We are very sorry o>hear that Mrs

We hope she will soon improve and

Miss Birdie Call has gone to spend
winter the at Johe Scott's.

Lewis and Bessie Sorem have
come home to spend the HOLIDAYS.
They are attending school at Jewel
junction, Iowa, but though they arc

The Peace Commissioners have
finished their laboss, and people gen
orally are we'll pleased with what
they have done. It's hoped the senat,
will promptly ratify the treaty, anc
so end all suspense. Most people,
think, can see no good reason why
they should not, as the acceptance
of the treaty would not commit us to
any iron clad policy with regard to
the future of our new possessions
We should do for them now, what al
the present time seems best, and in
the future, what may then seem best
We mast be guided by experience
and future developments. I have an
abiding faith in our ability to deal
with these questions in a way that
will do us credit, and bring lastingly
good to the people whom we have
sought to serve. ROBERT SHORE.
