CORPORAL OMAR WILSON
Writes Prom the Philippines an
Interesting Letter.
MANILA, P. l., Sept. IL, '99.

DEAREST MOTHER - - look
ed for letter from you in every mail
and have been disappointed until the
last. l went to my dinner, which
consisted OF beef steak, stewed prunes,
potatoes, bread and coffee, in the al
ternoon, and then to the Company for
my mail, when I received your letter.
We are going to take the field again
in few days, and do not know
when will get to write to you again.
Our duty has been hard since we
have been in the city. We have all
duties to perform of civil character in
q city of 100000 population, besides
taking care of all the drunken SOL
diers and sailors on the island.
Manila is on the boom. I never
saw q place come out like it has since
we came TO town six months ago.
Then no one except the police on duty
were allowed on the streets after 7
o. m. We had orders to shoot all we
caught out after that hour, Now
they can walk out until $3.50; after
that time if we catch any one out
American or Philipino-put them un-
der arrest, give him nights lodging
at the police station and ask him to
donate $500 to the city fund and let
him go his way rejoicing. This seems
to have a good effect on the Filippinos
and Chinoes, as they are TOO fond of
money to have to be taken up for the
second offense.
From what can read in the papers
from home (anywhere in the United
States is home to me now, the peo-
pie are opposed to this war. We have
gone too far to withdraw. We have
lost too many precious lives. l think
the rebellion should be put down al
any cost. My battalion is guarding
the arsenal, the magazines, the torpe-
do station and the commissary.
1 will send you some more papers
,and you can get all the news. Manila
is queer city. You step out on the
street and the first thing you see is a
saloon sign, and every other place is
a saloon as far as you can see. The
report is we are going to another is-
land. / do not know how true it lie.
We have had good luck so far; only
lost three men out of my Company
two killed in action and one drank
himself to death.
Everything is high here. Good
milk is hard to find. Il have paid as
high as SLIGO for one gallon that was
d, half water.
MScrything was Spanish when we
first came here, but it is better now.

Immigrants Arrive.

Great Falls. Feb. l4-Immigrants
from the eastern and central states
continue to arrive despite the cold
weather and the resultant unfavorable
conditions for land seeking. says the
Chinook Opinion. The fact is, Montana
enjoys such an enviable reputation for
balmy and delightful weather that those
who have endured the long and hard
winters of the semifrigid north central
states and their meager. uncertain and
ill-paid crops are looking toward our
glorious empire for relief as a wrecked
mariner scans the horizon for the res
cuing sail. The fame of the Milk river
valley has spread to the remotest corn
ers of the union and the name of Chi
nook, its metropolis, is accepted as a
synonym for perpetually fine weather
and soft zephyrs. While this is not
quite the case, We do lay claim to hay
ing more sunshine and warm weather
than any other part of Montana and,
this being the case, we may justly
maintain that we have the finest strip
of country on earth. Prominent among
the recent arrivals is A. NJ. Olson of
West Branch, Ia. Mr.. Olson is the ad-
vance guard of a Danish colony who

man of % years and a son If Mr.. and
Mrs. William Myersick of Cottonwood
precinct in Fergus county lying near
Lewistown. When the frs. cal; for
troops in this war came both of the
Myersick boys, Will and Edgar, applied

by the mastering officer at Helena.
Rev. Albert Pfaust, member CT the

Pleased with Choate.

Lew Rosen, IN washington Star.
Ambassador Choate is receiving as
fine advance notices" in the press here
as were ever received by any star actor
on the eve of his appearance in this
country. They evidently expect great
things from your new representative at
the court of st. James. The papers for
the past two weeks have been dotted
with biographical notices and more or
less authentic anecdotes about him.
While the chestnut roasters have been
busy on the Wintry streets, the chest
nut vendors have been quite as active
in the warm editorial offices. There is
d particularly pleasant perfume, a sym
pathetic flavor, to the Choate chestnut
find these two or three anecdotes per-
sstently cropping up in the local and
provincial prints. Choate was once
asked to define an after-dinner speaker.
"Depew," he answered. HE is perfect
in the art of saying nothing" They re-
tail his speech in the suit of Hunt, the
architect, against Mrs. Paran Stevens.
Choate spoke of her humble origin and
told of her rise until received by roy
atty. And how, gentlemen" he asked
the jury, 'how did she reach that i'm
posing eminence? Upon a mountain of
unpaid bills!" Among some of Choate's
aphorisms and sayings already current
here are these: IF you want to get
money for a mission out of a rich man,
don't approach him through his wife
Send somebody elses wife to him.
When asked who he would like to be if
he could not be himself he promptly
and gallantly responded, II should like
to be Mrs. Choate's second husband"
Talleyrand never paid a woman a
neater compliment.
