.SAMAR THICK
WITH BANDITS
Governor Wright Tells of
the Raids Made by Hill
Savages of the Island
PURSUED BY TROOPS
Indications That 1t Will
Take Several Years to Put
a Stop to the Outrages

WASHINGTON. Dec. 23.-Secretary
Taft this afternoon made public mail
report just received from Governor
Wright in regard to the condition of
affairs in Samar and other islands OF
the Philippine group. 1t is In part as
follows:
The great bulk OF the civilized Filipinos rive
on or not remote from the coast line. but there
are scattered communities living in the noun
tatns who are little removed from savagery.
1t frequently happens that some enterprising
man among them will obtain considerable
following and will perpetrate all sorts OF out
RACES upon peaceful and inoffensive inhab-
itants. This cannot be changed at once. 1t
therefore may be inferred that for several
source and that they will make raids upon the
civilized Filipinos living in the lowlands as
heretofore. The commission, so far as its
finances permit, is engaged in building roads
to open up these remote sections OF the In
terior and to make them accessible.
A striking instance of the tendencies Of these
mountaineers is furnished by recent occur
rences in the island of Samar. Two months
ago several hundred of these hillmen. under
styles himself Papa Pope) Bulan and who.
as is usually the case claims to be diYinely
inspired. suddenly descended upon the native
towns along the coast line, plundered and
burned the outlying barrios and began killing
men. women and children Unfortunately.
The constabulary promptly took the field
against them and they were soon broken up
into small bands and are now being pursued
and killed captured
Captured members Of the band state that
tha immediate cause Of the outbreak was that
certain OF their countrymen who were promi-
nent in the insurrection and who have been
employed by mercantile houses agents for
the purchase Of hemp. had oppressed them by
paying them only a nominal price for their
hemp, thereafter turning 1t in to their prin-
cipals at a much larger price.
The Spaniards impressed themselves less,
perhaps upon the people OF Samar than upon
the inhabitants Of the other islands except
Mindanao the home OF the Moros There is
therefore more combustible material there than
in the other islands.

County Merchants of Four
Counties In Eastern Iowa
Have Formed Association
PLAN UNIFORM SUNDAY CLOSING
Hereafter 1t Is Proposed to Sell No

Country Stores-co- operative Buy
ing Is Also To Be a Feature of The
Organization.

Special to Times Republican
Muscatine, Aug. 17.-The county
merchants of four counties, Musca-
tine, Scott, Cedar and Clinton, formed
an organization at Davenport, to adj
just the uniform closing hours on Sun
day thruout the country and to plan
a cooperation In buying from the job
bers. The plan is as follows:
The country merchants, who met in
executive session in Davenport Thurs
day, give it out thru their secre-
tary that they have perfected an or
ganization that will include the coun-
ties of Scott, Cedar. Muscatine and
Clinton. Possibly after the organiza-
ton is tested, its scope may be ex-
tended. The association has been form
ed primarily for the purpose Of Sc
curing uniform Sunday closing
thruout the country towns. Here
tofore, the country merchant, who
spends sixteen hours day in his store
has been compelled to take care Of
certain amount OF trade on Sunday be-
cause his competitor did the same
thing or because In neighborng viii
lage a store was open on Sunday. II is
believed all the members Will keep
their stores closed on Sunday, but II
some violate the rules of the society
and will not listen to reason, the as
ISOLATION may invoke the state law.
But the country merchants desire to
avoid recourse to the law and believe
there will be no difficulty in regard to
Sunday closing the members being
only too glad to get days rest.
Perhaps one of the most important
features of the meeting WAS the de-
termination of the members to ar
range some plan by which they will be
able to get better wholesale prices.
thus making it possible to give their
customers the benefit of reduced prices
equal to the prices that they obtain
in the cities. The plan is to have one
member do the buying, He will be
notified by all the members just how
much -four, for instance, others will
need within certain length OF time.
The buyer will then get quotations for
three or four carloads of the same
kind OF -four from one milling COM
pany and the firm making the best
job lot price will get the business. 1t
may be possible that In time coop
erative wholesale depot will be estab-
lished.

Dubuque, Aug. dubuque is set
Ting down to work after a week of
most strenuous anxiety as to the out

more generally condemned man in this
city than Mayor Berg.
The press of the country from the
Pacific to the Atlantic, has held up this
city to the gaze of criticism and SCOT
fling people, merely because Mayor
Berg notified the navy department that
there are no girls here. According to
the city's executive all the maidens
who might have performed the feat,
were at St. Louis. The launching Of
the boat did not end the talk. Mayor
Berg is enveloped in cloud Of criti-
cism. which he is beginning to realize
is very serious. He regrets his act,
but declares in the same breath that
there is misunderstanding.

Fire at Haniontown Threatened Ware
houses and Lumber Yards.
Special to Times Republican.
Haniontown, Aug 1.-THE coal
sheds of the Nye. Schneider, Fowler
Co. caught fire yesterday from spon-
taneous combustion. The coal shed is
the most westernly building of string
of sheds and elevators and the fact
that the wind was coming from the
west made the situation had one ow-
ing to the fact that the town does not
afford any fire protection at present.
The railroad agent wired to Mason City
and had them send locomotive en-
CINE here and with the water In Its
tender the people formed bucket
line and soon had the fire under con-
troll. No damage was done altho had
the fire not been discovered just at the
time 1t was. it Is doubtful IL any of the
buildings and sheds including the Nye.
Schneider Fowler Co.'S lumber yard
and the two elevators could have been
saved.
Threshing from the shock is well
under way In this section and the crop
is excellent, having both good quality
and good yield. Corn, however Is a
little backward but II we get a couple
or three weeks Of good weather we will
yet hnve good corn. Farmers IN this
section put up some very good hay and
there was a goodly lot OF it this year.
