Dear folks ut boino : Well , we
bftvo received our Chridtums boxes
after BO long a time ; tlioy oanio on
Marob Oth , and at a pretty good
time after all , as wo wen going on
outpost lor twenty-four bourn tbo
same day they came , and on Hiicb
duty wo only bt.vo what wo can
carry in our haversacks , and our
fruit cake and jellies wort ) mighty
nice for luncb. Cake is Hometbing
a soldier seldom sees ; my box came
in good shape and my oako way
delicious. The box OH wont from
Broken Bow to boys not from there
wore highly appreciated , and every
one says when we are mustered out
( boy will go to Broken Bow to
thank tbo partioH that Hont them.
I wish you would thank lluriy
Day' * clerks forthuir thoughtfulness -
ness of me and thu presents they
seni ; alriO Reno Fields ; she sent mu
a handkerchief whan 1 wan sick at
Manila , and a book with the Xtnas
boxes. 1 should wriln to these par-
tioa myaelf and aiknowledge ilioir
gifts , but just now it JH all I can dote
to Hud lime to write homo. The
Nebraska regiment IH still at the
water works and in a skirmish ev
ery day or two , and wo are bother
ed with pceky sharp shooters al
the time. Tbcte is a nice spring
of Wfttcr just below Co K'H quar
ters , and the boy stldom go there
without being shot at , and ocean
ionally a bullet thus through our
camp. When wo were on outpos
duty March 01 h we wore fired on
but hold the position until 3 p. m.
when wo wore relieved by Co. I
That night they weio torced to retreat
treat ; reinforcements were sent to
them , and two wore wounded in
Co. I. The next day there WAS a
general attack on the water works
and the next day we chased then
in great shape. There were tw
men killed in Co. B. and one in G
Co. B'B captain wan wounded , and
another man from a company tha
I don't know. Wo ware in supper
of the battery that day on aoooun
of being on outpost before th
fight , and only tired a few shots
but it in the only time since w
bavo boon hero that we were not a
the front. Tbo 'iwentioth and
Twenty-Second regulars are bore
and more troops are expected an ;
time. I suppose there will bo a
big round.up of natives when tbo ;
All got here ; I hope BO , anyway ; i
we can got them well licked the

Mu. EDITOII ; I saw in your pa-
> ur not long tjiucc , an article in
o ara to the gambler in our city ,
vlnuh put me to thinking. The
ui'Htion ariHen , are wo becoming a
iiitton of gamblers ? and wo are
forced to admit that to too great
in extent we areThero ib a
latino for everything , and let tin
HOC if we can tind uuy UUUBO for
this. Are our teachings on Ibis
> oint as plain and distinct as they
ihould bu ? LIow often do vre Heo
boys on our streets , not yet in their
teuiiH , playing innrblofor keepn" ,
ind Boino ol them KOIIB of our
church mcmbera who would ,
no doubt , hold up their
hands in holy horror if you or I
hliould intimate that their boy
* wonld become a gambler : and yet
tins is a Htepping-atone , and gives
the young mind a considerable
start on the load that leads to the
seductive oliaruiH of a continued
gumblor. Again , a tew days at o I
heard a little son of an earnest
Christian wovker lolling what a
jolly , good [ > aiuo Mr. A's. sou had
ut Hobiol , where ho would have
olhcr boys try to drop a marble in
a hole in a box lid ; Hliould ho fail ,
us he waH almost sure to do , the
marble was a forfeit to the young
malinger , but on the other hand did
ho Kuooebd he was rewarded by two
to one Boino time within the last
twelve months the slot machines
wore all stopped from running in
our city , the justice of which 1 do-
not question , but lo ! Fair time
came ana our streets were crowded
by the worst form of gambling , it
so far that they allowed any one
without regard to ago to partici
pate , you and I saw staunch ohurol
member showing with evident
pride , a knife that his boy , not in
his teens , had won at one of these
tables , and he remarked that it only
coat him ton cents. 13ut Homo one
may say , you are too hard on the
church member , but I say no , and
1 atn not vet through with the
church. In the not far past I
attended churc on Sunday evening
and the minister publicly announo
od that on a certain evening , at t
certain place , there would bo :
carpet-rag social , and went on to
explain that the young man would
pay ten cents for a ball and no oiu
knew what bo wotld find on un
winding it. Siooo then we had
oob web social , where the same
idea of obanoo prevailed. Knowing
that the human mind , especially of
the young , runs toward the ohatio-
cs , they reason , uud rightly too
that more would attend and pay
thu neueHsary ion cents for the ball
of carpet rags for the fun ol find
ing whose name was written within
than would , weiOtbo elements of
gambling loft out luoro would pay
the ten cents to get in and neoure a
string representing the cob-web ,
that they might try the lottery ol
ohanoo aa to whom ho would secure
to snari ) Inn linoh. And what is
the price paid for this ICBFOII in
gambling ? Why , just simply dollars
lars and oentd lo carry OM the work
of the church. Can wo afford to
give a young man a leeton in the
alluring giuno of chance for tbo
pitiful Hum of ten cent * ? But
some one will euy this in not gam
bling , and I say that cider that has
just beguu to gut sharp is not alco
holic , but knowing the tondcnoy of
humanity to run riot when it is
started , there is danger in the cider ,
aud so it is in the other case. To
bo sura , 1 would not say that every
one that attended the sooialn enit-
inor.ttod above would boooruti a
confirmed gambler , but I would say
thorn is danger. The history of
.tmbling IH that the devotee Joes
tot gamble Holely for the gain
hero is iii it , but inoro to hatiafy
the morbid desire for iti ncductivo
charms. So my advice would be ,
if we cau not run the aH'nirH of this
city without iho money received
from the cane-rack , the knife-rack
or the money-rack , we had better
give up our city government. If
we can not run our chinches by the
plan originated by God Almighty ,
and followed by the apostlo.s , thoi
wo had better become converted ,
oloar down to our pocket books ,
then I am sure the free will olTor-
ings will eomi in to such an extent
that all qiiofitionablt : methods would
bo relegated and thrown aside *
