Rebels May Give Up.
Manila, Dec. 1.-Insurgent leaders in
the northern portion of Luzon may
surrender to the Americans to-day.
Gen. Lawton, who is in Bambang, seven
miles from Bayombong, in the Cagayan
valley, has been in telegraphic COM
munication with the insurgent COM
manders over the wires which were still
in their possession. The leaders of the
rebels are considering the proposition
which Gen. Lawton has made by tele-
graph for their surrender. He demands
an unconditional surrender, but prom

is expected that the insurgents, who
realize that they can offer resistance
but short time longer, will accept and
lay down their arms.
Location of Our Forces.
Gen. Macarthur is now in Bayam-
bang Tor Bayamban), preparing to
sweep the country on both sides of
the acknowledgement railroad. Gen.
Wheaton is at San Fabian and Gen.
Lawton at Tayug. The Gordon from
San Fabian to San Isidro covers all
the roads and occupies all the towns
on the line. The American policy is
to prevent any more insurgents es-
Gaping to the north and to force them
toward the country west of the rail-
road. T'
Notable Prisoners.
Maj. Johnston, of Gen. MacArthur's
staff, brought here by special train
Guardian, secretary of the treasury in
the so-called Filipino government, and
Mariana Lin Gap, a Chinese half
breed, director of railways and post Of
fees, both of whom surrendered in
Bayambang, with their families and
servants. Their goods filled four cars.
Churibian maintained that civilians
were exempt from imprisonment, and
he was deeply chagrined when he
found himself placed incommunicado
with Buencamino.
Gives Up His Force.
Manila, Dec. 2.-Gen. Conon surren-
dered 800 officers and men with rifles,
several American and 70 Spanish pris-
oners, and the garrison at Bayombong,
province of Nueva Vizcaya, to Lieut..
Monroe, with so men of the Fourth cav
airy.
Washington. Dec. 2.-Considerable
interest is felt here in the news that the
insurgents at Bayombong have surren-
dered, particularly as the number is
said to exceed that captured by the
United States troops at any one time.
Bayombong is the city to which Agui-
naldo at one time contemplated retreat
ing for the purpose of locating the rebel
capital, after he was forced to flee from
Tarlac, but the American troops pressed
him so hard that he was unable to carry
out his intention.
Pushing Vigorously On.
Washington, Dec. 2.-Gen. OTIS adj
vices to the war department. Friday
show that the advance into the interior
is being vigorously pushed and the
American troops continue to drive back
and disperse the scattered bands en-
countered. He states that Capt. War
wick, Eighteenth infantry, was killed
in an engagement at Passi, Iloilo prov
ince, on the Goth inst.

Criminal Costs.

According to the Jefferson City
Press the item of criminal costs in
this state from the year 1870 to 1898
inclusive, aggregates the enormous
sum of $3,72o,53o. Burdened tax
payers have viewed with alarm the
growing strain upon their purses to
meet this ever-increasing expense.
Governors, have mentioned it and de-
plored its existence. Legislators have
attempted to enact a code that would
measureably stop it, but no effective
measure ever became law, until a
very radical one was proposed last
winter and passed by what is some
times called the ''sorriest body of law
makers" that ever assembled in the
tate
We call this new law radical
measure, because it requires wit
nesses in some cases to attend court
and get no fees. This is the case with
state and city officials who are paid
salaries, and to whom witness fees
heretofore have been an extra COM
pensation, as they were serving IN two
capacities at the same time.
After the 10th of November, next,
when the new law goes into effect, no
fees will be paid to witnesses in GRIM
inal cases in preliminary trials when
the accused is discharged by the
magistrate, nor when upon preliminary
examination the accused Is bound
over and no Indictment is subsequent
ly found.
1t looks little hard for a person
to be taken away from his home and
compelled to attend court as wit
ness, pay his board, etc. and get
nothing for it, but desperate cases re-
quire desperate remedies. Whatever
tends to decrease litigation decreases
the cost of it to the taxpayers, and
that is the thing aimed at by the new
law

Governor Stephens is sure
enough believer in Christianity? He
writes: "If there is nothing in this
religion of Christ, who died for man,
my own mother deceived me on her
death bed. When her soul was about
to wing its flight she told US all tri-
umphantly, with her poor emaciated
face wreathed in smiles, that she was
going to another home in heaven;
that she would join other loved ones
there; that she wanted her boys and
girls to so live that on some sweet
day we would all meet again and live
and love forever and forever. When
anyone tells me there is nothing m
this Christian religion and sneers at
my mothers faith and talks fippantly
of the Bible, he heaps insult on the
honored dead, and / will have none
of it'

The Lucky Men Named.

Director ofthe census Merriam has
received from Senator Cockrell the
recommendations for census supervis-
ors for five of the six districts In
Missouri allotted to the Democrats.
Only the Thirteenth District remains
open. Following are the names sub
mItted by Senator Cockrell:
First district, Samuel J. Harrison,
Hannibal; Second district, Joe Broad
dus, Chillicothe; Third district, James
F. Reed. Liberty; Ninth district,
Charles A. Davault, Farber; Twelfth
district, Ben T. Walker, Dexter.
This completes the list of supervis-
ors in the state with the exception of
the Thirteenth district.
The Republican supervisors are:
Fourth district. E. E. McJimsey,
Maryvine; Fifth district, George 7.
Baer, Kansas City; Sixth district, 7.
N. Pidcock, Greenfield; Seventh dis
trict, J. J. Gideon, Springfield; Eighth
district, J. w. Vosholl, Lynn; Tenth
district, F. w. Rauchenstein, Clayton;
Eleventh district, Jerome S. Higgins.
ST. Louis.
Senator CoCkrelI has been conten d.
ing all along that not only the super
visors, but the enumerators as we'll
should be apportioned equally be-
tween the Democrats and the Repub-
hcans, so that the letter and spirit of
the census law could be carried out.
The Republicans leaders, however,
have no disposition to act upon such
plan, and the Republican supervls-
ors will name only Republican emu
merators. This will compel the
Democratic supervisors to select only
Democrats in their districts.

Verdict For So "se

Inc damage suit of Ed. Coulson
and Ed. Thacker against Henry Sasse
for false Imprisonment and malicious
prosecution in which the plaintiffs
asked damages to the amount of
500, 900, and which was taken from
this county to Howard, on a change
of venue some time ago, was trie d in
Fayette this week and resulted in a
verdict for the defendant The cir
cumstances leading up to the suit was
published in the COURIER at the time,
and are generally known by the peo-
pie of Charlton county.
Capt. Henry Bucksath, an old and
highly respected citizen of the Bowling
Green prairie, was in town Monday
and placed the COURIER under obi
cations for substantial favors. The
captain is one of those far-seeing bus
mess men who never make fooli sh
investments. He is not only an ex-
tensive farmer, but has been contin-
uous tobacco buyer for number OF
years. He has a large per cent OF
former purchases on hand and Will
realize a handsome profit therefrom
owing to the recent increased demand
and rise in price. He says he always
made the most money on the better
grades of tobacco, for which he paid
the highest price.

Canadians Fear Absorption.

The Toronto World, which opposes the
present liberal government at Ottawa,
prints a startling editorial under the head
ing Canada on the Brink" in which it
warns the people of that country that
times are critical, so far as the mainte-
nance of Canada as a free, independent
and integral portion of North America is
concerned. "Unless Canadians" declares
the World, ''are fully alive to the situa-
ton and speak out in no uncertain way
they will find themselves between grasp
ing annexation movement in the United
States, having for it's end the domination
of the whole continent, and a great party
in England, prepared to make almost any
sacrifices to the United States in consid-
Grafton of some kind of support of Eng
land in her race with Russia, France and
other European powers" The World then
refers to the recent speech at Macon, Ga,
of Maj. Gen. James H. Wilson of Della
ware in which that gentleman expressed
the hope that he would see the day when
our starry flag shall float everywhere,
from the frozen north to the sunny cline
of Central America. In conclusion the
paper says: I'VE are nearer to absorption
than ever we were. Do Canadians real
iZe it?''

Foreign Dem and for Cereals Continues
Unabated-Activity in Other Lines.
Bradstreet's commercial weekly says:
Current business conditions furnish some
sharp contrasts to those usually looked
for or reported at this season of the year.
1t is, of course, reasonable to look for ex-
ceptional activity in holiday and retail
trade generally at this date, and in this
respect the most sanguine expectations
appear to have been realized. Probably
never before at this date, however, was
the course of general business so animated
as at present Speculative activity is no
longer confined to the stock market, but
has widened to include wheat and corn
among the cereals and copper among the
metals, while the rush Of business In iron
and steel seems little, if any, abated, and
some lines, notably cotton goods and raw
wool, are displaying an activity and
strength which would have been welcomed
at any time for year past. Prices OF
securities and Of staples alike furnish ex-
amples of aggressive strength which are
so numerous as to deserve special mention.
The foreign demand for cereals continues
unabated, any slight price reaction being
taken advantage of by foreign buyers.
Wheat, including flour, shipments for the
week aggregate 5,515, 231 bushels, against
,243, $50 bushels last week. Since July 1,
this year, the exports Of wheat aggregate
lie, 236,OS4 bushels, against 123,566,647
bushels last year. Corn exports for the
week aggregate 4 JOB ,673 bushels, against
3,251, 1886 bushels last week. Since July l,
this year, corn exports aggregate 1929
800 bushels, against 76,260,454 bushels
during the same period year ago"
