A Soldier Letter.

A few days ago the REGISTER
printed a story about private IN the
Twentieth Kansas who while on
guard one day was attacked by ten
Filipinos and who killed two of them,
wounded three and took the remain
der prisoners. The name of the boy
was w. f. Doughty, and he Is a son
of Mr., } p Doughty, of Usage town
ship. His father kindly permits the
REGISTER to print extracts from a
letter lately received from him, as
follows:
Malolos, p. l April l6.
= We are still Mt Malo-
los. We have b5en attacked several
times since we have been here, but
no damage done except the wound
ing of one man. This is the largest
regiment now on the firing line. We
have e23 men now in the field, an
swering roll call every day. That
is over 200 more than any other regi-
ment The Nebraskas have only 455
fit for field duty, about one-third OF
the regiment.
We have plenty to eat in the field.
There are lots Of hogs, chickens, and
some cattle, so the only trouble is
that sometimes when we are moving
they cannot keep the cook tents up
to the line.
There are so many rivers and
swamps and the bridges are all de-
stroyed, go it is a good thing most
of the boys can swim. We have the
train running now from here to Ma
Mia, so we get good water. We have
dug several wells around here, but
the water is salt and no good.
We cannot get any envelopes
here so ] will send this letter in q
joint of bamb boo. ELLIS DoUGHTY.

uESRER'S IDLE DREAMS.

In last weeks Selinsgrove Times,
the editor of that paper, as usual,
makes some statements he knows are
false. 1t is needless for us to deny
that we received any money from
Congressman Mahon in his '9S fight
as it is well known that we had none
of Mahon's money to spend. We
did not receive one cent of money
from Congressman Mahon except
what was paid for printing his card
and his name on the tickets, which
was what every other candidate was
expected to do. If we are to get a
position at Washington at the open
ing of Congress, we knew nothing
about it, and it is strange that all
the mugwumps in the country get
this information before the one most
interested.
The Times man has blcd both
Knights and Thomas, the candidates
for County Commissioners, and he
imagines that every editor is as cor
rupt as his own veritable self.

CUBA AFTER A YEAR OF PEACE.

The Cuban Industrial Relief Fund,
of IS Tribune Building, New York
City, has issued for free distribution
an illustrated bookletentitled "Cuba
after Year of Peace" Theillus-
trations are direct reproductions of
photographs taken by William Will
lard Howard, General Manager of
the Fund, during the months of
August and September, 1899. They
show plainly that there is still in
Cuba a great amount Of sickness,
suffering and starvation. Not one
OF Mr.. Howard's pictures was taken
in a hospital. All represent the con-
ditiou of the Cuban poor as they are
atter the island has been has been at
peace for more than a year; as they
are aflerthe American flag has float
ed over them for ten months. The
survivors of the reconcentrados still
live in the wretched huts into which
they were crowded at the time of the
infamous Weyler concentration Or
der. Utterly without work-oxen,
farming tools, or seeds, with which
to resume the cultivation of their
devastated farms, they have remain
ed in the towns and cities without
means of support and without hope
for the future.
Our own government has done
nothing to restore these impoverish-
ed Cuban farmers to their former
homes. 1t has not provided so much
as one farmer with oxen or tools or
seeds.
The Cuban Industrial Relief Fund
has in successful operation at Ceiba
Mocha, twelve miles west of Ma
tanzas, two relief farms, on which
employment is given to the poor.
Nearly 500 persons are supported
by the work done on these two
farms. The managers of the Fund
earnestly desire to extend the good
work to other parts of Cuba. Con-
tributions of money to enable them
to do so should be sent to the Con-
tinental Trust Company, 80 Broad
street, New York City.

Mahon has not announced his intcn-
ton of being "A candidate for re-e.ec-
ton, but if he decides to do so, he
will find his friends ready tosupport
him.
Then there will be the position of
Assemblyman to be filled, and as
the two-term rule has been granted
in Snyder County, DR.. A. NJ. Smith
should not have any opposition for
the nomination. There are, how
ever, rumors of opposition which
doubtless are groundless.
The positions of Pro,honotarv, Re-
gister e. Recorder and District At
torney are also to be filled. Geo.
Nj. Shindel and j. II. Willis will be
candidates for reelection, and Nj. |.
Potter will be candidate for Dis
trict Attorney. Likely there will
be other candidates. There will be
an ample array of candidates to
make Il ings interesting.

The Republican Primary.

The tickets of the general election
are not cold in the ballot box until
the discussion begins concerning the
Republican primary of next year.
That primary will be quite an i'm
portant one and there promises to be
lively tustle for places. There
will be nomination made for State
Senator and as there was quite a
feud created four years ago, there
still remains evidences of that bitter
contention. 1t is little early to
predict what may occur in the battle
for supremacy in this contest. There
will also be nomination made for
Congressman andit has been whisper
ed in the Hummel faction that the
Senator has not decided whether he
would prefer the senatorial Toga or
congressional honors. The senator
is in quite a dilemma, his friends
say, owing to the fact that both of
these positions are made vacant at
once, and the senator does not feel
like entrusting the candidacy of
either position to any one except
himself and as he cannot consistent
ly run for both it will be an awful
pill for him to decline to be can
didate for either one. Congressma,

to the New Berlin Reporter last week
says: Mr.. Lewis Kratzer, resi-
dent of Mitchell, Red. Co., Kansas,
son of Daniel Kratzer, after whom
our town was named, is at present
visiting friends and acquaintance in
this section. Mr.. Kratzer was born
and reared in this town and for a
time was engaged here at this trade
of blacksmithing. More than 40
years ago he emigrated to Illinois
and later, when he was affected with
asthma, he went to Kansas, his pres
sent place of abode, where he claims
he enjoys freedom from his erstwhile
distressing malady. He says
great changes have occurred here
since lie went away and that there
are but few Of his acquaintance left.

Death of Robert Wiley.

Robert Wiley, a Nevada pioneer,
died at his home at Sulphur Springs,
near Pine Grove, on the 23d of April,
from heart failure. He was born in
Galloway county, Missouri, in 1881.
He served in the home militia during
the rebellion and crossed the plains
with hn OK team in 1864, soon after
the Mountain Meadow massacre, when
the trip was fraught with many dan
gers.
When the convicts escaped from
Carson and brutally murdered Will
Poor almost within sight of his home,
fearing that Wiley knew OF their
foul deed, they resolved to murder
him too. Two men were sent to re-
connoiter his house. Knowing moth
ing of their dastardly purpose, his
innate kindnesssand varying hos
pitality saved his life. s,...
| During recent years be has been a
prosperous cattle man. He leaves a
bereaved wife and six sorrowing chill
dron, all of whom have attained the
age of majority. His life had the
immeasurable charm of sweet sim
plicity. He was always cheerful and
the genial warmth of his soul exten-
ded to all around him. He never
made a brow look dark, nor caused a
tear but when he died. Honest and
upright in business, kind and indul-
gent at home, sympathetic and char
liable abroad; ever seeing that all his
acts were distilled from the chasten-
ing urn of conscience, he won the
friendship and love of his fellow men
and the rapturous love of his family
