Cigar Dealer Finally Paid for Goods
Delivered Twenty two Years Ago.
Oregon, Ill.,, April 3O.-The fierce
storm that swept this region last
Tuesday settled bet that was made
twenty-five years ago. and Metho,
dist church was mixed up in the
wager.
Over two decades ago Jack Snyder
and G. A. Mix concluded to put UP .
joke on T. "A. Jewett, then, as now, a
cigar dealer in this city. The two went
into Jewetts store and told him that
they had just made q bet of box Of
lO-cent cigars, the latter to be paid for
by the loser when the best was decided.
Jewett turned over box of fine
told that Mix had bet Snyder that
when the Methodist steeple would
blow over it would fall north, but
that Snyder held out that it would GO
toward the east. In all of these years
the trio has been waiting for old
Boreas to decide the wager, Jewett in
particular being concerned to the ex-
tent of the cost of the cigars deliv-
cred twenty-five years ago.
On Tuesday the wind took off about
seven feet of the lofty structure and
piled 1t over on the road to the east,
and Snyder won the bet. The latter

TAFT TALKS TO YALE MEN.
He Tells of the Work of the Army il
the PHILIPPINES.


New Haven, Conn.,, April 3O.-Gov
ernor General Taft, of the Philippine
islands, addressed 1000 students, pro
fessors, and others in College stree
hall at Yale last evening.
Governor Taft reviewed the SAM
ground as that covered by his evidence
before the senate and house commit
tees. With respect to the evidence as
to the water cure and other cruelite;
Governor Taft said that 1T must be
remembered that the army of forty tc
sixty thousand men, by reason of the
guerrilla warfare carried on by the in
surgents, had to be divided into SOC
posts, many of which were commanded
by First and Second Lieutenants oil
Captains, and sometimes by sergeants
and that the detachments in the field
far exceeded the number of posts; that
this explained how it was possible
with many engagements daily, ex-
ceptional instances of such abuses
might occur without IMPLYING the
conduct of the army, which, on the
whole, was humane and consderate to-
ward the natives.
1t was not to be expected, he said
that in an army of 10000 men there
should not be brutes or weak men, who
would yield to the temptation or ar
bitrary power and the provocation
hardly to be understood, of the am
bush and treachery, savagery, anC
danger of the Filipino guerrilla war
fare as it was practiced.
