The Dewey Watch.

AS promised the PRESS gives below a
list of those who have contributed one
penny each to the Dewey watch fund.
The names of others contributing will be
added from week to week. Remember
that none are too young to give, and you
do not have to live in Dickinson in order
to contribute to the Dewey watch fund.
The PRESS will take contributions from
any part of the country, but those send
ing pennies from a distance should en-
close a stamp so that we can mail them
the certificate. Fuller particulars are
published elsewhere in this issue.

was raised, but the contracts already on hand
were so pressing that the heads OF the firm
were unable to give that personal attention to

which they felt was due to their own reputa-

Drift of Feeling Seems to Have Turned
in Favor of Otis Commanding in
the Philippines.
Gems Law on and MacArthu' Are Each to
he Given Resp nsible ommand of
Several DiVisio IS he Navy Go
cooperate With Army.

WAsHINGToN, Sept. 13.-The friends
of Gen. Otis are becoming hopeful that
they will succeed in having him re-
tanned in his present command. Last
week they were deeply discouraged,
and one, high official of the war de-
partment, openly admitted that ne be-
lieved popular clamor" would result
in his friends recall and the assign
ment of Gen. Miles or Gen. Merritt to
Manila.
The prediction is now being conf
IDENTIFY made by Gen. Otis admirers
that he will be permitted to demon
strate what he can do with a large
army before being censured for his fail
ure to make much progress during the
last campaign.
1t is impossible, owing to the con-
flicting interests at work to state posi-
lively how the contest for supremacy
will terminate. Gen. Miles friends
are as confident as are those of Gen.
Otis, but the drift of feeling
now seems to have turned in favor
of the latter. Plans have been adopt
ed at the department, however, under
which Gen. Lawton and Gen. MacAr-
thur are each to be given n RESPONSE
BILE command of several divisions, and
they will begin operations just as soon
as the rainy season is considered at an
end. The cavalry will be under com
mand of Gen. Lawton, while Gen. Mac
Arthur's command will be composed
principally of infantry. One command
will operate to the north, while the
other will probably cover the south.
The president has directed that the
navy cooperate with the army in the
fall campaign, but it is expected its
work will be generally confined to
blockading. A few of the smaller gun
boats will, however, be sent as far in
land as the conditions will perm t.
The marines, too, are to play an inn
portant part in the operations in the
vicinity of Cavite. Within a short
time nearly 200 marines will be on
hand in the Philippines, and they will
be assigned to duty in the southern
part of the island of Luzon, which is
the hotbed of the insurrection. Gen.
Macarthur and Gen. Lawton will be re-
sponsble for the campaign in their
territory.

Another expensive habit that costs

toner has to pay dearly for. Those
innocent little periodical tickets, cash

preston is they don't cost you any
thing. Compare prices at these stores
aLl at our store. This will prove it,
package coffee with presents costs
more than bulk coffee without pres
ent of same quality.
We sell high class sewing machines
at $500, $1,000 and $4,000. Regular
agents prices $4,000, $4,000, and $4,000.

come to you and coax you to take a
machine on time at about double price?
II money lender should ask you so
per cent, or 40 per cent, or 20 per cent
