SOLDIERS GOOD KICKERS
The Daily Fuss From the Front
Comes to Hand as Usual.

, The following letter has been received
in Topeka from a private in the Topeka
company at San Francisco:
San Francisco, Cal, May %.
/ am going to drop you a few lines
and tell you how the war is getting
along. The worst fight we have had is
to keep from eating too much-the peo-
pie here are too good to us. I went out
to supper last night and it was about
the SWEETEST meal I ever ate. We had
every course. The gentleman that gave
US the supper is an artist and swell
one too l never saw him until he in
vited me to dine with him.
Say fellows, if they ever have another
call for troops don't pay any attention
to it for soon as they get you away
from home they treat you altogether
different. They drill us six hours a day
and work US the rest of the time and
don't let US out to see the town either.
We have to run the guard line to get
out and if we are caught we go to the
guard house.
Mitch Bundy is so homesick he don't
know what to do. John Haisch is in
his element He is boss of the cook
tent Shapp, one of the privates, is
loa aiming money to the boys at 70 per
cent a month. How would you like to
loan a few dollars that way?
The Red Cross society has been feed
ing and clothing and shoeing us. The
boys have been running around bare
footed and ragged. Just think of the
United States soldiers living on charity
The Frisco papers pity us and give
Kansas a good roasting. Every state
paid it's soldiers what they owed them
yesterday.

LET THE HOLLAND GO.
Her Owners Want to Go Down
and Destroy the Spanish
Fleet.

Washington, June 4.-The owners Of
the Holland submarine boat, who had
proposed to go into Santiago harbor
and destroy the Spanish warships at so
much a vessel have come forward with
a request for a practical test by the
naval officers of their craft. The navy
department was obliged to decline to
entertain the first proposition, as it
smacked of privateering, and was in
violation of international law. The
principal objection was that the boat
could not be in regular commission and
in command of a naval officer. Besides,
they commended that she had not been
thoroughly tested. Now the boats
owners propose that a naval officer or
officers be designated to go down in the
Holland and then that she be commits
stoned.

are of the Boies type. The trucks are
diamond, with steel holsters.
Although the five engines have been
built by eastern company it should
be understood that the Santa F'e shops
at Topeka have been building the same
style of engines at the rate of one a
month. The order was placed with the
Dickson company for the reason that it
was thought impossible for the Topeka
shops to build more than twelve during
1888 and more were wanted.

ENGINEERS LONG SERVICE.
Served the Rock Island Railroad for
As Years.

Engineer James Tucker, who died at
his home in Chicago, April %, of
Bright's disease. has left behind him a
most remarkable record, and one with
which only few can be compared. In
1852 he entered the service of the Chi
cago, Rock Island & Pacific, at Peru,
Ill, as wood passer, in which capacity
he worked but a short time, when he
was put on a yard engine as fireman.
and on May 10, 1853. he was promoted
to yard engineer. From that time up
to February, 1885, he ran locomotive
on the Rock Island road. his mileage

Asthma is usually known as paroxysms of diff

days, coming intervals, to be followed by re-
missions during which the patient breathes with
comparative ease.

Coincidence at Newton.

A strange coincidence occurred not
long ago in the round house at Newton.
A man who had been firing on an en-
CINE running out of there was taken
sick and died. The caller started to
put a new name on the board in the
place of the man who had died. The
caller turned the card over bearing the
name of the man who had lately died
and on the other side was the name of
the man who had held the run before
and he too was dead.

an accident, and the only injuries sus-
tained personally by himself were a
broken wrist and a few slight injuries,
caused by losing his footing and falling
off his engine into an ash pit. Barring
this accident, during the entire As years
he never lost a day on account of sick
ness. With the exception of being suS-
pended for five days in 1892 for violat-
ing the rules in accepting release order
from train porter, his record is a per-
fectiy clear one.
