DEAR Folks AT HOMR:

DEAR Folks At HONE:
There are rumors that the Nebraska
regiment are liable to 60 home for the
Exposition, but We have no faith in it.
The rainy season is nearly over, and
We are glad Of it, but they tell us it will
be pretty hot here during the months
from now to May. We think We can
stand the dry weather better than the
wet.
The boys are all we'll. but they are
nearly all homesick.
I am sitting where / can look out of
the second story window Of custom
house across the Pasig river right into
the walled city, and out on the bay, can
see Deweys tieet, the English fleet, all
the transports, Cavite, eighteen miles
"A grand sight, indescribabls on paper.
The Fourth expedition is in the bay,
but Captain Kilian or the recruits have
not yet been heard Of.
lam planning to take a trip out into
the mountains as soon as the insurgents
lay down their arms. am more afraid
Of the gorillas than I am of the insurg-
ents-there are great bands OF them.
September g.
Twas glad to see your welcome letters
OF July q and "A, with flowers from our
own garden, but sorry to know that
Mama had been sick.
I suppose before this reaches you, We
shall know whether We stay here or re-
turn home. The boys are standing the
stay we'll. The nights are cool enough
to sleep under q blanket. Business is
rushing here now, but we. I mean the
boys, do not have much liberty, going
on guard every other day, and cannot
60 outside Of regimental lines. I have
lost about twenty pounds since 1 left
Frisco, but I feel fine.
Well, We are all hoping to get home
for the last month of the Exposition, so
goodbye.
Your loving son and brother,

COmnendable Enterprise.

The Sisters hospital is one Of the
great interests OF this section of Nebras-
ka, known far and wide, and appreciated
at it's full worth by all who have felt it's
kindly glow Of warmth and cheer. All
who have, during sickness and trouble,
tarried within its pleasant lines, can
testify to its work and its worth.
The gentle Sisters desire to mako i'm
provement-they wish to secure water
works and sewerage, and are planning
so as to bring about their wish.
Some time during the middle Of No
vember fair will be held, and all friends
are requested to do what they really feel
like doing to help along the good cause.

John Sturgeon, every time he comes
back from trip into the far west, is
moro thoroughly imbued with the no
tion that Nebraska is as near an earthly
paradise a. humanity is likely to see.
This last trip he has been a. far west as
Stockton, California, and he tells some
marvellous things about the wonderfully
dry weather they have been subject to
there the past season. One man walked
two miles and q half every day 90 as to
be able to sleep in . tunnel at night
where it would be comfortably cool, the
Thermometer registering 126 degrees
above zero during the day. Grapes and
fgs dried up. In the Merced valley, the
dry weather has been truly distressing
the streams nearly gone dry, and stock
suffering for water, and nothing but oak
leaves on which to live. At one place
where he was buying cattle, out Of q
bpnch OF fifteen hundred, he couldn't
find single car load Of twenty-five
that were strong enough to bear ship
ment. Mr.. Sturgeon says whether in
Montana or Nevada or California, he
didn't feel anything like at home. In
Colorado it is somewhat different, but
give him Nebraska every time for enter
prise, life, business, stir and progress.
In California, it seemed that everybody
was simply waiting for death, and he
says he'd "rather be dead in Nebraska,
than live corpse in Californis."

A reward of SIS is offered for the con-
viction OF the thief and return of the
goods.
Entrance was made through the front
door by a key of some sort, it being but
an ordinary lock. The window blinds
which had been left up, were pulled
down. Matches had been used from the
match box in the kitchen, and were left
scattered around on the carpet. Ap-
parently, the upstairs part Of the house
was undisturbed.
