One day's corn plowing at a

get to put in. Then it rains and
they have to wait two or three
days for the ground to get dry
enough for them to go to work
again.
Two young ladies called at The
Advertiser office Saturday and
asked to see some samples of
wedding announcements, but
went away without leaving an
order, although we offered all
the inducements possible. They
promised to come back when the
day was set.
We can remember when coun
ties, townships and the grangers
used to hire rainmakers to come
into the country and try to tease
an inch of rainfall frpra the un
willing atmosphere. If the same
fellow would come along now
with a proposition to turn off the
faucet he would do a bigger bus
iness than he used to when he
was seeking to pry open the win
dows of heaven. We are better
able to pay now than we were
then. Beatrice Sun.
Rev. J. W. Sapp got a postal
card Wednesday from a J. W.
Sapp living at San Marcos, Cali
fornia. The California man had
seen Rev. Sapp's name in a pa
per, probably The Advertiser,
and wrote to find out if there
was any relationship. Rev. Sapp
was somewhat surprised to re
ceive a postal signed with his
own name, and the more so as
the handwriting was so much
like, his that it would be taken
for his at a glance. The signa
tures of the two are almost ex
actly alike.
James M. Armstrong of Au
burn is being prominently men
tioned as a candidate for a mem
ber, of the legislature this fall.
He is not making a canvas him
self and was strongly disinclined
at first to make the race, but fi
nally yielded to the solicitation
of friends and allowed his name
to be used. Few men in the
county are better fitted for that
position than is Jim Armstrong.
He is a prominent farmer and
stock raiser, is well posted on the
questions of the day, and while
conservative is in favor of the
reform movements in this state.
If elected he will take front rank
among the solid, thinking, work
ing members of the legislature.
A Letter from the
Philippine Island
Richard Scott Writes an
esting Letter
Inter-
Camp Keithley, Mindanas, P. I.,
March 24, 1908.
My Dear Friend Mr. Sanders:
Will try and write you that
letter I promised you. This
leaves me feeling fine and I hope
it will find you and all the rest of
my friends in Nemaha enjoying
good health. I received a letter
from my mother and Roy today,
and it sure makes a fellow feel
good to hear from home when he
is so far away. I get your paper
every state mail. We generally
have two and three at a time.
The Advertiser is a joy in this J
God-forsaken country. Jesse is
supposed to get your paper but
it is addressed to Co. B, 18 Inf.,
so he never sees it, and I am not
going to tell him anything about
it Would you?
Well, Mr. Sanders, we are
about 2700 feet above the sea
level and 20 miles from the sea
shore. This post is the only one
that was ever named for a pri
vate soldier. He was cut up
here a long time ago. You see
there are two posts here, Keith
ley and Marahier. Keithley is
on a large hill. It is about a half
mile to Marahier, where the lake
is. Private Keithley was walk
ing post at the lake and was
posted from the main guard
house. He carried 90 rounds of
steel jackets on post, was at
tacked by Moros, saw that his
only chance was in a running
fight, so started for .the guard
house. He would fire five shots,
then run and load his piece again.
He kept that up until he got to
the guard house. When he took
his field belt off all his intestines
dropped out. He was cut across
the stomach with a boio. The
next morning they found 14 dead
Moros and 10 round of shells in
Private Keithley' s belt. So that
is where this place got its name,
He was a private in the 28th inf.
But today there isn't so much
danger, for the Moro is afraid' of
an American except when they
run amuck. Then one of them
will fight a whole regiment.
We have ten companies and
one mountain battery here on the
bill. G and F companies are sta
tioned at the lake. Each compa
ny has about 70 men and the bat
tery has 120. We get eight and
ten nights in between guards.
All posts are double except No. 1
at the main guard. Tne man in
front carries his rifle and the one
in rear a pump shotgun loaded
with buckshot. There isn't much
danger of an attack that way.
The only unpleasant thing about
guard here is that there is hardly
ever a night but what it rains.
You have never seen it rain hard
in the states, or at least you
wouldn't think you had if you
were to walk post two hours in
some we have here. But in a
little while it is just as dry as
ever, It runs off as fast as it
falls.
There isn't any place to go here
only out in the mountains, and
you soon get tired of that. Ev
ery Thursday and Sunday the
Moros have a market over across
the lake. They sell sweet pota
toes, sugar cane, tobacco, banan
nas, cocoanuts, bread fruit, mats,
canes, brass work of all kinds,
and their women. You can buy
a dandy woman for 10 peso or $5
gold, but I am not dealing in live
stock, so haven't bought any.
The Moro goes in tribes, the
same as Indians, only very much
smaller. They have what they
,call a datto. Every datto wns
his own niggers, the same as in
slavery. Niggers are wealth
here, the dato that has the most
niggers is the richest; his niggers
or slaves work for him the same
as the American slave did; he
can sell them, man or woman,
and they will go just like a horse.
Whatever the datto says is law.
If one tribe is strong enough
to whip another the winner takes
all the other niggers that is,
what are still alive.

"Health Coffee" is really the closest
coffee imitation ever yet produced. This
clever coffee substitute was recently

nuts, etc. Really it would fool an ex

If one feels dull and spiritless, in the
spring or early summer, they call it
"Spring Fever. ' ' But there is no fever
usually. It is the after effects of our
winter habits. The nerves are mostly
at fault. Tired, worn-out nerves leave
us languid, lifeless, and without spirit
or ambition. A few doses of Dr. Snoop's
Restorative will absolutely and quickly
change all of these depressing symp
toms. The Restorative of course won't
bring you back to full health in a day
or two, but it will do enough in 48
hours to satisfy you that the remedy is
reaching that "tired spot." Druggists
everywhere are advising its use as a
splendid and prompt general tonic. It
gives more vim and more spirit to the
spoonful than any other known nerve
or constitutional tonic. It sharpens a
failing appetite, aids digestion, frees
sluggish livers and kidneys, and brings
new life, strength and ambitiou. Test
it a few days and be convinced. Dr.
W. W. Keeling.

Bladder troubles almost always result

It corrects inability to hold urine and

comes that uuplcasnut necessity of being

It stands the highest for its wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases.
Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and is
