Made Both Directions.
Manilla, Nov. 18.—Company E of the
Ninth infantry, Capt. F. H. Shoeffel,
commanding, was attacked by fifty
bolomen and several insurgents armed
with riffes at a point six miles from
Taragnan, in the Island of Samar.
The insurgents tried to rush Amer-
icans, but failing to accomplish their
purpose, they quickly broke and scat-
tered. The men of the Ninth had a
corporal and a scout killed, while the
riflemen escaped.
Ten Hotchkiss rapid-fire guns will
be sent to the southern island's for
operation in the mountains.
Capt. Herman H. Hall of the Twenty-
Firse infantry, has been scouting for
several days at Batangas Province. He
had four separate engagements with
the insurgents there. Judging from
the firing on these occasions Capt. Hall
estimates the force of each band of
the rebels at from thirty to fifty. They
made no attempt to charge his party.
Capt. Hall’s scout resulted in the
Second vice-president—Mrs. T.
Latham, Memphis, Tenn.
Recording secretary—Mrs. John
Hickman, Nashville, Tenn.
Orange, Tex, Nov. 20.—Orange has,
after a second effort, secured the plum
that all east Texas and west Louisi-
ana have been trying to knock from
the bush ever since it was first inti-
mated that Dr. C. B. Forward had or-
ganized the C. B. Forward Reduction
company with a view to locating near
the Beaumont oil fields for the pur-
pose of refining and marketing Jeffer-
son county oil. At a late hour Mon-
day night the last dollar of the bonus
was secured and responsible capital-
ists of this city gave their personal
guarantee that the money would be
paid when the terms of agreement
previously signed were complied with,
and Mr. Sam Hains, local agent for
the Forward Reduction company, has
authorized by wire that 125 cars of
machinery and material have left the
factories in the east, billed to Orange.
The company has secured between
7000 and 8000 acres of land that fronts
three miles on Adams bayou, ten miles
away on Sabine river and nearly three
miles above the head of Sabine lake.
A vessel drawing forty feet can navi-
gate the Sabine river and the bayous
without the necessity of dredging a
spdaeful of dirt from the channel of
either of three streams. The lake is
shallow, and will require deepening,
but it is believed that the great saw-
mill interests, combined with friends
of the oil refinery, will bring the mat-
ter to the attention.
Heavy Loss.
Eufala, I. T., Nov. 18.—The two-story
hardware ana implement house of J.
Brundett burned. The estimated loss
on building and contents is $50,000,
with $23,000 insurance.
Boxing Stopped.
St. Louis, Mo., Nov. 18.—Chief
Kiely, on order of the board of police
commissioners, has issued orders pro-
hibiting prize fighting or boxing con-
tests in St. Louis. A fight scheduled
for Saturday night and one for to-night
were not permitted.
Lieut. Hobson will be stationed at
Charleston, S. C., during the exposition.

Washington, Nov. 18.—Capt Robert
H. Bruce of Mineola, Tex., formerly an
officer in Roosevelt’s Rough Rider regi-
an ent, will be made collector of cus-
toms at El Paso, Tex., to succeed Moses
Dillon. There is no doubt that Presi-
dent Roosevelt is going to take care
or every member of his Rough Rider
regiment if he possibly can find places
that they are competent to fill.
Capt. Bruce has been here for some
time at the request of the president,
who told him he wanted to do some-
• thing for him, and he was in earnest.
The president has been industriously
hunting for a place in which to locate
Capt. Bruce and finally has selected
the collector of customs office at El
Paso. Capt. Bruce was told by the
president to get his endorsements and
file them and he would appoint him to
the position. There is no doubt that
Capt. Bruce can get all the endorse-
ments necessary, nor any doubt that
President Roosevelt means what he
says.
"Baby Mine” Elected Him,
Isaac W. Van Shaick, who died re-
cently in Maryland at the age of 84,
was one of the most notable characters
that ever claimed Milwaukee as home,
and it was from that city that he was
twice elected to Congress, and he could
have gone oftener had he so desired.
"Baby Mine" was the song that elect-
ed him the time he ran for Congress’.
In the outer wards of the city—in the
thickly populated districts where the
Polish voters live—he visited the hum-
ble homes and dandled the children on
his knee, jollied the mothers and sang
"Baby Mine" to the babies, He sang
it on the floor of the Chamber of Com-
merce when trading was dull. Every-
where he went he was called upon for
his favorite song and never failed to
respond,
Fort Worth, Tex., Nov. 18.—Mrs.
Minie Barker Horning, national super-
intendent of the press department of
the W. C. T. U., Saturday reported that
the press star for 1901 had been won
by Texas, the press department of this
state under the guidance of Miss Fan-
nie L. Armstrong of Dallas chairman
of the press department of tht Texas
W. C. T. U., having secured the pub-
lication of more W. C. T. U. matter
in the newspaptrs of this state than
the press department of any other
state in proportion to the number of W.
C. T. U. workers.
As the banner for W. C. T. U. insti-
tutes was won by Indiana, and Mrs.
Hadley, the superintendent of that de-
partment hails from that state, she was
embarrassed not knowing how to pre-
sent the banned to herself. The an-
nouncement was made by President
Stevens, who proceeded to relieve Mrs.
Hadley of the embarrassment, by pre-
senting the banner to Mrs. Hadley for
the state of Indiana, saying that while
Mrs. Hadley would have preferred that
the banner had gone to another state,
justice compelled her to say that In-
diana richly deserved the banner.
Mrs. Mary H. Hunt of Massachu-
setts made a report on scientific tem-
perance instruction.
Mrs. McAlpine of San Luis Potosi,
Mtxico, spokt briefly about the work in
Mexico.
Col. Robert L. Owens of Muskogee,
I. T., next spoke and made a rousing
talk in favor of continuing prohibi-
tion in the Indian Territory. The gov-
ernment of the United States, recog-
nizing the fact that whisky makes a
madman of the Indian, makts it a
crime to take whisky into the Ter-
ritory
Mrs. Stella Jenkins, wife of the gov-
ernor of Oklahoma, next spoke-
“preached,” she called it.
She said she inherited her ability to
preach from her mother. “My husband
has acquired a reputation as William
the Silent—but his wife, never.” She
said that people thought when her hus-
band became governor that she would
quit preaching and would serve punch
or wine at receptions. But she said
she didn’t do anything of the sort.
During the afternoon Mrs. M. M. Al-
len of New York, superintendent of the
non-alcoholic medication department,
presented her report and she awarded
the palm to Texas for having accom-
plished the best results and done the
most work. The work in this depart-
ment in Texas is under the supervision
of Mrs. Lyttleton of Marshall.

tion because of the lack of a water-

Dallas, Tex., Nov. 20.—The directors
of the Texas State Reunion associa-
tion met in regular session, the meet-
ing being an executive one, Tuesday
afternoon at 4 o’clock at the Commer-
cial club rooms.
The question of the time of holding
the reunion coming up for reconsider-
ation, the directory was informed that
numerous appeals from commercial in-
terests in the different localities had
come, especially from camps of Sons
of Confederate Vetereans, asking that
the opening day of the reunion be set
back a week, namely from April 29
to April 22. The reason urged for
this change was that men in the vari-
ous commercial pursuits could not
leave their business, nor their em-
ployes, on the last and first days of
the month. Consequently, on motion
that the days do not be changed and
a substitute that they do be changed
from April 29 and 30 and May 1 and 2
to April 21, 22, 23, 24 and 25, a tie vote
resulted and the president casting the
vote in favor of April 22, 23, 24 and 25,
said he did so because he believed
that more interests would be conserv-
ed thereby than by holding the reun-
ion on April 29 and 30 and May 1 and
2.
Gen. W. L. Cabell,, commanding the
Transmississippi department, being
present, said he being one of the com-
manding generals upon whom the duty
of fixing the reunion days devolved,
that the change was entirely satisfac-
tory to him, and he would acquiesce
in it and have the days fixed as re-
quested.
It is interesting to note that the in-
habitants of the island of St. Kilda,
lying off the west coast of Scotland,
only have communications with the
mainland during three months of the
year, from the beginning of June to the
end of August. In these months it is
visited by excursion steamers perhaps
half a dozen times; for the rest of the
year its inhabitants know as much
about British affairs as do the Eski-
mos of the north. If King Edward
were to die tomorrow, or London be
burned down, they would learn of the
events for the first time next June.
But while unable to receive communi-
cations except during the period men-
tioned they have, a quaint seapost.
When they desire to communicate with
the mainland they put their letters,
with coins for postage, into a tin box
or a bottle, which is enclosed in a
roughly-shaped tiny boat, with the
words “Please open” cut on top, and
a bladder full of air attached. This
is thrown into the sea at certain tides,
and so carried to the Hebridean shores,
or mayhap to the coast of Norway.
The group of islands of which St.
Kilda is the chief, has an area of 4,000
sqveea miles. The climate is mild
