his BODY but he had caught sight of the
descending knife in time to dodge
slightly, causing the blade TO miss its
mark. AS it was, the blow was suffi-
Gent to cut his left cheek open to the
bone from the temple to the jaw. With
the blood pouring forth in a stream
he whirled to face the natives, who in
stantly took to their heels in their eff
fort to escape. Smith raised his rifle
and shot one of the fleeing natives
through the heart before he had gone
twenty feet BY this time he was so
weak from pain and loss of blood that
he was forced to drop to his knees, and
while in this position he reloaded his
rifle and fired shot at the other Fill
pino who was just disappearing in the
edge of the thicket at the side of the
road. This shot also took effect, for
the dead body of the native was found
next morning in the thicket. he having
evidently crawled as far as possible
before expiring, for the body was dis
| covered some distance from the point
where he disappeared in the underbush
as Smith fired at him. Comrades, at
tracted by the firing, rushed to the aid
of the brave solGier, and procuring a
horse, placed him upon the animal and
Y
pany's quarters, where his wound was
| dressed by the surgeons. Smith bled
so profusely that in going the three
miles to the company's quarters his
clothing became thoroughly saturated,
his shoes full and the horse covered
with blood. He was afterwards taken
TO the hospital. That a man after be-
ing so severely wounded should have
the pluck, not only to face his foes
and fight, but to kill one of his assail-
ants on the spot and mortally wound
the other, excited the admiration of
all the soldiers at Manila. He was con-
4 graduated on his plucky fight by prac-
! tically the whole army, even General
Otis calling upon him While in the hos
! pital and shaking hands with him and
! commencing him for his bravery. A
fund was raised among the soldiers and
officers, with which they purchased an
] elegant gold watch and presented it
| to the hero. The machete, a very fine
one with an inlaid gold handle, which
came so near being the means of end
! ing his life, was found on the ground
under the body of the native who was
! first killed, and this was also present
ed to him as a memento of the encoun-
| ter. Smiths parents. Mr.. and Mrs.

A GAME MAN.
Private Smith of Dakota, Who Killed
Two Murderous Filipinos.

Among the gallant United States SOL
diers now upholding the honor of their
country at Manila who have performed
deeds which will win for them the COW
eted medal of honor is Thomas Smith, a
private of company e, South Dakota
volunteers. To him was also accorded
the honor of being personally cOngrat-
ulated by General Otis. In an encoun-
ter with two Filipinos, who sought to
aSsasSinate him while on picket duty
Smith, after being badly wounded, shot
and instantly killed one of his assail-
ants and wounded the other so severe
ly that he died a short time later. Ser

went on picket duty. His beat was one
of the most dangerous patrolled by
American soldiers, passing along mar

O'Clock, the sun having set, Private
Smith discerned two Filipinos ap-
preaching him, apparently on their way
to Manila. They were dressed in white
and walked in single file one about six
feet behind the other. He challenged
them and they answered promptly, the
first greeting him with the words,
''Bueno noches, amego' good evening,
friend). The second repeated the greet
ing and accompanied it with a military
salute Smith replied in English, and
shouldered his Springfield rifle turned
to resume his beat. Just as they pass
ed him he carelessly turned his head to
look after them. This fortunate cir
cumstance saved his life, for immedi-
ately after passing him the second Fill
pino drew a machete, sprang at the
sentry and aimed a terrific blow at his
head. The stroke would practically
have severed Private Smiths head from

BERMUDA ONIONS.
Reasons Why They Are So Popular
In American Markets.

Nowhere, perhaps. in the world are
onions grown to such a state of pertec-
ton as in the Bermudas," said a whole
sale produce merchant in New York to a
writer for the Washington Star recently.
The balmy climate and rich soil of these
islands, together with the careful meth
DDS of cultivation have combined to pro-
duce an onion that, for size and flavor,
is peerless. The vegetable will average
from one-half pound to one pound and a
half in weight. 1t is always sound, juicy
and crisp and these good qualities are
so we'll appreciated by Americans that
about 100000 crates of the onions are an
nually shipped to the United States.
Preparations to supply the markets of
this country every spring with the Yeget-
able are made early in January, and when
gathered in March and April the onions
are carefully selected and packed in
crates weighing when filed, 100 pounds.
The onions are then taken to the general
receiving wharf. where they are subjected
to a rigid inspection by government Of
ficers. If the quality of the product is
not good and any imperfect or decayed
specimens are found. the farmer is made
to pick the goods over and replace them.
The onions are then passed by the IN
Spector and when the crates have been
closed and marked by the shipper they
are loaded on board steamship. Whlcn,
after voyage of forty-eight hours. lands
them principally in New York. Here con-
signments of from 1900 TO $500 crates.
each containing $50 onions, are received
semi-weekly. The vegetable is usually
sold by weight, and is now worth about
cents per pound retail

through our meeting with an Indian
whom we located oy the smoke which
arose from his campfire a little dis
lance TO the left. 1t was the first
signs of human habitation that we had
seen for months, and a party of us
went over to investigate. There we
found the Indian, a man of perhaps
35 or 40, camped very comfortably with
three or four of his squaws They had
been hunting all summer with only toll
cradle success. He could speak only a
word or two of broken English, and
was prevailed upon to guide our party
in the direction of the Tanama.
When we arrived at Summit lake he
pointed toward the Chulitna, which he
called by name, and then pointed
northward, indicating by signs and
language that if we followed the direc-
ton of the stream we would GO Ia
mana" This we accordingly did, and
followed the course of the stream for
ten days. The country on the north
side Of the great divide differs from
that on the south, in that it is much
dryer, and vegetation grows much less
luxuriantly. Our course led US north
westerly, and we followed the stream
until we felt assured that it was a
tributary of tine Tanana. We would
have penetrated the country until we
arrived at the Yukon, had it not been
for the fact that our provisions had
alarmingly short. Accordingly, on
the 18th of August we determined to
retrace our steps.
The return trip was accomplished
without incident The party arrived
safely at the mouth of Indian creek
on the End of September, and the boats
and provisions We're found to be just
as we had left them. After a short
delay for repairs we launched the
boats and ran a hundred miles down
the Sushitna in fourteen hours. We
arrived at Tyoonok on the 9Th of Sep
TENDER, and there learned for the first
time that our country was at war with
Spain. After waiting fifteen days for
the steamer Dora we arrived at Juneau
Oct l. We waited there five days for
the boat, and arrived at Seattle on the
9Th OF October.

Up to the present time the belief has
almost universally obtained that Mt.

1904 feet above the level of the sea,

but the recent work done by the

conclusively that Mt. St Elias is over

The country was wild and beautiful.
Our journey carried us mostly above

some places as rugged as those of the

abundance everywhere below the snow

grouse and caribou. We also saw some

first at the head of Indian creek, some
twenty miles up from the Sushitna.

crossed the main divide at am elevation
of 4,200 feet. In the center of. the pass
