NOT A GLOWING ACCOUNT
Returned Soldier Tells of Sad State
of Affairs in Manila

Atchison, Jan. 81. L. AshanfeIler, a
former member of company c, Fourth
Nebraska volunteers, was in Atchison this
morning en- route from Manila to his
home at Beatrice, Neb.
Ashanfeller had a valuable collection of
relics from Santiago, and also specimens
from Hong Kong, Manila and Hawaii.
Ashanfelier says that the majority of
people at Manila are SO lazy that they
commit minor offenSeS in order to be put
in the guard house, to escape working for
their food. He says the average native
market places animals are killed and
dressed and the refuse left lying in a pile
behind the counter until cleaning day,
which is only once a week. Ashanfeller
was discharged on account of disability,
and has been two months on his trip.

Co1ored Man Asks for Stewardship.

The Republican politicians are likely
to have some difficulty in acceding to
the demand. from colored people for
recognition at the hands of the incom-
ing administration. There were colored
men who wanted to get on the state
ticket but they could not do so, and
now many of them seek recognition
elsewhere. w. ]. Johnson. a Parsons
negro, is in Topeka pushing his candi-
dacy for the position of steward of the
state blind asylum at Kansas City. No
colored man has ever held this position
and johnson is not meeting with the
encouragement he thinks he has the
right to expect.

A BARREL OF TROUBLE.
Representative Curtis and His Teie-
 grams About Cuba

Representative Curtis of Iowa has been having barrel of trouble MT. Curtis went over to New York a few days ago on some business, and while stepping at the Waldorf-Astoria re- ceived a telegram from his 14-year-old boy who is out in Iowa at school. which read as follows:
 ''Is it impossible for me to accom- pany you to Cuba?'
 Before he had finished pe1using this with four telegTams and Postal boy with four telegrams and a postal boy with the same number entered the room. MT. Curtis, wondering why he was thus deluged, opened them all inn mediately and found that they were from personal friends in different sec tiCnS of the country, each requesting to be put in on the ground floor for con- sessions in Cuba.
 Very much perplexed as to what this meant, MT. Curtis rushed to the long distance telephone and called up his private secretary in Washington:
 What in the dickens does all this mean?" said MT Curtis
 Why" said the secretary, ''t was given out at the White House this af- ternoon that George M. Curtis of Iowa had been appointed a member of the board to consider concessions in Cuba and other commercial affairs relating to the island'
 MT. Curtis was very much surprised, because he had no idea of undertaking such task
 All that night telegrams poured in on him. Every young man in his con g1essional district of an adventurous spirit, who was tired of the prosaic conditions at home, wired him, asking to be given a job on the commission. He had enough applications to fill q transport ship before bed time. Every one of his friends in the United States who had a thousand dCllars in the bank wired him to lct5 him in upon some concession. People -whom ha didn't know expressed great admira-

that the money that was taken from

Big Preparations for the Celebration of
the Fourth.
Missoula, June 2s.-The time that in
tervenes between now and the Fourth
is very brief, and it behooves every
BODY who can do so to take hold of
the celebration for that day and make
1t hummer. The various committees
are hard at work, and at IA meeting
held In the office of Judge Sloane this
afternoon reported good progress. AS
surances have been received by all the
committees that the citizens generally
will assist in the good work, and a
grand day is looked for. The Standard
has already called attention to the
necessity of merchants making early
preparation for the morning parade.
1t is the desire of the committee that
this be the finest demonstration that
Missoula has ever seen. There will be
floats in abundance, and the merchants
of the city should see to 1t that their
part of the parade is up to date. The
decoration committee urges that every
business house on Higgins avenue and
Main and Front streets be decorated
as deliberately as possible. Those who
are planning decorations should bear
in mind that the illumination of their
buildings will help out the bicycle car
nival at night In splendid style There
will be big crowd in town on that
day and the city must look it's best.
Chairman Sloane of the committee of
arrangements is rustling hard, and the
citizens should, without exception, help
him out.
