The original source of all the trouble
in the Philippines and the dissatisfac-
tion in this country probably was that
payment of $4,000. 900 to Spain. Few
people in this country could see any
good reason for it and the F1lipinos OBJ
jected to being bought and sold like
chattels. If there had been no $40 .00O.-
coo. it is not unlikely that there would
be no war in the islands today. In that
case the idea of justice, as held by
many, would have been as well car
ried out as it has been. although Spain
would have been considerably poorer
in pocket.

was traced through Kansas, Nebraska,
ana over into Iowa, and was finally re-
captured between Council Bluffs and
Omaha last Friday night
1t has turned out that these crooks
are also wanted in Adrian, Minnesota,
Where they robbed the postofHce early
IN July of $500 in money and stamps.
PosloT1ce Inspector j. G. f. Gordon, of
ST Paul, and Deputy Sheriff G. w. W.
DOW, of Mobiles county, Mimi, arrived
IN Belolt Sunday, together with John
De Long, of AtchisOn. special detective
agent of Missouri Pacific railroad, and
took the remaining prisoner, Jerry
Mccartney to Topeka, where he will
appear before the United States attor-
ney- Mccartney hoped and believed he
would be a free man, and would meet
ms PAL soon. but when he saw these
Minnesota officers he recognized the
deputy sheriff and told him that it was
all day with him now.
Soon after the robbing of the Adrian
postof1ce a close description of them
was sent throughout the country. On
July 10 the store of Matt ArnoIdy, of
Upton, Mitchell county, was robbed.
Two days later, July 21 the Missouri
Pacific safe and the elevator Office of
w. Z. Smith, at Ports, Osborne coun-
ty, were broken open and rified of their
contents. And again, on the night of
July %. the Missouri Pacific safe in
Glen Elder, Mitchell county, and the
store of Madison Todd. were also bro
ken open. The railroad company lost
only S13 in the Portis robbery and 81
in pennies in the Glen Elder safe rob-
berry. On July "a they appeared in Be
lott, and that night City Marshal Frank
McGrath shadowed them and made the
arrest.
Special Agent De Long is of the opin-
ion that most of the robberies commit
ted along the Missouri Pacific road is
not the work of professional crooks but
of the lowest bum element. Most of the
stolen goods have been recovered, and
even the one dollar in pennies which
they got out of the Glen Elder safe
were returned.
1t is due City Marshal AfcGrath great
credit in looking up these crooks when
they appeared in Beloit, and soon as he
found they We're the ones wanted he
imme ediately secured their arrest.

HELMAN Will SUE.
Santa Fe Must Answer For Death of
His Son.

D. R HeIman, father of James Hell
man, who was killed at the Santa Fe
bridge across Soldier creek last week,
is preparing to bring suit against the
company for the death of his son. Hell
man claims that the bridge is consid-
erably narrower than the regulation
responsible for the death of his son.
The Santa F'e officials, on the other
hand, state that the bridge is even
wider than the majority of railroad
bridges across small streams, and that
the indications are that young Helman
fell from the gangway of the engine.
