Resembling to questions. Serrano said:
Before the pest, cattle We're the
standard product of the islands. $4,000
to $4,000 worth being shipped annually.
A tax was levied in the Spanish time
on each head shipped to Manila; also on
shipments of copra. The average value
of cattle placed on board was about
$40 Mexican money. Three-fourths& OF
the cattle are now dead and the rest

An the testimony on the subject of

Policemen received 81 to s. Mexican per

Responding to questions, Serrano said:
that his people did not expect to attain
their former condition of prosperity for
ten years. He acknowledged that the
timber was considerable asset and
could be exported at good prices: also
that cocoanut trees and tobacco grew
fairly we'll. but, he said, these had been
planted but little.
Mineral Wealth of Masbate.
The alleged mineral wealth OF Mas

The presidents of all the towns repre-

The commissioners questioned whether
Burias ought not to be annexed to a

and Tacao objected, contending that the

Correspondence of Associated Press)
Palanoga, Island of Masbate, March 3.
The ravages Of rinderpest has left this
island in a deplorahle condition. as the
United States Philippine commission
learned when they arrived yesterday
for the purpose of organizing a proVln-
cial government of three islands of Mas
bate, Ticao and Burias.
The chief industry of Masbate has al
ways been the raising of beef cattle,
and in the Spanish days Manila derived
her supply of meat from that island.
Within the last few months practically
all the cattle and caribao on the entire
island have been swept away by the
pest When the troops of Col Hare's
district came to Occupy the town of Pa
lanoga eight months ago, the inhab-
itants fled after burning most of the
houses The little place of about 300
population is recovering very SLOWLY
from these disasters and more SO as all
the people are famished on account OF
the cattle miSfortuneS. mere is to date

however, and American te:,chtrs will
soon be in charge.

from Ticao and none from the large but
rather barren island of Rurias. The men

Gently organized.
President Taft's Address.
President Taft. on behalf of the repre-
sentatives of the United States govern
ment, made an explanatory address,
! which, except in his references to the
poverty of Masbate. was similar to those
made at all points visited.
Bonifacio Serrano, candidate for gov
/ ernor, addressed the commission. saying
that although there was plenty OF lana
| in Masbate it was not sufficiently Gull
tivated to be able to meet the necessities
of the proposed provincial government
He declared that if the people We're
| taxed on the lands now. or shortly, they
would fail to raise money. He said:
The owners of the land only raise
sweet potatoes enough to eae. and there
are some few rice paddles
Judge Taft asked:
| DO not the private lands have val
ues? What is good cattle land Worth?
Serrano answered:
! Good land is worth about three pesos
per hectare. A fourth or fifth OF the
| land of this island is private holdings.

AN UNFORTUNATE AFFAIR.
Two Brothers at Humeston MI,
and Have Trouble.

A very unfortunate affair and one Ito
be deeply regretted took place two miles
south of Humeston Saturday, caused
almost entirely by the hasty temper
Of one of the participants. About a
year ago Joe Darrah and another man
quarrled about some matter and Darrah
who is very quick tempered started to
whip the other. His brother, Mart
Darrah, interfered and the matter ap.
psrently dropped, but for some reason
or other Joe Darrah brooded over it and
apparently bore his brother a grudge
for his interference. Last Friday both
men were in Humeston and Joe got
angry over some matter and abused and
cursed his brother in what hearers claim
was shameful manner, threatening to
get even with HIM for his interference of
year ago. Mart paid no attention to
the matter out went about his business.
On Saturday morning Mart started to a
sale in buggy and was overtsken by
his brother, who jumped out and at
tackled him with club. In attempting
to ward off the blow Mart's left arm was
broken. 1t is very unfortunate affair
and much to be regretted. -Corydon

DECATUR COUNTY BOYS KILLED.
Russell Warner and Kit torrance, of
Morgan Township, Are Killed
Close to Fairfield.

Tuesday morning Sheriff Burns re-
ceived message from the sheriff at
Fairfield saying the dead bodies of two
young men supposed to be Russell
Warner and Moses N. Harkin, of near
Spring Valley. had been found on the
railroad track two and half miles east
of Fairfield, and requested him to COM
municate the news to their relatives.
By means of the telephone word was
sent to George Warner who lives be.
tween Spring Valley and Morgan and
from him it was learned the dead boys
were his son Russell Warner and q
young man named Kit Torrance, who
resided near him, and who some.
times went by the name of Moses N.
Harkin. The boys were about Is years
old and left home few days ago ex.
pecting to secure work on the railroad
and nothing had been heard of them
until news of their death. Mr.. Warner
went to Fairfield Tuesday and the
bodies were brought to Lineville yester-
day morning. from which place the
funeral was held. The particulars of
the sad accident are very meagsr, the
following special to the Burlington
Hawk-Eye giving all that is known:
Fairfield, Iowa, Oct. S.-The bodies
of the two young men found on the G.
B. d @. tracks two miles east Of this
city last night have been fully identi-
fled. Their names are Russell Warner
and Moses N. Harkin, and their parents
live at Morgan, Decatur county. The
father Of Warner will arrive here this
evening to take charge of the bodies.
"How the men met death is a mys.
terry, as beyond the terrible fractures of
the skulls there is not wound on either
body. When found the men were lying
side by side on the south side of the
track not more than six inches apart,
and they had evidently not been moved
more than couple of feet from the
spot where they had been struck. 1t
seems most probable that they had lain
down on the edge of the track and
were struck by an east bound train.
They had been seen in the city in the
afternoon and had disposed of knife
and pair Of scissors for 10 cents, the
sum Of money found on their bodies.
They bad not been drinking, and
why they should place themselves in
such position is unexplainable. 1t
seems impossible that it was case of
either murder or suicide. An inquest
is being held by coroner Stinson, but
it gives no promise of throwing any
light on the subject"
