until peace was declared, when they
were mustered out. Frank, on being
questioned concerning the treatment the
boys received while there, states that he
got enough of it and under no consider

list under such officers, who through
their incompetency are solely to blame
for the manner in which the boys were
treated. Bellwood Gazette.

closed for the winter. During the past
season the show has traveled a distance
of 10.253 miles, using the tracks of forty
different railroads, through twenty-six
different states. Their most easterly

The Business Men's Carnival, given
for the benefit of the Congregational
church, last Tuesday evening, drew a
very good audience, considering so
many were in Omaha. The entertain

indeed it was exceedingly interesting

The farmer who raises something of
a number of products suitable to the
climate, and does this each year, is the
one who is apt to realize the best for
his work. This year, now, the potatoes
promise to be an extra good price; next
year it msy be something else, but even
then, potatoes will doubtless pay. The
Cedar Rapids Outlook says: T. W.
Saunders has about 900 bushels of very
fine Irish potatoes this year and is sell
ing them st 40 cts. a bushel. Of coarse
the home demand ia limited and the
market may shut down on him before
he disposes of his entire crop, bat even
if he has to ship at thirty or thirty-five
cents a bushel he will make more than
he coald have made from a crop of wheat

late Monday night arriving here at

Galbraith was one of the passengers,

John Sturgeon, every time he comes
back from a trip into the far west is
more thoroughly imbued with the no
tion that Nebraska is as near an earthly
paradise as humanity is likely to see.
This last trip he has been as far west as
Stockton, California, and he tells some
marvelous things about the wonderfully
dry weather they have been subject to
there the past season. One man walked
two miles snd a half every day so as to
be able to sleep in a tunnel st night
where it would be comfortably cool, the
thermometer registering 126 degrees
above zero daring the day. Grapes and
figs dried np. In the Merced valley, the
dry weather has been truly distressing
the Btreams nearly gone dry, and stock
suffering for water, and nothing but oak
leaves on which to live. At one place
where he was buying csttle, out of a
bnnch of fifteen hundred, he couldn't
find a single car load of twenty-two
that were strong enough to bear ship

Montana or Nevada or California, he
didn't feel anything like at home. In
Colorado it is somewhat different, but
give him Nebraska every time for enter
prise, life, business, stir and progress.
In California, it seemed that everybody

He will be back in two or three months,
if things come np all right

Admiral Dewey captured a ship load
of clothing, hats,rshoes about two weeks
sgo; and they are going to give ns sll a
suit hat and a pair of shoes.
Things are cheap here. Yoa can buy
a Chinese silk mullsr for 50 cents of
their money, which is equal to 25 cents
of oars. Everything is cheap.
I hare a few relies that I would like
to get home&two Spanish knives, some
shells, and several other things. Most
of the boys have something that they
want to take home, but I don't think we
can take them.
All the boys are getting white clothes;
what we have are too hot We can get
a suit of white here for $1.50.
We go on guard about every other day.
We are gettiBg pretty fair food. We

Dkab Folks at Home:
There are rumors that the Nebraska
regiment are liable to go home for the
Exposition, bat we have no faith in it
The rainy season is nearly over, and
we are glad of it but they tell us it will
be pretty hot here during the months
from now to Msy. We think we can
stand the dry weather better than the
wet
The boys are all well, but they are
nearly all homesick.
I am sitting where I can look out of
the second story window of a custom
house across the Pasig river right into
the walled city, and out on the bay, can
see Dewey's fleet the English fleet, all
the transports, Cavite, eighteen miles
a grand sight, indescribable on paper.
The Fourth expedition is in the bay,
but Captain Kilian or the recruits have
not yet been beard of.
I am planning to take a trip out into
the mountains as Boon as the insurgents
lay down their arms. I am more afraid
of the gorillas thsn I am of the insurg
entsthere are great bands of them.
September 3.
I was glad to see your welcome letters
of July 23 and 24, with flowers from our
own garden, but sorry to know that
Mama had been sick.
I suppose before this reaches you, we
shall know whether we stay here or re
turn home. The boys aro standing the
atay well. The nights are cool enough
to sleep under a blanket Business is
rushing here now, but we. I mean the
boys, do not have much liberty, going
on guard every other day, and cannot
go outside of regimental lines. I have
lost about twenty pounds since I left
'Frisco, but I feel fine.
Well, we are all hoping to get home
for the last month of the Exposition, so
good-bye.
Your loving son and brother,
Chas. J. Miner.
