RISE EXPECTED
There Was Much Happiness on
Monkey Wrench Corner.
Plenty of Water By the ED Is Now
Predicted.

River men were standing around
Monkey Wrench corner this morning
with broad smiles on their faces and
in the most jubilsnt frames of mind
imaginable.
1t was raining and raining hard too,
and the harder it rained the broader
became the smile of the river man, for
it meant q break in the dry spell and
work began looming mp in the near
future. There was much speculation
as how much TERRITORY the rain covered
and what section of the country was
visited, but this cut no figure for il
was raining and that was sufficient.
~ am expecting plenty of water BY
the 22d of this month";" one river man
stated. "but there might come a rise
before that time and it may even come
later. We all think this rain will be
general and that the water will come
flooding down ON us in torrents and IL
can't come too soon, is all we have to
say"

20 refuse to take advantage Of such OPP
portunity and to force Cuba into max.
ing arrangements with other countries
TO our disadvantage.
"This reciprocity treaty stands by
itself. IL is demanded on considera-
tion of broad national policy as we'll
as by our economic interest. 1t will
do harm to no industry. II will bene-
fit many industries. 1t is in the inter
est Of our people as whole, both be-
cause of its Importance from the broad
standpoint of international policy and
because economically it intim ately
concerns us to develop and secure the
rich Cuban market for our farmers,
artisans, merchants and manufactur-
ers.
Finally. it is desirable as guar.
snty of the good faith OF our nation
toward her younger sister republic 60
the south, whose welfare must ever
be closely bound with ours. We gave
her liberty, We are knit to her by
memories Of the blood and the courage
of our soldiers who fought for her in
war; by the memories of the wisdom
and integrity of our administrators
who have saved her in peace and who
started her so we'll on the difficult patti
of self government. We must help her
onward and upward. and in helping
her we shall help ourselves.
1.-THE foregoing considerations caused
the negotiations of the treaty with
Cuba and its ratification by the SEN
ate. They now with equal force sup
port the legislation by the congress
which by the terms OF the treaty Is
necessary to render il operative. A
failure to enact such legislation would
come perilously near q Reputation of

While Irwin Springer Got Away
From Him.
The Police Find the Owner Of the
Stolen Cows Few Hours
too Late.
SUSPECTS HAD BEEN RELEASED

Tle police of Paducah were very
much disguised last evening to learn
that Irwin Springer and Elmer Har.
ley, who were arrested several days
ago with two COWS in their possession
that were believed to be stolen, had
been released too soon. They held
the suspects several days without being
able to find the owner Of the cows,
and after releasing them yesterday q
farmer came in from the Lone Oak
section of the county and identified the
COWS as two stolen from him. The
animals had been left at the Terrell
stable, and will be turned over to the
owner. Meanwhile the police are very
anxious to locate the two young men,
against whom other charges may de-
velop later on.
Last night after the police had been
notified that . case had been made
against the suspects, they set out to
find them, and even went to the
country to find Harley, but could not
locate him.
Springer, however, was located last
night about O'Clock on Huntington
Row, at house No. 6, by Night Watch
man Bailey, of the l. u. shops, and
placed under arrest. Springer was
bare headed when arrested and asked
the officer to let him go to his sister q
house nearby to secure his hat. The
officer went with him and while stand
ing in the room waiting for his mar
to secure the hat he claims he wal
seized by several women, and Springer
was allowed to escape. Wstchmar
Bailey struggled hard to eosaps and
pursue but the women held ON long
enough to allow Springer to make
good his escape.

Urges Action in Cuban Commercial
Ire, utter and Gives
His Reasons.
ENCOURAGES NEW REPUBLIC

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE follow
ing message was yesterday sent by the
president to the extraordinary session
Of congress:
ITO the Sensts and House Of Rep
resentatives-I have convened the con-
gress that II may consider the legisla
ton necessary to put into operation
the commercial treaty with Cubs,
which was ratified by the senate ut it's
las. session end subsequently by the
Cuban government. | deem such leg
islation demanded not only by our in.
terest. but by our honor We cannot
with propriety abandon the course
upon which we have 50 wisely en-
barred. When the acceptance Of the
Plat amendment was required from
Cuba by the action OF congress Of the
United States, this government there
by definitely committed itself to the
policy Of treating Cuba as occupying
a unique position rs regards this coun-
try.
60 IL was provided that when the is
land became free and independent TO
public she should stand in such close
relations with us as in certain respects
TO come within our system Of interna.
tional policy; ana IL necessarily fol-
lowed that she must also to u certain
degree become included within the
lines of our economic policy.
Situated as Cuba is 1t would not
be possible for this country TO permit
the strategic abuse Of the plan by any
foreign military power. IL is for this
reason that certain limitations have
been imposed upon her financial policy
and that naval stations have been con-
ceded by her to the United States.
THE negotiations ss TO the details
Of these naval stations are on the eve
Of completion. They ara so situated
as TO prevent any idea that there Is the
intention ever to use them against Gu.
ba, or otherwise than for the protec.
ton Of Cupa from the assaults OF for
eign foes and for the better safeguard.
ing Of American interests in the wa
ters south Of ne
"These interests have been largely
increased by the consequences OF the
war with Spain and will be still fur.
Their increased by the building of the
isthmian canal They are both mill
tAry and economic.
1.-THE granting to us by Cuba of the
naval stations above alluded to is of
the utmost importance from military
standpoint and il proof of the good
faith with which Cuba is treating us.
CUBA has made great progress since
her independence was established. She
has advanced steadily in every way
She already stands high among her sis
ter republics of the new world. She is
Loyalty observing her obligations to
Us. and she 10 entitled to like treat
ment by rs.
1.-THE treaty submitted to you for
approval secures to the United States
economic advantages rs great as those
given to Cuba. Not an American in
terest is sacrificed. By the treaty a
large Cuban market is secured to our
producers. 1t is a market which lies
which is capable of great expansion
and which 1t is especially important
to the development of our export trade

came so rank that his partner could not

saw no field service in the wars. The
records show that one T. Wood served a
few days on steamboat going to the
Cascades after Phil Sheridan had driven
off the hostiles there. Rev. Mr.. Wood
has been openly charged with falsifying
the records of the Indian war veterans
so as to make it appear that he had been
captured by 300 hostiles at the John
Day ferry, when all veterans knew there
was no ferry there at that time, That
Wood did not do any field service was

ATHENA, SEPTEMBER II, 1908

Professor Atkinson, who was the first
commissioner OF education in the Philip
pines and who recently returned to the
United States, says that English was in
troduced in the schools of The archipela-
go because tho Fiipinos demanded it.
Frederick Nash, writing from Manila,
says that whereas two years ago there
were only about 200 native teachers ca
pable OF giving instruction in tho Eng
lish language there are 1000 at the pros
ent time. This growth, in connection
with the desire OF the people to learn
English, speaks well for the educational
work done in the Philippines and gives
promise that ultimately large percent
age of the population will be able to use
the English language in the ordinary
affairs Of life. 1t may be impracticable
to supplant Spanish and the native Ian
gusges, but increased use Of English
will enable large number Of the natives
to acquire good idea OF American in
stitutions and also of the laws and liter
ature of the country. The more Amer
ican ideas are introduced the better will
it be for the future relations between
the Philippines and the United States.
With knowledge Of a language goes a
more or less clear appreciation Of the
spirit Of the people who habitually use
it. Hence it is wise policy to continue
instruction in English jp the Philippine
public schools, more especially since the
natives desire that this be done.

Hillsboro and vicinity have a sensa-
ton. A preacher by the name of r. H..
Kennedy, formerly from Corvallis but
more recently pastor of the Congrega-
tional church at Hillsboro, which posi-
tion he resigned to go into the timber
cruising business, is under arrest,
charged with the crime of burglary. He
is accused Of entering the home OF e. H.
Warren, holding two ladies up at the
POINT Of a pistol, trying to chloroform
them, bind them to their beds and fin
ally robbing them Of ~ in cash and q
$3.50 gold watch. Such a charge is q
serious one to lodge against any one,
much more a preacher and a follower of
the meek and lowly Jesus. But the vic
Tins seem to have the gentleman Of the
cloth down to rights, one OF them having
recognized his voice and otherwise iden-
tilted him, so that he is almost unques-
tionably connected with the crime. 1t
is indeed quite fall to drop from the
pulpit to a common burglar clad in
mask and armed with sixshooter, but
from all indications this reverend gen.
tleman has made the fall. However,
his degeneracy is no discredit to the
church or to the profession he repre-
sents, for he is only an individual, and
others of the same profession cannot be
judged by his shortcomings.
