should be suggested to him that chill

was in favor of the children doing
such work if their parents were will
ing.
The board did not hold John Kea-
loha, principal at Waipio, Hawaii,
guilty of teaching his pupils love songs

FEAR UPRISING.

The belief has been growing for
some time that the war department is
very anxious concerning the possible
ity of a general uprising in the Philip
pines.
The number of troops centralized
around Manila has been greatly in
creased. The impression was allowed
to leak out that these troops were in
tended for service in China: that the
troops were sent to the Philippines Ia
control any possible outbreak is the
inference drawn from the present sit
uation.
The unexpected difficulties in the
Moro country and the continued Oh
stacles TO stamping out ladronism ia
the provinces near Manila have com
bined with number of other circum
stances to strengthen the fears of the
war department
Information as TO commercial con
ditions in the islands is discouraging
Several disasters, hurricanes. fires
ETC., have intensified the depression
of trade and news of the probable de
feat of the tariff bill has had bad
effect.

WASHINGTON
REPORTS
STANDARD OIL IS BUSY
WITH LEGISLATION
JUST NOW.
ITS WORK is AGAINST FREE AL
coHoL, THE RATE BILL, AND
AMERICAN SHIPPERS.
MAY FOLLOW THE SUGAR TRUST
METHODS BY BUYING UP
MANY DiSTlLLERiES.
Fighting Free Alcohol.

The Standard Oil Co. is preparing
an active hand in opposition to the
proposition now pending before the
ways and means committee for free
alcohol for the arts and industries.
Several prominent members of the
house spent a couple of days last week
in New York and while there heard on
high authority that the Standard Oil
CO. was behind the attack on the pro-
posed legislation that has been made
by the wood alcohol people and that IL
paid the expenses of wood alcohol ex-
perts, who came to Washington for
purpose of testifying before the ways
and means committee. That the com
pany is preparing to get options on
most of the large distilleries of the
country is apparent. This is the way
the sugar trust protected itself against
Cuban reciprocity several years ago.
1t bought fifty-one per cent. OF the
stock of the American beet sugar fac
tories. This move is in the event
there is legislation TO be in pctition TO
dominate a large part of the situation
by owning enough distilleries to make
the competition of small independents
difficult
Meanwhile the chance that the ways
and means committee will report a
bill and that the bill will pass the
house, is very bright. If the Standard
OIL Co. concludes 10 make a fight, 1t
will begin in the senate.

subdue Panic With Guns.

During the storm which swept the
Atlantic the 1876 steerage passengers
on the French steamer Hudson became
panic-stricken and sought to go on
deck, insisting that if they must die
they wanted TO meet death in the open.
The stewards and minor officers lost
control and appealed to Capt Julian
and First Officer Mehausas, who were
on the bridge. They hurried to the
steerage quarters and attempted to
pacify the terrorized passengers. First
they assured them of no danger,
threatened them and finally drew re-
volvers and knives and threatened to
use them unless the passengers be-
came quiet. Order was restored.
Capt Julian said the storm, while
it lasted, was the most severe he has
experienced in so years at sea.

Hioh in Denver.

Mrs. James Smeathe, of Ovid, who
recently returned from trip to the
west, declares that she saw Former
State Senator Hiram High in Denver
High was on the sightseeing trolley
car with three ladies, and he recog-
nized Mrs. Smeathe at the moment she
recognized him. High muttered some
excuse to his party, and dropped off
the car. High was an Ovid lawyer
who dropped out OF sight about four
years ago, taking the money of good
share of Ovid-for everybody trusted
him-along His wife was faithful,
believing that her husband would
come back or send for her. but he did
not do SO, and last year she secured a
divorce.

Suicide or Murder.

Walter Davis, a young farmer OF
Mortified township, was burned to
death Thursday, and it Is believed that
he either set fire to the house and then
committed suicide or that he was muir
dered by thieves and the house fired
to conceal the evidences of the crime.
The house was burned to the ground
and the mans body is charred so badly
that it is impossible to tell whether or
not he received any wounds before
death. Tramps had been seen in the
neighborhood, and the general impress
sion among the neighbors is that a
party of hobos demanded money OF
Davis, and on his refusal to give them
anything they killed him and then set
fire to the house.
Davis has been somewhat despond-
ent of late and another theory is that
he started the fire and then took his
life.
No one but Davis was at home in
the afternoon, his wife and three small
children being away on a visit to Mrs.
Bert Bailey, whose husband owns the
farm occupied by the Davis family.
Davis drove his wife and children to
the Bailey farm at noon, and said that
he would be back after them about
supper time.
The wife is Frustrated with grief
and believes that her husband was
murdered.

The Midland Shooting.

The sheriff Of Midland county states
that he has been unable to find any
trace of the mysterious midnight PROV
Ter by whom Milton p. Anderson, the
aged president of the defunct Elk
change bank says he was shot Thurs
day night. No suspicious character
was seen in the neighborhood of the
Anderson home that night, so far as
he has been able to learn, save pos
sibly by the wounded banker. In this
connection an important statement
was made by Robert Lane, attorney
for Anderson's bank creditors.
Upon receipt of an order from the
United States court, Mr.. Lane says,
he recently secured possession of GER
tain of Mr.. Anderson's books from
which, he says, he learned OF property
not disclosed by the banker when he
was examined before the referee. The
extent of this property was such that
it would insure a dividend of 100 cents
on the dollar for depositors in the
Exchange bank, although Mr.. Ander-
son had offered but 25 cents in settle
ment.

CAUSING THE GREAT LOSS OF
LIFE AND PROPERTY.
~ WAS ASLEEP" is THE EXCUSE
GIVEN BY ONE OF THEM
FOR HIS NEGLIGENCE.
The Killed and Injured.

While the exact number OF lives
lost in the Adobe wreck on the Denver
and Rio Grande railroad will never be
known it undoubtedly will take rank
among the great disasters in the his
tory of railroading. Conservative esti-
mates on the loss of life place the
number of dead at twenty-five and
twenty-five injured Only seven of the
dead bodies have been positively
identified on account of the mutilation
of victims by fire
Two telegraph operators are now
held as responsible for the disaster.
Both have been discharged from the
service of the road. S. f. Lively, the
operator whose failure to deliver the
train order resulted in the collision.
has not been arrested and il is now
considered probable no action against
him will be taken until after the cor
oner's. inquest.
Lively says regarding his failure TO
deliver the train order:
81 was asleep; that's all"
1t Is asserted that Lively had worked
for several days without rest.
1t developed that Lively, who was
the regular day operator at Swallows,
had, beside performing his own duties
worked on Thursday night for William
VanDeusen, the night operator. Van
Deusen is said to have absented him
self from the station on Thursday
night without getting the approval OF
his superiors.
