the city in quest of the unusual o,

the city in quest of the unusual or
the new. A nobler, more enduring
monument is it. While it stands as an
evidence of brotherly love and a tri-
butte to the memory of him whom is
gone, it also makes for the advance
ment Of education, the Strengthening
Of intellectually and uplifting of pub
lie morality. No grander or more in
spring monument was ever erected
to the memory of any nan than a pub
lie library and no man, no matter
how exalted his position in life or
how memorable his achievements,
could wish to have his name perpe-
tuated in a more enduring or loftier
way than to have it linked with an
institution of that kind.
To the donor to whose philanthropy
and love of the good and elevating
the community is indebted for the
magnificent gift which bears the cher
ished name Of his dead brother the
city returns it's sincere and lasting
thanks. It accepts the gift with CRATE
full pride that to it should fall the
honor of being the custodian of the
splendid tribute of love and affection
he has reared to the one who has pre-
coded him to the mystic shores, and
will guard and keep it to the end.
When the present generation, too,
shall have passed away and those
who were among yesterdays happy,
grateful throngs will be sleeping the
sleep which must come to all, other
generations will care for and perpe-
tuate the splendid charge entrusted
to those who are now the recipients
of it's bounteous stores of learning:
and while drinking from the fountains
of knowledge and thought which it
contains with reverential gratitude
will recall the two names which must
ever cluster about it, the name Of
Frederick Billings, Jr., whose NUM-
ficence and generosity made possible
the possession of the magnificent mon
ument, and that Of Parmly Billings
to whose memory it was lovingly and
fondly dedicated.

BOYS E BROKEN.
Impromptu Horse Race Ends Serious
Iy for One Rider.

Jack Haggerty and another youth
were having an impromptu horse
race yesterday forenoon in West Min
nesota avenue, but before it could be
decided who had won an accident put
a stop to the proceedings.
When approaching the corner of
Twenty-ninth street the horse ridden
by Haggerty swerved as though to
turn up that street and it's rider jerk
ed it around so as TO head it in the
original direction. THE sprinkler had
been over the ground only a short
time before, causing the street to be
slippery and the animal fell, throw
ing it's rider off and rolling over onto
him. When De ATTEMPTED to arise he
was unable fto/do SO and declared
that his left Ieg was broken.
The accident occurred within a few
feet of the office of DR.. Baxter, who
took charge of the case and found
that the boy had sustained a simple
fracture of the leg, about four inches
above the ankle. After he had been
attended to the boy was sent to his
home near the electric light station.
where his father is employed.

RELEASE OF AGUINALDO.

Muscular: There is a current ru-
NOR to the effect that arrangements
are being made for the release of
Aguinaldo. At present he is held as a
prisoner of war on board one of the
cruisers attached to the Asiatic squad
ron. 1t is said that to give Aguinaldo
his freedom would inure to an earlier
pacification of the insurgent Tagalas
on the Island of Luzon.
1t is difficult to see how this "a be
sound reasoning. Coming on the heels
of the recent heavy reverse CT United
States troops, the almost complete an
utilization of Company G, OF the Ninth
infantry, the proposal to release the
arch insurgent of all the Filipinos.
sounds pre%posterous. What is eX-
pected to be accomplished by such a
course? Even should Aguinaldc re-
spect his parole, which is doubtful, he
would be in easy communication with
other generals of the Filipino army,
and in a most favorable position to
suggest mischievous means Of still
further prolonging the war.
1t is not to be expected that Aguin-
aldo would go forth among his people
as a white-robed messenger of peace.
Such a course is by no means charac-
t%eristic of the man. It is true he ten
dered the sympathy Of a state prisoner
at the time Of the assassination of
President Mckinley, but his horror of
that deed was more at the awful man
ner Of the presidents taking off than
it was with sympathy for a people
whom, doubtless he still looks upon
as oppressors of his race.
Under all the circumstances it would
appear most ill-advised to liberate
Aguinaldo at this time. Nothing but
complete s%ubjugation of the insurgent
tribes on the Philippine islands can
extend the policy of the late Presi-
dent Mckinley. How such a result is
to be attained by releasing the ablest
and most ambitious general in the
Filipino army is, to say the least, pro
blematical. Among certain United
States military officers the PROPOSE,
ton has found favor. But it is eS,
tremely doubtful if it will eventuate
as the policy of President Roosevelt's
administration.

may take the initiative in mediation
before the international tribunal, but
England has so far steadily refused
to consider any mediatorial PROPOSE
ton.
The other available measure is the
forcible Intervention in South Africa
by one or more of the European pow
ers. The Beers have INDUCED hopes
of such action, but any student Of
European conditions knows that not
one of the great powers will undertake
forcible intervention, for prudential
reasons Our own government will
not intervene, for very excellent rea-
sons. England will have to stew in
her own juice and take the conse-
quences of a costly war, thrust upon
her by her secretary of the colonies,
one which compels her to hold in
South Africa the bulk of her most
efficient fighting strength, chasing an
elusive enemy day after day, a process
which has cost her, so far, about a
billion dollars and is likely to cost
her much more before she has finish
ed the job Of pacifying South Africa.
The handicap of England through
this war has enabled her old rival in
Asia to obtain immense advantages
over her in that quarter, while Ger
many has superseded her in domin-
ant influence at .Constantinople to
Germany's advantage.
