FRIARS MUST GO

Of the Trouble In the Philippines.

Secretary Root Says They Are the Cause
of the Trouble In the Philippines.
Secretary Root was heard on the
question of the friar lands in the Phil
ippines before the house committee on
insular affairs. lie said these land
holdings constituted one of the chief
causes of discomfort among the people.
They were the hotbeds of insurrcction
and had furnished Aguinaldo his chief
appeal to popular prejudice. The Sec
rotary said the religious orders SO
fully recognized the bad condition of
affairs that they were disposed to sell
out, and he urged that the government
should take advantage of the opportu-
nifty to remove the chief causes of dis
content in the islands. He did not be-
lievc condemnation proceedings would
be necessary, as there were indications
that n fair price could be agreed upon.
A rough estimate of the value Of the
lands, he said, was from five to seven
and one-half millions Of dollars, Amer
lean money.

WOMAN CON WANDER
Has Led q Band or Eight Hundred Fill
ipinos for Slx Years.

ipfnos Tor Six years.
A report has been received at Manila
that n dugout cano, in which eleven OF
company / Of the Second infantry were
travelling, is missing and Is probably
lost. 1t is believed the men either
persisted or were captured.
General Wade has cabled from Cebu
that 365 insurgents surrendered on the
island of Bohol. The authorities here
state that this report is astonishing, il
accurate, as the secret service had
failed to learn of the existence of any
such body of insurgents On Bohol ISL
and. An important capture was made
in Laguna province, when eight men
of the Eighth infantry captured q
woman insurgent named Aquedah
D%ahbadah. She recently commanded
al insurgent force of 800 men, 900 of
whom carried rifles, while the balance
were armed with bolos. For six years
past she has been leading insurgent
bands against the Spaniards and tho
Americans.
General J. Franklin Bell is still act
i've in Batangas, Luzon. A recent en-
gagement in this province, in which
the insurgents were defeated, resulted
in the wounding Of one American Off
Ger and the killing OF n private.
Colonel Theodore J.. Went Of the
Sixth cavalry, who is operating in Ba-
tangas and Luna provinces, reports

ported on the other side of the Inter

After Reading Ills Own Obituary, Writes
Letter Denying Ills Death.
DR.. Sidney J.. Goodmanson has been
sitting in his dental Office at Webster,
S. d., for a month, reading his own
obituaries. The Illinois, Washington
state and Nebraska papers have repeat
.edly stated he had been lynched in the
backwoods of Oklahoma county, Wash
ington, for the murder of his second
wife, and all efforts To locate him were
unavailing until Goodmanson himself
wrote to Attorney Argo of Sioux City
asking If he should not bring suit for
libel against the Washington papers.
Several years ago when DIR. Good
was living at Fender, he was
tried on the charge of numbering his
first wife, who was Miss Laura Roder
of Tiskilwa, ILL.,, whose body was dis
Inferred after burial at Princeton, ILL.,,
and In whose stomach strychnine was
found. Her husband was acquitted,
the jury accepting the claim of the
defense that she committed suicide,
taking the poison rs she was going up
the steps to her husbands office, where
she died.
lie married his second wife In Wash
ington, and the fact that his whcrea-
bouts were not known led to the story
that indignant citizens had lynched
him for killing his second wife, who is
alive and living with him Mt Webster.

Surrounded by Flames.

Camp s Of the Otter Creek Boom and
Lumber company, several miles from
Hambelton, w. Va, in the forest, took
fire and burned so rapidly that seven
OF the forty men asleep in the build
ing failed to get out, and were burned
to death.
The camp was twenty-five by fifty
feet and the upper part all in one room
and in this the forty lei were sleep
ing. Two very small windows and the
narrow stairs afforded the only way of
escape and those who went to the win
dows. a dozen, or more, had to jump
fifteen feet, the others rushing down
the steps like sheep, pushing and
tumbling and falling over each other.
The dead were almost entirely cre-
mated. The men who escaped lost
their clothing and We're compelled to
travel through eight inches of snow
almost naked to another camp q mile
away.

Is said, was the cause of the defalca-
ton. The bank is strong financially
