The Yellow Streak, driven to desper-
alton by the fact that the Republicans of
the county and particularly the country
Republicans have indicated by their acts
that they will have nothing to do with
crowd of persons who have for years
vainly attempted to get control of poll.
tics in Highland county so that the
Offices could be used to their personal
advantage and the taxpayers robbed at
every turn, loses its head and exhibits
it's sores again to the few who happen to
see it. The Yellow Streak crowd have
for years been pouring out their abuse
on the country Republicans because they
have stood by the regular organization
and the straight ticket and when they
refuse t. take up with blackguard
sheet that at all times is under the con-
troll of the Democrats their indignation
and venom know no bounds and they
publish miserable lie concerning the
position of the regular organization to.
wards the Republicans who live in the
country. 1t falls by its own weight and
is an insult to the 60, d sense of every
country Republican in Highland county.
Haven't they stood by the straight
ticket all the time and been the support
Of the regular organization in it's efforts
to keep Democrats out of Office? An in
stance can not be pointed out where q
Republican ticket or Republican in the
county has been defeated by country
Republicans, and when small gang of
political cut-throats who have not sup
ported q straight Republican ticket for
years attempt to cast reflections on the
Republicans OF this county who live out
side the towns by Understanding their
intelligence they will fail 40 signally as
they have in the past when they at.
tempted to get these Republicans to vote
the Democratic ticket. 1t is the old
story of shysters pouring out their vile
ness against their superiors and then
when they find their game has failed to
accuse others of doing what they en-
gagged in themselves. The country Re.
publicans stand by Republicans and be
lieve when Republican ticket is nomi-
mated that the factional fight should end.
They will not countenance or support
class of socalled Republicans who seek
to hang onto the edges of the party
hopeing to secure information of value
to deliver to the Democrats who control
them. A stalwart young Republican of
Paint township sized up the situation
completely when, after reading one of
the free copies that had been sent QUITO
his locality, he said: "That rot will not
go down among the country people. We
know who are the Republicans of High
land countp and can not be fooled. The
Republicans in the country vote for
principle and don't need any instruc-
tions. We are able to take care of our.
selves and surely would not be migrate
full enough 10 accept the charity of
relative and oppose him while we con-
tinued to wear his clothes"

CURTIS LAW WORKING WELL.
Cannot Confer Territorial Govern
ment For Some Years.
STATEHOOD FOR OKLAHOMA.

Topeka, Nov. 1l.-Thomas Ryan,
first assistant secretary of the interior,
is making his annual fall visit at his
Topeka home.
All work in the Interior department
relating to Indian affairs falls upon
Mr.. Ryan. He says that the Curtis
law is working we'll and that 1t will
soon straighten out the chaotic condi-
ton of affairs in the Indian Territory.
Mr.. Ryan says the scheme to give the
Indian Territory territorial govern
ment is preposterous at this time.
Several of the tribes in the nation
have already signed the treaty OF the
Dawes commission and there is every
reason to believe that the others will,
said he. "That treaty permits the In
dams to maintain their present forms
of government for eight more years.
The land in the territory all belongs to
the Indians. There is no government
land there. Before it can be given a
territorial form of government, the
land must be divided among the In
dams in severalty and the titles to the
property perfected. So it can be seen
that Congress cannot confer terrNori-
al form of government for some years
vet. However, start had to be made
some time in order ultimately to get
the territory into the Union, and the
Curtis law was enacted"
GLOW about statehood for Okla
homa?' was asked.
"That is matter for Congress to
handle" said he. Personally, | would
like to see action on it deferred until
Oklahoma and the Indian Territory
could be admitted as one big state.
Many Oklahomans feel the same way.
But others there want statehood be-
fore affairs in the Indian nation can be
adjusted SO that it can be taken in.
The people of the Indian country are
not particularly anxious to be annexed
to Oklahoma for statehood purposes.
Many of them want the Indian Terri
tory made a state by itself"

taken. The legislature is democratic

Sir Millions for Standing Trees.

Ashland, Wis, Nov. s.-Fredericlx
Weyerhauser, of Chippewa Falls, the
greatest lumber man in Wisconsin and
Minnesota, is closing the purchase OF
1000, 900 acres of lumber lands from
the Northern Pacific company. This
timber is located on the Pacific coast.
The price paid for this timber is Sc, Uo0,-
900.
This is the largest timber deal ever
closed by a single individual in the his
tory of the numbering and logging in
dustry. In speaking of the deal Mr..
Weyerhauser says that it is simply an
investment. He believes the timber is
bound to advance out in the western
country and that he will realize a
handsome profit.

STAMPEDE TO MOUNTAINS.
Aguinaldo Has a Yacht Secreted
For His Escape,
SUCCESS ON NORTH COAST.

| Manila, Nov, 13.-Wheaton did lant
at SIN Fabian as directed and drove
bulk of enemy back in desired direction
towards Dagupan. Operations success
full in every particular.
Thr landing of the American troops
was the most spectacular affair of Its
kind since General Skaters disem-
barkation at Daiquiri. The co-opera'
ton of the troops and the navy was
complete. The gunboats maintained a
terrific bombardment for an hour while
the troops rushed waist deep through
the surf, under a heavy but badly
aimed rifle fire from the insurgent
trenches, and charged right and left,
pouring volley after volley at the
fleeing rebels. Forty Filipinos were
captured, mostly non-commissioned
officers.
The inhabitants describe all the
roads as practically impossible and say
they believe Aguinaldo has secreted a
yacht in the river Longapo; near Subig,
for use in his flight when he finds his
capture is inevitable.
Twenty-eight Spanish prisoners were
rescued
The Highlands are cool and the
health of the troops is good. General
Young has captured another large share
of insurgent ammunition and NUM-
lions of war which they were obliged
to leave in their hurried retreat.
General Young captured considerable
additional Cubanatuan arsenal proper
ty in transit north, among which 144
2-inch and twenty-five boxes 1.65-inch
ammunition for Hotchkiss guns: fifty
proiectiles for and s-inch breech-load-
ing rife cannon, two boxes grenades,
considerable other ordnance property,
two tons casting and arsenal
machinery in parts. He is meeting
with opposition but advance is not
much impeded thereby.
Major Bell, Thirty-sixth, with five of
his officers and two privates of his reg
iment, mounted, and one officer and
ten men Fourth cavalry, struck 100 in
surgents in mountains west of Mabala-
cat, charged killing and wounding
nineteen, captured six and thirty Maui
ser rifles.
The most interesting feature of the
new situation is that Aguinaldo has
been forced out of the Tagalo country
to where the mountains are filed with
Negrotes and other savage tribes.

MAYG|VE GUATEMALAPEACE.
Counting Foreign Capital Which
Would bring Foreign Protection
MILLIONS AT ONE PER CENT.

San Francisco, Nov. 13.-Thc Even
ing Post states that syndicate OF
American, English and German bank
ers has about perfected arrangements
with the government of Guatemala to
advance to that country 1900, 900, re-
lieving it of its debts and placing the
country on a firm financial basis. I'm
der the terms of the agreement, the
money will be loaned for term OF
twenty-five or fifty years, and will
draw interest at per cent. In addi-
ton, the syndicate will be allowed to
control certain percentage of the GUS
toms receipts of the different ports.
1t is believed by those interested
that this loan will have the effect of
ending the numerous internal revolu-
tions which have threatened to disrupt
the country. There will be so much
american, English and German capital
involved in the country that the three
bowers will necessarily be called upon
to protect their interests, and it is be-
lieved the presence of a fleet of foreign
warships will SO overawc the revolu1
tionists that the evils resulting there
from will be obviated.

Moro About the Rock Island.

Topeka, Nov 1O.-W. E. Dauchy chief
engineer of the Rock Island, with
headquarters in Chicago, is visiting the
west lines of that system.
While in Topeka, Mr.. Dauchy said
''The Rock Island road is in excellent
shape We are making changes and
improvements, incident to the natural
wear and tear, and are doing every
thing to better the already excellent
service of the road. Already we have
put in several iron bridges in place OF
old wooden structures which have been
taken out. We have also others in
view, which will be changed as soon as
we can get around to them.
eve expect to visit the new line,
the Enid-Tonkawa road, which the
Rock Island is building in Indian Ter
ritory, and which we hope to have fin
ished and the last station located by
the latter part of this week. We shall
inspect some of the new improvements
and look over other places where we in
tend to make changes The trip will
probably consume the greater part OF
this week. We have no radical chan
gcs in view"

PINE TIMBER DESTROYED.
Worms XIII Ono Hundred And Fifty
Square Miles OF 1t.

Deadwood, S. d., Nov. 13.-Black
Hills people are becoming alarmed at
the destruction of the pine timber by a
small worm that made it's appearance
here about two years ago. The wor,1
is about three-quarters of an inch long
and quarter of an inch through, and
travels in packs. The worms start in
on the outer bark of tree, bore in
and drink the sap, and the tree soon
dies. Government Inspector G. A.
Steele has recently investigated the
matter, and finds that $50 square miles
of the finest pine timber in the Hills
has been destroyed by the pest

THAT SECRET TREATY MYTH.
1t Would be nm Impossibility Undor Our
Constitution.

~
Constitution.
Washington, Nov. 13.-The latest re
port from London, to the effect that
secret treaty between Great Britain
and the United States and China ha'
been arranged to preserve the integ'
rity of China and maintain the 'open
door," is denied most positively hero
by no less an authority than the Sccre'
tary of State.
"There is not word of truth in it,
said Mr.. Hay. "Under our constitu'
ton there would be no validity in such
an arrangement. A secret treaty with
foreign government, except a modus
vivendi, which is merely temporary
and provisional, and is always made
public, is impossible. To be binding
a treaty must be ratified by the Senate.
You cannot exaggerate the impossibili-
ty of such thing"
The only official interest the United
States has in the partition of China is
in preserving American trade rights in
that country. This government does
not care to be party to the dismem-
berment of China, although there is
ample reason to suppose that continent
tai powers would be only too glad to
assist the United States in obtaining
actual possession of some Chinese terri
tory, thus securing practical indorse!
ment of their partition scheme and
getting rid of the bugaboo of American
interference in the plans for. dismem'
berment.

Voting Machine Used,

Buffalo, N. Y, Nov. 9.-The standard
voting machine was used in this city
for the first time, and accomplished all
that was expected of it. The result in
the city was known As minutes after
the polls closed on the head of the
ticket, which was computed first. The
Republicans made a clean sweep, elect
ing the city treasurer and other city
officers by majorities ranging from
1000 to 5000. The Republicans also
elect their entire councilmen ticket,
giving them seven members and the

Chicago, Nov. 9-Southern railroad
lieve that Cuba this winter will be
formidable rival of California and Mex
leo as resort for persons who wish to es
cape cold weather. BY December, they
say thousands of northerners will have
become temporary residents of the reju-
venated island, which largely through
the spirit of American progressiveness
is said to offer more inducements than
formerly.
Within the next two weeks 400 north
4rners, nearly half of whom are
Chicagoans, will leave for Cuba.
Many of the persons who will go to
Cuba in time TO escape the cold will
leave this country with the intention
of remaining permanently on the is
land Railroads are carrying car loads
of furniture, agricultural implements
and machinery to gulf ports for trans
portation to the island These things
are the property of persons who intend
to accept the government Of Cuba.

ADMIRAL DEWEY MARRIED.
A Quiet Wedding in IA Catholic Church.
Special DispensatiOn.

]
Washington, Nov 10.-Mrs. Mildred
Hazen and Admiral George Dewey
were quietly married yesterday at the
rectory of st. Paul's Catholic church,
1925 V street, N. w. The ceremony
was strictly private, and of the simplest
character. The bride was accompanied
by Mrs. Washington Mclean, her
mother, and Mrs. Ludlow, her sister
while Admiral Dewey was accompa-
MED by Lieutenant Caldwell, his aide.
There were no other guests and after
the ceremony the admiral and Mrs.
Dewey entered carriage and were
driven to the residence of Mrs. Wash
ington Mclean, where wedding break
fast was served, and at 1915 they left
for New York.
The arrangements were made with
the same secresy which has attended
the whole affair.
As Admiral Dewey is not a Catholic,
special dispensation was required for
the performance of the ceremony and
this was procured by Father Mackin
from Bishop Curtis, vicar general OF
the diocese of Baltimore, who granted
it in the absence of Cardinal Gibbons.

FIGURING ON CUBA'S FUTURE.
General Brooke VIII Not BE Governor
Long.

Long.
Washington, Nov 13.-The presi-
dents desire is to have Cuban self-gov-
crnment in operation at once so that
congress may be enabled to observe its
practical workings, and be aided there
by to frame laws for the permanent
government of the island. In any
event, the end of Brooke's term as gov
ernor general is close at hand. The
department commanders will remain
for while, to be ultimately super
seeded by civil governors, if the plan
works well, but the governor general
will go. Nor is there any prospect
that Brooke will exchange the govern
or generalship for the position OF civil
governor. That officer, it is under
stood, will be either General Ludlow,
General Wood or General Wilson.
General Fitzhugh Lee is also advocated
for the post. After the appointment
of the civil governor portion OF the
army will be withdrawn, but how
large portion has not been decided
upon. If Cuba does get self-govern-
ment it will be mainly due to Secre'
tary Root. He has urged the substitu'
ton of civil for military government
ever since he entered the cabinet and
has been the prime mover in the cause
of self-government.

Washington, Nov. lit is said that
the insurgent capital will be shifted to
Boambang and the efforts of the Amer
lean military forces will be directed
toward that point. 1t is in the noun
famous country of the north and ap-
parently out of the fertile and populous
regions where Aguinaldo has thus far
conducted his operations. 1t is said to
be accessible from the south by only
one route, along a river which is a
branch of the Rio Grande. This leaves
the rebel leader literally no opportuni-
ty of communicating with the coast or
getting supplies. He has also left the
railroad behind. 1t is said at the war
department that the columns of Cen
eral Young and General Wheaton will
push on to the north, following up the
lnsurgent leader and his scattered
hands
