From the Philippines.

A member of the 51st Iowa volun-
teers in writing from the Philippines
to friend in Carson valley, gives the
following points which show that
the life Of volunteers is not a bed of
rosss: -.....
The 5lst Iowa left San Francisco
with 1.058 men and officers and hes
632 able to be on duty; South Dako-
kota, 1900 with less than five hundred
on duty; Nebraska,1, $50 with less than
400 on duty; Montana 1900 less than
700; Kansas, a full complement of
1926, only $50 on duty. Now 1 will
tell you what we had to eat for the
last six weeks: Coffee, poor; water
ID terrible; sugar, mostly native, US.
ually unretined; bareback, most al
ways wormy and lndigestible; corn
beef that no one can eat, not even the
native dogs; canned beans,not 80 bad,
but very unwholesome; canned to-
matoes, the only thing that the gov.
eminent furnishes that is healthy.
Can you wonder that half the men
are off of duty? ls that the way a
nation like America should treat her
volunteers and is che keeping her
promise to US? / am afraid not. But
then they say that call is fair in love
and war;" and 1 suppose it must be
so.
Word comes that three volunteer
regiments mnst go III the morning to
drive away some Filipinos so that the
regulars may come in unhurt. We
can't Of course blame the regulars.
We know that if regular is killed
the government must get some one to
fill his place, but it does not matter
with Ls, for if we are killed our place
can be left vacant and no one will
care, except friends and relatives at
home.-Courier.

For the week ending July II, is
taken the following:
The later part of the week was very
hot but the moderately cool nights
during the first part reduced the tenn
perature to about normal, Heavy
rains and hail occurred at McDermitt
III Humboldt county on the 10Th, and
a few light sprinkIes at White, Eu-
reka county, on the 10 and 18th. The
sky was generally cloudless during
the entire week.
The weather conditions during the
past seven days were all that could
be desired for harvesting operations
and the growth Of irrigated crops. All
crops are in excellent condition and
making satisfactory progress. The
harvesting OF alfalfa is now pretty
general all over the State; In some
localities the yield is reported mnch
lighter than usual on account of the
adverse weather conditions, while in
others an average crop Is being cut.
Grain is ripening rapidly,but in some
districts prematurely on account of
the hot weather and drying winds.
The ranges in most sections are in
a poor condition ON account of pre-.

MISTAKE OF OPERATOR
NINE HORSES WE'RE KILLED
OUTRIGHT.
A Substitute Telegraph Operator Let
Freight Pass-He Has Fled Into
the Hills and Has Not Been Heard
of since-Two Dead Tramps Un-
identified.

Butte, Mont, Dec. 25.-A special to
the Miner from Missouia, Mont, says:
By a wreck on the Northern Pacific
this morning about O'Clock, six miles
east of Bearmouth. four men were kill
ed and several injured. more or less
seriously.
The dead:
ENGINEER K B. RHEIM.
FIREMAN C. A DICKSON.
TWO TRAMPS, stealing a ride.
The injured:
Brakeman Wallace Mix, who was SER
iously scalded and bruised.
Engineer j. w. Bebee. and
Conductor L. A. Yake.
Other trainnen were injured, but not
seriously. The operator at Bonito al
lowed the freight train from the west
to paee5, when it should have been held
on the siding. The train from the west
was a heavy one, in charge of Con-
at the throttleETAOI.,. I.,.onCMFWYMH
ductor Yake, with Engineer Rheim at
the throttle. The. westbound freight
was in charge of Conductor McEachen
and Engineer Besoee, and was a light
train a stock car containing seventeen
horses, and the caboose, making up
the train. Fireman Dickson and the
tramps were instantly killed Rheim
was fatally hurt and died this after
noon at the Northern Pacific hospital.
He was one of the Oldest engineers
on the road, and leaves a wife and four
children.
Brakeman Mix is son of Miles Mix,
prominent citizen of Missoula. He is
badly injured, and may not recover.
Conductor McEachen escaped with a
few light bruises. Engineer Bebee is
badly cut, but not seriously injured.
The cororer's inquest may reveal the
identity of the two tramps. The horse
car was smashed to splinters. and it is
inconceivable how any of them escaped,
but only nine were killed.
AS soon as the operator at Bonito
heard of the wreck he took to the hills
and has not been heard of. He was
a substitute. The wreck was not clear
ed away until late this evening.

an EARTHQUAKE SHAKES
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
San JacintO Almost Destroyed and Indians On Sa-
bOba Reservation Were Killed by Falling Walls.
Many Persons Rushed Wildly From Lodging Houses and
Hotels in the Early Morning at Hemt.-

Los Angeles. Cal, Dec. 25.-At AIS
o'clock this morning a severe earth
quake shock was felt over large por-
ton of southern California, the unduia-
tions lasting about twelve seconds. The
entire center of the shock appears to
have been at San Jacinto, a small town
in Riverside county. The business por-
tion of San Jacinto consists of two
blocks of two-story buildings, some of
which are built of brick. Ten or fif-
teen buildings were damaged, chimneys
being toppled over and walls cracked
and shaken The total damage at San
Jacinto and Hemit a small town near
by, is estimated at $50,0 900.
The large tourist hotel at Henlit was
damaged, and the hospital at San ia
cinto also suffered The rear wall of
the Johnson block fell. The only loss
of life so far known was at the Sa-
boba Indian reservation, where six
squaws were killed by falling walls. A
number of Indians were seriously in
jured.
Other Towns Not Damaged.
The shock was heavy at Santa Ana,
Anaheim, San Bernardine, Riverside
and other places. but no particular
damage is reported except from San
Jacinto and Hemit.
In this city no damage was done, al
though the shock was particularly vio-
lent. The hotels here are we'll filed
with eastern tourists, and they were
in many instances terrified at the un-
expected disturbances and rushed from
their rooms in fright.
Wild reports concerning the quake
soon spread like wild fire. and the tele-
graph and telephone wires between this
city and adjacent towns were kept busy
handling inquiring messages. 1t was
reported that several lives were lost

AMERICANS AT MODDER RIVER.
Two Brothers of a Minneapolis Min
lister With General Methuen

Minneapolis. Mimi, Dec. ga dis
patch from London was received this
morning by Rev. c. F. Davis, pastor Of
the Bloomington Avenue NJ. f. church,
stating that two of his brothers wera
with General Methuen's forces and were
in the thick of the fight at Modder
river.a
No "details were given except that the
dispatch indicates that the worst is to
be feared as it emphasizes the fact
that the naval brigade, of which the
two brothers were members, suffered
terribly in the battle. Mr.. Davis stated
that the information had aroused the
worst fears for the safety of his broth
ers, as he had not known before today
that they were with that division of
the naval brigade engaged at Modder
river The only detail added to the
message is that the long march of
General Methuen before the battle
caused great suffering among the men
and was one of the most severe marches
in the recent history of the British
army.

ler's Ladysmith relief column was in
battle array advancing on the Boer
positions close to the Tugela and Co
lenSo. The center consisted of an i'm
mense crowd of infantry, fianked on
each side by two batteries with strong
bodies of cavalry supporting. The Boer
artillery preserved absolute silence, not
disclosing its position.
Two batteries came within rife dis
tance of our foremost position and then
opened fire with deadly effect Our ar
tillery also commenced and apparently
absolutely confused the enemy, who
were allowed to think the bridge was
open for them to cross. Their right
flank, in the meantime. attacked the
Beers SouthernmoSt position but the
MauSer rifle fire was so tremendous
that they were rolled back like a spent
wave leaving ridges and ridges of dead
and dying humanity behind.
Again the British advanced to the
attack. but again fell back. swelling
the heaps of dead. The cavalry
charged to the river, where the Err
molo commando delivered such mur-
derous fire that two batteries of can
non had to be abandoned. which the
Beers are going to bring here. Twice
the British essayed to bring horses to
remove them. The first time they sue
ceeded in hitching on to one cannon.
and on the second trial the horses
and men fell in a heap.
Then the British were in full retreat
to their camp, whence they sent a
heavy shrapnel fire on Bulwer bridge,
across the Tugela. to prevent the bur-
ghers from recovering the cannon

fight could not have been improved up

most dangerous points of the fighting.

''Such a tremendous cannonade has
seldom been heard. The veldt for miles
was covered with dead and wounded.
1t was most crushing British de-
feat. The British asked for and were
granted a twenty-four-hour armis-
