But it must not be a campaign of temporizing, it must beaggiessive and persistent, from the start. There must be no let up and no opportunity must be given the rebels once routed to recovir. The Filipiuos are no mutch lor Americans on the battlttield. In Ole instance, at Galoocaa, where the Kansas troops were engaged, we lost two men while i peisonally collated 112 uaad Filipinos. Thu is, «f course, not a fair comparison, lot the Americans are certainly as Bauch superior under arms than Filipinos as six to one. \The seat of all the trouble at this time is the Filipino junta at Hong Kong.

It assures them of all kinds of outside support without foundation and is this manner keeps their spiiita alive.

It. reunion held in tlie city jail yesterday and veterans of the civil war went buck over hatilefields and sal uttuiu by camp tires tu the south, says t he Butte Miner of the 17th. The crowd was small, but the discussions brought out a story about a treasure that wu- bidden during a tight. The reunion was held by Jailer Boy le and an old man who happened to drop inlo the lockup office on business. The old man proved to he.au old soldier, and it developed is he talked w iili the jailer that both men had iought at Kelly’s Fold atm on the liappahamick The fact led lo a general diseusiou of war topics. Jailer Boyle leaned hack hi his office chair ami blew tome cigar aiuoke lulu llie air and laid bis comrade about a hidden treasure on the bultlelield at Kelly's Ford. \Not far from the Uuppanock.’ began the jailer,” \was located tlic lesidencc ol a southerner. During the light at Killy’s Ford a German of the name of Diudimier amt my self came upon the house. It was deserted save by a lew colored ser vants.

When the light ing was over we had no chance to get hack to the bag of jewelry. Dindinger w as finally taken prisoner and died in Audirsoiivdlc prison. 1 never gut an oppm utility to go back ti the sput where the valuables were hidden a'ml 1 have no i oulil they are there to this day.” * Gould you go now to the place where the bag of jewelry was hid lien?” queued .Mr. Boyle’s Iriend. \Certainly replied the jailer. \1 could go straight to die spot. Dindinger died a good many y eaia ago, and 1 am quite sure that 1 am the only limn living who knows where that jewelry was bidden It was pul away so securely that there is no likelihood ibai anyone lias found it. The years that have gone by sinee 1 was at Kelly’s Ford, however, have not iiil.eilered with my recollection ol Dindinger and the place where lie put away the valuables which belonged to those southerners.” The comrade who bad listened to Mr. Boyle’s story, accustomed as he is to the remarkable tales which pertain to the civil war. was deeply interested. He threw hits hind for ward ami then looked up at ibe jailer, \Vou have been all over Colorado, New Mexico aud Alizoua looking for gold and silver,” be linally ventured in addressing the jailer. \Vou came here lo Butte and continued as a miner and during all these yeais y ou spent as a pros pector there lay down in old Vir giuia a sack of jewels winch yon might have dug up. Curious what men do in this world. Giael 1 met you here this afternoon, Mr. Boy le, but 1 would like to meet yon at Kelly’s Ford. We might dig up that bag of jewelry and have a pleasant time on the field where me once fought an enemy.” With this the old man walked out of the jail and the reunion of Tftare Will ft* »o Cnango. City;of Mexico, Out. li.—Hou, Edwin H. Terrell of Texas, ex- United States-minister to Belgium, is here. He says that the results of the Spanish war will be sustained by the people of the United States, adding: “And that means the acqui sition of the colonies and the gen eral approval of the atluiiuistratiun of President McKinley, who has shown himself to be not only a pat riotic president, but a very able aud Far seeing statesman.

One night a farmer was aroused from bis sleep by bearing an unusual noise about the (dace. He got quickly out of bed, and, after list cuing attentively, disci vered lliat some people on side iveie e-uuing a bole through the door elo.se to ibe bolt by which it was held. It did not inquire any great amount of detective talent to guess the object of the operation, aud the best way to foil it was suggested by a thong of raw hide with a loop iu it, w hich iitiug from a hook on tlm insi.lv- of the door. Noiselessly unimvmg the thong, be slipped the end of it through the loop, and there be stood, armed with au impromptu lasso, ready for action, It was au anxious time while the farmer stood watching the hole in tho door grow ii g larger and larger, until at last it was of sufficient sisu to effect the purpose lor which it was made. The supremo nuiuieiil arrived, and a band was inserted stealthily, not only through the hole, but also tliiougb the loop of the little lasso w hich bung skilfully around it. With a sudden jerk the loop was lightened around the wrist, the hand was dragged iu as tar as ilia aperture would allow and the thong was se curely fasted lo the hook ou the back ol tbo door. The robber was perfectly helpless. Iliseoi.ipanioiis came to bis aid, and having ineffect ually dragged at the imprisoned aim till they were tired, gave up llie sn uggle and prepared todepait. But they were prudent men, and it occurred to them that, to save him sell, their eorurade might betray them. Dead men, they said, tell no tales, so they killed him on the spot and van away. The Inopportune Man. The following from the New Or leans Times-Dcmocrat illustrates the i-haru -a ristics of persons one is coniiniiully meeting. --There goes a man,” said a Canal -lo 11 philosoplif-r, “ who lias made a luiliue of life in spite of exccp- lim.al equipment for success, lie lei- no bad Laiiils, and 1 couldn’t name a man in New Orleans who possesses a kindlier disposition, yet be is continually out of job and is studiously avoided by everybody who knows him. The mysterious part of it is that nobody can tell you just why, aud the poor fellow doesn’t understand it himself. He is beginning to think that somebody has worked a rabbit’s foot on him, •OMract.

He said: ‘Bv the way, the latter Scarcely a day passes that a new Mae for copper is not found. Tho latest of any considerable import ance was discovered by tbe manage ment of a Massachusetts railroad. Tbe discovery consists iu the fact that thin sheets of copper is not oi.ly better thaw paint as, a covering for freight cars, but also that it i« cheaper iu the long ruu. Tbe Fitchburg railroad iu that state is using the sheets and, probably, many others may eventually use them instead of paint. The present high price of the metal may limit lis application m that direction un til its production exceeds the de mand, but that it will thus lie used admits of lit tie doubt. Ordinarily, of course, it is con sidered good business iuV one to get all he can l'oi his goods, That, is quite natural. Just now copper producers could advance the price of tbe metal to 2H cents or over aud then lind ready sales lor their out put. But (bo advice of entail) level-headed mine owners who be lieve that a grasping, uvurieiotls pol icy would not only injure their bus iness, but that of trade in general, seems to have prevailed and copper stands at about 18.1 without any noticeable rising tem em-y. It is said that copper can now be mined, smelled and maiketed ftp- from 5 to U cents per pound, accord mg to the locution of the. mine ami tbe lacililics for bundling its ore. Kay the average cost is 7.1 cents a pound it will be seen that the mar gin lor piolil is large enough to sat isfy all 1ml the most avaricious. There was a tini:', however, in Butte —about 1881 2, when the cost of producing roiqior equalled its piar- kel price, and mine owners simply exchanged an old do’bir for a new one. Tbe MeaderviUe works was shut down about that time for that reason. Gomlitione ^re different now and the. coppef^lniiie owners are having their inning. Mr. John Stanton, the president of several large copper corporations, is credit ed will) saying that it would he bet ter lor all concerned if the price of copper could be maintained about Hi cents a pound. But as every commodity is considered worth what it will bring in the market it does not appear that any fixed price of copper can be maintained.—Western Mining Worl 1. WHERE T he fun cam e in . Third Party Was the One Who E«. Joyed It Most. Tbe small boy who pins a paj>er to the schoolmaster’* coat tail im agines that he has achieved a mas terpiece of humor. But he is not iu a position to reap the fruits of his perilous adventure. It’s a fearful ami precarious joy w hieh he feels. What if the schoolmaster should turn around? That would be a tragedy. , Now, neither tbe small boy nor the schoolmaster gets the full flavor of humor. But suppose at that moment an old friend of the school master happens to look in at the door.
