AN AGED VETERAN.
4 Detroit Veteran Talks of the Ware
and the Legacy 1t Left Him.


When the Annual Reunion of the G..
\. L. is held, Michigan is always well
represented. Around the camp fires OF
the encampment our boys tell of the
hardships they have gone through and
the listener who knows nothing of war
will wonder how they lived To tell the
tale. Few men, who followed old glory
and escaped the shot and shell, re-
turned home without some legacy as a
constant reminder of their war days.
Our representative found Veteran o. p.
Newcemb, of Detroit, at his place Of
residence, No. 237 Second street. Mr..
Newcomb told him how the little con-
Q1eror had rendered him invaluable
service. He gives his account here, and
some words of advice tersely told. He
said:
"a lake covering about two acres in
extent, containing the dead bodies of
20 mules, is not tempting water to
drink, but / was one of the many who
drank it, and all of us would have done
so if we had known there was death in
every swallow. This illustrates but one
of the many hardships and privatons
passed through during the Civil War,
and it is no wonder that G.. A. II. men
suffer from aches and pains, the most
prevalent of these being due to kidney
disorders. i am pleased to note that a
great many others who passed through
as trying ordeals as !, have now learned
how these troubles can be mitigated.
When l say Doan's Kidney Pills will
cure them i not only speak from eX-
perience, but from observation. To
all old soldiers or anyone suffering
from kidney complaint my advice is to
try that remedy"

Conduct of Foreign Affairs.
President Mckinley has conducted
the foreign affairs of the United States
with distinguished credit TO the Amer
lean people. In releasing us from the
veXatious conditions of a European al
lance for the government of Samoa,
his course is especially 10 be com

ed control the most important island
of the Samoan group, and the best har.
bor in the southern Pacific, every
American interest has been safe
guarded.
We approve the annexation of the
Hawaiian islands to the United States
We commend the part taken by our
government in the peace conference at
The Hague. We assert our steadfast
adherence to the policy announced in
the Monroe doctrine. The provisions
Of The Hague convention were wisely

rendered his friendly offices i'm the In

and the south African republic While
the American government must con-

president and imposed upon us by The
Hague treaty, Of nOn-interventlon in
European controversies, the American
people earnestly hope that n way may
soon be found, honorably alike to both
contendlng parties, TO terminate the
strife between them.
The War with Spain.
In accepting by the treaty of Paris
the just responsibility of our victories
in the Spanish war, the president and
the senate won the undoubted ap-
proval of the American people. No
other course was possible than TO de-
stroy Spain's sovereignty throughout
the Western Indies and in the Philip
pine islands.
That course created our responsible
ity before the world and with the un-
organized population whom our inter-
vention had freed from Spain, to pro-
vide for the maintenance of law and
order and for the enlistment of good
government and for the performance
Of international obligations. Our au-
thority could not be less than our re-
sposnibility, and wherever sovereign
rights were extended ii became the
high duty of the government to main
tain its authority, to put down armed
insurrection and TO confer the bless
ings Of liberty and civilization upon all
the rescued peoples. The largest meas
ures of elf-government consistent
with their welfare and our duties shall
be secured to them by law. To Cuba

which war was declared, and to the
letter this pledge shall be performed.

OUR TRADE CONDITION.

r. q. Dun & Co.'S monthly review
of trade conditions for March, in
southern California, says that
thus far the years volume of bust
ness bas been larger than a year
ago. Various ceuters report busi-
ness good, but best returns come
from southern states. Generally
speaking favorable features of trade
situation reported for the last few
months continue. Price situation is
encouraging Cereals show slight
upward swing. Foreign mercban-
disc exports for March were unusu-
ally large. Railroad earnings show
good advances. Money is easy and
speculative market naturally more
active.
In our immediate district the
month brought little change in out
look. The die is evidently cast Tor
another dry year. The precipita-
tion for the SEASON has not differed
materially from preceding two years.
Grain crops will be short all through
southern California. In the most
favored, localities the estimates fer
hay crop is one-quarter to one-half
crop,
Deciduous fruit trees are we'll set.
The weather has been forcing, and
apricots especially are we'll ad-
vanced. Unless caught by late
frosts, which is unlikely. the crop
should be good.

A BOYS NARROW ESCAPE.

The 5-year-old boy of Mr. and Mrs
d. ]. Sullivan had a lively ride yes
erday afternoon. While his parents
were eating dinner a team behind
which they had been riding was left
standing in front of the hotel, hitched
to a post. The little fellow finished
his meal first and went out and
climbed into the surrey and picked
ND the lines. In the meantime the
horses had become unhitched, and
when he picked up the lines they
started off, gradually increasing their
pace until they rached that of wild
gallop. The little fellow clung to the
lines with one hand. while with the
other he clutched a brace rod of the
surry The horses ran at breakneck
speed, making two turns and
were stopped at the south
side of the plaza without any harm to
the boy or damage to themselves or
the vehicle 'AlFs we'll that ends
WELL" but the might have been" in
this case is something not pleasant to
contemplate.

CLARK WILL FIGHT.
The Senator From Montana VIII Not
ReIinquish His Seat ', ,ithout
a Struggle.

Washington. April Ex-senator Clark
of Montana has decided to make a
fight TO retain his seat in the senate.
He has assurances of support from
several leading democratic senators,
and he has some friends on the repub-
lican side. notably. Hansbrough, VOL
colt and Mason. 1t is probable that
Senator Bacon. of Georgia. will under
take the management of the fight,
and the division viii be almost en-
tirely on party lines.
Immediately after the announce
ment of the decision of the committee
on privileges and elections it was as
sumed generally that Clark would sub
nit to overwhelming odds, in view of
the fact that the four democrats on
the committee united with the repub-
licans in the opinion that his seat
ought to be declared vacant. But
after consultation with his counsel
Clark came to the conclusion that he
had n fighting chance. and that he
could at least defer the result He
has been active in the last twenty
/ four hours button-holing senator's
and has enlisted considerable sup
port and no little sympathy. for hc

comes from Roberts and his date for

great army effectively and that the
adventurous Boer commanders are
likely to be enmeshed. The colon

$4,000 but this may be over estimated
and probably 10000 may be regarded
as the outside number.

ruse to draw the British away from

REDUCTION OF PRICES.
y Bill TO Reduce the Price on Desert
Lands Now Being Considered

The house committee ON public lands
has made Il favorable report upon
Representative Mondelrs bill reducing
the price of lands entered under the
desert land act to the same rate as
now paid for homestead entries under
the desert land law in certain cases
The report says in part:
Under no law for the disposal of
public land are there such numerous
and rigid requirements as hedge about
the entryman under the desert land
acts He must make proof of the
desert character of the land. and at
the time of filing must pay % cents an
acre. He must acquire a clear right to
the use of sufficient water to irrigate
the whole of the land entered, and of
keeping it permanently irrigated. He
must after spending 81 per acre for
three years in irrigating and reclaim
ing the land file a map showing the
character and extent OF improvements.
He must irrigate every forty acres of
the tract filed upon and cultivate at
least One-eighth of it Finally. after
doing all this he must pay the govern
ment, under the present law, 81 an
acre.
At the time the desert land act was
originally passed there may. have been
some justification in charging S1.25 an
acre for desert land in addition to the
requirement for reclamation. But at
this time there is absolutely no just
ice or equity in this provision of law
and it is contrary to the well setab-
/ lished principles of our land laws
which have favored the settlement
/ development and Improvement of the
public domain 1t is Il conservative
statement to say that there is nc
desert land left in the United State:
which can be irrigated by the indi
vidual.

of acute distress has hardly com

those recorded during the initial
stages of the famine three years ago.
1t then affected only 100000 per
sons; now the figure is 3.50O.OO0. and
the daily expenditure is placed at SS4-.

square miles with population of 40
OOO.00O. and there is Il further area of
125.OO0 square miles with a poDula-
tiOn of 21,000.000. in which more or
less distress prevails. The apDlica-
tiOns for relief are overtaXing the
state authorities and are increasing

trying period still two months distant

RISKED HIS OWN LIFE.

An item in connection with Sundays
runaway was overlooked in the Jour

That was the stopping of the run
away team and the probable saving
of the little boys life. The young
man who did this heroic act, at the
risk of losing his own. was Leon
Kneipp. son of Mrs. r. E. Morrison.
He was out horseback riding and
seeing the team galloping along at
break-neck speed and the peril of the
boy in the surrey he rode up along
side of the team and caught the
reins of one of the horses, gradually
decreasing their speed. Just as he
had about gained control of the team
his own horse became frightened and
jumped TO one side, when he slid
off TO the ground. He said he expect
ed the team, surry and all to run ovel
him. but help arrived just in time tC

out any damage
