l Manila. I'hiliuDino Inlands, Oct. 3.
Well, as you know, everything went
well for us; we left San Francisco on
Juno 15; it was a groat day for some of
us. At I p. in., tho general sounded
(that is the bugle Bound) to strike
tents, 1 suppose you have seen a pict
ure of it well, in three seconds after,
every tent was down on tho ground
and in forty-live beconds, wrapped, -so
you can see what drill does. Our tents
were tho same as they use at the G. A.
It. reunion. Well, four of us to a tent,
and to pull it up and have it ready to
load in fortv-five seconds and do it
right, makes us hustle; if you don't
think to, just got your father ana
three more men to try it. and you time
them. Well, I puess there is no use to
tell you any more of our times in
'Frisco, for I expect you have read so
much about that, you are tired. We
had a very pleasant voyage. At Hono
lulu, tho ladies, assisted by tho gov
ernment, gave us a great banquet, and
wo had a very good time. J he city is
quite a good bit like the pictures you
see of all foreign places, especially of
Japan and China Wo left there on
tho 24th of June, and it was days be
fore we saw land again. The sea was
very nice all the way over, but lots of
uj were sea sick, but when one gets
over it, then il is very fine. I would
just as soon ride on the ocean as on a
train (when the sea is smooth.) We
had one funeral at sea.it was the most
solemn one I ever saw. The vessel
heaved to at 10 o'clock for the ser
vices. I will try and give you a short
description of it and leave the rest of
it for you to imagine.
At 10 o'clock they brought a plank
on deck, it was just about the size of a
dining room table; over it they
placed a canvass sheet, (which was to
be the cottln) they put a sack of sand
on it at the rail, then came the solemn
pa rt.
They .brought out the body of Ser
geant Geddes of company Cand placed
it upon tho table with the feet ovei
the sack of sand, and sewed him up in
his blanket and then sewed the canvass
over it and all was ready. They then
placed the star and 9tripes over him,
the baud played, and the chaplain
read tho services which are prescribed
by tho government for burial at sea.
It was all military, but it was so differ
ent to be buried in the sea with no one
to witness it but God and man. That
made lots o: the boys think of home,
m mnv a Rtrono- man shed tears
over his grave, although they knew
him not. We arrived here on the 20th
day of Julv, that is at Camp Dewey,
seven mile3 south of this city. Well, I
will close for this time.
I am sincerely yours,
Clyde Voi-nrKo.

Two Stores Itobbed.
Chief Morrissey received word thia j
morning from Marshall Ballard of
Pacific Junction to the effect that bur
glars entered two stores last night and
got away with quite a little swag.
They got a half dozen razors, some
knives, watches, jewelry, ten boxes of
cartridges and a few pennies.
Tho thieves are described t s well
dressed and Mr. Ballard has wired
Mr. Morrissey to head them off should
they come to Piattsmouth, and wire
him at odcc
Chief Morrissey said that he was
sure the men would cot show up here,
as he had run them out of town yes
terday. Four well dressed toughs
were arrested night before last and
lodged in jail on suspicion. As there
was no evidence against them, Chief
Morrissey ran them across the river,
and they immediately got in their
work on the Iowa etorea.
Chief Morrissey did not like the
looks of the gang, and he suspected
that the men were haoging around for
no good purposes. They were a
smooth looking set of men, having the
appearance of tirst-class crooks.

llliuoU Central
ChicaiiO, Xov. 17. The Illinois
Central has decided to extend its lines
to Omaha. All the preliminary work
has peon done and the construction of
some 17o miles i f new track from Ft.
Dodge, la., to Om:iha will begin early
next spring. This extension will give
the Illinois Central a valuable new
western terminal and will greatly in
crease the importance of the western
end of the road .
On the south, too, the Illinois Cen
tral is about to construct a valuable
feeder to its system in northern Louis
iana. It is a ccntir.uation of the log
ging railway running from Kentwoed,
in a northeasterly direction toward
the Mississippi state line. The road
will be extended to Columbus, fifty
miles from Kc-ntwood.
