q Neosho County Boy.

John Cannon and wife have been
visiting relatives In this city recently.
John is an other of the Neosho County
boys who Is climbing up. A few years
back John was farming a little and
teaching country school. He seemed
to be quite successful and made quite
a reputation as country school teach
er but finally it dawned on John that
he was not fully equipped for the work
of teaching so he sold off his stock and
implements, rented his farm and NOV
ed up to Emporia and took complete
normal course. Now, instead of teach
ing little dinky school in the country
of fiye or six months at salary of IS
to 40 dollars, he gets an 8 month
school at $85 a month. There are
many other teachers IN the country
that might benefit themselves in the
same way if they just had the snap to
burn the bridges behind them and
make the effort. John is the same
genial John he used to be, without
any extra airs or frills and we are truly
glad to see him and know of his sue
cess.

OUR FLAG STANDS FOR LIBERTY OPPORTUNITY AND HUMANITY KNLEY
Sire!

Wednesday morning, bel en- l
and o'clock, the peaceful abers
of the residents of Prosle Hill
were rudely broken by the shrill cry
Of fire. Upon investigation it was
found that the seven-room residence,
unoccupied, on the corner of Roth
Avenue and South street was in
flames. R
A large cros,d soon collected but
the fire had made such headway that
nothing could be done to save the
building.
In remarkable short time after
the alarm was given the freboys were
on hand with their hose, having run
about three-Quarters of a mile up hill
all the way and dragged their cart
through the deep sand. They soon
had line of hose stretched from the
nearest hydrant and turned on the
water. The crowd expected to see a
fine stream OF water playing on the
fire but were doomed to disappoint-
ment. There was no pressure and
they could do nothing.
There is a lameness somewhere.
This fire developed the fact that the
citizens living some distance back
from 4th street have no protection.
Either the hydrants are not kept clean
or the fire pressure was not turned on.
The stream thrown last night would
not have wet the shingles on Charley
Cox's chicken house. The boys SIM
ply quit in disgust.
The house that burned was fortu.
nately entirely detached so there was
no other property endangered. How
ever, the residents of that part of
town would like to know if they are
entirely OUT of the line of protection.

Reinforcements are rapidly arriving at

thorities expect speedy news that Gatacre
has taken the offensive, thus diverting a
portion of the Orange Free State forces

The resolution for the appointment of

resolution for consideration of the cur

Richardson on behalf of the minority
dssented emphatically from the PROPOSE

contained nothing radically new. For
the first time in the history of the country
it was proposed by statutory provisions
to fasten the gold standard upon the
country.

Washington, Dec. S--Otis today cables
the war department in regard to the uD-
rising in Negros as follows:
Manila. Dec. ST. am informed the
outbreak of the natives in the district OF
south NcEroS was the result of the re-
ported recent great insurgent Veto, les
in Luzon and Panay. which the natives
believe. The extent of the outbreak was
not ascertined. Lieutenant Ledvarl ol
the Sixth infantry was killed and two
priVates wounded.
"One of our chief difficulties arises
from the circulation of faisehool among
the natives. Defamatory newspaper ar
ticles of the United States and Europe
are promptly published in Spanish in
San Francisco. Madrid and by the Hong
kong junta and circulated in the Philip
pines. The insurgents have based all
hopes on false rumors."
The second from Otis, dated Manila.
today, says:
Hospital ship Relief has just returned
from Vigan, bringing 80 sick soldiers
and 232 Spanish prisoners. She reports
several hundred Spanish prisoners at
Vigan, for which We send transport this
evening.
Colonel Hare of the Thirty-tlird in
fantry took Bangued on the 9Th instant
and is now with a portion of the regiment
and battalion of the Thirty fourth in
fantry in pursuit of the insurgents on
the roads southeast to Lepanto, thence
to Bontoco, on which Aguinaldo and 300
insurgents are supposed to be retreating
with ammunition and prisoners. The in
habitants of western LuZon are friendly
and give assistance"
Otis also reports the arrival of the
transport Olympia with the Thirty-ninth h
infantry, one battalion of the orty-fifth
infantry and some recruits. No casual
ties on the VOYAGE.
The town of Bontoc. towards which
Aguinaldo With his body guard is said to
be retreating. lies In the mountain fast
neSseS about 80 or 60 miles southeast Of
Vigan. If this report as to Aguinaldo's
whereabouts is true ii indicates he has
been headed off to the nortllward for the
first time and is being compelled to re-
trace his steps towards the south. II he
is striving to regain his old stronghold in
caVite province his chances of success
are very slight Directly in his line of
march is a considerable American force
at Bayonbong; to the westward Of that
point is Wheaton's force, and TO The east
of RayOnbOnE is an almost impossible
mountain range.
So. with Young behind him, with Colo
mel Hare close in his rear and his front
obstructed. the war department officials
feel that AguinaldO has little chance of
escape to the southwark. Major Batch
eler is said to be making RAPIDLY for
Apart, about the only port on the ex-
treme north end of the island so as to
reduce the outlet in that direction. The
best chance remaining to Aguinaldo is
believed to be to abandon the escort of
300 now travelling with him, in which case
he could easily insure his personal escape
in disguise.

Germany Is Not Bound.

New York, Dec. S.-A dispatch to the

correspondents of the Morning Post and
other I4onaon papers to the effect that
the German government is no longer
bound by the declarations made by Baron
Won Marschall, While he was secretary
of state for foreign affairs, have created
a sensation in the German press The
! declarat tions referred to are contained
IN a dispatch from Baron Won Marschall
to Count Won Hatzfedt, dated Feb. /.

wrote that German interests demand :

treaty of 1894 and the maintenance of
the status quo with reference to the rail-
way and to the harbor of Delagoa bay.

The Vossische Zetung is of the opinion
that the statement in the London Jour-

1895 could only to-day bear the signifi-
cance of a historical "Reminiscences and

Delay in Appointment.

Omaha, Dee. S-GOvernor Poynter has
been called from the capital to Albian by
the illness of his father and this has
caused a slight break in the fight for
senator to succeed Senator Hayward The
friends of both Allen and Hitchcock are
busy organizing their forces. however
One feature of the contest is the dropping
of all talk of a compromise candidate and
it appears certain that one of the two will
get it. The fusion members of the last
legislature are practically unanimous in
urging Aliens appointment. The demo-
Gratis are apparently united on Hitchcock
and are making their strongest fight on
the plea that the democrats have no.,
heretofore received their share of the Of
fees under the fusion arrangement. The
governor announced the appointment will
not be made before the middle of next
week in order to give all parties ample
chance to be heard.
