MUCH FIGHTING WITH MOROS
American Troops Have to XIII Man
Outlaws In Mlndanao and .JOlo

Lanao, Mindanao, P. l., Dee. 15.-
Forty-two Moro outlaws were killed
here yesterday in an engagement OF
American scouts. There were no ia
talities on the American side. The
battle occurred in connection with the
campaign for suppressing organized
brigandage among the Moros
The disarmament of the entire Moro
population of Mindanao and Jolo was
ordered by the American military au-
thorities three months ago, after a
number of murderous attacks on AM
ericans. Since that time the troops
have been actively engaged in carry
ing out the order.
Most of the chiefs gave up their
weapons peaceahly, but there has been
series OF sharp engagements with
bandits. The casualties among the
Americans have been few.

The state board of regents has
voted to abolish the academic and
collegiate branches taught in the
Northern Normal school at ADer-
deem and confne the work to nor
NAL and industrial training as O.
riginally planned when the school
was started. A strong protest
was male by citizens of the north
part of the state who had been
anticipating the establishment of
another state college at that place.
The action of the board will be
commended by most people Of the
state, as our state is not yet in
condition to demand more than
one university, and the duplicate
work that is being done in our var
ious schools makes it very expen-
siYe to maintain them.

The Miilers' National association
claims to have received reports
from twelve of the leading wheat
producing states and only one
state South Dakota, reports pros.
poets of light wheat crop, the
others all reporting normal or in
creased yield. This report pro-
badly indicates that South Dakota
has smaller crop of liars than
any of thu other states. During
the past week the writer talked
with man who had just complet-
ed trip of three thousand miles
taking him thru several wheat
producing states, and he says
South Dakota beats them all.
This report is also confirmed by
several others who have visited
other states and yet the prospects
are not bright for any thing more
than a medium crop of wheat in
South Dakota.

Mr.. Lindberg, the insurgent re-
publican congressman from Mime
sofa, is now just as bitter against
the democratic bosses as he was
during the last session against the
republicans. He says the con-
gresamen who surrender to caucus
control are traitors. During the
last congress Mr.. Lindberg refused
to abide by the republican caucus
instructions and cooperated with
the democrats who encouraged
him in his bolt. In this session
the democrats have a majority and
are standing loyalty by their own
caucus instructions so they have
no use for Mr.. Lindberg and he
finds that he is nonentity. The
time may come when rule by
parties will be done away with,
but as long as party organization
exists the caucus is the only effect
i've way of doing it and it is the
man who refuses to abide by the
decision of caucus that he parti-
cipates in who is the traitor rather
than the man who stays by it.

Congressman Martin is urging
the Milwaukee railroad company
to proceed with the extension of
its line west from Faith and the
Northwestern to extend northeast
from Newell. Both roads had
planned on these extensions this
spring but owing to uncertainty in
financial conditions have post
poned it. Owing to the dry wealth
er in the northwestern portion of
the state, said to be the worst for
thirty years, the new settlers there
are in Strengthened circumstances,

that both the roads and the settlers

The apparent needless delay of
the government in settling the
Alaskan coal difficulty is exasper-
ating to the citizens of Alaska,
and they are finding many sympa-
thizers in the states. Because of
the suspicion that there have been
some fraudulent land entries made
in that country the radical con-
servationists have succeeded in
holding up all patents to the Alask-
an coal lands, the innocent with
the guilty. The result is that A.
laska, with an abundance of coal
under nsr feet is obliged to ship
her coal in from Canadian ports.
It is no wonder that the people of
Cordova recently initiated the
"Boston Tea Party" and dumped a
cargo of imported coal into the
ocean. The Alaskan coal-land
claims have recently been turned
over by the Interior department to
the supreme court for settlement
which probably means a further
delay of three years. Reasonable
conservation is all right but WE
seem to be getting an oyer dose Of
it.

BIRTH OF A WING.
Evolution of the Aquatic Pupa Into the
Dragon Fly.

Dragon Fly.
Says a writer in the Scientific Amer
lean: "a wonderful spectacle is pre-
sented by the sudden apparition of
an insects wing at the completion of
its metamorphosis. The transforma-
tion of the grub into the butterfly,
though familiar, is none the less amaZ-
ing, but the evolution of the active and
gossamer winged dragon fly from its
ugly and sluggish aquatic pupa is still
more impressive. Early on May morn
ing the pupa energies from its cocoon
at the bottom of a ditch, swims on its
back by padding with its long haired
paws to the stem of an aquatic plant
and climbs up out of the water. Then,
after momentary pause, the skin
suddenly bursts open and the perfect
insect appears, with closely folded
wings. which soon unfold and assume
their final form.
The older naturalists thought thai
the insect swallowed air. with which
the wings were inflated In reality
the air is absorbed in the digestive
organs. causing an increased blood
pressure. which mechanically expands
the wings. The presence Of dew Is
also necessary; hence the first flight is
always made at dawn.
This spectacle of the birth of a
wing may be observed in dragon flies
reared in an aquarium, the atmos
phere of which should be moistened
with an atomizer when the pupa rises
to the surface"

RULE OF THE ROAD.
Decided Abroad by the Sword and
Here by the Gun.

Oecioeo ABROAD ny Ine o"oTu ano
Here by the Gun.
Several travellers were seated in the
hotel lobby discussing the difference
in customs of the various countries
they had visited. What struck me
as most peculiar abroad" said one,
sis the custom of keeping to the left
instead of the right, as we do here.
Why is the rule reversed?'
II think l can explain that" said
reserved looking man in the corner.
"In medieval and later periods abroad
men were in the custom of wearing
swords. The sword was worn, as 1t is
now, on the left side. Consequently
in drawing their weapon it was done
with the right hand, and TO get quick
ly upon guard Il man had TO have his
right sde' to his opponent; hence the
custom of keeping to the left.
"Tn America when every man carried
his life i'm his hand on account of saw
age Indians all men carried guns The
easiest and most natural way to carry
gun, either afoot or mounted. is over
the left arm with the muZZle pointed
outward, and ii takes but a very slight
