The Fourth OF July
Is a mighty fine day,
And the whole world Is glad
That II happened our way
Ii pleases us greatly
To bang and to boom,
And send every tyrant
And throne up the fiume.
Also we are tickled
To see the Flag fly
And hear our Bald Eagle
Let loose his wild cry.
But, Friends and Fellow Citizens,
Ono Fourth Is enough
A month of such business
Is pretty darn tough
On the patriots who live
In a city where they
Let the fireworks shooters
Begin TO get gay
A full month before

And we've got TO fight fire
And danger and sound.
The Day is all right,
But isn't II wrong
For only one day
To be a month long7

GLOOMY REPORT ON HEALTH
OF TROOPS IN PHILIPPINES.
Large Increase in Percentage of Sick
Cholera Attacks Soldiers as Well
as Thousands of Natives.

Washington. Aug. Sturgeon General
Forwood to-day received a report from
Lieutenant Colonel p. F. Harvey, Chief
Surgeon of the Division of the Philippines,
giving a detailed account of the health Of
the troops in those islands for the mont
ended June Is last.
The report shows a considerable Increase
in percentage Of sick as compared with the
previous month. In south Philippines sick
ness has increased in quarters, station kus-
pital and department hospital. bu:, the re-
port says, the reason for this cannot be
Indicated at this time.
Cholera has attacked two officers AMI
sixty-two Americans and one native soldier.
Most of these cases occurred in IEsuna
and Batangas. The cause in the majority
of instances has been the drinking of in
fected water, and a few cases were due to
food contaminated either by handling or by
flies. In Samar and Leyte some cases are
reported, but the disease has not spread
widely.
In the Camarines the epidemic seems 70
have been stamped out, but in Laguna and
Batangas and the adjacent parts of the
Province of Tayabas cholera has spread in
virulent epidemic form, many cases having
occurred without report.
Outside of Manila a total of 5.e67 cas.s
have been reported, with 1920 deaths. In
the city there have been 1850 cases. with
100 deaths. Colonel Harvey says that the
additional demand upon the medical officers
has been met in the most satisfactory MAN.

The report says that the people in the
small towns are very ignorant. They con-
slider cholera a visitation of Providence and
cannot De induced TO take proper precau-
tionary measures.
During. the month covered by the rep.rt
the total sick was 2265. being several per
cent of the command present, 31,05o, and
during the same period there were seventy
nine deaths. including thirty-seven from
cholera and one killed in action.

Democrats. The followers Of the willy Dyer
have made such good use of the Republics
exposures of the Kerens-Phelps deal that
left in the Republican party here.
For many wears the party in this county
was for kerens; as against Fflley. but the
doughty Colonel failed to live up TO his
reputation for l:berality. and when Dyer
took the field against him., his downfall was
years. and il is hard to find a more popu-
lar man in Pike County than David Patrick
Dyer.
ton to kerens in this county took shape
and form. True. one or two went over TO
Kerens. but the flop was so peculiar and
dering what the consideration was. When
the recent convention was called. many
wondered why it was that the township
conventions were called for May "a to Sc
lect delegates to the county convention,
which was set for one whole week later:
The facts have just come to light, which
county committee wanted the township
conventions held on Saturday and the coun-
ty convention held the following Monday.
The kerens men demurred to this for some
reason then unknown. but il is now claimed
by some delegates that they were APP
preached in the interim and were offered
and vote as the Kerens followers wished.
notwithstanding such methods. the Dyer
men controlled the convention. and are now
IN complete control of the party machin-
cry. So complete was their control that
they decided upon and easily put through
the convention a resolution indorsing Colo
mel Dyer for the United States Senate.
This was the straw that broke the back
of the Kerens camel. The Kerens men
bolted. and have been tearing the party all
to pieces ever since. The division is 50 Sc
rious that in some cases brother is arrayed
against brother. and the policy of rule or
ruin is so apparent among Kerensites as
have been pursuing this policy so strong as
to arouse the fears of Mr.. Kerens, who, it
is reliably stated here, has endeavored to
call them off. but to no avail. Under all the
circumstances it is entirely probable that
the Democratic majority in Pike County
will be at least LEO this fall.

CONDITION
OF FIRE INSURANCE
Agents Saw That st. Louis Is Not
the Only City Where Their
Business Is Depressed.

That the fire insurance companies have
lost money in St. Louis is not disputed.
but 1t is also stated that depressing condi-
lions exist throughout the United STATES.
Local fire insurance men declare that the
cloud which now hangs over their business
should find it's silver lining in a relief from
restrictive laws and obnoxious legislation.
Because of abnormal losses and oppressive
taxes. many companies have been forced to
retire or reinsure.. and those that remain
nave limited their fields of operation. cut
down their lines and extended their prohib-
tied lists. In consequence there is Il dearth
of insurance protection.
The property loss by fire in the United
States in 1901 aggregated sl74. 160. $50. The
insurance losses were S1O6, go. $50. The num-
Der of fires was 1873, and the number OF
risks burned III, 73s.
Last year marked the high tide, and broke
the record of 1899. when s167, "a, 80 represent
ed the values burned. and Sl05 .s94.577 the
insurance losses. The year of 1898 was enc
OF great financial disaster, and of a large
number of CONGREGATIONS. The average loss
in S5,1ss fires that year was $4.76f. and the
average insurance loss S3,012. The year of
1901 was one of the most prosperous in the
AA@-AcA ~ - HfOf
erty loss per fire wasss2 ,1G7, and the average
insurance loss was $l.327.
Fire insurance men say that all over the
country there is a tendency on the part Of
the business interests 10 secure an improve
ment of the insurance situation.
The recent meeting of business men from
all the large cities in the State. held in st.
Louis under the auspices of the Business
Mems League. with the Governor. the In
surance Commissioner. the Mayor and many
other public officials present. to consider
insurance matters is producing results.
The committee appointed is already at
work securing information TO justify the
Governor in the beneficial course he has
agreed to take. The business world. il is
said, has a new conception Of its depea lence
upon fire insurance. and work has already
been begun that will bring great changes
and better conditions in the near future.
That st. Louis ia not the only city suffer
ing from depressed fire insurance condi-
lions is evident from the rate agitations
which are being forced in all the large
cities. The question is asked why rates
should not now be restored to their former
basis. inasmuch as the cities have made ad-
equate appropriations to bring their fire de-
partments M 10 the standard.
Insurance men claim they are justified in
getting all they can out of the little ed
vantage they now enjoy. They have al
ways been squeezed, they say, whenever the
other side had the inclination. and all they
ask now is r fair chance instead of an ad-
vaItage.
