TWO TONS OF FLAGS
Will Wave From Porto Rico School
Houses on July 4th.

Chicago, March 29.-The Tribune says:
American f1ags-nearly two tons of them
have been contracted for in Chicago.
with rush orders that on July the
red, white and blue may futter from
every school house in Porto Rico, teach
ing the lesson of independence day to
young and old alike in the island The
plans of the government are that by
the end of the year the flag will be as
familiar a sight in the towns and viii
lagos of the Philippines.
The order of the government calls for
flags of all sizes-smaH ones that the
or carry through the streets and into
their homes and large flags to float from
hagStaffS and building roofs over the
head of marching troops and citizens on
the day they are learning to celebrate
Each island prototype of the little school
house will have a complete outfit of the
national flag. There viii be flags for
the pupils, a flag to drape above the
teachers desk and a flag to f1utter over
the schoolhouse yard.
The purpose of the government at
Washington in giving the order is to Sc
cure sufficient flags to supply every point
on the island devoted to educational pur-
poses, that patriotism may be instilled
in the minds of the pupils by sight as
wen as by teaching.
The plan is simply carrying out one
inaugurated in the United States several
years ago of flying the American flag
from every schoolhouse throughout the
land during class hours.
Teachers from Porto Rico who visited
Washington and the other eastern cities
last fall We're all advocates of the plan
to make the flag a familiar sight in the
island They asserted that the moral
effect would be helpful and arouse a
patriotic enthusiasm in the minds of the
children.
Similar arrangements, it is understood,
are under way for the placing of a large
order of flags for the Philippines.

Executive Council Takes % Bal
lots for Commissioner.
State Officers Nearly All Have
Candidates of Their own
MIR. FINDLAY GETS TWO
Grimes and Nelson Cast Their
Votes For Him.
Initial Session Not Regarded
Seriously By the Knowing.

AS an exciting start to the election Of
a board OF railroad commissioners the
executive council took twenty-five bal
lots this morning, playing their favor
ties at the opening. George F'indlay. Of
this city, was the only candidate that
received more than one vote in all these
ballots. The knowing ones say that rot
a single winner is represented in the
original balloting.
The first ballot brought out the fol-
lowing array and votes.
Governor Stanley voted for Fred
Richter, of Wichita
Attorney General GODDARD voted for A.
D. Walker, OF Holton.
Treasurer Grimes voted for George
F'indlay-
State Superintendent Nelson voted for
George Findlay.
Auditor Cole voted for c. A Mcneil.
of Columbus.
David Crawford, Of Wyandotte.
Before the baIloting began Governor
Stanley announced that it was the duty
of the council to elect three railroad
years, one for a term Of two years, and
one for a term of one year.
At the suggestion Of Attorney General
GODDARD, the council decided to fill the
threeyear term first. The ballOung
then proceeded in the order given above.
1t was an exhibition of grand-stand
work. They began voting a Republican
commissioned into the three-year place,
which it has been all along supposed
would be given to the Democratic COM
missioner on the theory that with the
shorter terms given to the Republican
members would insure them a re-elec-
tion, and thus they would in time Sc
cure four and five years respectively in
Office. It is now said that the two-year
term viii be given to the Democrat.
State Treasurer Grimes and Frank
Nelson voted together from the first
for George Findlay. This was the only
alliance apparent at the opening
At the twentieth ballot, George Clark
produced cigars and settled back in his
seat, Grant-like, to fight it out on his
line if it takes all summer
Auditor Cole created a stir to relieve
the tension at the twenty second ballot.
II want to say something right here"
said he. The spectators thought there
was going to be a break Of the dead
lock. But Cole simply wanted to pass
a. motion to prohibit smoking. This was
not done. Neither was there a move
to break the deadlock.
The council took a recess after halt
an hour Of ballcting until o'clock.
Neither Finney nor Morse were named
in the original ballot. and one OF both
of them are picked for Republican win
ners

Within limit this is indefinite. The
railroad law prescribes that the railroad

members Of the council have already

that both days may be required to iron

Accords Full Measure of Glory and
Honor to Funston

New York. March 29.-Ex- Senator r.
#. Pettigrew OF South Dakota, said In an
interview respecting Aguinaldo's capture:
II don't know that the capture of
Aguinaldo viii terminate the war in the
Philippines. am not sufficiently ac-
quainted with the Malay race to speak
of their tenacity. The capture of George
Washington would not have ended the
American Revolution.
Others would have been found to
take his place. With the Filipinos 1t
may be different. The capture of Agui-
naldo may prove a very good thing for
his people.
Il consider our treatment Of the Fill
pinos constitutes one of the blackest
pages in American history. Aguinaldo
was one Of our allies and his people
should have been given their indepen-
dence when the Americans took posses
sion of the islands.
General Funsm ms act was a brave
and risky one, I'D believe it was
bona fide undertaking, for the success of
which Fusion should be we'll rewarded.
II suppose AguinaldO will be treated
as a prisoner Of war and it Will not sur
prise me to see the day when the Ameri-
can people viii recognize his true worth
and treat him accordingly"

Discusses Reward of Funston With
Government Officials.

Washington. March Representative
Long (kan) was at the war department
and discussed with officials the matter Of
adequately reWarding General Funston
for the capture of Aguinaldo. Mr. Long
says that about six weeks ago the Kansas
delegation called upon Secretary Root and
the president and recommended General
Funston for promotion and asked that he
be given some recognition for past serv-
ices 1t was said that there was no place
for General Funston except in one of the
staff departments, unless he was made 4
brigadfer general, and it was said that he
could not expect such promotion as that.
Th action of the delegation purely
voluntary, as General Funston had made
no application to them, nor had he made
any request at the war department for
recognition.

Tried to Raise the Dead.

A remarkable attempt was made in
Denmark recently to bring back to life
a man who had died in hospital. The
experiment was meaSurably successful,
as resuscitation was effected several
hours after the man was pronounced
dead. DR.. Mag, who was in charge,
was unable to maintain life, however.
The patient had died from typhoid
fever, and DR.. Mag decided to try an
experiment. Respiration had ceased
completely and the body was cold. Di-
rect massage of the heart was resorted
to. The chest was cut open directly
over the heart, and through the in
cisiOn the physician passed his hand
and seized the heart. He commenced
a series Of compressions, and in shogt
time the heart commenced to work of
its own accord. The action of the
heart gradually became stronger, but
the man had not commenced to
breathe. Only after the heart had
been acting half an hour did the first
gasp for air come.
The patient was then assisted in
this for about an hour until finally he
was able to breathe quite freely. Al
| the same time his cheeks began to as
sumo a natural color. He lay in this
| condition another half hour, but with
