ONLY THING NEGLECTED.
s. E. Parkill Urges the Establishment of
Public Library

FuDnc Library.
MR. EDITOR: | am delighted to see that
the council is taking steps toward establish
ing free public library. 1t is the one
thing that we need, In a public way, more
than anything else. We have fine churches
and more of them than most cities of our
size, our moral development has been looked
after, we pay money to secure manufacture
ing enterprises to give our people work.
We have fine schools generously supported
to educate the children; we have social
fraternal and literary societies galore; we
have wide-awake progressive people, but
somehow, through the crOwdipg of other
things we have neglected the public library,
second to nothing else as a means of up
building, uplifting and developing our peo-
pie.
True, we have the Ladies' Library, sup
ported by devoted band of faithful
women who have put good share of their
time Into its development and maintenance.
They have done good work and it Is time
the city showed its appreciation by assum-
ing the burden and with larger means at
their command extending Its influence and
usefulness.
A free library with free reading room,
easily accessible and open to the public at
least a part of each day will be the best
monument the city government can erect.

AGUINALDO'S DEATH.
Manila Papers Recite Circumstantiai
Evidence Indicating the Fact.

Washington, Nov. 23.-The latest
mail from Manila at the war depart
ment brings an interesting budget Of
news from the islands. some of which
heretofore has beer touched on in the
press dispatches. Manila papers of
Oct. is devote considerable space to a
renewal of the report concerning
A%guinaldo's death in northern Luzon.
They say the cirCumstantial character
OF this report. together with the fact
that General Trias recently has been
signing himself Commander in Chief
o. the Insurgent Forces" lends a
strength of color to the belief that
Aguinaldo may be dead.
The last account in this line comes
from Nueva Ecija, in northern Luzon,
where, in a skirmish, Aguinaldo's horse
was killed and his saddle bags. with a
number of personal papers. captured.
1t seems that a non-commissioned
officer at this place had gained the con
fidence of a native woman, Maria Ram,
ireZ. wife of a general on Aguinaldo's
staff. and secured considerable infor,
nation as to the movements of the in.
surgents. much of which proved cor
rect. The womon told him that in the
fight at Nueva Ecija. Aguinaldo was
shot from his horse and severely
wounded. He was carried by his fol
overs into the jungle and subsequently
reported i'll with a fever. HIS body
afterward was carried down the river
on a raft, slung in a hammock and COM
pletely covered with palm leaves, but
the natives who saw the passage of the
raft are uncertain whether he was dead
or alive.
This. together with the claims OF
Trias and others of the ipsurgent gen.
erals, to be the chief commander OF
the army. lead the local Manila papers
to give considerable credence to the
story.
