The landowner Of Baca county is authorized to
purchase times the number of already held

Here is where the appraisers get in their fell work.
Baca county is sparsely settled. Probably 300

would have no difficulty in setting the values of
the lands adjoining those residents at a prohb-

+ Washington, Jan. 1O.-Senator Hoar,
of Massachusetts,, last night made pub
lie long letter he had addressed to
the editors of the Journal, Advertiser,
Herald and Globe, of Boston, in answer
to the speech made by eX-Representa-
tive Quigg at the Essex club on the
last Saturday in December. In this
speech Quigg, referring. to Senator
Hoar's attitude on the Filipino question
declared the senator wants us to
skulk from our duty Senator Hoar
says in part:
Il wish to put against this statement
my emphatic denial. What want the
American people to do in the Philip
pines is exactly what we have done and
are doing and expect to do in Cuba. 1

General Wood, General Miles or Admit
raj Dewey to Luzon. I would have
him gather cabinet of the best men
among the Filipinos, who have the
confidence of the people and desire
nothing but their welfare. / would
lend the aid of the army of the United
States only to keep order. I would
permit the people to make laws and adj
minister laws subject to some supervi-
sion and inspection until the disturbed
times are over. AS soon as it seems
that the government can maintain it
self peacefully in order, would by de-
grees withdraw the authority of the
United States, making a treaty with
them that we would protect them
against the cupidity of any other ma
law. would not hesitate to make
them the loan of moderate sum to
replenish their wasted treasury"

SPENDING MONEY IN IOWA.
The sQ'' Officials Preparing to Spend
S2.OOO,OOO on improvements.

Chicago, Jan. burlington officials
are preparing to spend $2,000,000 or
more on Improvements to the main line
OF the Burlington property in the cen-
trail part of southern Iowa. The pro-
posed Improvements contemplate a
shortening OF the line of about three
miles between the towns of Creston
and Murray, a marked reduction OF
many grades and an elimination Of
many dangerous curvatures. At pres
ent a force from the roads engineering
department is engaged in making pre-
liminary surveys in the Hawkeye state
for the purpose of arriving at a. reas-
onablv close estimate of the cost OF the
improvements. Calculating upon the
cost of previous improvements of a
similar character, the officials figure
that the track Strengthening, grade re-
duction and curvature elimination
will necessitate a financial outlay OF
not less than $2,00O,0OO The cost may
exceed that amount considerably. The
country between Creston and Murray
is rugged, and several bridges and
trestles will be built. A long iron
bridge will be constructed over The
Grand river at a difficult angle. The
proposed route courses thru num-
Der of hollows and over several of the
smaller tributaries of the Grand
river.
Said Chief Engineer Breckenridge
Wednesday: 1T is not known at this
time when the improvements will be.
begun. The time depends largely up
on the process of the surveyors. The
work will be part of our extensive
track revision, much of which already
has been done, and, aside from the
shortening process and lettering of
the railroad, double tracks will be
laid"

INSANE DOCTOR KILLS INFANT.

rfed to an Asylum.


Hampton, Jan. 10.-Dr. G. w. Apple
by, for several years the leading physi-
clan at Bristow, Butler county, last
evening in a fit of insanity killed
l1O-months-old child of Henry YEARLY,
of this place, while making an exam
ination of it in DR.. Hobson's office in
this city.
DIR. Appleby took the child in his
arms and handled it so roughly that
the parents protested, but to no avail.
Suddenly he put his thumbs under it's
chin and with his fingers on top of its
head crushed its face in so that blood
gushed out of its nose and mouth.
Then, Jumping up, he seized the child
by one foot and began swinging it
around his head, resisting all efforts
of the ,terror-stricken parents
to stop him, and it was not until help
was gotten that the child was taken
from him. 1t was dead, and when DR..
Rich, physician who had been called
in, prepared stimulant to administer
to it, DR.. Appleby knocked the spoon
on the floor, declaring that God had
taken the child.
The insane commission was immedi-
ately convened and at midnight DIR.
Appleby was on his way to the hospital
!, for the insane at Independence. Three
or four hours after the occurrence he
seemed comparatively rational and said
he knew what he was doing when he
killed the child, but could not help it.

Iowa City, Jan. Drank Novak, a
contractor and builder in this city,
has. been missino since last Tuesday.
He left home on that morning, saying
he was going to collect some money
which was due him for work done,
and his whereabouts since that time

that the bluecoats of the various police

Chicago University Enriched by Mu-
nihcent Donations.

CHICAGO, Jan. 1.-The University Of
Chicago has received New Years gift Of
s3,S7O.OOO. President Harper will make the
announcement tomorrow at the quarterly
convocation of the university In Stude-
baker Hall. The president hoped to an
nounce that the university would be 81, ,O0O,-
900 richer, but he has not been able to
raise the sS15,O0o which. duplicated by
John d. Rockefeller, would make UP that
amount. However. Mr.. Rockefeller has
wired that he will extend the limit three
months and In that time Dr. Harper thinks
he is reasonably sure of getting the rest Of
the money, as he has several large dona-
tions in prospect.
tour years ago Mr.. Rockefeller gave the
university s1,O0O.0OO and promised to dupli-
cate every amount donated before Jan. /,
1900, up to s2,0OO,OO0. One year DR.. Harper
had secured sl,lS5.OOo from various sources
to apply on the s2.000.000. Since then this
amount has been raised s55O.0Oo. 1t is un-
derstood that much of the money has come
from business men OF this city.

The gunboat Laguna de Bay bombarded
the town before the Decentralization of the
troops from cascoes. which was made un-
der the enemys shrapnel fire. The enemy
evacuated the place before the charging
Americans, retreating to Santa Rosa. to
which town they were pursued.
Heavy fighting occurred along the road
to Santa Rosa, which was occupied by the
insurgents retreating south toward Slang.

Inducements and thence came to Manila to

ments be detailed for the protection of Ma
Mia. Three thousand troops are now ac-
tually in the city.
