Interesting Letter.

Nipa Barracks, Malata, Manila L. l.
April 2l, 1899.
DEAR MOTHER -
AS we have just returned from q
campaign of eleven days, and expect
to move in an hour or so to Malolos,
a distance of thirty-three miles, will
drop you line in haste.
We have fought over all this
ground before, but the Insurgents
have come back and cut off our COM
munication and supplies from Malo-
los and Gen. Wheaton, and we have
to fight perhaps the same as before. I
trust they will stake tumble" and
leave the Americans alone, for this
fighting and marching is terrible
thing-nothing more than butcher
ing. I have seen about all care to
and would be satisfied if hostilities
would cease. ....
The way Uncle Sam is sending
troops over here leads me to believe
that a big fight is ahead with other
nations.
At present I am in the best of
health, and do hope and trust that
you are the same. Did you receive
the letters written while on the train
and one in Frisco? Have had no
answers whatever. Also, did you re-
ceive bundle of clothes sent G. o. d.
express tIom Fl. Crook? l sent you
a money order for $25, did you re-
ceive that?
II is quite warm here, most too
warm for comfort. (By the way, was
there watch in the bundle OF
clothes ??
Write me often and give me all the
news from home. Tell Uncle Taylor,
John aud Sam and brother Taylor to
write how things are getting alor G.
You don't know how anxiously
watch the mails for letter from you.
1t would be so gladly received.
Have not been paid for two months,
and as we are going out for twenty
day campaign, don't know when we
will be paid.
With best regards to all and deep
est love to you, I am as ever,
Your loving son,
ARTHUR.
P. S.-Order just came in to "move
at once" Goodbye.

Eleven to Ten in Favor Of Carlisle

On last Thursday the juvenile base
ball team, of this city, contested for
diamond honors with the lads of Car
isle. Although oar boys were defeat
ed, they speak in glorious terms of the
fine treatment accorded them by the
boys of Carlisle. The Mt. Sterling
team was composed of the following :
Glenmore Reid, catcher: Percy Wild
er, pitcher; Edward Land, first base
Floyd Bunch, second base; Clayton
Fletcher, third base; Berney Cornell
son, short stop; Parker Wood, right
field; VIM. Upton, left field; Ernest
Robinson, center field.
The Carlisle team will give our
boys chance to redeem their lost
honors in this city some time in the
near future.

A Narrow Escape.

While the little boys of Capt. J. H
Stephenson were out driving on last
Tuesday evening the horse stumbled
and fell to his knees, the backing
strap broke and the buggy running
upon the horse frightened him and
he at once began running and kick,
ing. The dashboard was demolished
otherwise the buggy was not badly
damaged. Fortunately the little boys
escaped unhurt.

Tom Reed Will Not Remain in
CONGRESS.

A member of the law firm of Simp-
son, Thscher 81 Barnum, of New
York, said that the published story
that Speaker Reed would remain q
member of Congress, although giving
up the Speakership, seemed to him
ridiculous, although he had not seen
Mr.. Reed for some time. Mr. Thachel
said that it was his expectation that
Speaker Reed would resign from Con.
gress and become a member of theil
firm.

On Tuesday night last some mis-

near the home of Mr.. Ed Settles, on
College street. One bullet went I'M

This thing of people shooting pro-

stopped, for some time some one will
be seriously hurt.

Easy Conscience.

Uncle Mark Hanna remarks that
now that the Ohio Republican con-
vention has been pulled off according
to his rules, he "can leave the country
with an easy conscience" And the
further he goes the easier the coun-

and. such being the case. 1t is not expected
that harmony can prevail. The Santa Fe
and Southern Pacific companies, in their
efforts to control the Pacific coast traffic,
both east and west-bound, have gone en-
tirely too far in excluding other roads from
traffic which they feel they are entitled to.
or, at least, they should have fair field in
competition, which is denied them. The
Santa Fe's attitude in joining the South
ern Pacific in this position, as well as its
action in New England in connection with
the differential roads, has driven other
Western roads into a position where they
must show their hands"

fewer loaded cars than were received and
forwarded In the corresponding week of
1898, and but thirteen more loaded cars
than were handled at this point in the cor
responding week OF 1897. II is evident that
the advance in eastbound freight rates has
checked through business somewhat, as di-
rectly the reverse. under present business
conditions, should be the case. Going back
to 1885, IL is found that last week there
were handled at this point 2,704 more load
ed cars, in 1895 1888 more, and 3,4O6 more
than in 1894 The decrease. seemingly, is
entirely in eastbound tonnage, and in
grain, provisions and -four for export, as
east-bound shipments of cotton, produce,
live stock and dressed meats are heavier
than in December last year. West-bound
traffic continues heavy beyond precedent,
being heavy in the higher as well as the
lower class freights. In heavy groceries
the shipments are large, and the dry goods
houses and fancy notions merchants are
enjoying such an active holiday trade that
goods in this line are coming forward in
much larger volume and much later in the
season than usual The boot and shoe
houses have been enjoying big trade. as
have the hat and cap dealers, and this
swells the high-class freights. Local bust
ness is very active. Local manufacturers
are heavy shippers, ana the wholesale
merchants and commission men are un-
loading and loading more cars than in any
former December. So far as Indianapolis
is concerned, the tonnage in export traffic
is behind last year. The business of the
two stockyards combined, and that Of the
packing houses compares favorably with
last year, except in export business, and
this is largely Offset by the excellent de-
mand for hog products and dressed meats
In the Virginias, Pennsylvania, and the
New England States. The local lines are
carrying a good deal of coal and lumber.
Last week the local lines showed an in
creased business north and south. The Mo-
non handled 1913 more loaded cars at this
point last week than in the corresponding
week of 1883, the Lake Erie & Western 100
more, and the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Day
ton 1893 more than in the corresponding
week last year, while the Big Four ham

fewer. The Indiana, Decatur & Western

at Indianapolis last week 136 more loaded

cars handled at this point for the week
