Ct neral Blacksmithing and Wagon
Shop, in Swenson Mower Works
building, Cresco.
This is the largest shop in town and
is run by steam, where all kinds of
work is done and warranted We
dou't depend on hired help which
some time might be good, other times
poor, but do the work and see tx" it
that it is right ourself, which enables
us to do the work ter than thebest,
and cheaper than the cheapest. 7
John Deere, the great pillow man,
said that he could count on the fingers
of his hands the practical plowmen
of the United States This being q
fact it is only a few places inthe state
where a practical plowman is found,
and Swensou's Mower Works is one
of these places.
Bring the work In, In time : as We
cannot afford to let any hiredl help
tinker with this Kind of work but
must do it ourself to givei satisfaction.
Wagon Work,
Special attention is paid to wagon
work, such as cutting down wheels,
stubbing axles. and tire setting. We
do this work by method of our own

pitch and gather, run true and track,
a very important thing to know for
vehicle owners.

DEATH OF WARREN LELAND.
The Well-Known Hotel Proprietor
Expires as the Result of
Recent Operation.

New York, April 5.-Warren T. Lee
land, proprietor of the Windsor hotel,
which was destroyed by fire on March
noon at the Hotel Grenoble Mr.. Lee
lands death followed an operation for
appendicitis performed on Friday last.
Mr.. Leland had apparently been in good
health up to Thursday last, notwith-
standing the amount of work he had to
do in connection with the burning of
his hotel and the grief he felt at the
loss of his wife and daughter, who
were among the victims of the fire. On
that day he began to complain, and as
his illness was evidently serious, a con-
sultation of physicians was held on
Friday and it was deemed advisable to
perform an operation. After the opera
ton the patients condition was satisfac-
tory, but he had relapse on the fol
lowing day and second relapse on
Tuesday. At 4 o'clock in the after
noon he began to sink rapidly, and he
died within two hours. AT the bedside
when the end came was Mr.. Leland's
son, Charles Leland, of Chicago, his
physician and nurses. Mr.. Leland's
son Ralph and his daughter Fannie, who
had been summoned from Chicago,
were unable to reach their fathers side
in time to see him alive. His only broth.
er, Charles E. Leland, is at present at
Mount Clemens, Mich.
Funeral services will be held in the
Church of the Heavenly Rest at IL
o'clock to-day and then the remains
will be taken to Chicago, where final
services will be held Friday at two
o'clock p m. from the Leland family
residence, 1851 DreXel boulevard.

Text of Proclamation.

New York, April s. = The Journals
Manila correspondent cables the text of
the United States Philippine commits
sioners' proclamation, issued Tuesday:
"The commission desires to assure the
people of the Philippine islands of the cor
dial good will and fraternal feeling which
is entertained for them by the president
of the United States and by the American
people.
'The aim and object of the American
government, apart from the fulfillment of
the solemn obligations 1t has assumed to-
ward the family of nations by its accept
ance OF sovereignty over the Philippine
Islands, is the well-being, prosperity and
happiness Of the Philippine people and
their elevation and advancement to a po-
sition among the most civilized peoples of
the world.
'"The president believes that this felicity
and perfection of the Philippine people is
to be brought about by the assurance of
peace and order, by the guarantee of civil
and religious liberty, by the establishment
OF justice, by the cultivation of letters
science and the liberal and practical arts
by the enlargement Of intercourse with for
elgn nations, by expansion of Industrial
pursuits. by trade and commerce, by multi
plication and Improvement of the means of
internal communication, by development
with the aid of modern mechanical inven-
lions of the great natural resources of the
archipelago, and, in word, by the unin-
terrupted devotion of the people to the
pursuit of useful objects and the realiza-
ton of those noble ideas which constitute
the higher civilization of mankind
Ohiortunately, these pure aims and pur-
poses OF the American government and
people nave been misinterpreted to some
OF the inhabitants of certain islands and
as a consequence the friendly American
forces have, without provocation or cause
been openly attacked and why these hos
Titles? What do the best Fiipinos de-
sire? Can 1t be more than the United
States is ready to give? They are patriots
and want liberty.
Points of Cardinal Importance.
I'm the meantime the attention of the
people of the Philippines is invited to GER
tain regulation principles by which the
United States will be guided in Its relations
with them. These are deemed to be The
points of cardinal Importance:
I. The supremacy of the United States
must and will be enforced throughout every
part of the archipelago, and those who re-
sist 1t can accomplish no end other than
their own ruin.
~ To the Philippine people will be grant
ed the most ample liberty and self-gov-
eminent reconcilable with the mainte-
nance OF wise, just, stable, effective and
economical administration of public af-
fairs and compatible with the sovereign
and international rights and the obligations
Of the United States.
