He Was Their Wascot

No volunteer regiment is so poor as
not to possess a mascot. The First
Montana had one-a live Filipino. They
call him simply 3D." but his name, in
the language of the Philippines, is Juan
Alborino. Although only 13 years old.
he writes it readily and legibly in Eng
lish. cd" is a bright, well-built, little
chap with all the native characters.
tics He is an orphan whom the Mon
tana boys picked up at Cavite. They
adopted him. I'd" sold cigars on the
line and displayed keen business in
stinct that keeps him plentifully sup
piled with spending money. He speaks
English, Spanish and Filipino with
equal facility, and in his made-to-order
suit of khaki he was a good looking
soldier boy. He is to be given employ
ment on a ranch owned by two broth
ers in Company D. If all goes well
with the lad he will be a good Ameri-
can one of these days.

river. Kansas and the artillery had
secured their respective positions and
Montana was swinging to the right at
an abrupt angle when the fusillade be-
gan. Within two minutes six men had
fallen, but the rest of the regiment kept
on in an unbroken line until the order
was given to halt. Immediately after
the order and as though nothing I'M
usual had happened, the regiment went
into company formation under a
scathing fire. One battalion was or
dered across the river in an exposed
condition and in open boats, and when
the order was given to advance on the
enemy. with a wild cheer the men
rushed forward and pushed a large

One of the Guns
Is for oAnaconda.

None of the 'spoils of war; brought
home by the Montana soldiers will be
suggestive of barbarity in the treat
ment of the foe or of reckless looting
on the scene of victories. There will
be no lack of trophies, however. Some
of these will be treasured souvenirs,
and all Of them will interest the
friends of the regiment.
The promise is that Anaconda will
get one of the most unique Of these
Philippine trophies Captain Hallahan
has a big and varied collection Of
curios and relics. They fill so many
boxes and packages that his comrades
predicted that he would need to hire
a special car for their transportation.
From a good sized cannon to small
curios and bits of jewelry, they form
an array that would do credit to mu-
scum.
! The cannon is likely to be Of special
interest in Anaconda. 1t was the last
one sold by the Spanish authorities
and secured by Captain Hallahan af-
ter the expenditure Of much time and
trouble. 1t is a bronze field piece of
eight centimeters calibre. 1t was cast
August "a, 1776, and it weighs 1900
pounds, mounted on wheels. The piece
of ordnance is highly ornamented with
the Spanish crest Of arms and relief
work. The name of the gun is Gallo"
"a fighting cock.
The gun was used in the Peninsular
campaign by the Spanish to repel the
invasion of the French and was after
wards sent down to Mindanao. early
in this century. at the time of the war
between the Spanish and the Morros,
after which it was taken back to Ma
Mia. The gun is still as sound and
servicea BILE as when it was cast.
The captain has two halberds that
are 800 years old and are said to have
been used by the body guard of the
pope. Later they were used by the
guards of the governor general of the
Philippines. There are also dozen
lances that were used long ago by the
Morros at Mindanao, and the boys OF
Company NJ will carry these when
they land in Anaconda, for their right
full arms will have been turned back
to the government.
Captain Hallahan also purchased
from a lieutenant colonel of Spain a
saber made in Toledo in 1872. very
fine blade and an unusually long one.
The collection includes a complete set
of arms and musical Instruments in
NINA ture, and. besides these. a big
trunk and two boxes full of relics and
curios. But the prize article in the lot
is the big field piece. 1t is proposed to
test it's quality when it reaches town.

It's a funny thing that the WON

The same woman, the wife, is so
different from herself, the mother,
that her own Maker, thinking of
her as the one, would not recognize
her as the other.

The great producing classes of the
United States-the farmers-who
constitute the basis of our power
and wealth, have SO far been the
greatest sufferers from the trusts.
All they consume on the farm
machinery OF all kinCs, fertilizers,
binding Irvine, plows, harrows, and
the articles of clothing and house
furnishings, now controlled by the
trusts, have advanced in price
while all the farmer produces, the
great staples of wheat and corn in
particular, have been declining in
price the past year, or ever since
the great trusts began their organi-
kation. Thus the farmer is cut
both ways-tirst in the advanced
price ofall he has to purchase; and,
second, in the low prices he receives
for all he produces.-N. A. Ledger

Two things that politicians are
watching with most interest just now
are the development of the Presidents
plans for the Philippine campaign this
fall and the Ohio election. While there
is no question being raised at this time
as to President McKinley's renomina-
ton, there is an element in the
Republican party that is only waiting
for an opportunity to make a demon
stration of opposition to him. At pres
ent there is no encouragement for an
opposition movement, but il IS said
that if an opportunity should develop
it would be very promptly awaited Of
This leads the Washington Star to
state that if such an opportunity is 70
come, it is anticipated that it will
grow out of events in the Philippines
within the next few months, or out OF
the course of politics in Ohio this fall.
Independently of the national and
general political consequence involved,
it is pointed out that the President has
a very great personal interest at stake
in both quarters. No politician doubts
that if the Republicans are successful
in the Ohio campaign as usual, and the
conduct of the war in the Philippines
this fall and early winter is not a fail
ure, Mr.. Mckinley will be renominat-
convention. on the other hand, it is
felt that a failure in either quarter
might cost him the nomination.

The forgery of a mans name to a
newspaper letter is quite an unusual
thing. At the same time it is a most
contemplate proceeding, and the au-
thor of such an act deserves all the
punishment the law can impose. 1t is
not within the power of newspapers to
identify signatures. The necessity of
it has, perhaps, never appeared here
before. This makes the crime-for
crime it is-in the case of 7. McCants
Stewart all the more reprehensible.

Dispatches by the Warrimoo today
are to the effect that war is inevitable
between England and the Beers. 1t is
said that the leading tinanciers of
London are satisfied that a conflict
must come: that both sides have gone
100 far to turn back. Dispatches from
both London and the Boer capital are
warlike in tone. The latest develop
ment is an intimation that Germany
is taking an active part in the affair.
on the other hand Berlin authorities
censure DR.. Leydes, Kruger's right
hand man, for misleading him by re-
porting that he is likely to get support,
if not assistance, from some of the
European powers.
