CIVILIZATION.

A country's civilization consists
not in the extent of its territory, not
in its fields and acreage, not in its
standing armies, its mines and Its
merchandise, not in the size OF the
cities, population, or its crops; but
in the character of the men and
,Uon,en 1t turns out.
--Razph Wal1o Emerson.
Civilization is an idea, n method OF
living, an attitude Of respect toward
all men. We actually come to be-
lieve in our confusion that it is the
opening OF gold mines, the establish
ment Of garrisons, the controlling OF
weaker men by brute force.

London, Nov. 16.-The serious ap-
prehension with which the announce
ment was made of the fact that the
czar was suffering from typhoid fever
filled Europe, emphasizes how muc!
the peace of the world is believed to

statement contained in the official
bulletin that his malady was taking a
thordoughly favorable course, tf.,
news of his illness would have created
nothing less than CONSERVATION. Tt
is generally felt at the present crit

circles any other issue of his majes-

the czar's illness with peculiar sym
pathy. The Times remarks it has

that the czar "reciprocated national
sentiment toward the cherished real

Manila, Nov. 20.-( First uncensored
Eews by cablegram since American
occupation Last week witnessed a
very considerable increase in rebel
and American activity in the field.
Many skirmishes occurred, and there
were several small engagements in
northern and southern Luzon. The
termination of the rain permits the
resumption of operations on both
sides. Notable among the weeks en-
gagements was General Grants adj
vance, with Maccabebe and American
scouts, upon n rebel stronghold
thirty-fve miles north of Manila,
which was defended by 200 insurgents
armed with rifles. After skirmishing
and fighting the greater part of the
day and night, the enemy was dis
lodged from the mountain fastness
and immense quantities of rice and
ammunition were destroyed. Fifty
Filipinos were killed and many
others wounded. The insurgents car
ried off their dead. The American
LOSSES were eleven privates and one
officer wounded and one Maccabebe
killed.

Victory for Saloons.

Sioux City, Nov. 16.-The saloon
men in Sioux City have just won out
in a contest with the prohibitionists
of that county. The prohibltionists
dispute the sufficiency of the petit
ton of consent under which she sa-
loon men are doing business, and
brought injunction suits against six
teen liquor dealers to restrain them
from doing business. The saloon
men held that whether or not the
petition of consent was good it had
been approved by the board of super
visors, which made it of force until an
appeal from the action of the board
had been taken an upheld. Judge
Hutchinson held this to be the proper
view and refused to grant the iniunc-
tions. In Woodbury. county the pro-
hibitionists have gone about the mat
ter in different way, attacking tho
petition of consent rather than the
saloon men.

with the United States and the internation

blood thirsty expeditions which have been

atrocious deed.
1t was 6:23 o'clock when the father
of the murdered girl touched the

brute suffered while the flames shriv-

ed from the terrible contortion of his
face and the cries he gave from time
to time. The eXecutioners, who num-
bered about 800 citizens of Lincoln
county, had not me least semblance
of the or>.4nary mob. Their every act
was cool and deliberate, and during
all the preparations, as well as
throughout the sufferings of the ne

was uttered. Grimly they stood in a
circle about the fire until the body
was quite consumed and then took

The most remarkable century in
the flight of time closes with the
most happy and prosperous year in
the history of our nation and our
state. Very abundant has been the
yield from our lands, great has been
the product of our mines, the output
OF our factories, and the increase of
our herds. Our people have advanced
in all that pertains to material pros
perity, and have become wiser and
better as the years have come and
gone; and now, at the close of Ammo
Domini nineteen hundred, standing at
this elevation, with increased hope
and yet loftier aspiration, it is but
reasonable that a great and apprecia-
tive people tarry for day to give
thanks to the Great Giver of all that
is good and the Preserver of all that
is best.
I therefore recommend that on
Thursday, November 20. the people Of
the commonwealth of Iowa assemble.
as far as shall be convenient, in their
places of worship, and there, and in
their homes, render grateful praise
and Thanksgiving to Almighty God
for blessings past and present, and
make devout supplication for a con-
tinuation of that providential guild

and on which we must rely for yet
grander achievement.

DErAuLrER FOR LARGE SUM.
Bookkeeper in q Cincinnati Bank TAX.
S2lO.OOO.

S2IO.OoO.
Cincinnati, o., Nov. 20.-United
States Bank Examiner Tucker has
taken possession of the German Ma
tional bank in Newport, KY, and
posted notice that the bank will
remain closed pending an examina.
tion.
Examiner Tucker also announced
unofficially that Frank M. Brown, the
individual bookkeeper and assistant
cashier, was missing and that par
tial investigation slowed short
age of about $2O1, 900. Brown has
been with the bank eighteen years
and was one of it's most trusted en-
p1oyes. 1t is stated by the experts
that his operations extended back
as far as ten years. The capital
stock is only 100000. Browns al
legged shortage is double that amount
and more than the reserve and all
the assets, including their real es-
tate. The officers of the German
National bank are all wealthy and
responsible men, and they will be
able to make the losses good.
Bank Examiner Tucker took pos
session on Sunday, because of the
panic in Newport that followed at
once on the publication of Browns
absence and alleged defalcations.
The bank examiner posted notice
that the bank would not be opened
tomorrow, pending investigation, but
it is generally believed that this pro,
ceeding will not prevent stampede
tomorrow. as the excitement in New.
port up to late hour tonight was
Intense.
