WAITING FOR WATER
Platte River Drive = Hung up Tenn
#. porarily two MILES Above
;&4{% Gravelyille dam. IL &%.

Despite the great effort that has
been put forth by those in charge
they were compelled to make another
halt in the work" Of getting out the
Platte river drive. For several
days the rear had been moving only
q few rods each day, from two
splashes Of water let down from 81
dam. In repairing the dam this
spring it was not thought necessary
to build it higher that four feet, but
it is now found that this Is not
sufficient, so a force Of men has been
put to work raising it.
The rear of the drive Is now about
two miles above Gravelville, and 1t
is believed that with one good head
of water from 1897 the logs will be
got into the Gravelville pond, and II
This is accomplished those in charge
are confident that the drive will
reach the Mississippi this season.
About 1000, 900 feet have been slujced
through Gravelville dam already,
and with the aid of the Gravelville
dam the drive will have no difficulty
in reaching Rice lake. A crew OF
men ia now at work booming Rice
lake, so that the logs will follow
through the channel, and another
force ia at work rebuilding the dam
lust below the lake. The head OF
water than can be raised on this
dam, it is estimated, will carry them
through to the Mississippi
The drive has been under the
management of James G. Cody, OF
Brainerd, superintendent for the
Akeley Lumber company. and VIM.
Tayloris foreman, or'walking boss,
as he, is termed by the drivers. Mr..
Taylor has had years OF experience
on Platte and other streams. and the
work so far accomplished under the
unfavorable conditions that have
prevailed this season, shows that
the work is in capable hands.
AS it is impossible to movefurther
without more water. the crew was
laid off temporarily Thursday, butt
Is expected that Work will be re-
sumed not later than Monday and
that the drive will he into Gravel
Vile pond Monday night.
Some of the crew left, but a
majority stayed feeling confident
that the work would be resumed.

executed with a grace and ease OF

beauty of the stage scene: .5.s
The dances by the children We're

HEssELGRAvE ACQUITTED.
The Todd County Man Who Killed His
" Wife Is Discharged 49,. ...
This Week.

Inc Trial OI AlIreu E1eSSeISCGSc, VI
Todd county, for murder was held in
Long Prairie this week, and after
the testimony was taken the state
moved to dismiss the case, and it
was done. Last winter while
Hesselgrave and his wife were walk
ing along a road the man struck the
woman on the neck with his AK, kill
ing her instantly. He claimed it
was an accident, but the authorities
demanded an Investigation and it
was decided to prosecute him. The
Long Prairie Argus prints the testi-
mony, and closes the account OF the
trial with the following statement:
"This closed the testimony in the
case and the court took a short re-
cess. after the recess County At
torney G.. w. Peterson addressed the
court and the jury, stating that after
probing the matter to the bottom
he found that the evidence was not
gu tficient to convict the defendant
and moved that the court in5truct
the jury to find verdict OF not
guilty. He said the prosecution had
done It's best in the effort to protect
society in such cases, but felt that
the rights of the defendant demanded
such an action on his part.
"Judge Searle gave quiet a review
of the law touching such cases and
the necessity of Investigating circum-
stances surrounding the death OF d
person where there may be q suspi-
cion of crime, stating that in this
case had the jury found a verdict OF
guilty he would have been compelled
to set it aside, as the evidence did
not warrant such a verdict. He then
instructed the jury to find a verdict
OF not guilty, which they did. The
court room was crowded with peo-
pie and the announcement of the YER
dict was greeted with applause.
County Attorney Peterson was
warmly commended by many Tor
his action.
''Most of those in the court room
shook hands with the defendant
which showed that after having the
evidence the sympathy OF the people
was with him. He can now 20 out
into the world with no faint of sus-
picion attached to him and with the
sympathy Of everybody for the sui
fering he must have endured in being
charged with, numbering the wife he
loved go we'll.
"A peculiar feature of the case was
the fact that the family OF the defend.
ants wife stood by him all the way
through the trouble from the arrest
to the end" 49,.

the democratic masses. which could
not be stampeded to any other view.
When Judge Hunt asks why the Fill
ipinos did not do as the Cubans did, il
they desired to be treated likewise. he
probably thinks he has scored a point.
The bubble must be burst, however
reluctant we may be to perform the
task. The Filipinos. like the Cubans.

thority. Aguinaldo was taken back to
the Philippines by Admiral Dewey,
and however much we may try to gloss
IL over. became the land ally of the
fleet Subsequently he was treated as
an enemy, refused official recognition
for negotiation and scorned by gov
ernment to which he owed allegiance
neither by act of nature or OF selection.
In the case of Cuba there was both Off
ciai recognition and negotiation. The
United States government through
formal commission treated with Gen
eral Gomez while yet at the head OF
armed men. Three million dollars in
pension money. prorated in recogni-
ton OF official rank, was paid before
Ndllu CNdNASlSSs thNh oAN~N
this General Gomez was officially rec
ognized until by his own act he re-
tired.
Why did not the United States gov
ernment act in the same way toward
Aguinaldo? The conditions were alike
and there is no ground upon which
can be based declaration that the
policy successful with Gomez would not
have been equally successful with
Aguinaldo Every reason existed for
both men to be friendly. and the last
eighteen months i'm the Philippines.
like those in Cuba, could have been de-
voted to recuperation.
But Ii is the home effect which be-
comes the most important. A presi-
dent above the constitution in the
Philippines will soon disregard that
document in Georgia, and then again
we may have a regiment of soldiers
quartered in the state capitol.
Whenever the flag is to wave over
new territory. let it be known, open
and above board. that 1t is the flag OF
the constitution and not merely the
emblem of some irresponsible military
chieftain. Let the flag float as it did in
Louisiana, bringing citizenship ana
statehood. or as it does in the ports
OF the South American republics, as a
protection to sister governments OF
kindred origin.
Such expansion of authority and of
ideas as this. in accordance with dem
ocratic precedent. is the only safe
course for a people who would pre-
serve their own liberties.

What of MilesP

The magazines are presenting brave
and handsome pictures of our own
Miles in his new lieutenant generals
uniform.
BY the way, isn't this a pretty ex-
pensive luxury-this thing of support
ing lieutenant general whose only
possible function seems to be to smile
and look pleasant at the cameras?
Miles is a thing of beauty; we must
all admit that There Is every reason,
moreover. for laymen believing that he
knows his business. Why is it. then.
that we are hearing absolutely moth
ing from him in these piping times of
war?
With American soldiers in Porto
Rico. Cuba. Hawaii, the Philippines
and taking part in the liveliest sort OF
a scrap in China the general command
Ing the army has no more to do with
the management of its affairs than the
kiddy just out of West Point or the
cheapest clerk in the war department.
Why is this? Miles Is ready and
willing to do the work of his high Of
flee and assume its sponsibiities.
His friends declare he is kept in the
background simply and solely because
of favoritism. Sympathizers with the
dominant clique in the administration
insinuate, on the other hand, that for
some mysterious reason Miles is not
the man for the place he holds.
If this is so, the country has the
right to know 1t. We should have
charges and specifications, and If nee
essary a good, healthy court martial.
We want no incompetents at the head
of the army. be 1t large or small. No
French army in ours!
But we want the facts. II Miles Is
not competent to direct affairs as the
army's head, why was he recommend
ed for promotion to lieutenant gen.
eralship?

A Deserved Rebuke.

It is the fashion OF republican news
papers to sneer at every former repub-
lican who follows his convictions and
takes a position in opposition to the
administration imperial programme
No matter how high position these
men may have held or how greatly
they are esteemed, the announcement
of their refusal to follow the syndicat-
ed programme of the administration Is
enough to open up the vials of wrath
which republican editors carry around
on their persons.
The New York Sun takes 1t out in
calling names and making faces, after
the manner of a bad little boy. Other
organs of the administration go father
and endeavor by means of stilted
phrases breathing vituperation to
prove that change in political faith
calls for the severest and most serious
criticism.
The Buffalo Express is a republican
newspaper. but it Is not one that is
willing to resort to these petty meth
ods. Commenting upon those who aim

The Strenuous Teddy Again.

The Strenuous Teddy. having read
all democrats off the face Of the earth
as traitors, has now turned his atten-
ton to the colored soldiers who fought
in Cuba. Teddy declares that these
colored regulars were towards and that
in order to make them fight at all he
(Teddy) had to push his CORY pistol in
their several faces. Naturally this
charge is being bitterly resented by
those regulars and the people of their
race who are proud of the record they
made in the war with Spain. They
seem to think that this charge comes
with peculiarly bad grace from
Roosevelt. owing to the fact that he
and his command would have been
neatly wiped off the earth had it not
been for the good hard fighting of
their neighbors. the colored regulars.
who saved them.
