THE CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH, of which we give a picture, ia one of the
largest and prettiest in oar city, and is located on the corner of 14th and
Olive.
The first church organization in oar city was formed on October 4th,
1866, with a membership of six persons. The first building was the building
now belonging to the Baptists. In the purchasing of the building the Congre
gational members bought the property, thus making the church their denomin
ation. The second church was the buildings now occupied by Mnrdock, and Becher,
Jaeggi k Co, and stood on the corner of 13th and North.
The present church was built in "91 at a cost of $5p00. Last year the ladies
pat in $650 in carpets, pews, etc Tlie church is free from debt, and has been self
supporting for ten years or more. The membership numbers 120, all good workers.
The several pastors who have been here from first to last are: Henry E.
Brown, four and a half months; J. B. Chase, one year; J. E. Elliott, four years; C
C Starbuck, sxz months; Thos. Bane, two years; E. L. Sherman, three years and
six months; John Gray, two years; Bev. Morton, three months; W. S. Hunt, one
year; T. W. Cole, one year and the present pastor A. J. Rogers wfll have been here
five years by next May.
Beside the church property, the congregation own a beautiful little parson
age on 17th and North street, valued at $L500.
Tke Fair.
The entertainments, etc, given for the
purpose of raising money for use of the
Sisters' hospital in making needed im
provements, sewerage and waterworks,
were held at Maennerchor hall and were
attended by crowded houses each of the
three evenings, and netted very close to
eight hundred dollars. Without distinc
tion of political party, all that patronized
the fair were sound-money people, as
there was not a false coin in the entire
number of contributions or sales.
Those who heard the lecture of Rev.
Father Gleaaon of South Omaha, upon
reminiscences of his travels in the Orient
missed a rare treat indeed. He ia an
unusually interesting word-painter, and
the lecture was highly appreciated by
those present.
The Maennerchor and the Columbus
orchestra furnished several music num
bers, and a light lunch, was served.
Thursday evening; the sapper was the
special feature besides the fair.

The Chiasm resort to various methods
to smuggle sninuuon. which there is a ,
heavy duty. One of their schemes is to 1
miz it in jags of oil to bring: it on shore
aad then aiparata it from the oil by some t
mesne known only to themselves. Iam
getting onto the racket and can detect

T have charge of patrol every third day f
and rather like it except that one is out
an night, and the night air is verv 1
unhealthy in this climate We get duty '
ortener tnsn some of the regiments. I
that ie because the Nebraska
regiment has the reputation of being- one
of the beat daty regiments in brigade.
We are more comfortably fixed than
we were when I last wrote. We were
furnished with canvas cots a few days
aincev- and I assure yoa we appreciated
them after sleeping-on a stone floor with
no matti ess but a blanket.
Our rations are much better as we
now get fresh meat three times a week,
it consists of frozen beef and mutton
from Australia and is as cood as anv-
raased and fed ia the United Statee.
The doctors have ordered our meat
ratkra cut down, aad our ration of rice
and canned tomatoes increased. I think
it a wise plan as much meat is too heat
ing- a diet for this climate. A great
many of the men are sick with malarial
fever which, though not very dangerous,
reduces a man so that he is not fit for
duty for a long- time. Fully one-third
of the regiment are on the sick list and
that causes duty to fall of tener on those
who are well. I thihkr most of the men
have themselves to blame, as thev do
not take proper care of themselves.
ltus regiment has lost nve men from
sicken as since we came into the city.
My health is better now than it was at
first, though I have not been seriously
sick at any time and have only missed
two days duty since leaving San Fran
cisco. I think I am getting- acclimated.
There are a great many cases of dysen
tery but I think that" wfll cease with a
change of rations. We don't know
when we shall be sent home, but most
of us hope it will be soon.
We have an hour's drill with arms and
fifteen minutes calisthenics every morn
ing, then we have to clean up onr quart
ers and wash our white uniforms and aU
oar other clothing. In the evening- we
have dress parade and retreat. The
days we are on duty we have only the
morning drills, and then duty for twenty
four hours. The natives turn cut by
thousands every night to witness dress
parade, and it is quite a pretty sight as
the men all dress in white and the women
in white with large black lace mnritilTna
and fans. Hats are never worn by the
women here.
The streets are narrow in most parts
of the city and are not straight by any
means. The buildings are not laid out
in blocks and it puzzles a person to find
his way without" making- a long detour,
till he gets used to the crooks and turns.
None of the buildings are more-than two
stories high as they have earthquakes
here that shake things up (or rather
down) once hi a while. The upper story
projects over the side-walk and affords a
shade and protection from rain. The
side-walks are so narrow that it is diffi
cult to pass people in the business part
of the city. The cab and street car
drivers drive very fast and it-is a wonder
there are not more accidents in these
narrow streets. The cab horses are only
ponies weighing about 800 pounds, but
they pull a two-wheeled cab holding four
people at a good pace and when well fed
have high life. All the heavy work is
done by water-buffalo and they draw
heavy loads on two-wheeled carts. A
great deal of heavy work is done by
Chinese coolies and" the load they carry
is surprisinar. They have a piece of
springy wood about five feet long with a
hook or sling at each end and they wfll
carry 125 pounds hung on each end of
the pole at a dog trot for a mile without
resting. This is nothing unusual as they
do it day after day and trot off with. 250
pounds faster than one cores to walk to
keep up with them. They are no good
for any other work but seem to be beasts
of burden. This may sound fishy to those
who have not seen it, but I have seen it
done. When we took tf"-fl a detail of
four privates and a corporal was sent
back to camp Dewey to break camp and
pack up the baggage, tents, rations, etc
I was sent in charge of detail; all bag
gage, etc, was carried from camp to city.
a distance of three miles by coolies. I
had fifty coolies in my chanre and I
think their loads averaged lm pounds
per man as X loaded them myself, and
they carried them three miles through
the mud at a pace that made the guard
sweat to keep up with them. Their
wages are 30 csnt3 per day now and are
50 per cent higher than when we came
into the city.
There is one railroad on the island
running from Manila to Dagupan, a dis
tance of 116 miles. The engines and cars
are mere toys compared with those of
the United States. They are not so large
as the traction engine used for threshing
in Nebraska. The cars are not more
than half the size of the smallest cars we
use. They run at a rate of from 16 to 20
miles an hour.
This is a very rich country naturally,
but it needs good government and a
little American energy to give it a good
start. It has been badly governed so
long that it would take a number of
years to get things in anything like shape.
The natives are quite musical and many
of them are excellent performers on all
kinds of stringed instruments. I have
heard Agnfnaldo's band but don't con
sider it anything- extra.
Our brigade has a review this after
noon, the first since we took Manila, so
I will have to close and set ready. I

The Jouuai. believes that it is the
part of wisdom for the friends of the
soldiers at Manila and on the way there,
to be as contented as possible with the
situation and make the best of it. Those
who are sick and cannot regain their
health there should be brought home of
course, but those who are well, should
take the situation as kindly as they pos
sibly can. There wfll be more soldiers
sent; probably those who hare been
there, may be allowed to come home,
when the others arrive or shortly there
after. These things depend upon the
exigencies of the service. Nobody knows
what the needs wfll be. We all hope for.
the best, and that those who wish may
come home soon.
