LIEUT.. SISSON'S BODY HOME.
Killed by Bullet Which First Pierced
His Sweetheart's Picture.

st. Edward, Neb, Feb. 10.-The body
of Lieut.. Harry Sisson arrived today
from the Philippines. One of the most
pathetic romances incident to the war
III the East was disclosed by the killing
Of the young Nebraska officer.
When he enlisted here his sweetheart
Miss Anna Taylor, hung around his neck
Il scarlet ribbon from which dangled a
photograph of herself. He promised to
wear it next his heart, and the girl laugh
ingly remarked that if he was killed She
hoped the bullet would first pierce her
picture. Among the first to fall in the
charge over the rice fields around Manila
was Lieut.. Sisson.
When picked MP it was found that
bullet had gone through his heart, strik-
ing first the very center Of the likeness
his sweetheart had placed in his BOSOM
The weeping girl met the remains Of her
lover at the depot this morning The
Manila embalmers carefully replaced the
picture of the Nebraska girl over the
heart of the corpse, and thus it arrived
here today. Miss Taylor will have it bur-
led with him.

Indications that the Milwaukee Road

kee at Omaha, Kansas City and Sioux
City. 1t certainly means that the
amount of railway building in the North
west will this year exceed that for many
years preceding. The total mileage of
construction this year has been estimated
at 1000, and the uncertainties which in
clude the Milwaukee road to the Black
hiils-if it is uncertain-are not included
in that estimate.
If the Milwaukee does build this year
from Chamberlain to the Hills it will be

in the world, and to protect its traffic the

MANILA TO BEAT HONG KONG.
Its Chances of Becoming the Imperi-
al City of the Pacific.


"The moment we decided to annex the
Philippines we felt surprised that there
had been any hesitation. We saw that
our new expansion was in all respects the
most important in our history. Not only
are there magnificent opportunities in the
Philippines for American civilization,
commerce and industry, but there is the
dazzling possibility Of making Manila the
center of western Pacific trade. Manila,
ADJACENT to a population of S50,O0O,000
people should, before many years, surpass
Hong Kong, to which Great Britain owes,
such a large part of her Chinese COM
merce.
!, Inc chief distributing centers of China,
Japan, Corea, Siam, AMMAN and the East
Indies are as near to Manila as Havana
is to New York; and the distributing cen
tiers OF British India and Australia are
nearer to Manila than to any other great
emporium: AT present we furnish only
one-twentieth of the billion dollars worth
or goods. that the countries within easy
commercial range of Manila purchase
yearly: Yet the largest part of these i'm

Mr.. ]. S Manning introduced
the following resolution:
Whereas, In our opinion, Uni

elected by direct vote of the
people, and the democratic par
ty of North Carolina, declared
in its platform of 1898, in favor
of this method of election: and,
whereas, a primary of all demo.

forestall its action, but it is the
unanimous opinion of every del

General Julian 5 Carr is the

When the party becomes an
end unto itself, as il has too
often done, especially when the
best men have held aloof from

brigand's plot against the State.
When political argument and
procedure deal with false mo-
tives in influencing men, as they
too often do; when the false
aims of greed take the place Of
the true, then politics become
instead of the art Of finding a
common staining ground for
men, the art perverting men
from duty, and that is neither
human nor divine, but simply
devilish.
