A WESTERN AMERICAN.

When Richard Oglesby's Illinois neighbors wanted to speak os him they had their pick of a string of titles all sonorous and all his by right They remembered this only on cere- monial occasions, and not always then. At other times they called him Dick Oglesby, or-much oftener-just Uncle Dick.
 He was one of the big, se-jointed, bellows-lunged country lads who crossed over from the Kentucky side Of the river in times that to our young CT readers seem prehistoric, and helped make the Illinois of today. Abraham Lincoln, his good friend for many years, was another Of them. Like Lincoln, the boy Oglesby had to scram- ble up in life as best he could. He worked on the farm, he learned the carpenters trade, he learned the art and mystery of rope making, and final ly he learned just enough of law to meet the requirements of a very easy going bar and of clients who attached more importance to other things than to the erudition of the text books His mother wit, his hearty, jolly manner, his stories, his jokes, and his mighty voice stood him in good stead at that time, as later in politics. 50 did a natural gift for one of the two kinds of instrumental music then popular in Illinois. His fiddle went with him to the court room. It accompanied him for years on his stumping tours; it counted for a good deal in his early successes.
 He was as self indulgent in one way

as freddy" Roosevelt He couldn't deny himself the joy of battle. He threw up his law practice to make the Mexican campaign. and he resigned legislative honors to go to the front in 1861. The wound he got at Corinth nearly killed him, but twith other things) it made him a major general, governor of Illinois and senator of the United States. After trying the two civil offices he decided that the gov- ernorShip was more to his taste, and characteristically went back to it. Washington did not suit him; Illinois suited him as if it had been made for him.
 Nobody. we fancy, ever thought of Uncle Dick as a statesman; but there have been many worse politicians Hcs never passed for a great orator with critical hearers; but in his time ho was a favorite on the Illinois stump, and was in request for campaign work in states farther east Of late years the country has heard very little of him. They have not been unhappy years for Uncle Dick, however, as i've are glad to learn. One always re- turns to ones first love- says the French provela. The farm was his first love, and it was on the farm among his old Illinois neighbors and friends-that death found the white haired soldier and politician few days ago.

TWO NATURALIZATION STORIES


 A keen witted fellow, despite his general ignorance, was brought down to the court house to receive the rights of citizenship.
 Name the capital of the nation, , said the judge
 The applicant scratched his head. ''I can't just place it, jedge," said he; 'fbut if you'll name a few of the towns and I'll tell you when you strike it''
 ''It it Chicago?" queried the jugde. No"
 ''Is it St. Louis?'
 No"
 ''Is it Indiana?"
 '"No."
 ''Is it Arizona?"
 ''No."
 E'Is it Washington? The candidate looked puzzled. He hesitated.
 Say, judge" he slowly replied, Eff thet ain't the place it's a dunn close shot"
 He got his papers. Another candidate was brought in by well known politician Let me see what you know about geography" said the judge ''Suppos- ing you and Mir Blank walked straight down to the lake and started across it, going due north, where would you land?"
 ''On the bottom said the candidate, promptly
 He got his papers, too.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

The election returns show that the republican majority for Adams in 1897 was so,idly against Monihon last Tuesday. This town is as safely re- publican as it was two years ago. With attractive candidates the repub- licans ought to be in power here al. the time. We are of opinion that two years hence the candidates will be entirely unobjectionable. The les son involved in Monihon's defeat vii not be lost on the party leaders.

WHO KNOWS?

Perchance the spirit. freed from fieshen chains. May doff it's eerements and escape
 the tomb; Perchance may wander while all time remains, Wearily waiting for the day of doom. Released by death from all it's earthly
 Who knows? Perchance the disembodied spirit may Come back among the scenes of care and strife, To learn how useless was it's former way, How little were. the greatest things of life: How very petty were it's many wcss--
 Who knows? Perchance the spirit, when the life is OCT, May sink in apathy so long and deep, Of earth ard heaven, CT hell to know no mere. Til. the last trump shall rouse it from it's sleep, Unconscious while life's current stead fly flows
 Who knows? An! if the spirit may at times return And gaze around with immaterial eyes, Or sightless, senseless, nothing new may learn Until the day for judgment shall arise Seek not to learn; in God your trust repose-

WOULD NOT WANT BOSTON.

There is good reason for suspecting, claims the Boston Globe. that those who are working so eagerly to involve US more deeply in the policy of expan- sion are trying to play the clever role of coaxing and Frightening us into a much coveted Anglc-Anerican alli- ance. Great Britain, however, might hardly be anxious for an alliance that would include Boston. A city that ap- plauds the enemy of the United States as Boston applauds Aguinaldo would
 hardly strengthen fighting alliance

The shooting of two Filipinos by

satisfied the officials That these men
have been giving advice and informa.

advised the Filipinos that the treaty

and that Immediately aflerward often

natives. 1t was also shown that addi
tional troops were now on their way to
augment the forces under General O.is,
and advised that if the natives desired
to secure control OF the Philippines it
would be best to attack the American
troops at once. Il is probable also that
