WAR AGAINST MoRoS.
Position at Mncin Too strong For
Present Attack.

MANILA. Sept 24.-Captain John J.
Pershing of the Fifteenth infantry,
operating against the Moros in the is
land of AIndanao, has found the Moro
position at Macin. island of Mindanao,
to be strong and has delayed his attack
on it. He must throw pontoon bridge
across Il swamp and possibly receive
rc-enforcements before engaging tue
enemy.
The captain made a reconnaissance
close to the Moro position and found a
fort on an elevation close to the lake
shore, fanked by swamps, virtually
making the promontory an island.
The Americans built rafts prepara-
tory to attacking the Moros from the
lake and then decided to bridge the
swamp and make an attack from all
sides.
The sultans of Macin regard the posi-
tion us impregnable and have refused
to treat with Captain Pershing.
Brigadier General Samuel $. Sumner
will send the Moros an ultimatum de-
manding peace and the return of stolen
property. If his demands are rejected,
the place will be assaulted.
Captain Pershing has carefully ex~
amined the position and its surround
ings and is confident of his ability to
capture it without serious losses.

said to have made a confession regard

In the guise Of tramp he had been
wandering about the country for sew
eral days when he was arrested by the
Derby police on suspicion. Although
his description corresponded closely
with that sent out by the New York
officers, the prisoner at first stoutly de-
MED any connection with the murder,
and even when he was confronted with
man who was formerly fellow
workman he still denied his identity.
But later upon the arrival of man
with whom he was intimately ac-
quainted the prisoner acknowledged
that he is William Hooper Young. He

He Planted Half Acre in Onions

M. S. Bond, of Chulasky, Northum-
berland county, last spring planted a
half acre in onions. OF the half acre
under cultivation Mr.. Bond sold Sis
worth of green onions, disposing OF
them in punches at the curbstone
market This reduced the ground
under cultivation from one-half to
three fourths of an acre. From this
fraction of an acre he has gathered
$50 bushels of dried onions, which
find a ready sale today at seventy-five
cents per bushel, but which before
the holidays can be disposed of at
much higher figure, probably at $I.oo
per bushel. Mr.. Bonds experiment
has shown that an acre of ground
will produce over goo bushels of
dried onions, commodity which can
easily be disposed OF, if not in the
local markets at least by shipping.
The price seldom falls below the
figure quoted above and is often
above it. A little figuring it would
seem, would convince any farmer,
who is familiar with the cost of onion
settings and the labor involved, that
there is more money in onions, than
he is apt to realize in the cultivation
of any other kind of truck, not except
ing tomatoes, which are considered a
profitable crop. Corn, wheat or any
OF the farm staples could not be made
to produce forty.fve dollars per acre.

Ten Dollars For a Wife.

That is the valuation that War
rem, ("Jim" to most people, In
gold places upon his wife. The
two were married some years ago,
but the matrimonial alliance was
soon broken and they lived apart.
The woman says that her love for
"Jim" has faded and now she
wants him to set her free that she
may give her heart to another.
Jim is perfectly willing to do this
provided husband number two puts
up the price, namely, $40. Jim
says it will require that amount to
drown his sorrow. Mrs. Ingold
arrived in town from Wilkes Barre
early Tuesday morning. She found
lin shortly afterward and when he
refused to release her, she called
him many hard names and threat
ened him with all kinds of trouble.
lin remained firm however, and
walked away with the parting in
| junction my price is ten.'
A little later the woman was
heard to remark that her life since
she married has been a bitter
draught. She took Jim because
she, at the time, liked him an6
thought they were alike in disposi
ton. One point that they surely
have in common is that neither one
is very fond of work.
Some years ago an attorney
drafted an agreement by which In
gold was to sell his wife for S. 90
but the sale was not affected. Now
he says he must have double tha
amount.

Bonfire Under a Balky Horse.

David Brenniman, a farmer resid-

fence in moving balky horse few
days ago that he Will not care to re-
peat soon again. There was heavy
storm coming up, and David had a
load of wheat on the wagon, which he
was DESTROYS of getting to the barn
before it would rain, when one of his
horses baked and stopped the team.
In the rush some one suggested
building a fire under the animal.
This was Immediately acted upon,
and as soon as things began to warm
the horse began to kick. After kick
ing himself loose from the wagon he
succeeded in kicking some of the fire
into the load of dry wheat, and In a
few minutes the entire load, wagon
and all, was consumed.

Did the Parson Do Right ?

Rather an odd thing happened in
a nearby town the othet day. a
ten year old lad was arrested for
stealing brass from Railroad Com
pany and fined $I2. He could not
pay the fine, and was sent to Jail.
The boy is incorrigible, and his
parents made up their minds that
the time spent in Jail would be a
good lesson to him, and determined
to permit him to serve out his fine.
But the boys Sunday-school teach
er and the pastor of the church he
attends raised the money and secur-
ed the boys release. How about
this? Did the preacher and the
Sunday-school teacher do the right
thing?

Hendler Withdraws Bids.

The Hendler Construction Com
pany on Monday withdrew its bid for
the erection of the new court house
on the river common. When the
Construction Company sent in its bid
to complete the structure at cost OF
$4,000 stone was specified IN
that bid that is admittedly superior 10
the "chicken liver" stone owned by
Architect Osterllng's brother, but tn e
board of commissioners in awarding
the contract insisted that the Ohio
product should be used in preference
to any product of Pennsylvania. - - -.
Before signing the contract, Mr.
Hendler as manager of the comp pany
sent again to the Osterling quarries
for prices for the stone and today re-
ceived the reply. AS he feared the
price is such as to be absolutely pro-
hibitory and to bear out the charges
made by the Leader. He has there
fore withdrawn his bid. Mr.. Wilson
+. Smith is the next lowest bidder
bu, his price is $4,000 higher than
that of Mr.. Hendler and it is con-
sidered very uncertain that the court
would confirm the contract if the
work should be let to him as the dis
crepancy is too great.
In all probability new bids will
have to be advertised for and this
will throw the work so late in the fal!
that but little will be done this year.

besides it occupies their thoughts
to such an extent that studies are
entirely neglected.
