Captain Edwards, OF FIT. Maginnis,
was in town first OF the week; he has
recently received a letter and photo
graph from his son Charles, who is
with Company |, in the Philippines
The young man has grown a
mustache and full beard and looks To
be in the best of health. Mr..
Edwards said he could have got his
boy discharged some time ago, but
upon writing him found that he had
no desire To come home until the
company was mustered out. The
captain carries a handsome cane
sent him by his son.
Some time ago there were rumors
afioat that one or two of the officers
OF Co. | were troubled with "cold
feet" In fuct, letters from the Phil
ippines to relatives here were any
thing but complimentary to the sol
dierly bearing and courage Of the
captain of the company. The ARGUS
has refrained from giving publicity
to these ugly reports, hoping that
after the first baptism of fire" mat
ters would improve. We presume
such is the case, but possibly a little
talk with the colonel OF the regiment
may have hraced up the captain. A
private of the company, in II recent
letter to his parents, comments as
follows: "The captain deports him
self little better OF late, which il due
to the fact that the colonel held
little private interview and told him
what would occur il he ever hid and
allowed the company to leave him
again, and he knows II he makes the
least break he will be ecourt-martialed
for cowardice. He narrowly escaped
it before" Evidently our captain is
not another Funston. But he may
have redeemed himself Let us be
charitable enough to hope that he
has.
Cute remarks attributed to chill
dren are frequently seen in the news
papers, but quite often they are the
production Of older heads. Lewis
town has some little folks that have
said some droll things that are
worthy Of publicatio tion. Not longa
a little miss had overheard that her
brother was going to have n pair of
corduroy pants. A day or two after,
in telling n playmate about it, she
said that Harry had "got a new pair
Of cod liver oil pants" A little boy,
while riding through coulee where
there was "a heavy growth of pine
and fir. after gazing with intent in
terest, quietly remarked that "this
must be the place where old Santa
Claus gets his Christmas trees" An
other small boy, who prides himself
on his good looks, was sent down
town on an errand recently and
while there the merchant, desiring to
say something that would please
him, evidently remarked that "he
looked just like his mother" The
boy returned home very indignant,
and when asked what was the trou-
BILE, replied: "Mr. said looked
Just like my mother. was so mad
had notion to break the show
case" And there are Others yet to
be heard from.

THE SILVER MEN.
They Plan to Hold Little Convention
Next Year

Chicago November 28.--The execu-
tive committee of the national silver
Republican, party met this afternoon to
discuss plans for the next presidential
campaign, exCongressman Towne pre-
siding. Though no official statement
was made by Chairman Towne, the SEN
timent of the members of the commit
tee apparently favored holding a ma
tional convention in 1900 simultaneously
with the Democratic national conven-
tion, and the Endorsement by silver Re-
publicans Of the nominees Of that con-
vention providing the silver plank of the
convention of 1896 be adopted. Senator
Teller said he believed the national sill
YER Republican convention would take
this action. He favored Endorsement of
the Chicago platform. Wi'lliam J. Bryan
Was generally favored. Some members
Of the committee expressed themselves
as opposed to the government by in
junction and the income tax planks of
the Democratic platform. 1t is probable
that at the close of the meeting Chair
man Towne will issue an official state
ment of the action taken defining the
policy of the party in the coming cam
paign.
