If village improvement societies. to
make town more beautiful, why not
public progress boards to make it more
busy? Such society has just been
organized in Castine, Maine, and its
present purpose is to induce some
ship-building firm to locate its plant
in. that pretty town, which is a great
deal more likely to get its wish than
it would be if it sat down and waited
to be discovered. Many a decaying
place would be prosperous today if it
had sent its advantages to market in
stead of expecting some capitalist to
come after them with his own wagon.

Illinois Central Train Robbers
Pleaded Guilty and Are Sem
fenced to imprisonment.

Wickliffe, KY, Aug. 16.-The Bal
lard county grand jury Wednesday
returned an indictment against Chas.
w. Barnes and r. Mike Doyle, alias
Connolly, charging them with rob
berry of the Illinois Central express
train near here some weeks ago.
Barnes went before the court, pleaded
guilty and asked for mercy at the
hands of the IL jurors. In his short
talk to the court he referred to his
age, which is just p, and to his wife.
The lawyers for the prosecution made
a brief argument and the case was
given to the jury within one hour
from the times Barnes entered the
court room. The jury retired to their
room for elaboration and in a few
moments brought out a verdict fix
ing his punishment at ten years in
the state prison.
DOyle's case came up the first thing
in the afternoon and was quickly
disposed of. His lawyers made a
short speech, reciting the fact that
he was the first to confess and fur
nish information which led to the
arrest and conviction of Barnes. The
commonwealth made no argument and
the jury reached a verdict in his case
as quickly as in Barnes, giving him
four years in the penitentiary.

platform substantially as follows:
"The Democratic party is conduct
ing a direct attack upon the institu-
tions of our country. 1t advocates
dishonest money and threatens the
integrity of the judiciary.
"The republican party is conduct
ing an indirect attack upon the in
situations of our country. At home it
corrupts the public morals by sell
ing public offices and special privileges
to the highest contributors to party
assets; abroad, it wages wicked war
of conquest in violation of the prin-
ciples of the declaration of independ-
ence.
"No man serves well his country

THE FILIPINOS' FEARS.
Why the Leaders Have Not Taken
Advantage of Amnesty.
Gen. Pho del Pillar, Who Recently
Surrendered, Says That He
Wishes to Became n Good
American Citizen.

Washington, Aug. 14.-Copies OF
Manila papers received at the war de-
partment contain a letter purport-
ing to be from a personal friend of
Aguinaldo, which states that the Fill
pino chief does not take advantage of
the amnesty proclamation because
some time ago he gave orders to his
followers to break up into guerrilla
bands. The amnesty excerpts those
who violated the laws of war, and it
states that Aguinaldo fears that he
would be in the excepted class should
amnesty proclamation.
The letter is dated at Biac-No-Bato,
which is said to be the present pro-
visional headquarters of Aguinaldo.
1t states, however, that Aguinaldo
never stays more than one night in a
place and only a few hours in one
location. He allows no one to come
near him except his most intimate
personal friends.
A dispatch in one of the papers,
dated at San Pedro Macati, states
that Gen. Pho del Pillar, who recent
ly surrendered, says he wishes so be-
come a good American citizen, aDd
intends to accept the American terms
offered to his people. He said that he
would like nothing better than to
raise a regiment of native Filipinos
to serve in China

DISASTROUS WRECK.
Express Collides in a Fog
at PierSOn, Mich.-SeveraI Killed
and Many Persons Injured.

Grand Rapids, Mich, Aug. 16.-The
northbound Northland express, which
left this city at 4:O5, and passenger
train No. 8 Gollided in the fog early
Wednesday morning at Pie"son, 20
miles north of Grand Rapids. Nine
lives are supposed to have been lost
and many passengers were injured,
some severely,
The fremen of both engines are
been taken from the wreck, and it is
believed that the bodies of several
others are still buried in the mass of
broken iron and wood. Eight persons,
supposed to be fatally injured, were
taken to the hotel at Pierson. Men are
at work endeavoring to reach the
dead and injured who are still i'm
prisoned. Several physicians accom-
panied the wrecking train to the
scene.
When the trains met day was just
dawning and the fog was so thick
that engineers could not see more
than 100 yards ahead. The trains were
south of Pierson at 4:52. No. 2 was
evidently late and was trying to make
the siding at Pierson. The NOrthland
express had the right of way and was
going at nearly full speed. A tele-
phone message from PiersOn says that
the engineers and firemen of both
trains were killed, as well as five other
persons. The express train was made
up largely of Pullman cars. 1t car
ried the Grand Rapids coach, several
sleepers from Cincinnati and the
south, buffet car and the baggage car.
According to the railway officials,
the collision was the fault of Opera
tor Wells, stationed at Mill Creek,
four miles north of this city. An or
der was issued that they meet at
Woodstock, four miles north of Pier
son. Later, Operator Wells was ask
ed if the express had passed his sta
ton yet. He answered, "No." He
was then told to countermand former
orders and give orders to No. to
meet No. at Sand Lake. Similar or
ders were given to No. 2. Train five
never got the order, having already
passed Mill Creek. They collided,
therefore, while both were going at
full speed. The forward cars were
telescoped. The baggage, mail and
dining ears on No. saved the Pull
man in the rear and the passenger
coaches on No. 2 were saved by three
freight cars which happened to be
attached next the engine.

NEBRASKA
The LAND
OF PLENTY

wonder why it is that so many
men spend their days working hard
on rented farms, barely making
enough to get along, with no great
prospect ahead of owning their
own homes, when within a few
hours journey is a land of plenty
-NebraSka-where all kinds of
grain and fruit can be raised with
the least amount of labor; where
cattle and hogs fed on corn bring a
handsome profit; where the climate
is healthful and churches and
schools abound; where land is
cheap and can be bought on very
easy terms.
Think of this, and if you want
information about the country send
to me for "The Corn Belt" a
beautifully illustrated monthly
paper that tells all about Nebraska,
and also for "The West Nebraska
Grazing Country" an interesting
illustrated booklet containing a
large sectional map of Nebraska.
On the first and third Tuesdays
