GRAVE NEWS FROM ILOILO.
Insurgents R fuse to Deliver the Place to Americans-Gen. Miller Win Enter
 tain No Ou!bbling

Washington Jan. 3.-There is grave fear of trouble in the Philippines. A long message was received by cable from Gen. Otis. He reports the disap- pearance of Aguinaldo and the refusal of the insurgents to deliver Iloilo to the American forces sent from Manila to take possession of that city A. eabIes .am was drawn up and sent to Gen. Otis directing him to execute his original orders rega rding lloilo, and this means that the United States forces will take possessi on of the city and harbor, notwithstanding the re- sistance of the Filipinos
 Gen. Otis considers the disappearance of Aguinaldo as one of the most signi- ficant of the many suspicious acts of that leader during the last month. It is not just known where Aguinaldo is, though Gen. Otis believes that he is still on the island of Luzon on which Manila is situated. Among his fol-
 lowers in Manila it was given out that he withdrew to the interior because he feared assassination, but Gen. Otis is said to be of the opinion that Aguinaldo has some other purpose in view and perhaps is really collecting his forces for demonstration hostile to the United States

FROM "GALLows TO HEAVEN"

Last week a negro named Jas. Brown was hung at Kansas City, Mo-, for the murder of Henry Prather. On the gallows he had his colorod preacher say: ''He wants me to say for him that he is now soldier of Jesus Christ and that he hopes you may be so you will never be brought to where he is and that he will meet you in heaven. And he is reported to have said for himself: 'I want to tell you people that have faith in the Lord and that he will care for me-"
 The paper speaking of the mur- derer says:
 Friends he had none. His Bible and his pipe were his only friends and com i fort CTS He seemed as indifferent con corning his wife and children as they were about him, and when asked about them would invariably say: II don't know when they will come to see me, in tone of voice that indi- cated he did not care. ''Ihese are my friends" he would say, tapping the Bible and his pipe. Browns life was as worthless and of as little conse- qnence to the public as homeless yei- low dog.
 It is quite possible that there are some pretty good people on this earth who would not care to accept his invitation to "meet him in heaven" Possible that there arc those who do not believe that a brute of d murderer can go di- rect from the gallows to heaven Ijust because he has been given time in prison to make a profes- sion of religion, while hls victim, killed without any warning or time to prepare, has according to this religious logic, gone to the other place.
 1t rather occurs to us that a man who has no friends, who has no love or care for his wife and children, who has no higher con- ception of propriety than to place his pipe beside his Bible as a ''friend," should go through long siege of Immigration in purgatory before beng admitted into the SO ciety of the elect in heaven.

GREENE WOULD WORK THEM.

"Get the Cubans to work as prompt ly as possible and pay them fair amount from the revenue of the island for their. services" This is the advice Major General Francis V. Greene gave the War department as one of the quickest and best means of re-estab. fishing peace and order or the island. Kansas City Star.
 That is an excellent suggestion. Work at q fair compensation Is a great hamonizer and preventive of discontent and attending evils.
 In vlew of these facts why would not the plan advised by General Greene prove very satls- factory in some portions of our country at certain seasons when our workmen are out of employ ment and becoming discontented z If it is a good thing for Cubans in Cuba why not equally as good for Americans in the United States!
 The demand for good roads is almost universal and they are needed in every county in every state in the Union. Lcvees are needed to be built and repaired along water courses in several southern states, and postoffice buildings are needed in every town of ten thousand inhabitants in the country. The building of good roads, leyces and public buildings would give employment to all who want work, and by stimulat- ing production would encourage private enterprises and furnish an abundance of employment for everybody. These Improvements would make the entire country richer and constant employment would keep all working men con tented and happy.
 By all means set the idle Cubans at work and pay them fair wages from the public revenues and then try the same plan with our own idle men and sec if we do not have more prosperity and contentment and a better condition of society.

We are In receipt of circular issued by the agricultural depart ment of this state showing the result of experiments made to determine the comparative value of raising pork and beef instead of cotton, at the present low prices. The circular seeks to show that the raising of pork and beef, par tlcularly pork, in this state, is the change our cotton farmers should adopt for quick and profitable re- turns, also as a means of improv- lng the worn out cotten lands.

MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP.

Pennsylvania contains two cities, Harrisono burg and Erie, that derive large incomes from the municipal ownership of water works. The latter place has profted $40, 900 within the last eighteen months from it's enter prise. and the state capital realizes equally as well.
 The foregoing from the Kansas City Journal shows the advantages accruing from municipal owner ship of public utilities. This is now becoming the popular thing and it is right.

Kansas City boasts that it is to have new factory, one that will make handles for all kinds of farm and mining tools, also double-trees and single-trces and neck yokes for wagons. Oak and hickory will be the principal ma terial used, and these facts remind Us that right here in Mena is the proper place for such factory. In the woods adjacent is to be found the best of oak and hickory in great abundance and 1t would seem that where the material is abundant is where such factory should be located.

Woman'S Advancement.

From the Kansas City Journal.
 The large number of women stu dents enrolled in the graduate depart ment of Yale at the present time calls attention to a feature of academic life which is assuming larger proportions every year. It was in 1892, that the corporation of Yale decided to open its graduate department to bachelors of art without distinction of sex. The official catalogue of the present year has not yet been published. but 1t is known that there are about forty women students at Yale; and there are not lacking those who claim that it would be impossible to find among the 2,500 members of the university forty students who contribute more to the real scholarship of the institution and who are regarded with greater respect by the professors under whose instruc- tion they come.
