Bishop Potter pays high tribute 10
the character and qualities Of the rank
and file of our army in Manila. he
saws. in effect, that no one who mas
seen our soldiers in the Philippines
and has noted their splendid physique
their attention to duty, and the high
average of intelligence existing among
them, can fail to have an Increased
pride in our army and a profound faith
in their capability to do whatever Is
required of them. He saw our soldiers
in many places, under all varieties o.
circumstances, during his stay in Ma
Mia, but not one among them "h'
reflected dscredit upon himself or hi

Reports from the far northwest
show that there may be some sur
prises in the cleanup in the various
mining camps. The Klondike is sure
to yield many more millions than last
season, because of the labor saving
machinery, such as devices for rapid
tbawine of the frozen earth and Tor
bringing the earth to the surface. Al
Atlin, it is asserted on good authority
the bench claims will yield from 81
TO s12 a cubic yard, and the Spruce
Creek bench claims will produce U.s.

How is this for a bridal trip? asks
the Washington Evening star. A
young couple went to Flagstaff, Ariz.,
bought q couple of big wagons and
teams of mules, hired a couple OF
teamsters and a good cook and start
ed south for Phoenix. The principal
wagon was rooted with canvas and
the trip is described as ideal. NO MES
or mosquitoes, good hunting, and the
light of love" combining with tha'
from moon and stars. Upon arrival a.
Phoenix the wagons were sold at al
advance, and the couple proceeded D!

The marriage of the Crown Prince OF
Japan to his cousin seems to nave
been a mixture of Japanese and Euro
mean ceremonies. Thus, the bride and
bridegroom were married in the an
cient court dress, and afterwards DON
ned western costume, and there was a
wedding breakfast with wedding cake
The actual marriage ceremony in Ja-
nan is very simple. It's distinguishing
feature is what is termed the Saa-sar
Ku-do-that is, literally, three times
nine times" because both the bride
groom and the bride drink three times
out of each of three wine-cups of diff
ferent sizes, making nine times in all
or. rather, they do not drink, but onl!
lift the cups to their lips. The wine
is sake. mild alcoholic liquor.

An official report from Rome SHOWS
us how the citizens of the various

the matter of letter-writing. England
leads the van, with fifty-nine missives

many with thirty-three, Denmark with
thirty-one, Austria with twenty-seven'
Holland with twenty-three, Belgium

The British government appears to
be responsible for the famine in India,
or at least to have made the famine
possible. through the very benehcence
of its rule. Before the British occu-
patton, incessant wars and terrible cpl
denies kept the country thinly popu-
lated. so that the natural products oil
the soil were usually sufficient to reed
the inhabitants. But British rule mas
established peace and diminished the
ravages of plague. The consequence
has been such an increase of popula
ton that India is one of the mos
crowded countries in the world. Th'
productivity OF the soil has nearl!
reached its limit. Nevertheless, tn
British government is not to bt
blamed. unless we adopt the mons
trous doctrine that wholesale massacr
is a blessing.

8. A. r. AND JULY 4Tn.
Three Days That VIII be Remem.
bered for Entertainment.

The committee on subscriptions
for the G. A. R. encampment, ami
versary Of the battle of Santiago and
Fourth Of July celebration ir this
city of Monday, Tuesday and We'd
nesday, July I'd, Sd and 4th, has
been doing some good work during
the past week, in the line of secur-
ing subscriptions for the payment
of attractions to be here during
those three days. The committee
is not quite through with it's work,
and when it is completed, the full
subscriptions list will be published.
AS pointer that there is genuine
liberality on the part of most, if not
all of the business men, it is only
necessary to state that three
mercantile houses alone went down
for $105, while two other concerns
sent this amount up to $3.50, and the
liquor establishments will donate in
the neighborhood of $3.50 or 5000
for the purpose. Other business
houses are giving down as literally,
in proportion, and the entertainment
and attraction committees will have
no cause for complaint on the ground
of a shortage ir finances for securing
attractions, in case the soliciting
committees work continues as well
as commenced.
A contract was entered into last
Saturday whereby the Belview
band of II pieces, composed of lead
ing musicians of Belview and Echo,
will be present and render music
all day Of the Fourth, and with the
Redwood band, which will be en-
gagged for two or. three days, there
will he plenty of music for the
occasion. One or more drum corps
will also be present. It is the in
tention of Bandmaster Coucheron
of the Redwood band to have all
the instrumental organizations join
in the patriotic selections at different
times during the Fourth.
The orator for July 4th has not
yet been engaged, but among the G.
A. r. orators that will be present
on one or more days of the encamp-
ment will be Department Comman-
der G.. S. Ives of St. Peter, Capt.
VanSant, and others. There will
be vocal and instrumental music
at the park during all three days.
The street attractions will be-
among the finest that money can
secure, while the contests will be
open to all. For further particulars
watch newspapers and small bills,
and make up your mind to take in
the biggest event in South western
Minnesota on July 4th next by com
ing to Redwood Falls, where nature
always lends her charm to the
celebration.

secl res Light Sentence for Louis Comenico
Tor Assault and Battery on Wife.

There was trouble for the Italian col
ony of fruit merchants at Skowhegan,
Friday night. Some months ago, Katie
Margri. who stays with her sister,
Mrs Domenico, wife of the proprietor
of the Water street fruit store told her
husband Louis that he might take his
clothes and go and she didn't care II
he never came back.
But Louis returned, last week. and
wished to hire out with Domenico.
This he could not do, but he stayed in
the Domenico household two nights.
Friday night. Mrs. Margri again told
him to leave but he would not. Mrs.
Domenico also used her persuasive elo
ouence. but Louis refused. From
words they soon came to blows and
Mrs Domenico called the police and
Officer Clifford and Night Waterman
Turner called Louis to arise, dress ana
follow them to the cooler"
This he did. and, Saturday. was he-
fore Justice Priest in the grand jury
room to answer to a charge of assault
and battery upon Mrs. Domenico. For
rest Goodwin appeared for the State
