Feb. 26.-The United States Philip
pine commission has arrived here
from Manila and organized the pro-
vincial government for this province,
which until recently was controlled
by insurgents. The insurgent colonel,
Mosels, is still operating with band
of 800 men in a portion of the pro-
vince. Nevertheless sentiments of
peace and satisfaction with American
sovereignty appear to be as prevalent
here as in the province in which the
government had previously been or

Kenosha, Wis. Feb. 26-Charles
Van Gasbeck, who died late Sunday
afternoon, had strange presentiment
that he was going to die and Sunday
he paid all his debts, bid his friends
goodbye and made arrangements for
his funeral. Van Gasbeck was Il sa-
loonkeeper in this city and was we'll
known all over the southern part of
the state. He was n great friend of
Edward Griffin, who slipped and fell
Saturday night, sustaining injuries
from which he died early Sunday
morning.
Saturday night Van Gasbeck and
Griffin met each other and Van Gas
beck made a remark that he had
dreamed that he would not live any
longer than Griffin did. They laughed
over the remark and both agreed that
they would join each other in death.
The next morning Van Gasbeck was
trld of Griffin's death. He was
stunned for a moment and then he told
friend, standing near. that he would
not survive the day as he had agreed
to join Griffin in death and that it was
fated that he would keep his agree
ment.
He called on an undertaken and ar
ranged for his funeral He then went

told his wife that it would not be
necessary to get supper for him as he
would not be alive to eat it. Mrs.

STRIKES AT THE ROOT
Preacher Who Has Radical Remedy 10
Sociological Evils.


Chicago, Feb. 26.-Rey. II. A. White.
of the Stewart Avenue Universalist
church, pleaded in his Sunday sermon
for legal restrictions of marriage so
that criminals and other unfit persons
shall nor be mated. He said: "Some
children are born TO disadvanta Ses-
born in poverty. born in the slums.
born with disease, with perverted ap-
petiteS. Some are started in life on a
bias Heredity conseryes the moral and
intellectual accumulations of the race
God could not make such a beneficent
law which will not also conserve the
evil. Some parent breaking the laws
of health transmits the result to the
children
Society should see 70 it that GRIM
inals are not permitted. so far as So
ciety can prevent it, to marry and pro-
duce children. Society should take
some steps either by legal enactment
or by moral suasion and education to
prevent or discourage diseased persons
from perpetuating disease in unborn
generations. Yet the reckless disre-
gard of the well-known laws of hered-
ity goes on. No Sentimentality should
interfere with rational measures tend
ing to reduce the perpetuation of crime
and physical disease. The rights of
the present generation are as nothing
compared with the rights of the un-
born generations.
Thousands are born every day in
tenements reeking with disease breed
ing germs, bred in stifiing alleys,
scarcely a glimpse of the sky, never
n rod of green earth to dig ia and run
on. They grow up siokly,, they be-
come criminal, we fill our hospitals
with them. and our iails and prate
about the depravity of human nature
Talk rather of the criminal Indifference
of society which permits social and
economical conditions to prevail which
inevitably breeds the very social evils
we deplore and look piOus over.
THE majority of lives born into the
world with tendencies TO physical or
moral disease are not victims of the
devil or of divine providence, but So
cial-Shall we say criminal?-carelesS-
ness of society toward the question of
proper marriages. A time was when
ignorance of the laws of heredity ex-
cused society from acting. Modern
knowledge has removed every vestige
OF excuse"

QUESTION OF APPoRTIoNMENT
Is To BE Definitely settled for Illinois
During the Present Week.


Springfield, Ills, Feb. 26.-It is the
depreciation that the appOrtionment
question. both senatorial and congress
sional, will be definitely settled during
the present week. The Republicans of
both houses will hold a joint caucus in
the house of Representatives this even
ing. The congressional bill that has
already been prepared will be submit
ted. There is little possibility that any
changes will be made in this measure
or that there will be much delay in
reaching an agreement upon 1t in the
caucus.
With the senatorial apportionment,
however, the situation is different. The
house subcommittee has agreed upon
bill and this is now before the full
committee, which will take it up for
consideration this afternoon. The SEN
probably will pass a different meas
IRE and the question will be thrown
into a joint conference committee.
The differences between the two houses
on this question are such as to make
this course apparently the only way
out of the difficulty.

NOT as BAD as PAINTED.
Opinion of the Saloon Expressed by q
Preacher at Oshkosh.


Oshkosh, Wis, Feb. 26.-"Civic
Duty was discussed Sunday under
unique conditions at the First Presby-
terian church. The pastor. Rev. Ed
ward II. Smith, who was chaplain of
the Second Wisconsin during the Span
ish-American war and whose defense
of the army canteen on the ground
that good beer was better than poor
water" has become historic, evolved
the idea of preaching Ito the city otti-
cials instead of at them"
Accordingly the pastor sent TO each
of the officials of the city, the mayor,
chief of police and all the others, a
written personal invitation to attend
liis service Friday morning. Mayor
Mulva was present and practically the
members of the common council, as
well as the administrative officers. The
church was crowded. Smith took a
middle course. He maintained that
while the saloon is an evil. it is not an
unmitigated evil. Divested of certain
features it would be desirable thing
for Il community.

MILWAUKEE so YEARS DID,
Road Passes Half Century of Existence
Yesterday.

Yesterday.
Everything was running along in
it's regular, everyday way at the
Milwaukee & st. Paul railway Office
in this city yesterday, and no one un-
acquainted with the facts would have
surmised that it was the 50th ami
versary of the company's existence.
The first stretch of the road was
opened on Feb. 25, 1851, between
Milwaukee and Waukesha, and was
christened the Milwaukee & Missis-
sippi railroad. Only 20 miles of rails
had been laid, but it was made the
occasion of great rejoicing by the
people of Wisconsin. This line was
the pioneer in Wisconsin, but it
formed the nucleus of that which is
now the great Chicago, Milwaukee &
st. Paul railway system, with its
6, 400 miles of road.
In 1859, the promoters being unable
to meet interest obligations, the road
was sold, and became the Milwaukee
& Prairie du Chen company. 1t
remained SO until 1866, when, with
other lines that sprung up, it was
absorbed by the Milwaukee & st. Paul
railroad. It was in 1873 when the
road entered Chicago. and became the
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul rail-
road, and in 1881 it had 4,217 miles
of complete trackage. 1t has steadily
increased until the system now
traverses large section of Illinois,
nearly all of Wisconsin, part of north
ern Michigan, portions of Iowa and
southern Minnesota, and South Da-
kota. with total mileage of nearly
