CALUMPTT, p, l., April 29, 1899.
DEAR FoLKs-I don't feel very
much like writing, as it is so hot, but
will scratch you few lines just the
same. You will notice that we have
been at it again and are now Ia
Calumpit, which is about eight miles
above Malalos. We started from
Malalos last Sunday april 23), and
marched about six miles. The Ne
braskas and Iowas had a scrap with
the "nigs' on that day and the Ne
braska colonel and a number Of their
men and officers were killed. We
have had three or more hard fights
and have captured the strategic point
OF the island-this place. In order to
get at the town we have had to cross
two large rivers, one about two miles
from and the other right at the town,
each crossed by an enormous railroad
bridge. The country approaching the
first river is open, cornfslds, and the
"nigs" were strongly entrenched on
the opposite bank with earthworts,
protected by railroad iron, etc.
We approached the river under a
fearful fire and then laid down or tho
bank and returned fire. The Nebras-
kas finally got across at a shallow
point while we drew fire for about an
hour and shortly after they ran. The
scrap lasted about two hours and a
half. They had dropped span Of the
bridge so that it could not be used.
Our loss was sixteen wounded and
four killed. Two OF the men were
from Co. II and were killed instantly.
The second river was marched to as
soon as possible and cannon planted
so as to command the brigade and
prevent them from destroying it..

Immediately after the exercises Of

held its regular meeting, elected OFF,
GERS for the ensuing year, and sent
greetings to the members in Manila.
Then followed the alumni banquet at
which 80 people were present. Feast
ing and toasting occupied the entire
afternoon. In the evening the final
reception was held In the art rooms.
The commencement exercises were
a success from beginning to end.
They also closed the most success
full year in the history Of the
college. The enrolment during the
year was considerable over 400, the
largest the college has ever had.
The vacation just beginning will be
long, but for many connected with
the college 1t will be a busy one.
Two new buildings will be erected this
summer, besides extensive improve
ments are contemplated almost in

would have been. impregnable II we
had held them, but they couldn't t
stand the business and after a day we
got across and ran them about three
miles. They used artillery against US
here but didn't hurt anybody that l

Third Battalion under Englesby, con-
sisting of Companys n, L and G, ran
up against a "nigger" trench and
charged on IL. They stayed, however,
and the boys shot them in a hand-to-
hand fight, some using their guns as
clubs. They killed them all, 3S,-the
second hand-to-hand fight on the Is

a fellow by the name Of Stolty from

all from Co. II. l did not get hit;
neither did Snyder.
I feel good now, but the heat is ter.
rife. We are camped about ten rods
from the river and swim to our
hearts content. They tell US that
things will be at an end soon. I saw
some Philippine officers coming in un-
der flag OF truce and 1t Is said they
wanted to discuss the situation with
Gen. Macarthur. We have the "nigs'
driven about three miles ahead of US
in a strip of timber and after that
they will have to fight In an open coun-

Early In the evening people began
to surge toward the college, and long
before the hour Of opening, every seat
In the college chapel was taken.
Then chairs were carried In until
every available space was occupied
and standing room could not be found.
A large number turned away, but
others fingered, and occupied the
stairs in the hallway and the porch
outside and endeavored in the best
way possible to catch glimpses and
hear what the seniors had to say, as
they for the last time appeared as
college students.
Thursday morning the regular COM

A Former Resident of This City Killed
ut Piedmont.
On Monday telegram was received
here stating that d. B. Cornell had
been killed that morning at Pied
mont, s. D. The news was conveyed
to Mr.. and Mrs.W. H. Cornell, parents
of the unfortunate young man and
their grief was heart rsnding.
Durwood spent his youth in this
city and at one time worked in the
printing offices here.
Afterward he took up the occupa-
tion OF brakeman on the North West
ern and after his marriage to Miss
Myrtle Webster went to Chadron,
Neb., where his family has since re-
sided and he has been employed on
the Elkhorn and Missouri Valley rail-
way as brakeman.
From meagre telegram it was
learned that the accident, which
caused Durwood's death, occurred at
5 o'clock a. M, while his train was
switching cars at Piedmont.
The deceased was 30 years of age
and leaves a wife and two children.
He held life insurance In the A. o.
U. w, being a member OF Brookings
lodge.
The remains arrived here last even
ing and the funeral occurred this af-
ternoon at 2 o'clock and was in charge
OF the A. o. u. W.
