WILL DEP0RT HIM
EGUINALD0 MAY BE SENT TO
SAMOA
TREATMENT TO BE LENiENT
But Captured Insurgent Leader Will
Not Be Allowed Pose as Martyr
Cabinet to Go Slow in Matter of
His Final DispositIon-Lopez
Would Bring Him Here.

Manila, March 30.-Aguinaido is
now detained in comfortable room
in a wing of the Malcanan palace.
Certain visitors are permitted to see
him, but newspaper interviews with
the prisoner are not allowed. Since
Aguinaldo has been domiciled at the
Malacanang palace persons not pro-
vided with special permits have been
denied admission to the grounds.
Washington, March 30-At the cab
met meeting yesterday the view of
the majority was that the time is not
yet ripe to decide what course should
be pursued in the disposition of Agui-
naldo. 1t is felt that some time should
elapse to permit opportunity to DELHI
crate carefully over what course
would prove the wisest and whether
he can be of service to the United
States by remaining at Manila and eX-
erting his influence in the direction of
peace, whether it would be dangerous
to permit him to remain so close to
the field of insurrectionary activity, or
whether it would be best to send him
among other insurgent prisoners to
the island of Guam. There is no dis
position to deal otherwise than
leniently with him, but there
are various questions to be considered,
as for instance whether he personally
instigated assassination of Americans
and similar cffenses which some mem
ers of the cabinet feel should call for
some penalty
1T cannot be too emphatically stated
that the administration will avoid Civ
ing the captured leader any basis for
posing as a martyr. The matter of
transporting him to Guam will receive
serious consideration. One senator
who called at the white house yester-
day suggested to the president the ad-
visibility of transporting Aguinaldo to
some place like Tuituila in the Sa-
moan group, where. he could be kept
at distance from the scene of his oil
operations and would be in a climate
OF which he could make no complaint
The trend of views expressed by the
cabinet indicated that ultimate trans
portation to some place of confne-
ment outside of the Philippines was
the course most likely to be adopted
Lopez Wants Them Here.

Lopez has sent cablegrams to Aguinal-

Madison. March 30.

Madison, March 30.
A meeting of unusual interest and
value was held by the Woman club
yesterday afternoon, education being
the topic. Mrs. Burr w. Jones pre-
sided and the attendance was good. A
message was read from the incOrpOr-
ators of the proposed art association
asking the sanction and aid of the
club in their work. Mrs. NJ. S. Slaugh-
ter read a petition from the Longfel-
low Memorial society of Washington,
D. c., asking that the club contribute
So to the proposed Longfellow monu-
ment at Washington. On motion of
Mrs. Chynoweth, the sum of S. was
voted.
State Superintendent L. D. Harvey
followed with a paper. He discussed
the conditions of country and city
schools and the proposed remedies,
paying special attention to the for
mer, The country schools today, he
SAID are upon the whole, smaller than
twenty years ago. and pupils younger.
Nearly thousand schools in the state
have daily attendance of less than
ten. The teachers in these schools
are the poorest paid, and as & conse-
quence poorest equipped OF any in the
state. The attendance is so small
as tc make good school work, even
with a good teacher impossible. The
movement which has been carried on
this year for the consolidation OF the
small schools, and transportation of
pupils, was quite fully explained. A
considerable number of towns are to
vote upon this question at the cleo,
ton next Tuesday.
He favored the advanced schools
common in Europe, which included
agriculture and domestic science.
A fault with city schools. he said is
that they are too crowded and do no,
admit of individual instruction. Toe
much time is spent on non-essentials
in all the subjects taught The over
crowding of the courses of study is
not due to too much subjects, but IL
too much waste of time in teachins

ON THE RAIL.


In commemoration of the fiftieth an
niVersary of the Incorporation of the
lllinis Central Railrad company
through the act of the state Of Illinois,
approved Feb. 10, 1851, the directors
have decided to give as a souvenir TO
every person in the employ Of the
company during the month of Feb
ruary, 1901, who shall have served
continuously for one year or more, a
bronze medal, bearing the trademark
Of the company and on the reverse
side the name Of the employee and the
number Of full years in which he shall
have served the company. A feature
OF this distribution is the fact that
precisely the same bronze medal is
given to everyone who has been con-
tinuouslF in the employ Of the COM
pany. No distinction whatever is
made between the highest and lowest;
the service of those who labor with
their hands, and those OF the chief ex-
ecutive officers and board of directors
being recognized in precisely the
same way. The medals have already
been circulated on some sections of
the road.

HOW TO CHOOSE BEEF.

of beef presenting faces from the round

white. The next is dark red, the lean
loose grained and sinCwy and the fat
white and shining. The third is dull
red, the lean loose grained and sin
envy ana the fat yellow. The fourth is
bright cherry red, the lean smooth and
medium grained, with tlccks Of white
through it, and the fat creamy, neither
white nor yellow.
The first of these is COW beef. the
second bull beef, the third beef from
an old or i'll conditioned animal, and
the last is OK beef. OK hccf- hat
from Il Stccr-is the juicicst. finest fla

to buy of all beef. 1t is called ''primc'

is from Il heavy young animal about
4 years old stall fed on corn. Beef
from Il young COW that has been well

A HUSTLING SOCIETY.
What Nebraska Improvement Club
liz Doing Eor Its Town.


Every citizen of community has it
in his power to help and encourage its
growth and prosperity if he will but
take the trouble 10 do so. Whatever
conduccs to the bpttcrment of his town
incidentally helps him in the enhanced
value of his property, the greater op-
portunity for investment, the increased
educational facilities and the greater
comfort of living which come to pros
porous and up to date towns.
If every town in the country would
pattern after WauSa. Neb., there would
be Il general revival of business. For
that little city is building itself into Il
great city by the only sure and quick
way of grOWth-CO-OpcratiOn of the
business men in every public enter
prise.
This work of building up the town
and of drawing new business to it is
done by the Wausa Improvement club.
Other towns have improvement clubs
which meet and talk over improve
ments, but this club goes out and gets
them.
The Wausa Improvement club was
organized last spring and has about -
members. Its object is to promote any
and all legitimate enterprises that will
help the town.
Thus, if a stranger gets off the train
and goes to a hotel he is given the glad
hand if he cvinCcS any desire to re-
main in WauSa and enter business. AS
an illustrations: The place has been
without Il dentist until recently. Then
one stopped off for a few hours, told
his profession and was at once taken
in tow by the club and given the hon
Ors of the town. He located there, of
course
Then the men took it into their heads
that they wanted a cigar factory and
pledged themselves not to handle any
cigars except those made by their own
factory. With such a spirit the new
cigar factory is bound TO make money.
The same tactics were used with a
jewelry establishment. and a Michigan
jewclcr two months ago started in
business in WauSa.
As every one knows. a mill is ncces-
sity in live farming town. BY a
strong pull together the Improvement
club landed one worth $4,000. and an
elevator also is being built. The COM
ing of the owner to WauSa also means
a residence. Not sack of any kind of
flour except Wausa flour is sold in the
WauSa stores. The people of that town
believe in patroniZing home industries
Another enterprise which the club
now has on hand is the erection of a
town hall, sc by so, with pressed brick
front, stage. scenery, etc, TO cost &c.
600 When it is completed, regular
weekly entertainments will be given to
draw the people together.
The club also takes Whirl at the
country roads. Every now and then
they get hold of a scrapcr, so out into
the country, enlist the farmers and put
in few days improving the roads
which lead into town.

SCENERY DEFACERS.
billboard Advertising Productive of
Little Good.


1t is foolish to assume that huge bill
boards covered with staring signs or
inartiStic pictures are really of any val
ne as advertisements, says the Wash.
ingtOn Times. They speedily become a
feature of the landscape so familiar as
to pass unnOticcd by the wayfarcr.
Two minutes after seeing one of the
things he would not know whether
Jones Rye Whisky or Potts Painless
Dentistry was advertised thereon. All
he would know would be that he had
seen a big, ugly advertisement of some
thing or other. The chances that he
would ever patroniZe the firm guilty of
this method of advertising are so small
as to be incalculablc by known mathc-
NAUTICAL process. The objection to bill
posting is that it is ugly, wastCful and
useless; that it defaces the landscape
and offcnds peoples sense of the fit
ness of things without giving any adc-
Quatc return to the world for the pain
inflicted.
When one is riding along a lovely
country road, it is not agreeable to see
a yellow board stuck up in a meadow
bearing in large letters the name of
somebody's tooth powder, together with
Autograph three feet high of grin
ming mans face. Such Il sight causes
the bcholdcr to wish ardcntly for the
destruction of the manufacturer, not
the consumption of the tooth powder
1t makes people of an artistic tempera
mcnt wish that the tooth powder fac.
tory might be sunk in the deep sea and
the manufacturer given over to the
sharks, who, having more than one row
of teeth apiece, are fit subjects for his
missionary zeal.
