Lieutenant Oliver Lapp.

A correspondent Of the ST. Paul Pio-
neer-Press, in speaking Of the sick and
wounded of the First South Dakota regi-
ment now at the Presidio in San Fran.
cisco, says Of Lieut.. Oliver c. Lapp, of
Keystone. member of Company who
was wounded at the battle Of Mariola:
BY far the most serious case is that of
Lieut.. Oliver Lapp. Lieut.. Lapp is in
the general hospital at the Presidio suf-
fering from a bullet wound in both legs.
He was injured while on duty with his
regiment at the battle of Mariola. The
insurgents were intrenched on one side
of the Bagbag river and the South Da-
kotas were sent 10 cross the river and
take these trenches. This was found TO
be impossible, rs the river was too swift
and deep to swim, the first river. by the
way, that the regiment found it could
not cross. When it was found impos
sible for the regiment to cross it fell
back few hundred feet and sought such
shelter as it could find. Lieut.. Lapp
was then first sergeant Of his company,
and he asked permission ofthe battalion
commander, Lieut.. Col. Slower, to take a
few men and see if he could drive the
half-dozen natives out of the trench.
Receiving permission, he went out 10
the bank of the river and began to fire
through the earthworks with his Krag-
Jorgensen rifle, the regiment having
been furnished with few oft..rse arms.
He was kneeling and firing when he
was seen to throw up both arms and fall
back on the sand. Men from the resi.
ment rushed to him and carried him
back to the lines, where it was found
that bullet had gone through both his
legs. taking splinter OF bone out of one
just below the knee and piercing the
other thigh. He was sent back to Ma
Mia, put in the reserve hospital and
afterwards sent to the United States.
He is now at the Presidio hospital and
only one Of the many surgeons in the
hospital holds out any hopes of saving
one of his legs. The others all tell him
that at least one If them must 60. Even
if he does save the leg he will be Grip
pie for life. He received his commits
sion in recognition Of his bravery in this
action.

Enlistiug Recruits.

Lieutenant VIM. E. MacKintey Of the
45th Infantry, son of Thomas MacKinley
OF Hot Springs. was in custer Monday
on recruiting business for his regiment.
He left on the $50 train for Hot Springs,
from where he will probably 90 up to
Newcastle, Wyoming. His regim ent is
stationed at Fort Smelling, Minnesota,
and will leave for the Philippines about
December lst. After the lieutenant
leaves the Hills, recruits for the provi.
sional regiments will be taken at Fort
Me sde. The enlistments are until June
80, 1901 Former soldiers or fairly edu.
Gated men are preferred. The ordinary
pay Is increased 20 per cent for foreign
service, being $3.50 for a private, $l9
for corporals. $2l.60 for sergeant and
$2l 80 for cooks. Unmarried men, from
ls TO 80, Of good character, are desired.
The army has nevere before offered bet
ter inducements to those entering a
military career.
Mr.. MacKinley has just returned from
fourteen months service in Puerto Rico,
where he was a Sergeant of the Signal
Corps During that time he saw much
Of the island and made careful study
of it's conditions and resources. He
says that the island has had hard time
within the past two years, first being
campaigned over by the contending
armies of the United States and Spain,
and after business and CONNIE rce had
again resumed sway, the cyclone of Au
gust Sth literally wiped out half its
buildings and farms. Notwithstanding
this, the people are starting to work to
repair the ravages of the storm and re-
stock their plantations again.
The principal occupations Of Puerto
Rico are agriculture, stock raising and
mining, the latter being limited Agri-
cultural products ars sugar, coffee. rice,
tobacco, plantains, bananas, and tropical
fruits of many kinds. Hard woods are
quite plentiful, and cocoa.nuts are met
with on every hillside.
The cattle industry is now coming
more to the front than heretofore All
transportation in the island, aside from
two or three short lines of railways and
few pony pack trains. Is carried on
with oxen and carts which are very
crude affairs. The dairy products are
vet limited, butter being very rarely
made and very little cheese. The cattle
are heavy built docile breed and seem
well taken ca of. Horses are small
and are scarcely larger than Shetland
ponies. Hogs are very poor. and sheep
do not pay. A few goats are also found
in the upper hill country. Gold is found
in the Luquillo mountains, near Fajardo.
and copper in the range near Corazal,
not far from Sar Juan. Iron ore and
some other minerals are also found. as
we'll as some salt which is evaporated
down in pans.

Obituary.

The brief notice OF the death of Mr.
Peter Mckinney which occurred on Fri
day of last week, calls for a few remarkl
on the sad occasion which time anG
space did not permit US to make in oul
last Issue.
Mr.. Mckinney was born in Syracuse
New York, and was at the time of hi,
death Gas near as We can ascertain) In
the Goth year of his age. His disease
was dysentery. to which he succumbe
in the brief space of Eve days. This nc
doubt was owing to the fact that he wal
alone In his cabin sick and suffering
and his condition unknown to frient
or neighbor, who wonld have willingly
administered to his relief had they
known that he was ailing. and for this
reason he came very near dying alone
as he only survived a few hours after
the discovery OF his unfortunate situa
ton. kilograms were Immediately sem
to his relatives in Chicago, and hi
nephew, Mr.. j. P. Quirk. arrived in time
to take the remains back to his Chicago
home. The funeral took place at the
residence Of Mr.. George Tarbell, 10
whose house he had been removed pre-
vious to his death, and the last sad rite,
were performed by the Rev. w. F
Bradley of the Methodist church.
Very little is known in this commun
ity Of the earher years of Mr.. Mckinney
previous to his coming to the Hills
which occurred in 1877, save that his
family were among the earliest settlers
in Chicago, and that he went to Cali
fornia in l849, and there by his indus
try in the mines he amassed quite @
fortuLe. 1t is said that he still retain
ed that fortune, and was at the time o.
his death the owner Of a large estate in
Chicago, and that he enjoyed quite ar
income from his rents during all the
time he resided in the Hills. There ha,
always been something ofa mistery con
nected with the life Of our friend who
has departed, (he had no enemies) al
he WAS always reticent in regard to his
relatives and his anticedents. Whether
he was ever the member of any church
or secret organization. we do not know
and whittier he was ever married We
cannot tell, but he was presumed to be
an old bachelor. And thereby may
hang a tale which If told might explain
how furious storms will sometimes
sweep over the human heart, and make
shIpwreck Of life which nature design
ed should grow. blossom. and bear
fruit in the garden of affection. All
this we can only surmise. We can moi
say, We only know that Pete was one oI
the kindliest of men who loved hit
friends but above all he loved little
children, and the money he spent was
not lavished upon himself for he was
sober and had no expensive habits AL
the wealth he squandered, was upon the
little ones to make their young lives
happier. But he has gone. the child
rem have lost their friend, and this com
munity mourns the departure Of good
man and an upright citizen.

As general thing in all mining
camps there are always some idle men
seeking employment. but at this writ
ing there is scarcity OF hands To do
the work. This is not only the case in
the southern Hills but in the uorthern
camps also We hear that there is not
labor enough to supply the demand.
This Is largely brought about by the
employment of about 200 men on the
Homestake water ditch, and enlargng
the old fumes. The b. & NJ. r. X. are
employing all the men they can get on
their Keystone branch, the gathering OF
heavy harvest, and many new enter
prises throughout the Hills country,
make labor at a premium just at this
time.

A Veteran Engineer.

John Sutherland, who for nearly
twenty years has held the throttle on
the fast mail engines on the Iowa Di-
vision Of the Burlington, has abandoned
the main line and given up the fast mail.
At his own request he has been trans.
ferred to the Abba branch of the Burl-
ington. While waiting the other day
for the signal to start on his last run
with the fastest mail train in America,
he said: "Yes have given up the fast
mail. l was assigned to an engine on
No. in 1881 and for nearly twenty
years / haye pulled it from Ottumwa to
Creston, Or on return trip once each dav.
In that time / have crossed the old
middle division. lis miles in length,
daily except Sunday. The aggregate
distance travelled IN the almost two de-
cades of employment on that line Is
nearl> 10000 miles. The running time
of the mail was originally thirty. five
miles an hour, and in those days No. rs
time was phenomenon. Passenger
trains, over all Of which it had the right
of way, hustled to get in clear ten
minutes before it was due at stations,
while as for freight trains, well, there
was standing rule on the time card
that any conductor or engineer on the
brown cars who DELAYED the mail an
instant was shot at sunrise the next
morning. or, if the offence was not of an
aggravated character, they were given
six months in the dog house."
why did quit the fast mail? Well
| am not 80 young as WAS twenty years
ago. have been afflicted for several
years with rheumatism. and then again,
the gait of No has been set up so
many notches since it was first put on
that its time now averages fifty miles
an hour. With the creeping on Of age,
the excitement Of moving along at fifty
miles an hour, formerly buoyant stim-
ulant to me, wore away, and began 10
| long for q run where the risk and re
sponsibility were not so great. / sub
mitted to the management iay desire
to take slower run, and was allowed
the privilege Of picking out the run
would like most to have, so took Nos
9 and 10, running in and out of Des
Moines."
The experience of this Burlington
engineer, who has been running on the
fast mail for nearly twenty years, con
tradicts the current report that an en-
gineer can not stand the fast mail pace
more than FIVE years.
