creep up close to our position. heavy

Beers were driven off. One officer was
killed and three We're wounded, while 20
men were killed and 50 wounded. The loss

mittee With Partially.
Washington, Jan. 11.-Considerabl
progress was made yesterday by the
seiate with the army reorganization
bill, but the final vote on the measure
seems to be as far off as ever. The
proceedings We're characterized by sew
eral sharp colloquies, some of which
We're of u decidedly personal charac-
ter.
An appeal was presented by Teller
(Colo.) from more than 1000 persons
in Manila urging the United States, gov
vernment to cease its operations
against the Filipinos. The appeal is
for independence. Hawley Comm
made vigorous objection to it's publi-
cation. He declared that it was a
reasonable denunciation of the gov
ernment and an attack upon our sol
diers.
Consideration was concluded of the
committee amendments as to the army
reorganization bill and the senate
took up the amendments proposed by
individual senators. The amendments
for the appointments of Generals Will
son. Lee and Shafter to be major gen
erals and retired precipitated an ex
tended, and on the part of PettigreW
bitter debate The amendments
prevailed however, despite the oppo
Sition.

Gone "Wheat Crazy"

Salina, kas. Oct. Many Kan
sas farmers are changing their
acreage from corn to wheat, and in
some sections the change is so
great that the local papers say the
farmers have gone wheat crazy"
Altho Kansas has for the last
two years produced more wheat
than any other State in the Union,
it has Il much larger area in corn
than in wheat. The wheat pro-
ducing region is only compare
lively small section of the State,
while corn is raised everywhere.
Wheat has been remarkably sue
cessful the past two years, and corn
this year was comparative fail
ure. Therefore Kansas farmers in
many localities have made up their
minds to raise less corn and more
wheat.

from $50 to $500. This sum of
money was accompanied only by
the following statement:
After much thought | have

not fully paid as desired, the diff

Negotiating With Brigands.

Washington, Oct. l.--Turkey
and Bulgaria have both been APP
pealed to to aid in the liberation
of Miss Stone, the American mis-
sionary held captive by Bulgarian
brigands. These appeals have
been made thru the agents of the
United States accredited to those
governments.
From the information in the
possession of the State Department
it is evident that considerable diff
ticulty is experienced in raising
Miss Stones ransom. The brig
ands have demanded $4,000 Turk
ish pounds, and the missionary
society, it is reported, is unable
to raise this large sum. The State
Department has no funds at its
disposal; otherwise it would be
willing to draw upon it to effect
her release.
Negotiations are in progress be-
tween the agents of the Boston
Board of Missions, who are in Con-
stantinople, and the brigands,
looking to the sum demanded.

any figure. There is lots of hay

people will find it out, too. One
thing that is scarce now, is pick

commodity are buying it now and

they can get.
