RECREATION AND HEALTH.

VIA" springs, lnuianss
Like the young man in springtime,
whose fancy lightly turns to thoughts
OF love" when summertime comes we
all turn our thoughts to the consider
aton of the important question OF
where we shall go for rest, recreation
and health.
There are all kinds of health and
pleasure resorts throughout this broad
iand or ours, some of them, unfortu-
hately anything but what their names
imply and apparently operated for no
other purpose than TO relieve the in
valid and pleasure seeker, financial

place where to use a popular express

One OF the most interesting, pictur-
esque and delightful places in this
country is unquestionably the resort
known as the Magno Mud and Lithia
water Cure, located at Indiana Nine
raj Springs, Indiana. Here come the

largely patronized by those who only
seek pleasure and recreation, its loca-
tion making ii particularly adapted for
this purpose. There are many roman
TIC and beautiful spots and places Of
interest in the vicinity and it would
be hard to find section OF country
containing so many beautiful drives.
The country is very hilly. but the
roads are all graveled and kept in
good condition. This is one of the
things that makes the place especially
attractive to those afflicted with rheu-
matism, as driving is about the only
outdoor pleasure one crippled with
rheumatism can indulge IN. Some Of
the cures effected are really marvel
Gus and many who have gone to the
Magno Mud Cure as a last resort have
returned home within few weeks
tlled with renewed health and
strength.
The accommodations. service, table
and attendance is all that can be de-
sired and the rates very reasonable
indeed. The Springs is under the able
management of Major II. l.. Kramer
and a postal card inquiry addressed
10 him will bring compete detailed
information as well as a copy OF the
"Mudlavia Magazine" a unique and
interesting publication.

Bolocd by Filipinos.

At Oroquieta, in northern Mindanao,
two soldiers entered native store for
the purpose of buying food. While
there one of them was killed by a bolo
and his head severed from his body.
The other escaped and gave the alarm.
A company of the 40th infantry, sta
toned at Cagayan, repaired to Oro-
quieta and killed 50 natives, 30 of them
being in single house. subsequently
the gunboat Callao, commanded by
Lieut.. Geo Il. Bradshaw, shelled Oro-
quieta, burning the warehouse. One
of the crew was killed. A force of the
enemy estimated to number 500, under
the leadership of Alvarez, formerly the
insurgent president of Yarbranga, is
now persistently troubling northern
Mindanao. A marine at the outpost of
Isabella de Basilan was boloed by ma
tives and so badly wounded that he
died. Isabella is tranquil

ure at Kansas City.
One OF the most conspicuous of the
western politicians at the Kansas City
convention was w. d. Oldham of Me-
braska. He has long been recognized
as one of the best political speakers In
the west. He has twice before been
a member of the national delegation.
Four years ago he belonged to the con-
testing delegation from that state,
which was shut out of the Chicago
convention at the beginning. AS he
expressed it in a recent speech before
the state convention, they went to Chi
cago without tickets, crawled under
the canvas in momentary fear that
some chap would apply neckyoke to
the back of their ears, but when they
finally got inside they captured the
whole show. Oldham has the reputa-
ton of being one of the homeliest
men in the state, and he is proud of II.
He is very careless in his dress and
has been variously taken for a cowboy
and farmer Oldham's oratory is OF
the evangelistic order. He has a COM
mand OF homely phrase, perfervid ex-
hortation and broad wit that has made
him popular favorite at every state
convention, and no gathering of that
sort takes place without a speech from
Bill Oldham. He is tall and heavily
built, and has all the "earmarks" of
the typical cowboy of the west in the
matter OF dress.

PORTO Rlco,s POPULATION.
Island Has 264 Persons TO the Square
Mile.

The results of the Porto Rican cen
sus. taken in October last, show that
the island has 953 ,243 inhabitants.
With a population of 264 to the square
mile Porto Rico is the only densely
peopled part of our new possessions.
There are good reasons why Porto
Rico should have far larger popula-
ton. in proportion to area, than Cuba.
The island was always the favored
colony Of the Spanish. For over two
centuries Spain invited colonization.
Lands were allotted gratis, while they
lasted. and settlers were exempt from
direct taxation. The interior, though
very hilly, is well adapted for small
farming. Most of the land is owned
by the peasantry in small holdings,
fruit farms predominating, though
there are many small coffee estates as
we'll as large and small farms raising
sugar, tobacco and cattle. This Is
the reason why fourffths of the popu-
lation is scattered through the rural
districts, and only one-fifth live in
the towns. Porto Rico is notably
country of small farmers. The island
is still growing in population. Since
1887 the density has increased from
900 to 2G4 to the square mile. With
good government, more schools, and
larger commercial opportunities, there
need be no pause in the development
of Porto Rico. But not a few observ-
ers believe the island has population
enough There is little prospect that
an increase in density would be advan-
taReOus.
