Farmers Getting Telephones.

That farmers are getting telephones
as well as free rural delivery is evi-
denced by the following from the Sylvia
Sun. II also shows that the small towns
must keep up to date on such matters or
loose to those that do; Sylvia should
have telephone system, and right now
is the best time to have one put in. A
line is being built from here to Mr. Hin
shaws home at Huntsville. This will be
connected with Sterling, and in the in
terest Of trade and for the convenience
of rural residents, Peace Creek should be
connected with this line. The business
interests of Sylvia demand that this be
done. While this Huntsville line is be-
ing put in it is also the proper time to ar.
range for having a system placed in the
town connecting every business house,
Let US meet at an early date and can
vass this question thoroughly, 1t means
holding or losing Of much trade for the
town."

Fun of Tricks.

County Attorney Carr Ia ylor was on
his high horse in the district court last
Saturday. 1t was on a motion being
argued before the court in a case in
which the countyis not a party. 1t was
was a case in which c. NJ. Bay Of Ros-
coe township had sued a commission
firm in Kansas City by the name Of Rice
for libel, Taylor and Brown represented
the commission firm while Whiteside q
Lewis represented Bay. 1t seems that
Bay has been having a large dealing
with the commission firm and is owing
them some $4,000 or that is their claim.
Bay wrote to Rice to come down here
and he thought they could reach a set
tlement, but failed. He Immediately
wired up here and had Rice served be.
fore he could get away. The attorneys
for the defense claimed the letter in
viting him down here fora settlement
was only trick hatched up 10 get him
within the jurisdiction of this court so
he could be sued and tried here among
strangers. While the court exculpated
the attorneys for the plaintiff from plan
ming such a trick, it held in substance
that some improper methods had been
employed to get him served and sus.
tanned the motion TO quash the service
on the defendant So there is one Kan
sas City commission man who will be
careful about showing himself in these
parts.

RUSSIA OVERRUN WITH ANARCHISTS The Students Have Been Driven Into Arms of the La
 Dor Party

New York, March 28-The World to- day published the following dispatch from St. Petersburg, dated March 25, and mail ed to Berlin in order to escape the cen sor:
 The distinguishing and gravest feature of the present disturbances in Russia is the evidence of an organized combination for the first time between the students and the workingmen of an obstinately revolutionary character. The government has driven the students into the arms of the labor party.
 Bogolopoff, the minister of public in- struction who was assassinated, was the worse type of the Russian bureaucrat. His administration was marked by con- tinual petty persecution of the students The petition prepared by eminent profess sors and certain senators Invoking the personal intervention of the Czar was an other proof of the panic prevailing in of ficial circles but the presentation of this petition was prevented by higher off cials.
 Another striking feature of this out break Is the refusal of large numbers of the dvorniks, or yardmen, who act as species of police reserve, to assist the reg ular police in suppressing the disorders thus manifesting sympathy with the peo- pie.
 No doubt is entertained here that the outbreak will be quelled eventually. but 1t will only be done at an incalculable cost of life and suffering.

FUNSTON'S PARENTS
 EXPRESS GREAT JOY

Iola Kas.. March 2S-In the little farm house of MT. and Mrs. F. H. Funston, parents of General Funston, there is joy and pride that are too deep for words, Five miles from telegraph wires and the daily papers, the news of the crowning achievement of their sons life was brought to them by the Associated Press representative. MT. Funston was work ing in a corn field when told the news.
 Well, that Is certainly gratifying" he exclaimed. Tt certainly adds a crown Ing glory to his career l was afraid when he started out that he might be the dupe of treacherous natives. At first l doubted the truth of the story; but the more I thought of 1t the more ere dence l gave it. This is the first time l ever saw his mother worry
 ''Oh, 1t is the biggest thing of the cen tury so far" MT Funston proudly ex- claimed as he thought the matter over q don't know what Fred will do He wrote that he expected to come home next summer, but might go back as a may give him something that would change his mind. I don't want to say anything about that"
 Mrs. Funston was found at the house. She was nervously excited over the news. her face 'beaming and her eyes dancing. She was too nervous to sit still or read the papers, but looked long at the head lines telling of the capture and the pie ture of her son. Her eyes grew dim and she said: T never lost faith in Fred's lucky star before. but l had a feeling this time that he was risking life and everything on high stake and that the end would be disastrous I was afraid that those scouts would turn trai- tor to him instead of remaining traitors to Aguinaldo."

ran to the window and shouted, Stop that foolishness; quit wasting ammuni- tion."
 Hiaro Placide, one of the Tagal of ficers and former insurgent major, who was wounded in the lul g by the fire of the Kansas regiment at the battle of Ca loosan, threw his arm around Aguinaldo, exclaiming, You are a prisoner of the Americans"
 Col. Simeon Villea, Aguinaldo's chief of staff, tor Alambra and others attack ed the men who were holding Aguinaldo. Placidan shot Villea in the shoulder. Alambra jumped out of the window and attempted to cross the river. 1t Is sup posed he was drowned. Five other in surgent officers fought for a few min utes and fled, making their escape.
 When the firing began General Fun ston assumed command and directed the attack on the house, personally assist ing in the capture of Aguinaldo. The in- surgent body guard fled, leaving twenty rifles. Santiago Barcelona, the insurgent treasurer, surrendered without resist ance.
 Aguinaldo Was Worried.
 When captured Aguinaldo was greatly exercised, but he calmed down under General Funston's assurance that he would be well treated. General Funston secured all of Aguinaldo's correspondence showing that he had kept in close touch with the sub-chiefs of the insurrection in all parts of the archipelago. It was also discovered that Aguinaldo, on Jan uary 2S, had proclaimed himself dicta- tor. He had been living at Palanar for seven months undisturbed except when a detachment of the Sixteenth Infantry visited the town. On that occasion the entire population took to the mountains and remained there until they retired
 Aguinaldo admitted that he had come near to being captured before, but he as- serted that he had never been wounded, adding: 'I should never have been taken except by a strategem. 1 was completely deceived by Lacuna's forged signature ' He feared he might be sent to Guam, and was quite glad to come to Manila Palanan was guarded by numerous out posts and signal stations. During the fight none of the Maccabees were wound ed.
 The expedition rested on March 24 and then marched sixteen miles one day to Palanan Bay, where General Funston boarded the Vicksburg, which brought him to Manila.
 Commander Barry of the Vicksburg rendered General Funston splendid as- sistance Aguinaldo. who talked freely of past events said he supposed General Trias would proclaim himself dictator. He did not know that Trias had surren- dered. He behaved courteousy and gave no trouble.
 General Funston says that Agulnaldo is above the average in intelligence and has prepossessing manners.

MACARTHUR SAYS FUNSTON
 IS DUE ALL THE CREDIT
Sends Official Cabegram Giving Succnct Details of the Daring Work of the Kansan, and Suggests That His Reward
 be Appointment as Brigadier in Regular Army

Washington, March 2S.-A cablegram received at the War Department late this afternoon from General McArthur tells in a succinct way the history of Aguinal- dos capture; gives all credit for the bril- liant exploit to General Funston, whose reward it suggests should be that of brigadier general in the regular army, and finally closes with an expression of con- fidence in the speedy cessation of hostil- ities throughout the Philippine archipel- ago as a result of the capture Except that 1t makes no reference to the disposi- ton to be made of Aguinaldo, the dis patch covers the whole field of specula- ton. Washington is excited by the news that Funston's adventurous expedition had succeeded. The cablegram follows:
 Manila, March 2S.-Adjutant- General, Washington:

ADMIRAL DEWEY SAYS IT
 WILL WIND UP RESISTANCE

New York, March 2S.-Admiral Dewey today, when interviewed as to the prob- able effect of the capture of Agulnaldo, said he thought it would really wind up the period of resistance. He also said:
 "Of course, we had the warning a few days ago that 1t might occur, but it looked like very risky undertaking, and if Funston had lost his life every one would have said: I told you SO It ao- pears to be very creditable piece of work on the part of Funston and in keep ing with his previous exploits. It was, in fact, a case of fighting the devil with fire. If a large force had gone against Aguinaldo he would not have been found, but this was a kind of strategy of their own, and appears to have succeeded per fectly.
 "Asuinaldo is most amiable little fel- low He does not have the education with which he has been credited, and he was not really the brains of the instruction. Mabini was really the brains of the Fili-

 This article is referred to as show ing that the warfare in the Philippines has not given Aguinaldo such a strict military status. At the same time, there is little doubt that his offcnse will be charged, the idea being that he VI

Or. it Is suggested it may be determined to send him away from Manila, probably to the Island of Guam. The suggestion that Aguinaldo be banished seems popular with some government officials and in this country they instance the act of Great Britain in sending General Cronje to the Island of St. Helena.

PROF. SCHURMAN WANTS
 AGUiNALDo MADE GOVERNOR

Ithaca, March 28-Prof. J. c. schuman of Cornell University, who was head of the first Philippine commission, today said:
 "Our object Is good government in the Philippines. Aguinaldo has shown ad- minstrative gifts of high order and just as soon as he follows his late colleagues in taking the oath of allegiance and ac- cepting American sovereignty he should utilize h!s gifts in fulfillment of our taz.S of government of the archipelago.
 "I should think 1t highly appropriate to appoint him governor of Cavite, Bula- can or some other Tagalo province.
 "The greater problem of government is to be solved by our using the national leaders of the Fillpinos in high offices and giving the different peoples self-gov- ernment, municipal and provincial of which they are capable as well as repre- sentative in the government, which must, however, be kept under American con- trol."

 $ OFFICIALS DISCUSS THE REWARD OF FUNSTON. Washington. March 2S-There Is much speculation as to the reward General Funston may receive for his work. It is considered not im- q probable that his reward will be commission in the regular army.

pino rebellion, and Aeuinaldo was the ac- tive leader. I admit I did not give him credit for the abilities that he has shown but he is certainly not a man of very great ability One thing I wonder about Is that the dispatches today from Ma nila describe him as talking freely. When 1 first saw him he was notably re- ticent and good deal of his strength came from the fact that he did not talk much. The people believed he was invul- nerable however and that no harm could be done him.
 There was a story current, in fact, that a dozen men had stood up and fired at him as a test. l suppose there were no bullets in the guns. The story went everywhere. The people are intensely su- perstitious and they believed no harm could befall him.
 "Tt will take some time now for the news to get around, and at first the peo- pie will refuse to believe 1t, but after the news does finally get. around through the islands 1 fully believe that organized re- sistance will collapse. Of course, there will be sporadic disorder for a long time to come, but I do not believe there will be anything serious. '"
 What do you think ought to be done with Aguinaldo now?"
 Send Him to Guam.
 ''Well, it seems to me as good a thing as could be done for the present would be to send him to Guam. It is the same sort of a climate as In the Philippines, and there would be no hardship in the change, and there would be no chance to possibly escape"
 Admiral Dewey continued:
 Looking over the events of the past two years I am sometimes impressed with the idea that possibly the trouble with the Fiipinos might have been avoid ed; but when I say that l say the hind sight is better than foresight. l have no criticism for any one. but it can be seen now that the Americans who first went there hurt the pride of the Fili- pinos. If we had made better effort to flatter them 1t Is possible the thing 1 would have gone more smoothly, but l Wish to say that at the beginning I don't | believe Agul 1aldo had any idea of in | dependence at all The Filipinos simply hated the Spaniards and wanted to get rid of them in any way possible. They looked upon us as their deliverers and they did everything we told them to do. Afterwards I think it was simply a case of success, turning a mans brain in the case of Aguinaldo. 1 don't believe he had any idea of setting up an independent republic. The history of our relations with the Filipinos has never been writ ten. I have all the letters and docu- ments pertaining to it and I expect some day to write the history of the affair When all of the documents are published 1t will be perfectly clear that no obliga- tion rested upon the American forces to treat the Fllioinos as allies"

 IT MAY NOT MEAN COLLAPSE

Boston, March 2s.-secretary Frying Winslow of the Anti-Imperialistic League said today that he was not ready to state that the capture of Aguinaldo meant the collapse of the cause. There may be two or three other leaders in hiding as capable as he," said Mir. Winslow. "The Filipinos have shown that they have the ability to rule and the ability to fight for liberty. This should lead us, even if the fighting should cease with the capture of
