living five miles west of here, received
a sound thrashing at the hands of
Mrs. Luke Phillips. a neighbours wife.

PHILIPPINE ARMY PLANS.
War Department May Create II Division
Similar to That in Cuba.

Similar to That III Cuba.
WASHINGTON. D. c., Sept. 2S.-A
plan is under consideration at the war
department to create an army division
of the Philippines and divide the divi-
sion into departments on a basis SIM
lar to hat in Cuba. The idea is to
create four departments in the Philip
pines, at least three of them to be COM
manded by major generals. The Phil
ippines heretofore have been known
as the Department of the Pacific.
1t is expected that one department
of the proposed new division will con-
sist of General MacArthur's command
north of Manila, another will be Gen
eral Lawton's command south Of Ma
Mia and a third will be a new COM
mand to operate from Lingayen or
Dagupan.
A. fourth department will probably
consist of troops in the islands south
of Manila, which include the COM
mands now at Iloilo, Cebu and other
points.
The scheme has not yet taken such
definite form as to determine the COM
mands of the departments and divi-
sions. There is little doubt, however,
that Lawton and Macarthur will re-
main where they are and prob
ably the command in the islands south
will be under a brigadier general. An
other officer will have to be selected
for the department in the far northern
part of the island at the terminus of
the OaguDan railroad.
The plan is to give each department
commander all the troops that can be
successfully operated and also insure
sufficient garrisons for all points taken.
Protection to the pcaceable tribes is
II of the chief objects sought. as rep
reservations made to the war depart
ment indicate that many of the inhab-
itants do not want to fight and if un-
molested and relieved from fear OF
attack by the Tagalos will assist in
supporting the authority of the United
States and make it impossible for tho
followers Of AGuinaldO to subSiSt.

The EefNrm School Act.

LINCOLN, Sept. 23.-The cast of
Scott against Flowers, a case involv-
ing the constitutionality Of the reform
school act. which has been dragging
along in the courts in Lancaster coun-
ty for several years, was argued and
submitted to the supreme court last
week. A young girl named Flowers
was charged in the county court by
her guardian with incorrigibility.
After a hearing the girl was commit
ted to the reform school. but was
afterward released on an order from
the court. Friends of the girl brought
suit for damages against the guardian,
Scott, and secured a judgment for her
for $1,000. This case was appealed to
the supreme court and the point is
now raised that the entire reform
school law is contrary to salute.

New Battleship's Speed.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 23.-Naval Of
fcers who were on board the new bat
tleship Kearsearge on her run from
Newport News to New York say she
made thirteen and a half knots an
hour, with a screw revolution of from
80 to 40. This and the fact that she
had a foul bottom satisfies the officials
that the battleship will make about
1925 knots an hour or her trial next
week, or a quarter knot above the re-
quired speed. 1t is said she is capable
of greater speed than this, but as there
is no premium for extra speed the en-
gines will be pushed only enough to
give a safe margin above the contract
requirement.

Canned Ca tfh.

Nearly all kinds of fish are canned
to more or less extent except catfish,
and these are to be similarly treated
in a short time, as an Atlantic City cx-
pert and a party Of fifty men from
Philadelphia have left for the Kissimee
river, Fla. to catch and can all they
can get. There is no reason why cat
fish should not be sold as readily as
salmon or any sea product. Salt water
catfish are not to pc used, because the
skin cannot be separated from the
body, and only those found in the
fresh water rivers and lakes in the
south will be canned.

LINCOLN, Sept. 23.-The supreme
court handed down a decision of the
case of the Nebraska Telephone COM
pany against the State Board of Public
Lands and Buildings, affirming the dis
missal by the lower court of the petit
ton of the company for a permanent
injunction restraining the board from
taking action on the complaint of
John O. Yeiser, who sought to have
telephone rates reduced. 1t was
thought the decision in the case would
touch upon the constitutionality of
the various state boards provided for
by statute and not by constitution, but
this point is not decided.
