hole washed out by the water just
west of North Topeka. They are not
the remains OF food victims, as the

is mystery to all who have seen
them. They were evidently buried
there by some one and unearthed by
the water, which washed out a huge
hole in which the bones were found.
The hole Is in the corner Of the or
chard of the old Evans place. This
house has been owned and occupied
by j. B. Evans since 1878.

THE PHILIPPINE SITUATION.
The Natives Taking Kindly to American
Methods--The Greatest Monument to
American Government.

Washington, June 25.--Judge A. f..
johnson, one of the justices Of
the supreme court of the Philippine
islands, yesterday discussed with the
president the situation in the islands.
Judge johnson recently was ele-
waited from the circuit to the supreme
bench. During the two years was
on the circuit BENCH" said he, Il
tried 1900 cases. The Philippine peo-
pie, despite occasional outbreaks, are
taking kindly to American methods
and to American government. 1
think 1t Is a safe assertion that three
fOurths Of the people would not ac-
cept any other form Of government,
even II they had the chance. The
greatest monument to American gov
eminent in the Philippines is the
public school system. When the
United States took possession OF
Philippine affairs in 1898 there was
not a single common school in the
islands outside of Manila. To-day
there is not city or town of any size
In the islands without. common
schools and many pupils. The benefi-
cent results of this system can be
appreciated very readily"
