In regard to the shooting of Henry
Scott, late of Willmar, the coroner's
jury at Benson entered the following
verdict: "'That the said Henry Scott
came to his death by means and as the
result of gun shot wound inflicted
upon him at the village of DeGraff

returns of the recent teachers exami-

whole they make a very good show.
ing. Out of the SO teachers who took
the examin ations, seven applicants
for second-grade certificates failed
who previously held them and ten who
never held them before. Of the seven
applicants for first grade, three failed
to pass. There were q who applied
for third grade, of which only eight
failed.
The annual report of the county
superintendent of schools will be found
elsewhere in this issue. Mr.. Fink is
to be congratulated upon his efforts
to secure much-needed Improvement:
for our country schools. The matter
of school grounds is a very importan
one, and it is to be regretted that sc
many of our schools show a deplor
able state of affairs in this respect
If the school officers would take thu
proper steps, there would be a won
derful transformation in the rura
schools of Kandiyohi county.
Peter Freeberg, who was an alter
nate to the populist state convention
from Willmar, wandered over to St
Paul and managed to get into trouble
with the police, at one time standing
off four cops. Peter admits having
had a few drinks, but believes that h
was drugged. He was released i'm
mediately. Owing to the fact that Mr.
Freeberg, although not prohibition
ist, still is known to favor a "dry'
policy for the village, the whiskey or
gans of Willmar published his case
with great gusto, obviously for th'
purpose of proving that people wh<
advocate no-license are insincere
It is we'll that their judgment is no

FILIPINOS PLOT.
To Start an Uprising in the
City of Manila.
Document of Late Date Over
AguinaIdO's Signature.

Washington July 21.-The secretary
of war has been furnished with copies
of some interesting documents relating
to an alleged plot against the authori-
ties in Manila, which were discovered
in the district of San Miguel. The secret
service department under Lieutenant
Charles r. Trowbridge of the Eleventh
cavalry, early in June, stumbled upon
an insurgent recruiting office, situated
in an isolated locality where the work
might be carried on without attracting
notice. One room of the house was fit
ted up as an office and large quantity
of blank forms bearing the headline
Republican Filipana' were found In
a cupboard which had been securely
fastened Trow bridge and his men dis
covered a large quantity of papers, all
of recent date the LATEST being dated
June Z, They consisted of orders from
Aguinaldo and letters of encouragement
and instructions from that leader and
other insurgent chiefs. A document
which excited great deal of interest
was one which contained the details of
a plot arranged evidently early In June
to excite an uprising in Manila The
plan contemplated an attack upon the
force in the city and the seizure of arms
and ammunition. Another paper of in
terest is translated as follows:
we will not be slaves. let the Fill
pinoS stand together and battle for
their liberties. Already they have laid
the corner stone of their liberties and it
will not be long before the nations of
the world will recognize their strength
The blood of innumerable martyrs bears
ample testimony to the Filipinos' love of
freedom and their determined purpose
not to cease struggling for it. Shall
they allow the Americans to exercise
uncontested sway over the fair Fill
pinoS? If they do then the fate of the
American redmen is theirs and even
tually a reservation will be assigned to
them. Brothers, our cause is just;
therefore, let US continue as a. thorn in
the side of our oppressors and strike
where we dare, sparing neither men, wo
men, children nor old people. Those who
stay by each other in hours of adverSi-
ty are sure to conquer in the end

Washington, July 21.-Admiral Dewey
says he is out of politics, and he re-
spectfully declines to discuss or even
consider the suggestion that he might
have a presidential nomination at the
hands of those who refuse to accept
either Mckinley or Bryan.
The admiral spent the greater part
of to, day in town, and several of his
friends mentioned the favorable men,

the meeting of the anti-imperialists in

by saying he could not subscribe to the

and often rode with him on the march.
Among the stories told of Young is
how he fed the troops when they We're
isolated up in the mountains back Of
San Fernando and without food. There
was q quiet conference one day be-
tween Lawton and Young, and the
scout soon disappeared. After some
hours he returned with three wild ma

along a detachment of armed soldiers,
Young again disappeared and at night
returned with a small drove of the Wild
natives. each bearing a load Of carabao
meat. At another time there was a
water famine, and Young saw some
soldiers struggling over a pool Of fetid
swamp water which was no better
than poison for drinking purposes. He
rushed among them and said. There's
plenty of good water a mile ahead"
They found that he told the TRUTH but
he had not been to the front.
Like all great scouts, Young was as
silent and grim as an Indian. Only
once in all the campaigning in LuZon
did he show signs of human feeling.
That was when he shot Filipino and

for the fact that they and herself are
Christian in their whole nature. That
is the salvation of such a girl as Faith,
and Mr.. and Mrs. Kirk seem to be
peacefully sure of the fact. All of the
children are members of the church,
and all three of them are very evident
ly proud of their father and OF what he
has done.
You ask, What has Malcolm Kirk
done?
I'm the first place, in spite of what
seemed like impossibilities, he succeed
ed years ago in building Il church and
parsonage. both of which had been
burned down, it is supposed, by the
whisky men during the fight which
went on before the amendment was
carried. The church is a comfortable
structure, seating 300 or 400 people,
with several classrooms attached. The
parsonage is n good house of eight
rooms, fairly Well furnished, although
Kinks peculiar habits of generosity
have not permitted anything approach
ing luxury even in the slightest degree
But the building Of the church and
parsonage is in one sense the very
smallest thing that Kirk has done. 1t
is not too much to say that he and his
wife have revolutioniZed the moral
life Of this whole town. When they
came here about 20 years ago, they
found community of 1900 people. A
great amount OF liwlcss. thougatless
houses, the cheap resorts of amuse-
ment Kirk and his Wife, after pass
ing through al experience of great
Suffering and temptation. most of
which E.s,s always been unknown even
10 their own people, came out OF their
atiliction with astonishing power over
the life of the place. There is no Ques-
ton that the very thinking of the peo-
pie here is shaped by Malcolm Kirk S
Christianity. The promise he and his
Wife made when they came here has
been constantly in mind. The number
of lost men and boys who have been at
tracted to Kinks ministry and to Mrs.
Kinks singing and playing and led to
Christ is amazing. Even the business
and politica. life of the town has been
shaped by Kinks purpose in life. That
means great deal. as any one will &C.
