UP THE CREEK.
A pleasant visit at Benton brought
us in contact with J no. G. McHenry.
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

Boyd's popularity will undoubtedly
insure him success in his old business

Orangeville is endowed with an ele

to this community. It is elegantly
furnished with a beautiful mounted

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;

is a commodious home for a few

Wm. Unangst is in a very dilapi

than a week ago with his old rheuma

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

The

Washington, D. C, March IS. 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.

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.

Agulnaldo Mast Surrender.
Washington, March 15. 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

The Masons and Odd Fellows are now
the only large fraternal organizations
In the state not making returns. They
claim that they are perfectly solvent

might be declared insolvent by an In

The insurance commissioner, on the
other hand, asserts that they should
not be exempt from the rule applied
