FINDS REBEL PAPERS
Gen. Funston Makes an Important
Capture Near Bongabon.
STATE ARCHIVES FROM MALOLOS
Fiipinos Had Hidden Them in a
Dense Forest.
AGUINALDo's LETTER BOOK

VANCOUVER, B. c., June S.-A copy of
the Manila Times received by the Idzuma
Maru tells of an important discovery of in
surgent documents and other articles which
had been hidden by the Fflipinos. 1t says:
'On May 2, Gen. Funston was making a
personal reconnaissance with eighteen
troopers in the direction Of Bongabon and
Pontabagan, up the Rio Grande de Papa
pamnga, when he discovered n perpendicu-
lar ladder leading up a cliff crowned with a
dense forest. Beside the ladder hung a
rope which, when pulled, rang an alarm
bell in the woods back of the precipice.
The general and his men ascended the
ladder and found thirty or forty large
wooden cases crammed full of state docu-
ments, comprising most of the archives OF
the government. There were other things
saved from the wreck of Malolos, about
1000 Hotchkiss shells, a quantity of dyna-
mite, a stock of bombs and much other
ammunition, 200 pounds of black gunpow-
der Office furniture from the Malolos Au-
diencia, carpets. chairs. tables and lot OF
miscellaneous goods of no special impor-
tance.
Documents the Main Prize.
The documents were the principal prize.
After as good an inspection as circum-
stances permitted, Cen Funston set aside
several tons of useless rubbish and burned
it on the spot, saving the state papers
These comprise all the correspondence Of
Aguinaldo and his chief officials from the
time of the earliest dealings with Dewey
down to the hurried migration from Ma
lolos. (Archives subsequent to that date
were, it will be remembered. taken at Tar
lac in the middle OF last year,.
There are letters to and from Wildman
and Dewey, besides several business firms
in Manila. Aguinaldo's own letter book
giving press copies of everything he wrote
is also there 1t is rumored that the cor
respondence shows some firms in Manila,
heretofore unsuspected, to have had rela-
tions with the rebels.
THE whole cache was ingeniously hidden
among the trees in the ravine and rooted
over heavily with nipa to an unusual thick
ness. The structure made quite a big
warehouse. with not an inch of space
vacant. 1t was found later that there were
other approaches to the cache just like the
one described, with alarm bells everywhere.

NEWS AND VIEWS.

A Morristown, n. j., man. who had
no confidence in savings banks, some
time ago had his savings OF a lifetime
changed into big bills. These he tied
up carefully in a paper package and
secreted in his house. The other day
he wished to add bill to his hoard.
Where he had left his treasure he
found the cutest little mouse nest in
the world, with three or four little
squeakers in 1t. The bills were all
chewed up so fine to make the building
material for the nest that they were of
no use.
Nearly thirty years ago Jonas Sill
verman, farmer living near Spring

SENSATION IN WORTH COUNTY.
Three Prominens Citizens Indicted for Muir
der Committed Three Years Ago.

ISABELLA, GA, Oct. 27.-The grand
jury of Worth county superior court
has indicted Sol, Bob and Bill Rouse
for murder, and the latter two have
been arrested and lodged in Jail.
The indictments are the result OF
the death of mGn named Woodward
about three years ago Woodward s
life was insured for $4,000, and the
beneficiary of the policy was member
of the Rouse family. About three
months after the policy was taken out
Woodward was found in the road Lear
the home of the Rouses in an uncOn-
scious condition. He had bad wound
on the head which resulted in his
death. The Rouses explained Wood
wards injuries by saying that his
horse ran away with Woodward
and threw him out of the buggy
and against a tree. The grand
jury, however. did not accept this solu-
ton of the affair, but found true bills
against the men named charging them
with murder.
1t is not known upon what evidence
the grand jury made the indictments,
but it is rumored that evidence OF a
damaging nature was introduced.
The Rouses are prominent people in
the county, living up in the Warwick
neighborhood. Their Indictment on
such a serious charge has created much
excitement.

DO YOUR DUTY, DEMOCRATS.

Although there is no possibility OF
Georgia going any way other than
democratic in the national election
next Tuesday, November 9th, every
democrat should realize that it is his
duty to vote. This is service due to
all of the nominees of the party, but
more to our congressman than to any
one else. 1t not infrequently happens
that they are greatly embarrassed and
their influence on particular questions
decidedly lessened by the small vote
by which they are elected. The re-
publicans persistently put wrong con-
structiOns on this small vote. and do
not hesitate to claim N connection
with it that but for the intimidation
or prevention las they claim of repub-
lican votes the state would 60 against
the democrats. The facts on the surface
bear them out in these claims, and our
representatives are, to say the least,
embarrassed by them.
Especially have we of the second dis
trict, and more especially of Terrell
county, an incentive to vote. We are
all more than gratiied at the distinct
lively high stand Hon. j. NJ. Griggs
has taken in congress, and it is GER
tainly as little as we can do to give
him a practically unanimous endorse
ment; and in no way can this be better
done than by giving him unanimous
vote. He will deeply appreciate such
action, not as a personal compliment
but because it will have a great ten
dency to increase his influence in con-
gress and enable him to more effect
ually serve the people he represents.
Remember the day, democrats, and
do your duty.
