Before another issue of THE SENTINEL is printed the re- publicans of Yuma county will have nominated their county ticket, and the chances are bright for the election of every man on the ticket, for we take it for granted that the convention will name good and able candi- dates. This is a republican year and the enthusiasm of members of the party was never greater. Victory is assured-it is ill the air.

In 1896 Bryan predicte ddire disaster should the republican policies be carried out, and every one of his prophesies has been falsified by four years of time and events. The republican policies have been vindicat- ed-prosperity is general, and we are standing up for a continuation of the same poll cfes which brought us this prosperity, while MT. Bryan is still in the disaster predicting business.

Yuma's republican delegation to the Phoenix convention re- turned this morning, all highly elated over the nomination of Governor Murphy and certain of his election. The delegation voted as a unit on every proposi- ton that came before the con- vention.

No doubt MT. Bryan will re- ceive the votes of the idle this year. People who don't like to work will take kindly to the democratic nominees ideas.

-and in fact every business to be found in any town of even greater proportions is represent ed. Among secret and fraternal orders are the Elks, A. O. U.W., Masonic, and several others; also the A. H. A., a Mexican fraternal order, the w. c. U,, and the Epworth League.
 Yuma has a complete city government and an efficient fire department. Yuma has many nice brick and frame residences, and as beautiful gardens as can be found in the United States. AS we write these lines, an open view from our window discloses lime and lemon trees so heavily loaded with their golden fruit that the limbs are propped up to prevent their breaking off. On our table are several of the lines from these trees, all perfect and of large size; some are yellow and ripe and others vary ill color from dark to the lighter shades of green-as perfect specimens of this fruit as one ever saw any where. In many yards are Oleanders filled with their fra grant blossoms. Oleander trees grow here as large as many of the shade naples up north and are blossoming the year round.
 The oleander is a favorite flower north and east, but the plants will be found only in pots and they require as much solici- tude and care to protect them from the cold blasts as new born infant. In the same yards with the oleander can be seen roses bloming all the year; fig trees which produce three crops annually; orange trees giving forth ripe fruit month earlier than in California, and the same can be said of many other trop- ical and semi tropical fruits.
 The only time business houses ever close in Yuma is on Sunday.
 The ghastly picture drawn of the barren wastes, etc., should have placed them where they be- long-in California across and beyond the river.
 In the Colorado river valley west of Yuma are 50,000 acres of the richest land, located by set tiers and much of it in cultiva tion, where are grown oranges, lemons, apricots, peaches, grapes and other fruits, besides alfalfa, wheat and barley. Apricots ripen early in April; grapes in June. Alfalfa is cut from five to seven times year.
 On Yuma Heights is @ lemon orchard of 12O acres, the fruit from which is as nearly perfect as it ever gets anywhere.
 In the valley of the Gila are thousands of acres of land irri- gated by three different canals the Farmers; the American and the Ives. This land is occupied by thrifty ranchers.
 The Mohawk waters 3O,OOO acres and the Palomas 50,000.
 There are no extinct volcanoes here, but the writer of the slan- derous stuff about this section might, possibly run up against a live one if he landed in Yuma, unless he came in cog.
 Within a radius of 60 miles of Yuma are three of the largest gold mines and the only lead mine in operation in the terri tory, all pay tribute to Yuma,
 Gold (not ore) shipments from Yuma by Wells, Fargo 6 Co.'S alone amount to S2,00O per month.
 The sleepy, sluggish Color ado river," as this fiction writer refers to it, is a navigable stream and line of steamers ply be- tween Yuma and the Needles, distance of three hundred miles and does large and prosperous business.
 Yuma is also the home of the Indian school, an institution maintained by the government

CAPE coLoNIsTs MEET.
Peoples Congress Passes Resolutions
Fayorlng Republics.

GIRAFFE Reinet, Cape Colony, May 81.
The Peoples Congress opened here
today. OF those present many were
Dutch clergymen and commoners.
Bondites Devilier, brother of the Chief
Justice Devilier,. presided. Pretorius,
a member of the Legislative assembly,
offered resolution declaring tina, in
the opinion of the majority of Cape
|Colonists the chief immediate cause OF
the war was the unwarranted intoler-
able interference Of the ministry in
London in the international affairs Of
the South African republics. A mem
Der speaking in support of the reso-
luton said it would be Impossible to
hold out the hand OF friendship after
the war and asked, "Can we take tine
hand of the English that is perahps
stained with the blood of my brother.''
The chairman advised moderation
in all speeches. The resolution was
adopted unanimously. Other resolu-
tons We're presented and affirmed that
if the republics were annexed the peace
and prosperity of the country would
be irretrieyably wrecked and in order
to insure lasting friendship and pros
perity the settlement must include the
restoration of unqualified freedom and
independence to the republics and the
colonists raust be allowed voice in the
appointment OF the governor OF Cape
Colony. \ delegation was appointed
to visit Great Britain, Canada, Aus
tralia and explain the views of those
represented at the congress.

cAcUALr,Es OF THE FlL1PrNos
Gen. Macarthur Reports lO,7sO Killed
and 2,1O4 Wounded.

Washington, June 5.-Secretary Root
yesterday made answer to the senate
resolution inquiring as to the number
of Filipinos killed and wounded and
the number of prisoners taken since
the instruction began. Having no de-
tailed information on the subject, the
secretary cabled the inquiry to Gen.
Macarthur, commanding at Manila and
received the following response, which
was submitted to congress:
Manila, June 4, 19O0.-Adjutant Cen
eral, Washington: With reference to
your telegram of 22d ultimo: Filipin-
os killed, 10,7S0; wounded, 2,104; cap
tured and surrendered, 1924; number
prisoners in our possession, about 1000.
There is no systematic record of Fill
ipino casualties at these headquarters.
The foregoing, compiled from a large
number of reports made Immediately
after engagements, is as close an APP
Proclamation as is now possible owing
to the wide distribution of troops. A
more accurate report it would take
weeks to prepare. The number report
ed killed is probably in excess of accu-
rate figures, the number reported
probably much less, as the Filipinos
manage to remove most of their woun-
.ded from the field and comparatively
few fell into our hands. Officers of
high rank and dangerous suspicious
men have been retained as prisoners;
most of the other men Were discharged
on the field as soon as disarmed. /
propose to release all but very few
prisoners at an early date.

POISONED BY KEROSENE.
Little Child Drinks Quantity and
WIFI Probably Die.

Fort Dodge, June 2.-The 3-year-old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. q. S. Phillips has
been literally burned alive as the result
of drinking large can of kerosene on
Tuesday afternoon. The youngster
was playing about and found an old
can of paint, that was partially filled
with coal oil in order to KEEP the paint
fresh. What queer prompting it had
to drink the contents will never be
known, perhaps, but at any rate the
contents of the can We're emptied
down the little ones throat and a Sc
riously sick boy was the result. Doc
tors were summoned and everything
was done to alleviate the pain. The
entire alimentary canal was burned
frightfully by the oil and the mucous
membrane of the throat was fairly
cooked. Yesterday the child was
somewhat worse and it is not thought
that the little one can recover.

REPUBLICANS CARRY OREGON.
Mea.er Returns Show State Is Carried
by From 5000 to 5000 Plurality.

Portland, Ore, June 5.-The returns
from yesterdays elections are coming
in very slowly. Moody and, Tongue
republicans, were elected to congress.
The democrats claim that the entire
fusion legislature ticket in this (Mult-
nomah) county is elected. If the claim
holds good the next legislature will be
close, will probably have small re-
publican majority. For mayor of
Portland, Rowe (republican) is slight
ly in the lead.
Portland, Ore, June 5.-Meager re-
turns from yesterdays election indi-
cate the republicans have carried the
state by from 5000 to 5000 plurality.
1T is estimated that G. L. Wolverton
(republican) for justice of the supreme
count, will have plurality of 5000. j.
w. Bailey (repnblican), for food and
dairy commissioner, is elected by 5000.
In the second congressional district the
plurality for Moody (republican) is es-
minated at 1000. From the first con-
gressional district, which always has
been close, no returns have been re-
ceiyed, except one county, where
Tongue (republican) is running ahead
of his ticket.

FOUND ON THE TRACK.
Body of Negro Discovered by Section
NIen Near Iowa City.

Iowa City, June 5.-John Klema, a
Rock Island section hand, discovered a
gruesome object about two miles east
of Iowa City on the Rock Island tracks
Sunday morning about s O'Clock. 1t
was the body of negro. horribly man
gled, lying about two feet south of
the track. AS is customary, a section
hand is compelled to ride over the
main track in the section every Sunday
morning and yesterdays ride fell to the
lot of John Klema. When he arrived
at u point about two miles east of the
city, he discovered the snangled body
as noted above. He returned to the
city Immediately and notified the rail-
road authorities. who in turn notified
the coroner. Coroner Schneider left
directly for the place and soon return
ed with the body to the city. An eS-
animation of the wounds and the posi-
ton of the dead man proved conclus-
lively that the cars had run over him.
He was evidently stealing a ride and
accidently fell off the train.

MARRIED IN MANKATO.
Love of Waterloo Couple Laughs u,
Parental Objections.

Waterloo, June 4.-The parents of
Miss Mabel Manning have received "a
letter from her at Mankato, Mimi, in
forming them that She was married
at that place on Monday to o. o. Law
renee and that they will make their
home there. The groom was familiar
ly known as SDoc" Lawrence, was en-
ployed in Cal Sharp's barber shop in
the basement of the Irving house. On
Sunday night he and Miss Manning
disappeared from Waterloo and it APP
pears they failed to communicate
their intentions to their friends or even
to the young lady's parents. Efforts
We're made to trace the fugitives, but
now that the elopement has reached
the happy denouement OF marriage
probably no interference will be made
with their happiness.

THEY ALL WANT SHAW.
National Committee Asks For open
Dates.

Des Moines, June 2-The national re-
publican committee .Sas asked Govern
or Shaw to indicate the number of
speeches he can make under their di-
rection and outside of the state of
Iowa during the coming national cam
paign. No reply has yet been made,
but it is understood that "a consulta-
ton will be held with State Chairman
Weaver with regard to the matter and
an answer sent within the next few
days. 1t is understood that the gov
ernor also received a number of per-
and that he made partial promises. He
will probably make several speeches in
the state of New York, where he at
tracted attention in his Rochester
speech of two years ago, and the poll
ticians are undoubtedly interested in Sc
curing his return.
IoWa'S governor has unquestionably
as wide a reputation now for gold
speeches as New York's governor has
for rough riding, and it is altogether
likely that good share of his time
will be spent outside of Iowa during
the coming campaign. and in states
which need the gospel of republican,
ism and sound money more than Iowa.
1t is not unlikely that Governor Shaw
will go to Nebraska, where he created
such an impression in political
speech he made at Lincoln not many
months since.
Governor Shaw is planning to take a
complete rest from the close of the ma
tional republican convention in Phila-
delphia until the first of September.
he has declined all invitations to speak
during that time, and aside from keep
| ing up the business of the executive Of
| flee will hold his time for himself.
During the later part of June he will
accompany his family to Colorado
Springs where they will spend the re-
mainder of the summer. He will re-
main there for few weeks rest and
then return to the duties of his Office,
and what preparation may be necessa-
| ry to get himself in readiness for the
speaking campaign.
