November 10 to December 21.
How to prevent such great fire losses
as the American people have sustained
is one of the most important problems
for our publicists. Last year the loss
was $153397,830, nearly one-half as much
as last year's wheat crop. The man
who can devise a method of saving any
good ratio of this vast sum will prove a
public benefactor.

Lobo, Wahb, Blanco, Molly Cotton
tail, Redruff, Silverspot, and all the
other animals of the plain and forest
that Ernest Seton-Thompson has known
and written about, will shortly appear
as stage characters in a play for children.
There have been such persistent calls
for more of Lobo's, Wahb's, and their
comrades' adventures, that Mr. Thomp
son has consented to put all his wild
acquaintances on the 6tago and let each
one tell its own joys and sorrows in song
and story, and dance and make merry.
Costumes have been specially designed
by R. B. Birch, who illustrated and
staged "Little Lord Fauntleroy," for
each of his animal characters, ho that
the children of the play will exactly re
semble the originals of "Wild Animals I
Have Known." There are seventeen
characters in the play, which can be
acted in half an hour. It has been se

Postmaster General Smith in his
letter of instructions to Joseph L. Bris
tow, concerning the manner in which he
is to proceed in the prosecution of per
sons guilty of frauds on the mail service
in Cuba, closes with this paragraph,
which will receive the approval of all
right-minded people:
"You are chosen for this duty with the
approval of the president, who is deeply
shocked at the shameful betrayal of
trust on the part of the officials in whom
confidence had been reposed nnd who
directs that in dealing with all irregu
larities which have been or may be dis
closed the sole rule of action shall be
thorough and complete investigation,
the rigorous and unsparing prosecution
of all guilty persons and their swift and
certain punishment."
Ik the days before fusion was adopted
in Nebraska, the three parties were
pretty evenly divided, the republicans
having a few more than one-third of the
votes. Last year the republicans had
nearly one-half the votes in the state.
This shows that a steady gain has been
made, and every indication points to a
further gain this year. With concerted
and vigorous effort Nebraska will be
placed in the republican column this
year. Albion News.
Nebraska, the home of Bryan, is
probably the greatest corn producing
state in the Union; these figures, there
fore, should prove of interest to the far
mers of that state. In 1895 the planters
of the United States exported 27,091,137
bnshels of corn. Last year there were
exported 174,099,094 bushels. The com
parison presents an eloquent argument
to the farmer in favor of continued re

As there ib some slight prospect of the
United States and Turkey having a
little trouble if the latter don't liqui

may expect democratic platform makers

do so to be consistent and treat all the

THE PHILIPPINES.
An LUaresting; Letter from a Soldier
Boy Camfaigftng; ii the
Far East.
(Continued from last issue.)
Daet, Luzon, P. L, March 12, 1900.
We delayed at Laend only long enough
to bury the two dead soldiers of Co. B.
It was hard to bury them there among
the mountains and leave their graves to
none but the Filipinos to care, just in
that town, I'm thinking. But that is
one of the hard things in being a soldier,
and really it doesn't matter.
By a hard march we managed to reach
the Venus, or rather the shore where she
lay, just at dusk. C and D companies
and we who were with them had march
ed 2G miles since C o'clock that
morning. It was raining hard and the
surf was high. Four boats managed to
get to the ship but ii became darker and
and the surf became higher and it was
dangerous to get off more boats. So.
wet as they were, they bad to wait until
next morning to come aboard.
A grey dawn came next morning that
didn't brighten much and we got the
men aboard the ship. Got them on
decks, over-crowded at that, which were
lightly covered with fine brown dust or
ashes, and now we found it in the air;
you could hardly open your eyes, and it
began to grow dark again. The volcano
Mayan was in eruption and it was not
long before the decks were covered with
nearly a quarter inch of brown ashes.
The men were thoroughly miserable.
There was no cabin for them to go into,
four hundred of them were lying in the
ashes in their wet clothes, and there was
nothing to do but endure it. About
noon it grew a little brighter, and we
put out of the bay.
At 4 o'clock we reached San Miguel
bay and the major and I reported to
Gen. Bates on board the Paragua. a
light draft gunboat We were ordered
to take on ten days rations at daylight
and prepare to move on Daet, the. capital
of Camarines Norte. We got the rations
and in company with the Marietta and
Paragua reached Mercedes about noon
March 4. The men of B and C compa
nies and battalion headquarters were
loaded into small boats and towed into
the mouth of the river. We -were ready
to land under fire, but it was not neces
sary for we were met at the beach by a
native who told us everything was
peaceful. Nevertheless we were careful
in our movements. Mercedes is the port
for Daet, about four miles distant, and
is a small hamlet, about five or six store
warehouses for the storage of hemp.
When the men were on land we started
for Daet accompanied by several natives,
who told us that there had been a con
siderable garrison of insurrectos there
but they had left to help defend Neuva
Caceres, doubtless many of them had
died at Libmanan. We found Daet de
serted save for a few of the better class
of men, who told us that the tales spread
among the natives of the atrocities the
Americana would commit were some
thing appalling. We took quarters in
the old governor's residence and here
we are.
The next day I went back to Mercedes
with a guard and unloaded the Venus
all our company property was aboard,
besides a large consignment of rations
and sales stores. Bull carta were se
cured and in three days I had every
thing at Daet. By this time companies
A and D had arrived from Mambuloo,
about forty miles up the coast, where
they had landed and marched down,
meeting no resistance, but having had a
hard march on account of the many
rivers they had to cross, some by swim
ming and some on improviapd rafts.
The next day, March 9, companies Band
G left for Libmanan, which is to be their
station.
We are settling down here for a etav
of several months, through the rainy
season, we nave two companies, about
180 men and six oafcers.
Daet is a decayed town. We found it
nearly deserted, but the people are
coming in, a prbclamation having been
issued inviting them in. There are four
or five good stone buildings and the
ruins of half dozen more, which were
burned during previous insurrections.
The old church is an immense affair,
over two hundred years old. The other
buildings are of wood and nipa thatch,
mainly the latter. We keep on a heavy
guard, for every day some native comes
in with a tale of a band of insurrectos
three or four miles out. Today it is re
portedtbat a band at Irdan will attack
us as soon as they have their arms made.
These people don't know what they are
"up against," for they fight with .bolos,
bows and arrows and spears. On one
march we ran into a band of 13th cen
tury knights; they were mounted, and
carried long lances and spears, their only
weapons, and their leaders, who know
the truth, incite them to fight us. and
then the leaders turn Ladrones when
the bands are defeated.
This has been a rather long-drawn-out
report of a three week.-, "hike" pardon
the word, it is the ouly term we use
here, and my first experiences under fire.
Will write soon of the country and
people.
