He couldn,t Reach II.

The following anecdote concerning
the famous lecxlre On 1.-THE Holy
Land" which. il is said, Ex-Governor
as he prepared 1t, is related III Franc
r. Wilkes pamphlet Oh the life Of the
governor:
He had been invited to deliver this
lecture at a country town in illinois
and accepted. A large crowd gathered
to hear him, and he was greeted with
loud applause as he stepped forward
to lecture. He was only to speak for
one hour and said in beginning he
would preface his lecture with Il few
remarks on his experience in Europe.
At the end Of 2H hours he was still
talking about Europe, and because the
people seemed so delighted he an
nounced that he would deliver the lee,
ture the next evening.
The same people came back, re-en-
forced by many more, and ut the end
of another two hours he stopped with
out having said anything about the
Holy Land, except to announce that as
his subject. The third night t.N3t was
q monster gathering. and Governor
Oglesby, after finishing up Europe,
started to say 4 few words about
Egypt and the Nile before beginning
his lecture. At last he looked at his
watch and. with a look Of %astonisI-
ment, turned to one of his friends on
the platform and said:
"Well. here it is II o'clock. and Ill
be hanged if I've got to the Holy Land

"The boy is not an animal, yet he

When a boy hollers he opens his mouth

ALIAGA BEEN OCCUPIED.

Manila, Nov. 1.-(By Associated
Press. General Hughes, commanding
the Vasayan district, reports the island
of Negroes more peaceful and orderly
than for twenty years. The planters
are. pursuing business and are undis.
turbed by the brigands who long lev
led tribute on them. The Americans
have scattered the robbers and pro-
pose to pursue them till they are effec-
tually suppressed.
Young's column entered Cabanaui-
tan, north of San Isidro, yesterday
morning. Colonel Parker, with two
troops of the Fourth cavalry, took pos
session of the deserted town of Aliaga.
Captain Batson captured a telegraph
operator bearing a telegram to Aguin'
aldo from an insurgent colonel, report
ing that General Lawton was killed in
recent fight. The operator said SOC
insurgents were approaching Aliaga
from Tarlac. Batson has placed scouts
in ambush awaiting them. Col. Hays
with four troops of the Fourth cavalry,
charged the towns OF Talayera and Co
bal, dispensing $50 insurgents and pur-
suing them three miles. He captured
two cannon and q quantity of ammu-
milton. Batson captured quantities OF
rice, sugar and corn. A prize crew
from the gunboat Castine arrived here
with the British steamer Lebuan, from

Democratic Candidate Urges Election
of His Party Candidates,

Va AAAS 0Ssy S&nsAhsAahcbs
,Eldora, Nov. Fired White, the
democratic candidate for governor OF
Iowa, addressed small sized crowd of
the faithful at Ackley in this county
yesterday afternoon. White began his
address with the statement that the
good times which we as people are
enjoying today could not in any degree
be attributed to the republican legisla-
ture but it was wholly due to the fail
ure of the crops in the old world.
White took occasion to denounce the
trusts, which pernicious combinations
could not exist with the democrats in
power in all branches of the govern
ment.
The speaker poured out TRADE
about imperialism and likened Aguin-
aldo to the immortal Washington.
He thought the insurgents a people
capable of self-goyernment and the war
on the part of the United States one of
conquest.
White seemingly shed the scaldipg
tear when speaking of wrongful legis-
lation which the republican party had
enacted against the rights of labor and
the laboring man.
The crime of 1873 was held in the
background, presumably because of its
weakness anywhere this year to score
la touchdown.
The speech throughout was pitiful
plea for personal place and a clear ex-
hibition of weakness.
