soldiers:
"Manila, April 23.
Adjutant General, Washington: A re
connoisance on Quengua place, six miles
northeast of Malolos, made by Major
Bell and a troop of cavalry this morning,
resulted in contact and battle, in which
four battalions of infantry and four
pieces of artillery became engaged. En
emy driven from entrenchments with
considerable loss. Our casualties quite
severe. Col. Stotsenberg and Lieuten
ant Sisson, First Nebraska, killed; also
several enlisted men. Considerable
number wounded; not yet reported.
Ons."
Further press dispatches give some
particulars from which we glean. Two
privates of the Nebraska regimeat and
three of the Fourth cavalry were killed
names not given. Of the forty-four
wounded "most of them" are said to be
long to the First Nebraska, and these
names we are likely to get before this
goos to press.
The insurgents had a horseshoe trench,
about a mile long, encircling a rice field
on the edge of a wood. Major Bell,
with forty cavalrymen, encountered a
strong out-poet. One of the men was
killed and five were wounded by a volley.
The Americans retired, carrying
their wounded, under fire and
with great difficulty, being very
closely pursued, a fog enabling the
enemy to creep up to them. Two men
who were carrying a comrade were shot
in the arms, but they continued with
their burden.
Major Bell sent for reinforcements to
rescue the bodies of the killed cavalry
men and a battalion of the Nebraska
regiment, under Major Mulford, arrived
and advanced until checked by volleys
from the enemy's trenches. The Amer
icans lay about 800 yards from the
trenches, behind rice furrows, under fire
for two hours.
Several men were sunstruck, one dy
ing from the effects of the heat, as they
lay there waiting for the artillery to
come up.
Finally the Second battallion arrived,
and then Col. Stotsenberg, who had
spent the night with his father at Ma
nila, came upon the field. The men
immediately recognized him and raised
a cheer.
STOTSENBEBQ INSTANTLY KILLED.
Colonel Stotsenberg, deciding to charge
as the cheapest way out of the difficulty,
led the attack at the head of his regi
ment. He fell with a bullet in the
breast, dying instantly, about 200 yards
from the breastworks.
Lieutenant Sisson fell with a bullet
in his heart, the bullet striking him near
the picture of a girl suspended by a
ribbon from his neck.
In the meantime the artillery had ar
rived and shelled the trenches. The
Filipinos stood until the Nebraska troops
were right on the trenches and then
they bolted to the second line of in
trenchments, a mile back.
Besides the casualties to the Nebras
ka regiment, the Iowa regiment had
several wounded and the Utah regiment
one omcer and three men. Thirteen
dead Filipinos were found in the
trenches. Their loss was comparatively
small on account of their shelter. The
Americans carried the second trench
with small loss and were holding the
town Sunday night the time of dis
patch, 9:30, p. m.
SKETCH OF COLONEL STOTSENBERG.
Colonel John Miller Stotsenberg was
born in Indiana November 24, 1856, and
appointed a cadet at the Military ac
ademy July 1877, and graduated num
ber forty-one in his class. He was ap
pointed second lieutenant of the Sixth
cavalry in 1881 and became a captain
December 14, 1898. He served with his
regiment in Arizona and New Mexico
from 1877 to 1890, to the close of the
latter year, 'participating in the Sioux
campaign in the action at Wounded
Knee. He served at Fort Niobrara three
years, at Fort Myer, near Washington,
and then at Fort Leavenworth, where
he graduated with distinguished honors,
and was afterwards professor of military
science and tactics at the University of
Nebraska. He was mustered in as
Major of the First Nebraska on May 9,
1896, and as colonel November 10, 1898.
He sailed with his regiment for Manila
June 15. Mrs. Stotsenberg joined her
husband in the Philippines last Decem
ber. Deceased leaves two children,
both girls, aged 8 and 10 years, respect
ively, both of whom are now with friends
at Leavenworth.
Since the fighting began, the boys in
the field, have been constant and very
emphatic in their praise of Col. Stotsen
berg, and probably there was no braver
soldier on the island.

Parents and guardians, in behalf of
the children, and the children, for them
selves, should avoid the numerous papers
that are sent broadcast through the
mails as sample copies, which are filled
with very questionable advertisements,
snd are just as meanly suggestive as
they can be and yet avoid the liability
to be 6hut out from the mails. A little
time taken to see clearly the character
of the papers cannot but result in great
good. All kinds of schemes are resorted
to, to make money without working for
it The victims are generally the young
and inexperienced; the old that are fool
ish; the cunning and villainous; the
sick and the afflicted; credulity is played
upon; passion is aroused; cupidity is
tempted; the longing for health is used
as a foundation for the most dishonest
line ot business in the country, and they
all seemingly have lists of the school
children of the entire country.

TkraaKk Toarirt Sleeper te the Northwest
The Burlington Route has established
a twioe-a-wsek tourist car line from Kan
sas City to Butte, Spokane, Tacoma and
Seattle.
Cars leave Kansas City, Lincoln and
Grand Island every Tuesday and Thurs
day, arriving at Seattle following Friday
and Sunday. They are upholstered in
rattan. The bed linen and furnishings
are clean and of good quality. The
heating, ventilating and toilet arrange
ments are all that can be desired and
each car is in charge of a uniformed
Pullman porter, whose sole duty is to
attend to the wants of passengers.
Cars run through without change of
any kind and the berth rate from Lin
coln to Tacoma or Seattle is only $5.00.
To intermediate points, it is propor
tionately low.
Montana and the Puget Sound coun
try are now enjoying a period of unex
ampled prosperity. As a consequence,
travel to the Northwest is rapidly attain
ing large proportions. This new tourist
car line has been established with a view
of caring for the Burlington's share ot it

Salt Licks on CattleY Backs.
Gus Stewart, one ot our best farmers
near Wildie, Ky., called to see us while
in town the other day, and while here
gave us an idea ot salting cattle. He
says, always put the salt on the backs
of the cattle and not on the ground. By
so doing the salt works through the hair
and forces the cattlo to lick themselves,
which keeps the hair nice and glossy.
Should there be any wolves in their
backs or vermin on them tho salt de
stroys them on short notice. Ho claims
that he has followed this plnn of salt
ing for 15 years and always haB nice,
hoaltby cattle. He says when he starts
into the pasture with a sack of salt
every cow begins licking, its back.

THE FAMOUS GIN LAW.
Haw It Waa Received aatl Evaded hj th
Eaclbh Public
This famous "gin law," passed in
1786. va interesting as tho earliest se
vere blow at liquor dealing among civ
ilized nations. It levied a tax of 20s. a
gallon on spirits, and a license of 50
for any one celling or dealing in them.
And, being iu advauce of public opin
ion, it failed, much as other more
stringent prohibition laws have failed
in onr own day. For tha cry was at
once raised that it taxod the poor man's
gin and let tho rich man's wiuo go
free. Every wit. every caricaturist, had
bis fling at it. Ballads were hawked
around telliug of the approaching
death of Mother Gin. The liqnor shops
were hung with black and celebrated
uproariously lime. Geneva's lying in
state, her funeral, her waLo and so on.
The night before tho law went iuto
effect, eo tho contemporary journal
say, thero was a universal revel all
over the country. Every one drank his
fill aud carried home as much gin be
sides as li could pay far.
'lo cya;:o tho law apothecaries sold
it iu vials and small packages, some
times colored aud disguised, generally
under false labels, such as "Colic
Water," "Afako Shift," "Ladies' Da
light. " Thero were printed directions
on somocf these packages e. g., "Take
two or three spoonfuls three or four
times a day, or as often as the fit takes
you. " Informers were very prominent
and exceedingly offensive, inventins
snares to catch lawbreakers for the sake
of the heavy rewards, and spying and
sneaking around iu a way particularly
distasteful to the English mind. In con
sequence they suffered iu their turn.
The mere cry, "Liquor spy!" was
enough to raise a mob iu tho London
streets, and the informer was lucky if
he escaped with a sound thrashing and
a ducking in tho Thames or the nearest
horse pond. Indeed, such an outcry was
made about the matter that tho minis
try became very unpopular, and the
law was not enforced after two or three
years, and was largely modified in 1743,
after seven years' trial. Popular Sci
