Aberdeen Weekly: If the people Of
Mississippi should be more or less
bored this year by the opportunities Of
candidates soliciting their votes, they
should remember first of all that man
is born to trouble as the sparks fly
upward; and then that they are just
twice as fortunate as their neighbors,
who have State elections every two
years, whereas the epidemic only hits
Us once in four years.

An Old Thought, Still it is Fresh.

We have been accused Of frenzy on
the question of gooG roads. This jour.
nal is modest, and does not claim a
monopoly of the idea of good roads as
a public benefaction. The matter OF
good roads is as trite and ancient as
the stream that washes the city :
shores. AS a watch and sentinel OF
public interests, we have urged the i'm.
portance of good thoroughfarcs. We
may be insane upon the subject, but
even at the risk of being condemned to
the iron cells OF Il lunatic asylum, We
still insist that good roads are press
ing want. There are many other
wants which are keenly felt, but none
that demands such arbitrary though
as the one which brings the town and
country into rear communication.
Every man entertains particular views
on the subject, and Of course he lrownS
upon any plan hat was not conceived
by him as being impractcable or Wis
ionary: Despite OF lnvidious criticism,
and with due regard to the opinions of
the useful gentlemen who believe tnat
their plans are transcendently the very
best that can be offered, this journal
holds and sticks to the belief that "A
few stall lwart and horny-handed farmers
could solve the question of good roads,
without regard TO the quips and quirks
OF picayune statesmen and so.called
economists of the public funds.

the native shacks of the town and finally
an order was received to burn
them. Then a wild scene ensucd. Be

searched them and MANY valuable finds
were made, Watches, jewelry, money,
fine clothes and such, bnt l could not
find any excuse for doing of it, so ! did
not enter house. 1t may be all right,
but l can't think that anything belongs
to me just because have run a man off
his own premises.
The battlefield, I suppose, was a typical
one. The dead lay the thickest where
they made their stands, and where they
were routed and retreated to another
emhankment The dead lay scattered
here and there thinly over their line of
retreat. Most of them, think fully SO
per cent of them, were shot through the
head, as that was the only part visible
They almost invariably shot too high to
do us much damage OH our firing line.
Most of our men were hit further back
along the line of reserves.
The prisoners we to took showed the
most abject fear, expecting of course as
soon as we got them. The women would
fall on their knees and beg for mercy, ,
expecting the same outrageous treatment
from lis as they received from the Span
ish soldiers when captured. They were
treated with the utmost courtesy and
taken to place of safety and sheltered
and fed.
The burying of the native dead was a
a most grusome sight. Where they lay
i'll their trenches thick enough, the dirt
was thrown on them just where they lay.
The scattered dead were gathered up
and the prisoners dug long trenches and
the bodies were laid in--I ought to say
| corded in--tour to six deep, and covered
| up. They were buried i'll their clothes
as they fell. one grave l saw had II2
bodies in it. l don't know whether that
was the largest one or not.

of the fight is true of the other parts OF
! the battle. We were in the center and
! they had a beautiful fight on each side OF
us. They had 45o naked savages with
bows and spears down in front of one of our
regiments, but $50 were killed and 900
are prisoners, and we have begun civili-
zing them by putting pants on them.
When they can stand it, suppose they
will add hat and then a necktie and so
on until they get them used to it.
No one can tell what the end will be,
but one thing is sure, we have enough
troops here to lick the entire outfit and
our boys are Just OH it enough to relish
the job"

pany and sent them, and the rest had to
be satisfied. I tell you men Of the right
kind will 90 any place and do anything
in battle, and Idaho did not develop a
single coward, thank God and our good
mountain air.
Another incident of the fight General
King was personally directing the troops
and he would give the order advance
and halt and fire and tt went all right
for about twice, and there the boys got
the bits in their teeth, and when he gave
the command to halt and fire. they
fred all right, but they didn't halt, and
he hegan to yell 'haltn haiti but it had
no effect. The boys Just went on, firing
as they went, and when he saw that they
were not going to stop he yelled out Go

off his cap and whirled it over his head

and hell can't stop them. Go it boys;

face was beautiful to see

rode out into the battle and back and
forth under thousands of guns. Cannon
balls whizzed passed him; shells exploded
over him; he was i'll perfect rain of bull
lets, and he paid no more attention to
them than man would to a fly.
Why, the bearing of that man would
make hero out of a coward.
And after the battle he came around to
see us and the boys sprang to their feet
to salute him. He said "sit down, boys
l want to salute you, for you are as brave
men as ! ever saw. You have not only
honored yourselves, but you have honor

Great Battle In Progress.

Special to Spokesmen-Review, dated
this morning, March 25th
A great battle is in progress. General
McArthur's whole division moved north
are cooperating. The line extends five
miles.
General Otis brigade is in the center,
General Wheaton's lin which are the
Washington volunteers) to the left, and
General Hale's to the right. We have
taken three lines of the enemyps trenches,
driving straight up the valley, the
Minnesota and Montana boys fanking
them from the east.
The enemy occupied crescent shaped
strip of woods. The Kansas regiment,
the Third artillery and the boys from
Montana drove the Filipinos out. The
enemy, probably 5000 strong, are in full
retreat toward Polo and Malolos. We
have probably smashed Aguinaldos plan.
One hundred and twenty five of the Fill
pinos are dead, fifty are prisoners and 500
are wounded. OF the Americans one is
killed and thirty are wounded.
General McArthur's division, consist
ing OF the brigades Of General Harrison,
Gray, Otis, General Hale and General
Hall, supplemented by General
Wheaton's brigade, advanced at day
light and cut the eneuiy's forces in two.
They captured the towns OF Polo and
Novalche on the left and San Francisco
del Monte and Mariquina on the right,
clearing the rebel trenches in front OF
| the line north from the river to Caloocaii.
They also secured possession of the rail-
road, practically cornering the flower OF
| Aguinaldo's army at Malabon and in the
| foothills at Singaloon, 20 miles apart.
The troops engaged were the Third ar
tillery, First Washington, Montana, Ne
braska, Wyoming, Colorado. South Dako-
ia, Minnesota and Oregon volunteers,
Third, Fourth and Seventh and Twenty
second regulars, the Utah artillery bat
talon and the Twenty-third regiment.
The American casualties were light.

Held for Burglary.

p. c. White and Robt. Stevens were
held by Justice Sweet for burglary thi.
morning. This is plain case of shop
lifting The defendants while making a
pretense of trading at Kjos' dry goods
store, concealed two suits of clothes and
escaped from the room with them. After.
wards the clothes were sold on the streets
The thieves were run down by Officers
Stonebraker and Gilman and the crime
was definitely fixed upon defendants.
These men will perhaps have a trial
at the present term of court. In fact the
case should have been disposed of in the
justices court. It is case OF petit lar.
ceny and as it is long it will cost ths
county good round sum. The case
should have been tried by the city tri

breaking rock or shoveling gravel as
penalty for the crime.

PURITAN OUT OF COMMISSION.

of congressional Action.

WASHINGTON, March 1.-The Navy
Department put the big double-turreted
monitor Puritan out Of commission at the
Norfolk navy-yard yesterday. and it is
said at the Navigation Bureau that this
ship must be followed by others speedily

according 10 the Navigation Department
officers. that a large part Of the North
Atlantic squadron must 50 out Of COM

1t is probable that the heavy reduction
Of enlisted men. and consequently Of
ships, will interfere seriously with the
conduct of the naval manOeuvres. An
other difficulty Is going to be the impos-
