sian to his list of fifteen other Ian
guages, including Greek, Hebrew,
Sanscrit and Arabic, besides various
dialects, in which he was more or
less proficient. AS linguist he be-
came the marvel of his teachers at
home and in Europe.
Rial offered to Gov. Blanco his
services as volunteer surgeon for
Cuba. This he considered doctors
duty, though undoubtedly in the war
fare his sympathies were with the
oppressed. He was accepted and put
on board cruiser. A cablegram from
Manila, however, led to his arrest
shortly after his ship reached the Med
iterranean. He was placed on a re-
turning steamer at Barcelona. Three
times England tried to save him.
Once with their onsul-generaPs pro-
test against his Imprisonment without
trial; again when an English woman
sought an interview in Madrid with
the queen-regent and on being re-
fused waylaid the royal carriage to
cry out: Justice, Madam, for poor
Rizal;" and the third time when
friends sought to secure him by writ
of habeaus corpus at the English port
of Singapore.
But Dr.. Rial was brought back to
be shot and the trial was a sorry
farce. Witnesses were examined only
to have his entire innocence of all
disloyalty clearly established, until to
escape embarrassment the military
judge said that the charges had been
sufficiently proven and it was not
necessary to hear any further testi-
mony. No time was lost in render
ing decision and he was sentenced
to die Dec. 80, 1896. The request that
he might not be shot in the back,
because he was a traitor neither to
Spain nor to his own country, was
ruGely refused But a powerful effort
of the will as he fell helped the vic
tim to turn himself so as to lie with
his face to the sky. Thus the Span
ish soldiers saw him as they filed
past his dead body. The cheer for
Spain and the exultant music of the
band as it played the March of Cadiz
did not prevent feeling of admira
ton for the brave man. The triumph
was brief, for though the first ami
versary of his death was celebrated
by desecrating his grave, the second
found it decorated and now the day
has become the greatest and most
sacred occasion in the Philippines.

A Philippine Patriot.

The martyr-hero of the Philippines
is Jose Rial. He was born in Luzon,
June 10, 1861. His fathers family be-
gan in the islands with a Chinese
named Lam-co, who came from the
Annoy district possibly to avoid the
political troubles which followed the
conquest by the Manchus. In 1897
this ancestor was baptized with the
Christian name Domingo. He was
first a merchant, but afterwards be-
came a farmer to escape the bitter
anti-Chinese prejudice which then eN-
listed in Manila.
Joses father was also a farmer, so
industrious that the landlords kept in
creasing his acreage till he became
one of the most prosperous of their
tenants His mother possessed not
only exceptional ability, but an edu-
cation unusual in it's reach and liber-
atty. She was of the best native
blood with some mixture of Chinese
and Spanish. Her family counted
lawyers, merchants and government
officials among it's members. They
boosted of one representative of the
Philippines in the Spanish Cortes, and
it is said to have been a youthful am
bition of Jose to fill the same position
some day.
"A new family name was adopted in
1880 by authority of royal decree.
Rial, shortened form of the Span
ish word for second crop" seemed
suited to a family of farmers who
were making a second start in new
home.
Jose's mother taught him his let
tiers, which he learned at three. The
impression of his first reading le-
son, the story of the foolish butter
fly in Able Sabatier's "Children's
Friend" was prophetic of martyrs
fate, for the child envied the insect
which had died for the sake of the
light. Early the injustices and abuses,
daily to be seen, attracted his atten-
ton, and no small part of his child
hood training came from listening to
the Spaniards who often were guests
in the :kiZal home.
At 16 Jose received his bachelors
degree in arts, with highest honors,
having led his class in both depart
ment and scholarship throughout the
course, and having won most of the
prizes offered by the school. His
later studies were in agriculture, phil.
esophy and medicine. Rial always

he learned that a man has duties as
we'll as rights. So, out of these con-
siderations he resolved to help his
people by campaign of education.
He now went to Leipzig for further
study and writing Here he met DR..
Jaeger in whose "Travels in the Phil
ippines," he had read away back in
the early eighties that 1.-The Amer
leans are evidently destined to bring
to a full development the germs Or
iginated by the Spanish" With the
great geographer he discussed the ed
ucation and training needed to pre-
pare his people successfully to COM
pete with an energetic, creative, and
progressive nation, for he recognized
that the Filipinos had dreamed away
their best days.
Rial embodied the distresses of his
people in a patriotic novel of which
w. D. Howells said: 81 don't know
whether it ought to be astonishing
or not that a little saffron man some
where in that unhappy archipelago
should have been born with a gift
so far beyond that of any or all of
the authors of our roaring literary
successes, but these things are
strangely ordered by Providence and
no one who has read this pathetic
novel can deny it's Unreasonable SUI
periority. 1t is great novel, OF
which the most poignant effect is in
sense of unimpeachable veracity.
The book destroyed Spain's prestige
in the Philippines, and laid bare to
the world the hideousness of their adj
ministration, as Uncle Toms Cabin
struck a blow from which slavery
never recovered. RiZal's book is
largely built up out of the experience
es of his own kindred. Part of it re-
lates to the treatment of his mother

Our governor-general issues a proc
lamation for it's proper observance as

Presently the ashes of the martyr
are to be deposited in what will be
| by far the finest of Manila's monu'
ments, the 1OOOOO-pesos memorial
which is to mark the place when ne
gave his life for his country.
His mother still lives and not long
ago refused a proffered pension from
the assembly with the statement that
she did not believe in paid patriotism
and was content that her son had
done his duty.
A new province bears Dr.. Rizals
name, his picture is upon the most
used postage stamps and paper mon
ey,. every town has it's Rial street or
square and a monument, and many
of them schools bearing the same
name, while Manila has f1ourishing
Rial University.
Dr.. Rizal's career is interesting be-
cause it shows the effect of western
training on the Filipino mind. Though
he was a genius it was in an Anglo
Saxon way. He entered into the
spirit of free institutions and talked
of liberty with a. realization OF it's
responsibilities that is absent from
the dreams of most Latin writer's.
Just after Rial became aware OF
his sentence to death he wrote: The
Final Farewell"

Legislation and Tuberculosis.

Des Moines, March 22-The legisla-
ture now in session is dealing with
the greatest program of social ques-
tons ever attempted by a general as
Sembly of Iowa. Roads, schools, tax
reform, employers liability and COM
pensation, prison reforms, teachers
pensions, public health and state in
situations are indeed formidable ar
ray of important social matters. No
legislature in the history of our state
has been confronted by so many big
community questions, and there GER
tainly has never been more earnest
effort made toward a proper solution
of these questions. 1t is idle to eX-
pect all of these problems to be fully
solved, but the people may rest as
sured that serious consideration is be-
ing given to their solution.
A most gratifying tendency is seen
in the direction OF health legislation.
A number of bills dealing with health
administration have been introduced
and much time has been spent in for
mulating what are hoped to be wise
measures. This is particularly true
regarding the proper care of tubercu-
losis. A growing belief among the
members of the assembly that ade-
quate hospital care is for consumpt-
ives has resulted in measures which
will empower counties to make ade
quate provision for INDECENT persons
suffering with tuberculosis and who
cannot properly care for themselves,
and increased equipment at Oakdale.
The appeal is at once human, while
on the other hand it involves the still
greater consideration of prevention.
TO properly care for the advanced
consumptive is wise state craft. The
people generally should become inter
ested in these measures which have
to do with the prevention of tubercu-
losis, and it is hoped that encourage
ment may be given to every represent
alive and senator to provide for a
great hopeless class who must perish
without help. The representatives in
the legislature desire to do the best
possible for all concerned,

SHAW AGAIN sue.
CESSFUL BIDDER
His Bid for Atlantic, Northern &
Southern RaiIoad Was the
Best Received.
HIS LAST BID WAS $29a, 1000. 90
Receiver Harlan Allowed All to Raise
Their Bids If They So Desired,
Which Resembled An Auction

Last Friday, March 21st, was the
day set for the resale of the Atlantic,
Northern & Southern railroad, which
took place at Atlantic, and from all
news reports Leslie M. Shaw was
again the successful bidder for the
road which has been in tangle for
the past year. Mr.. Shaw's bid of
$4,000 was considered to be the high
est bid for the whole road.
About fifteen bidders were entered,
but only three of the bids will be con-
sidered. Shortly after the opening of
the bids, Receiver Harlan announced
that if any of the bidders wanted to
raise their bids they could do so, and
as result the resale took on the
aspect OF public auction for num-
her of the bids were raised several
times. The court set April 9Th as the
time for passing on these bids and
Judge Arthur will decide at that time
to whom the road will go.
The three highest bidders We're:
S. c. Petersen, $4,000 for the
north end of the road.
Robert Ables, $174,SOO for the south
end of the road.
The Blakdale company, by Leslie
n. Shaw, $293,O00 on the whole road.
Earl B. Shaw, son of Leslie M. Shaw
bid S392,000 on the whole road, but
his bid was not accompanied by the
necessary per cent penalty. Instead
he offered a check for 50 900. The
other bids were accompanied by the
per cent.
The Shaw bid on the whole road is
Just equal to the sum of the two bids
or the separate parts of the road and
this is taken to mean that he would
be entitled to be considered the high
est bidder for the whole property. 1t
is the common belief of those inter-
ested in this railroad deal that Mr..
Shaw has secured sufficient backing
ia carry the deal through without
hitch and that the sale will be a bona
iide one.
We sincerely hope that Mr.. Shaw
will be decided to have possession of
the road under the terms of his bid
when it is decided by Judge Arthur
next month. For over a year Mr..
Shaw has been endeavoring to get
control of this railroad property and
his many friends in this locality have
watched with interest every develop
ment that has been made and all will

this end that the Railway Holding
company was organized and furthered
by him. At the time of his resigna-
ton from the chamber of commerce
he was president of the Arizona State
Development board and had done some
excellent work in this line. He was a
road enthuiast and an earnest work
er in anything that was for the pro-
duction of the moral and intellectual
welfare of Tucson and the state.

spies of the packers prevented all at
tempts at organization Of the work

By importing hundreds of peasants
from Southeastern Europe every
month the packers have kept the
supply of labor greatly ahead of the

They thus have been able to die

Bartlesville, Okla April 5.-That

ity in the murder of her husband is
shown by the activity on the part of
County Attorney Pat Malloy of Tulsa
county and County Attorney w. j.

for the state to get away before the
case comes to trial in May. County
Attorney Donohue received tele-

Morris is employed in the oil fields
OF Lincoln county. County Attorney
Donohue got busy early and as soon
as the necessary papers were prepared
got into communication with District
Judge Hudson at Pawhuska. The pa
pers were forwarded to the judge for
his signature and then sent to the

1t was reported to Mr.. Malloy that
Morris, who is a material witness, was
ahcut to leave the state. His where
