have visited tho hospitals and seen the saddest sights I ever met. They are crowded with the sick and suffering soldiers who are dying by hundreds, besides the great numbers who are made cripples for life by disease. The natives are friendly when forced to be so, but greater enemies toourbacks never lived. Tdey are a worthless, and uncivlired race. It taker but little to support them, as the eat and live on what would starve Americans.

Their exports are nothing, their imports the same. The land is noted for nothing but rice growing and there are pleuty of natives so consume all that is raised. There are but two seasons, a rainy and a dry. In the rainy season it is unfit for any human being to be out aud in the dry season it is too sultry for an American to do more than barely live. Manila, the capital, is located on its west coai-t.

The inhabit ants are Americans, Spaniards, Chinamen and of many other nationalities. Its exports are dead and dying soldiers, its imports are new soldiers and rations from America. A soldier's life here is full of trouble and misery and if I live to tough it through Old Glory may wave where it will but America is good enough for me. Ora Bennett. Co.

druggist, and Fred ranger, shoe dealer, supplied with gun aud tackle, rowed a small boat up the Republican river early in the morning in quest of fish and game. Fred had succeeded in capturing several fine specimens from Fish Warden Buckman's herd of short horn cat fish and Will had winged a pintail and mallards. They were baviag grand sport. However, while trying to secure the ducks the boat capsized in a deep aud swiftly running channel. Fred, who cau't swim a stroke, clang desperately to keep his courage up called loudly for help.

Will quickly made his way to tbe shore, and "after a long time. 60 Fred says, helped the latter out cf the ice cold water. However, the bait, the fish, the snake bite remedy an overcoat and a fine Winchester shotgun bad mingled with the muddy waters' of the Republican, and with the exception of the gun was fished out with a garden rake, not a thiug has been recovered. Wil Munson was raised here aud is well known. It is safe to say that if he had remained here such an accident would not have befallen him, owing to the guardian care and many admonitions of the wickedness and dangers of going fidiiog on Sunday, exercised and administered by his pious old father, Rev W.

Pleasanton Herald. A young lady who attended church oue Sunday evening not long ago, eat directly behind a tall, handsomely dressed stranger with a piece of raveling hanging to his coat collar. Being one of those generous-hearted, whole-souled girls who grow up to be motherly old ladies, a friend to everybody in town she thought how glad she would be if some kind-hearted girl would do so much for her father were he to go to church with a raveling hanging down his back, so when the audience arose for prayer she concluded to pit it off. Carefully raising her hand she gave a little twitch, but there was more of it than she supposed and a foot or more Setting her teeth she gave a pull and a couple of yards of that horrid thread bung down his back. This was getting embarrass ing, was so painful that chloroform could not have alleviated her suffering, nor a pint of powder hidden her blushes when the gentleman turned with an enquiring look to see what was tickling his neck.

Bremmersick was born at Indianapolis, Oct. 16, 1861, and was 39 years old on her lar-t birthday. About 1880, she came west with her parents and located at Leroy, Her maiden name was Mary Summers.

Last Sunday night between 10 and 11 o'clock, a barn, 2 miles west of Pleasanton belongiug to Dean Snow was set on fire bv some depraved miscreant and burned with its don-tents, consisting of two horses, one mule, a sow and pigs, 500 bushels of corn, some hay, narness and other articles. The fire was discovered too late to save any thing. A short time afternoon, a hay-stack within about twents feet of the barn on the old farm, where O. P. Baker lives and now owns, was noticed to be on fire but fortunately burned without catchiug the barn.

There is no doubt but that both fires were started by an incendiary, who should be hunted down and punished mercilessly. There is no absolute clew to who the party is, but no effort will be spared to discover him. Poland Boars for Sale.

THE WOMAN AND HER CLOTHES. Is It Almost Criminal to Make Dress Vital Things of Life "When a woman devotes one-half of to thoughts of dress she absolutely. takes the whole' question out of its proper relation to her life, and belittles the talents which God n-a va hop fnr faf frra.l.p (Kin rra write Edward Boek, iu reply to a woman correspondent, in the April Ladies' Home Journal. "It is, in deed, a grave question whether she does uot debase herself. Nor will she be 'well dressed': tbe chances are far greater that she will be 'over-dressed No woman who has any regard for what is worth while in this world and for what will bring her the sur est cud fullest happiness in' the long run, will so.

dissipate her energies and vitality. The right to dress prettily and becomingly belongs to every woman. It is her birthright and her duty. A disregard of dress, or the affectation of queer or freakish dressing, does not belong to a normal woman. But to make dress one of tbe vital things of life is carrying it beyond the ridiculous point and close to the criminal.

Audit is just this rightful adjustment of the things in life which simplicity does for us. It gives a rightfnl place and a rightful value to each. It doesn't belittle tbe one nor distort the other."

JANNEY, Passenger The Atchison, Topeka Siati Fa Rj Kansas Cur, Mo. A certain newspaper devil was explaining to a young lady last week tbe difference between printing and publishing, He having concluded, she 6hyly said Now yon may print a kiss on my cheek, but you must not publish With that he locked the fair form in his arms, so it would uot pi, aud went to press Ex. Charley Scott says that Kansas is called the Sunflower state "because as the sunflower turns on its stem to catch the first beams of the morning sun, and its broad disk and yellow rays follow the great orb of day, so Kansas turns to catch the first rays of every advancing thought or civilized agency, and with her broad prairies and golden fields welcomes and follows the light." Tho Topeka Capital says this sounds nicely, but spoils the sentiment by adding that as a cold matter of fact Kansas is called tbe Sunflower state because so many of the dod-rotted weeds grow here. Ex. Tuesday afternoon Georgo Liw- bead shipped two black wolves to the New York Zoological Park where they will be placed on exhibition.

Tbe price he received for the animals was $100. Probably thoe eastern people will view the fierce looking wolves "captured in Kansas" and de cide that this is a wild country suro enough. Mr. Lawhaad captured four of the animals several months ago and has been getting them in condition for the parks. The black wolf is very scarce aud it is seldom they are captured.

Leasure, better known as "Kit," is ot.e of our prosperous young men who has the happy faculty of gettiug on in the world and making money. He enjoys the confidence of all and is an honest voung man. Tbe Journal joins the people of Lincoln and Scott townships in wishing them well. Mrs. Moses Ellsworth, of Scott township, died yesterday morniug of paralysis.

She was 76 years of age and one of the most highly respected citizens of Linn county. LaCygne Journal. Washington. D. C-, April 5.

A circular of instruction governing rural free delivery throughout the country has been issued by the posl office department.

Ed. Blair's poetic ad. for the grange store, Cackle, Cackle, Plymouth Rocks," which appeared iu the Standard last week, was republished iu the Kansas City Journal's "Kansas Topics," column on the 14th inst. 'Gene Lorton's paper, the Everett' Times, came to us as a daily a short time ago, with the Easter number with an illustrated cover and other signsof prosperity and up-to daleness. It appears that 'Gene has 'struck it rich in his new newspaper field, and no one of his old Linn couuty friends will begrudge him his success.

From the frequency that our friend, J.Frank Smith, of the Observer, refers to and explains the new county printer election law it would seem that a whole swarm of couuty printer office bees are buzzing in his bonnet. Elder S. B. McGrew was in town Monday. He spent a part of the past winter in "southern Missouri and northern Arkansas, returning three weeks ago last Thursday.

He says the climate was so mild down there that it has somewhat unfitted him to live comfortably in the cold, raw at roosphere which has prevailed in Kan sas since his return. He will go to Greeley next Saturday. Prosperity has certainly struck the country. Win. Marks, better known as "Inky Bill," turned in to the assessor of this township a personal property valuation of over $300.

It is suspected that the valuation is all Inky has, as an alibi can be proved for the property in this township but that makes no difference with the "prosperity." I. M.

Tuesday John W. Poore drew up petitions for circulation, asking the issouri Pacific railroad to give to Mound City a passenger and mail train daily, each way. There is not a county seat town in Kansas, we be lie ve, which has a railroad, that has as poor and unsatisfactory train ser vice as Mound Citv. The contract made at the time the bonds were pro posed to be voted, obligates-, the com pany to give tbts city first class ser vice, which it has fallen short of by about sixteen classes, and the road should be first asked to comply with its contract, and then, if no heed is given, be compelled" to do so.
