Samar. killing 10 and wounding I. The
remainder Of the company arrived on
the scene in time TO prevent further
slaughter and routed the enemy, kill

1t is believed that the enemy only
retired for reiufovcements. AS soon as
the news was received at Catbalogan,
two gunboats were dispatched. Gen
eral Smith going in person to the
scene.
Fiske Warre.i, the first man TO take
the oath Of allegiance required under
the recent act OF the Philippine COM
mission of all suspects attempting to
land. has been closely identified with
Sixto Lopez. Many reasonable and
intlammatory proclamations were
found in his baggage Regarding these
he said he had only one copy OF each
having retained these as souvenirs. II
is known also that he was intimate
with the members Of the junta in Hong
Kong. He at first objected to taking
the oath. saying that he was a loya
citizen. But ne signed II when notified
that on no other condition would ne
be allowed to land.

Two Important Amendmcnts.

Senator Taylor's biennial election
bills, Nos 317 and 31S, have been
signed by Governor Orman. These two
measures, from an economical stand
point are by far the most important
and far-reaching of any bills that have
been passed by the Legislature for
many years, and they represent the
fnal success of the senator's efforts for
number of years past. They both
provide for constitutional amendments
to be submitted to the people at the
general election in 1902. If they are
then adopted, as they unquestionably
will be, there will be no more county
or district elections in this state in the
odd years, as heretofore, as the county
and district officers will be elected at
the general state elections in the even
years.
The reason these two measures We're
put in separate bills is because. accord
ing to the Taylor amendment OF last
fall, all amendments must be submit
ted to the people separately, so that
they may consider and vote upon them
separately.
Senate Bill 31T is an amendment to
Article 6, and applies to district attor-
neys and county judges. 1t extends
the term of office of all district attor-
hV! . III tnls state one year. ana makes
them hold until January, 1908, and the
county judges elected ut the election
this fall will also hold until January,
1903; and thereafter each of these Off
GERS Will be elected for the term of
four years. This bill also provides that
the Legislature may provide for the
payment of n salary to each of these
officers, instead of fees, as the constitu-
ton heretofore provided.
Senate Bill 31S is an amendment to
Article ii, and applies to all other
county officers. 1t extends the term of
office of all county officers that will be
elected this fall one year, so that they
Will hold for three years instead of two,
and their term of office will expire in
January, 1905. Thereafter all county
officers will be elected at the same time
the state officers are elected for the
The Elk Mountain pilot., 1901-04-02

period of two years, excepting the
county commissioners, whose terms of
office will be four years. This bill also
provides that the Legislature may if it
sees fit, enact a law providing for the
payment of Il salary to all county Off
GERS. instead of fees, as has been the
constitutional provision heretofore.
Three years ago Senator Taylor cor
responded with large number of the
county clerks of the state to ascertain
the exact cost of an election in this
state, and learned through actual fig
ures that the enactment of these two
measures will be a direct saving to the
taxpayers of this state of nearly n
quarter of a million dollars every al
ternate year. The district attorneys
and county judges, as well as all coun-
ty officials in the state. are very much
interested in these measures, and have,
since they learned their purport, been
exercising their influence in theiy be-
half, and there is no doubt that when
1t comes to the election of 1902 the in
terest which all county officials in the
state will have in seeing them enacted
as they will extend their terms of of
flee one year, as before, shown-will
constitute very strong element of
support for these measures in every
county, so that it seems safe to say
that they are just as good as enacted
into the constitution just now.

The Presidents Travels.

If all goes well, President Mckinley
intends to swing around the circle this
spring, taking with him his Cabinet
and his cares of office. The itinerary of
what will be the most notable of presi-
idential excursions crosses the contl-
nent by the southern route, touches th'
Gulf Of Mexico, skirts the golden coast
from the southernmost corner of Cali
fornia away up to Puget sound, drops
back through Idaho, Utah and Colora-
do to the nations geographic center in
Kansas, ascends again to the northern
tier at Duluth, and traverses the Great
Lakes to Buffalo, where the Pan-Amer-
lean exposition will then be open to
receive the distinguished party.
From many quarters and for many
months the pressure has been strong
upon Mr.. Mckinley to undertake
journey such as this. Other presidents
have swung the circle during their
terms in office, but what will distin-
guish his travels from those of most of
his predecessors is the circumstance
that he has waited until no possible
suspicion of campaigning for himself
could attach to his movements. Mr..
Mckinley has been reelected and
second time inaugurated, Into his in
tercourse with his friends and fellow
citizens around the great circle of the
spring of 1901 no motive of political
ambition, and no thought of self-pro-
motion can enter.
In the choice of the time for his
journey the President manifests again
the dignity and instructive good taste
that have marked so many other de-
tails of his public career. He is a
consummate politician, but his political
art is not of the ordinary kind. An
ordinary politician would have swung
around the circle just one year ago.
The compensation for the postpone
ment will come in the genuine and uni
versally friendly interest with which
Americans of all parties will contem-
plate the Presidents progress to the
Pacific and back. He will visit In his
course not less than twenty-three or
twenty-four states and territories; and
everywhere it will be his privilege and
satisfaction to note, without disturb
ing thought of campaign duties, the
multifold evidences of national pros
perity which his first election assured
and his second election safeguarded.-

The Bon Marche. the great depart
ment store of Paris. feeds its 1000
employees. The smallest kettle in its
kitchen has a capacity of 100 quarts,
and the largest 500. Each of the fifty
frying pans is big enough for 300 cut
lets. Every dish for baking potatoes
holds 225 pounds. When omelets are
on the bill of fare. $500 eggs are used
at once. For cooking alone sixty cooks
and 100 assistants are usually at the
ranges.

Philanthropy has been defined as
Toms opinion of what Dick ought to
do for Harry. An ounce of illustratin
is worth ton of definition. A visitor
at a Hartford hospital was told that
nancy Cornelius,a "a young Indian nurse,
could earn twenty dollars week in
that city, and have all her time en-
ployed. Feeling call of duty to the
sick and aged among her own people
this splendidly equipped woman offer
ed her services as doctor, nurse,
housekeeper and scrubwoman in a lit
tie hospital among the Wisconsin In
dians. For this arduous work she re-
ceives the meager sum of 5000 a year.
Her returns in gratitude. and the
humble efforts of her people to follow
her lead to better things, pass all com
putation.

Ohio capitalists closed deal recent
ly for the purchase of 1000 acres of i'm
proved Florida lands, located on the
ST. Johns river. forty-five miles south
of Jacksonville. On the land is
beautiful magnolia grove and it is SO
situated that it is very desirable for
residence purposes. During the COM
ing summer the new owners will erect
several handsome houses thereon, and
the entire tract will be fenced and used
as a game preserve for the enjoyment
of the owners and their friends.

Mothers never have any trouble with
the naturally curly locks of their chill
dren, but it is the straight ones which
perplex them. Some hair doctors" say
that IL child's hair be brushed up
ward instead of downward from in
fancy it will have acquired tendency
to curl by the end OF the first year. In
fact, hair dressing is detail that re-
ceives too little attention in the case
of little girls. Probably not one

tour of her daughters face with view
to finding the most becoming head
dressing.
