TRANSPORTATION is Lively.

From Green Bay Gazette.
The Green Bay & Western road like
other transportation lines, is exper-
fencing great difficulty in securing
cars for the transaction of it's business.
1T is simply impossible to get cars
from any source; said Supt. Seymour.
There is such a demand for cars
from every direction that the supply
is not great enough to meet it. Our
chief difficulty is in getting cars for
grain. To furnish enough cars to get
grain in and out Of Green Bay seems
impossible.
''There is not such d congestion in
other lines of freight, though the de-
mand for cars is great

Many people believe that horses do

that on several occasions they will
shed tears as well as express sorrow In
the most heartbreaking manner. In
the west, where the hardness of the
ponies causes the riders to almost over
look the necessity of providing for their
needs, Ii Is quite common when the
weather Is extremely cold to leave an
unblanketed pony tied up for two or
three hours when the temperature Is
nearly zero and while its owner is
transacting business or getting drunk.
In this case the suffering is evidenced
by the cries, which are almost like
sobs. and unmistakable tears freeze on
to the cheeks like icicles.
When a horse falls In the street and
gets injured, the shock generally numbs
the senses so much that it does not ell
ther cry or groan, but under some con-
ditions an injured horse will solicit
sympathy In the most distinct manner.

which trod on a nail long enough to
pierce its foot. The poor thing hob
bled up to me on three legs and cried
as nearly like a child In trouble as any
thing | can describe. The sight was a
very touching one, as was also the Grip
pied animals gratitude when the nail
was pulled out and the wound dressed.

Notwithstanding the spread of edu-
cation in Galicia, superstition is still
alive among the Polish peasantry. The
wife of well to do country man in
Nieporenta. Kaspar Kafka, had ma
lignant ulcer and was in very dan
gerous state. Her husband decided to
call in a shepherd renowned for his
wonderful healing powers.
The latter, having examined his pa
tient, proceeded to tie her left elbow
to her right knee and her left knee to
her right elbow, announced that she
was possessed with devil and direct
ed them to anoint the ulcer with a
mixture of soft soap and 10 chopped
hairs from horses tail. If the pa
tient screamed, it was the devil
screaming within her, and she was to
be left alone, securely bound to the
bed, that she might not remove the
appliance. He then took his fee and
left.
His orders were conscientiously car
ried out, with the result that after a
night of indescribable agony the poor
woman died of Xhaustion.-Cracow

CHARLES II. TANEy, GENERAL MANAGER
THE TRUTH ABOUT AGUINALDO.

THE TRUTH ABOUT AGUINALDO.
What the American people want to
know is the truth and the whole truth
concerning the Filipinos and their lead
er. Fair play is an inherent American
trait and cannot be smothered by the
organs of the administration, who
choose to cry traitor" at every honest
and patriotic American who does not
subscribe to the Wall street imperial
policy of the administration polite
ians.
Long ago Admiral Dewey told offic-
ialdom at Washington the truth that
the Filipinos were more fitted for self
government than the Cubans to whom
we proposed to give it with one hand,
while with the other we took it away
from the FilipinOs.
In Public Document No. 81, embrace
ing the official text of the Spanish
treaty and accompanying papers, secret
correspondence, etc, is Dewey's dis
patch of June %, 1898, reciting the ca
pacity of the Filipinos for self-govern-
ment. At later date on August 20,
1898, several weeks after the signing of
the protocol and when the Presidents
future policy was already under con-
sideration, Admiral Dewey took special
pains to again remind the administra-
ton of his views. He telegraphed on
that date:
The populati of Luzon is reported to
be something over 3,0000 900, mostly natives.
These are gentle, docile, and under Just
laws, and with the benefits of popular edu-
cation, would soon make good citizens.
In a telegram sent to the department on
June %, l expressed the opinion that
'these people are far superior in their
intelligence and more capable of self
government than the natives of Cuba
and l am familiar with both races" Fur
Their intercourse with them has confirmed
me in this opinion.
There is no doubt that Admiral
Dewey is opposed to annexation. In
fact, Mr.. Kohlsaat, of the Chicago
Tmes-Herald, a Republican, has de-
clared that he has "the highest authori-
ty" for stating that that is Dewey's
position.
Now, as to whether Aguinaldo was
of assistance to the Americans against
the Spanish, the administration and its
