From The Nebraska state Journal
Professor H.. II. Barbour. Of the state Uni

cursion into Wyoming in as many months AS
n result of his first expedition tho state Museum
has already been enriched by many rare Sp"cl-
mems from the fossil beds some Of them being
entirely new to the scientific world. The protcS-

this week before the National Geological So

short and entirely Informal. but will contain
matter to distress the lover Of natural scenery
the world over
The essence Of the report IS found in the ad-
vice given by Professor Barbour to friend that
a contemplated journey to the National Park
should not be POSTPONED longer than is absolute
~ necessary.
In 1894 the professor visited the park, making
a thorough study of its principal features and

She Waske ed Her Hair.

If you observed closely a certain pref

a certain day last week, you may have
noticed that her hair under the fetching
hat had a strange look, an oddly di-
sheveled appearance, but l don't believe
YOU ever guessed how narrowly that
bridal procession missed being one maid
short. The young woman we are speak
ing of has uncommonly pretty hair, and
in order that it might be fluffy and
silky and soft for the wedding she
washed it the day before. 1t is her Gus
tom to drop handful Of b0raX into

He Returned the Compliment.

A young man and a young woman
are leaning over the front gate. They
are lovers. 1t is moonlight. He is loath
to leave, as the parting is the last. He
is about to go away. She is reluctant to
see him depart. They swing on the
gate.
"I'll never forget you,' he says,
"and if death should claim me, my last
thought will be of you
"I'll be true to you" she sobs. ''I'll
never see anybody else or love them as
long as live"
They parted. Six years later he re-
turns. His sweetheart of former years
has married. They meet at party.
She has changed greatly. Between the
dances the recognition takes place.

fan beating tattoo on her pretty hand,

"Knotty" History.

Tying knots in handkerchief to jog
ones memory had its origin in China
thousands of years ago. Before writing
was invented in that country, which
did not happen until 5000 B. c., memo
rable and important events were record
ed by long knotted cords. The most an
cient history of China is still preserved
as told by these knots.
When Emperor Tschang Ri invented
writing, the entire system Of ''knot-
ting was abandoned And today the
memory knots made by us in handker-
chiefs are the only surviving descend
ants Of that ancient custom.

PRIVATE MARSHALL
HOME AGAIN.

Private Alfred A. Marshall IS the
only one of the boys whom White Pine
sent to the war who has thus far re-
turned to the county from which he
enlisted. He arrived here on the stage
from Cherry Creek last Thursday even-
ing. The welcome which he met from
his former friends was hearty and sin
cere, and In the evening he was ten
dored an informal banquet at Munro's
hotel, at which about twenty-five plates
were set. The tables were laden with
good things to eat and plenty of wine
to wash them down, to which the ban
queters did ample justice.
Hon. Frank Paul spoke briefly, well
coming Mr.. Marshall home, after which
numerous toasts we're proposed and
drunk with . hearty good will. The
guest of the evening responded to a call
for speech, and spoke most entertain
ingly of the experiences of the Troop
In the Philippines. He was most en-
thusiastic in his praise OF Capt. Linscott,
through whose efforts, he said, the
Troop was the best drilled on the island,
they were always the FIRST at their
posts and were known by the regulars
as the "West Point Cadets. Mr..
Marshall has come home an ardent ex-
pansionist and believes that a govern
ment under the Stars and Stripes will
be blessing to the islands and profit
able investment for the United States.
One OF the pleasantest features OF the
programme was duet, "Just as the
Sun Went Down., sung by the Misses
Josie and Hazel Wade, whose voices
are remarkable for their sweetness, and
show careful training. Songs by H.
Jacobson, C. Stanley, J. LeMaster Joe
Wade and others were much appreciat'
cd and added greatly to the pleasure OF
| the occasion.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.-General
Otis to-day reports the situation in the
Philippines in the following dispatch to
the War Department:
MANILA, Nov. 27.--The steamer
San Fabian yesterday brought l15
Spanish prisoners, s75, 900 worth of in
surgent government and other prop
erty captured by Lawton's troops near
Taug, on the 25th. Wheaton's troops
and Fowler's company, the 33rd, drove
the enemy westward from Mangalaren,
few miles southwest Of Dagupan, and
captured five three-inch muzzle loading
guns, twelve rifles, 1900 rounds of
Maxim cartridges, 1000 shrapnel, 800
pounds of powder and other property,
also ninety-four Spanish and seven
American prisoners.
Young is still in pursuit OF Agninal-
do, who is heading for Bangued a few
miles east of Yigan. Young's reception
by the inhabitants is very enthusiastic,
they give him all aid possible. Aguin-
aldo has collected more than one thou
sand of his troops at the north. Prob
ably the most of them will desert him.
A number of small dstachments of in
surgent troops throughout the country
north OF Manita, have been captured
and the inhabitants manifest their graf
itude for deliverance. Indications are
that the insurgent force south of Manila
is disintegrating and the troops going
to their homes. >
Later in the day the following dis
patch was received from Gen. Otis.
"The Oregon landed marines at Vi
gan yesterday. Youngs was at Ma
inogpacan, twenty miles north of San
point he passed north into the noun
tains. The bulk OF Spanish and Amer
lean prisoners is reported at Bangued,
twenty miles east of Vigan. Wheaton,
at San Fabian, just reports the capture
of seventy-three more rifles and $l100
in money, also that he has been obliged
to take the mother and son OF Aguin-
aldo under guard at Fabian to prevent
their murder by natives. They will be
sent here at the first opportunity and
delivered to friends. The natives in the
vicinity OF Bayonbong and Neuva Vis-
caya are offering their services to drive
out insurgents there. Aguinaldo's
youngest child who was recently christ
ened at Tarlac with great ceremony,
died and was buried at Dayamban In
Aguinaldos flight.
"Reports from Zamboanga state that
the insurgents have surrendered their
heavy artillery to the navy and since
have surrendered to Nichols, command
ing battalion of 23rd infantry, 17e
rifles, one Nordenfeldt and four breach
loading cannon. Order was restored in
the town and vicinity. About eighty

that General Methuen has captured

LONDON. Nov. 27.--The war office
has received the following dispatch
from General Butler dated Pietermar-
itzburg, Nov. 26:
"Hilyard, from Estcourt, made sue
cessful attack November 23rd, with
three battalions, one battery, a naval
gun and 700 mounted troops on the
enemy occupying Beach hill, which
dominates William Grange, and which
has interrupted his line Of eommuni-
cation. As result OF the operations
the enemy is retiring and the railway
and telegraph lines have been restored
between Estcourt and Weston. Our
loss was about fourteen killed and fifty
wounded. Hildyard has advanced to a
position near Freere as he hopes to cut
of the enemy, who is believed to be re-
firing on Colenso.

bridge at Freere has been destroyed by
the Beers who are reported to be retir-
ing rapidly A general advance upon
Colenso has been ordered and flying

The Boer losses were much heavier, in
cluding their camp and 1000 rounds of
ammunition.
The second battle took place on Sat.
urday, ten miles north of Belmont at a
place called Gras Pan. The Beers were
outnumbered two to one, but fought
desperately for hours, finally giving
way before an infantry charge. Losses
on both sides were very heavy.
A new feature in the situation is the
fact that large number OF the Dutch
farmers OF Cape Colony are enlisting in
the Boer army.
