Farmer Jones aud Bonnie Turner,
two young people living near Coal,
Mo, were found in dying condition
in buggy by the roadside Wednesday
morning. They died about two hours
later from the effects Of morphine,
which they had taken with suicidal In

and Miss Turner was 1S They had
been keeping company for over year
and had intended to marry, but un-
fortunately Jones was kicked by a
horse this summer, necessitating the
expenditure of the money he had saved
to marry on. AS soon as he recovered
and found it necessary to leave home
in search Of work the young folks de-
cided they would rather die together
than be separated. They went driving
Saturday afternoon, remaining away
all night. Sunday morning they un-
hitched the horse from the buggy, tied
him to the fence, fastened the laprobe
over the side Of the buggy top so that
they could not be seen from the road
and took morphine. About 9 o'clock a
man named Link McGinniss, who was
passing, discovered them ia dying
condition. Three physicians were
called, but were unable to save them.
A note to Jones mother was found in
his memorandum book, telling where
his picture could be found and asking
that they be buried in the same grave.
He gave as tbs explanation Of the deed
that they could not marry and would
rather die than be separated.

Getting More Active.

Reports from the Philippine Islands
show that there has bean increased &C
tirity among the insurgents there dur
ing the last six weeks, The American
losses in the islands of Panay last
month we're greater than in any month
since January last. General Mojica,
in Leyte, and General LuchaD, in Sa.
mar, are harassing the garrisons, shoot:
ing into towns during the night and
ambushing small parties, firing and
then retreating upon larger bodies.
The rebels possess an adequate supply
of ammunition and are organized to a
considerable degree. The Americans
haye garrisoned their towns on Samar
Island, two Of which sheltered tenth
of the original inhabitants who suffer
from the continual sniping of the rebels
from the surrounding hills. The third
is without any native inhabitants, the
rebel troops a mile away preventing
their return to their homes. General
Luchaa punishes the islanders who
have any relations with the Americans.
Cebu is also disturbed. Barring those
who have taken the oath Of allegiance
to the United States the rebels are i'm
prisoned in Manil'. When amnesty
was proclaimed it practically was with,

proclamation would accomplish much

Japsn Bore the Brunt.

The Associated Press correspondent
with the allied forces in China says
the glory Of the fighting at Peitsang
belongs to the Japanese. They did all
the hardest fighting. The Americans
were in reserve aud had no casualties.
The japanese, advancing across the
plain, had no shelter and Aanked the
Chinese from their strong mud walls
and trenches extending five miles. The
feature Of the battle was the magn's-
cent japanese cavalry charge which re-
suited il the capture of 10 field guns;
The Chinese retreat was orderly aRo
they left but few dead on the field;
The correspondent Of the Associated
Press counted 200 dead or wounded
Jarauese. The British loss was two
men killed and few wounded. Inc
Bti,ish naval brigade guns and two big
Russians had duel with the Chinese
guns. which resulted in silencing the
latter. The Russians found the plains

1t is not: it is new. That idea is

ton. 1t is not; it is new That idea is
only hundred years old, aud while ma
tions are thousands aud thousands Of
years old, al of them before we estab-
lished that principle enunciated the
doctrine that might makes right. 1t is
to be abandoned in its youth? Is this
government to recede from that splendid
position and to take its first step in
wrons, in crime, as people, by over
turning the doctrine that governments
derive their just powers from the con-
sent of the governed, and without the
consent Of those people fcrce them to
become part Of this union?
Around this doctrine is the idea that
comes along with it-that wherever our
flag is planted there it shall forever re-
main. That sounds well; it is good fourth
of July stock, that whenever the Ameri-
can soldier has fallen and been buried
that region shall becocome part Of this
country. But this cvernnent is main
tanned for the living, not for the dead.
What can we do to contribute to the
happiness and prosperity anc com
fort of our people alive? is the problem
for US to solve. .
1t is this CRY of manifest destiny"
which causes the guns Of Great Britain
to echo daily around the world and ez.
cuses the massacre and assassination Of
the weaker people of the earth. During
the last seven years she has killed
twenty or thirty thousand of the people
of Africa, bombarded towns filed With
women and children, and herself has
lost in the unequal contest but seven
men-sll this 10 the rame Of mani
fest destiny" But Great Britain to,
day, with all her mighty power and her
vast pc sessions, has not conferred upon
the people of England the comfort and
satisfaction and happiness which should
come with proper and honest national
policy.
One tenth Of her people are paurers.
Two out Of three of her laborers who
reach the age Of sixty years either are
or have been paupers. Two hundred
Va
and twenty-five thousand of her people
own the great bulk of the property:
More than two thirds of the people OF
Great Britain have no property at all.
Her metropolist, meanwhile, contains
the darkest and most criminal caverns
in the world.
If we pursue this policy, if we annex
the weaker nations Of the world and un-
dertake to govern them, such will be
the result with US. If we annex ma
tions to whi,h We cannot apply our sys-
TEN Of government, if We acquire terri,
