tended the funeral of Owen Dolon, in
Platteville, Tuesday.
TO the living let death come at,
morn, noon or night, It's sad, but
there are times when the circumstances
connected with the departure of some
loved one makes death more lonely.
On Sunday morning, February II,
1899, Mr.. Owen Dolon died at his
farm home two miles south of town at
the age of G6 years. He issued sale
bills for February ., having rented
his farm intending to dispose of his
personal property and remove to
Platteville: but contracted that dread
disease La Grippe, which confined
him to his bed, but he improved and
was able to be around the house,
when he took a relapse a few days
before the time appointed for his sale
and the sale was postponed till Feb.
IA. He passed away on Sunday, Feb.
II. Deceased was we'll known through
out southwestern Wisconsin, having
been II resident of Lafayette county
for forty years, and man highly
respected by those who knew him.
Mr.. Dolon was twice married, His
first wife, Jennie Carmichael, died
some eight years ago, leaving three
children. He was again united in
marriage, about two years ago, with
Mrs. Welsh daughter of Thomas
Tormcy, of Fennimore, who survives.
Deceased's youngest daughter, Mar
garet, died last May returning from
Phoenix, Arizona, where she had gone
for the benefit of her health. The
children living are James Dolon, the
we'll known attorney of Plattcville,
and Miss Mary Dolon, of the same
place. The funeral was held Tuesday
from the residence of his son James
and the Catholic church, where mass
was held by Rev. Father Lillis. The
large eoncourse of people that fol-
lowed him to his last resting place
attcsted to the high esteem in which he
was held. The pail bearers We're

The following from the pen Of Ellis
b. Usher, of The Lacrosse Chronicle,
is not only timely, but is worthy of
the careful consideration Of every pa
triotic citizen:
"If George Washington could help
celebrate his own birthday today, he
would find u great deal to talk about.
1t IN possible that he would not mar
vel more mt some of the steam and
electric phenomena, than he would at
the changes in the government IL was
his fortune to help to establish.
Washington's birthday is II time to
go back to the old shrine of free gov
eminent and FURNISH up the ideas of
liberty and Independence that were the
inspiration of the men who framed
our institutions. However the men OF
the present may have drfted from
these IDEAS: however the growth and
evolution OF II great country may have
changed the limitations Of doctrines
as of territorial boundaries; however
statute laws may have corrupted con-
stitutional doctrines, the spirit OF lib
erty and the spirit of Justice still
guides the dcstinies of the nation.
The duty OF good citizens today is not
to attempt To block the wheels and act
M clogs to inevitable changes, but to
direct these changes, as far rs in them
lies, in the paths of broad and en-
lightcned liberty and progress. Wash
ingtons birthday Is good day upon
which to study the chart of freedom
and righteousness, II good day to re-
member that the man who assumes to
govern others must attain to that first
excellence of II good citizen and gov
ern himself. Washington had no more
important problems in the govern
mcnt than those that are before rs to-
day. 1T Is u time for every American
citizen to study we'll, and then do his
duty

Bullets flew in every direction, in al
most every street in the Tondo and
Binondo districts, causing the most
intense excitement.
Capt. Robinson Of Co. G. Thirteenth
Minnesota and three men were wound
ed
Many timid persons imagining that
the rebels had effected an entrance
through the American lines and were
advanced into the city, hurried fran
tically from the hotels and houses
only to be stopped at the first corner
by guard.
Thousands of Chinese crossed the
bridges and plazas under fire, hurry
ing with their bundles to the Chinese
consulate.
All night long the fire spread
through the Tondo district, sweeping
away rows of houses and devastating
acres Of territory.
The damage was incstimablc.
With daylight summary measures
were decided upon and the Americans,
although tired after their slcepless
nights work, soon cleared the dis
trict of every native after slight
resistance.

MANILA ON FIRE.

companied by fighting, in Manila last
evening.
The casualties were few, but the
property loss is enormous.
Immense damage has been done by
these fires, which are believed to have
been started by insurgents.
The Fire Department has expert
enced great difficulty in fighting the
flames, owing to defective apparatus
which it is reported, had been previ-
ously damaged by natives.
There was some fighting in the
streets during the night, but the
Americans quickly quelled the up
rising.
A number of the insurgents were
killed and several American soldiers
were wounded.
A large market place was among
the first TO burn.
Between 600 and 700 residences and
business houses have been destroyed.
Fires were started ut several points
simultaneously and spreading with
great rapidity resisted all efforts to
control them.
Hundreds OF homeless natives are
huddlcd In the streets, making the
patrol duty OF the Americans very
difficult.
At 4 O'Clock an inccndiary fire oc-
CURED In u block o. brick buildings
occupied by Chinese on the Gale La
Costc In the Santa Cruz district.
a stifl breeze was blowing and the
lnnammablity of the structures caused
the blaze to spread with alarming
rapldity,
The city Fire department was hope
lcssly incompetent, and the English
volunteer brigade from Santa Mesa
was summoned and with n modern
engine pumping adequate streams
from the canal succeeded, after four
hours work, In getting the blaze
under control.
Meantime the entire block and the
greater part of two others across the
street were completely Quilted.
Hundreds OF inhabitants were rem
dcrcd homeless. The Chinese and ma
tives lined the adjacent streets, while
hundreds more, fearing u general con-
Migration, removed their furniture
aud other portable goods in every
direction, within radius of II quar-
ter Of mile when the alarm was first
given.
Gen, hughes personally superintcnd-
cd the police arrangements,
The whole city was thoroughly pa
trolled and guards wore doubled.
Every available man was dispatched
To the region of the fire.
lmpodiments were placed in the way
of the fireman and the hose was cut five
different times.
This resulted IN all the natives being
driven on the streets, those in the inn
mediate vicinity OF the blaAcs being
corrallcd m vacant lots and guarded
until the cxcitcment was over.
In many Instances the natives were
insolcnt aud paid no regard TO the or
ders given Thorn, aud the soldiers wore
compelled to use harsh methods, the
butts Of their rifles and hayonets being
freely applied,
Tho danger from live electric ligh,
wires neccssitated the closing Of tn,
circuit IN the burning region; and TIA,
only lights in certain parts of the city
was that furnished by the blaze.
shortly after midnight another hil
fire was started in the Tondo district
where the natives are thickcst.
When the fireman and soldiers nj
tempted to work u regular rusilade o
OF rifle and revolver shots were fire,

they exchanged blows at the seaside
Sharkey believes he can deliver, much
harder and more effective blow than JEFF
fries and that ne can afford to take at
least three of JeffrieS' blows in order to
land one. Whether Sharkey's estimate OF
JeffrieS is correct or not their meeting
on Friday night will determine; but the
fact remains that the sailor Is absolutely
confident of success.
Sharkey showed In his gymnasium work
to-day that he is as near the ideal or
physical perfection as possible. There Is
body He is one mass of muscles, and,
although apparently as hard as nails, Is
nevertheless very active. His exercise IN
doors to-day consisted of boxing bouts
with Armstrong and Dixon, bag ag-punchlng
and handball and an eight-mile spin on
the road. Although the exercise he took
was of a vigorous and trying nature
Sharkey did not show distress at any
period of his work. He is perfectly trained
and says that he never felt better pre-
Many persons have been of the opinion
that Sharkey made a mistake in extend
ing the time of battle one week, so as
to give JeffrieS an opportunity TO get ms
injured arm into proper shape again; Dut
the sailor said this idea was an erroneous
II need the extra week, I guess, just
as much as Jeffries, so my friends need
have no concern about my being over
trained. I am just in the right condition,
and that's all there is to it."
Be that as it may, Tommy Ryan apd
"Billy' Delaney under whose supervision
Jeffries has been training at Allenhurst;
n. j., said to-day that they considered
Jeffries. He looked much better to-day
than he did week ago, and Ryan and
Delaney both said that had Jeffries

coming bout he volunteered to start In
training on the day of his arrival.
Alex Greggains has not wasted NM
ute in strengthening himself for the fight.
Each day he goes through "a course of
sprouts" that would give some fighters
a nightmare. He arises about o'clock
each morning. strolls for couple OF miles
and returns and eats a light breakfast,
after which he boards a car and goes out
to the San Bruno road. He is muft1ed up
with heavy clothes and begins a sprint
back to the San Francisco Athletic Club,
where he Is taken in hand and given a
good rundown. In the afternoon he bats
the punching-bag for a half hour and
then boxes with Russell, the heavy
weight Miletts, a clever middle-welght,
and with all OF the clever amateurs who
Will spar with him. The latter are al
ways anxious, as Alec imparts many
points to them
Greggains has all the confidence Of win
ming the contest. He said yesterday he
would either surprise the people or Root
would surprise him. If he does not
achieve victory he swears ne will never
enter the ring again. Alec is stronger
now that he has ever been before and his
punches have tremendous power behind
them.
Manager Long has matched Toby Irwin
and Jack Ennis to meet at 12o pounds on
the night of the Greggains-Root fight.
Fred Asst and Jack Weeday will also meet
that evening at $50 pounds. Weeday ts
training with Root and gives promise of
putting up a good battle.
