A Century Mark.

One evening recently We had the
pleasure of taking a drive with Hon.
&. Alfred Schoch behind his excel
lent Iowa trottcr to the old Schoch
homestead about a mile and a half
east of this place. This farm has
been in the Schoch family tor up
wards of hundred years. The
house and barn have recently under
gone a system of repairs, remodeling
and painting. The old stone barn
has been painted and the place is
familiar to nearly everyone as the
place where the public road runs
between the harm and the manure
yard. The farm is now tenanted by
Hiram Clark. The house has been
repaired and an addition put to it,
having removed the old stone adj
dition at the east end of the build
ing. The interior of the original
house has been retained. 1t was
built more than a hundred years
apo. The ceilings are of the old
kind with the ioists exposed. A por-
ton of the interior had never been
painted and in his desire to preserve
as much as possible the natural ap-
pearance, the natural wood was fill
ed and varnished. The material
used was of the very best and the
building is yet in a good state OF
preservation, and, as far as the in
terror is concerned, is good for at
least another century.
Leaving us heirs to amplest heritages,
All the best thoughts OF the greatest sages'
And giving tongues unto the silent deao.

A FILIPINO R0MANClST.
Admiral Dewey Declares Alejan-
drino's Statement False.
NEVER HELD THE VIEWS QUOTED.

He Declares That the Iden of Filipino
Independence Was an Afterthought
of the Spanish Fleet.
Washington, July 24.-The letter re-
eeived by Senator Pettigrew from one
OF Aguinaldo's generals. J. Alejan-
drino, containing an alleged account
of an interview between himself and
Admiral Dewey on board the Olympia
in the Bay Of Hong Kong in April.
1898, in which It is stated that Admiral
Dewey promised independence to the
Filipinos, was shown to the admiral
yesterday by reporter. The admiral
characterized 1t a tissue OF false
hoods" He declared it absurd on its
face. II not only had no power to
promise independence to the Fill
pinos," said he, but the whole tenor
OF the words put in my mouth stamps
them as false. l am made to say
things which l never have uttered.
You will notice that l am addressed
in the alleged interview as admiral,
when at the time was commodore. "
The admiral said he had never heard
OF Alejandrino. Several Filipinos, af-
ter much importuning, did come
aboard the Olympia at Hong Kong.
They were anxious to be taken to
Manila. II considered their repre-
sentations OF little Importance" said
the admiral, "and did not take them
to Manila. Later ! gave permission
to Aguinaldo and about a dozen others
TO go to Manila All that they were
anxious about at that time was an
end of the tyranny OF Spain. against
which they had been fighting. After
the destruction of Montejo's feet the
city virtually surrendered, and | am
satisfied that IL we had had 5000
troops there at that time we could
have gone ashore and been received
by the Filipinos as deliverers. They
had absolutely no thought then Of in
dependence. That was an afterthought
OF their leaders during the interim be-
tween the smashing Of the Spanish
fleet and the arrival OF the United
states troops.
Speaking Of the report that Cuba
was to be evacuated by the American
troops after the holding Of the con-
stitutional convention Admiral Dewey
said he did not see how the United
States could turn over the island to
the Cubans until stable government
had been established. I'VE are respon-
sible to the world for the orderly con-
duct OF affairs in Cuba" said he. 'and
until such a government is establish
ed cannot see how we can withdraw
We are confronted with a similar sit
uation in the Philippines. The world
looks to US. and no matter which po-
litial party wins in November the
United States cannot relinQuish the
islands until responsible and stable
government is set up there"
