He has bought out his father and is now the sole owner and proprietor of the distillery. He has already brought to completion his new tail grain ele vator, and proposes to tear away the old distillery building, and erect a new one with enlarged capacity ot making 4 barrels per day, having telephone communication with all the lines of the country, so that orders can be re ceived from all parts of the country This distillery with its long record of years, will now become one of the prominent distilleries of the state at least. John G. has enlarged capacity for business, and his popularity is commensurate with the same. Un doubtedly he will make his enlarged enterprise a grand success in the near future. His numerous mends through out the state wish him all the pros perity he can possibly realize. The exchange hotel is getting along fairly under the auspices of proprietor Sutton. Boyd McHenry will assume charge of his hotel April ist. Brad Long will go back to his plow and harrow and join the hosts ot agn culture. Boyd's popularity will undoubtedly insure him success in his old business as hotel proprietor. Kelchner formerly of the Exchange is doing well running '.he Brown stand or uDDer hotel. Kelchner is a whole souled fellow and has his share friends. Thus Benton is well supplied with hotel accommodations.

Orangeville is endowed with an ele eant hotel residence, trank Ricketts proprietor. This new institution is an ornament not only to Orangeville but to this community. It is elegantly furnished with a beautiful mounted bear in the hall way, a framed picture of birds perched on palisades of winter looking down upon you ready to pipe their carols, while bear robes stretch out upon the carpets of his parlors; and tramp not upon them for tney show their ivory. This hotel residence is a commodious home for a few people of quietude and leisure. Mr. Ricketts has had enlarged experience as hotel proprietor at Genoga Lake. We forgot to mention hisantlen heads that adorn the walls that remind one of a miniature deer park.

Unangst is in a very dilapi dated condition; was prostrated more than a week ago with his old rheuma tism he received by exposure and hard service in the army. This rheumatism has been fighting him tenaciously ever since the Civil War; has had many unconscious spells the last four years, His left arm is useless and he cannot walk and can hardly sit at all for short time. His many friends are very apprehensive that he will not re cover; he may linger for a while and should he have at any time soon an other unconcious spell, it will be the night of death with him. His corn crib has been pilfered during his sick ness to a considerable extent.

Operations against the insurgent! were resumed at daylight yesterday. The gunboat sheled the town of Paslg, which the enemy deserted with all possible hnste. Later a force of 1,000 insurgents re turned to the town, which was again shelled, the enemy suffered heavy losses from the fire of the Hauling guns. Three barges loaded with pro ntured together with a Major, a faptain Insurgent rokllers, the boats. Gen. Whcaton's brigade shelled Tnte ros end Tuu!g, but was unable to cross the river. A troop of the Fourth Caval ry charged along the west bank of the river, routing the enemy. Capt. Fred Wheeler and Privates Ernest Wilcox. Michael Good. George Perkins ami Horace Smith of the troop were wound ed and Private Samuel Jones was kill ed. A battalion of the Twenty-fourth Oregon Infantry later crossed the river and again attacked the town of Paslg. The entire brigade was slightly advanc ed from the position It held last night, but met with stubborn opposition. Major Grant, with a gunboat, has been ordered to destroy the shipping on Laguna de Bay. Telegraph communications with the front Is constantly maintained. The rebels' avenue of communication north and south Is now closed, the American cordon stretching over a mile from the river rebels are In Tagulg. At seven o'clock in the morning, hearing the Insurgents' bugles sound ing, Scott's battery dropped three shrapnel shells Into the wood on the left of the Paslg church. No reply was made and at 7.45 the Twenty-second regular Infantry advanced until they encountered a number of volleys. This fire was returned with interest. The line then wheeled toward Pateros In the followlr.7 order: The Oregon volunteers, the Twentieth regulars, tne Washington volunteers, a cavalry de tachment, the Twenty-second regulars, and reserve artillery. The troops fol lowed the roads, while the gunboats Ceste and Leguna do Bay assisted In suppressing the fire on the left flank. Three rebel canoes were captured on the river. .

The attention of Adjutant General Corbln was callel to a statement published In some of the newspapers that the war department would construct the section of the army reorganization act regard ing lUjuor traffic at army posts so as to permit the employment of a civilian by the po.it exchange to sell Intoxicat ing rfrir.k.'. "There Is Absolutely no truth In the story," he doelnred with emphasis. "Moreover, there is a very widespread error in the minds of the people as to what rms been done heretofore. We have always respected the domestic liquor lav.-s of the state In which a post Is situated, even though the post Itself Is a government reservation. If the state had a prohibitory law, for exam ple, wo forbade the sale of llo.uors on the reservation. Now comes along this clause In the army reorganisation act, and we shall shut off oil of them." "But there writers say that the new law Is defective, and that It Is capable of a very liberal construction." "I don't care anything abo;it that." replied General Corbln. "Th plain In tent and spirit of the law Is that intox icants shall not be sold on a military reservation, and If I hnve anything to say about It there shnll be no 'monkey ing' with "liberal constructions' or oth er forms of evasion. It Is our business to see that the laws are enforced In their spirit as well as their lettetr, and that ends it." As the adjutant general Is the officer within whose Jurisdiction all such sub Jects fall, that does seem to end the matter. Agulnaldo's Spanish Captives. Washington, D. C Marcn 15. Gener al Otis In forbidding further negotla tlons between the Spanish at Manila and the insurgents, touching the sur render of the Spanish prisoners held by the latter, acted upon his own au thority. The government, however, will sup port him to the extreme In any action he may take. When the protocol was signed last August the United States undertook to secure the release of the prisoners, but simply through the suppression of the Insurrection. As the United States campaign in the Philippines is being conducted with all the energy possible and as the release of the prisoners de pend upon the issue of that campaign, there can be no complaint of failure on the part of America to meet its obligations. If the Spanish minister of foreign af fairs feels called upon to address him self respecting this subject to the state department, directly or Indirectly, he undoubtedly will be informed that General Otis must be sustained, though reassured as to the Intention of the United States to use all proper efforts to carry out its undertaking. To hxpel Indian Nlater. Baltimore, Md., March 15. Five sis ters of the American Order of the Sa cred Heart have .according to a dis patch from Plnar del Hio, been ordered away from Cuba by Archbishop Cha pelle, the papal representative recently appointed to Investigate the affairs of the Kotnun Catholic church In that Is land. The news was cabled to General James O'lMrne of New York, who Is now In Baltimore. The message came rom liev. J. M. Craft, an Indian mis lonary prk-st. who foundil the Amer lean order of the sisters and who went to Cuba last November with the five nuns, who are all the daughters of In dian chiefs. The cablegram, which came In Latin, was thus translated by General O'Belrne: 'Archbishop Chapelle orders us to go away from here on account of the old hatred against the (Indian) sisters, have written you about It." 'Mr. Craft's reference to the old ha tred against the Indian sisters means Just this," said the general. "The order s purely American and was establish ed near Fort Pierre on the Dakota bor der about fix years ago. The Cahens- ley element In the church, or those who are In favor of the European Idea In the management of orders and church affairs, antagonized Mr. Craft's work In establishing this new order, and he met with much opposition.

Masked burglurs foced their way Into the house of Patrick Maloney, at West Susquehanna Monday night, and after tying Mrs. Maloney and her daughter with ropes, demanded that all of the money and valuables In the house be produced.

It is the un changeable policy of the administration to pursue the rebellious Filipino army in Luzon either until Its effectiveness is destroyed or until Agulnuldo la com pelled to sue for peace without condi tions. The attack begun by General Whea ton which resulted so successfully for the United States troops was the be ginning of a more determined cam paign which will be carried on with nut cessation until the authority of the United States In the Philippines shall be undisputed. The administration has no doubt whatever that It will be possible t crush the Insurgents very soon. The plan of vigorous campaign Just enter ed upon Is bound to be effective, in the opinion of the war department officers and it will not be long, they say, be fore the determined crowding of Agul naldo's army all along the line will In duce the enemy to accept General Otls's terms of unconditional surren der.

They claim that they are perfectly solvent by any practical test, but technically might be declared insolvent by an In surance commissioner, especially ow lng to the matter of reserves. The insurance commissioner, on the other hand, asserts that they should not be exempt from the rule applied to fraternal societies, which all, as he asserts, require careful watching, as Is proved by the fact that last year forty licenses of such societies were revoked. , We offer our en- A 1 a 1 lire siock at a great reduction from our former low prices to close out by March 25th.
