Anxious to Go to the Front.
"The hospital ship Relief and the
transports Tacoma, Sherman and
Grant, have all departed for Manila
| Previous to the departure of the Ia
coma, the military authorities caused
a search to be made for five soldiers
of the hospital corps stationed here,

have lost between 20 and so men in the
last few days, by desertion. All the
soldiers here are anxious to be sent to
Manila. The men think they can steal

a Sorry Lot of Horses.
The transport Centennial arrived
from San Francisco on the fifth. She
brought 800 horses, GO of them hanging
i'll sings and ready to die from simple
exhaustion. Two of them died after
reaching port. The horses had been
at sea for eight days. each n fas-
tened to 4 stall just wide enough and
long enough for its body. For eight
days the suffering animals had no
sleep nor rest whatever. They stood
and kept balance with the rolling ship.
A few days more and more deaths from
exhaustion could not have been avoid.

ed animals brought from Nevada and
Oregon. They arrived thin and faded.
a large proportion of them only kept
alive by stimulants. About 20 gallons
of alcohol was given the horses dur
ing the Centennial's trip. The ami
mails were unloaded here and will be
turned out to pasture until the return
of the transport from San Francisco.
Want Immigration Laws Changed.
The cabinet recently considered a
petition from the Planters association
to eliminate a clause in the immigrant
rules requiring that ten per cent. OF
all contract laborers brought into the
country shall be required for compli-
ance with this rule and the same is
forfeited if the proportion named is
not adhered to. The planters want
this bond requirement annulled.
No Authority to Act.
"The government decided that while
The planters had acted in good faith
in their endeavors 10 secure American
and European laborers. it did not feel
that it had the authority to eliminate
the clause referred to. holding that the
authority rested with the Legislature
only"

SEVERE STORM IN NEBRASKA.
From n High Wind, Assuming the
Proportions of a

Omaha. Neb., Oct. IA storr.I of
unusual violence, particularly for this
time of year, visited the country in the
vicinity of Hardy, Neb., late Sunday
afternoon. The wind had been high
all day, and near night assumed the
proportions of a tornado. \ large
mount of damage WAS done to small
buildings and several large ones were
unroofcd. A brick schoolhouse Yves
unroofed, and the walls so badly
cracked that it will have to be torn
down. The enginehouse at the Hardy
elevator was wrecked. Several barns
were blown down, and the aggregate
less will amount to many thousands of
dollars. All over the state a high
wind prevailed all day, which was fol-
lowed by Il steady rain. The rain will
be very welcome, because it is needed
by fall grain,and will check the prairie
fires which have become very frequent,
and have done considerable damage.
