All the Way For One Fare

The first question any sensible person would
ask, if tliey went out to buy a watch, piano, a razor
or a bicycle would be, "whose make is it?" The
name of the maker alone is a sufficient guarantee of
quality in hundreds Of things that are being sold.
The same rule will apply to clothing.
Did you ever hear of the Kantwkarout brand
of boys' clothing? That is the brand we are selling
and it is increasing in popularity every season.
There are other good makes of boys' clothing, of
course, but there is none to compare with the Kant­

Gallantry of Americans.
MANILA, April 1.—The American
troops are resting at Malolos. The
American loss was one killed and 15
wounded. The only effective stand
made by the rebels was at a bamboo and
earthwork, half a mile from Malolos
and on the right, where the Nebraska
regiment, as was the case Thursday,
had the hardest work and suffered the
greatest loss.
Colonel Funston, always at the front,
was the first man in Malolos, followed
by a group of dashing Kansans.
The Filipino flag, which was flying
from the center of the town, was hauled
down by some of tho Montana regi
ment, who triumphantly raised their
own above it.
From the column of smoke arising
from the city it seemed as if the whole
place wy- ablaze. It turned out, how
ever, that only the presidencia, or gov
ernment building, and a few of the
smaller buildings had been set on fire
by the rebels before they evacuated the
place.
From the reports gathered by the
American officers, from prisoners and
others, it is believed that the rebel army
is constantly losing strength on account
of desertions, and that although the
enemy may make one or two more
stands, the forces of Aguinaldo will

Ruus Across 1,000 Rebels.
MANILA, April u.—General MacArthur
reconnoitered in force yesterday with
the Montana regiment, the Fourth cav
alry and two guns of the light artillery
as far as the river north of Malolos.
The reconnaissance developed the fact
that there are fully 1,000 rebels, armed
with Mauser rifles, preparing for de
fense. Shots were exchanged and two
of the Montana regiment were wounded,
but there was no engagement. Later
in the day General MacArthur moved
northward, as the water supply of Ma
lolos is inadequate.
The belief is spreading among the
residents here that the effect of the
capture of Malolos, the former rebel
capital, followed by the proclamation of
the United States Philippine commis
sion, will be to convince the natives
that Aguinaldo's bubble has burst. Dr.
Schurman, president of the commission,
said: "The Filipinos have been asking
unceasingly 'What do you propose to
do for us?' The proclamation answers
the question and it should satisfy
them."

Commission Issues Proclamation.
MANILA, April 5.—The preamble of
the proclamation of the United States
Philippine commission recites the ces
sion by the peace treaty of the Pnilip
pine islands to the United States, re
fers to the appointment of the commis
sion, assures the people of the cordial
good will and fraternal feeling of the
president of the United States and the
American people and asserts that the
object which the United States govern
ment, apart from the fulfillment of its
solemn obligations, has assumed toward
the family of nations by the acceptance
of the sovereignty over the islands, is
the well being, prosperity and happi
ness of the Philippine people and their
elevation and advancement to a position
am iug the most civilized people of the
,vo!ld.
The commission emphatically asserts
that the supremacy of the United States
must and will be enforced throughout
every part of the archipelago, and those
who resist it can accomplish no end
other than their own ruin. It is will
ing and anxious to establish an en
lightened system of government under
which the people may enjoy the largest
measure of home rule and the amplest
liberty consonant with the supreme
ends of the government and compati
ble with those obligations which the
United States has assumed towards the
civilized nations of the world.
In conclusion the proclamation an
nounces that the commission will visit
the Philippine provinces to ascertain
the enlightened natives' ideas as to the
form ot' government, invites the leading
representative men to meet the commis
sion and declares the policy of the
United States in the establishment and
maintenance of the government is to
consult the wishes and secure the ad
vice and co-operation of the people.
NEBRASKANS LEAD CHARGE.
Xjone Four Men Killed and Thirty Wound
ed at Guiguiuto.
MANILA, March 31.—The United
States troops rested last night in the
jungle, about a mile and a quarter from
Malolos. The day's advance began at 2
o'clock and covered a distance of about
two and a half miles beyond the Gui
guinto river, along the railroad. The
brunt of the battle was on the right of
the track, where the enemy was appar
ently concentrated. The First Nebraska,
Firiifi outh Dakotu and Tenth Pennsyl
vania regiments encountered them in
trenched on the border of the woods,
and the Americans, advancing across the
open, suffered a terrific fire for half an
hour. Four men of the Nebraska regi
ment were killed and 30 were wounded.
Several men of the Dakota regiment
were wounded and one of the Pennsyl
vania!^ was killed.
The Americans finally drove the Fili
pinos back. Although there were three
lines of strong entrenchments along the
track, the enemy made scarcely any de
fense there. General Mac Arthur and
his staff were walking on the track
abreast of the line with everything
quiet, when suddenly they received a
shower of bullets from sharpshooters in
trees and on housetops, but these were
speedily dislodged.
The enemy's loss was apparently
small, the jungle affording them such
protection that the Americans were un
able to see them and in firing were
guided by the sound of the Filipino
shots. The American artillery was
handicapped for the same reason.

BY
39,610.
Republican Candidate Gets Vote of 107,
304 and John P. Altgold Folia 4._»,401.
Republicans Get Nineteen Aldermen
and Democrats Fifteen*
CHICAGO, April 5.—Carter H. Harri
son was re-elected mayor of Chicago
yesterday by a total vote of 146,914,
against 107,304 for Ziua R. Carter, the
Republican candidate, and 45,401 for
John P. Altgeld, the Independent Dem
ocratic candidate. Harrison's plurality,
39,610. In the last mayoralty election
Harrison was elected by a vote of 148,
000, against 59,348 for Sears, the regular
Republican nominee, and 69,367 for
Harlan, the Independent Republican.
Of the 34 aldermen elected, the Re
publicans secured 19 and the Democrats
15. The next city council will consist
of 28 Republicans and 40 Democrats, a
gain of five for the Republicans. The
city ticket of the Democrats was elected
by majorities running all the way be
tween 6,000 and 8,000. The Democrats
also carried all the town elections, elect
ing assessor, collector, supervisor and
town clerk in the north, south and west
towns, the majorities running from
6,000 to 10,000.
The election was entirely upon local
issues, no element of national politics
entering into the campaign. The firm
stand taken by Mayor Harrison against
the proposed 50-year extension of the
street car franchises was a strong ele
ment of his popularity and sained him
many votes from the Republican party,
besides holding closely to him many of
the Democratic party who might have
cast their votes for the independent
Democratic candidate. Another fact that
drew to him many Republican votos
was the existing opposition to the Re
publican machine among the rank and
file of the Republican party.
Ohio Municipal Electlous.
CINCINNATI, April 4.—The elections in
Ohio yesterday were generally for mu
nicipal and township officers. While
local issues usually control these spring
elections, yet there were other influ
ences in some places. At Cleveland,
there was a decisive Democratic vic
tory on the head of the ticket, but Far
ley's election was not due alone to the
local opposition to Mayor McKissou for
a third term. McKissou last year was
the candidate of the bolting Republic
ans and the Democrats in the legis
lature against Senator Hanna. At Co
lumbus a Republican mayor was elected
for the first time in 12 years. At Cin
cinnati the Republicans have a plurality
of 7,000, and the present Democratic
mayor was elected two years ago by al
most as large a plurality. At Toledo,
Jones (Ind.) was elected on Pingree is
sues, assisted by factional complications.
At Dayton the Democrats made munic
ipal gains, but the Republicans gained
in the township, which seems to be the
case throughout the state. Whilo the
greatest change was at Cleve
land, where the Republicans have
controlled the city for years
with Robert McKissou as mayor. At
Hamilton the Democrats maintained
their majorities, also at Lima, Newark,
Circleville Upper Sandusky, Wapako
neta, Millersburg and "Van Wert. At
Zanesville and Marysville the Repub
licans were successful and they made
gains at Napoleon. As a rnle the vote

Elections In Michigau,
DETROIT, April 4.—Yesterday's elec
tions in Michigan have not shown any
marked change in the political complex
ion of the state, which is normally Re
publican, but tho result shows quite
heavy Democratic gains in some of the
larger cities, notably so iu Detroit,
Grand Rapids, Saginaw, Jackson and
Kalamazoo. On a generally light voi
the Republicans hold their own iu the
smaller cities aud throughout the rural
districts. Circuit judges were re-elected
in 36 judicial districts. Of thess, about
two-thirds of the new judges, who are
elected for six-year terms, are Repub
licans.
The Republicans re-elect Judge'Claud
ius B. Grant as justice of the supreme
court by a majority of at least 20,000.
They also elect Henry S. Dean and Eli
R. Sutton regents of Michigan univer
sity by somewhat greater majorities.
Thomas E. Barkworth, Democratic can
didate for justice, ran nearly 6,000
ahead of Judge Grant in Wayne
county (Detroit) and Grant only re
ceived 1,000 plurality in Kent county
(Grand Rapids), which in recent years
has shown heavy Republican majorities.
Results In Kansas.
TOPEKA, Kan., April 5.—The elections
held throughout the state yesterday
have been very quiet and partisan lines
were not sharply drawn and local in
dependent issues predominated. Spe
cials to the Capital from 50 small towns,
while showing Republican victory in
most cases, emphasize the couditioa
stated. In Topeka the entire Repub
lican ticket is elected by 2,000 majority.
In Kansas City, Kan., the indications
are that the normal Republican plural
ity has been overcome and that Mayor
Marshman, the Republican candidate,
has been defeated lor re-election by
Buchelter, the Democratic candidate.
