TIT FILIPINO FED[RALS.
They Assert Their Continued Fealty to the Roman Catholic
 Church.
THE MoOTED QUESTION OF THE FRIARS.
The Legislative and Executive Au- thorities are Determined to Psr- init the Utmost Freedom of Wor- ship, But the Point to Draw the Line as Yet Undecided.

Manila. Jan. 5l.-AN the Filipino leaders of the federal party assert their continued fealty to the Catholic church. excepting Buencamino, Rosa rio and Ner. The church authorities, while intimating unofficially that there is no intention of returning the friars to the localities where the peo pie object to them, have not assured the representatives of the govern ment to this effect.
 Utmost Freedom of Worship.
 But the legislative and executive authorities are determined to permit the utmost freedom of worship; but Judge Taft. president of the United States Philippine commission, said, that it was an undetermined question whether the government ought to draw the line m localities where the presence of the friars may tend to cause unrest and disturbance. The at tempt of Buencamino and his con ferees about Tondo to organize an evangelical church was precipitated by arrests. made on the information of priests. of certain alleged support CTS of the insurrection. The ques- tion of the release of some of them is pending.
 \ Matter of Speculation.
 There is much speculation as to the extent to which Buencamino will be able to control religious sentiment in his ward, in which reside the poorest class of natives Little interest in the matter is apparent in the Binondo and neighboring wards.
 Dr. Bourns, the only American on the federal party directorate, says the evangelical movement was origi- mated by political leaders at Tondo and was disapprosed by the party di- rectors.
 Deprecate Religious Agitations.
 The American soldiers and civilians deprecate the attempts to mix re- ligious agitations with the police re- forms. which the federal party had fathered and extended. While the re- hgious belief of the Filipinos is ap- parently sincere. it is impossible to predict to what extent il may be swayen Dy their leaders, aided Dy Protestant missionaries. Nothing has yet been accomplished in the line oi wholesale conversions to Protestant- ism in Manila. Buencamino is erect ing the framework of an evangelical organization, and hopes shortly to gather big membership.

MORE JOINT NRECk|NG.
Twelve Women Start a Joint-Smash- ing Crusade at Anthony,
 Kansas.
FOUR THIRST PARLORS DEMOLISHED.
The Crusaders Were Led by Mrs. Sheriff, of DnnviIle, Who Is said to Have Given Mrs. Nation Her wrecking Pointer>-Great Excite ment in Anthony.

Kansas City, Mo, Jan. 31.-A special to the Star from Anthony. Kas.. says:
 Early this morning, before most citizens had reached their places of business, 12 women of the Anthony W. C. T. U., armed with hammer, hatchets and pick axes, raided and completely demolished four joints" in Anthony. Husbands of the women went along, armed. to protect. their wives. Among the brigade were two or three school girls under age, who did some of the most effective smash ing. X greater part of the havoc was finished before the police or mayor were aware of what was going on. The actual damage done to personal property, aside from the liquor de- stroyed. is placed by the saloon-keep- CTS at S2.000. This. however, is be- lieyed to be too conservative.
 Greatest Excitement Prevails.
 As a result of the attack the great est excitement prevails. For time the whole town was in an uproar. and il was feared that personal vio- lence would result
 The first place attacked was situat- ed in the rear of drug store. which was forcibly entered from the rear. It contained some costly bar fixtures and, among other things, valuable cash register Within a few minutes the women had smashed everything in sight. The cash register was demol- ished, but in their hurry to finish this job and go to other places they over looked the bulk of the liquor stored away.
 The Second Point of Attack.
 second scene of joint-smashing was enacted. They found this saloon locked, but axes were applied and the whole glass front was smashed in.
 Here their work was more com plete. The building, a great plate glass mirror and everything in sight was reduced to the maximum of the Mrs. Nation idea. Here also a fight occurred. the proprietor was smashed over the head with a beer bottle. his scalp laid open, and his blood mixed with the flow of liquors that ran in small streams over the floor. The joint keeper was struck by the hus- band of one of the women. In quick succession two other places, a short distance down the street. were sub jected to similar treatment, the fix lures smashed and all the liquor | turned into the gutter.
 The Leader of the Raid. The raid was led by a Mrs. Sheriff, | of Danville. a small town near by. She came to Anthony Tuesday
 night. organized the local temperance
 women and planned the crusade. Mrs. | Sheriff had previously destroyed a 1 joint in Danville, and she is credited with having given Mrs. Nation the | first idea for wrecking crusade. Mrs Sheriff is stranger to the people of
 Anthony, and for time many in the
 crowd that followed the crusars from | place to place believed that she was | Mrs Nation.
 The saloonkeepers of Anthony each have wareroom aside from their ! saloon where a reserve stock of li- | quor is kept. The women did not | know this, and a considerable amount
 of the prohibited liquids is yet unmo- | tested.

REV. STEWART'S SERMON.

SIX MONTHS BENEATH HELL.
 Last Sunday afternoon as per announcement made, the Rev. S. D. Stewart Daniel Webster ized" a small crowd at Martin Junction on the subject of The Lion Roared, or SIX Months Be heath Hell.
 A hand-car excursion went down from McCrory to take it in. Several other pastors were to have been there to help the brother preach but they failed to put in their appearance which pleased Rev. Stewart very much. The subject was taken from the bible and as stated by Brother Stewart if the subject were tho roughly handled the entire bible would have to be covered. Con- sequently only one phase of the subject was taken up, and which phase he spoke on we are unable to say. Just prior to beginning his sermon Rev. Stewart dis carded his sky-scraping head gear which makes him appear like the "Bally-Hoo artist with the Fog Horn" in ten cent mu- scum. After making a few un- complimentary thrusts at the colored Baptist brethren who have been mistreating him he waded into the subject and re- ferred the audience to the va rious passages in the bible that treated on his subject and then the fireworks were turned loose. At the conclusion of his sermon he offered to prove everything he said by the bible but did not de sire the people to come to him personally. He desired them to call at the News office and lay their questions before it and in the following issue he would an swer them using the News as a mediator between himself and the would be seeker. Other sub jects as great as the one used were to have been discussed but due to the smallness of the crowd were postponed indefinitely.
 On the homeward journey a wreck occurred on the excursion train in which our little brother hit terra firma rather abruptly, blowing up the earth in a rather unceremonious manner where he hit. No serious damage was done.

NICE FOR DANGERS.

The photographic knapsack is the invention of an Iowa genius. His idea is to place an ordinary phonograph that has been fixed to play waltz music in knap- sack that can be carried on a mans back. The phonograph has two sets of receivers to be placed at the ear. These receiv- CTS are fitted into an arrange ment so that they can be retain ed at the ears without being held by the hands. V
 The photographic knapsack has been designed for use at dances. The young men carry them on their backs. In begin ming waltz a man places one set of the receivers at his own ears and the other at the ears of his fair partner. By pulling cord dangling from his photographic knapsack the machine is set in motion and a waltz is played to which the young man and his partner merrily dance. The in vention will do away with orches- tras and tin sounding pianos, each male guest furnishing his own music for himself and part her.
 The invention will be hailed with delight by dancers. Now, instead of sixty or seventy cou- ples dancing to a waltz which only four or five people in the whole ballroom especially like, each pair of dancers can consult their individual preferences in the matter. Some dancers will be stepping gayly to the merry notes of "The Duchess of the Park, while others will trip to the music of Rufus on Parade, " and dignified elderly couples will revolve stiffly by to the ancient air of "The Beautiful Blue Dan ube.

In a recent issue of the News we drew attention of the citizens of Barnes, Dent and Pumpkin Bend townships to the vacancies existing in their magistrates of fees. As before stated Barnes and Dent townships have no maj istrates whatever while Pumpkin Bend township has only one. These vacancies should be filled by all means and the sooner the better. Men should be appoint ed for these offices who will vote the sentiment of the people at the coming session of the county court when an appropriation Is to be made for the election of a new courthouse. Only a few months are now intervening un- til the time for action will have been passed and if the people want their interest looked after it behoves them to see that these offices are filled by men who will vote their sentiments. If this is not done Augusta will run things to suit herself. Now is the time to act. If this important work is left undone you will have no chance to kick.
