dressed white voile trimmed with
white ribbon and lace. The groom

CHRISTMAS GREETINGS.

The people Of Mclean county
have reason to be satisfied with
conditions existing at this Christ
mas tide. There have been nc
epidemics; the general health of
the community has been good;
the prosperity Of the people un-
bounded. New towns have sprung
up as if by magic and older ones
have doubled in population. Ma
ture has been kind and a bounte-
Gus harvest has been garnered.
While in many localities through
out the length and breadth Of the
land there have been fuel famines.
here in Mclean county there is
fuel for all-enough for all America
in fact. We have peace and pros
perity; we have riches in our soil
and in the industry of our people.

COAL LANDS RESTORED
Executive Order Puts Some
Slope Lands Back on
The Map for Home
stead Entry.

This is believed to be the outcome
of Senator Hansbrough's efforts in
behalf of the settlers who have raised
objections to the first order. 1t is
likely that the homesteader will be al
lowed to till the land and make it his
home, but where there are workable
coal veins the government will retain
ownership thereof except on amount
required for the own use of the
claimant. II
BY executive order of July rs, 1906,
quite a number of townships-that is
all the vacant government lands with
in certain limits on the Missouri
Slope-were withdrawn from entry
or relocation because of the presence
of workable Ignite veins thereon.
By departmental order of Dec. 18th,
received at the United States land
office at Bismarck this order is
amended so as to admit of filings
other than coal entries.
The townships affected in Mclean
county are as follows:
Township lat, ranges 80, "a, IS, Sc.
Township 146, ranges 80, SO, "a.
Township 145, range "a.
Township IA, ranges 81, "a.

DEATH OF MRS. FRED KLEIN.

D1ED-Mrs. Fred Klein on the
18th day of December, aged Is
years, 3 months and S days.
Mrs. Klein had been ailing for
some time and everything possible
was done to ease the suffering but
TO no avail and she passed to her

sumption.
Besides her parents and sorrow-
ing husband there are five brothers
and five sisters to mourn her loss.
Deceased was a daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Johan Koenig of IN
derwood.
What makes her death especially
sad at this time is the fact that
Nh Klein's home has been visited
by the Death Angel twice in the
past six months, both of his child
rem having died. The funeral SER
vices was held Thursday in the
Baptist church twelve miles north
of Washburn, the remains being,
laid to rest in the Baptist cemetery

VICTIM IF
THE MOROS
ON THE China
e. e. NORVAL AND FOUR OTHER
AMERICANS WERE SHOT WHEN
CAPTURE SEEMED IMMINENT.

Scared by eight wounds made with
rifle and machete, E. E. Norval a
through passenger on the S. S. China,
is going home for a rest. He carries
the marks of a deadly conflict with the
savage Moros of the Philippines. That
the man is still alive and able to tell
of his remarkable experiences seems
little short of a miracle.
Norval was and is still, connected
with the custom service i'm the Phi
lippines. He was in the neighborhood
of Iloilo some months ago when he was
captured by one of the bands of maui
raiders. Another American was also
taken prisoner with him. Norval ex-
pected that he would be tortured to
death if he were captured so made a
desperate struggle. He was taken
prisoner however but not until the
savage natives had inflicted number
of wounds upon him. He and his COM
panion were taken away into the wilds
of the island. subsequently three
American soldiers were taken prison
ers.
The pursuing American troops were
pressing so closely on the Moros that
the latter decided to kill their prison.
ers. The entire five were lined up and
the Filipinos proceeded to shoot them.
Two of them feel dead at the first vol
ley and the others including Norval,
fell to the ground, severely injured.
Norval moved and a second shot was
fired into his body. Subsequently he
was found by the American troops and
sent to Iloilo where he was nursed to
health, One of his hands was so badly
injured that he has but little use Of his
fingers.

PUMLCE
LINER ENCOUNTERED EVIDENCE
TWO DAYS AGO OF SOME SUB
MARINE ERUPTION.

Striking evidence of either the VAL
paraiso earthquake or some submarine
eruption, was met by the S. S. Korea
on her recent trip to this port from San
Francisco
Day before yesterday the vessel pass
ed wide patch of discolored water,
evidently due to broken pieces OF pu-
mice stone. The sea took on an oily
appearance i'm the discolored section.
There was no other evidence i'm the
way of currents or activity of the wa
ter to indicate any immediate sub
marine activity
Naturally the keonest interest was
taken in the condition of the water and
the general impression seemed to be
that the discoloration was due to the
Valparaisan earthquake.
DR.. Herbert who was a returning
passenger, on the vessel acquainted
himself with the longitude and lati-
tude of the discoloration and will make
a report of the occurrence to a British
scientific bureau where records of phe-
nomena are kept.
1t is by no means unlikely that the
pumice may have been due to the sub
marine eruption that scalded fish tc

FRAMING
COMMITTEE SPENT
ENDORSEMENT OF COOPER.

1t was a current report at the con-
vention held on Maui last Saturday
that one of the reasons that kept the
Platform Committee out for such a
long time was a clause of the platform
endorsing H. E. Cooper for the next
Governor of Hawaii. 1t is said that
much of the time Of the Committee
was held in discussing that.
Most of the delegates to the Conven-
ton We're of the opinion that it was
far too early to endorse anyone for
the office of governor. 1t was this that
led the committee to throw out that
clause and let it go over
1t was also rumored that If the COM
mittee should report and include that
plank in the platform that it would be
contested before the convention, as a
number of the delegates were opposed
to such action being taken.

AGAINST
THE SLATE
FOURTH DISTRICT RIVALS DE-
VELOPING SORENESS AGAINST
BROWN.

The Fourth District Republicans
hope to straighten out their troubles
in the caucus to be held this evening
in San Antonio hail. There is a pros
pect of a considerable row, and some
of the active ones are even talking of
a movement of opposition to Brown
This comes from the rival supporters
of the various aspirants for the super
visorship nominations. Each has been
claiming Browns support and each
wants it, and those who do not get it
will be fighting him.
In the second Of the Fourth, which
held a test primary on candidates and
therefore has an instructed delegation,
there is talk of giving up the instruc-
ton. 1t is claimed that the precinct
club has the power, if it so desires, to
meet and rescind the resolution which
provided that the delegation should be
instructed for those who got a ma
jority at the primary. This is all a
part of the apprenticeship row.
Brown, it is said will keep his hands
off the apprenticeship fight and let the
others scrap it outfit he can. But
there are those who claim promises of
support and though the promises are
| by no means acknowledged by Brown,
there are more of them claimed by
others than could possibly be fulfilled.
The claimed promises conflict. Hence
the soreness which is causing a lot of
dark horse talk in the Fourth. Some
of it may come out in the caucus to-
night.
Local comment was general today on
the smallness and unfairness of the
Carter eposide in the Territorial con-
vention, and a reaction has resulted
which has given the governor some in

To The Voters
OfHOlOIlIDI

In view of my candidacy for the
nomination by the Republican Party to
the Office of Deputy Sheriff of Homo
lulu. and because of certain attacks
that have been made upon me- desire
to recall to public attention some facts
relative to my first assumption of the
duties connected with the Sheriff's De-
partment.
l was appointed deputy to the High
Sheriff of the Territory Of Hawaii i'm
November, 1904, by Mr.. William Henry,
High Sheriff, in place OF Albert Nc
Gurn, who was removed. My APP
pointment by Mr., Henry was approved
by Hon. George r. Carter, Governor of
the Territory.
When upon the eXtradition Of Henry
Kapea, a detailing clerk of the Ha-
waiian Trust Company, it became
necessary to send an officer to London
to receive the prisoner, was selected
by Lorrin Andrews, Attorney General,
with the approval of Governor Carter,
as best qualified to perform that duty.
1t seems hardly necessary to say that
the trust so committed to me was i'm
portant; and that it was satisfactorily
fulfilled.
Upon my return prominent leaders Of
the Civic Federation used every en-
deavor to prevail on me to run on an
independent ticket for the office of De-
putty Sheriff with Mr.. William T. Raw
Inns, whom they hoped to induce to OPP
pose A. NJ. Brown for the Office of
County Sheriff. Believing my allie
glance due to the Republican Party,
