Street Incident,

"My dear sir" exclaimed Lawyer
Bartholomew Livingston, meeting
the Rev. DR. Archibald Windham on
the village street, "What does this
mean? / thought you were laid up
with all sorts of bad diseasesw
"And so ! was" replied the rev.
erend gentleman, ~ had an attack OF
indigestion and from that time on my
whole system has been in disorder
ed condition until | began taking
Hoods Sarsaparilla which has put
me on my feet and cured all my
stomach troubles"
81 don't doubt, ~ it said the lawyer.
"This medicine cured my wife of
rheumatism and my little girl of
scrofula. When they say it's the
best meniclne money can buy they
only tell the truth"
ayes, yes, 20 they do" replied the
minister, and the two passed on.

Hollanders, live in small towns or
settlements.
From Malolos TO Apalit corn, the
real old yellow corn, and sugar cane
seems 80 take the place of rice Many
OF the sugar cane farms have their
mill out in the center OF the field, very
careful however, to ne on the bank of
u river or close by. But then IN this
immediate vicinity it would be
bard to get very far from u stream or
irrigating ditch.
The ystem Of lrrlgation beats any
thing | ever saw. The country is
90 level that the tide brings in all the
water needed and the little flood
gates can be opened or closed as the
necessity arises.
The railway affords good shipping
facilities, but ! am told that many
tons of products are marketed by
boat at Manila, for ae the tide recedes
good time can be made, more especial
ly if the breeze happens to be in the
direction to push on their sail.
TO Malolos scarcely any crops are
growing, but here the fields are
green. The country we have passed
over is practically deserted, the Fill
pinos women and children) having
fled before us The average popula-
tion of the ii or Is towns we have
passed through ie about $4,000, per-
maps not so much.
Farming is done under difficulties;
the pillow being etick with an iron
or steel point on 1t and few having
steel muleboard; but none of the
plows have tut one handle. The har-
row is made of bamboo, the branch
being cut to serve for teeth The
cultivator is a very crude hoe: corn
and sugar cane is easily cultivated
for after the planting in rows about
eighteen inches apart the harvesting
is aeXt in order. AS | have seen
grain growing, all sizes, and harvest
ed, guess all one has to do is to keep
planting and harvesting and finding
a market. Everything is cheap eX-
cept what you have to buy.
The first artillery fire we met was
at Calumpit. If it isn't terrifying
just ask any Of the boys who were in
that freight room April ~.
The lola boys are in pretty good
health, but II few cold feet don't
warm even in this climate
A year ago today since we left lola,
and we hope it will not be year
hence until we return. From the re-
ports we get we have some hopes OF
going via New York, bat then we will
have 10 be satisfied if we don't. We
don't get what we want everytime
anyway.
The boys are gathering souvenirs
and many are being mailed home;
most Of them will have very good
collection.
We are coming home, but when:
Politics don't cut very much ice.
The ouly candidate for nomination
we know OF is Miss Wilson for county
treasurer, and ii is the unanimous
wish of the Allen county boys that
she be elected the Republican candi-
date, We would ike to help elect
her.
Wages are good here; the volunteers
still get tbeir sl5 90 per month, while
the first class mechanic in the shops
get from $50 to S25 per month. Farm

FARMERS. Plant SORGHUM /!

There is no wisdom in buying
cheap "storen molasses when by
planting an acre or two Of sorghum,
and in the fall hauling the cane to
Claiborne's mill, you can have 1t
made into good, wholesome syrup.
You have the land, and the labor will
be trifling, while the result will not
only save you greet many dollars
on your syrup and sugar bill, but will,
give you an unstinted supply OF good
wholesome sweetness for your family.

the inflammable material with which
the machines were fed. Flames spread
to bales of curled hair and in three
minutes the entire floor was dense
with binding black smoke. Men and
women left their posts in frantic rushes
to the exits Many ran to windows

from Wichita Of the arrest Of Frank
AllgOOd, together with Herbert and
Willis Simpson and R 7. Mathes and
wife, for the murder Of Joseph New,
near here, on the night of October
81, 1897, is creating no little excite
ment here. The evidence upon which
Amelia New and Joseph Dobbs were
convicted of the crime was Of such
strength that people are lOath to be-
lieve them innocent and generally con-
slider the Wichita report to have been
manufactured largely by persons who
recently filed an application in the

fessiOn are in no way similar to the
