called Grain-O. It is delicious, appe.
thing, nourishing food drink to take
the place OF coffee. Sold by all gro
GERS and liked by all who have used it
because when properly prepared it
tastes like the finest coffee but is free
from all its injurious properties.
Grain-O aids digestion and strength

but health builder, and children, az
well as adults, can drink it with great
benefit. Costs about " as much as
coffee. 15c and 25c.

to learn that you are improving in
health and hope that you may fully
recover during the summer months.
wish there was something roing on
here so that there would be something
to write, but it Sc the same old story.
We are simply lying about quarters
going on outpost duty every six days,
except when we have to chase out to
the lines in case of firing, which at
present is about every day.
Last night we had a new and some
what novel experience. About z p. m.
there was firing heard on the outposts,
SO we were hurried out in line. I do
not think the insurgents intended ma
king an attack. However, we did quite
little firing. ii,
1t was quite sight to see the flash
of the guns which, at every volley,
seemed to form one line of fire as it
belched forth. However lido not
think that night fighting is Just what
at might be. 1t is hard to tell where
your own men are, where and how an
enemy is going to attack, and so al
most impossible to do any maneuver-

of an attack out of their heads. 1t
was as nice a little skirmish as we
have seen. Our company was on the
left of the regiment and at one time
we saw them evidently trying to
Hank us. Under cover we came to
within five or six hundred yards, then
opened on them and they proceeded
to "yamoose." In return we were go-
ing to flank them. Capt Clark, with
a squad of about fifteen, advanced
along natural trench on the left until
we We're within two hundred yards,
when just as we were about to open
up an orderly came up with orders
that an advance was not to be made
and for us to return to our outposts.
50 we had to leave the job just when
it was almost completed. The attack
was made all about the town and some
of the, boys who were in quarters say
that for a while it sounded as if the
insurgents were coming with rush
to sweep the town off the face of the
earth. do not know how many
Americans were hit. Our regiment
had five or six wounded, but none were
in our company.
AT last the volunteers have made a
start for home. The Oregons sailed
yesterday morning and the Nebraska
and Pennsylvania regiments have or
ders to prepare for their return. We
know nothing definite as to when we
shall leave except some time among
the last, which will be quite a while
yet. l expect there were times you
did not receive mail. Mail left via
Hong Kong May 16, but was held
on account of the plague there and
the next to leave here was on trans
port few days ago. Another trans
port leaves tomorrow which carries
mail and I want to get this to you
sure.
I suppose you are enjoying some good
summer weather. wish it were pos
sible for us to get back while the wea-
Their is warm.
Your son, Clyde.

Closing SeRsiOn.

The Ladies' Reading Circle gathered
socially, at the home of Miss Beach and
Mrs. E. Chapman on Thursday after
noon, the 22d, for the closing meeting
this year. The members we're out in
full force, with one or two exceptions,
including Mrs. 1. N. Saddler of East
Toledo. The heat of the day did not
interfere with the energetic guessing
of the geographical puzzles scattered
about ard adorning the guests, so that
each lady was voted laurel wreath for
persistent effort and successful work
An appetizing repast representing the
culinary si.ill of many of the ladies re-
stored the exhausted energies. Some
very high grade conundrums upon
authors and poets followed, and with
brain tissue completely worn out the
various members sought their homes
for much needed rest.

Capt Henry Root, who has been
stricken with severe illness, is rest
ing as comfortably as his friends can
make him, and in conversation with
the JOURNAL spoke very feelingly of
the members of his crew on the steamer
Reynolds who have shown their kind
ness in many ways. From the first
moment of his illness they performed
every act of sympathy possible,
and the Captain feels that his affliction
has been the means of showing to him
the kindness of heart and brotherly
affection OF those with whom he has so
long been associated. He desires all
his friends to know how truly he ap-
preciates their sympathy.

A GREAT YIELD.
Nebrnskn's Corn Crop for 1900 Az.
gregates PA, 125 ,O83 Bushels,
Exceeding All Records,

Omaha, Neb., Oct. 25.-The annual
crop review of the Bee, compiled from
\reports of special correspondents in
every county in the state, shows that the
corn crop of 1899 exceeds the record of
the best previous year by 14,217,240
bushels. Previous to 1899 the greatest
corn crop was two years ago. The fig
ures show that the corn crop of 1899
reaches the enormous figure of 244,-
125,093 bushels. The average yield per
acre is 34.5 bushels, and the quality of
the crop is excellent except in very
limited portions of the state where hot
weather in August damaged it some
what. The same hot spell cut down
the total yield from the earlier esti-
mates. The crop is not only the largest,
but taken as a whole, is of as good quail
ity as any ever raised in the state. The
total of the wheat yield is below that
of the last two previous years. This is
due to the damage to the plant during
the winter in the winter wheat district.
The quality of the grain in this dis
trict is not first class.

SEEKS ARBITRATION.
Ting Alaskan Dispute-A Sum-
mary of Old Claims.

London, Oct. 25.-The press is en-
abled to give authoritatively Canada's
final proposition for permanent set
Element of the Alaska dispute. 1t is
very different from her former de-
mands and was delivered to United
States Ambassador Choate by the
Canadian minister of marine and fish
cries, Sir Louis Henry Davies, late
the night before the latter sailed and
dispatched Tuesday to Washington by
the officials of the United States en-
bassy. 1t is as follows:
That the boundary line be arbitrated upon
terms similar to those imposed by the
United States ard Great Britain over Ven
ezuela, particularly those provisions maxi
ing 50 years occupancy by either side con-
elusive evidence of title, occupancy of less
than that period to be taken as equity al
lows under International law.
That, as condition precedent to and
absolutely preliminary to arbitration,
Skaguay and Dyea would be conceded to
the United States without further claim
If Canada received Pyramid harbor.
In other words, Canada gives up much
of the disputed gold country in return
for seaport, but stipulates that she
must get the latter before she agrees to
arbitrate the boundary line.
Washington, Oct. Is. 1t is said
at the state department that the
proposition as to permanent
Alaskan boundary laid down by Sir
Louis Davies is nothing more nor less
than a summary of claims heretofore
preferred. When the commission was
in session last spring and the Canadian
proposition was made to settle the
boundary question by arbitration, the
American commissioners replied with
an offer to accept arbitration with the
proviso that no point occupied by Amer
leans for a specified term of years
should be submitted to the arbitration.
In other words, the term was so fixed
that by no possibility could the title
to Skaguay, Taiya, or any other place
that the Americans had occupied for
period represented by the discovery
of the Klondike fields be called into
question by the arbitration. This was
one of the final propositions rejected
by the Canadian commissioners which
caused the failure of the joint confer
ence.
