Our Increasing immigration.

According to the calculations Of
the immigration Bureau, there
will be more immigrants received
at the port OF New York during
the present fiscal year than for
many years past.
During the month OF November
the number admitted was 80,
This is almost double the usual
number received during this month
in recent years. December PROM
ises to be quite as heavy.
The Immigration Bureau is
alarmed by the TACT that a large
percentage Of these immigrants
come from the poorest and most
illiterate sections Of Eastern
Europe. They include Croats,
Dalmatians, BoSnians, Herzego
vinians and Montenegrians.
Many of these we could doubt
less do we'll enough without, the
men in many instances depending
upon the women Tor field work as
we'll as for household duties and
general drudgeTy.
The immigration Commission
ers should not let this disturb
them. In this country all such
evils correct themselves from the
very necessities oi altered condi-
tions.
OF course it is necessary that all
immigrants should come up to the
requirements OF law, but no Croat,
Dllmatian or Hun can get along
successfully as a western farmer If
he depends upon his wife to do the
ploughing and reaping. When
Mrs. Croat attempts to compete
with educated machineiV-with
reapeTs that pick up and tie The
sheaVes-with planters that drop
and cover the grain--with double
ploughs upon which men ride
she will find It high time to invite
the physical and moral support Of
her husband.
While the disgusted husband is
working his children will be
obliged to 60 to school and to
grow up into good cat zens.
II is estimated that the immigra-
tion to the port Of New York for
the present fiscal year will reach
$50, 900. an increase OF almost 40
per cent over last wear. And il
there IS among them all another

which we had so many killed and
wounded. The Second Battalion had
the firing line for our regiment. My
company was in the lead In the First
Battalion and Col. Stover sent me
with my First Platoon to march in
the rear of the right flank of the firing
line. When the battle commenced
was about 600 yards in the rear of the
Second Battalion, but it didn't take
us long to get up where the fun was.
We were In the most OF IL and were
among the first to wade or swim the
Marivla river and get into the trenches
that the "nigs" had left. / took my
First Platoon and moved out a short
distance to the right where they had
more sarthworks and there with the
aid Of my six-shooter l captured three
insurgents, who were armed with long
knives called "bolos." | ordered the
men to disarm them and we turned
them over TO the division prison guard.
Company X had no men wounded in

We left our trenches in line of battle
little before daylight Saturday morn
ing, March 25th. After moving about
800 yards we were welcomed by a
shower of Maussr and Remington bull
lets. OF course we had to return the
salute and our "Long Toms" spoke to
the effect that the natives were driven
from their strongholds, leaving many
dead and wounded for us to "plant."

vsRMILLioN LOST EVERYTHING.

The Athletic Association Disqualified Five
of the Students and She Lost the Cup.
Friday evening was held the annual
meeting of the Inter-C Collegiate AS.
sociation and eighteen delegates were
present. The members had an un-
pleasant duty before them and it was
with some reluctance they toek
action on the case. Sullivan, OF
Yankton, filed two afiidavits with the
board charging the Burkland brothers,
Weiland, Johnson and Jordan, all of
the Vermillion university, with hav-
ing violated one of the rules of the
association-that Of participating in
and competing for cash prizes. Sui
livan stated that these five participat-
ed in the fireman's tournament with
the Yankton department last year,
and at that time he said they were
warned not to engage IN the contests
as they would be brought up befo re
the association this year.
The Vermillion boys practically ad-
mitted the truth of the afiidavits, but
wanted to prove they were not pro-
fessionals. The delegates had but one
duty to perform under the circum-
stances as the rule In question had no
leniency for the situation and five men
were disqualified, and all events In
which they had participated as winners
were warded to the second man In the
event. Vermilllon had won enough
first places to give them the silver
cup and the championship but the re-
moval of the five disqualified mer
gave the cup to Yankton and the
second to Mitchell. When the de.
cision was rendered the three ver-
million delegates left the convention
and made the statement that the uni
vsrsity would withdraw from the as.
sociation. The election of officers fol.
lowed with this result:
President-John Connell, vermil.
lion.
Vice president--L. NJ Simmons, Red
field; +: r. Horton, Huron; J. w. f.
Davis, Yankton.
Secretary and treasurer-L. Miller,
Mitchell.
The gate receipts amounted to
$56l.s and after the expenses were
paid five colleges received $58. 80 each,
their share, and Mitchell was awarded
$780, .35 which included the expenses of
arranging the grounds, and will re-
ceive $50 each year to keep the grounds
in shape.
The convention adjourned after a
brief session this morning. The as
sociation meetings, as is understood,
has been located In Mitchell perman-

you 1t is terrible to lay In the reserve

not be able to shoot back. We only

the ''niggers" fought for every inch
that we took.

It was here that Privates Herman

wounded. Kruger was wounded in the

for as to drive them out. AS long as

AS soon as we arose the enemy's fire
was renewed with double energy and
we had it firmly impressed upon our
minds that "war is hell" IL was in
this battle that Arne Haugen, whom
you all know, was wounded. He was
shot through the right thigh. Roy s..
Nichols, Madison boy who belongs
to my company, was also touched, but
his wound was slight and he stayed
with the company. A bullet struck
his left shoulder on the top and didn'S
go through his coat, but made bad
bruise. 1t was In this place that your

but did not find them. The next day
was Sunday, but none Of us knew it or
thought Of it until night. The day be-
fore we had borne away to the right
Of the railroad which leads to Malalos
so we marched In a column Of fours
along the Polo road until our left
rested on the railroad; this took up the
most Of the day, but at p m, we were
in line Of battle before the town Of
Macauayan and there the artillery
opened on the insurgent trenches. 1t
was answered by a hail Of steel and
lead from the enemy, but we all laid
low and let them shoot.
A little after p. M, we heard the
trumpet call for US to move forward.

Mauser bullets. Lieut.. Roskie's knee
was just grazed while he was kneeling
behind tree and l was standing be-
hind large tree when bullet struck
the side of the tree and glanced just
enough to nearly miss my forehead; it
just touched my right temple enough
SO that could feel 1t. Had 1t not
struck the tree and glanced l would
not be writing TO you tonight, for 1t
would have hit me in the center OF

means.
We laid at this river and rested all
the next day and resumed our march
and fight at daybreak Wednesday
morning. We didn't meet with much
resistance until nearly night, when
they opened up on US at close range
while we we're crossing bridge over a
large river about three miles from
