 In the spring of 9S the Spanish American war broke out and among the first to enlist was Gus Iedyard who had always been one of the most peaceable residents of the Yale com munity The Yale battery was formed and went to Mantle before the year was ended receiving the diplomas while blvouacked there. The Yale bat tery never reached the front but Led yard was struck by the war fever and went to the Philippines as a second lieutenant There because of his good service he was made q first lieutenant and was kllledln an engagement
 Interesting in connection with the death of Ledyard was the fact that soon after. the Boxers arose and swept over China Ledyard's sister, the wife of the German ambassador to China, was a prisoner in one of the refuges of the Christians and for a long time it was believed that the fortress would be overcome Before the Boxers could capture the place, however. the selge had been raised and in members of 1 the embassy were saved,

New York. May 8.-Sevsnty-two
men who for more than twenty.four
hours had been facing death in the
raging sea near Fire island were res
cued from the crumbling hulk Of the
big German ship Peter Rickmers. The
rescue was effected after one of the
most trying experiences the lifesavers
on this exposed coast had ever been
called upon to face. No less than a
dozen times hope Of saving the men
on the doomed ship was all but aban-
doned and It was only the easing Of
the gale and terrific sea that made
rescue possible. Fortunately not q
man was lost and it Is believed that
not one Of them suffered any per.
manont harm as result Of their long
fight against death. Tho great steel
ship. one Of the finest sailing vessels
that ever rode the sea, is q total
wreck. Her bow and stern have been
completely torn of by the waves. her
masts were ripped out, her Lighthouses
and bridge swept away and she is full
Of water. She is lying far back on
the bar and it is unlikely even that
any effort will be made to tow her to
deep water again.

NEGROES WHO ARE FIGHTING

In the May American Magazine Ray
Stannard Baker writes about the two
great factions of negroes in this
country. One is the conservative
faction led by Booker T.. Washington.
The other is the radical faction, led by
Professor Du Bots.
Whenever these two factions get
together, especially in Boston, there is
always quarrel. Following is hot
editorial from the Boston Guardian,
which is the organ of the radicals: =

Nebraska State Journal: The
Brooklyn Eagle throws cold water
upon the democratic Indians who are
still on the reservation engaged IN
ghost dancing. According to the best
figures the Eagle can find, Mr.. Bryan
now has 534 votes in his pocket. This
is only 1874 short of two-thirds of the
entire convention. Some of the
uninstructed and INDICATED delegates
are cerainly for him. The insignificant
minority may feel able to prevent his
nomination by invoking the two
thirds rule. but the majority will run
the convention in one way or another.
The Eagle sees this clearly and warns
the ghost dancers that according to
their own figures they are marshaled
in a FOOLS paradise. It will be
Bryan on the first ballot.

There are increasing indications
that some of the railroad managers
are going to attempt to organize the
railroad vote for the purpose Of throw
ing it against any party which a.
tempts railroad regulation. The rail-
road vote can be divided into two
classes. One class contains odlcials
those who collect and handle the
money which the railroads earn
these are the men who have made
railroad management odious by their
contempt for the public and by, their

believe, questions the democracy or

Stearns county faltered, the democrats
of Pierz and surrounding towns were
