Postmaster Since 1889.

Kahoka MOI Cor st. Louis Globe
Democrat: On asst Monday the sud-
den death OF William Folker occurred
at his home in Acasto, Clark county,
Mo. Though a very quiet gentleman,
an interesting bit of history Is con-
nected with Mr.. Folker's life. His
family located at the Ole town OF
Acasto in the Indian days of Northeast
Missouri. When Franklin Pierce be-
came president in 1852, he appointed
William Folker postmaster at Acasto,
from which place he was never re-
moved except by death. For many
years he had the distinction of being
the longest continued postmaster in
the state, If not in the United States.

SOUTHERN UTE RESERVATION
Indian Lands In Colorado Opened to
Settlers.

The opening of the Southern Ute
Indian Reservation has at last been
h ,complished. This vast area OF arabic
lands, fifteen by sixty miles in extent
lies on either side of the Denver & RIO
Grande railroad, South and East OF
Durango. Under the law, the Ute In
dams are entitled. to 374 allotments,
leaving about $4,000 acres subject to
entry under the desert homestead, tim
Der and townsite laws and the laws
governing the disposal Of coal, min
eral, stone and timber lands, and as
the Indians may lease their allotments,
intelligent white men will soon con-
troll many of them at reasonable rent
ais. The lands embrace both valley
and mesa, or uplands, but the supply
of water for irrigation is many times
the amount required, making the lands
suitable for grain and grasses, veg
etables, alfalfa and fruit trees. Glover
often yields three and one-half tons
per acre. The stock industry gives
promise of almost unlimited growth.
The lands allotted to the Indians ag-
gregate 10000 acres and are generally
in compact form. They may be leased
for three years for agricultural pur-
poses and ten years for mining ana
grazing lands. These leased LANDS are
exempt from taxation and free from
cost of water charges as the Indians
own the canals and bitches. The rental
is generally a small amount in cash
and from one-third to one-fourtn OF
the crops. The Indians may be hlreu
to work at low wages. This money ana
the $50 900 which is to be paid TO the
Indians annually by the government
forever" means plenty OF the clrcu-
lating medium in the locality at all
times. Homestead settlers are required
to pay not less than SIZE per acre,
fifty cents of which, per acre, shall be
paid at the time of filing. This pro-
vision shuts out the professional boom
err and invites men of thrift and en-
ergy and industry. These will be the
last of the public domain entries In
Colorado. 1t is the last chance for
cheap, fertile and enviable homes. The
land offices are at Durango, Colo, the
terminus of the Denver & Rio Grande
railroad. The traveller FROM the mid
die West should take the Missouri Pa
cific System to Pueblo where he will be
taken by the Denver & Rio Grande
which is the only line reaching the
Ute Indian Reservation. 1t traverses
for 60 miles the most desirable por-
tons of the lands subject to entry.

$4,000 REGULARS WILL GO.
An Army Of IS, 900 Men Necessary
in Philippines
SEVENTH ARTILLERY TO LEAD.

WASHINGTON, April 21.-Fourteen
thousand regulars are to be sent to
reinforce General Otis at Manila as
soon as the necessary marine trans
portation can be provided The first
regiment to be ordered will probably
be the Seventh artillery, of which two
light batteries G and NJ have been or
dered home from Porto Rico for that
purpose. They will be sent at once to
San Francisco to await an available
trans Pacific steamer. The thirteen
heavy batteries of the regiment will
be equipped as infantry according to
present plans, although one of them
may be used as light artillery.
1t is announced that the army in the
Philippines will be increased to 35, 900
men, whether the rebels abandon the
field or not. If Aguinaldo gives up
his hopeless fight as a result of the me-
gotiations now in progress between
his followers and the Presidents COM
missioners, 35, 900 men are deemed the
right number to garrison the forts in
outlying islands and establish lawful
government in them If the insur-
rection continues in Luzon at least
80, 900 American troops, it is estimated
by the authorities, will be required
there for the campaign that will be
undertaken, the remaining 5000 going
to garrison the chief places which
have teen opened to foreign trade.

FATE OF YORKTOWN'S MEN.
Admiral Dewey Says He Has Heard
Nothing of Them.

MANILA, April %. -Ad miral Dewey,
in an interview to-day, said the expe-
dition of the gunboat Yorktown to
Baler was purely to rescue the Span
ish soldiers and priests who are be-
sieged in church there. The soldiers
refused to surrender when ordered to
lay down their arms by General Rios,
the Spaniard, at the end of the Paris
peace conference.
Admiral Dewey said he did not
know what had become of Lieutenant
Gilmore and the fourteen men in the
launch. They had been sent to sound
the mouth of the river, but went be-
yond the bend out of sight of the
Yorktown.
The supposition is they We're cap
tured or killed by the Spaniards or the
400 insurgents who are besieging the
Spanish garrison Admiral Dewey de-
clined to say what steps he would
take toward punitive expedition.
General Rios, the Spanish com
mander, when interviewed, said he
did not think the garrison at Baler
knew that the war between the
United States and Spain had ended.
He had sent an officer in January to
tell the garrison to surrender. The
garrison refused to surrender, either
not believing the officer or fearing
they would be trapped by the insur-
gents. Since then General Rios has
had no communication with the gar
rison and this is the first information
he has had that the Spanish flag is
still flying at Baler.
He thought the Americans were shot
at by the insurgents, as the Spaniards
themselves are besieged and have no
way of getting to the river.

Gloucester Did Her Work Well.
SANTIAGO DE CUBA, April %. Tho
wreck of the Spanish torpedo boat
destroyer Pluton, which was sunk in
the great battle that resulted in the
destruction of Admiral Cervera's
squadron, was discovered Yesterday
about three miles west of Moro
castle, in eight fathoms of water.
1t was found by divers from the Yank-
ton, who made a thorough inspection,
finding the hull lying on the port side
and with no indications of having
been struck by a heavy she'll, as was
originally reported. The vessel, how
ever, is badly slowed and literally rid
died by six-pounders. Evidently the
Gloucester did her work well that day,
for the Pluton is utterly ruined, and
no attempt will be made to raise her.

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGs, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known tC be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. 1t
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and SUBJ
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from SIENNA and
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
