have notified the people OCCUPYING their
property in Pleasant Prairie that they
must vacate by March LIST as at that
time they will begin the building of

completed by August LIST.
The city council should certainly see
the necessity of ordering Market
Square paved on the south side. At
present the place detracts not little
from the beauty of the city, and some
action should be taken to have it
paved before the soldiers monument is
dedicated.

DECREASE IN MEMBERSHIP.
Roois-Badge for Each Member Who
Recently Enlisted.

Detroit. Mich, Sept. 9.-Commander-
in-Chief Shepard, of the Sons of Veter-
ans, in his report to the eighteenth an
nual encampment of the organiza-
ton, recommended that the order
manufacture its own badges and
sell them at profit for its own
benefit. Quartermaster General Boil
tons report showed the order to be
in good condition financially with ST.
600 in the treasury. The membership
has fallen off about 1000 in the past
year, according to Adjt. Gen. Abbott's
report, and he ascribes this to the fact
that so many of the young men from
whom the orders membership would
come have enlisted in the army. The
report shows a total membership of
$4,000 scattered among 1900 branches.
The order has decided to. present to
each of its members who served in
either the Spanish or Philippine war a
badge of honor, manufactured from
Spanish cannon, which has been prom.
ised for that purpose by Secretary of
War Root.

Washington, Sept. 1O.-Gen. Otis has
been instructed, in framing his plan
of campaign for the dry season, to al
low for the fullest participation of the
naval forces in the Philippines and as
soon as he has been heard from the
necessary orders will go forward to
the naval commanders to cooperate
with the army to an extent not before
contemplated. The naval officers have
always been willing to do this, but
they have been restrained in their
operations by an indisposition to in
terfere in any manner with the plans
of the military commander. The ships
will undertake to capture any of the
ports now in insurgent possession that
may be desired by the army, and also
to hold them indefinitely, thus making
it possible to open the railroad on
Luzon from the northern extremity.
while in Cavite province, with the
large force of marines now on hand,
it is believed that the navy can under.

there and make available consider

THE FIGHT IN OHIO.
The Vote Mayor Jones Gets Will Probably
Determine DemOcracy's Attitude
Toward Public Ownership.

The Ohio state democratic platform,
upon which John Il. Mclean was NOM
mated for governor. contains the fol-
lowing plank:
We favor the initiative and referendum the
passage Of the eight-hour labor law the more
rigid inspection Of mines and workshops, the
prohibition Of sweatshops and the abolition of
the contract system of prison labor.
This establishes, with reasonable GER
tainty, that the national democratic
convention of 1900 will declare for the
initiative and referendum and make a
bid for the vote of organized labor by
endorsing its demand for an eight-hour
labor law.
The Chicago Dispatch is authority
for the following statement:
A plank favoring municipal ownership was
knocked out Of the report of the resolutions
member Of the committee. This plank was
in the original draft under consideration by the
committee.
As Mayor Jones, of Toledo. independ-
ent candidate for governor, is specially
committed to the idea of municipal
ownership, this issue will be accentu-
ated in the campaign and fully dis
cussed. The result of the vote will
have much to do with the action of the
national democracy as to this issue,
Mr.. Mclean, being largely interested
in many municipal utility plants, could
not. consistently with his private in
terests, make campaign upon plat
form favoring municipal ownership.

Washington, Sept. 9.-President Nc
kinley is now possessed of the fullest
information possible upon the Phil
ippine situation. Yesterday the presi-
dent, in a two-hours' conference, was
given the benefit of Senator Bever-
idge's observations in the Philippines.
When Senator Beveridge left the white
house he followed the course which
has characterized him since landing
from the Philippines and declined to
talk for publication. 1t is understood
that the senator is reserving his opin-
ions and his views for speech in the
senate. He will not even express an
opinion as to whether the administra-
tion is pursuing the right course in
the Philippines.
