lianila, March 31.--Major General
Macarthur entered Malolos, the seat Of
the so-called insurgent government, at
1915 this morning, the rebels burning
the city and simultaneously evacuating
it. They are now in full retreat to-
ward the north; where Aguinaldo and
the cabinet have been for two days.
General Halfs brigade is advancing
north from the water works and driv-
ing the left wing of the enemy across.
The United States troops rested last
night in the jungle about a mile and a
quarter from Malolos The days adj
vance began at o'clock, and covered
a distance of about two and a half
miles beyond the Guigulnto river,
along the railroad. The brunt of the
battle was on the right OF the track,
where the enemy was apparently con-
lccntrated
The First Nebraska, First South Da-
kota and Tenth Pennsylvania regi-
ments encountered them entrenched on
the border of the woods, and the
Americans. advancing across the open,
suffered a terrific fire for half an hour.
Four men of the Nebraska regiment
we're killed and 80 were wounded.
Ten men of the Dakota regiment were
wounded and one of the Pennsylva-
mans was killed.
The Americans finally drove the
Filipinos back Although there were
three limos of strong entertainments
along the track, the enemy made
scarcely any defense there. General

everything quiet, when suddenly they
received a shower of bullets from
sharpshooters in trees and housetops,
but these were speedily dislodged
The enemyB loss was apparently
small the jungle affording them such
protection that the Americans were
uneble TO see them. and in firing were
guldod only by the sound of the Fill
pino shots. The American artillery
was handicapped for the same reason.
Last nights long line of camp fires
made beautiful sight, with the
Twentieth Kansas regiment on the
left OF Guiguinto station and the
Pennsylvania regiment on the right,
beyond the river.
The provision train was delayed by
broken bridges, but the stores of grain
and fiocks of ducks in the locality fur

The hospital work is remarkably
efficient, as It has been throughout the
whole campaign.
The telegraphers keep abreast Of the

Another kind act of that min

has just come to light, Some
time in October, Albert Duncan.
a young soldier, was taken to
st. Johns hospital in Brooklyn
suffering from malarial fever.
He was gradually sinking, and
the hospital authorities became
convinced that his death was
only question of q few hours
unless he could see his relatives,
whom he constantly called for in
his delirium and were too poor
to come to him. Miss Gould

Boys, the world is wide. If
you wish to win, "pitch in. !"
The brave always have friends.
Where others have gone, you
can go. If the old track don't
suit, make new one; somebody
will walk in it. Success is never
obtained in a country like this
without an effort. If you fall
down get up again. If you are
in the shadow move around, for
if there's shade on one side there
is sunlight on the other. 1t

Here's a sample of what a Mis-
souri, liar can do when he tries
his best. An exchange from that
state says "A man on Grand
river, in conformity with the
economical ideas of his people,
last winter made a bedstead of
water elm. One day last spring
it broke out all over with buds
and in a week was covered with
groves of waving branches. Last
fall the children picked hickory
nuts from the side pieces and a
few weeks ago the head board
was tapped for maple syrup"

A Washington special to the
Boise Statesman says:
The pressure on western SEN
ators and representatives to Sc
cure the discharge of soldiers
now in Manila has not abated
since the instruction of the Fill
ippinos has broke out. Ever
since the signing of the protocol
letters have been coming in
Washington from soldiers and
their relatives and friends asking
for individual discharges.
Senator Shoup of Idaho has
been especially busy in the war
department trying to secure the
discharge of Idaho voluntees,
particularly those members who
because of sickness or important
business wish to come home, and
those under age who desire to
return to complete their educa-
ton; but owing to the urgent me-
cessity of retaining troops in the
Philippines until the arrival of
the regulars, and the fact that
even if discharged the men could
not return until the arrival of
the transports at Manila, the de-
partment has steadily declined
to grant any discharges. No
senator has been more proud of
the troops from his state or more
industrious for their interest than
Mr.. Shoup and the failure to Sc
cure the discharge of the Idaho
volunteers.
The senator said today II
desire to extend my coincidence
to the relatives and friends of
fallen Idahoans and to express
my sincere grief over the death
of so many of Idaho's brave sons
who have gone down to never
dying fame and everlasting
glory"
Senator Shoup, approaching
the the advantages to the west
ern volunteers of complete
tour around the world, has re-
quested the adjutant general to
return them to this country via.
the Suez canal. He is very
hopeful of securing favorable
action upon this request as it is
his desire that these soldiers
may receive all the possible adj
vantages from their enlistment.
The senator has also asked
that travel pay be allowed to all
volunteers who desire to remain
in Honolulu or at Manila after
their discharge, and believes
this will also be granted.
The silver messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1890-1912, 1899-02-28
Another "dandy.n

Another dandy" A new
game law introduced in the Ida
no Legislature prohibits person
from killing game on another
mans land without permit. We
suppose if it was public domain,
a permit from Uncle Sam would
be necessary. What a wise set of
men in the Idaho Legislature.

Are they not saying to us, "this
war means nothing more than q
change of masters ?" Aye, Mr..
President, when some gentleman
who loves liberty takes this floor
| beg him to tell me the reason
for treating them differently
from what we propose to treat
the people in the island of Cuba.
What is the reason 4? Are hui
man homes less sacred in the
Philippines Are human hopes
and human aspirations any less
sacred there? Does the father
love his family lessP Does not
the mother sing her lullaby as

reason whereby we intend to
take the sovereignty of the peop-
le and gather from them the
tribute we should have gathered
from the shekels of Spain 4?
Tell me, / say, when you have
che floor, you who are going to
follow peacefully and pleasantly
If you can, but with gun and
powder If you must, you who
stand upon the platform to take
the Philippine Islands regard
less of the wish of the people,
where in your declaration of
principal have you the right to
treat them differently from the
people of Cuba.
Oh, but gentlemen say there
is something in it. There is the
sale of rum and tobacco and
calico. If you want the land,
there is Canada; that is nearer.
Take Canada. They talk our
language. But when / say that
to my expansionist friend, he
says, that is different" Oh,
yes; it is different, and will tell
you the difference. It is the diff
ference between the fleet of q
Victoria and the fleet of Aguin-
aldo. That is all the difference.
There is no difference in princi-
pie, for If you have right to
take the Philippines and govern
them and tax them without their
consent, you have the right to
take Canada.

STANDS A GOOD TEST.
Health of1cer Cleary Makes a Report On
Kenosha County Milk Products.

DR.. C1eary, the city health officer,
has completed an analysis of samples
of milk received from the various deal
ers in the tactical fluid about Kenosha,
and the report of the examination is
exceedingly complimentary to the
dealers of the city. One sample was
taken from each dealer and not one of
the samples failed to stand very
rigid test. In nearly every city of the
state the examination of the milk
products has shown a great deal of i'm
pure and adu1terated milk, and for this
reason the report of the health officer is
more especially worthy of comment.
Of course some of the milk stood a
better test than other milk received,
but the Doctor is of the opinion that
this is not the result of any fault on
the part of the dealer, but he has de-
cided that milk taken from some herds
stands a better test than that taken
from others. In summing up the re-
port of the examination DR., C1eary
said that he was Convinced that all the
dealers of the city handled only pure
and wholesome milk. In some cases
the dealers have been forced to pr1r-
chase milk from creameries in the diff
ferent parts of the county, and some
of this milk did not stand as good a
test as was desired by the doctor.
However the local officer has no power
to test creamery milk and nothing can
be done in this regard unless it be
taken up by the State Pure Food Com
mission. In all parts of the state it
has been discovered that the milk
dealers have been using preservatives,
but DR.. C1eary reports that he found no
evidence of the use of such chemicals
in any milk recently tested.
The question of garbage collection
is becoming a very serious one for the
health committee of the Council, but
the officer reports that the committee
has decided on account of the depleted
condition of the city treasury no steps
will be taken during the present year
to have garbage collector appointed.

LAUNCHING THE ''FOURsOME'
The Kenosha Yacht Takes It's Initial BATH
in the Waters of the Lake

Kenosha has a new pleasure craft
anchored in her harbor, for last eve
ming at $50 o'clock the launch "Four-
some'' was given it's initial bath in the
waters of Lake Michigan. The cere-
monies of the launching took place in
the harbor just opposite the life saving
station, and as the little boat slipped
from her mornings into the harbor she
was greeted with hearty cheers from
over hundred threats. The launch
ing, which was the first event of the
kind ever held in Kenosha, was great
success, and as the boat touched the
water a bottle of fragrant champagne
was broken over her bow and she was
duly chistened '"The Foursome.''
The ''Foursome" is one of the neat
est little launches ever seen in the
Kenosha harbor. The boat has a
capacity of about twenty passengers.
She is the property of company
consisting of Richard We11es, John
Keh1or, Guy Simmons and Ben
Windsor. She is propelled by a gaso-
line engine and it is thought that she
will be able to show great deal of
speed. The first trip out into the lake
was made last evening without acct
dent. The passengers who went out
on the first trip were Messrs. We11es,
Windsor, Keh1or and Ferry. The
occasion of the launching was made a
great social event and when the boat
was launched fully a hundred of
Kenosha's society people were scattered
along the dock. After the launching
liquid refreshments were served and a
PLEASANT social time was enjoyed by the
guests.
