HE WOULD RE-ENLIST
John Curran Wants 10 SO Back to tn e
PHILIPPINES.

John Curran, Of Wilson county. is here
visiting his friend, Paddy Shea, and last
evening he told a reporter for the Eagle
that since coming here he had made up
his mind 10 re-enlist in the regular army.
Mr.. CurraR is d bright young man and
he has come to the conclusion that he
likes the army He said he enlisted In
the regular army. Twenty-third infantry,
at Dallas. Texas. in 1896 He was in the
second regiment that landed in the Phil
ippines after Deweys victory in Manila
bay. He served out his time and then
re-enlisted in the hospital service
Speaking OF the Filipinos, he said that
people here had an imperfect idea Of
them He thinks while some of the tribes
are treacherous and would get up early
Ia the morning to cut an American SOL
dier's throat there is a large part OF the
people who are all right. The people
educated in the Catholic schools he says
are bright, and they write a splendid
hand and speak Spanish. English and the
Filipino language. When given positions
T.. the custom houses they make good and
reliable officials.
When asked whether he thought the
filipinos would ever become loyal to this
country, Mr. Curran said he thought they
would His idea seemed to be that when
the Christian element of the islands were
recognized and they were given local
government in which they had part
that they would be loyal TO the Stars and
Stripes. They are inclined 70 be suspi-
clous, for the simple reason that they 90
not understand what the Americans in
tend to do for them.
He had seen Aguinaldo great many
times. He said he was a small man and
he had never been able to see that ne
was any brighter than the average edu-
Gated Filipino. He did not consider him
as amart as some of The others.

Since the awarding on July i6. of
the hrst special semi-monthiy prize
In the Auditorium stock contest at
Omaha, interest In It has been in
creasing rapidly. The prize. which
was contributed by the employing
printers of Omaha. was s160.50 cash
and was won by Ed. ]. Hamilton of
Wflsonville. Neb. The money form
ing the special semi-monthly prizes is
made up of gold. silver. nickel. copper
and paper money. and then divided
and put into two sacks without be-
ing counted. Mr.. Hamilton's guess
was si33.33, which was the closest
to the amount $132.5i--in the larger
OF the two sacks
August the Commercial prize,
contributed by members OF the Omaha
Commercial club, will we awarded to
the person guessing the closest to the
amount in the larger OF the two sacks
into which II has been divided. Each
special prize is not less than $50. nor
more than $500. and under the plan
adopted there is absolutely no one
who can tell what amount is In the
larger sack until after It is unsealed.
Aside from the special semi-monthly
prizes, however. there is a great
deal OF interest being taken In
the Auditorium stock contest
This could hardly fail to be the
case when there are 1.001 prizes
hung up. headed with the $4,000
cash prize given by the Defiance
Starch Co. of Omaha, and the
stock tickets are only twenty-five
cents. or course only one person will
win the $4,000, and only one person
will win a $1,000 house and lot in
Omaha, but 999 other persons will
also win prizes. every one OF which
will be worth many times the price
OF guess. Persons securing tickets
now also have. free. an extra guess
on the next special semi-monthly
prize.
The regular prizes will be awarded
Immediately after the election next
November, in the order OF their value,
to the 1.O01 persons guessing closest
to the total votes cast for all candi-
dates for governor in New York state
November 4, 1902. The votes for all
candidates at the last five elections
for governor, from which estimates
of the 1902 vote can be made. were:
In 1891. 1.165.0S5; 1894. 1.275.671;
1896. 1.434.046; 1898, 1859. 100. 1900,

is reasonably satisfied with the old. we
would suggest that a trial OF Defiance

Not alone because 1t is guaranteed by
the manufacturers to be superior to
any other brand. but because each 10c
package contains 16 ozs.. while all the
other kinds contain but IL ozs. It Is
safe to say that the lady who once uses
