The Mitchell Capital
FRIDAY, JANUARA 10, 1908.
As TO THE PHILIPPINES.

Record-Herald Secretary Taft
brought us encouraging news regard
ing the industrial conditions in the
Philippine archipelago. lie had
seen evidence Of %leyiving trade and
Increasing comfort for the natives.
But 1T cannot be said that the
Omitted States has contributed much
to this revival Neither can 1T be
said that our present. mner with
the Islands Is at all satisfactory, or
even nearly so whether we take a
purely selfish or q benevolent point
of view of the matter.
Official figures show that during
the fiscal year 1907 we exported to
tho archipelago IS, 65S. 0cO worth of
merchandise of all Kinds. This
represents about one-fonrth of its
Imports. Central America, Canada.
Cuba, Hayti, Mexico aud Santo
Domingo get from so to 20, per cent
Of their imports ia our markets.
They are independent countries, and
none Of them, save Cuba, has any
special tariff arrangement with us.
The Philippines are American terri
tory, yet we do less business with
them than With any Of the countries
named. AS. ITO the Philippine sales
to America, to figures are even less
satisfactory or c%reditable. Ia the
year under review we took from the
Islanders only $3.50 900 worth Of
dutlable merchandise. We imported
S442, 900 worth of their sugar and.
1B,40O worth Of their tobacco, though
their total sugar exports we're valued
at "a, 600, 600 and those of tobacco at
92,OOG, 900. We take a great deal Of
their hemp. which is admitted free
of duty. No wonder the natives
took from us In to same year less
than So 900, 1000 worth of goods.
These figures carry their own moral.
Congress should at this session
remove or lower the duty on Philip
piEe sugar and tobacco. II we help
the natives they will purchase
more from us. Neither the export
nor the import side of the present
Grade with them furnishes an arqu-
ment for q policy of standpatism
toward the archipelago.

WORK WEAkENs KIDNEYS
Doan's Kidney Pills Have Done Great
Service fer People Who Work in
Mitchell.

Most Mitchell people work every
day IN some strained, unnatural posi-
tlon-bending constantly over a desk
riding on jolting wagons or cars
doing laborious homework; lifting,
reaching or pulling, or trying the
back in a hundred and one other
ways. All these strains end to wear,
weaken and injure the kidneys until
they fall behind in their work of fit
ering the poisons from the blood.
Doan's Kidney Pills cure sick kidneys
put e strength in bad backs:
Mitchell cures prove it.

The Artesian Commonwealth feels
real hurt over the criticism made by
Z writer at Milbank concerning the
appearance Of Hans Ustrud in Mil
hank recently. Mr.. Ustrud, we will
say, is the state superintendent Of
public instruction. The Common
wealth says that "Milbank is the
home Of ex-assistant superintendent
Banner. supposedly the stalwart
candidate for superintendent. We
are not acquainted with either
candidate, but 1t seems to us that
common decency would be enough to
keep Mr.. Ramer's friends from MAX
Ing such an attack on Mr.. Ustrud
In MI. Ramer's home town." The
Commonwealth editor ia stretching
things to make q weak point. Mr..
Ramer is not q resident Of Milbank.

Another thing: Mr.. Ramer has not
said anything to his friends around

superintendent Of public instruction.

DENVER, Colo. Aug. 19.-Twenty-five
of the forty-nine life insurance companies
comprising the American Life convention
were represented at it's third annual meet
ing which opened here today. The mem
bers are located mainly in the central,
southern and western states. None OF the
eastern old line companies are represented.

senting e total value Of about $5O0,OOO, 900.
There are seven more companies repre-
scented than there were at the last annual
meeting, held in Indianapolis. The amount
Of insurance carried has decreased slightly,
due primarily 90 the stringent financial
conditions of the last year.
The convention today adopted resolutions
on the death Of Charles z. Dark of Indian

BLOODY RECORD FOR RUSSIA
Twenty-Six Sentences of Death Inn
posed Throughout Empire
for RiOtinR,

ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. i9.-Seven more
sentences of death we're reported today,
making the total for one day, yesterday,
throughout the empire, twentY-six and
constituting a sinister record. One sentence
was signed at Kharkov, two at S%aratov,
three at Kiev, five at warsaw, five at
Pluck and ten at Lodz. The two men SEN
fenced at Saratov, were former sailors at
tached to the Black sea fleet and had been
found guilty of taking the lead in al
attempt to pillage an estate. The three
men at Kiev were found guilty Of attempt
ing to murder a forester; the five Warsaw
men were convicted Of robbery accom-
panied by violence, and the ten men at
LODI were condemned for an armed attack
on a railroad train. The dispatches do not
mention the reasons for the Kharvok and
Piusk sentences. There we're two execu-
lions yesterday at Warsaw, one at Tiflis
and several at st. Petersburg.
The seventeen members of the first
Douma who on May q began serving three
months imprisonment imposed for signing

HONOR OF DUTCH is IMPUGNED
TeXt'Of Answer to Venezuela Arrived
At After Long Session of
IS Cabinet.

THE HAGUE, Aug. 19.-After an nine
hour session, during which the dispute be-
tween the Netherlands and Venezuela was
c~anvassed exclusively in all its phases,
tie dabihet dispersed shortly after mid
nlght last night and Minister of Foreign
Affairs Van Swinderen, proceeded to the
royal chateau at Het Loo to acquaint
queen Wilhelmina with the result Of the
council.
The terms of the Netherlands answer 10
the letter Of President Castro Of Venezuela,
were fully discussed and 1t is understood
that the actual text. as well as broad lines
of action drawn up to meet any possible
eventualities, were agreed upon.
In diplomatic circles here, the view Is
entertained that the present difficulty be-
tween Holland and Venezuela is not Of a
nature to be settled by arbitration, and in
explanation It Is pointed out that the diff
f~iculties that have arisen between Vene-
zuela and Great Britain, Germany and
America.
In these cases the governments in ques-
ton sought satisfaction for claims. but
Holland has no claim against Venezuela.
1t is maintained here that the present ques-
ton Is rather one OF sovereignty and ma
tionsl honor, matters which are not sus-
ceptible Of solution by arbitration.

ENGLAND HAS NINE HORROR
sixty and Seventy Men
Caught I'm Shaft and Blown
to Pieces.

wIGAN, England. Aug. LIT is now be-
lieved that not a single man of the seventy
miners, who were entombed by an ex-
plosion, which occurred yesterday in the
Maypole Coal mine here, survived the
disaster.
TIL four men reported rescued yester-
day were engaged in an adjoining building.
The ventilating fan, which was put out
of order by the explosion. was repaired
this morning and the mine having been
cleared of gases, the rescue party again
descended. The sight which met their
eyes was horrifying. Not far from the
bottom Of the shaft eighteen bodies were
found all frightfully mutilated, legs and
arms had been blow off, and heads battered
almost beyond recognition.
The management Of the mine declares
that between sixty and seventy men were
underground at the time of the explosion,
and that there is no hope that anyone
would be brought out alive. The women
and children, however, who remained at the
pit head all night refused to leave until
the bodies of their dead are brought to
the surface. Nothing else will convince
them of the hopelessness of waiting.

whether a republican or democrat shall
be selected to succeed Senator Foraker.
The latter has told his friends privately
he would not be a candidate for re-elec-
ton, but his supporters contemplate
backing him whether he desires IT or
not In view OF the attitude of Presi-
dent Roosevelt, however IL is accepted
as q foregone conclusion that Foraker
stands no, chance. The men who are mem
toned as candidates are Representative
Theodore e. Burton of Cleveland, who
has been unable to make any Roadway
outside OF his native city, and Harry
D~augherty, with Charles p. Taft. brother
Of the republican candidate for the pres
idency, and Mr.. Vorys. his Ohio oam-
paign advisor, looming in the back
ground. 1t is not believed, however, that
either of the two last named will allow
their names to be presented to the lcgis-
lature.
1t Is realized by republicans that they
must make a showing in the campaign
which will convince the entire country
that Taft will carry the state by an
overwhelming majority. The moral eff
feet OF a good run is most important.
Therefore they are preparing plans to go
through every county with a fine-tooth
comb. In the labor districts Mr.. Taft's
record upon injunction is to be clearly
explained. The business element Of the
state unquestionably is behind him. The
farmers very generally are talking ia
vorably about the former secretary. In
deed, what opposition there is has not
the spirit and vim which are necessary
to success. The democrats are proceed
ing so l~anguidly in their fight against
the republican national ticket as to give
the impression that they feel themselves
beaten before they have toed the scratch.
II is likely Mr.. Bryan will descend upon
the Buckeye state and will seek to in
fuse vigor into the backbones of his fol-
lowers! but he will be handicapped here
by the natural pride Ohioans have in the
candidacy of their f~avorite son, a pride
the democrats themselves do not dis
count, JOHN CALLAN O'EAUGHLIN.

BANK MAY COST MILLION
New Building mt Sixteenth aud Har-

stories.

c. N. Atkinson. cashier 81 the state Trust
company Of st. Louis, which is Interested
in the organization Of a new bank in Omaha,
is in the city to work out the plans for the
organization and the bulldog.
Mr.. Atkinson has nothing to say regard
ing the new bank, but is here to negotiate
with the owners and agents for the lots
at Sixteenth and Harvey streets and is
considering one other site which location
IL not disclosed. 49,,
According to ore OF the Omahans inter-
ested the new banks plans will exceed those
originally announced in The Bee. 1t is now
possible that the proposition will involve
more than 100000 ard mean a building OF
twelve stories or more for Omaha.
Since the announcement was made that
the bank would be organized in Omaha, the
firms interested have received many letters
from capitalists in Nebraska, who signify
their willingness to participate in the or
ganization Of a big state bank in Omaha.
one president Of a small bank in. Nebraska
says he would be glad to associate himself
with the bankers and has $4,000 to invest
in the proposition.
J.. II. Dumopt & Son are conducting the
negotiations for the site. Mr.. Dumont says
he has nothing to say whatever, except that
negotiations are still pending for a site.
George & Co, who are agents for the
site at Sixteenth and Harvey street, refuse
to discuss the matter or say whether an
option has been taken on the lots, worth
1882, 900 or not. c. C. George says n~egotla-
tions have been opened with his firm by the
