Horse stolen. Barn Burned.

Last Monday morning the barn of
W. T Struble at the lower mill was
burned, presumably set on fire to
cover the theft o. his horse. Thieves
had just before entered the barn of
Floyd Bevans at the Half Way
House and took his horse, wagon
and harness. Arriving in town
they went to Struble's barn where
they evidently exchanged horses
and took his, which is a large bay.
About three O'Clock Mr.. Strable dis
covered that his barn was on fire
and it was with the horse entirely
burned. In the morning MIR. Bev-
ans, learning his loss, came down
and identified the animal by the
shoes. 1t then became apparent
that the thief or thieves had made a
trade and to conceal the crime OF
mislead the scent burned the barn
Enquiry and search have been made
in all directions but so far nothing
definite concerning the road the
thief took or his identity have been
discovered.

their large hearse equipped with
heavy solid rubber tires. They now
have all their vehicles used for fun

tires, being the first ones in this

aside from being an addition to the

On Thursday afternoon Senator
Spooner made, perhaps, the most
brilliant speech in support Of the
Lodge bill which has been heard.
Although it was on Thursday he be-
gan to speak it was not until the
morning of Saturday that he COM
pleted his remarks, the senate not
having been in session on Friday.
He said he was free to state that he
did not favor making promises to a
man who held a revolver to his
breast and he would give no assur-
ance to the men who stood with their
guns aimed at men who wore the
American uniform. Mr.. Spooner
ridiculed the sententious pretensions
Of the democrats. He stated that he
had never been in favor Of the per-
manent retention Of the islands by
the United States and he was not
now, but that no true American
should wish to see the islands turned
loose TO follow for a day their own
devices and then to become again a
prey to the eupidity and rapacity Of
Spain. Late Saturday evening the
general debate on the Lodge bill was
brought to a close and 10 day 1t will
be taken up under a rule which
limits all speeches to fifteen minutes,
under which rule proposed amend
menls win be considered. AT the
close Of Tuesdays session the vote
will be taken.

The wisdom Of Senator Plat Of
Connecticut in delaying action on the
Cuban reciprocity bill is being evi-
denced daily. The fact that the re-
publican conventions of four import
ant states have indorsed the recon-
mendatins Of the president on this
question has served to materially
strengthen the position Of the advo-

On Thursday the senate was cleo
trified by a speech from Senator
Morgan of Alabama, a life-long dem
ocrat, who warmly champion, d the
Lodge Philippine bill. Mr.. Morgan's
democracy cannot be questioned and
his refusal to participate in the viIifi-
cation of the American troops and
his final support of the course Of the
administration and its policy in the
Philippines staggered the democrats
who Immediately retired to the
cloak-roons, as they did when Till
man delivered his recent harangue.
Their indignation knew no bounds.
Senator Morgan stated that the per-
manent separation ofchurch and state
in the Philippines was, in his estma-
tion, sufficient ground for warranting
mis- support of the bill, for it relieved
the Philippine people Of the oppres-
sion Of an established church which
Spain had forced upon them.
