BLouDIEsT WEEK.

Philippine War Becomes Interesting
Once More.
MANIEA, April 24.-Last week was
cne of the bloodiest of the war since
the first days fighting around Manila
Authentic reports, mostly official, show
a total of 37s Filipinos killed, twelve
officers and pa men captured and
many more wounded. Tie number
wounded is hardly guessable. Consid-
ering that the Filipinos entirely lack
hospital facilities, a great majority of
the wounded will die. Probably the
weeks work finished 1000 insurgents.
The American loss was nine killed and
sixteen wounded.

There is a general desire for de-
cision by the Supreme Court of the
United States to determine the ques-
ton whether the new island posses
sions are part Of the United States,
or it's property. 1t was thought that
suit brought by New York firm Of
importers to recover duties paid on
Puerto Rican goods might furnish a
basis for the desired Interpretation;
but this suit has been halted by the
refusal of the lower court to grant the
injunction which was applied for. A
case has now arisen at San Francisco,
occasioned by the collection Of ton
mage dues on vessels from Hawaii, in
the same manner as from foreign
countries, which may afford an oppor-
tunity for the settlement of the broad
constitutional question.

Anti-Am arican Feeling Based on tbs
Conditions in Hawaii.
LONDON, April 23.-The Daily Mail
publishes letter from Yokohama
describing the growth of anti-Aner-
lean feeling" in Japan. The writer
says: "This development is due to the
harsh treatment the japanese have re-
ceived in Hawaii and to the belief that
the United States will stop Japanese
immigration to Hawaii. The feeling
is calculated to lead to a deplorable
war of tariffs and to retaliatory re
strictions.' .

BREyIrIEs.

David Ahlers, well-to-do German
south of Dysart, few days ago,
by deliberately throwing himself in
front of a north-bound passenger train
on the B., c. r. & N. The engineer
saw the man walking on the track to-
wards the train. After repeated
warnings, which failed to make him
leave the track, the train was stopped
only a few feet from him. Ahlers then
stepped off the track, but when the
train started up again he plunged

body was horribly crushed and
mangled. Ahlers was married man,
SO years of age. Domestic troubles are
assigned as the cause for his act.
I Des Moines dispatch: The local
authorities all over the state seem i'm
pressed with the notion that the state
board of health can help them in car

ter of fact it cannot. 1t cannot com
pei local health Office to perform any
act. 1t is authorized to make legisla-
ton for the management of infectious
diseases when they appear, but it can
only rely on local health authorities to

fail to do SO, the remedy lies with the
citizens, who may, if they choose,
compel the authorities, by mandamus
to perform their duty. The number
of cases of smallpox in the state now
is said to be greater than in many
years and they are widely scattered
The disease is in mild form, and few
deaths have resulted. There are TWEEN.

The governor has signed the bill by
Representative Miller of Fayette, re-
quiring that teachers in the public
schools shall be instructed in the rudi-
ments of music. It is not necessary
that they shall be singers or perform
ers on any instrument, but they must
understand the rudiments of the art
of reading music. The governor Sc
riously considered the advisability Of
vetoing the bill. but found that Presi-
dent Seerley of the state normal school
among others, endorsed it very strong
ly. Finding considerable sentiment
among teachers themselves in favor Of
the measure, lie concluded to allow 1t
to become law.

The Democrats in congress have decided
to vote against the resolution proposing to
mend the constitution. giving congress
the control of legislation relating to trusts
and corporations. 1t has been suspicion
ed for some time back that the Democratic
leaders were not sincere in their profess
sions as to legislating in relation to vast ag-
gregations of capital. Their course has been
one simply for campaign and political pur-
poses and now that they find the Republi-
cans taking practical course in the mat
ter they commence to hedge as usual.
Democracy is getting into box at a time
it prefers to escape such condition. But
there is no escape from the dilemma. Be-
fore congress adjourns it will have to go
on record for or against practical legisla.
ton regarding great combinations of capt.
tai, and on that record it will have to face
the country in the campaign. From
present indications it looks as though
Democracy would take the "of" side as
usual

The Wells Forum thinks that as the Re-
publican ticket is being suggested, it
is punched too much, and will not prove as
strong as it otherwise might. 1t claims
that the third and fourth districts will not
be represented upon the ticket at all. But
the ticket as located by the Forum. is
simply pre-convention affair, and the
convention is very likely to change it some
what The third district is actively in the
field with one or two candidates for rail-
road and warehouse commissioner, and
will make big effort to land one of them.
But supposing some one of these districts
should happen to be left out, wherein
would it be any worse than it has been for
the second district in times past, and it
never bolted the ticket because of it. But
it is likely the convention will carefully
scatter the ticket over the state, so as to
give it the greatest possible strength.

Congressman McCleary has introduced
bill in the house for the determination OF
the increase of pension for widows who are
ap plicants for pensions. 1t provides that in
the estimation of the annual income of a
widow claiming pension under the act of
1890, and whose income is derived from
farming land, the net annual income from
said land shall be determined by the pen
sion bureau by ascertaining the fair aver
age cash rental of farming land of the
same character in the locality where the
farming land of the claimant is located,
from which shall be deducted the amount
of taxes on said land and interest on any
mortgage or other indebtedness of the
claimant.
