WAR WITH SPAIN
WAS S4OYEARSACO
Policy Which Brought U. S.
Island Possessions Dates
From 1898.

| BY the Associated Press.
Forty years ago tomorrow the United
States declared war on Spain and en-
barked on a policy that involved her
heavily in the Far East.
From April Is, 1898, dates the policy
some writer's have called the great
aberration"-which brought us the
Philippines. Puerto Rico and Guam
and stretched our lines of interest
far to the east.
On that day telegraph lines carried
the fateful news that Congress had
declared a state OF war with Spain.
The Nation had already gone
through two stirring months. with
war alarms ringing in the land.
The battleship Maine blew up In
Havana Harbor February Is, with
the loss of 260 American officers and
sailors.
Caused Internal Explosion.
A court of inquiry consisting of
| American naval officers concluded
that an external explosion thrust in
the ships bottom plates. probably
produced an internal explosion in the
powder magazine.
Three weeks after the Maine sank
Congress unanimously appropriated
$50,000,000 for national defense and
each and every purpose connected
Herewith"
Next the United States presented
Spain with series Of demands de-
signed to bring independence to Cuba,
then in the throes of revolution.
The Queen Of Spain replied by CIV
ing orders to Capt. Blanco in Cuba to
suspend hostilities with the Cuban
revolutionaries so as to prepare for
and facilitate peace negotiations.
On April President Mckinley de-
cided to submit the Cuban question to
Congress, but postponed it until Amer
ican citizens were evacuated from
! Havana
Europe Was Alarmed.
Europe was alarmed at the threat
ening war clouds. The Pope offered
his mediation.
Germany took the lead. through
her ally, Austria Hungary, in making
peace representations here and In
Madrid. Germany. diplomatic docu-
ments show, was anxious to prevent
war because she had a plan in mind
for purchasing the Spanish Islands
in the Pacific, including the Phil
ippines.
Austria Hungary lined up Great
Britain, France. Italy and Russia to
join with her and Germany in a joint
note presented by the six Ambassa-
dors to President Mckinley April 8.
Nevertheless, on April II President
McKinleys message went to Con-
gress. He recommended the use OF
the United States Army in enforc-
ing peace in Cuba.
Congress on April 10 passed q joint
resolution declaring Cuba independ-
ent, demanding Spain withdraw from
Cuba. empowering the President to
use the Army, Navy and Militia toward
this end, and disclaiming any inten-
ton to annex Cuba.
The President signed the joint reso-
luton April 90. On the same date
he sent an ultimatum to Spain, ex-
piring April % at noon. Spain not
having answered, Congress declared
that a state Of war existed since
April 81.

D-BALL LEAGUE

Doctors Issue Eye
Advice for VacatiOnists.

Getting something in your eye" is
a frequent vacation discomfort and
therefore rates some advice in today's
bulletin from the Minnesota State
Medical Associations Committee on
Public Health Education.
The first thing. to remember about
foreign bodies in the eye is this, accord
ing to the doctors: Never rub the af-
flicted eye.
Usually the particle of sand, dirt,
cinders, glass, coal, emery dust or metal
is merely lodged on the surface either
of the eyeball or of the inside of the
lid. If it is rubbed, the particle may
become imbedded in the eyeball and
what might have been merely a short
discomfort may become a serious wound
with possibilities of permanently i'm
paired vision.
''The first thing to do is to pull the
upper lid outward and downward over
the lower lid to increase the flow of
tears and help them to wash out the
foreign body. If this first aid measure
does not work, the best course is to
apply cold compress and get expert
help as soon as possible" the bulletin
declares.
In industries such as quarrying and
stone cutting, splinters of stone fire.
quently get into the workers eyes. But
fewer corneal ulcers develop as a result
of them than among farmers, students
or travellers who are likely to Use
clumsy measures of removal or to de-
lay getting help until serious in
flammation has set in.
The reason the stone workers suffer
so few bad effects is because they are
instructed by their employers to re-
port any such accident promptly and
never to allow fellow workers or other
unframed persons to try to treat them
If ulcers develop as result of wounds
in the eyeball, there is grave danger of
permanent loss of sight.

Mobiles County Men Fined
for Wasting BdsslUOOd Fish

Erick Roster, state game warden now
in the Slayton district in MOBILES county,
formerly of this section, sends us a
clipping from the Slayton Herald in
which it is shown that three men re-
Gently encamped on American Point,
Eastwood lake, ran afoul of the
game laws while here. The Herald said !:
"T'he wanton waste of game fish is
not only poor craftsmanship, but an
expensive proposition, it was indelibly
impressed on the minds of three Mobiles
county men in Justice Campbells court
in this city.
Game Warden G. H. Dethmers, of
this district, was notified by Warden B.
C. Carlson, of Ely, that three fishermen
had wantonly wasted pike on three diff
ferent occasions, at Eastwood Lake
near Winton, MINI. The fish, the war
den reported, were allowed to die and
then were thrown into the lake
Since there were but few fishermen
on the lake at the time it was easy to
trace the offenders, and furnished with
the names, Warden Dethmers went to
Worthington, where he placed Henry R
Bray, county engineer of Mobiles county;
Oscar Grant, patrol-operator of the
MOBILES highway department, and Ben
DiSteldorf, of Dundee, under arrest.
The three men admitted throwing
fish away, but said they did not know
that the state laws provided punish
ment for so doing. The Ely warden
said that one string of pike that were
discarded weighed SO pounds.
1.-THE trio pleaded guilty to wanton
waste here, Tuesday, and fine OF
$500 each, and costs, was meted out to
them by Justice Campbell Costs
amounted to $3.50 each"

Heron Lake News-We do not be-
ieve that the objection to the sales tax
that it is tax on the poor is valid
one. The poor pay only the sales tax
yet receive the benefit of schools, good
roads, and all public improvements.
Other taxpayers not only pay the sales
tax but pay, in addition, income taxes,
personal property taxes and dozen
other taxes. Everyone enjoying the
benefits of government should be will
ing to shoulder share of the tax
burden.

that it was made after death. At first
it was thought that the skull was that
of an aged man named Chamberlain,
who disappeared II years ago from his
sons home three-quarters of mile
from where the discovery was made.
Although a hundred men searched sew
eral days for Mr.. Chamberlain no trace
of him was ever found. Upon exam
nation Of the skull the doctor stated
it was that of an adult, but the hip
bone was that of a child. This theory
led to the belief that the place where
the bones were located must have been
the scene of an Indian burying ground
and that the high water had caused
erosion, washing the graves away. The
skull contained two teeth.

Virginia Enterprise Citizens of the
Vermilion Range appear to be highly
elated over the nomination of one of
their men to legislative Office. Gust
Koski, a very fine young man of Tower,
was successful contender in the pri-
maries for the senatorship from the
61st District, and will joust for the
office in the fall with the veteran
Lommen. Mr.. Koski deserves much
credit for an education gained under
distressing difficulties, his father dying
at time when the family need was
most urgent. Responsibilities of an
older person consequently came to
young Kosh at very tender age, to be
