munity would do well to take he'd and act thereon. We will nOt enter into them again as the days of my preachmcnt are over.
 We will say this, however. Let no designing man whose machinations may be hurt by what IS said in any paper, in flucnce the minds of better mon to it's prejudice. A paper which panders to the irresponsible and graft element, is worse than no paper. It is safe, therefore, to uphold outspoken, honest in dependence. X town with such a paper is blessed.
 We have basked in the sun shine of little pleasantries which in the main have brought cheer to the hearts of some of our good people who we know will always hold us in kindly remembrance.
 We took hold to assist Mr. McKeand until he could secure the services of. some talented gentleman from the sound coun- try. The tulented party did not crystalize, and then Me. took sick. He has been very ill and hard at work for over three months wrestling with the grim reaper. Me. won the deciding bout and is now on top ready to resume. We extend to him our hearty congratulations for his recovered health and to the pat rons Of the Journal that from this on they will get good stuff for their money.
 We hope everybody in Wran- gel will do what they can to up hold the paper. If they will do onetenth part of what they ought to do, it will prosper. And now farewell.

TO THE PUBLIC.
T. C.. WILSON.

The Journal, fully impressed with the importance of W1angel as prospective mining centre. and of the great advantages to accrue to the business interests of the town by encoura ging men to prospect in good faith, has es- tabliShed a mining feature to il $ office.
 We will arrange to exhibit specimens of rock in one of our large office windows, and invite claim owners to leave their specimens with Us for inspection by the public. We will receive such specimens upon the follow ing conditions only:
 The owner must state the name of the locations; date and place of location: if assays are had. a copy of the assay, giving name of assayer: the amount of work done onthe claim; il short we want from each person leaving specimens. an open and honest statement of everything relating to the location which will give an intelligent conception of it.
 If the property is for sale we will try to sell it for a fair com mission. If capital is needed to aid in developement, we will en- deavour to supply it.
 Our paper is growing in cir culation and influence and we will be pleased to give the widest circulation to it's mining depart ment, We hope the business men of the town will see the possible advantages to be deriv- ed from this effort. and that they will do what they can to create a splendid exhibit for the infor- nation of those who will in the future visit us with view Ot purchasing or developing mining property.

SATURDAY. FEB. |. ls!9.

This issue will close the me- teoric career of the unuerSi gned. who, for three months has dealt with the liVin" problems which weigh heavy on the shoulders of the responsible editor of d great journal. We have at times. 10 meet the gravity of the situation, risen to lofty heights, and think. taking one consideration with another, we have laid the ghost of many subjects which knocked at the door for a public consider ation.
 We have sustained the weight of Atlas and am pleased to lay down the burden to seek some solemn shade far from the mad dening world to renew our youth. The measures of a life are not de- termined by years, but by it's activities and cares. We have aged perceptably. The mid night oil, the pensive thought fitness and the soft eXecrations of those loved ones on whom we have thought best to bestow a few remarks, have had an ap- preciable effect.
 The sweet compensation which always come to those devoted to duty in the pleasant recognition of friends who have commended our work, have enabled us to turn over in our sleep at night refreshed for our labors of the coming day.
 All men are human and it may be possible we have made few mistakes. If we have, they have been those of the heart and not of the head. If there is to be any desparagement put upon one of these two constitutional ele- ments we would rather keep the integrity of the thinking organ as a matter of pride, because our heart from the worlds abuses has taken on a hardened exterior If we have, through inadvertence or design, wounded the susceptibilities of anybody, we ask anybody's forgiveness as he himself hopes to be for given by us. We would like to close our experimental journal istic career with an all round re- ciprocity of forgiveness.
 We have a very large spasm of satisfaction at intervals in the fact that we have spoken some practical and sensible things of which the people of our com

TEXAS'S ANTITRUST WAR
Gov. JoneS Of Arkansas Says inc New Law Disturbed Business There.

Little Rock, Ark, April 25.-GoY- ernor Jones today received the follow ing telegram from member of the Texas legislature:
 Has the antitrust law driven in- surance companies from your state? Has it paralyzed business interssts ot your state''
 The governor replied:
 'I am informed by the al1ditor and insurance commissioner that all for eign fire insurance companies, sixty three in number, which were autho- Uized to do business in the state have, since the passage of the antitrust law, withdrawn and cslsel doing business in this state. and policies are not now obtainaibIe CXcept in two mutuas com panies, organized and incorporated under laws of this state The provis- ions of the law prohibiting companies from doing business in this state which are members of any association or combination to fix retes on busi- ness outside this state was the sole cause of their withdrawal. Business is disturbed, but to what extent I can not now inform you.''
 Dallas, Tex, April 25.-Another mass meeting of business and profes- sional men was held at the Commer- cial club rooms today to organize op- position to the antitrust bill now pending in the state legislature at Austin. The mott rctivef spirits of the opposition are insurance agents A long series of resolutions strongly condemnatory of thIa measure was adopted and ordered presented to the legislature. Another committee was appointed to go to Austin. The fol- lowing telegram was qead from Rep resentative Wcoten of Dallas, the rec ognized democratic le1delr of the house:
 "Replying to te1egrans as to anti trust bill, will say all parties will have full hearing before my committee. The trusts must go, but there is no purpose to injure business in this or legitimate transactions. Insurance companies are not above the laws of the land and must not attempt to ter ror1ze their customers by threats of withdrawal. Will be glad to hear the views of all who are affected by the bill and would especially like to hear from the real Ti5orle, who Gre net frightened by the trusts and their threats
 No legislative matter affecting gen eral business interests in Texas has caused mons concern than this pro posed anti trust law.

MARBLE TO GIVE AWAY
White Elephant Thai Has Cost inc
 Government $2.OOO Year.

New York, April 25.-Since the liar lem river improvements of 1887 the federaii government has had OF it's hands 235, ,O00 crlhtc yards of limestone known as Westchester marble, which was excavated and stored on leased land at Dyckmanis Meadows, near Spuyten Duyvil. The rental has amounted to S2,O0O year, an amount which the government has several times tried td reduce by selling or even giving away the stone.
 In 1889 the stone was advertised for sale, but there were no bids, and an attempt later in the year to sell part tractor fell through. In 1890 a firm which offered toA take part of the stone as a gift failed to live up to it's con- tract, and the only decrease in the pile occurred in 1892, when "a bridge build CT used a few hundred cubic yards and contractors engaged on public works took few thou5and mere

An Attack Upon Calumpit the
 Latest Stronghold.
MANY AMERICANS KILLED
Before fine Fire of inc We'll Drilled Insurgents Who are C0nteSfina EVerV Inch of inc ISIa0dS-The Unified States Forces Withdrew 10 Rest for a Greater Battle Today.

Manila, April 25, 1O:30 p. m.-Gen- eral MacArthur's division fought it's way to the Filipino trenches before Calumpit today, tramping four miles,
 mostly through woods and jungle and crossing the Bagbag river. This was accomplished at a cost to the Amer jeans of six killed and twenty-eight wounded the First South Dakota regi- ment being the heaviest loser.
 After fording the river the South Dakotans pursued the insurgents to the outskirts of Calumpit, but the town was found to be so strongly pro- tected that General Macarthur deemed it best to withdraw the tired fighters and go into camp for a nights rest before making the final assault. The largest buildings in Calumpit were be- ing fired by the Filipinos while the Americans were crossing the river fully mile away, indicating the en- emy's intention of abandoning the place. The insurgents seem to have adopted a settled policy Of retiring from one position after another. after inficting the greatest possible damage upon the advancing army.
 7 The forces today were well drilled Every inch of ground was tenaciously disputed by the well organized troops, who stood remarkably firm, even be- fore the artillrey. The enemy had planned to wreck our artillery trans port train. This attempt was a fail ure, but span of an iron bridge over the river was destroyed, hampering the American transports for some time.

Baltimore Md, April 25.-Edgar Al lison, IS years old, of North Carolina medical student at the Maryland uni versity who says he is a nephew of Senator Allison of Iowa, was arrested here today charged with burglary. The police believe he is a professional. He was one of the most popular young men at the university, and from his statements it is supposed he belongs to prominent family. When arrested at 8 o'clock this morning he had a bag over his shoulder containing many valuable pieces of harness. At the house where Allison boarded the po- lice found more articles of similar kind. A member of a hardware firm identified some of the goods. Another merchant identified goods belonging to him.

REED LOOKS AHEAD
PIonning for inc President
 idI Nomination in I9O4.
The Speaker Has at Last Been Brought to Recognize fhe Im- possibility of an Entrance 10 inc White House In 1900.

Washington, April 25.-There is much discussion here of the news that Speaker Reed is going to retire from congress, and will not be speaker of the next house. As stated last week, MT Reed has received offers from large insurance companies to become their attorney, and when he was in Washington last week he announced his intention of accepting them and de- votig his time in the future to law practice instead of legislative work.
 It is not true that MT. Reeds plans were made known to the president during the trip to Jekyl Island, for the president and Mr. Reed did not meet there except in the most casual manner The administration heard of MT. Reeds plans after the president returned from the south.
 One thing that has greatly in fiuenced MT. Reed in retiring from to become president. His friends have been for the last year or so making a quiet canvass for delegates to the next republic national convention, with the hope of securing the nomina- ton next year for the ex-speaker. These, efforts have been far from sue cessful, because the Reed agents have found the country overwhelmingly in favor of the renominating of MT. Me Kinley, and there is little hope of any thing h11t handful of delegates for MT. Reed.
 The offer of $50, 1000 per year salary to MT Reed seems more tempting at this time than another term as speaker and another failure for nomination at the national convention. But the friends of Mir Reed say he is still a young man, comparatively, and by moving to New York he can get a foothold there in few years, which may in 1904 secure him the Empire state delegation to the national con- vention. By supporting Mir Sherman as his successor as speaker of the next house, MT. Reed hopes to put the New York delegation under obligations to him in 1900 and has the hope that they will repay him in 1904.
 There is no surprise in Washington at MT Reeds refusing to talk on this matter or in refusing to deny the news. He was so positive in his state ment last week, that he left no doubt in the minds of his friends as to his intention.

DISORDER IN GUADELOUPE.
Fatal Incendiary Fires at La Point-a-
 Pitre Alarm France.

Paris, April 25.-The fires at La Point-a-Pitre, Guadeloupe, which were started by the riotous blacks and caused the destruction of much prop erty and the loss of many lives, fix the attention of the colonial party. It Is recalled with certain anxiety that risings in the West Indies are in variably preceded by incendiarisn. Some papers urge the government to send a strong military force to sup press the unrest, which they believe the fires indicate
 M. Legitimus, the negro deputy from Guadeloupe, declares that he is as- founded by the disaster, which, if in cendiary, is unaccountable. When he left the island few months ago the negroes were contented. He does not think that they are guilty of starting the fires He hinted that the incen- diaries were foreigners who were eer-

STORY OF THE DAY.

Manila, April 25, 6:15 D. m.-GeneraI Haie's brigade, consisting of the Ne braska,. Iowa and South Dakota regi- ments, with three guns, which left Malolos on Monday, followed the west bank of the Rio Grandes river to the Ford. Many small bands of rebels were encountered and during the af- ternoon the Americans discovered several hundred Of the enemy en- trenched near Pulitan north of Quin- gano. Our troops attacked the reb- els, losing six men killed and seven wounded. General Hales troops claim nearly two hundred dead natives were killed, among them a Spanish captain. The South Dakota regiment bore the bEunt of the fighting and had five men killed and nine wounded.
 The temperature today was 94, and several cases of sunstroke were re- ported. The weather was cloudy and the country traversed is thickly wooded and the hardest for fighting The rebels along the Bagbag river were reinforced from Calumpit as the IIOOpS uQQer G6Q6raI Hale ap- preached. During the day the Ameri- cans captured thirty-five prisoners. As this dispatch Is sent the rebels arc retreating in the direction of Calum- pit.
 AS the campaign progresses the rebel troops are improving. They are adopting American methods and their accuracy of shooting is evinced by the fact that the five Americans were shot in the head. General Hale at o'clock this morning crossed the river and advanced on Calumpit General Mac Arthur's division also advanced, but none of the armored flat cars were pushed ahead on the railroad The Kansas regiment advanced on the night of the track and the Montana regiment pushed forward from the left. The rebels are already returning to Malolos and are becoming trouble some.

tainly a danger to the colony. Many had been sent to their homes at the expense of the general council, but about a thousand Indians remained in the island without work or working for insufficient wages. Possibly the outrage was due to them.
 M Glegitinal1s received an anony- nous letter from La Pcint-a-Pitre on March confirming his view that the many recent fires in the island were incendiary, the outcome of poverty and the intolerable situation. The writer intimated that the inhabitants were dissatisfied with their representa- lives, who ought to be able to stop the loss in exchange which was crush ing the small planters. M. Legitimus owned ten of the burned houses. He will return on the first steamer to the island.
 Senator Isaac of Guadeloupe will interpellate the government concern ing the. disaster. He holds that M. Gui1lain, minister of the colonies, and the local officials are answerab ble for the trouble. In some quarters the interfering, aggressive attitude of certain United States politicians on all West Indian questions is considered to constitute a serious factor of the situation.
 M Guillain, minister of the colonies, has cabled to the governor of Guade- loupe that France will contribute 50,O00 francs immediately for the re- lief of the sufferers by the fire, and that parliament will be asked to con tribute a further sum when it reas- SembleS.
