that although there is no guarantee that
Transvaal gold is of standard value, the
Portuguese government compels the loyal

giving the Republics every facility for

Wild Bills Monument.

W. E, Curtis, Of the Chicago Rec
ord, writes concerning the monument
to a former Abilene hero at Dead
wood, South Dakota:
"Wild Bill" Hickok is buried near
the Rev. Mr.. Smith, and his grave is
also marked by bust carved by the
same artist and erected by an ad-
mirer. The stone has been very bad
ly mutilated-the nose, ears, mus
tache and other features have been
Clipped off and two revolvers which
were carved on the stone to indicate
the profession Of the deceased are
nearly gone. "Wild Bill" was sitting
in a saloon in Deadwood playing cards
on Aug. 2, 1876, when tough named
Mccall shot him in the back and
killed him. Mccall was arrested,
tried by Judge Lynch and acquitted
on his own statement that ovid
Bill" had murdered his brother in
cold blood in Abilene, and that he
had followed him to the Black Hills
as the representative OF the family to
secure revenge. The jury Of miners
and gamblers who heard the case con-
sidered this sufficient justification,
but the officers Of the law did not, for
when Mccall arrived at Laramie City
on his journey out Of the Hills he
was arrested, sent to Yankton, con-
victed and hanged. The inscription
upon Wild Bills monument is: "Cus.
ter was lonely without him." This
probably means Gen. Custer, for
whom "Wild Bill" served as a scout
during the military campaign of
1868 in Kansas.

AMERICANS AMBUSHED.


Manila, Aug. 6,-There has been an
increase Of lnsurgent activity during
the last three weeks, especially in the
way of ambushcs and attacks upon
small parties. First Lieut. Alstciter,
of the engineer corps, with an escort
Of Is men, was taken in ambush in the
province of Nueya Eoiia, Luzon, by a
large force. The Americans fought
until their ammunition was gone, and
as they we're surrounded, there was
nothing TO do but surrender. One
man was killed and three were
wounded. Gen. Lacuna, who was in
command of the insurgents, re-
turned the wounded with a letter
promising to treat the prisoners well.
Lieut.. Bocton Iulesberg was am
pushed and killed near Santa Cruz,
province of Laguna.
Five men of Twenty-fourth infantry
were captured in Neuva Eoila, but
Sergt. Schmidt, OF the Twelfth in
fantry, with seven men, trailed the
captors and killed five.
Capt. Lara, Of the Manila native POI
lice, was dangerously shot by an UNI
known assailant Saturday while on
the street. He had been effectively
enforcing regulations and had made
enemies among the Fillpinos, some OF
whom have long threatened venge-
ance. Lara had been generally ac-
cused Of gross corruption in office and
specific charges were filed against
him by an American officer.
At the suggestion of Archbishop
Chappelle, Judge Taft has been ex-
aiming the heads of the religious or
ders, as well as Mgr. Nozaledas and
other ecclesiastlcs, preparatory to
the time when 1t will be necessary
to take definite action regarding the
affairs Of the church. II appears that
the real estate holdings of the friars
are smaller than had been expected.
On September the commission,
headed by Judge Taft, will become the
legislative body Of the Philippines.

Is A MODEL ROUTE.
Postofics Department Will Advertise
the Mukinson Route.

The new rural delivery route north.
east OF town to begin August Is is
meeting with approval everywhere.
F. M. Dice, agent in charge Of this
division, headquarters at lndianap'
oils, Ind, writes to the Kansas
special agent:
"The shape Of this is so much in
accordance with my ideas Of what a
rural free delivery route should be
that | am inclined to recommend that
this route be autographed and made
the model map Of the middle division
in the printed Instructions that will
be issued within the next 80 days"
A map Of the route will be litho'
graphed and sent all over the coun'
try.
Much interest is taken in this route,
the first in the county. Wherever
these routes have been established in
the east they have resulted in added
business for the towns from which
they start. The carrier is also pur-'
chasing agent and buys many things
for his patrons and the existence Of
the route makes unnecessary many
small postoffices and stores which
take some local trade.
Petitions are being prepared for q
route through Hayes township and it
is probable that there will be one
northwest Of Abilene and two south
OF the city.

with power to take and appropriate
insular moneys, to establish 1ndiclai
and educational systems and to make
and pass all laws.
No money will be permitted to be
drawn from the insular funds except
by authorization of the committee.
Judge Taft and bis colleagues will
also exercise certain executive func-
tions For instance they will appoint
Judges, officials in the educational de-
pariment and officers of municipalis
ties. which the commission establish
pending elections. Gen. Macarthur
will be the executive head to enforce
the laws of the commission and he
will conduct the government In ac-
cordance with the same until the COM
mission recommends to President Nc
Kinley the appointment of a civil gov.
ernor.
The only three banks in Manila
have formed u ring to reduce arbi-
trarily and without justification the
rate of exchange for American gold.
This has caused widespread indlgna-
ton and many difficulties for com
nerce and minor business. The
banks, however, are obdurate.

THEY ARE ALL RIGHT.
New Map and Atlas Of the County q
Good One.

Some papers Of the county have
evidently become tangled up on the
new atlas company, Geo. A. Ogle u
Co., that is making a new map and
atlas Of Dickinson county and the
various townships and towns. The
company is reliable one and its To-
cal manager, Chas. Vanderhoof, is a
gentleman who can be trusted. The
atlas and map are badly needed and
they will be appreciated all over the
county. The work will be done thor.
oughly and will be creditable to the
publishers and to the county. 1t will
be perfect in all its details and we'll
worth its cost. Everybody can count
on being treated squarely by this
company.
