Chicago, May IA lawyer, who

reached the building the mangled
body OF the BENEFICIARY was being tax

wagon.
Thale and W. c. kestler, a fellow
workman, had been on a scaffold
swung between wings of building,
seventy-five feet high. The men had
just lifted heavy piece of iron and
were carrying their burden across a
plank joining two of the swinging
scaffolds when Thale lost his footing
With a cry which caused kestler to
drop his end of the iron and catch
the rope OF the swaying platform
Thale plunged to his death, When
the mans body was picked up by the
workmen life was extinct. AS the
mangled body was being lifted into a
waiting patrol wagon tall stranger
pushed his way through the little
knot of workmen.
Can any one tell meif Henry Thale
works here?" he inquired.
One of the workmen pointed to the
partol wagon.
That's him." he said.
The stranger asked further ques
lions in order to be certain o.
Thale's identity. He then told the
workmen he had come to tell the
workman of the fortune awaiting
him. Thale had been employed OF
the building three weeks. He haC

ley, Whom He Visits.
Warrington, May .1I-Wharton
Barker, the nominee for president of
the Cincinnati convention of the mid
dle-of-the-road populists, called on
President Mckinley to-day to pay
his respects.
These men have known each other
ever since Mr.. Mckinley entered pub
lie life. Later on, Mr.. Barker said to
a representative of the associated
press that his nomination at Cincin-
natl makes the election of Mr.. Bryan
by the democrats impossible.
'In the last presidential election, !"
he said, "Mr. Bryan received about
$780, 600 votes. OF this number at
least 1000, 900 were populists. This
year will get 100000, or possibly
l, $50, 900 of that number. This will
cut Bryan's vote to 100000 or
less. Where is he going to get the
other votes necessary to elect him
1t is estimated that Mr. Mckinley re.
ceived 800, 900 votes from the dem
ocratic ranks four years ago. These
will not go to Bryan this year tC
make up his loss of populist votes

man had been nominated by the dem

KEEPING UP THE FIGHT.
FilipinOs Are Active and American
Troops Are Heavy Losers.

New York, May ia Manila let
ter to the Herald, dated February
10, says:
About January l, it was said that
the armed and organized instruction
was practically at an end and that
therefore the troops would have to
deal only with guerrilla bands and
outlaws. Yet in the last forty days
the American forces here have lost
more men, more arms and more sup
plies in the so-called pacified districts
than during any previous period
of like length since the insurrection
began.
Ii this is what guerrilla warfare
means then we will need more troops
some day for the new method of fight
ing is proving more effective than
any style that the insurgents have
employed previously. Almost every
day brings a report of some fresh am
buscade wherein small forces of our
troops are attacked by a hundred or
more Filipinos. Usually one or more
of our men are killed and the rest are
driven away by sheer force of num-
bers. Then follows a punitive expe-
dition, but these sorties seldom find
a trace of the enemy.
Invariably the insurgents know
the exact strength OF the force they
are ambushing, for they usually lie
in wait for small groups of ten or
fifteen men, which they permit to ap-
proach so close that their first volley
| kills or wounds most of them and
leaves the rest utterly demoralized
Insurgents who live within our lines
who are Amigos in the day time ard
enemies at night, have been particu
larry pernicious. 1t is now unsafe
more than ever before, to move il
small numbers, even in the districts
which are presumably pacified by the
presence OF strong garrisons.
The rank and file of the people III
the towns are in full sympathy with
these marauding raids, for they never
render help by word or deed which
will aid our troops in locating and
whipping the guerrilla bands, al
though it is certain that they are
always aware of the plans and pros
pective movements of these bands.
Even to-day there is not a nativ,
in Manila friendly, though he may
profess himself to be, who will breath'
a word as TO Aguinaldo's where
abouts. vet there are doubtless thou
sands who know exactly where he i.
and many who doubtless are in con
slant communication with him.
The list of our losses by bolome1
and ambushes in the occupied dis
tricts since Jan. l is rather start

files of a daily paper, and doubles:

As the Devil Would Do.

The editor of tie AtchisOn Champ
ion concluded he would have his pa

opinions as to how they thought his
Satanic Majesty would handle the
Job. Among those who answered
was Ex-Governor John p st. John,
who said:
Il have received yours of the 29th

as to How the devil would run a pa
per, and in reply thereto l desire TO
congratulate you on your excellent
Judgment in selecting me TO answer
that question. for my familiarity with
his Satanic Majesty enables me to
impart to you lot of information
that the ordinary, pious man knows
but little about.
