many cases were marked for trial.

the former Judge was maker. The PEN

three wears of the term unexpired.
Money for salary in the hands of muni-

There is very general satisfaction over
the more peaceful aspect, though appre-
hension continues that the contending
: elements may yet clash when the issues
are forced and an attempt is made to
put into effect the mandates of the re-
spective governors.
Members of the Kentucky delegation
in congress confess that they are as yet
unable to forcsce the outcome. So far as
can be ascertancd there has been no
concerted movement among the Ken
| tuckians at the capital TO suggest any
! steps looking to peaceable solution of
| the situation; they are simply waiting.
Nor have there been any further mes
| sages between President Mckinley and
Governor Taylor bearing on the situation

tucky district is leaving for home. and il

VII MINCyrON DELAWARE, TUESDAY. FEBRUARY q, 1900.

Six, z, s O'Clock pass. No sound save
the mosquitoes and the cracking OF the
joints where great water buffalo turns
uneasily in his wallow.
The men wrap their heads in their wet
blankets and curse steadily. There is
riff, crack in the darkness and spatter
of shots from the north.
s'There's firing" some one says.
Then rumble of artillery fire miles
and miles away. Another hour passes
and voley of shots close at hand bring
the outposts to their feet.
A dim shadow against the sky line
catches some ones eye and he drops in
the grass to wait. 1t does not develop
into foe 30 the officer starts out with
his patrol to visit the more distant
posts.
They keep out of the wet as much as
possible for while, by crawling along
the terraces in the rice swamps, but
presently the leader slips into mud and
water up to his waist and the rest follow
suit.
They go half mile when they are
halted. Clear and distinct from the post
they have Just left comes the "Halt!
Who goes there?" of the sentry. There
is breathless pause, and the crack oi
rifle from the post brings the patrol to
| the s'double time" across the swamp.
Breathless, muddy, wet and profane,
they get back to find that the enemy has
| escaped.
Another wait OF an hour or so ensues
Then patrol goes down across the rice
swamp TO the creek bed, favorite anc
easy road by which to smuggle rice ano
supplies to the enemy. The officer dis
poses his men along an old road ant
waits, killing time and mosquitoes.
Then d soft, bristling sound, as 0
naked feet in the grass, comes to him
The men sink spontaneously into tn
grass. The sound comes nearer, and
dozen men stagger out of the darkness
each with his hundred pounds of ric
hung in two bundles from a bamboo
across his shoulders. Some of them dro
the load at the halt and a few pgssivel
surrender.
They are persuaded by the flat of
bayonet to take up their load and carr
Eit back again, and are forwarded /
lregimental headquarters, thence to brig
ade and general headquarters, and tn
next night do the very same thing
perhaps with better success.
Then the dawn comes again, and tn
i tired ont s'Outpost Guard" is relieve
and troops wearily in to, get wash,

keep them from getting stiff.
So they depart to their own place, som
