HE MAY BE DEL IN he
PHILIPPINES UNTIL 19O1-ONE
OF HIS CARRIAGE HORSES
STOLEN.
Captain Joseph B. Handy, who is in
the commissary Department at Manila,
has written a letter to a Wilmington
friend, in which he says:
Il may be held here until July, 1901,
and will at least not get away until
January or February of next year; so
l will see at least a portion Of the cam
paign which we will begin at the close
of the rainy season. A part of Novem-
ber and all of December and January
are ideal months for campaigning. /
suppose, of course, we will take advan-
tage of it. Now it is almost impossible
to do anything. One must see the del
uge we have to understand it.
Investing one thousand yards Of the
city Of Manila last year, with the in
surgents holding the other four or five
miles of line against the Spaniards was
a very different thing from going out
this year and looking for the insur-
gents. The taking Of Manila was a
comparatively slight affair, but the
work on hand now is a serious mat
ter"
An item in Captain Handys letter
Illustrates the prevalence of crime on
tie part of the natives at the present
ti,e in Manila. His letter says:

Mr.. Gunderson during his brief tenn

of his duties with a determination to
make the church work success and
we believe he has the ability and en-
ergy to accomplish it.
Mr.. Gunderson has just issued q

MITCHELL BOY WOUNDED.

Frank Nolan was Shot in the Hip Dur
ing the Battle at Manila Saturday.
Mitchell has direct interest in the
situation at Manila for there are about
20 young men from the city and county
who are mem bers of the South Dakota
regiment. In the battle at Manila
Saturday night one of MitcEell's best
boys-Frank McLain-was in the thick
est OF the fight and he happened to be
in the path of an insurgent bullet with
the result that he was wounded in the
right hip. All honor to Frank who
stood so nobly in defense OF his country,
and it was honest, brave blood which he
shed on foreign soil. 81. 81. McLain,
Franks father, regretted to hear of his
boys injury, yet he was proud of the
fact that his son stood with his face
to the enemy.
The South Dakota regiment was in
the battle from the start and was on
the field of battle all night long.

The cold weather.

A good many years have passed by
since the oldest inhabitant has witness
sed such spell of cold weather as has
been prevalent for the past ten days,
and the reports from other states show
that we have not been alone in the
cold. Saturday, Sunday and Monday,
at an early hour in the morning, the
thermometer registered 25 degrees be-
low zero, and it makes pretty chilly
record for three days, in fact there is
hardly any year to compare with it,.
Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin aud Mime
sofa and some other western states are
enjoying the same cold snap.

THE POULTRY SHOW.
Wan he Held in Mitchell Next Week for
Three Days.

Will BE Held in Mitchell Next Week for
Three Days.
The COW had her inning at Sioux
Falls last week and next week the
chicken will roost on the topmost pin-
nacle in Mitchell, the dates selected be-
ing Feb. Is, 16 and II. In the great
production of butter the hen is liable to
be lost sight of and to prevent any such
thing the Dawson County Poultry AS
sociation will give their third annual
exhibition on the dates named. On
the second night of the exhibition an
effort will be made to organize state
association, and it is hoped that poul-
try fanciers all over the state will give
all the encouragement possible in this
enterprise. This county association in
its previous shows. has demonstrated
that there is much interest in poultry
and by merging it into a state associa-
tion, the benefits will be that much
greater. Mr.. Geo. Holden, of Owa-
tonna, Minn., has been secured to Judge
the poultry and his work will un-
doubtedly be satisfactory. A suitable
room has been secured in which to hold
the exhibition and every effort will be
put forth by the local chicken men to
make the affair as successful as the
past two. N. j. Nielsen is the secre-
tary OF the association and all entries
should be made to him.
