The Lady or the Grocer.

tfOm the Atchlson GIIDe.
A sensational lawsuit will shortly be
commenced in Atchison. Six months ago
a prominent woman appeared at a grocery
store where she traded, and said that her
husband had given her the money to pay
a months bill then due, but that she was
greatly in need of the money and requested
the grocer to receipt the bill, saying she
would pay the amount in three different in
stallments. The conversation took place in
the presence of three witnesses, the grocer
his bookkeeper and head clerk. The woman
paid no further attention to the matter
and when appealed to three months later
said she had paid the bill and had the re-
ceipt. The husband was drawn into the
controversy and stood by his wife The
grocer now says he will sue for the money
and prove by his own testimony and two of
his employees that the woman is deliberately
trying to defraud him.

r1es about the soldiers letters and had read
a large number of them. The boys" he
said, have written home many things that
do not make good reading. l guess they
will probably talk a good deal as they
write. Some of them have a lot of COM
plants about the regular army officers but
most OF them talk about the Philippines,
ana say 1t isn't white mans country /
guess you will find good many of them
who think they know as much about the
islands as Dewey does and they won't be
SLOW IN saying that Dewey was wrong when
he said we had taken an empire out there
They tell about their own experiences and
give the reasons why they don't like the
country; but the democrats who want to
to get badly fooled. The politicians seem
to think that the volunteers will come home
ADVISING that We turn the Philippines over
to Aguinaldo. They don't advise anything
OF the sort. Every one of them says that
We must keep up the fighting and make the
Ftllpinos understand who Uncle Sam is.
What they grumble about most in their let
tiers is that enough troops We're not sent out
to help them 1 will predict that every re-
turned volunteer who comes back to Ne
bfaSka, Dakota or Iowa will be mission
airy for larger army: That is the burden
of all their letters. They wanted 100 900
men sent out, and they wanted a military
commander after their own ideas. They
call General Otis Old OTIS and they find
lots of fault with him, but some of them
also find fault with Lawton. The people of
Nebraska and Dakota are going to welcome
the boys because they are glad to have
them back home, and that's another reason
why they probably won't let the Philippine
campaign be made a political issue. Still,
some of the republicans are nervous over
what may happen when the soldier boys
get back
Phases of Public Sentiment.
These are passing phasesgof public senti-
ment. l have found nothing in them to cause
me to believe that the support of the admin
istration will be weakened. Instead, nearly
every doubter and every one who wants to
find a means of ending the Philippine I'M
certainty insists more vigorous military
action. There are plenty Of folks in the
community who feel competent to manage
the military campaign at long range. Some
would have General Wesley Merritt sent
out, some would have General Miles placed
in command. General Merritt comes of
Illinois family, and his marriage to a Chi
cago young woman a few months ago
makes the city take good deal of pride in
him. General Miles has many partisaus.
One of them said to me: Miles wasn't
popular when he was stationed here, but
he helped himself by pitching into our big
beef packers. We never thought much of
Miles. the politician, but everybody believes
in Miles the soldier, That's why you hear
so many persons talking of sending him to
the Philippines CHARLES M. PEPPER.

A MEDAL OF CONTAMINATION.
Historic Metal Will Be Used in the
Dewey Reception Souvenir.

One of the features of the reception to
Admiral Dewey upon his arrival in this
city, which will be, it is expected, some
time in the early part of October, will be
the striking of medal especially comment
oratiVe of the event The committee of
one hundred citizens having charge of the
arrangements for the proposed reception
has succeeded in securing a supply of metal
captured from the Spanish in the battle of
Manila, which will be used in the manufac-
ture of the medals. Several days ago the
chairman of the committee on medals and
badges, Mr.. Simon Wolf, accompanied by
Mr.. W. V. Cox, the vice chairman of the
committee Of one hundred, and the acting
chairman in the absence from the city of
Mr.. W. H. Moses, the chairman, went to
the Navy Department and succeeded in
making arrangements for procuring a suf-
flcient supply of the metal having the his
toric significance above mentioned
1t is believed that the proposed medal
even made of ordinary material, would be
eagerly sought for concentrating as it
will an event of such Importance, but when
in addition, as in this case, the medals will
possess historic interest, owing to the ma
terial which will be used in their compost

Reconstruction of Brishtwood r.. r.

Work is to be begun at once in recon-
structing the Brightw bod railroad from
Florida avenue to the District line. The
delay in beginning active operations has
been entirely due to the inability Of the
iron manufacturers to furnish the material
which will be needed. Now, however, the
rails and other material needed are on
hand, and the general manager Of the
road, Mr.. F. l.. Hart. feels justified in 60
ing on with the work. 1t is expected that
it will be six weeks or two months before
It will be possible to operate the road
reconstI ucted. What is known the dou-
BILE trolley is to be used, and in other re-
spects the equipment is to be first-class.
