The postoffice at Ogden was burglar ized about 3 o'clock a few nights since. The safe was drilled and a charge of powder exploded, but it was not sufficient to blow the safe open, although some of the contents of the safe were destroyed.

A quantity of stamps in the office was left untouched. 1 Iowa City dispatch: Sheriff John W. Welsh of Johnson county was found ''opt guilty." He was on trial charg ed. with malfeasance in office, drunk enness, permitting a prisoner to escape ete. Thfe case was tiled before^ ete. Thfe case was tiled Jefor« House of Maquokete, Judge Wade d* fcMetl not to preside at the 1*1*1 of an officer in his own court. JUdge House took the case from the jury on technic alities, declaring that the law did not provide for the dismissal of an officer where intoxication did not interfere with the performance of his official duties and that the recent escape of the prisoner at Cedar Eapids, while en route to Anamosa, nnless willfully permitted by the sheriff, was not a cause for expulsion. A'dozen other charges were stricken out on the grounds that if the sheriff had been gtfilty as charged the malfeasance was an his preceding term of office. Mrs. Jeannette Ireland, residing near Waterloo, was attacked a few days ago by a large and ferocious bull dog, which inflicted npon her ininries •family rj which may canse her death. The dog had been long kept in the and was regarded as perfectly gentle, bnt he made an unprovoked attack npon the woman, springing at iher throat. Mrs. Ireland threw np ?her arms to ward off the attack, and probably saved her life, though her "0 arms were so terribly lacerated that the flesh hangs in shreds and both will doubtless have to be amputated. Other severe wounds werelalso inflicted on the woman's breast and shoulders. Mrs. Ireland succeeded in so pluckily fighting for her life that the dog was at last wearied and left her, and the woman succeeded in reaching ^neigh boring farm, when she famted from exhaustion and loss of blood. The physician states she is in a condition, with the chances all against ber recovery. TUB liEWS IN IOWA APPLICATION MUST ATTACH. Decision of the Iowa Supreme Court in Important life Cases. DES MOIXES, May 13.—A decision handed down by the supreme court of Iowa says that an exact copy of the application must be attached to every life insurance policy.

Johnson vs. the Des Moines Life Insurance Company, appellant, from Lee district. An exact or true copy of an application is defined in the decision as "more than a merely substantial copy and yet not a true likeness or facsimile, but so exact and accurate that upon comparison it can be said to be a true copy without resorting to construction."

DES MOIXES, May 11.—The question of which of the Iowa regiments should be the first to go to the front was set eled by the secretary of war when that official telegraphed Governor Shaw that it was his wish that the regiments be sent separately in the order of the seniority of colonels.

WASIUXGTOX, May 11.—The supreme court in the case of H. Rhodes, railroad agent at Brighton, Iowa, vs. the State of Iowa, held that the Iowa law for bidding the sale of liquor in the state and making it a crime to transport them, is unconstitutional, as interfer ence with interstate commerce. Rhodes, as the agent of the company, carried certain liquor that had been shipped from outside the state, to a man in Brighton, from the car in wWc it came to the station ware- house, about was ten fect For this he prosecuted personally for having violated the law which prohibits the transportation of liqnor in the state to persons not authorized to receive it. fle brought an action in the federal ct)tirt to prevent the state from punish ing him, on the ground that he was only an agent of the railway company, perfecting the transportation of the original package, which it is admitted the railway company had the right to carry. Lawyers say if it had been de cided against Rhodes, no railway com pany could have shipped liquor to persons not holding permits, because such action would subject the railway companies to all the penalties of the old prohibitory law. The decision will not, it is thought, have any other effect upon the state liquor law, though its full purport is not known. Verdict Against Street Railway. DES MOIRES, May 13.—A verdict was returned by the jury in Judge Holmes' ccnirt in the damage case of Mrs. E. J. Root vs. DeS Moines Street Railway Company for $4,350 in favor of plaintiff.

Iowa Troops Assigned. WASHINGTON, May 10.—Subject to change, the war department has as signed one rqgutent of Iowa troops to Washington, one to New Orleans, and the other two to department com manders for defense and reserve. AN IOWA INSTITUTION. Tho Iowa State Register, referring to (ho monument reared by the Hawkeye Insurance company of Des Moines, "which, is a statewide monument, be cause its business cover3 all of Iowa and Is confined to the state," writes as follows: "It will be noticed that the4 monument was reared year by year, wid that there is not a year that does not show an increase of business since the organization of the company in 1866, nearly one-third of a century, and that there has been an average in crease nearly equal to the first year's business during each of the years the company has been in existence. That is a splendid record, and The Register takes pleasure in placing it before the people of the state as an example of the manner by which any well manag ed business can be made popular with the people of the state, and as success ful as a similar business isterest "n any other state. "The HawXe?«r Insurance company is exclusively an Iowa institution and every dollar paid to that company for insurance against fire, lightnius, high winds and tornadoes, remains in the state to aid in the building up of Iowa business and labor. It is officered and managed by Iowa men who have pride and interest in their own state, and de sire to aid in making Iowa all that the state can be made a3 the chief agricul tural and manufacturing state of the world. No one has ever attempted to deny that Iowa is the chief agricultural state of the world, the official statistics prove that Iowa produces moie bread and meat than any other state or coun try of equal area on the earth: and Iowa will become the chief manufactur ing state of the world when the shop workers and food producers have been brought together on Iowa's peerless plains, where food and fuel are cheaper than in any other state, "The monument of the Hawkeye In surance company shows that the assets of that company reached $28,617.14 dur ing its first year, 1866, and incroasci1, year by year until they reached $79S, 960.72 in 1S97. Compare the assets of the two years, 1S66 and 1S97, and vov. will be convinced of the steady growth of this sterling Iowa company, and the absolute safety of all the policy hold ers of that company. It is a monument of which all Iowa can be proid and ev ery policy holder should be proud thai he has aided in building up afire and storm insurance company in Iowa that is as strong and safe as any insurance company of any other state or country. The company has a capital stock of $100,000 total assets of $798,960.72, and a net surplus of $320,058.53, in excess of gross liabilities, including re-insurance reserve and capital, and the surplus as regards policy holders is $420,058.53. These are the official figures for the year 1897. If there is any company or business interest in Iowa that can make a safer, cleaner and better show ing of its whole record, The Roister will be pleased to receive tha details, for that is what we are constaii'ly looking for in our earnest endeavors to induce the people of Iowa to patronize home institutions, and thus help them selves and all the other busines and la boring interests of the state. "The Hawkeye Insurance Company is one of the chief business interests Ot Iowa, and one of the best safeguards of the people of the state. It has good competitors in its line of business, and there is unlimited opportunity for the organization of other companies to compete for the insurance of the people cf the state. There has been and will be growling against the insurance companies, just assthere is ag.iinst all other business interests, but Iowa lias as well managed and safe fire insurance companies as any other state or coun try, and the millions of dollars annual ly sent out of the state for fire insur ance should be retained in Iowa, and will be when the people of the state be come fully loyal to their own interests. "Advertising on the editorial page?" Not a bit of it. Never a line on The Register's editorial page has been paid for, but The Register has entered upon a life mission to induce the people of Iowa to unite to build up the .Hate by patronizing their own instutions, arid it is speaking of the Hawkeyo lusui* ance company as one of the best and safest institutions of the state, because its editor personally knows oi the facta stated, notwithstanding he is not now and never has been connected with that company, nor had any pecuniary interest therein whatever, except a fire insurance policy upon Tha Register property. That is the best test, and The Register will be pleased to extend editorial commendation to any legiti mate, helpful and safely managed busi ness interest in the state. "This is the year to giv? all *owa re newed growth in business and labor, and the only way to safely and certain ly accomplish that is for all the people of tho state to patronize Icwa institu tions, and Iowa business and laboring interests in preference to all others. This editorial is intended tc directly apply to every citizen of Iowa who reads it, or sees or hears reference made to it." CI KKKNT EVENTS.

Our Squadron is Uninjured and Only Few of Our Men Are Slightly Wounded—Dewey Con trols the Bay. "OLD GLORY" NOW WAVES OVKR .MAMT.A BAY AJCD CAVITE. Washington, May S.—The state department yesterday re ceived news from Commodore Dewey at Manila. The news came by way of Hong Kong, to which point the dispatches were carried by the dispatch boat McCulloch. The first dis patch was as follows: On Saturday night the American ships crept Inside the bay without be ing seen until the McCulloch's funnel emitted a spark. Then a few shot3 were exchanged with Corregridor island, but the fleet never stopped nor showed, down opposite the city until dawn. The Spanish ships 'then opened fire, sup ported by the Cavite forts. The Mc Culloch remained at some distance" an9 4he enemy's shells passed, but did not touch her.

Five or ten shots took effect on her, btft none of her officers or craw was seriously hurt. Only a. tew slight in juries were suffered by the American fleet, the worst of which resulted from an explosion of ammunition on the deck of the Baltimore. The ether ships of tho fleet were practically unhurt. One hundred and fifty Spaniards were killed and many were wounded. The cruiser Rf^ina Christina was the worst damaged of the Spanish ships, and it is believed that she was sunk. The ether ships of the Spaniards were quickly riddled by the Americans* fire Two torpedo boa'ts from Cavite were quickly forced to return to that place for shelter. The Cavite! arsenal exploded and for ty Spaniards were killed.' The forts made a normal resistance. The battery has never capitulated and tho Spaniards ashore are still defiant. The Olympia led the squadron into the bay through the channel and the fleet had passed Corregidor island be fore the Spaniards perceived them.

By direction of the president, Secretary Long sent the following cablegram to Dewey: WASHINGTON, May ".—Dewey, Manira: Tlie president, in tho name of tho American people, thanks you and your officers and men for your splendid achievement and overwhelming victory.

The squadron then slowly proceeded up the harbor and when daybreak had opened, the town of Manila was seen about fives miles distar.U. The Ameri can sbips steamed deliberately along in front of Manila, but without open ing fire until the Spanish cannon from the batteries around the town began firing and shots began to strike the wa ter around the squadron. Then the Concord fired a few shots more or less as she passed, but the other ships pro ceeded silently towards Cavite. When nearing Baker bay, a sudden upheaval of the waters occurred a little distance in front of the leading ship and quickly following th.i3 a second waterspout denoted that the Spaniards had fired a couple of mines or torne- "TIIE OIA'SiriA," ADMIRAL DEWEY'S FLAGSHIP. does, but their efforts to blow up the ships were absolutely unsuccessful. Al most immediately the guns 'in the Ca vite battery burst into a heavy cannon ade. The shells fell in 'the neighbor hood of the Olympia, but a majority of them fell short and were badly aimed. The squadron then drew nearer in to ward the Spanish fleet and the battle bejran in real earnest. The American ships entered by the south Dm channel, between Caballo and Frile isle's, which were fortified. Com modore Dewey resolved to risk the mine 5 which were supposed to block the channd'.. The Island forts fired, but not together. ^Replying with a few shells, the squadron proceeded without stopping- or changing :its course. The order of the vessels was as.follows: The Olympia, Baltimore, Raleigh, Concord, Boston, Petrel, McCulloch, Nanahan and Zaflro, and thus they steamed to the center of 'the bay. They parsed before the city, seeking the Spanish squadron and found them near t'ne entrance of Baker bay, backed and flanked by the Cavite forts with two torpedo boats and four gunboats inside 'the mole, "which served as protection, while the Reina Christian. Castilla, Don Antonio do Ulloa. Is^a de CubP •'±i t. :0.'. '/•iiXj*. ,«». «r 4 wmmff$fwr$p, lsia ae Luzon and the mall boat Mln darao were drawn up oa'a.\de. The Spaniards flred the first shot at 6,000 yards, but It was ineffective. The American ships formed In col umn line and steamed nearer, reserving thttr lire unt!ll within 4,000 yards. Tney then passed backwards and forwards six times across the Spaniards' front, pouring dn a perfect hail of shot and shell. Every shot seemed to tell. Then the Americans retired for breakfast and a council of war. The Spanish ships were already in a desperate condition. The Ra.na Maria Chi'istina was riddled and one of her steam pipes 'had burst. The Castillo, was also on Are, and both were burned to the water's edge. The Don Antonio de Uiloa made a magnificent show of desperate bravery. "With her colors nailed to her mast, she sank with all hands. Her hull was riddled and her upper deck swept clean, but the guns on the lower deck were still fining de fiantly as the vessel sank beneath the waters. A torpedo boat 'cried to creep along the shore, round the offing and attack the non-combatants Zafiro, Nan shan and McCulloch., but was driven ashore and shot Into bits. The Min darao was run onto the beach, and the other small craft retired behind the mole. The tight started at 5:30, was adjsurned at 8:30 and resumed about noon. The finishing touches were given to Cavlte by 'tlie Petrel and Con corn. The Raleigh grounded twice in shallow water during' the engagement. Cavite lis in utter ruin and has sur rendered, tho gunboats have been scut tled and the arsenal was on fire and exploded, causing greait mortality. The commodcre of the fleet on board the Reina Maria Christina was wounded and her captain, lieutenant, chaplain and the midshipman were lnilled by a shell striking the bridge. Eighty of her crew were killed and sixty wounded. On the Castilla one hundred were killed and f'ixty were- wounded. Th.-. Spanish casualties aggregate more than a thousand. There were no casualties among the American crews, except that six of the Baltimore's men were slight ly wounded by one of tha enemy's shells striking another sh?ll lying on deck and exploding -it. There were only three shot holes in her upper works, five in the upper-works of the Olympia and a whaleboat smashed on the Raleigh. No other damage was done anywhere. The disparity between the injury in flicted on the Spanish fleet and that sustained by the Americans is due to tha sunerior guns of the latter and the superior marksmanship at long range. The Manila Esplanade Krupp 10-inch guns were flred continuously, but the Americans avoided repaying, and the batteries she wed a white flag afterward. The terms of capitulation are still un settled. Commodore Dewey fears riot ing by the rebels if he attempts a bom bardment. The forts at 'the entrance to the bay capitulated and were dis mantled on "Wednesday. The Ameri cans cut the cable, because the Span 'iards refused to permit them to use it pending the surrender of the city, and lit is. therefore, not ktvcjvn what 5s 'transpiring on shore. NO SILKEN GLOVE. Power of tlie United States Will Forcibly Exerted in Pacific. Be WASHINGTON, May 9.—The Post prints the following: All day yesterday, following the re ceipt of the official advices from D.v.vey, important conferences were in progress at 'the white house, the war and navy departments. As the result of these conferences, plans have been j« rfscted for the retention of the Philippines, the immediate invasion of Cuba snd the occupation of Porto Rico. Telegrams have been sent in all directions'advis ing military and naval commanters of the adoption of an aggressive policy, and in six weeks the war ought-.to be at an end. In the meantime, Spain's fleet on 'the Atlantic will be sant to the bottom of the ocean. It is to be no silken glove that1,the United S-Xa,tts is to stretch out overi the Pacific. It will be a hand of mjn-il. Armed men are to be sent, with giljns and bayonets and light artillery the expedition is to be no eumni nic. The military governor of the islands will probably be General Henry C. Merriam, a brave fighter and a fine executive officer. There is to be no turning the islands over to a provis ional or experimental government of the insurgents, as will be the case with Cuba. Such a step would endanger the lives of Spaniards as well as_ Eu ropeans, and would lose to the Cnited States all the fruits of Dewey's victory. The flag of the United States is to float over the islands in fact, as well as in name. There is to be a new power in the Pacific, all the rest of the world to the contrary notwithstanding.
