John H. Kelley, an old-time pros

ing. He was recently employed by
2. N. Silve Of Golconda and put to
work on his mining claims in the
Granite Greek district. About ten
days ago Kelley started out on horse
back to go to Silve's place, six miles
distant, to get some food for the
camp. Since that time neither Kel-
ley nor the horse has been seen.
Search has been made for him with

and had no food with him and it is
feared that he was taken jill, got off of
his horse and died in the open coun-

thinks the islands will supply the Uni
ted States with just the sort of tropi-
cal area we, need. The islands he con-
siders perhaps the richest region in
natural resources on the globe. What
is required is the energy and science
of an advanced race to develop them.
Already they have figured valuahly id
the worlds commerce, having almost
a monopoly of the hemp product and
being renowned for their peculiar to-
bacco. The secretary surmises that
the daily wealth of the islands may 10

great extent of upland should furnish
plenty of grazing surface.
He is confident that General Otis.
with the achievements now being
hurried out to him. will crush the in.
surrection. He has harsh, condemns

tic hordes of semi-savages to wreak
their revenge and covetousness and

American Rule in Cuba.

Des Moines Capital: If peace did not
reign in Cuba and if progress We're not
being made there, the opposition would
be unanimously demanding the with
drawal of the American forces, but the
American government in Cuba is
growing in popularity. The robbery
by the Spanish in the Pearl sof the
Antilles is at an end; the Cuban sol
diers have given up their arms; farms
are being TILED; crops grown, and the
Cubans are realizing that they are in
honest hands. lhey have gone to
work. Had it not been for the agita-
tors in America, there would be peace
in the Philippines and those rich ISL
ands would be on the way to unlimited
prosperity. If the world wants to see
what America would do for the Phil
ippines, the world, can simply look a I
cuba. Her harbors have been dredged;
boat landings improved; the COWS have
been taken out of the rear ends of the
houses; butchering is no longer allow
ed in the middle of the principal
streets; the streets and sidewalks have
been swept; rubbish has been burned
and filth everywhere removed; cleanli-
ness has succeeded sloth; and the yell
low fever is unheard of on the island
that has been infested with it for a
hundred years. Do the necessities of
an American political party require
that an American hand shall be with
held from doing these good things also
in the Philippines?

THE HEACoCK CASE.

IA special to the Courier Monday
stated that the son and brother-in-law
of c. c. Heacock, the editor of the
Brighton Enterprise, who is now in
Jail charged with libel, had been also
>'it in Jail charged with republishing
the same libel. Heaceck's offense was
that he charged certain witness with
perjury before a grand jury. For this
he was fined 5000, which he paid. At
forwards he republished the same
charge and was sent to Jail for six
months. In last Saturdays edition of
the Enterprise appeared "a Brief
Statement of the Heacock Case" set
ting forth its history. The result of
the publication of this statement was
'chronicled in Mondays dispatch to
the Courier.
Heacock seems to have the conf
dence of his townsmen for since his
conviction they have elected him
mayor of Brighton, and the town coun-
Gil is said to have passed resolutions
endorsing him. The Gazette, rival
paper at Brighton, also upheld Hea-
cock. On July he was nominated
for governor of Iowas by the United
Christian party in session at Des
Moines. f
The case is certainly extremely in
iteresting and the outcome will be
closely watched by the people of the
state.

oh, mr.. ST. John!

Sioux City Journal: Lieuten-
ant Commander ST. John, OF
the British cruiser Peacock, will be
given chance to do little explain
ing as a result of having talked too
much. That officer recently INDUCED
in some criticisms of Gen. Otis and
the Philippine campaign that were eX-
ceedingly offensive to all but the ants,
who have been using them as ar
guments against the continuance of the
war. ST. John is reported to have said
that the incompetence of Otis had cost
5000 lives in the Philippines. and also
to have expressed confidence that even
tually Great Britain would take over
the islands. As less than 800 lives OF
American soldiers have been lost from
all causes in Luzon, the extravaganza
of the statements of this indiscreet Of
ficer may be easily realized. 1t is I'M
derstood the state department has
brought the matter to the attention OF
the British embassy and has been
given assurances that lieutenant Com
mander st. John will be called upon for
an explanation. In view of the recent
series of yellow interviews that have
been disproved.fit. will not do to as
sumo that the statements in this case
have been anoted correctly until the
officer in question has failed to dis
avow them. Evess If not disavowed the
incident will have little diplomatic inn
portance. A reprimand from the Brit
ish government will undoubtedly fol-
low. and Lieut.. st. John will be added
to the list of those who have talked
neither wisely nor well.

PLEASED WITH THE WEST.
Secretary Wilson Returns From a Tour
of Inspection.

Chicago, Aug. 16.-Secretary of Agri-
culture James Wilson was interviewed
here while on his way back to WASH
ington from his western trip. He has
been in Iowa, his, home state, and up
and down, the Pacific coast. He, re-
ports great prosperity everywhere and
regards his, trip as, highly. successful.
everywhere he has looked into, the ag-
ricultural needs and possibilities of the
localities he has visited. AS a scien-
titic agriculturist he has seen with the
trained eye and been able to draw the
right conclusion. He is impressed
with the agricultural possibilities Of
the west, not the least with those of
the regions considered semi-arid and
which will require irrigation to devel-
OPP them.
One of his pet schemes has been tea
culture in the United States. This
project he has nursed in his own mind
for many years. The department has
been developing, the plants at Wash
ington city in great quantities and it
proposes to distribute in favorable To-
calities some 14,000,000 shrubs. 1T is
the hope of the secretary that some
soils and climates will be found favor
able to the culture.
The secretary inspected lands in
Washington and Oregon, that have
been overgrazed by cattle and neg
lected to such a degree that now they
are practically desert. 1t is his desire
to see these regrassed. The. depart
ment has two experimental garden
spots in Washington, one at Yakima,
in which various grasses, both foreign
and domestic, are being propagated.
Secretary Wilson learned something
of the agricultural condition OF the
Philippines while on the coast. He is

Cleveland strikers, Cause i. Just.
From Gunton's Magazine for August.

From Gnnton's Magazine for August.
In the Cleveland strike the case is
very clear. The corporation bsoluteiy
refused to recognize the right Of the
men to act in its organized capacity
in dealing with the company, while OF
course the company insisted upon act
ing in its organized capacity in dealing
with the laborers. This attitude is a
relic of the last century and is dis
creditable to the sense, public spirit
and common fairness of American cor
porations. Any corporation, especially
a quasi-public corporation, which has
a strike for such an utterly unjustifi-
able reason should be held severely re-
sponsible for the outcome, whatever it
may be. Moreover, according to fhe
latest information, the Cleveland rail-
road company made certain definite
promises a short time ago, on condi-
ton of which a strike was ended and
the men resumed work. 1t appears
that the company acted in bad faith,
did nothing towards carrying out its
promises, and hence the second strike.
OF course the city will bring out its
police and the state its militia, and
suppress riotous disturbances, but the
police in IFS collective Legislative ca-
pacity ought to and will deal with cor
porations which deny the laborers'
common right to do what the corpora
lions do themselves, and then act in
bad faith in their agreements with en-
ployes.

the terms of payment are eNtraordi-
narily easy. In buying lot one is not
takino "a serious burden Upon himself
1t is the opinion of the best business
men of the city that these lots will
shortly be in great demand. Already
ground has been broken for the first
ouse and others win doubtless be be-
gun in a few days. With the increased
-,-nulation which will result from the
establishment of the Dain factory
here. homes for workingmen will be an
absolute necessity. Nearly every avail
able house in the city is already occu-
pied; when the Dain plant comes we
shall have to have more dwellings.
The logical location for these will be
on the lots adjacent to the plant itself
These are the lots that are now offer
ed for sale by the Dain addition asso-
citation. Buy one, and do yourself and
the CITY commendable service.

Two Works OF Art.

Burlington Hawkeye: The resolution
drafted by Mr.. Hedge on national ex-
pansion and the one by Mr.. Clark on
trusts, ar adopted by the Iowa repub-
liean state convention, are so terse and
yet so comprehensive, that some peo-
pie fail to grasp the full scope of their
meaning. There is not surplus word
in either resolution and yet every es-
sential is there. 1t is not often that
party declarations are made so concise
and pertinent as these two models of
political wisdom. If anybody thinks
differently let him take the dictionary
and add some more words. He will inn
prove neither the phraseology nor the
spirit of state-craft. The art of saying
much in a few words is-an art.

FARMERS BUYING LOTS.

The farmers of Wapello county have
begun to, buy lots in the iDain addi-
ton. andit is said that this week will
see the purchase OF several more by
parties living in the country. This is
right. The farmers realize that what
is benefit to their county seat is a
benefit to them. They want to see OF
tumWa grow and prosper, and they
know that the best way to bring this
about is 10 get manufacturing institu-
lions to come to this city. They do not
want to see the Dain project fail, and
knowing that they can help it, at no
loss to themselves, by buying lot,
have done So. In return they, will get
an increased market for their produce,
and help make, Ottumwa the greatest
distributing point for agricultural
products in the west. $50 ~ 4,

not bought lots might profit by the iex-

Mnscatine Journal: Rebok, the
wild-eyed editor Of a populist paper in
lama county, recently made a furious
attack on Gov. Shaw because of his re-
ply to the letter of a. labor leader at
San Francisco rejecting on the char
,acter of the average Iowa soldier. Re-
hok is tryingttto get even with the
governor because he was turned down
when he presented numerously signed
petition asking that he be the demo-
cratic member of the board of control
The result shows that the governor
was right in rejecting this man and in
taking Judge Kline, though the latter
was not recommended as was Rebok
by petition signed by persons whose
names he had personally solicited.

FIRST ANNIVERSARY.

a year ago. Sunday, August 10,
Manila, after short land fight and a
commandment by the fleet, was sur
rendered to the American forces. In
the 365 days that have elapsed since
the stars and stripes were first hoisted
on her ramparts, the city of Manila
has made more progress than in all the
years. the red and yellow standard of
Spain cast its shadow on her walls.
although Manila, in consequence OF
her dominant position as the chief
part sof the islands, has, in spite Of
Spanish misrule, long lorded it over
the Philippines, it may be truthfully
said that she was born again when
the American soldiers first set foot up
on her payements. She now comes for
ward. under the leadership of Yankee
enterprise, to take her place among
the chief commercial cities of the east.
New and modern steamship lines will
soon shorten the distance between her
wharves and the harbors of San Fran
cisco and New York; and
before many years have pass
ed trans-Pacitic cables will place
her in direct communication
with the markets of America. A great
trade Will spring up between this coun-
try and the part of the earth CONNER
cially dominated by this East Indian
metropolis.
Leaving out of consideration all such
things as the sanitary and govern
mental benefits which American rule
will confer upon Manila, it may be
easily seen how much the raising of
The stars and stripes has meant to her
in commercial way. And the bene-
fit is not all on one side. In direct
ratio 10. the building up and improving
Of the Philippines will our own trade
prosper and increase until we shall
stand forth as the mightiest commer-
cial country of the world. Thus has
Manila. in surrendering to the guns of
the American army. not only done
much for herself and the United States,
but has also added an. argument to
the many already pointed put in favor
of expansion.
