NEW YORK, May ga dispatch to
The Journal and Advertiser from Hong
Kong quotes Admiral Dewey as saying,
on board the Olympia: s1
''The hearty sympathy Of these visit
ors I appreciate, but am too sick and
worn out to receive3th It is vastly
easier some times to be under orders
than to issue them. It is the RESPONSE
bility that kills. During the year that
has elapsed since we came to Manila,
have not had one sick day until now,
A year is long enough in this climate
for an old man, and lam glad to- be
permitted Arrest On this account I ex-
pect to remain. in Hong Kong two
weeks. That ought to recuperate me.
My intention is to spend the time at
Victoria Peak, where hope to be abso-
lutely free from worry. Nobody is
more sensible of the kindness of the
people who have extended me invita-
tions, but do not wish for entertain
ment. My health will not stand it at
present. Two weeks of perfect quiet at
the Peak ought to make new man
of me. ~"
Enthusiastic Over Philippines.
81 have the greatest enthusiasm in
the future of the Philippines. I hope
to see Americas possessions the key to
Oriental commerce and civilization.
''The brains Of our great, country will
develop the untold agricultural and
mineral richness of the islands. 49,.
1--WE must never sell them. Such an
action would bring on another great
war. We will do our part with the
Philippines, am sure, and in future
years to deem anybody would have seri-
ously suggested it will be one of the
curiosities Of history.
''The insurrection is broken. There
will be no more hard battles and the
new era for the islands that was tenn
porarily delayed by the rising will soon
begin. Aguinaldo and his generals
must be captured and then the very
semblance of an instruction will cease.
'"The Olympia will go home leisurely.
I want all Of my Ulcers and men to- get
the greatest benefit of all the stops Nye
make. We will pick our places with
this in mind. They have earned a. rest
by year of steady duty without respite.
"While am glad to be going home,
I cannot say goodbye to Manila with:
out regrets. There have been many
pleasant occurrences among the months
Of harassing responsibility, and we will!
not forget them.'

Electric RAILWAYS.
lBSoLUTETY Pure
eoyAl eAk!sa POWDER CO., NEW YORK.

An electric railway from here to
Elma and Riceville would make Cresco
market town worth talking about.
1t is not impossible TO secure these
roads, if we bestir ourselves in the
right way. 70 widen aud deepen the
channels of trade in town is one oi
the first duties if its citizens, and what
could accomplish this more successful
ly than the method here suggested
Cresco Times.
We believe there is much truth in
this suggestion. An electric railway
as suggested would bring the milk to
the creamery; would give the ambit-
ious youth ten miles away an oppor-
tunity to attend the best public schools
of the county; would bring the people
ten miles away to town to do their
shopping, leaving the team at work
on the farm; would give the family
any where within the distance between
the points mentioned nearly every ad-
vantage of trade. church and school
ing as possessed by those within the
limits Of Elma, Riceville or Cresoo,
with ride of twenty to thirty minutes.
Would virtually place the Chicago
q. w. Ry., at our very doors and by
its extension to Mason City would place
,even lines of railway at our doors.
Within the past two years the PLAIN
DEALER has repeatedly ennunciated
these benefits, urging municipal own.
ership of its electric light plant as the
starting point for this grand achieve
ment.

Store Burned.

Friday morning Mr.. and Mrs.
John Byrnes came near perishing
FROM smoke. They awakened about
three o'clock the room in which they
slept over their store in the Bucknam
building, filed with smoke, escaping
in their night clothes. The building
and it's entire contents were con-
sumed, nothing saved, not even their
wearing apparel wore the day pre-
vious. The city marshal tells US he
passed the store not more than
twenty-five minutes before the alarm
was given and every thing seemed to
be all right. The loss on the stock
was fully $500 insured for $4,000 on
stock and 5000 on household goods.
The building belonged to Mrs. Mary
K. Bucknum of Minneapolis was
valued at from $1,000 to $1,000 and was
probably insured. Mr.. Byrnes after
the fire got his safe from the ruins
and on opening it found his books
and papers all right. How the fire
originated is mystery that will
probably never be solved.

Mr.. F. A. Kirshman, chairman Of

Mr.. F. A. Kirshman, chairman of
the congressional committee of the
4th Congressional District, is agi-
tating the question of celebration
and banquet at New Hampton the
18th of April to celebrate the birth
day of the patriot and statesman,
Jefferson, the father and founder of
the democratic party and the author
of the immortal declaration Of Ameri-
can independence. The movement is
a commendable one aud should have
the earnest support of the people
irrespective of party. There has
never been time in the history OF
the United States when the principles
declared for in that bill of rights
were in greater peril than they are
to-day. Men who would preserve for
themselves and perpetuate to their
poste1ity the right to be free cannot
be Indifferent to the tendency OF
plutocracy to encroach upon the
rights asserted in that document and
guaranteed in the constitution of
every state and of the nation.

Murder at Mason City.

Mason City was the scene of
another murder last Saturday after
noon which for ld-blooded brutality
is probably unparalleled in the
history of this part of the country.
L. r. Bone and Charles Tolbred both
tough characters attacked James
Allison in the street. Bone stabbing
Allison five times with a butcher
knife inf1icting wounds from which
he died few hours later. 1t seems
there had been a family feud between
the men and earlier in the day the
two toughs attacked Allison in a fist
fight, in which Allison gave both
a pretty good drubbing. They swore
Vengeance and bought butcher knife
and went out in quest Of their victim
with the above result. Bone and
Tolbred are brothers-in-law and 1t IL
said they will make a fight for
their miserable necks.

Observation-Disclosures en-

Itissaid dthatasatisfactory emergency
ration has at last been found for the
United States army. A mixture of
fresh beef, cereals and vegetables In
dry form is reduced to a tablet not far
from four inches square. Three Of
these tablets, together with one of COM
pressed tea, and packages of salt and
pepper, are put in hermetically sealed
tin box, impervious to heat or water.
The whole ration, sufficient for one day,
weighs 20 ounces. 1t has been tested on
heavy practice marches with satisfac-
tory results. The Importance of an
emergency ration may be judged from
the claim that the pea sausage Of the
German army enabled it to make its
rapid movements against France in the
last war between these powers.
