THE COURIER, ALGONA, IOWA, FRIDAY MORNING, JUNE 28. 1899. BY HINOHON SUBSCRIPTION KATES: One copy, one year, In atlvnnco H.fiO One copy, six monUis 75 One copy, tliroo inontlis fiO THE PRESIDENT'S WAH POLICY IS CONDEMNED. Smith D. Fry, the Washington cor respondent of the Dos Molnos Regis tor, is also one of the Washington correspondents of the Philadelphia Times.

In his latter capacity, he contributes to the Times of June 15 the following, over his signature. It will be noted that the views expressed are somewhat at variance from those expressed through the columns of the Register: "Washington, June Telegram to the or not the president is counting the cost of the conquest of Luzon, it may be said that others in high oflicial places aredoingso. Genera! Otis, with 22,000 men, began an aggressive- warfare on February 5, near Manila, drove the insurgents many miles into the interior, and finally returned to Manila on June 10, with his forces depleted and his army disheartened. He is now defending Manila with the aid of the navy. "In this campaign of four months, 241 men were killed and 1,175 were wounded.

The total causualties were 3,416. The list of sick soldiers and those dying from disease has not yet been obtained, except approximately. Upwards of 3,000 men have been disabled by disease, and about 500 have died of disease. "It was this afternoon estimated that the cost of the campaign has been $1,000,000 each day, so that the total cost has been 'approximately $120,000,000: Thus it appears that General Otis marched up the hill and then marched down again, at terrible cost in blood and treasure, and accomplished nothing, save to achieve his own beleaguerment and leave the insurgents masters of the greater portion of the island. The plain fact of the matter is that the situation of the American forces on the inland of Luzon is deplorable, and the condition of the soldiers is pitiable.

The campaign of General Otis has ended in failure. The people of the country are at least awakening to the fact well known in the inner circles at Washington, that 'something is That is all the people know at present. Back of this condition, which is gradually permeating the public mind, there are facts most gross, conditions most reprehensible and plots well nigh as riamable as high treason. And yet, up to date, the people unsuspectingly trust their public servants, and "praise adulation the head of the administrfa- tion. "The facts lines may startle the casual eader.

Nevertheless, they are craven upon the highest authority the writer can sain an official who has participated in many movements ncLwho' has been obliged to have oowledge of current events. "President McKinley has no competent military advisers. The war has been managed by men incompetent to manage it, and some of them are unworthy of high places. President McKinley's advisers have been a secretary of war who never conducted a military campaign, and whose dishonorable dismissal from the army svas' recommended by Generals Ouster, Merritt and Sheridan; an assistant secretary of war who is honorable and upright, but without military experience; and an adjutant general who was officially declared in the civil war to be 'unflt to command brave "Blunders piled upon blunders until our American forces in the island of Luzon are in a deplorable situation and pitiable condition. Therefore it is that our ranks are being depleted by disease and decimated by death.

Therefore it is that sufficient reinforcements have not been sent, and svlll not be sent. The shameful warfare will be continued for another year, whether or not for political purposes each citizen must judge for himself. "The authority of American forces in tho Philippine islands is being contested by upwards of 30,000 troops thoroughly acclimated and believing in their independence. Moreover, there are approximately half a million soldiers in the Philippine islands now preparing for offensive operations. The Filipinos are working their farms for eight consecutive days and then systematically drilling under good officers for two days.

Thus two days out uf every ten are devoted to drilling. There will soon be a volunteer Filipino force which may be unconquerable. Against this military front the president has decided to send two negro regiments of regulars. Their lives are also to be needlessly sacrificed. "When the war with Spain began and the president asked for 200,000 volunteers, upwards of 1,250,000 men offered their services.

Today it is regarded as doubtful if the president could secure the voluntary enlistment of 35,000 men authorized by the makeshift army reorganization bill. Volunteers for service in the Philippines have not been called for, because the administration realizes that volunteers would not respond under existing conditions. "From the beginning of the war with Spain to the present the military advice of our foremost soldier has been asked but once aud that was on July 3, when the president turned in terror to General Miles and begged him to save Shatter's defeated army. Thus it happens that while General Miles is within easy access of the president and ever ready to serve his country, his splendid abilities are ignored, and the country is deprived of its best military skill. "Concerning the recent rumor that General Miles will be sent to the Philippines, one of the general's best friends said to-day: 'General Miles will go wherever he is ordered.

He has always been a soldier, and will always be a soldier, and hence he will obey orders. But, if he goes to Manila, he will go there knowing that there is left behind him in Washington a man who has the confidence of the president, and who would be liable to resort to every ruse to destroy General Miles, in the vainj belief that he might rise when Miles! would fall, it is the man who sent a Three Pretty Weddings the Record secret telegram to General Garretson on the Yale, in July, 1803, telling him to sail at once, a telegram intended to prevent General Miles from reaching Santiago on that fast cruiser, when the general was acting under orders from the president and hastening to save human life and win victory for HAPPY JUNE BRIDES. For This Week, Mr. J. J.

Kynn Weds Miss Zoa the SMITH D. FHY." There is an unconfirmed rumor from the that Russia is favorable to the reestablishment of the kingdom of Poland. It seems strange that Russia would be willing to jrlvc up any territory, but it also seemed strange that she should propose a peace conference. If she really Ls favorable to the reestablishment of Poland there may be good politics in the desire as well as sentiments of justice. Poland would be a buffer state between her and Germany and Austria, and it would be a guarantee to the powers that Russia had ceased to have any designs on Turkey, which would relieve her from hostile suspicion and allow her to develop her northern Asiatic empire without fear or aggression on the west.

But whatever may be her design it is not likely that the other despoilers of Poland, Germany and Austria, will loosen their grip on that gallant but unfortunate country. Kclnn YVnrtmnu Wednesday Morning'. We are in receipt of a marked copy of the Oskaloosa Journal which brings out for the democratic nomination for governor Mr. A. C.

Daly of Marshalltown. We have heard before of Mr. Daly as an excellent man, and have no doubt of his worth and fitness for the office, but we are first for Fred White if he will make the run. His run two years ago proved that he was stronger than his party. If Fred White will take the nomination he has the best claim to it.

The republicans of Polk county luvv'e renominatecl Judge Carr for the legislature. HANNA Boss The Kossuth and Xht the Ohio Records lift Sentiments. The CouiUEjf is favored svith an advance of the Lu Verne News the proceedings of t.b.a-TtffSubiiean caucus of LuVerue and the ringing resolutions passed thereat. As the COURIER is the exponent of fair play, free speech, equal rights to all and special privileges to none, it gives publication to the proceedings of Mr. Hanna's Lu Verne caucus.

It is pleased to note that Mr. Hanna has confidence in its choice among republican candidates, Stitxel Xerxes Way. Moved and seconded that Geo. W. Hannu, Geo.

Lacy and I. P. Harrison act as committee on resolutions. Carried. Committee on resolutions then presented the following for adoption: the Republicans of JJuVorno township In caucus assembled do heartily endorse the administration of President McKinley.

"We believe in expansion to the extent at least that the state of Iowa establish a Normal school In Kcssuth county, and elect the Hon. J. P. Doiliver U. S.

senator. "We know of no one better calculated or more willing to secure these ends than the Hou. A. A. Branson, who is our first choice for Representative.

We also have great faith In Stltxel Xerxes Way aud Hon. Samuel Maync. "We arc opposed to A. D. Clarke for State Senator.

First, because Kossuth county is not entitled to the olllce. Second, ljecau.se he made us a very 'weak member' of the legls luture in 1SS8, aud we ure very certain that ho would now make us a sorry senator. Third, because the Dos Moines Valley News was born for the purpose of purifying Kossuth county politics and wiping such political bosses from the face of the earth and we feel that its mission will not be complete so long as he is in politics. "We have no use for Gardner Cuwles or any of A. D.

Clarke's lieutenants for repj-osentn- live. "We instruct our delegates to the county convention to use every means in their power to nominate such candidates for the above offices as will bo acceptable to the people of this part of the couuty and make it unnecessary for us to 'skin their hides over thcii heads' at election us wo were forced to do in Ifi'JV."

Merriam. i mi A. Lying Reporter. The LuVerne Kews must be deeply interested in St. Joe affairs to go so far and report that the members of the St.

Joe club are given to drinking whiskey and pop together. It is true that the priest was in the club room, but it is not true that whiskey was drank there. The reporter for the LuVerne News is the biggest liar in Kossuth county. The undersigned was present at the time and claims to be able to distinguish between whiskey and pop. Besides it is a good deal better if every man tends to his own business, and be a good Christian.

Most of the settlers have been here from ten to twenty years and they are getting along nicely and they do not need a guardian to watch over them. M. An Attractive Town. Titonka Topic: It would be a di Hi- cult matter to find a prettier town than Algona. The numerous shade trees, the hills and the river together with the many beautiful residences make it a most attractive place.

There are many buildings now under process of erection and a general air of prosperity prevades everywhere. It gives the COUUIKU great pleasure to announce the marriage of its, good friend, Mr. J. J. Ryan, to one ol Algona's most charming and talented young ladies, Miss Zoa Edna Wartman.

The happy event occurred Wednesday morning at 10:30 o'clock, at the residence of the bride's mother, the ceremony being performed by Father Halpin, of the Catholic church, in the presence of a few near friends and relatives of contracting parties. After the ceremony an excellent breakfast was served by Misses Helen Starr, Mary McEnroe and Alice Reed. Miss Alice Wright assisted by Frank Wartman furnished the music. The home was exquisitely decorated under the supervision of Misses Louise McCoy, Mary McEnroe and Mrs. Lennette Butler.

The parlor decorations were green and white. Ferns, palms and roses adding beauty to the scene, and the dining room was banked with roses and potted plants. Miss Alice Wright executed the Wagner wedding march on the piano, as the bridal couple preceded by two sweet little flower girls. Zada Dingley and Muriel Robinson, took their places beneath a canopy of flowers, where the impressive ceremony was performed. The b.ride was attired in a handsome gown of cream silk bolting cloth made over white silk, trimmed in chiffon, and carried pink roses.

The groom look his best and wore a neat fitting suit of black. The bride is too well known in Algona social circles to need any extended words of praise from the Coumisii. She is a musician of exceptional ability and possesses qualities that are sure to make her a social favorite in her new home at Fort Dodge. Of the groom we will say that no more popular young man ever came to Algona. To know him is to like him.

He has always been popular in social, business and political circles, and by his natural business ability, honesty and perseverance has accumulated a fortune. He served Webster county as county treasurer for four years, and at one time ran for congress against the Hon. J. P. Deliver and made great inroads upon the overwhelmingly large republican majority in the district.

He is the owner of the Eureka gate factory of Chicago, an officer of the Midland Life Insurance Association of Fort Dodge, part owner of the Fort Dodge Post, and has interests in other Fort Dodge business enterprises besides owning several hundred acres of Northwest Iowa land. Mr. and Mrs. Ryan start upon life's journey under the most auspicious and favorable circumstances, and their friends in Algona, and they are many, wish them untold happiness. The happy couple took the 1:55 train for Duiuth where they will spend a couple of weeks before returning to Fort Dodge, their future home.

The bride's traveling suit was a gray cloth skirt, jacket lined with white satin and blue silk shirt waist, The relatives from abroad who attended the wedding were F. A. Wartman of Des Moines, Mrs. John Eastman of Barnum, M. J.

and E. P. Ryan of Fort Dodge, and Miss Alice Wright of Fort Dodge. Many beautiful and expensive presents svere tendered the bride and groom by admiring friends here and elsewhere. lliiudall-Crabtrce.

The weddingof Miss Lillian Randall and Walter J. Crabtree was celebrated Tuesday evening at six o'clock at the residence of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. M. F.

Randall, on Call street. The house was tastefully appointed for the occasion with beautiful lloral decorations, The ceremony was performed in the spacious bay window which was banked with syrarigos, ferns and roses, thus being converted into a beautiful and unique bower. The wedding march was played by Mr. Chas. Crammond on the piano.

Dr. F. E. Day, of the Methodist Episcopal church, was the officiating clergyman. The bride was gowned in white persian lawn and carried pink roses.

The groom wore the cou- ventional black. After the ceremony i and extending of congratulations all I repaired to the dining room to partake i of a gumptious wedding feast. The bride is one of Algona's youug ladies, and "has a host of young friends who love and admire her. She graduated last year from the Algona high school with high honors. The groom is one of our best and successful young business men and is rioted for his good habits and honesty.

He is a brother of Mrs. Lerqy Barton, and is associated with Mr. Barton in business. The happy couple took the 7:54 train over the Northwestern for Chicago where they will visit for a few weeks. A large number of their young frieuds met them at the depot and with a liberal supply of rice and old shoes gave them a send-off that they will not soon forget.

Upon their return to Algona they will go to housekeeping in the S. H. Petti bone residence. They have the best wishes of a large circle of friends for their future happiness and prosperity. The guests present from abroad were Mrs.

J. R. Crabtree of Chicago, mother of the groom, Mr. and Mrs. Sfhrleborof West Benrl, Miss Lolln Randall ol'Chicago, and Editor Randall of WhiUemore.

(Mlbert-lk'iiscliotcr. At the Episcopal church in this city Wednesday afternoon occurred the marriage of Miss Laura D. Gilbert and George Benschoter. Dr. Jackson of Emmetsbinv officiated.

After the ceremony at the church the bridal party repaired the home of the bride's parents in Plum Creek, where a reception was held. The bride is one of Kossuth's most attractive and good young ladies, and is highly esteemed by all who know her for her many virtues. The groom is an excellent young man, of good habits, industrious and well worthy of the bride he has won. They commence housekeeping at once "on the tine farm that the groom owns in Plum Creek, with the well wishes of all their friends. May they ever prosper, and find only sunshine upon life's journey, is the wish of the COUUIKU.

Other Wedding Notes. The Whittemore Champion is not to be out-done by the Titonka Topic. Miss Graham, the editor of the Topic, and Will Salisbury are to be married at Britt next Wednesday, and on the same day and at about the same hour Jay E. Randall, the editor of the Champion, is to be married to Miss Blanche Barrett at Rock Rapids. Mr.

Randall and bride will go with the National Editorial excursion party which leaves Chicago, June 30, for the Pacific coast, for their wedding trip. The COUUIEU extends congratulations in advance. W. B. Metcalf, the electric light expert, caught the marriage fever in Algona, and went down to Parkersville last Saturday and married Miss Etta Sehultz.

The genial court reporter, Matt Grier, was married at Emmetsburg Tuesday to a Miss Edith A. Bm't. ANOTHER SUICIDE. A 15-Year Old Son of August Johnson Hangs Himself. August Johnson is a farmer who lives two miles east and a half a mile south of Algona.

He has or had three sons, the oldest of whom, Charley, was about fifteen years of age, also two or three daughters. On Tuesday last Charley was sent to the field to hoe corn or do some such work, and Mr. Johnson went to work on another part of the farm with the team. At noon when they assembled for dinner Charley was missing, and on searching for him they found him hanging from a rafter in the loft of the barn. How long he had been hanging there no one could tell, but he was stiff in death when found.

He had taken a strap out of an old harness which he used as a rope. The cause of his rash act is entirely inexplicable. There had been no trouble between him and his or any member of the family. He was a quiet, silent boy. His father now thinks that he was a little more so during the last few days before his death, and that he looked a little pale.

Corner Morse held an inquest on the body but no additional facts of note were brought out. It is strange that a boy of fifteen for whom life should appear bright and happy would think of suicide. It seems that cases of self destruction is becoming more frequent all the time. Why is it? i A GOOD THING. A Kossuth County Boy's IS'ew Invention Tli at Merits Attention.

Julius Thotiberg, a young man who works for John McDonald of Union township, and who has shown remarkable ingenuity by inventing several interesting contrivances, lias now a devise for lifting a hay rack from a wagon or sleiirh. Lifting those heavy racks on and off a wagon is a difficult and trying task, but by his simple and cheap device it can be done wholly by horse power and without the least bother. A man stands on his wagon and drives between two posts, and the rack is lifted up so that the rest of the vehicle -may pass pass from under. And it may be put on again by backing the wagon under the rack and letting the rack down into place. A ten year old boy can do the whole business.

The device is on exhibition west of the court house, on the north side of Mr. Johnson's shops, and between two arid four o'clock tomorrow Mr. McDonald will be there with his team aqd rack and show how the thing works. Go and see it. Mr.

Thonberg lias made application for a patent on the machine. LU VERNE PICNIC. It Was it Sporty AiTair with Tick- pockets and a Wrestling- Match. There was a big day at LuVerne last week. The occasion was a Woodmen picnic, and the way they picked and nicked was a caution.

Two 1'el- lows picked a number of pockets, and I one of them was caught after an ex- 1 citing chase, and put into the cala- I boose. But he did not stay there long. While the games were going on he was working a game to get out and succeeded and sloped for parts unknown. They had a wrestling match between two professionals that lasted three hours. The principals were stripped to the waist and they tugged and tussled aud rolled in the dust which was turned into mud by their sweat.

Three falls were wrestled, and after each bout the athletes had to be carried oil and rubbed down with sponges and recuperated with stimulants. Their backs and sides were scared and bleeding from the gravel on which they rolled and slid. it was a great day for LuVerne. For Kent. A good residence property for rent.

But when.he came for the keg what was his chargin on finding it gone. Some guzzlers had opened the window and taken it. The neighbors came and shared in the disappointment.
