VISITS M'KENZIE.
EDITOR W1NSHIP PAYS THE DIS
TINGUIsHED NORTH DAKOTAN
A VISIT IN ALAMEDA JAIL.

A VISIT IN ALAMEDA JAIL.
George B. Winship is back to Grand
Forks from the Pacific coast and
writes entertainingly of the scores OF
ex-North Dakotans he met and heard
OF indirectly on his trip. The Grand
Forks editor spent the most of his
t'me-and profits on last years bus
1ness-in Los Angeles and Pasadena
stopping at San Francisco en- route
where he visited Hon. Alex Mckenzie.
or this visit Mr.. Winship says:
Across in Oakland, in the Alameda
county jail, is Alex. Mckenzie, whose
sentence for contempt OF court has
been the subject of newspaper COM
ment all over the country. Mr. Nc
kenzie is prisoner, but he does not
wear stripes, nor does he OCCUPY a
cell. He is really not under re-
stra1nt at all, but is simply governed
b' an implied understanding that he
IS not TO leave the premises. He is
treated with every courtesy, and is as
comfortable as a man of his energetic
disposition could be expected to be
under the circumstances. His health
IS not good, but he is far from being
the broken down man described in
some of the recent press dispatches.
some two years ago he was severely
injured in an elevator accident in
New York hotel, and since that time
he has suffered greatly from nervous
trouble. This, with the lack of out
door exercise, and the annoyance
caused by the legal complications in
which he is involved, has injured his
health.

AGUINALDo's ADDRESS

FULL TEXT OF THE DOCUMENT
ISSUED BY THE NOTED FILL.
PINO.
The following is the full text OF
Aguinaldo's address to the Filipino
people:
|. Il believe I am not in error in pre.
Stunning that the unhappy fate tc
which my adverse fortune has led me
IS not surprise to those who have
been familiar with the war. The
lessons taught with a full meaning
and which have recently come to my
knowledge, suggests with irresistible
force that a complete termination OF
hostilities and lasting peace are not
only desirable, but absolutely essen
tial to the welfare of the Philippine
islands.
THE Filipinos have never been dis
mayed at their weakness, nor have
they faltered in following the path
pointed out by their fortitude and
courage. The time has come how
ever, in which they find their advance
along this path to be impeded by an
irresistible force which, while it re-
strains them, yet enlightens their
minds and opens up to them another
course, presenting them the cause Of
peace.
This cause has been joyfuily en-
braced by the majority OF my fellow
countrymen, who have already united
around the glorious sovereign banner
of the United States In this bar
ner they repose their trust and belief
that under its protection the Filipino
people will attain all those liberties
which they are beginning to enjoy.
The country has declared unmistak
ebly for peace. So be it. There
has been enough blood, enough tears
and enough desolation. This wish
cannot be ignored by the men still in
arms if they are animated by desire
to serve our noble people which has
thus clearly manifested it's will. So
do l respect this will, now that it is
known to me.
After mature deliberation reso-
lutely proclaim to the world that I
cannot refuse to heed the voice of
people longing for peace, nor the
lamentations of thousands of families
in yearning to see their dear ones en-
joying the liberty and the prosperity
Of the great American nation.
BY acknowledging and accepting
the sovereignty Of the United States
throughout the Philippine archipelago,
as I now do, and without any resesva-
tion whatsoever, I believe that I am
serving thee, my beloved countrymen.
May the: Philippines be thine.
EMILIO AGUINALDO."

TERTAINMENT. ~, - ,.>~sl&. +
The Grand Forks Plaindealer speaks
as follows of the Scottish entertain
ment recently given in that city in
which Mr.. Spence-who appears at the
Atheneum this evening-was the
principal attraction:
Those who attended the Scottish
entertainment last night are now
bestoWing, their sympathy upon those
who missed it. It is safe to say that
the affair was one Of the very best
ever given in Grand Forks, and the
large audience present testified their
appreciation Of every number on the
program BY. enthusiastic applause.
During the entire. evening there was
not q dull moment, the intervals be-
tween the musical numbers being filled
/ by Mr.. Spence with stories full Of
quaint scotch hrmors which conYulsed
the listeners. Mr.. Spence has a mag
nificent voice and his singing was
fine. ,"Wi' q Hundred Pipers an a an
a z" was stirring and the REPRESENTA-
tion OF the droning of the pipes be-
tween the verses was perfect. The
Bonnie Hoose q Ivy quite brought
down ( the house. Miss McDonald's S
voice Is except tionally clear and sweet,
and her singing was greatly enjoyed.
The program closed with Auld Lang
Syne. Altogether, the entertain
ment was fine, and i, as It Is hoped,
they can give Grand Forks date on
their return from the coast they will
be greeted BY packed house. The
next time the Metropo oIitan will be
secured, and the Scotch dances will be
given.

ING SUNG ALL OVER THE LAND.
The extension of the Bismarck,
Washburn G. Great Falls railroad to
Washburn and the advent of hundreds
of families into that part of the state
attracts universal attention. The
Minneapolis Journal drops into double
column measure as follows:
There is joy in Washburn. King
John Satterlund has received a tele-
gram from Senator Washburn an
nouncing that the Bismarck, Wash
burn & Great Falls road will be built
into Washburn by fall. All of the
Roman candles and sky rockets left
over from the last Fourth of July have
been burned, all of the surplus cannon
firecrackers has been let loose on the
prairie. Even the Big Muddy as it
swept around the bend seemed to take
its sweeping with a better will after
II became certain that the railroad was
coming.
The building of the railroad will
mark an epoch in that part of the
Missouri slope which holds Washburn
For, years the old inhabitants have
been hoping. They went to Wash

with faith that some day Washburn
was to have railroad King John

townsite proprietor, editor of a news
paper, political boss, and representa-
tive in the legislature, had assured his
constituents in the empire of Mclean
and adjoining counties that some day
Washburn would be the metropolis
of the surrounding resourceful empire
When the telegram arrived from the
senator eeaator King John saw bis predictions
and promises about to be fulfilled. He
promulgated to a waiting constituency
proclamation that contained more
promises for Washburn, Of it's future
as the metropolis, of the big manufac-
turing enterprises that some day
would be located there and congratu-
lated it's people on the fact that such
man as General Washburn was in
terested in the development of the
country.

news of the coming of the Soo" Bis

liant who was there before Clusters
last march grew tired promising. But
