Twice-a-week plain dealer. (Cresco, Howard County, Iowa) 1895-1913, 1902-07-04

There was q general discussion FRI
day of the treatment that should-be
accorded the political prisoners of the
islands. There is no intention, it is
stated, to release those prisoners con-
victed of other than political offenses,
the benefits of the amnesty being linn
tied to those in custody as result Of
breaches of military law, leaving Grim
inal offenders to the action of the
proper authorities under the coming
civil government. The purpose is to
demonstrate that motives of human
ity and generosity dictate our course
toward the Filipinos. When the is
lands are turned over to the civil au-
thorities they will not be left with
out adequate military protection, as
no more troops will be ordered home
from the present, and every precau-
ton will be taken for the military
safeguarding of the islands under the
new civil administration.

Killed Preacher
Special to the Evening journal.


Allen, Md, April 9.-The dam at
this place. which broke Sunday after
noon, as reported in Mondays Journal,
is being filled up as rapidly as possible.
Every available horse and cart in
town has been engaged for the work,
and a general "dirt hauling is to be
the consequence. The waters Of
Passerdyke creek are not so turbulent.
While the Rev. William Johnson, a
colored Methodist minister, was
preaching a funeral sermon at Flower
Hill on Monday, the Rev. Samuel Tull,
another colOred minister, got so happy
he shouted, kicked the stove over and,
it is alleged, seized Johnson, kicking
him so hard on the leg in his religious
frenzy that he broke several bones and
inflicted other serious injuries. When
quieted down he claimed to remember
nothing he had done.
Here is the latest snake story of the
season, which no one need doubt for
the moment. Alexander King and wife,
two highly respected colored people
of near this town, and their baby are
the principals in this story, yet his
snakeship cuts no little figure in it..

spite of the large quantity of milk it
consumed daily from the bottle. Mat
ters grew worse from day to day. The
child took more milk, but it became
thinner and weaker. King and his
wife could not account for it, That
there was a mystery connected with it
in some way went without saying.
They called in the doctor, but the
medical man seemed as much puzzled
as the parents of the child. He was
willing to admit that for once his skill
was baffled. Last Saturday morning
the mother, after filling the bottle with
new milk, placed her baby in it's
cradle, gave it the bottle, and went out
10 the garden TO work She had not
been there long before she heard her
baby cOOing. as if greatly delighted
with something. She hurried to the
house 10 see what was causing 1t so
much amusement. and was Mortified to
find a huge black snake upon the
child's breast, with the rubber tubing
in its mouth. It's eyes cleaned and
danced. much to the child's merri-

ishment. The mother killed the snake,
