resented this district IN Congress, and it
is singular coincidence that after more

Ben Harris Camalier, should have been
selected as the next nominee from old
st. Mary's. 1t Is pleasure to know
that no one more worthy could have
been found.
Mr.. Camalier is great favorlte with
the people Of his county. as shown by
his vote when elected States Attorney

veterinarian, from the State office, has

by drinking stagnant water and grazing

theory is the fact that some of the ami
mails that have died have not had access
to stagnant water or to pasture.

The fire started in the basement, which
was used as a storeroom for boxes and

The flames spread so rapidly that none of
the employees who were on the second and
third floors were able to escape by the
stairway. The girls employed in the build
ing were on the third floor, and when the
cry Of fire was raised they became panic
stricken and rushed for the windows, where
a general fight followed in the efforts to
get out. The firemen took several girls
from the third-story front windows, while
others escaped from the rear by means of
fire escapes.
Alonzo d. Ireson jumped from the third
story front window and in falling brought
with him a large sign fastened to a ledge
on the second story, to which three persons
were hanging. This precipitated all to the
stone idewalk and Ireson was instantly
killed. The others escaped with injuries.

surgents in the island of Martinique last
month, and their experience prior to their
rescue by Gen. Luther Hare. After four
weeks OF captivity, hard treatment, hun

by the rebels TO General Hare last Sunday
at Buena Vista, on the Martinique coast
Captain Shields and his party, while OPP
Grating north OF Torrijos. were taken In
ambush i'm the steep hills. They attempted
to cut their way to the coast. but became
subjected to the enemy's four-sided fire.
Captain Shields being shot twice and bad
Iy wounded. After four had been killed
and five wounded. and being out of ammu-
milton, the command surrendered through
a misunderstanding among themselves. to
twenty-five insurgent riflemen and 1000 bolo
men. The rebels separated their prisoners
into small parties and conveyed them,
heavily guarded, to impossible volcanic
mountains.

10 occupy all the towns I'm the island, and
TO scour the country. General Hare gave
- A. --s-
oners and the latter's rifles. The Ameri-
cans controlled the situation. The rebels
perceived that il was only a question Of
time when the release of their prisoners
could be effected. and they opened up COM
munications with General Hare, which re-
suited I'm the handing over the captives.
thirteen of whom, the sick and wounded,
were Immediately sent to Manila by the

Until Oct. 81 to surrender themselves and
the ffty-one captured rifles. If they fail
to comply he will undertake an active
punitive compaign.

fered greatly at the hands of their captors,
who robbed and maltreated them. The
rebel officers had to restrain the bolo men
from killing Americans. When wounded.
Captain Shields was unable to move. He
ordered his soldiers to go forward and to
leave him. but they declined and fought
stubbornly until they were overpowered.
The wounded praise unstintedly the care
and services rendered them during their
captivity by the hospital corps man who
was with them. p

Our pride In our country would
say: God forbid But there is some
thing that comes closer home than all
that; 1t Is the welfare and comfort of our
wives and children. a has the first
call tina should influence the head OF ev-
cry house. In 1896 there were some peo-
pie in this country who believed Mr.. Bry-
an was at least honest in his opinions.
Every day adds TO the number of men
who, though they voted for him In 1896.
now say they do not believe he was ever
honest in his intentions; that he is play

this same insane desire for Office he would
even sacrifice his own self-respect."
SHOOK HANDS OF FARMERS.
After leaving New Ulm brief stops were
made at Sleepy Eye. Springfield and San
born. where good-sized audiences. COM
posed mostly Of farmers. applauded Mr..
Hanna and Mr.. Dolliver. Mr.. Hanna spoke
a few words at Sleepy Eye and Sanborn
from the rear of his car. and at Sanborn
shook hands with as many Of the farmers
as could get near the car.
AT Tracy, Mimi, the next stopping place,
one OF the largest audiences OF the day
greeted the Republican leaders. AT this
point are located the Chicago & North
western shops, and in the crowd was a
large ~sprinkling of men wearing overalls Of
the machinist. Mr.. Dolliver had made a
short address. Mr.. Hanna spoke also about
five minutes. saying in part: I'VE have
been through trying times during the last
few years. We have seen what misrule
will bring to the people of this country.
We nave seen the ills growing out of false
doctrines and idle theories which. when
put into practice. bring disaster and dis
grace to our country. The real paramount
issue is a continuation Of our present pros
perity."
At Marshall. Mimi. 600 school children,
the entire enrolment of the schools of that
place, were included in the audience. Here
Senator Hanna made a speech of some
length. reviewing the records of the two
parties on the trust and tariff questions,
following the same line Of argument as in
previous speeches.
Between Marshall and Minneola, the next
stop. farmers had gathered at every road
crossing and cheered the train as IL passed
by. Stops were made at Minneola and
Candy, Mimi. and at dusk the South Da-
kota state line was crossed. At Gary and
Altmont the train stopped for a moment
while Senator Hanna addressed a few
words to the assembled crowds and shook
hands with as many as could reach him.
