Ward Indulgesi In a Fight That Drew Out

Ward Indulgesi In Fight That Drew Out
some Strong Points,
There was merry scrap at Ward
Thursday afternoon, the principals being
Denny Sullivan of Boulder. his brother
Jerry. the Goddard brothers and Thomas
Harper. The fight lasted one round and
was draw. That is to say. Tom Harper
was drawn out of the creek where Jerry
had pitched him. 1t was a mixing of
Tom and Jerry such as Ward had never
seen before. Young Willis Gilbreath,
who came down to Boulder to see the
circus, and is prominent citizen of
Ward, gives it as his opinion that the
Sullivan brothers are good parties TO
avoid when scrap is on. Denny
fioo,ed his man with rock, but not until
he had almost paid the supreme debt at
the wrong end of gun 1t was Harper
who drew it, but it was a hlm nerless
and wasn't fixed right for work. Then
Harper went into the creek and the
"gun" rolled down n the torrent. He
was delighted to get out alive, Accord
ing to referee Gi!breath, the Harper
crowd began the fight. 1t was due to a
division line dispute, Harper and Sulli'
van owning adjacent lots. upon which
they are about to rebuild.

MORGAN LAST CARD.
Final Effort to Secure Nicaragua
Canal Legislation.

Washington, June 4.-Senator Nor
gan from the committee on interoceanic
canals today favorably reported the
resolution for the abrogation of the
Clayton-B ulwer treaty. As reported
the resolution reads:
That the treaty known as the Clay
ton-Bulwer treaty between Great Brit
ain and the United States which was
concluded on the 18th day of April, 1850,
is abrogated."
In presenting the resolution Mr.. Nor
gan made written report traversing
the grounds for the abrogation of the
treaty in considerable detail.
The report is practically a plea for
the house Nicaragua canal bill. In 1t,
ton-Bulwer treaty stands in the way of
the purposes of our government, it
must give way to the paramount law
if the house bill is enacted into a sta
tute of the United States
He admits, however that it is
question whether it is an obstruction.
The effect of the ay-Pauncefote
negotiation is discussed in detail and
the conclusion is drawn that '.as to all
that relates to the canal, the Hay
Pauncefote treaty, if ratified, terminates
and abrogates the Clayton-Bulwer
treaty" But he says if the senate
treaty the startling question will be
raised whether the senate in the eXer-
else of its treaty making power can
abdicate or paralyze its treaty making
power.
Can one board of the senate by do
mating the Hay-Pauncefote negotia-
| tiOn,' he asks, compel a majority of
the senate to abstain from enacting
| the house bill because the Clayton
/ Bulwer treaty would be thereby put in
| to full effect as bar to such actions 2''
In conclusion. the report say that
| ''if the Clayton Bulwer treaty is in force
i and if they insist it is. the cellar duty
| of congress is to declare that it is abro-
| gated"
If the treaty is abrogated the conclu-
| sion is that the way is cleared for pro-
posing to Nicaragua and Costa Rica
| such terms as may be appropriate for
acquiring in those states whatever
| rights and powers they are at liberty tC
| concede to enable the United States tt
| construct and control the canal; and al
so to open the way for such a genera
declaration as to the neutrality of thS
canal as shall meet the appreciation Of
the civilized powers.
IF this resolution is rejected and tn,
Hay Pauncefote treaty is not ratified
we will be left" says the report, ito tn
alternative we should now accept of de
claring that the Clayton BulWer treat.
can not stand as a perpetual barrier /
such is the pleasure of Great Britail
against the right of the United State
to construct and own a ship canal il
connection with Costa Rica and Nicar
aqua to connect the waters of the At
lantic and Pacific oceans.
THE passage of the house bill nov
pending in the senate should be the frs
step in this indispensable movement
and the senate should not permit tn
conclusion it may reach on the Hay
Pauncefote treaty which is a minO
majority of this body in its action O
the house bill"

AGAIN ISLANDER TOPEKA.

The Lawrence Journal, Atchison Globe
and Wichita Eagle are wasting their
editorial space to prove that Topeka
desecrated Me1lorial day. The inference
is that instead of properly observing the
occasion the people f1ocked to the street
fair. The criticisms of these papers are
nearly always due to jealousy, but it is
strange that the editors are not more
particular about the truth. There has
rot been for years a greater demonstra-
ton of respect for the dead veterans
than was shown in Topeka this year.
The procession was larger than usual
The audiences which listened to the
addresses were limited only by the
capacity of the churches in which serv-
ices were held. The gates of the street
fair were not opened until after the
services. While the people of their
cities were attending ball games or
horse races. Topeka was hOnoring the
fallen heroes. 1t would be a good plan
for Wichita, Atchison and Lawrence to
remove the BEAM

LESSONS TAUGHT
By the War Between British and
Beers.


New York. June A Herald special
from Washington says:
So important are the lessons taught
by the Boer war that Secretary Root
has given instructions that the reports
of the American army officers who have
been sharply watching the South Afri-
can military operations be published in
pamphlet form for the benefit of the
service.
Officers of the army who have been
closely following the war say that while
the lessons taught cannot be regarded
as especially new the operations have
substantiated these important conclu-
siOns:
The avoidance of frontal attacks upon
an enemy's position, especially in close
order formation The necessity of hav-
ing the latest small arms and artillery.
The undesirability of risiking artil-
lery as General Butler did at ColensO.
The value of effective scouting.
The presence of ample cavalry and
artillery
Brigadier General Greedy, chief signal
officer. made this statement regarding
conclusions he had drawn as a result
OF the war:
"Tne South African war will do more
to preserve peace during the next 20
years than The Hague conference or
anything of that character. The ire
mendous efficiency of modern arms of
precision using smokeless powder on
ground specially suited for defense has
been made so apparent by this war that
every military student has learned the
almost impossibility of capturing any
difficult position, especially by frontal
attack Although the individual Boer
is a man of great bravery, resourceful-
ness, and possessing soldierly qualities
generally, yet it is to be remarked that
the Transvaal army has not captured
a single position during the entire war.
On the other hand, the British army
has found it almost impossible to cap
ture any position but has won it's way
by outIanking the Boer positions and

HIT AFTER SENATORSHIP
Congressman From Ninth District
Will Enter the Field.

Chicago, June 4-Congressznan Robert
R. Hit, according to reliable advices
from his home territory and from
Washington, will be a candidate for
United States senator in the Forty-sec-
ond general assembly. The Tenth sena-
torial district convention, which viii be
held next Thursday, is expected to
launch his boom. Ogle and Winnebago
counties make the district. Winnebago
is supposed to have been instructed for
Senator Cullom, but some of its leaders
say instructions will be disregarded for
the home candidate.
It is assumed that Governor Tanner,
falling to get the senatorship for him
self would help Hit, or almost any
body, rather than see Senator Cullom
reelected. All of which must make the
Ninth district congressman a formid-
able candidate When Mr.. Hit sought
the senatorship in 1897, he was much
closer to it than the caucus vote indica-
ted.
