From the Philippines.

Walter Williams, of the Column
bia Herald, has received the fol-
lowing letter from IA friend, Ed
ward A. Wilmer, who is on sol
der duty in the Philippines;
1.-THE Republican press, | see, is
accusing the Filipinos of not being
capable of self government, but |
cannot agree with it, as ! have had
the opportunity, by being in the
cavalry service, of seeing nearly all
parts of Luzon and seeing the ma
tives of Manila, San Fernando, San
Isador and Santa Cruz, and the
opinion that | have formed is that
they are more capable of self-gov-
ernment than ii great many of the
South American republics.
"They (the Republican press)
say that the war is over, but if sc
wish to ask why they continue tC
hold us here! Why are they cs'
tablishing double recruiting sta
tiOns in the United States to OBJ
tain more soldiers for the Philip
pinesg Why are they holding sucl
a large army at such an enormous
cost if the war is over!
mo, it is not over, The FLIP
mos have now divided their forces
and scattered them in small bands
all over the different parts of th'
islands, as it is their advantage t.
do. At present they are more act
i've than usual"

Grave Charge.

a late dispatch from Hannibal
says:
While rocking her baby to sleep,
Mrs. Alice Nesenhener listened to
the reading of an indictment charg-
ing her with the murder of her
husband, Frank Nescnhener, whose
death occurred suddenly on July
II last, at his home in this city.
In the indictment returned by
the grand jury Mrs. Nesenhcner is
accused of having killed her hus-
band by means of morphine. The
Indictment was based upon the
testimony taken before the coro-
ner's jury, in which it is alleged
that three of Mrs. NeSenhcncr' 5
children died under mysterious
circumstances three years ago with
in a month, and in each instance
following but brief illness.

Struck it Rich.

The MESSAGE clips the follow
ing item from the Paris Appeal:
Three years ago "A party of -
Parisians went gold hunting in a
laska. The poorest man III the
crowd was Rube Holbrook. lie
had made two or three fortunes
during his life, but had squander-
ed them with IA prodigal hand, and
had barely enough money on which
to make the trip. Nevertheless,
people predicted that Rube'S luck
would reasscrt itself and that he
would be the one man to strike 1t.
They were correct. "Wednesday
night Tan BasSett returned from
Nome, where he has been during
the summer. lie says Holbrook is
interested in some Of the biggest
claims in the Cool Creek country,
so miles back from Nome, and is
undoubtedly a millionaire. Tn"
other Monroe county boys, Bca-
giles, Wright, Powers and the rest,
are doing well. Tom Murphy and
Abe Hill are in Seattle, where they
will probably remain. Mr.. Bas-
set says Nome is the richest of all
gold countries and will yet startlc
the world with its output He
states, however, that government
| favoritism toward syndicatcs is
visible even in far-oif Alaska, and
that the poor man has stood poor
show in Alaska. The big compa-
MES jump claims with impunity
and have seized almost the entire
beach. One miners house was
moved off his claim and in resist
ing he was killed. Smallpox ragged
for ii while and there We're some
suicides, but the reports sent out
were exaggerated. Mr.. Bassct
said he saw no starving men. lie
still has confidence in the value OF
the Paris company's claims.

Court Nothing to Do.

Bowling Green, Mo-, Oct. A.
A most remarkable circumstance
developed here yesterday upon the
opening of a special term of the
Pike circuit court, with Judge ID.
II. Eby, of Hannibal, on the
bench. The term had been set cs-
pecially to try three criminal cases,

of the docket the judge found that
the three criminals had escaped
from Jail and the defendant in the
civil case had died last Saturday,
This was the celebrated Fielden

the county.

An actress playing small parts in a
Berlin theater has turned her marriage
to some account. The usual formal in
vltation has been suppressed in favor
OF something that reads like this;
"Fraulein X, invites all her friends

depend on the latter whether this play
turns out a comedy or drama" One

Burned to Death.

Ada Hess, -, of ST. Louis, was
preparing dinner last Sunday
while her mother was at church.
As the fire did not burn 10 suit
her, she decided to help the blaze
by pouring il little coal oil over
the Goals.
When she tipped the can the oil
did not flow, and, thinking that
it was stopped, she looked over
her shoulder in search of an OBJ
jcct with which she might clear
the spout of the can, While she
was surveying the utensils on the
table she kept the coal oil can tip
ped over the fire and unknown to
her the oil strcamcd over the Goals.
The flames from the stove shot
up and reached the can, causing
an explosion which scattered burn
ing oil over the girl and the kltch-
en-. The report of the explosion
brought several ncighbors to the
house. They found the girl writh-
ing on the floor, completely en-
vclopcd by the flames. The fire
was quickly Smothcrcd with ta-
blc-cloth and water, but the girl
was fatally burned.
Her hair was almost burned
from her head, the face was burn
ed beyond recognition and parts of
the body were burned so badly
that the flesh was baked. She was
also badly burned internally by
inhalng the flames,

James K. Smiley.

We take the following from the
Christian Observer, published at
Louisville, Ky:
James II. Smiley, father of Mrs.
M. a. Crawford, of Mexico, Mo-,
died at his home near Santa Fc,
Mo-, Sept. >, 1900, lacking only
seventeen days of being eighty
nine years old.
God gave him long life and
peace. His life was an example
of 1.-THE pcaccablc fruits of right
cousness," even in this world.
Nineteen years of quiet and happy
life added to the three score years
and ten allotted to men, is surely
something to be grateful for.
He came to Monroe county, Mo-,
in 1871, and was married here to
Miss Elizabeth Kerr, and united
at South Fork church soon after
his marriage. He continued a
valuable and honored member of
this organization until called to the
Church on high. For twcntySev-
Ell years he was closely associated
with DR.. J. Travis, who served
that church for that length of
time, and the writer, upon whom
it fell to conduct the funeral ser
vices, found himself wishing that
that blessed saint could be present
to conduct the services and COM
fort the mourncrs as only he could.
Being of "A timid disposition, he
always declined to take Office or
any leading part in the church,
but was unusually regular in at
tendance and steady in all silent
duties. DR.. Travis said that he
was always sure that there would
be one person at church and that
would be Mr.. Smiley.
He was rather large and tall
stature, with Il face full of sun
shine and remarkable kindness; II
face which Il stranger would single
out in the congregation, and which
was not likely to be forgotten.
His accustomed place in the sane
tuary speaks imprcssively by his
absence. That kindly face and
greeting, familiar for so many
years in the gatherings of God 5
people, now gone, speak yet in
memory.
He leaves wife, two sons and
two daughters to mourn for him.
Nature compelS them TO mourn
but surely it is a mourning sweet
cncd by happy memories and bright
hopes. In his last days he express
ed gratitude that God had given
him such children to comfort him
in his old age, and the children
"rise up to call him blessed His
end was like his life. After somt
weeks of WEAKNESS and suffering
during which he uttered no com
plant, but only gratitude for ev
cry thing that was done for him
he fell into Il peaceful sleep, anC
passed away, without knowing tn,
