Over One Hundred People Went Down
With the steamer Stella.


Southampton, April 2.-The passen-
ger steamer Stella plying between this
port and the Channel islands, crashed
upon the dreaded Casquet rocks near
the island of Alderney, in dense fog,
and foundered in 3ep minutes, her
boilers exploding VIZ tremendous
report as she went don ia. In spite Of
this it is said there WIS no panic on
board. The coasting steamer Lynx,
which brought the news of the disas-
ter here, picked up four boats and forty
persons. 1t is estimated that 100 per-
sons were drowned.
The second officer of the steamer,
who was among the rescued, says that
collapsible boat was launched full of
people. but he thinks she struck on
the rocks, owing to the fog.

BETWEEN TWO FIRES.
Retreat of Aguinaldo Cut on by Hostile
Tribes.


Manila. April 2.-Recently issued
copies of the Republica Filipino, Apui-
naldo's official organ, contain a procla-
nation to the effect that certain parties
are raiding the northern towns and
ordering the same to join the Filipino
army Immediately. or take the conse-
quences when Aguinaldo shall have
finished with the Americans. This is
construed as meaning that Macaholas,
the governor of the five northern prov
inces, is unfriendly to Aguinaldo. II
this be true, Aguinaldo's retreat is un-
doubtedly cut off at the railroad be-
yond San Fernando.
From the reports gathered by tho
American officers from prisoners and
others, it is believed the rebel army il
constantly losing strength on account
of desertions, and that, although the
enemy may make one or two more
stands, the forces of Aguilaldo will de-
generate In perhaps q month, to few
hundred. who may continue waging =
guerilla warfare in the mountains

Washington. April 5.--within the

be asked by Great Britain to indemnify
the family OF British subject named
simpson, who was killed during the
battle 1T Manila, February %. Simp-
son was accidentally shot. He was
looking out Of the window of his house
when the battle was in progress and
being dressed In white clothing, he
was mistaken FOR Filipino. This will
bs the hrst claim of the kind growing
out Of the Spanish war.

Joint High Commission Has Been Practic-
ally Agreed Upon.
Washington, April "A joint high
commission to settle the entire Samoan
trouble has been practically agreed
upon by the United States, British and
German governments. Lord Salisbury's-
absence from London alone delays the
I formal acceptance by Great Britain.
The United States has informally ex--
pressed its approval and the formal &C.
ceptance, it is learned from the best
quarter, will follow speedily. AS the
proposition emanates with Germany,
her approval, of course, is assured.
Each nation is to be represented by
one member of the commission. It is
to have practically unlimited authori-
ty, without the necessity of referring
its decisions back to the several gov
ernments for approval.
Still another important provision un-
der consideration is that King Oscar of
Norway and Sweden shall be the UNI
pire in case the three high commits
sioners shall fail to reach determine
ton.

agement is not content to have one
great feature-every act in the show
is great feature. First will be the

open-air spectacle. Nothing to COM

ever been seen in America. The pro-
cession leaves the show grounds
promptly at 10 o'clock, and the route
is over the principal down town
streets. The parade is divided into 80
sections. each of which is complete in
itself, and yet so beautifully blended
as to form a continuous 2-mile line of
ever-changing color and brilliancy.
Embraced in the 80 sections are repre-
sensations of the most famous military
organizations of the world, all bril-

Plans for the Tri-CIty Celebration to be
Held at Davenport.
The various committees in charge
of the Labor day exercises for Mon
day, Sept. 4. are busy making prepa-
rations for that event, which will be
held in Davenport this year. Mar
shall of the Day Alex Lindsey saws
that the parade will be the biggest the
tri-cities have ever witnessed. The
10th annual, so the committee claims,
will go down in the history of the tri-
cities rs the biggest labor celebration
on record. A number of the mer-
chants and manufacturers have al
ready guaranteed to erect floats
and participate in the parade. Stras-
ser's band of "a pieces has
already been retained to escort
the parade through the streets
of the city. The various labor organ
izations of the three cities will march
under the standards of their respec-
tive unions. The Davenport police.
city officials, fire department and
other public bodies will march. The
only reason the steam roller will not
be in the column is that il is liable to
brighten horses
The committee has been at work
arranging excursions from the towns
along the river and other places.
In the afternoon a celebration will
be held at Schuetzen park. The real
exercises of the day will be held there,

COUPON.

Well, what did you think of our ad
vertisment in Mondays ARGUS?
Pretty clever scheme, don't you
think?
Did you clip that coupon?
| Judging by the number who pre-
scented coupons in part payment for
| the purchase of shoes the idea was
not only clever, but opportune- Pos
sibly some of our patrons overlooked
the announcement in Mondays paper
| (Aug. 2D, and for their benefit we
explain just what the advantages of
the coupon are and reprint this much
of the original advertisement. Here's
the plan:
You clip the coupon and come to
our store to buy shoes. Nobby shoes.
swell shoes, stylish shoes, serviceable
shoes-yes, that's the kind of shoes
we sell and with each cash purchase
your coupon represents 20 per cent.
No trouble To show shoes. No
trouble to send out shoes on approval.
No trouble to answer questions about
shoes. We're in the shoe business.
We never advertise fact and then go
back on it, and when we said that this
little coupon would only appear once.
that was the whole truth.
Therefore, if you would profit by
this bit of liberality on our part
look over your Mondays ARGUS and
cut out the coupon.
It's worth money to. YOU. One
fifth the gross amount of any cash
purchase you make at this store prior
to Sept I will pay you for the
trouble of looking it up, don't you
think?
For instances: Suppose you buy a
pair of s. shoes, the coupon is worth
20 per cent or one-fifth, in other words
you get the shoes worth regularly S.
for the coupon and 81. Simple plan.
isn't It?
Most anybody will pay cash to save
20 per cent do you see where we
grind our AK?
No charges, no bad account, no
books to buy, no collector TO pay. no
losses-consequence-you make the
saving.
Do you buy your shoes here?
Certainly the above facts coupled
with the statement that our stock en-
braces the newest creations in foot
wear are sufficient to warrant your
most earnest consideration.
