Many Cows Afflicted.

Butler valley darymen and farmer.
have Il new misfortune. Throughout
the valley large number of cows have
been stricken with a disease which ren.
ders their milk unfit for use and from
which they cannot recover. One farmer
has lost twelve cows and another has
eight which must be killed. Others
have from one to six afflicted with the
disease.
A heavy curtalment in the output OF
milk has resulted since the appearance
of the disease, and several dairymen OF
the valley are unable to obtain a suifi-
cient supply for their patrons. One
dealer discontinued business on Satur-
day and two others are expected to re-
tire this week
The ordinance passed recently by
council creating milk Inspector is now
in force, and the health officer, who by
virtue of his Office is the inspector, will
likely give the matter his attention. A
considerable quantity of Butler valley
milk comes to town and it should be
examined regularly in order that the
consumers may be protected from i'm
pure milk.

The object is to instruct the mem bers

adopted country. to educate them in
the use of the ballot, to teach them the
aims and objects Of the several political
parties, and fit them in every manner to
take an intelligent part in the various
questions which arise in local, state and
national affairs which are settled at the
ballot-boX.
The more intelligent men of this
nationality in and around Freeland are
members of the club. They have real
lied for some time past that their coun-
trymen, as whole, are not qualified to
exercise the privileges granted them
when they become citizens. To place
them on a level with their fellow en- is
the object of the club, and under the
guidance of sincere and honest leaders
the association has done wonderful
amount Of good.
The club has elected the following
officers for the ensuing year:
President-John Gayda.
Vice president-Nicholas Yalch.
Secretary-John Mezsaros
Treasurer-John Taczak.
Meetings are held the last Sunday of

was sent to town.
Patrick Boyle, of Eckley, who joined
the First Nebraska infantry, fell in the
Philippines with a bullet through his
breast in March, 1899, and was buried
at st. AIMS cemetery.
Sergeant John w. Jones, of Upper
Lehigh, who was killed at San Juan,
Cuba, on July 2, 1898, while storming
the famous hill with his regiment, the
Seventh infantry, was buried where he
fell. Later the remains were disinterred
and taken to Washington. Owing to
the haste in burial Sergeant Jones could
not be Identified and the war depart
ment was compelled TO refuse the Tri-
bune's request to have the body sent
here for burial. 1t now lies in Arlington
cemetery, Washington, the burial place
for the nations heroes.
In all other towns throughout the
state, where the bodies of soldiers who
have died or were killed in the Philip
pines have arrived for interment, the
local military organizations, Grand
Army posts and others have seen that
the deceased were given a military
burial, and Freeland should take ad-
vantage of this occasion to show its
respect for the young man whose life
was sacrificed in behalf OF his country.
There is sufficient time to prepare
tion with the funeral of the young sol
dier, and it is certain that il the Grand
Army Post will take charge of the exer-
cises the townspeople will lend all
necessary assistance to show all the
respect the patriotic dead should receive.

DEAD SOLDIER
COMING HOME {
Body Of Thomas Walsh on
It's Way to FreelanI..
Remains Left San Francisco
on Saturday and Will Ar
rive Here Friday--Should
Have Military Funeral.

The remains of Thomas Walsh, a son
left San Francisco on Saturday evening
at 6 o'clock ana are expected to arrive
at Ereeland on or about Friday evening.
Young Walsh was one of the many
Freeland boys who offered themselves
to the United States government for the
defense of the country when the trouble
with Spain assumed serious proportions.
In May, 1899, he enlisted in the SER
vice at Hazleton and was assigned to
Company II, Of the Nineteenth regular
infantry. In August of that year he
sailed with his regiment for the Philip
pines
During the following fifteen months
he participated in a number of engage
ments against the natives, through all
of which he came out unscathed and
with good prospects of returning home
in good health in May, 1901, when his
two years enlistment would have ex-
pired.
However, in November of last year he
was stricken with typhoid fever, and
after five weeks suffering he succumbed
to the disease in the United States mill
tary hospital at Cebu. The remains
were buried the following day in Cebu
cemetery with full military honors.
Two weeks later the Tribune publish
cd an account of his death, but as the
name given out by the war department
was assigned to Company C, of the
Seventeenth infantry, it was believed
that it was not the Freeland boy who
had died.
his father, received a letter from
Captain Thomas e. Hanson, of Com
pany ii, in which the rumor was verified
and consolation offered for the loss of
the son.
Steps were Immediately taken by the
family to have the body brought to Free
government promised to have done as
soon as possible,
On Saturday Mr.. Walsh received a
telegram from the military authorities
at San Francisco stating that the body
of his son would leave that city for Free
land via the Wells Fargo express at
6 p. m.
The exact time of the arrival of the
corpse here cannot be given, but it is
supposed that it will reach town on
Friday.
The body will be taken to the home of
the grief-stricken family in the Third
ward, where it will be retained day or
two to permit relatives from other towns
to arrive to attend the funeral The
interment will be made at ST. AIMS
cemetery.
Young Walsh was the third of our
young men who died in the government
service since the Spanish war was in

THEATRICAL.

Complications In the plot oil play
may prove interesting to some but the
general public are more easily amused
by direct simplicity to engage their
attention, spced by those nece ssary
condiments, wit" and "ginger." This
latter method has been adopted by Mr..
Hoyt when he wrote his side splitting
comedy, "a Day and Night" The
fact that the public ear is entranced by
sweet and dashng melodies did not es-
cape Mr.. Hoyt's practiced senses, and
the greatest popular composers have
contributed to the play music that
will live in the hearts of the people.
The cast of characters comprises the
abest exponents OF comedy to be found
in the Mecca OF theatredom-New York
city. The men of the company are
talented, handsome and daShing. The
ladies, and they are numerous, have
been selected with view to their pee
uliar fitness for the various parts, aud
their beauty of face and form is but an
endorsement of Messrs. Broadhurst &
Currie's fine discrimination as to the
wants of an American public,
"A Day and II Night is popular, and
deservedly so, because its story is con
nected and uproariously funny. The
play will be presented here tomorrow
evening.
/
The successful playwright is who
properly blends the elements of pathos
and comedy The author of ''Tennes-
secs Pardner" has done his work sue
cessfully and more pleasing dramatic
entertainment has not been seen on the
stage for long time. 1t is play full
of human interest, tender sentiment,
manly spirit and wholesome comedy.
Those who fancy "Tennessee's Pardner"
a sort of wild and wooly, lurd, western
meodrama will find themselves agree
ably deceived by series of stage pic
lures as unique and delightful as those
decribed in Bret Harte's sketches The
attraction is booked for Freeland for IA
special engagement OF one night.
In order to fill its engagement here
lIoyts "A Day and a Night" Company
will make an unusually long jump,
The company plays tonight at Potts
town, Montgomery county; tomorrow
evening at Freeland, and Wednesday
night at Hanover, York county. The
cost of the railroad fare to be expended
in reaching town and retracing their
steps will be over S225. The manage
ment of company who are willing to
rish so much to please local theatre
goers should be accorded the patronage
their show deserves.

MILITARY RULE WILL SOON
BE OVER.
FOR new TARIFF SYSTEM
Commission Makes Recommends
tion Which is Booked for
Publicity Shortly.

Washington, Feb. 21--According to
latest advices from the Philippine
commission the time for the establish
ment of civil government in the
Philippines is near at hand.
1t was stated at the war department
that a civil government will be estab-
lished as soon as Judge Taft reports
that conditions in the islands Justify
such action.
It is generally understood that
Judge Taft will be the first civil gov
ernor Of the islands and that General
Chaffee will succeed General Mac
Arthur i'll commond of the military
forces to be retained there to assist in
the maintenance of order and enforce
ment of the laws. 1t is not likely,
however, that there will be any i'm
mediate change in the military COM
mand, or that there will be any ma
terial reduction in the military
strength for many months to come.
The commission has recommended
adoption of tariff system, and it's re-
port probably will be made public in
few weeks, in order that all interests
affected may be fully informed and
heard on the subject before the pro-
posed tariff is adopted and put into
effect.

covered the fact that independent re-
publicanism, without stable institu-
tions could never be successful "Ex-
pansion must seize all nation, con-
tinued the governor general, (which
produce beyond their own wants. We
have come. not with a menace, but
with the invitation and hope to plant
a republican government of personal
liberty. Under the American flag in
Justice and oppression are impossible. !"
Attorney General Tore declared
that the government founded by
Washington was worthy of the highest
admiration of the Filipinos. Judge
Taft, who was introduced as "the car
rier of peaceful government to the
provinces" !" likened the resistance of
the American colonies to royal and
patrician oppression, unto the resist
ance Of the Filipinos to similar injus-
tice. He spoke eloquently and encor-
agingly regarding the political and
commercial future Of the Philippines.

No Longer Any Doubt About
Russian Annexation of
Manchuria.

it's special correspondent at Niu
Chwang who says: / have just re-
turned from trip through Manchuria
where the feeling of insecurity is gen.
eral. Shops are closed and the annex
alton of Manchuria is considered COM
plete.
The Russian civil government has
seized the maritime taxes and has in
troduced head tax. The free harbor
here is to remain, but commerce is
ruined by an incompetent administra-
tion and undisciplined soldiery.
Plundering Russian soldiers at
tackled the hotel where I was staying,

the next day. They also shot the
watchman at the consulate dead.
Japan is very bitter over the annex
alton of Manchuria. She still hopes
for Germany's and England's assist
ance, but if she does not obtain this,
she intends to proceed Independently

The belief is general that in the
spring there will be new uprisings and
Russo-Japan war is considered likely.

HOW IT WAS DONE
Juror in Case Gives Reasons
for the Conviction of
Hamilton.

Minneapolis, Feb. 21-The Journal
says: One of the Hamilton jurors has
lehthe cat out of the bag. Eight Of
the IL jurors were for acquital for 80
straight hours. From the moment
they retired those men announced
their position.
Juror William H. Gibson, who had
sickness in his family, was sorely dis
tressed and elected the sympathies of
his colleagues. He begged them to
come to decision, so he could get
away. About midnight Tuesday night
the jurors agreed upon manslaughter,
partly owing to Mr.. Gibson's desires.
Other considerations had their in
fluence upon the eight. One was
that disagreement meant another
trial at great expense and moreover,
change of venue to some other county
would be necessary and the probability
was that jury in some other coun-
ty would convict Hamilton of murder
in the first or second degree and he
would either be hung or go to prison
for life. So those for acquittal felt
they were really doing both Hamilton
and the county a service by reaching a
verdict.
