FOUND HIS DEAD BODY.
Farmer Killed and Terribly Bruised by
an Infuriated Bull.

Neillsvilie, Wis, May 5.-The finding
of the lifeless body of John Kubat in Q
pasture near his home near this city
dispels the mystery of his disappearance
twenty four hours earlier. 1t now ap-
pears that unknown to his family Ku-
bat went to the pasture to make needed
fence repairs and that while thus en-
gagged was attacked by a vicious bull
and killed in a desperate encounter.
That Kubat struggled heroicly for his
life is evidenced by the fact that the
ground around a tree near which the
body was found is torn in a complete
circle by the hoofs of the infurated bull,
While close to the tree is a well-worn
path made by the old gentleman in his
efforts to escape. A coroners inquest

No Complaints from Manila.
Il am glad to be here among my old
comrades who know what war is. and
can appreciate its difficulties and draw
backs. and know you are thinking to-
night of our soldiers in far-off Manila,
and thinking Of them with pride ! as
sure you that while they have had
n-any hardshfps incident to the tropical
climate, etc, there has been not one
complaint from that army of $4,000 men.
They have taught the world that to
face an American army is to face that
which is invincibIe.
Need of Preparation for War.
I'VE have learned during the past
year the necessity to be prepared for
war. Our soldiers landed in Cuba the
22nd of June. and on the 18th of July
more of the enemy surrendered to them
than there were of them. There is
bound TO be privation and sufferings in
the field. Some people thought the SOL
diers were not well treated, and made
much of the fact that some of the beef
spoiled; but the boys didn't murmur. 1
hope that these things have taught us
TO always be prepared for emergencies.
We cannot look far into the future. but
we believe that what is governed by =.
hand higher than ours will be for the
best.
Flag Will Stay Where 1t Flies.
II trust that our flag, wherever it has
been placed. will never be hauled down.
We are going to stay in those far-off
stands with our forces until those peo-
PIE are able to govern themselves. The
