The Harlequin.

The Gazette has received a COPY
Of The Harlequin, d bright, spicy
and independent paper, recently
started in New Orleans by J. NJ
l.eveQue, who was for several years
c INJECTED with the daily press of
the Crescent City. The Harlequin
contains some excellent editorial
matter and many pungent para
graphs which bear evidences of
the trenchant pen Of the trained
journalist. Cartoons by NJ. B.
Trezevant are particularly interest
ing and proclaim the work of a
skllful artist. The manly tone
which pervades the editorial. utter
ances of the Harlequin commands
the respect of the reader even

dorsement. All in all, The Har-
lequin is very readable publication
and we hope it will meet with the
it richly deserves
at the hands of an intelligent read
ing public.

The Gazette has received a letter
from it's young friend, Caneado
Mouton, son of Mr. Alex Mouton,
who is now at the United States
Naval Training Station near New
pot, X. 1. Caneado enlisted in the
navy on the 18th Of last April at
Norfolk, Va. From the che erful
spirit which pervades throughout
his letter we judge that he does not
at all regret his enlistment in the
navy. On the contrary he Is per-
fectly charmed with his surround
ings. He has already been en-
couraged by promotion, a fact
which his friends here will be pleased
to learn. The Gazette wishes its
plucky young friend a successful
career in his adopted profession.

BATTLE AT LAS PINAs.
Insurgents Made an Aggressive and Des
perate Resistance.

Insurgents Made an Aggressive and Des-
perate Resistance.
MANILA, June 15.-S:10 p. m.-The
fighting at Las Pines continued hotly
all day long. General Lawton called
out the whole force of 5000 men and at
5 o'clock he was only able to push the
insurgents back 500 yards to the Zapote
river, where they are entrenched. The
insurgents resisted desperately and ag-
gressively. They attempted to turn the
left flank of the American troops. The
American loss is conservatively esti-
mated at 60. The battle continues.
WASHINGTON, June 15.-The follow
ing cablegram has been received from
General Oris:
'Lawton's troops had severe engage
ment today with enemy in strong en-
trenchments at crossing Zapote river,
near Bacor, Cavite province, has driven
the enemy with heavy loss; our casnal-
ties some thirty. Insurgents in this
southern section not molested until
threatened attack in strong force on
Manila; now scattered, and in retreat;
doubtful if they make further stand"

Nez Perces Lands.

Only 100 miles southeast of the fer
tile grain fields of Eastern Washington,
between the Clearwater and Salmon
rivers, lies what was long known as
the Nez Perces Indian country, only
recently thrown open to settlement
and mining. Since the early sixties
when $3S, 100000 was washed out of
the rich placers of the Clearwater and
Salmon rivers it has been tradition
among miners that some day great
gold discoveries would be made in the
Nez Perces country. The enormous
cost of transportation, remoteness
from civilization and consequent i'm
possibility of carrying on large
mining operations left the quartz
ledges-the mother-lodes of the
placers-untouched. Almost stimuli
taneously with the completion of the
Northern Pacitic's Lewiston extension
from Spokane. came the announce
ment of the discovery in the Buffalo
Hump range of immense lodges of
gold bearing quartz which, cropping
out above the surface, and twenty feet
or more in width, extend in different
directions for many miles. The rapid
extension of the Clearwater Line of
the Northern Pacific, now building
along that river from Lewiston, will
soon throw this heretofore almost in
accessible country open to capital, ana
modern machinery with American grit
will do the rest. For fuller informa-
tion and a new map of this region
send a two cent stamp to Chas. S. Fee,
st. Paul, MINI, or address any Cen
eral or District Passenger Agent of
the Northern Pacific Railway.

Protect the Fish.

ED. T1MEs:-We notice an item in your
paper urging the punishment of violators
of our fish laws, and we feel that it is
time that the law abiding citizens of
Howard county were taking some steps
to protect Guy fish and enforce our laws,
Last year our State Fish Commissioner
shipped car load of bass, trout and
pickerel to DEBORAH, to stock the Iowa
from Freeport to Button This spring
he shipped to Cresco half car of trout
which were placed in the Iowa from
Bluffton to Granger and another car is
to follow, which will arrive some time
this summer, all game fish, and are to be
placed IN the Iowa and it's tributaries
from Granger to Chester. Now all we
ask is for the law abiding citizens of our
county to help us protect them and we
will guarantee the law will be enforced
If these violators are reported.
1t is unlawful to shoot, spear. seine or
dynamite any fish whatever, and the fine
is very heavy for each of these acts
We ask sporting men, What is the use of
stocking our streams,with game fish. to
be destroyed by people who disregard
law, unless you will unite with us to- an.
force the law for their protection.
al! iuloIudtlou SEM 10 the committee
will be kept secret. The men to look af-
ter this matter and report to the State
Fish Commissioner are
