ing's Journal relative TO the whereabouts Of
Alex. Jester, the murderer of Gilbert
Gates. John Howard, of this city, and at
that time, 1S7l, resident of the little town
of Losantville, in the southwest part of
this county, relates the following: 1.-THE
year of the murder Alex Jester
had a brother, Isaac Jester, residing
in Losantville. where he sold bad whisky
from quart dive. Some time after the re-
year of the murder Alex. Jester
came to his brothers home, driving the
team and having in his possession a tame
buffalo which had been the property, as
was afterward learned, of the murdered
Gates. Jester remained about his brothers
few weeks and left. Within day or two
OF his leaving officers who were in pursuit
of him came to the town and picked up such
particulars OF him as could be secured. Later

sent to Prison, Instead of Being Shot
by Fflipinos for Treason.


MANILA. June 2e-Details of the sentenc-
Ing OF Colonel Arguelles. a Filipino commits
sioner. to twelve years Imprisonment, have
Just been received here. 1t was at first re-
ported that his condemnation by the Filipi-
nos was due to the friendship he displayed
towards americans. but the information
Just received shows the accusation against
him was not based on his peace conferences
at Manila. as supposed. but that his ad-
vocscy Of autonomy among the insurgents
was treated as treason. The charge against
the colonel was that IN conversation with
Filipino officers he predicted that disorders
within the insurgent territory would lead
10 civil war. and. therefore, he said he con-
sidered autonomy under the Americans pref
erable to independence. The Filipino Con-
gress tried him on the charge of treason and
q heated debate over autonomy followed.
Finally, the colonel was sentenced TO death
but this was commuted to twelve years inn
prisonnent on account OF his previous serv-
ices to the cause, after an eloquent plea
upon the part OF his counsel. Col. Arguelles
II one OF the most conservative and re-
spected men identified with the insurrection
The rebels have learned that the Ameri-
can volunteers are returning to the United
States. and the Filipino newspapers show
that they construe this to mean that the
Americans are abandoning the war and are
encouraged thereby.

LONDON, June 23.-M. De Blowitz, the
Paris correspondent of the Times, says:
M. Guillian, the outgoing minister of the
colonies. had the audacity TO say yesterday
that he was waiting for justice TO pro-
nounce in the case OF Dreyfus. This proves
that the Dupuy Cabinet wanted Dreyfus
condemned again, in order TO absolve the
Dupuy Cabinet of 1894. who was compro-
missed equally with Mercier. but in this
strange affair, i'm moments OF supreme
crisis some unforeseen event always inter-
venes to prevent the triumph OF iniquity

BOSTON, June PA sneak thief entered
the Metropolitan National Bank to-day and

Captain Mahans arguments were alto

In the discussion regarding Dumdum bull

no bullet should be adopted which caused
unnecessary suffering.
Although IL must be obvious TO all that

Records of Cryptic Masons
will Remain in a Rock on
Pixies Peak.

Colorado Springs, Colo, Aug. IL
The first international pilgrimage of
Cryptic Masons to the summit OF
Pixies Peak was completed today. The
exercises reached a climax in the cere-
mony of sealing the records of the pill
grimage The bowlder selected and
excavated several years ago is one of
the largest of 40 acres of high rocks
comprising the summit of the peak.
1t is located between two others nearly
as large and named in honor of Schley
and Bryan.
The records were placed in the bronze
box, eight inches wide by twelve in
ches long, and Theoretically sealed.
The ceremony was performed in full
paraphernalia of the order. A bronze
tablet marks he spot.
One hundred years hence it will be
the guide to the descendants of the
participants, who are expected to make
like pilgrimage and to open and read
the records.

Pies and Prosperity.

A curious feature of the prosperous
times is the fact that the consumption
of pastry has increased largely within
the past few years. A well known
baker said yesterday that he is now
selling fully 25 per cent more pies than
he was four or five years ago.
ITO what do you attribute this?' he
was agde.
"Well, think to put it in a few
words, great many people can afford
to eat pies now who could not when
the hard times were upon us, The
clerk who went to the restaurant to get
his lunch would then put up with a
sandwich. Now he feels he can afford
some dessert, and there the pie comes
in.
"A laborer, who formerly was con-
tent with the plain fare put up for him
by his wife, now stops in bakers on
his way to work ana adds a pie to the
contents of his dinner pail "--Phila-

5000 PEOPLE
Attended the Harvest Home Picnic
at WatertoWn Saturday.

The Fourteenth annual Harvest
Home Picnic, held at Watertown Sat
urday was as usual an extraordinary
affair. The Watertown picnic is be-
coming famous for the size OF its
crowds and the motive that draws the
people together The attendance, Sat
urday was, without doubt, over five
thousand, and about the only reason
most of them had for going was that
of meeting with relatives, friends or
acqualntances. Many were the family
reunions, the happy meeting of old
friends and the pleasant hours of so
cial chat and enjoyment at the picnic
Saturday.
The picnic was held aBout mile
from Watertown, in Bingham's
Grove, a beautiful place for such a
meeting. The good roads and clear
weather added largely toward making
up the crowd and they were mere
from every direction for miles around.
While perhaps it Is the intention of
the promoters of the affair to afford
the people a place and time for the ex-
change of friendly greetings and plea
SAINT meetings, there are also exercises
of public nature and music, .recita-
tons and speeches are given a promi-
nent part on the days program.
The music and recitations were rend-
cred by the best of local talent, the
Watertown cornet band furnishing the
instrumental music. Short but inter
eslng speeches were made by Rev. R.
F. Bishop, Presiding Elder of the Ma
rietta district; Rev. Beaumont, of Bev-
erly, and Prof Martin X. Andrews and
Attorney L. w. Ellenwood, of this city.
Although the weather was very
warm and the roads became almost in
to.erably dusty by afternoon,the crowd
took it all good naturedly and when
evening came most of them departed
for their homes, tired but happy. A
large number of young people remain
ed to enjoy the pleasures of the eve
ning's dancing.
The candidates for Office were at the
picnic en- masse. Although we missed
seeing a few during the afternoon
nearly all of them were on hand when
the supper call came at the hotel
There were enough present to have
formed large and very fair looking
street parade.
Taken altogether it was very en-
joyable occasion, and Watertowr
should be justly proud of the reputa
tion she has gained for her royal en-
tertainment of visitors during the b.i
picnic.
