i 001 THE COURIER, ALGONA, IOWA, FRIDAY MORNING, JUNE 23, 1899. Algona Courier, BY HINOHON FINNELL. SUBSCRIPTION RATES: One six months One copy, one year, in One copy, three 50 THE PRESIDENT'S WAR POLICY IS CONDEMNED. Smith D. Fry, the Washington correspondent of the Des Molnes Register, is also one of the Washington correspondents of the Philadelphia Times.

In his latter capacity, he contributes to the Times of June the following, over his signature. It will be noted that the views expressed are somewhat at variance from those expressed througb the columns of the Register: "Washington, June Telegram to the or of not the conquest president of is counting it the cost the Luzon, may said that others in high official places arc doing so. General Otis, with 22. 000 men, began an aggressive. warfare on February 5, near Manila, drove the insurgents many miles into interior, and finally returned to Manila on June 10, with his forces depleted and his army disheartened.

Ile is now defending the aid of the navy. "In this campaign of four mouths, 241 men were killed and 1,175 were wounded. The total casualties were 1,416. The list of sick soldiers and those dying from disease has not 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 campaigo 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 tion insurgents of the island. masters of The the greater fact por: plain of the matter is that the situation of the American forces on the island 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 koown 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 wind, there are facts most gross, conditions most reprehensible and plots well nigh as damable as the high treason.

And yet, up to date, people unsuspectingly trust their public servants, and praise with adulation the head of the administration. "The facts condensed in these lines may startle the casual reader. Nevertheless, they are upon the highest authority the writer can gain access-nymely, an official has participated in many movements and who has been obliged to have of current events. "President McKinley has no competent military advisers. The been managed by men incompetent to manage it, and some of then 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 was' recommended by Generals Custer, 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 'undt to command brave "Blunders piled upon blunders until our American forces in the island of Luzon are in a deplorable situation is and that pitiable condition. Therefore it our ranks are being depleted by disease and decimated by death. Therefore it is that sufficient reinforcements have not been sent, and will not be sent. The shameful warfare will be continued for another year, whether or not for political pur. poses each citizen must judge for himself.

"The authority of American forces in the 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 of 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 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 haye 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 I advice of our foremost soldier has. been asked but once and that was on July 3, 1898, a when the president turned terror to General Miles begged bim to save Shafter'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: 16 '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, it be goes to Manila, he will go there knowing that there is left behind him in confidence Washington of a man who has the president, and the would be liable to resort to every ruse to destroy General Miles, in the vain belief that he might risen when Miles! secret telegram sothe General Garretson: would fall. It who sent a on the Yale, in July, 1898, telling bim 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 the SMITH D. There is an unconfirmed rumor from the Hague that Russia is fayorable to the reestablishment of the kingdom of Poland. It seems strange that Russia would be willing to give up any territory, but it also scemed strange that she should propose a peace conference.

It she really is 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 guarantce 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. 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 110 doubt of his worth and fitness for the ottice, but we are first for Fred White if he will wake the run.

His run two years ago proved that he was stronger than his party. It Fred White will take the nomination he has the best claim to it. The republicans of Polk county have renominated Judge Carr for the legislature. HANNA SPEAKS. The Kossuth and Not the Ohio Boss Records lids Sentiments.

The COURIER is favored with an advance proof sheet of the Lu Verne News containing the proceedings of the republican caucus of Lu Verne 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, Stitzel Xerxes Way.

A Lying Reporter. The LuVerne News 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 Lu Verne News is the biggest liar in Kossuth county. The undersigned was present at the time and claims to be able to distinguish between key 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. I M.

TIlLGEs. An Attractive Town, Titonka Topic: It would be a dimcult matter to dnd a prettier town than Algona. The numerous shade trees, the bills and the river together with the many beautirol residences make it a most attractive place. There are many buildings now under process of erection and a general air of prosperity prevades everywhere. HAPPY JUNE BRIDES.

Three Pretty Weddings the Record For This Week. Mr. J. J. Ryan Weds Miss Zoa Edna Wartman Wednesday Morning.

It gives the COURIER great pleasure to announce the marriage of its, good friend, Mr. J. J. Ryan, to one of Algona's most charming and talented young ladies, Miss Zoa Edna Wartman. The happy event occurred Wednesday merning 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 the 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 wbite.

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 Mower girls, Zada Dingley and Muriel Robinson, took their places beneath a canopy of flowers, where the Impressive ceremony was performed. The bride was attired In a bandsome 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 COURIER.

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, bustness 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. Doliver 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 Duluth 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 man of Barnum, M. J. and E.

P. Ryan of Fort Dodge, and Miss Alice Wright of Fort Dodge. Many beautiful and expensive presents were tendered the bride and groom by admiring friends here and elsewhere. Randall- The wedding of Miss Lillian Randall and Walter Crabtree was celebrated Tuesday evening at six o'clock at the residence the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs.

M. F. Randall, on Call street. 'The house was tastefully appointed for the occasion with beautiful floral decorations. The ceremony was performed in the spacious bay window which was banked with syrangos, 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. E.

Day, the Methodist Episcopal church, was then officiating clergyman. The bride gowned in white persian lawn and carried i pink roses. The groom wore the con- I ventional black. After the ceremony and extending of congratulations all repaired to the dining room to partake: of a sumptious wedding feast. The bride is one of Algona's charming young ladies, and has a host of young friends who love and admire the Algona I school with high her.

She graduated last year from honors. The groom is one of our best and successful young business men and is noted for his good habits and honesty. He is a brother of Mrs. Leroy 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 friends 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 housckeeping in the S. If. Pettibone residence.

They have the best wishes of a large circle of friends for their future happlness and prosperity. The guests present from abroad were Mrs. J. R. Crabtree of Chicago, mother of the groom, Mr.

B. Metcalr, the electric light expert, caught the marriage fever in Algona, and went down to Parkersville last Saturday and married Miss Etta Schultz.

The genial court reporter, Matt Grier, was married at Emmetsburg Tuesday toa Miss Edith A. Burt. 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 soDs, 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. Jobnson 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 be 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 father 'or any member of the family. He was a quiet, silent boy. His father now thinks that he was a little more so during and the last few days before his death, that he looked a little pale.

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

Julius Thouberg, a young man who works for John McDonald of Union township, and who has sbown remarkable ingenuity by inventing several interesting contrivances, has now a devise for lifting a bay rack from a wagon or sleigh. 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 the vehicle pass pass from under. And it may be put on again 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 and four o'clock tomorrow Mr. McDonald will be there with his team and rack and show how the thing works. Go and sec it.

Mr. Thonberg has made application for a patent on the machine. LU VERNE HAS A PICNIC. It Wats a Sporty Amir with Pickpockets and a Wrestling Match. There was a big day at Lu last week.

The occasion was a men picnic, and the way they picked and nicked was a caution. Two fellows picked a number of pockets, and one of them was caught after an citing chase, and put into the calaboose. 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 and rolled in the dust which was turned into wud by their sweat. Three falls were wrestled, and after each bout the athletes had to be carried off 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 Lu Verne. For Rent.
