PRESCOTT, LINN COUNTY, KANSAS, FRIDAY, APRIL 12, 1901. NO. 15 The SWeet Girl Graduate. They are coming, men and brethren, Many hundred thousand strong They are pouring forth an army Exceeding wide and long. They are smiling, they are nodding.

And their plumes are waving high. As each maiden lifts her banner To the glorious shining sky. They are full of mighty wisdom, And the wortd their oyster is, Ihey have budded on the armor, And are ready now for biz. They are ready for the battle, And their war-cry fairly thrills; Some will sprout as full hedged lawyers, Some as mixers up of pills. They'll be filling all the places Filled by poor prosaic man; They'll be (miming all the options, Bossing ev'ry scheme and plan.

And the one nice way to stop them In their stalwart, onward stride Is to woo them and win them, And to make each one a bride! Exchange. Mantey Mentions. Crowded out Last Week. Mrs Hunter has built a summer kitchen. 4 Jim Wabrod visited Will Smight Sunday.

LUZON GOVERNMENT War Department to Have Contro, of Civil Branch, WILL BE ESTABLISHED JULY 1.

Piegident Will Ex rci.o Authority Over the Islands Through Secretary Root Governor Tsfta Power Will Mot he Curtailed. Washington, D. April 8. The news from Manila the establishment of civil government Is in accord with information already made public herehat the new Philippine government' will be established about July 1. Immediately upon the passage of the army appropriation bill the entire Spooner amendment was cabled to the Taft commission and the commission was directed to prepare a plan for the government of the islands in accordance with the law.

The plan has not yet been completed, but 'lit is expected to be about the time of the return of the commission to Manila, and It will be cabled here for approval or amendment. The olvll government proposed will not be very elaborate, but sufficient to meet the present requirements. One of the most interesting features is the question as to who will be in supreme authority under tne president. The law says that all military, civil and judicial powers necessary to govern the Philippine islands shall be vested in sudh person ana persons as the president shall direct. The lan guage has been eighed very carefully and the designation "person followed by persons is taken to mean that the president shall name some one to have supreme command under his own direction and that the persons shall bs those acting under that command.

Judge Taft, it is understood, Is to be the governor of the islands, but It will be necessary too have some one In Washington to act a.i the medium of communication between the president and the governor. There will be a great deal of business, with which the president can not burden himself, and some cabinet officer will be selected to (have Charge of the Philippines, as well as the other insular affairs. Authority over the islands probably will be exercised by the president through Secretary Root, as the secretary already is familiar with the government machinery of the islands. More than this, the law specifically asserts that military as well as civil and Judicial powers shall be exercised in Che islands, and it is not believed feasible to divide the responsibility, as for many years to come there must be joint and harmonious action by the civil and military authorities. There already has grown up In the war department since the Spanish war a division of insular affairs which has had in charge all matters pertaining to the civil operations, not only in the Philippines, but in Cuba.

At present. Lieutenant Colonel Edwards Is in charge of this division, and his familiarity with conditions In the Pilipplnes, he having spent a great deal of time there, makes him a valuable official. It is probable that if the Philippines be administered through the war department Colonel Edwards will continue in charge of the division. The fact that the actual control of the Islands will remain in the war department does not mean that Governor Taft will have his power curtailed. Necessarily the president will remain the court of last resort for everything relating to the islands, but the governor and his council will ex ercise the broadest authority and much that heretofore has been submitted to Washington for determination by the military governor general and the Taft commission is expected to be settled, by the governor, council and the executive assembly, should one bi thought necessary.

The general belief expressed here is that the governor and council will be about all tie government necessary. Dr. officer, was in business.

The usefulness of the stripes upon the tiger is easily explained, since they enable him to hide among the coarse grass of the jungle. But how are we to account for the markings of the zebra, who is the pre-eminent specialist in stripes? A full answer would require a whole article, for It Involves one of the most complex and interesting paradoxes in natural history. To put the matter as briefly as possible, one must make two statements, which at first sight appear to be flatly contradictory. First, the zebra Is striped because It Is to his interest to be conspicuous. Secondly, he is striped because it isjq his Interest to be invisible.

Strangely enough, not only are both these statements strictly true, but one may further say that no other kind of coloration would protect the zebra so well. During the daytime zebras usually graze In small herds among the stunted trees and bushes of the Afri- 4 can uplands. They do not place sentinels to watch against their foes, like the wild sheep and the chamois, because, usually, there is no command ing spot available where a sentinel could overlook the surrounding country. Their method consists in each member of the band keeping an eye upon the movement of his fellows as well at keeping a sharp lookout for himself, If a prowling leopard approaches the herd, one or other of the zebras Is sure to perceive the danger, and the others take warning by observing hi start of alarm. Hence it will be seen that the more conspicuous each member of the band is the more readily do his warning movements catch th eyes of his fellows who at once take the hint and save themselves from being eaten by a good use of their legs.

It is at night that the zebra specially desires to be Invisible. Most African beasts have to travel far for water, and are obliged to slake their thirst during tne darkness at spot where' lions and other enemies afe in the habit of lying in ambush. Now if has been found that, in the twilight, the dark and light bands of the zebra become indistinguishable, being blurred into a neutral tint which blend wonderfully with that of surrounding objects. This is so markedly the case that a bunted has stated that he has been near a zebra in the twilight as actually to feel his breath, yet was quite un-able to perceive his form. If th zebra were piebald, like a circus horse Instead of brtng covered with narrow stripe, he would be sufficiently conspicuous to his friends In the daytime: yet, obviously, such mattings would not protect him at night, for the contrasted colors would still be plainly visible to his foes.

Hence we see that It is literally trot that the ezbra Is striped, not only because he 3nts to be seen, but ais because he does not want to be seen. Rev. iVm. Woods, of Ft. Scott, oloseJ a tew evenings meetings at the Baptist church Thursday night, and left for his appointment near Mapleton.

Dr. ONeil with Albert Kennison immediately hurried to the place only to find the report too true. Mr. Kennison had started for Mound City, accompanied by Mrs, Baker, to attend court, and without warning was suddenly stricken to death. While he had not considered himself an invalid, yet his health had not been the best for several years.

The funeral was held in the M. E. church on Wednesday afternoon conducted by the pastor, Rev. J. V.

Robinson, and Rev. Wra. Rut-ledge, who is an old and valued friend. Six of Faiher Kennisons Company were in attendance at the funeral, among whom were three commissioned officers, and though they had faeed death together on many a battlefield, it was permitted them to pay the last tribute of re Ispect among the quiet, peacefu gcene8 0f the home.
