terday psid Captain Taylor visit and
identified the goods. He said that he was
led to believe that the goods were the
property of his road on account or the
addresses on two of the boxes. Union
Springs and 'Hanun." He furnished a
complete bill Of lading of the goods and
otherwise identified them. They were
promptly turned over to him by Captain
Taylor.
The freight agent said that the goods
were stolen from a box car on the West
ern track, which is located at no great
distance from the house where they were
found. He believes that gang OF men
did the work, as some of the boxes were
too heavy for any one to lift.
The stolen goods consisted of every
thing from chewing tobacco to ladies'
cloaks and seemed to be the entire stock
of some country store. The stock con-
tanned loaded cartridges, baby cloaks,
knives and forks, hunting caps and shoe
backing.
Captain Taylor was informed by a ne
gro that there was something hidden In
the house, and he at once proceeded out
there and took charge Of the stuff. The
agent thanked Captain Taylor heartily
on behalf of the road.

MOROS BENT ON WAR
Ridiculous Stories Told by the Native
Chiefs to Their Followers in
Order to Keep Up Their
Courage.

Washington, Sept 11.-Manila papers
received at the War Department contain
reports from Mindanoo regarding the
Moro problem, showing what the various
sultans and dattos are doing. together
with correspondence that has passed and
conversations that have occurred between
army officers commanding in that island
and the different chiefs.
1t appears that the Moro chiefs were
informed by Filipinos from Luzon that
Russia and Spain were at war with the
United States. One of the Sultans, when
asked why he would not be on friendly
terms with the United States authorities.
said that the Moros were all under the
direction of the Sultan Of stamboul and
they had been informed that there was
enmity between the Sultan of Stamboul
and the United States Government.
Captain Pershing, in command Of the
cavalry, told him that this was entirely
a mistake.
Another datto made the claim that the
Moros always had been in undisturbed
possession Of the Lake Iano country and
that even the Spaniards never had at
tempted to interfere with them and they
did not want the Americans to do so.
There had been considerable friendly
correspondence with the Sultan of Baco-
lod, but finally a very unfriendiy letter
was received from him, war like In tone,
which greatly surprised the American Of
ficers.
From another Moro chief, the Ameri-
cans were informed that the ugly letter
was a forgery, perpetrated by two of the
dattos under the sultan of Bacolod. These
dattos were very anxious for war, one OF
them claiming that he could hold his fort
against any force that might be sent
against ii. The war party was stronger
than the peace party and was haunting
the Moros who wanted to be on peacefui
tearms with the Americans, by calling
them towards. @
In another communication from the
Moro country Is stated that Colonel Bald
win tried to get all the sultans ana dattos
to meet him In a friendly conference.
The sultan of Bacolod professed friend
ship. but asked for three months In which
to communicate with the various tribes
over which he was chief. Moros In the
camp of Colonel Baldwin said 1t was
simply a guise to gain further tipe and
prepare for war. - s.ss

To Finish His Education.

Herscnel D. Adams, who has been
assistant postmaster in this city for
the past two years, has resigned his
position and will go to Iron River In
few days, where he has position
with his father in the Alexander
Edgar mill for the summer. Next
fall be expects to go away to school,
the better to fit him for the struggles
of life. Mr.. Adams is one of the
brightest young men this city has
produced, and he has filled the posi-
ton he has occupied in the post office
IN manner that cannot be in proved.
Any young man who will bend his
energies to do the best he can. IS
bound to develop rapidly and become
a useful factor in the community.
Herschel is a model young man in
character, and he has abilities that
are bound to bring him success in the
world. 1t is a good deal to say, but
the writer feels that in losing the
young man S services that we are
parting with one of the most capable
and worthy young men it has ever
been cur fortune,to employ.

To Erect 81 Settlement.

1t is altogether probable that a
settlement of the Water Company S
taxes will be secured on basis Of
the proposition made by the Com
pany to the towu. The town board
has been looking into the prosal
made by the Company, and it has
been talked over some among citi-
zens, and the consensus Of the opin-
ion seems to be that the proposition
of the Company is entirely reason
able one and ought to be accepted.
The settlement does not affect the
taxes of the year 1899, which is in lit
igation. The Water Company claim
that that year is part of their ten
year franchise, during which period
they were to be exempt from taxa
ton. One gentleman who is inform
ed regarding the matter admitted to
the writer that there was no question
but what the year in question came
under the ten year exemption as
provided in the franchise, but held
that not withstanding this that the
tax could be collected. This is alto
Igethera very narrow way of viewing
the matter. The ten years of ex-
emption was guaranteed to the com
pany, and might be considered rather
in the nature OF a bonus, as the futur e
of the town when the works were
put in could not be foreseen. 1t was
a fair and square agreement, and it
is too small for the town to attempt
to get out of their agreement on a
technical legal point, even though
the officials may feel that they have
the best of the company from law
point. The agreement as provided
by the franchise is plain enought,
and it looks to US that the claim of
the company that the ten years were
not up when the company was asked
to pay taxes for 1899 cannot be very
successfully denied. The town is
simply bound III honor, as is the
water company to carry out their
agreement as it was made, and not
attempt to take advantage of any
technicalities in the law.

Gambling.

Chief Of Police Oliver Wescott
served notice on the saloons where
gambling games were running last
week, that all kinds of gambling
tables must be taken out, and that
gambling would be vigorously dealt
with should there be any attempt to
carry it on. There has been some
talk since election to the effect that
the administration would be lenient
with gambling, but The TIMES is
pleased to note that the boar d does
not propose to let the evil exist.
Now the officials should 90 one step
further and complete the good work.
There are a few professional gamblers
here who run poker rooms, and these
fellows should be given their walking
papers. 1t is said that it impossible
to step poker games, and this in a
measure may be true, but there is
no more reason why few men who
90 nothing else, should be allowed to
run poker games than there is to
stop the use of faro and other tables.
The police and the officials should
look into the matter and find out
how Fred Beausau, Rudolph Hess
and two or three others are making
their living in Washburn, if it is not
by running gambling rooms.

Canker Sore Mouths In Young Pigs


From inquiries received at the
Wisconsin Experiment Station it is
evident that the swine raisers are
losing many of their young pigs by a
disease know mas canker sore mouth.
This appears to be very prevalent in
many sections, aud is quite fatal
where measures are not taken
promptly to apply suitable remedy.
The disease is evidently infectious in
character and attacks young pigs any
time from birth until six weeks old.
The symptoms are as follows:
Large water blisters appear about
the lips and snout, rapidly succeeded
by much heat and swelling of the
the parts, and later thick brown
scabs appear which open into deep
cracks. These scabs extend over
the face, head, and in extreme cases
even to the body and limbs, the joints
of the latter becoming much swollen
and infamed. Ulcers form about
the snout and jaws, eating the flesh
from the bones. The pigs show dull
ness, a Discrimination to move, often
refuse to suckle or do so. in very
half-hearted manner.
TO be effective, the treatme Mt
should be prompt and thorough.
Prepare a solution of permanganate
of potash, which can be had at any
drug store, using one ounce of the
crystals dissolved in one gallon of
water in g common pail. The young
should be dipped head foremost into
the solution and kept there for a
brief time. Repeat this two or three
times, giving the pig time to catch
it's breath in the intermissions. This
treatment given every day for three
or four days, will effect a cure if the
trouble is not of long standing. In
extreme cases where ulcers and
heavy scabs have formed about the
