laundry of len or five or even two
years ago. Methods that used to
be the best in use are now discarded
and the consequence is that new
and improved machinery has done
away very largely with the wear
and tear of clothes, the cracking
and blistering of linen and other
familiar annolances. The modern
laundry is a place where linen is
treated as linen; where the utmost
care is taken in every detail Of its
treatment, and where the patron is
assured that his work will be as
carefully looked after as if it were
in.the hands of his wife. That's the
kind of a laundry we are running.

Had Only si1ty-one Men.


Major Bell had only sixty-one men in
his party, and his object was to recon-
hotter the enemy's position along the
Quengua river and ascertain the
strength of the rebel forces. The cav

surrounded by the rebels. News Of the
engagement was hurried back to Ma

their ground CALAMITY against q far

FASTENED forward with reinforcements
for the cavalrymen. Two battalions Of
the First Nebraska regiment and six
companies of the Fifty-flrst Iowa, with
four field guns, were quickly on the
scene and attacked the enemy with vim
and vigor. The Filipinos made strong
defense. but were ultimately driven
from their position. The first reinforce
ments to arrive was a battalion Of the
| First Nebraska, under Major Morford.
Another battalion of the Nebraskans,
led by Colonel Stotsenberg in person,
six companies of Iowans. and four guns
of the Utah battery, quickly followed.
