FROM THE PHILIPPINES. pates County Boy Writes Home When He Gets out, Will Stay Out. ganta Cavz STATIC Maniva, P. J. June 247TH, 1900. Pear BroTHEer Frank:—I thought I | would try and answer your letter, . s gladly received some time BOF ernie leaves me well, How are the folks at home? Everything is very dull here now, nothing for a toenjoy bimself with. What are you doing? are you at home? Guess there is going to be a hot time jn China. We were ordered to go there, but our Colonel was down goth and the #th got to go. We will be the next regiment, and look fora callany day. I hope we will go gsthisis too hot a place for an American to live in if he could get out. It is raining. It rained for six dats awhile back. It was the great- estrainand wind storm that has | visited these islands for many years. " Thave had good health, except a few dayslast Sept. On the 13th of June, # 1899, went to Kansas City and went to the Nelson building and en- fisted. Left thesame day for San Francisco. Arrived on the 17th. Went up to the fort and stayed until the 25th of July, then went aboard the transport Ohio. On the 27th we wteailfor Manila. Was out eight days when we reached Honolulu, stayed two days, then we sailed eight days moré, when we came in sigit of a burning voleano. It was a grand sight, out in the ocean, nothing else inssght. We went almost entirely around the island, and en the 25th of August entered Manila bay. On the 27th went ashore and marched to headquarters of the 10th Infantry and was assigned to Co. D and have been here ever since,seen nothing but alot of guard duty, on guard every other night. We sleep with our dothes on, don’t get much sleep any way you fix it. I ain’t been in any trouble since I left and [don’t intend to. I want to get an honorable dis- charge. Think I will be made a cor- poral before my time is up. I will never enlist if I live to get out of this place. I get about seven letters ev- ery mail, which comes every fifteen # days, and that is not often enough. Guess you have seen a good deal in the papers about General Pana. He lives in a house right on our left. He isthe smartest general in the insur- gentarmy. There are several gen- erals, captains and other officers living near here. I don’t think it will be long before I willsee the great insurgent leader, Aguinaldo. Some think he will soon surrender. Good by, write often, your loving brother, W. O.

Chieago, Il., Aug. 22.—At cratic national headquarters to-day Senator Jones, chairmam of the na- tional committee, said: “I see a story printed in the news- papers this morning to the effect that Senator John P. Jones has fol- lowed Senator Stewart into the . demo- publican camp, and that Senator Teller of Colorado is showing the greatest indifference to the Bryan cause. I happen to have some definite in- formation concerning this matter, and I pronounce both of these reports absolutely without any foundation. Senator J. P. Jones has beenentirely consistent in his views and actions for twenty-five years, and heis heart- ily enlisted in the fight for the demo- cratic party and for Mr. Bryan this year. Werely upon him implicitly. As for Senator Teller, stant correspondence with him, and lean say there is not aman at na- we are in con- tional headquarters or in the demo- cratic party who manifests greater solicitude for Mr. Bryan's election, and who has worked harder to complish it than Senator Teller. These stories undoubtedly emanate fromrrepublican sources, but I am at a loss to understand why the repub- licans should, at one and the same time, declare shat the one great issue in this campaign is the silver ques- tion and give out that the old silver leaders are coming over to the repub- lican party, because there is no silver issue.’ Senator Jones also said that there had been no correspondence between Andrew Carnegie and the national committee in regard to Mr. Carne- gie’s return from Scotland to make some speeches for Mr. Bryan and Stevenson. This information was given out by the anti-imperialist league at Boston, and I have no_ personal knowledge of the matter, whatever.” GAMBLERS ON OCEAN LINERS. ac- A Warning to Passengers Was Posted in the Campania’s Smoking-room. .—The following blue pencil ona sheet of foolscap and posted in the smoking room of the Campania, on her last trip, caused no little com- London, Aug notice, written in ment.

According to this report, Samuel D. Coykendall, who is interested in towing lines on the Hudson and is said to be on friendly terms river, with the American Ice Company, has contracted to take all the stock held by Mayor Van Wyck, his broth- er, Augustus, and the others at $15 for the common and $50 for the pre- ferred. Mr. Croker talked freely on ice when seen to-day. “T have sold my ice stock in the open market,” said Mr. Croker. “I do not know the name of the pur- chaser. I cabled to my partner, Mr. Meyer, to sell the stock while I was in Europe. When I returned he in- formed me that it had all been sold. I want to make it perfectly plain. I did not sell the stock because I was ashamed to ownit. I sold because I believed I could get its full value. I bought it believing it to be a good ice thing, and would buy ice stock to- morrow if I thought there was a profit in it.” There is one thing in connection with this ice business,’ continued Mr. Croker, “that the republican newspa- pers overlook. They are continually agitating the Ice Trust matter as though democrats were responsible for the monopoly and the high price ofice. As far as I have been able to learn, the officers and directors of the American Ice Company are all re- publicans. There is not aTammany manamong them and theshoe seems to be on the other foot. It will be made elear during thecampaign that republicans. and not democrats, con- trol the ice business. and have ad- vanced the price to consumers.” HAVE IT READY Minor accidents are so frequent and such hurts so troublesome no household should be with- out a bottle of St. Jacobs Oil \\ for instant use, asthe world knows itise PERFECT CURE for | | | SMITH & SON, | | | | solicited. ee eee COME IN. | We will be glad to see vou.
