Japan is considered significant. That

agree today and 13, 800 miners are on
a strike. Every mine in Iowa is

Lecture on the Philippines

On Thursday evening at the Metho-

tor of the Methodist church at Pali-
sades, delivered his lecture on the
Philippine Islands. Rev. Millikin
was one of the Kansas volunteers who
offered their services to the U. S.
in 1898, in the Spanish American war
and was sent to the Philippines. The
lect1re was intensely interesting, in
struotive and educational. with a vein
of humor that held the audience in
rapt attention. His descriptive pow
.ers are excellent and his bits of word
painting interspersed here and there
were very fine indeed, and will no
doubt bring the young lecturer into
greater prominence as speaker and
~orGter, in the near future, He is ir'
tensely patriotic and declares that not
one single overt or criminal act was
committed by the American soldiers
during his entire service, although
they were compelled to suffer no end
of insults and indignities at the hands
.of the ignorant Filipinos.
Mr., Miilikin spoke without notes
;and illustrated his lecture with arti-
'cles which he brought home with
him, describing the life and customs
of the natives.
At the close of the lecture Miss
