spect and had stated it's intentions
as to the disposition aud future
government of these islands. There
is 20 question but what the natives
could have governed the interior Of
the islands and if the United States
had framed for them a good, liberal
constitution and for some years
held the custom houses the natives
would have been satisfied. Uncle
Sam could have held the big Manila
bay and Cavite as a naval and coal
ing station and all would have been
we'll. The natives would have been
satisfied. The other islands could
have been governed by the natives
themselves under such an arrange
ment and no Ives would have been
lost. AS it is, the hatred toward
Americans is intense.
81 did at one time figure in stay
ing here a year to see the interior,
but now the quicker I get away the
better it suits me. The life of any
American will not be safe in these
islands in the future. No employ
ment is profitable here unless a
man has big capital. Big money
will be invested here to a great
advantage after while. 1t is ridicu-
lous to think of laboring men stay
ing here and expecting to compete
with the native cheap labor. An
American would starve here if the
natural fruit did not grow on
the trees and fish grow IN the
river.
"We have not had any fighting
for about ten days and as to the
future Y can't say what we will do.
The papers are full of reports about
sending the volunteers home as fast
as the regulars arrive, but such
talk is cheap and will believe it
when see it verified by action. A
great many of the boys are sick,
bothered with sores and are alto
gether unserviceable. Co. M. has
Jared we'll in all shis fighting. We
have many times been in close
quarters with the insurgents and
the bullets were coming thick and
fast, and many times / have wonder
ed how it was possible to 90 through
such a shower of steel and lead.

Gov. Lee Visits Rapid City.

Gov. Andrew E. Lee spent Mon
day with his friends in this city.
While here he called on The UNION
and spent an hour or so in conversa-
ton with the chief pencil-pusher on
this household joy. He discussed
the political situation and stated
that the general situation looked
very favorable for a big silver vic
tory in South Dakota next year.
The governor says the freight rate
case will be passed upon by the
United States supreme court in Oc-
tober and the question will be de-
cided as to whether the people or
the railroads rule in South Dakota.
Coy. Lee is a shrewd business man
and a careful student of public ques-
tions. His sincerity in the princi-
pies contended for by his party ard
his determination to uphold them is
made manifest in every conversation
touching on questions of public in
%terest. He fully appreciates the
value OF an aggressive newspaper
support for the allied silver parties
and places due credit upon the boys
in the editorial chairs.
The UNION thoroughly enjoyed
the governors call.

The Dakota Pacific Project.

The committee on claims chosen
at a citizens meeting last week to
arrange for the placing of all the old
d. u W. claims in escrow until Jan
uary l, 1900, and thereby enable the
bringing in of new materials and
rolling stock for the resumption of
work on the Dakota Pacific line
west from this city to Mystic on the
b. u M, has been busily engaged in
its duties this week and has sue
ceeded in arranging nearly al! of
these old claims as outlined above.
Those not already so arranged will
be taken care Of in a few days, the
delay being caused by the owners of
such claims residing at a distance.
That they will be placed with the
others there is no doubt. The COM
mittee on claims is to be congratu-
lated on its success in the matter
and The UNION is glad to see the
whole matter brought to a close.
The right-of-way committee has
been no less busy. 1t is securing
the signatures of all the property
owners whose lots face on the pro-
posed route and will have them all
in a few days ore. A right-of-
way ordinance has been drafted and
the complexion Of the present city
council insures it's passage and
approval without unnecessary delay
of difficulty. This will bring the
Dakota Pacific project to point
where work can be resumed without
hindrance OF interruption of any
kind.
The surveying party which left
the city for work up the line We'd
nesday will push operations and the
final surveys and cross-sectioning
will be completed as rapidly as
possible. The whole situation is
summed up in Mr.. Coad's assurance
that I'VE r ready to resume
work" That dirt will be flying on
the Dakota Pacific within thirty
days there appears to be no doubt.
1t is understood that construction
work will be handled from the
Mystic end of the line and the new
material shipped in over the B. &
NJ, though a gang of men will be
sent down to this end to repair and
place in good condition the nine
miles of grade and track already
laid.
The UNION is especially gratifed
to see that all the attorneys having
charge Of the old D. & w. claims
signi6ed a willingness to put a
shoulder to the wheel and enable
the resumption of work on the line.
This is as it should be and the
general sentiment of the people
seems to be that the time has come
for Rapid City to push ahead. The
completion Of the Dakota Pacific
will be a long step in that direction.
Let the good work go on.

The common and old-fashioned tdea
d that tho tints Of autumn foliage are
caused BY frost. Stated briefly, the
causes are these: The green matter IN
the tissue OF leaf Is composed OF two
3colors, red and blue. When the sap
ceases to flow in the autumn and the
natural growth Of the tree ceases
oxidation of the tissue takes place.
Under certain conditions the green
leaf changes to red; under different
conditions it takes on yellow or
brown tint-due to difference In COM
b!nation Of the original constituents
Of the green tissue, and to the vary
ing Conditions of climate, exposure and
soil. A dry, cold climate produces
more brilliant foliage than one that IS
damp and warm. This Is the reason
that our American autumns are SO
much more gorgeous than those OF
England.

Tow Walton Swallowed.

A toy watch, about the size Of .
quarter, swallowed by Alma Todt. 3
years old, of 1926 North Ashland avenue,
was located in the pit of her stomach
by means Of X rays. The watch would
have caused death ultimately. The
little girl is in a precarious condition
and surgical operation will be neces-
sary to remove the timepiece. The
little girl swallowed the watch while
playing in the parlor Of her home.
She held it dangling from a chain,
then placed it in her mouth. In some
way the fastening became loosened
and she started coughing, forcing 1t
down her tlroat.-Chicago Chronicle.

DEATH OF COBB M'NAIRN
Wife and Widow in Three
Short Weeks.

The news of the sudden death OF
Cobb McNairn, which occurred
Saturday evening, was received
with surprise, as he was on the
streets Saturday morning, and ate
dinner at his home, as usual.
Shortly after, however, he was
seized with a spasm and suffered
great agony till his death, a few
hours later. Deceased was 29
years old, was born in Georgia,
and had lived in Vinita some five
or six years. He was married
three weeks ago to Miss Louisa
Nidiffer and had been house
keeping just one week. He was a
twin brother of VIM. McNairn
who died here about three years
ago, and was buried by his side
in the cemetery north of town
Sunday afternoon. The funeral
was generally attended, the process
sion being one of the largest seen
in Vinita in a long time. The
circumstances attending the young
mans death are peculiarly sad.
Services were held at the house
by Rev. NJ. l.. Butler, and the
burial was conducted by the Ma
sonic fraternity.

Welded UNDER DIFFICULTIES.
Groom Arrested on a Charge of High
way Robbery.

Frank Golden and Mrs. Phoebe
Miller, both of Talala, came in
last evening to consult Clerk J. G.
Anderson with regards to matri-
mony. The preliminaries had
been arranged and Golden was in
the act of affixing his signature
to the documents when Capt.
White and Deputy Webb walked
into the clerks office and placed
the gentleman under arrest on a
charge of highway robbery. At
first neither of the contracting
parties were visibly affected. The
bride quietly suggested postpone
ment till the clouds cleared away,
but upon learning that her brother
was also a party to the crime
forcibly relieving horseman Of his
saddle-she consented to proceed,
evidently thinking it no worse to
have highwayman husband than
brother. Mayor J. r. Sheehan
made the couple one-and then
began the tempest of her soul.
Tears flowed in abundance-per-
haps in the hope ofarousing suffici-
ent sympathy to secure the release
of her husband. This, however,
failed, and the bride of few min
utes tainted. With all the gal
lantry of a SIR Walter, Clerk An
derson came to the rescue with a
cup of clear cold water which was
very effective in restoring her to
consciousness.
Golden was placed in Jail and
the bride conducted to the Farm
er's Home hotel, there to await
developments-annOuncing her
intention of starting home this
morning to secure bail for the hus-
band.

Miss Mabel Lusk, of Parsons, dur
ing her three weeks visit in our
city. To afford pleasant oppor.
tunity for saying farewell, now
that the time for her return home
has arrived, her host, Mrs. w. B.
Coley, gave a progressive whist
party Monday afternoon to A few
friends. While regretting the oc-
casion, for the young lady has be-
come very popular during her visit
in the city, the invitations were
accepted with great deal of pleas
ure, the recipients knowing well
the treat in store. Every arrange
ment was perfect and the refresh
ments as tempting and delicate as
could be. A cute little scheme
was employed for keeping the
games. Each lady was provided
with card punched with seven
holes, the number of games pro-
posed to be played. To the cards
of the winners a miniature heart,
diamond, spade or club was tied
each time with a delicate piece of
ribbon. The guests present were

LIKE ROMANY FOLK.
A Happy Company Dine on the Hill
North of the City.

A score and a half of young
folks-there were none who would
not resent being called even mid
die aged-went out upon the hill
this side of Henry Donnelly's Tues
day night for a moonlight picnic
popularity, a gypsy tea" Had
all gone out in a body with the
commissary, it would have been
more daylight than moonlight tea,
but as usual they did not. And
as usual, half of the party lost
their way and what with half of
the lost waiting down in the valley
somewhere for the other half
who had found their way-it was
nearly nine before "grace" was
said and the repast began. The
spot selected by DR.. Day, gypsy in
chief, was a delightful one for the
purpose, being the highest ground
in that section. But for this fact
the lost ones might be lost still;
as it was, the advance guards sig
nal was seen for a distance OF a
mile or two and the others brought
into camp. The excellence OF the
spread, added to the novelty and
the wait, gave all hearty appetite
and to have gathered up twelve
baskets Of the fragments which re-
mained would have taken mir
acle. On taking an invoice of the
"out6t" the cause of all the
trouble was clear-there were thir-
teen rigs. Their occupants were
Mr.. and Mrs. Mellette and
Mrs. Paul, Mr.. and Mrs.
Anderson, Mr.. and Mrs. Mil
ford, Miss Graper and Miss Bess
