With the Catholic TgU school to the west and hospital east of them, they have one of the strong- t est organizations in the county. The first church was organized in 1860 and was a little log cabin. Father Fonrmont was the first priest and after six years, Father Ryan came, remaining until 1892. The first members of the church, were: John Haney, James Haney, John Browner, Pat Murray, Henry Carrig, David Carrig, James Carrig, John Deneen, Michael Deneen, Ed. Hayes, Thos. Lynch, Mrs. Dunlap, James Conway and Mrs. Brady. In 1877, Father Ambrose came and organized the St Francis Catholic society. The Monastery was built at an expense of $5,600. The church was originally a frame building, part of which is now in the dwelling house of Mr. Sohroeber. The first large church was built in 1881, at an expense of $8,000. In 1891 an ad dition was made, extending the building to the west, making it as it stands now, about 120 feet long by 40 feet wide, this improvement costing some $2,000. Father Ambrose is now in Herman, Missouri. Father Ambrose was succeeded by Father Wenddelinus in 1880, who remained until 1881, going to Germany, where he died. Father Dominic remained here from 1861 to'1882 and is now in Washington, Missouri. He was succeeded by Father Seraphin, who remained until 1887, and is now located in California. Father Pacificus was here from 1887 to August, 1894, when he went to Chicago and ia now in Memphis, Tennessee. From 1894 to 1895 Father Maurice who ia now in St Joseph church, Omaha, had charge of the church here, since when Father Marcelinee has been the priest, and is a great favorite with all his people. In 1894, a basement was built to the north of the church, a long building to hold weekday services in, at a cost of $2,000. At present there are three priests and two attendants living in the Monastery. The congregation of the church number over one thousand people, representing two hundred families. Father Anastasius, who was for eome time priest at Duncan, making his home here, died the 12th of March, 18K. Rot.

Frank Parker, a Nebraska pioneer, died last Thursday evening at his home in Merrick county. He located on a ranch on the Platte river in 1861, where he has since resided. A special to the Omaha World-Herald says: "At the time he located here there were less than a dozen families in the county. Then the trading was done at Omaha, the milling at Fort Calhoun and the nearest railroad station was Marengo, Iowa. To the early emigrants Parker's ranch was nearly as well known as the famous "Lone Tree" stage station, whioh was three miles west of Parker's. Several times during the early '608 there were numerous Indian scares, but through it all Mr. Parker atuck to his ranch and had witnessed many changes in Nebras ka. He leaves a wife, three sons and two daughters. The funeral will be held Saturday, under the auspices of the Odd Fellows, of which order Mr. Parker was a member."

A rumor is current at army headquart ers that by January 1 five thousand sol diers will be concentrated at San Fran cisco to embark for the Philippines. It is said that the Third, Fourth, Fifth, Seventh, Thirteenth and. Twentieth in fantry have been assigned to, duty on Lthe islands and that some of the volun teers stationed there will be returned to this country for mustering out. The Twentieth United States infantry at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, a regi ment that was in all the fighting around Santiago, received orders Monday to be in readiness to more on short notice. The officers had some days ago been notified to make requisition for such clothing and supplies as will be needed in a tropical climate. It is- thought that it is destined to send the regulars to Manila to relieve one of the volunteer regiments or to increase, the force already in the island of Luzon. The regiment still lacks about 175 men of its war foot ing, but is rapidly being recruited to its full strength. Frank V. Welch, under date of Octo ber 20, writes from Manila to his father and mother: I am still alive but very homesick, and hope that we will not have to stay here two years, we neara last mgnt mat we would leave here soon. What do yon think about it? I have had bad luck- robbed of $11. When we get only $15.20 and have to spend considerable of it for things to eat, it comes pretty tough to be robbed. With his letter, Frank sends to Tax Journai. Vol. 1, No. 2 of the Manila Times, published October 12, the only American daily paper in the Philippines. An editorial on "The Pros and Cone of Annexation" is about the most just and reasonable presentation of it that we have read. RESOLUTIONS OF CONDOLENCE. Manila, P. I. Oct 5, 1898. Whereas, God in his infinite wisdom has removed from our midst private T. H. Larson, who, as our comrade in arms, earned the respect of the entire company by his patient and soldierly conduct in times of hardship and peril and gentle manly oenavior to ail nis associates, ana . Whereas, We in this hour of sadness, faintly realizing the sorrow of bis par enta, wish to lighten their burden of enef. Therefore be it Besolved, That we, officers and enlisted men of Co. K, First Regiment Nebraska TJ. S. Volunteers, extend our sympathy to the parents and relatives of our deceased comrade in their sad bereave ment, and beg them to assuage their grief by the thought that he died in the fulfillment of his duties to his country and his God. Furthermore be it Resolved. That copies of these resolu tions be sent to bis parents and relatives and to the papers of Waboo, Nebraska, Columbus, Nebraska, and Strand, Iowa. Committee. Manila, October 23. M. K. Tohneb, Editor Journal, Dear Friend and Nbiohbor: The boys at present are in better health than for many months. We have still seven at the brigade hospital and twice that num ber ill in quarters. They are all improv ing and will pull through all right. We lost a Mr. Larson, private of K company on October 3, '98. He was buried at Molota grave yard. The cemetery is a beautiful place. Almost every species of the various families of tropical vegeta tion is reproduced in the incloeureof the stone walL Last Tuesday the company erected a headstone to the grave. It was a cloudy day with a little rain at inter vals. The cemetery is two miles from our quarters and all rode in the native transfers. The sudden removal from the company of one of our best members was a bard oiow on us. ah vowea, eacn individually to himself and some openly to all. that they would take more caution and better care of themselves than ever heretofore. The resolutions drawn up by an appointed committee, after the death of Private Larson, have been for warded to yon by the committee or I would inclose them. Our hopes of returning before spring are again dissolved. The boys are feel ing that they will be exposed to the fevers of the torrid zone for at least five months longer. Yet the sick, the mar ried men aad those pursuing profes sional life have a report that their trans portation ia soon at hand. Hope it is true, yon can guess why. Yet my desire is like that of the regiment all should be given a discharge at the end of the war we enlisted to fight in. This country is not a God-forsaken country aa some have said. I never, until very lately, knew what these islands were. The only objection we have com ing is that we don't get enough privilege to enjoy the long hours. In the first place we should have a larger income and second more freedom, with less guard daty. To giva yon soaM idea of the grandeur of tham MtawaajlaKk I wiU relate to CHRISTMAS IS COMING !

"" ! ETABLES Eleventh Street, - you a day's trip up the Passig river. It was but last Friday that Privates Hock enbery, Connelly and I, undertook to spend a day in the mountains that are so clearly visible from the city. It is nee less to state how the distance fooled us. Our first step was to get natives to row us up the stream. We got into a little bark canoe and with these Philippines at oars, we sped on. Our first hour was spent in. the city limits. On both banks of the river were beautiful structures with fine yards. All these buildings are inclosed, either by stone wall or high fences cf wood or iron. The minute a white man comes into the city of Manila he knows that it is filled with robbers and murderers. Every window is barred and all doors too. We sailed beneath the Manila suspension bridge and numerous others, seemingly, everlasting bridges. On arrival at our outpost, we were stopped. Pass was called for and we hung our heads low. Finally the guard informed us of a route by land and water where we could get through with out being discovered by our men: We sent our natives on up the stream and took to foot. After crossing two branches of the Passig and tramping three miles through mud, grass and timber, we arrived in the Philippino quarters. The Philippino guide with us held a short conversation with the sentinel and then we marched on. They showed nothing but friendship towards the Americans. At one time one informed us of two TJ. S. officers who were riding on Philippino bronchoes and in our road. We knew it was time to hide, and for the first time for many months all three of us crawled behind a stone wall. They rode past and wo pon tided down sand once again. The soil is not really sand, but a mixture. On arriving at the river bank our two Philippinoa were not to be found. We stopped here and partook of the bread and salmon that we bad brought from quarters. This was a kind of a station for row boats, and immediately after dinner we hired another boat and went sailing up the river at full speed. The water is slack, which was our benefit in facing it. Our men rowed some five miles per hour. On leaving the last named station the beautiful scenery began. To our left were visible the green covered mountains, no more than five miles distant. They appeared large and beautiful. On our right- was timber. dense enough to be a jungle. The entire bank is interspersed with native dwelling places. The Philippinoa do not desire an open space for a dwelling' place. It seems as though the more timber they can get around the house, the better they like it. Further on. we passed by stone quarries. The stone seems to be nothing but lava from ancient volcanoes. The quarries are some distance from the bank. They transfer the rocks by means of two-wheeled trucks, with the power of a water-buffalo prefixed. The wheels of the trucks are 12 feet in diameter. After reachinar the Quarries the left bank, that is our left bank in ascending the river, is some 150 feet high. It is easy to climb. as it is not vertical. Here we stopped and ascended to the top of the foot hills. We had gone some ten miles by this time. The course of the river is so irreg ular that we found ourselves entirely surrounded by mountains, even toward Manila, stall to the northeast, wnicn was our main direction, we could see the river wind, and some ten miles further on we could- partially see the lake, from where tae river takes its source, xne soil U is very fertile, but there is not much it U thatleaality.

Our quarters are Bear, the month of the river, where hardly any vegetation is insight. It is too bad that oar oameers do not realize the enormous good that a trip like that does the tired, disgusted soldier who has nothing to do bat the monotonous guard daty. Should they realise the benefit; they would make use of1 the nanwroas launches that lie ia the river and bay. As it is at present, one cannot leave the city uulese he beats the guards. And if one does beat the guard and an officer discovers the breach of orders and the carelessness of the guard woe be with both of them. In our trip I must not forget the one incident which occurred on oar return. We put down the side flaps on the right side so that our guard should not see us. Little did we think of Aquinaldo's guards, when we were at one of his sentinel's posts. The sentinel called for us to stop and give "passe." We had not heard of native guards and refused to acknowledge him. He hastened the call to his guard hoase but too late to stop the three Americanos, who were then far down the stream. Well, to end the tale, we arrived at quarters in time for dress-parade (5 p. in.), well satisfied with onr, just then, closiBg day's labor. Aguinaldo is not hostile to Americana. He only keeps the army to fight Spain, if needs be. The Malocos, a northern tribe, has given us until next Tuesday to vacate the city. They are a rude, uncivilized race and want to fight for spoil solely. Agui naldo sent a message to Gen. Ottis, stating that he dislikes the move of that race; that they were none of his men; and that if Gen. Ottis permits, be will send a detachment of 2.000 Philippines to intercept them on their march. The reply is not known, but if it was my tarn to make one I should willingly, say go and give them' brim-stone. The various Philippine tribes are in war all over the island. They fight, who knows for what? ' It is the nature of these people to fight until death. They think but little to aee oae of their number fall. They are very religions, aad while they were allowed to carry anna in our presence, we could see them in church with the full equipment. Every oae carried a large dagger. They surely do the same outside of Manila at this time. When I passed their posts lsst Friday I examined several guns and their ammunition. They keep tbeir guns clean and carry brass bullets ia their cartridges. This letter is getting rather long, so I mast quit at this point. Best wishes to all tbeColambna peo ple. Hope that they will all live to hear the tales of war that the saeatbsrs of company K are hokuag ia reserve on their retara. Yours respectfully.
