PAID THE JUDGMENT.
End Of the Suit Against Sidney
Stevens.

Yesterday afternoon the attorneys
for Sidney Stevens paid over to Sheriff
Layne the sum of s3.721.27 and costs in
satisfaction OF the judgment held by
the Deering Harvester company VS..
Sidney Stevens, and for the satisfaction
of which a sensational case was filed
Thursday against Stevens, the Sidney
Stevens Implement company and the
various members thereof and asking for
the appointment of a receiver. The
original judgment against Stevens
amounted TO $685.. 81 plus the costs of
the suit, and an execution was issued,
but the Sheriff failed to find any prop
erty to satisfy the same. The COM
pany then brought suit alleging that
Stevens had decided away his property
TO defraud his creditors, and asked
that the transfers be set aside, and a
receiver appointed. Stevens now
comes into court and pays the amount
of Judgment, which will undoubtedly
result in the dismissal of the case.

Mysterious Movement of Troops

Especial Correspondence,

Manila, P. l., Nov. For the first
time since last February Manila has
been fully awake and the great mill
tary engine is in full action. The final
roundup of the Filipino insurrection
is on. The commanding general quietly
sat in his Office during the rainy months
saying nothing. trusting no one, always
studying his maps. He has now put on
his war paint, taken UP his spear, and
something is going TO drop.
1t started about a week ago, when all
the editors of the local press were CALI
ed up before General Schwan and or
dered to say nothing more of any char
acter relating to the movement Of the
troops General Wheaton and Major
Shields were seen riding about Manila,
where they have not been visitors for
several months. Why was the general
in the city? No one seemed to know,
and the gossipers Immediately supposed
that he was under arrest and was wait
ing for courtmartial. They never
dreamed of the moves that were heing
formed.
Air of Mystery.
Visitors at the palace in the mornings
saw the general and his chief of staff
enter the private Office of General Otis
ami at noon they saw him leave. Staff
officers who have been accustomed to

with you about the war and it's termt
nation now have nothing TO say. and
they rush past their friends with an
important air, clearly showing that
they have something to conceal which
they are fearful will escape.
The population has been so accustom-
ed to the alarms and terrors of war
that they have sunk into state of in
difference and they hear the heavy can
nonading of armies at contest with a
curse, and growl because ii disturbs
their slumber, but they do not care and
do not ask how tho battle goes. But
now they have awakened from their
long sleep and are looking with wonder
ing eyes upon the silent lines of grey
that steal through their. streets in the
early dawn.
A Midnight Departure.
Saturday night people who use hancos
and cascos were surprised to find them
all gone from their usual places along
the water front. Officers of the quar-
termasters department were gone from
their offices. Along about midnight
there arose from nowhere a whole bri-
gade in marching order It tramped
through the streets of Old Manila down
to the wharf. First came a thousand
infantrymen with the swing and regu-
lar cadence of the regulars. the old.
seasoned men who have lost all interest
in the world save to keep their shooting

LAID OUT THE TRACK.
r. G. W. Locates Spur to the New
Canning Factory.

The engineers of the Rio Grande
Western, accompanied by John E.
Dolly, came up from Salt Lake yester-
day and went out to the site of the pro-
posed canning factory and tin can man
ufactory just west of the city. near the
Adams farm. The location of the var
ious buildings was definitely settled,
and the engineers staked out a spur
from the Rio Grande Western track to
the site. The spur will be constructed
at once. so as to be ready to transport
building material and machinery.
Mr.. Dolly returned to Ogden and
spent some time in conference with w.
F. Adams over the details of the en-
terprise. L. B. Adams and Mr.. Clark,
who went east last week to purchase
machinery, are expected back in about
ten days.
1t was learned from the gentleman in
terested that the Short Line will also
construct a spur to their plant at an
early date.

Injudicious Use of Water.

Many of the valleys of the mountain
states are being injured seriously by the
injudicious use of water. Wherever the
soil contains alkal it is being brought
to the surface when too much water is
applied. and the land thereby rendered
infertile. More than one-third of the
country depends upon the success of irri-
cation to maintain the people. the in
dustries and the political institutions OF
that area and future growth viii also
be measured by the increase of the re-
claimed area. In a region which in the
extent and diversity of its mineral wealth.

tho mines In the hills are already sur
passes by the productions of the irriga ed
farms in the valleys. and the nation at
large is at last awakening to the fact
that the development of the use of the
rivers and the arid lands of the west will
constitute one of the most important
epochs in our increase in population and
material wealth.

OUR MuLEs WE'RE IN IN.

The United States appears, despite
its attitude of neutrality, to have Con-
tributed materially to the disaster
whereby our British cousins lost e v
eral battalions and a battery to the
Beers. The mules which stampeded
with that battery are alleged to have
been OF genuine Yankee origin. We all
know that when a drove Of Missouri,
Texas or Kentucky mules sets out on a
stampede, the stampeding is bound to
be done in such a thorough-going man
ner as shall reflect no dishonor upon
either the mules ancestry or the
American flag. Heads down and tails
aaoat, the chase which those battery
mules led the soldiers, who vainly
tried to check Or head them of, must
have been long, hilarious and exciting.
The excitement doubtless remained,
il the hilarity vanished, when the Brit
ishers found that the "blarsted bron-
cos" had betrayed them into the hands
OF the Beers. Whether John Bull will
file a claim for damages against Broth
er Johnathan for thus giving aid and
comfort to the Beers remains to be
seen. But our sellers of mules had
better be ready with their explanations
and apologies il they would not lose
John Bulls patronage. And Britons
will learn, from this incident, to be-
ware not only OF 'the bear that walks
like a man." but the mule that kicketh
up its heels and runneth like q dog
with a can tied to its tail.

must adapt their requirements to the
advanced needs of civilization, and 1

There are very few people who will
not agree, either wholly or in part,
with DIR. Nightingale's statements. In
the days when Latin, Greek and for
NAL mathematics were allowed to form
the chief paru of the college course,
there was not SO much knowledge in
the world as there is now, nor was
knowledge increasing ut the rapid rate
that it is at present. It was consider
ed desirable in those days that a youth
should spend four years under the in.
huence of a university, and it was
somewhat of a problem to provide suf-
fcient subjects of study to fill up those
four years. Under these circumstances
Latin, Greek and mathematics were
considered excellent food for the mind.
Again in those days and in fact until
quite recently, the majority of college
graduates entered the professions, and
to these men classical subjects were of
value. Now, however, nor than two
thirds of the graduates of our big uni
versities go into business. These men
have little time for Latin and Greek,
and prefer to spend their valuable four
years in college on scientific subjects,
which they believe better fit them for
practical life. This busy world is too
much alive to trouble itself much with
dead languages.

e SUPPLEMENT-.

The Courier's supplement for this
week will contain the conclusion of the
much talked about serial story, "In
His Steps" This story has been of en-
.trancino interest to Courier readers,
and they will welcome the announce
Imept that it is to be followed by one
equally interesting. Next weeks sup.
plement will contain the first Install
ment of "An African Farm" by Olive
|Shreiner. This is an old story and
Miss Shreiner's masterpiece.
The tale is an interesting and absorb
ing one at any time. So much SO that
it has won high place up in the list
of books that are worth reading. AT
this time it is doublv interesting. The
book should be read not only for en-
tertainment, but for instruction.
We have made arrangements to al
|low,our readers the opportunity to read
it. The story will be published entire
in the Courier as a serial. Look out for
the first chapters.
In addition to the regular features
this weeks supplement will also con.

A A c

1t took centuries of slow development
in England and other centuries in
America to qualify the people of our
original thirteen states for the franz
ing and conduct of a republican form
of government. Isn't there, then, an
excess of self-abasement-of deprecia-
ton of our Anglo-Saxon, Dutch and
German and Scandinavian ancestry
in the claim put forth by the advocates
of immediate independence for the
Philippines, that, without any such
training in the school of the ages
the Filipinos are capable of at once
organizing and conducting such a
government? Are those Tagals, then,
in fact, a superior race to our own?
Do they come, by virtue of their Ma
lay origin, at once into a heritage of
organizing, constructive and admins
tratiye ability which we-poor plod-
ders that we have been-could only
acquire by the slow process wherein
our institutions have broadened down
from precedent to precedent" The
American followers of A%guinaldo must
either answer this question affirmative
ly, RELOCATING our own people to a po-
sition of natural inferiority as COM
pared with the Malay races, or they
must concede the necessity of Ameri-
can tutelage in the Philippines if a free
republican government is to be there
established.
