Are We to Have A butcher WeyAer
Campaign In the Philippines?
The news of the renewed lighting In
the Philippines manifestly has been re-
ceived in Washington. A recent dis
patch from there says: "Lord Kiteh-
ener's plan of operation in South Africa,
harsh though it appears to be, appeals
to officials of the war department, and
during the coming campaign in the
Philippines no mercy is to be extended
to those in active rebellion or those
who give aid or comfort to the insur-
gents. 1t is now proposed TO give the
Filipinos a taste of real war and
though the innocent may suffer, it is
only by this means, tits believed, that
the guilty can be reached. Three
years ago, if any one had said that no"
this country would be planning such a
campaign of determination against q
People whom we were to buy without
consulting them, he would hsve been
denounced as slanderer of America

MOB WATCHED IT'S VICTIM
As Apache Indians Have Often d,
When Torturing Their victims.

As Apache Indians Have Often Done
When Torturing Their Victims.
In terrible screeches these words,
the first he had uttered aloud, came
from the negro. A terrible Juggling at
the chains, succession of awful
groans and screams; the negroes agony
was at last breaking down his sulleni
composure. Not an oath escaped him,
but he begged and pleaded to be Shot.
Suddenly the rope holding his hands
burned through. Then arms, head and
shoulders slipped through the chains.
For an instant the body stood erect,
the arms were raised in supplication,
while burning pieces of clothing
dropped from them. The body then fell
away from the fire. the head lower
than the feet, still fastened to the rail.
This was not expected, and for a
few minutes the stolid mob was dis
concerted; 1t feared that the only re-
maining chain would give way. If this
had occurred the partly burned human
being would have dashed among them
IN his blazing garments. And not
many would have cared to capture him
again. But the chain held fast The
body was then in such position that
only the legs We're in the fire. The
cries of the wretch were redoubled and
he again begged to be shot. Some
wanted to throw him over into the fire,
others tried to dash oil upon him.
Boards were carried and large pile
made over the PROSTATE body.
They soon were ignited, and the ter
rible heat and lack of air quickly rem
dered the victim unconscious, bring
Ing death few moments later. Then
the members of the mob said good
night and went home. They did not
stop to discuss the affair.

The judge asked him if he did not
intend making any defense, and he re-
piled that he did not; that the prosecu-

there was no crime. The judge then

The train bearing the negro in the
custody of Sheriff Freeman and his
deputies arrived in Limon at 3:45 p. IN.
The cars were crowded with newspa-
per reporters and people who were Gu
rious to see the negro executed. r. w.
Frost, the murdered girls father, was
one of the passengers. When the train
stopped sixteen men of the mob en-.
tered the train and demanded the pris-
oner from the sheriff. The officer pro-
tested in the name of the law, and
asked the men to allow him to take
his prisoner to the county jail at Hugo,
but his protests were disregarded. One
man carried a rope on which had been
formed Il hangman's moose. This was
slipped over the negroes neck.
1t was at first announced that the
negro was to be executed by hanging.
Many. including the father of the ne
gro's victim. protested that such Il
death would be too easy. and it was
finally decided to leave the method Of
death to the outraged father. He de-
cided upon burning at the stake. The
train was then allowed to proceed. and
at Lake Station, about three miles
from Limon, and near the scene of the
negro's crime, the party left the train
and began preparations for the deed
of vengeance.
The negroes crime was the murder
of n young girl whose body was found
stabbed in fourteen places. The prep
aration for the above entertainment
were made publicly and were known
all over the United States long before
the entertainment cc&Ae off. 1t WIS
known the negro would be killed by q
mob if he was taken back to Limon
without very strong and very loyal
guard There was not the possibility
of doubt IS to that matter. But the
burning was new idea.

MONTICELLO.
The official report of the census for
Iowa has just been made public. and it
fully establishes our claim to place
among the most thrifty cities in the
state.
In 1880 the population of Manches-
ter was 2,275, in 1890, 2,344 and in 1900,
1857. In the ten years from 1880 to
1890 Manchester NADIA gain OF So, q
3per cent. gain, while in the ten years
from 1890 to 1900, Manchester made
gain of 543, % per cent. gain.
During the past ten years Indepen-
dence has only increased her population
493, a gain of but 1916 per cent, Marion
only made 8 per cent. and Monticello
an 8 per cent. increase during the
decade in question.
Taken as whole the state has made
gain of 1877 per cent. or ga per cent.
less than the gain m lde here in Man
chester, and much of this gain of 1917
is accounted for by the growth of rail-
road centers like Cedar Rapids, Water
loo, Oelwein and Ft. Dodge, and the set
Ting up of the counties in the north
western part of the state. In Della
ware County outsilS of Manchester,
the gain in popula alton is 81 per cent.
and this is about the average gain In
the good counties of the state.
Even the city of Dubuque has not
made as good showing as her Della
ware County neighbor. Dubuque, how
ever, has done we'll. She shows up
with gain of 1917 per cent. only "a
per cent behind us.
Manchester.is a clean, healthy, home.
place, admirably located, and had its
citizens reached out in years past for
the railroads which they might have
secured, there would now be clustering
here on the banks of the Maquoketa q
city of eight or ten thousand inhabi-
tants. The railroad to Cedar Rapids
was the first step in the right direction.
It did not kill Manchester during the
past ten years, nor will it during the
years to come. Ard next year Man
chester will have the shipping facilities
which it should have had years ago.
Manchester is just now on the thresh-
hold of the first real Boom in her his
tory. Next summer will witness
stirring times here in the Dairy City
and everyone might just as well COM
