regiment has been engaged in a series of minor operations which have resulted in a large amount of arduous and dangerous work, all of which has been cordially and well performed by this excellent regiment"
 The attempt of the natives within the city assisted by the insurgents outside, to rise within the city of Manila on the 23d of February is described as a formidable movement. General Macarthur says the situation was made embarrassing by the fact that a number of insurgent soldiers had succeeded in getting back of the American lines, and he shows how the Montana regiment accompanied by Major Mallory, inspector general of the division, materially aided in expressing the demon- strationt.
 Comments the Laguna de Bay
 High commendation is bestowed upon the little army gunboat Laguna- de Bay, com manded by Captain Randolph, and upon the volunteer signal corps detachment, un- der Captain Edgar Russell. Under this head it is shown how the signal corps made it possible to fully develop the cooperation of the navy by it's system.
 The quartermaster and subsistence de- partments are praised as completely sue cessful in every detail. The report says: {
 'The supply of American soldiers CT gagged in active field opera tons on the distant shores with choice fresh beef fro AuslTdNai lHe very Debt QudIlty ol IlSSH vegetables from the United States, with condensed water, together with all other parts of the ration in abundant quantity and good quality, is certainly just cause for warm congratulaton to all concerned"
 After taking the medicinal department into his chapter of recommendation, Gen. era1 Macarthur speaks of the results of the work of the American troops as follows;
 ''The punishment inflicted by the division may be estimated from the fact that off, cial report has been made of the actual burial of S74 insurgents killed in action during the month. The enemy's wounded were as a general rule successfully re- moved, so that 1t is impossible to speak with any precision in that respect, but it is assured that three wounded to one killed would be a reasonable estimate"
 The report concludes with special tributes to the enlisted men, first to general officers and lastly to the staff.

AGUINAlDO RUNS.


Washington, Nov. 9.-The war de-
partment has definitely located Ag.
uinaldo today on his way to the
town OF Boambang. about rs miles
northeast OF Tarlac. 1t is said the
insurgent capital will now be shifted
to Boambang and the efforts Of the
American military forces will be d.
rected toward that point. 1t Is In
the mountain country to the north
and apparently out OF the populous
regions where AguinaldD thusfarh has
conducted his operations. 1t IL said
to be accessible from the south by
only one route, along a branch Of the
Rio Grande. This leaves the rebel
leader little or no opportunity OF
communicating with the coast or
getting In supplies. He Is also left
off the railroad. 1t is said at the de-
partment that the columns Of Young
and Wheaton will push on to the
north, following up the insurgent
leader and his scattered bands.

Most of the missing baggage be-
longing to members OF Company 1
has been located, tho three pieces are
still to be found. This Is working
great Inconvenience To the owners OF
the baggage, as well as to the recep-
tion committee, the latter not being
able to close their accounts until all
claims are listed with the secretary,
and the committee has very gener-
ously persisted In its determination
to deliver all baggage In Lewistown
free OF charge. Among the missing
pieces IL n grip belonging to Adjt.
Croft, which contains some valuable
relics and personal property which
the adjutant will greatly regret los
ing.
Gov. Smith last week refused to
grant a number OF pardons for which
applications had been made. Among
them was that OF John James, sem
fenced In this county May 10, 1891, for
a term OF ten years. James killed
Henry Elmer at Philbrook Nov. "A,
1890, the deed being committed with
a gun. The defense was that Elmer
was seeking James life with q club
and James acted in self defense.
Frank Samples, w. L. Vinson. Eu-
gene WEIGH, Chester Campbell and
DR.. W. A. Long were the principal
witnesses for the prosecution.
James was convicted of murder In
the second degree; he was one OF the
first criminals sentenced by Judge
DuBose, who the same spring re.
ceived his appointment in the new
Tenth judicial district from Gov,
Toole.
Milton o. Howell, charged with The
murder of Thomas Rolling and who
was lodged in jail Wednesday of last

before Justice MacGowan the 18th

first degree. He took until this after
noon to plead, when the date of hin
Examination will be set, though 1t il
quite probable that he will waive
Examination and await his trial
The incarceration of this murderer
comes as n piece of good luck to the

TT. Johns returned yesterday from
Helena where he had been called as
witness in the Welcome case. He

was abroad yesterday to the effect
that Mr.. Johns would start another

j. d. Waite, one of the bondsmen,
said yesterday that every effort was
being made to straighten out the
tangle and adjust the difficulties, but
that their inability to secure the at
tendance OF Mr.. Sheridan at a meet
ing was causing unloOked-for delay.
From another source 1t is learned
that Contractor Sheridan has threat.
ened to sue the district for 1000
damages, but this Is hardly probable,
for the damages would seem to be
entirely on the other hand.
Since the electric motor In this OF.
fee was started yesterday several
citizens have called who contemplate
placing similar machines In their bus
mess houses to run light machinery
or in their residences for pumping
purposes. The motors 'work like a
charm" and are very easily and safe
ly handled, besides being clean and
taking little room. 1t IL the cheap
est power to be obtained, and within
n year there will doubtless be many
In operation in Lewistown. Supt.
Stone, OF the Citizens Electric Co., il
prepared to quote prices on all sizes
of motors from one horsepower up,

rent for all machines placed by them.
Those who may be interested in the
working Of the machines are invited

Scooped the first week. The big
gest mining deal In Fergus county,
that OF the Spotted Horse, received
no attention at the hands of our
esteemed contemporary. 1t is little
wonder that people are constantly
changing their allegiance from the

the news and they have to come to
the ARGUS to get it.

The officers OF the Citizens Electric

leaving their lights turned on even

the lamps, allowing themto burn con-
tinuously. This will result in a loss
to the patron, as lamps are warrant
ed but to last a given number OF hours,
and be rather a gain to the company
than otherwise, for they will have
the opportunity OF soone receiving
calls for new lamps, for which a
charge Is made. II patrons will turn
off the lamps when not In use they
will save money.

For several weeks the Graphic has earned the announcement of Mr. ". M. Toney as candidate for City Treasurer, but the customary editorial notice has not been pregi- ously given owing to the illness of the editor
 Mr. ToneY was candidate for thls position two years ago and was defeated by tho present incumbent by only narrow margin. Mir Toney says that he believes in the Democratic doctrine of rotation in office and be thinks three terms as treasurer are quite enough for any one man,

com mission. At that time Attoru- ey General Jeff Davis, the other member of the State Board of Elec tion Commissioners, was absent from the capital, so the matter of appointment went over until bis return. Upon his return he also declined to sign a commission for Fosters appointment, giving notice to the ring that he would not vote for the appointment of any man as eleetion. commissioner of Jefferson county whose work and influence would not have a tendency to re. store harmony among she Demo crats of the county, A number of names were suggested for appoint ment, and ffnally.fhe name of Mir
 Langford was agreed on.
 The Hon. ". H. Langfcrd is 8 man Of wealth, high standing and prominence taroughout the State
 He is also preslde..t of one of our leading financial institutions. He has a reputation to sustain. MT Langford is therefore in a position where he must see justice done. He cannot afford to allow his name to be attached to any office where dis, honesty is tolerated or fraud is winked at. His position in the commercial world and society is such that be must be like Caesars wife, "aboYe suspicion. His polit- ical ambitions and pecuniary inter- ests require it. His native honesty and sense of right and fair dealing as between Demecra IS will demand an honest and unswerving course. When the ring can't appoint men to tamper with the ballots of the peo- pie ana change returns, then it's power will be broken, And that time seems to be at hand; at least the entering wedge has been driven. Let us hope that the job will be made complete when the next cleo tion commissioners of Jefferson county come to be appointed.
