Winful Misrepresentation.

Woonsocket Herald: The copper
head daily at Sioux Falls is working
the soldier racket for political purpose.
and its editors are devoid of one spark
of patriotism. What policy has the
Press to propose? Does it support the
United States in the Philippines?
Does the editor of the Press favor
Agulnaldo as against the government
OF the United States? 1t is one thing
to kick and complain, and quite diff
ferent proposition to do and TO act.
The editor of the Press has known for
ever month that our regiment had
been relieved, yet 1t attempts to con-
ceal that fact, and digs up conditions
that existed when their exhaustive
campaign ended two months ago. At
Marllao the regiment was in fine con-
dltlon; at Malolos and Calumpil hard
service WAS showing on the BOYS, but
they were still in good condition. The
last weeks campaign against San Fer
nando completely prostrated the troops.
They were promptly relieved and sent
10 Manila about two months ago. A
copy OF Freedom, dated at Manila
June l, and for which we are indebted
TO one OF our boys says: "The First
South Dakota boys came in from San
Fernando yesterday afternoon. They
have returned for much needad rest,
and will occupy the old site OF Camp
Stotsenburg at Santa Mesa. The South
Dakota ls one Of the regiments that
bore the brunt of the fighting, from
Manila all the way to San Fernando.
Together with the Nebraskans. the
South Dakota boys held up the fight
ing end OF the right flank. Their work
WAS the more arduous because OF the
whip-cracker-like swing OF their end
OF the line. Their loss in the San Fer
nando' Malolos campaign aggregates
nearly 200 killed and wounded They
too, entered the fight with strong
and lighting thousand. Yesterday 526
mon came down from the front, and OF
these some 200 are answering sick re-
port. The boys are delighted TO be in
the city again, even tn ugh it be in the
suburbs. They have not yet begun to
think much o. going home-there are
80 many regiments in the list before
them"

The Tone of oxford Univer.,+x.

The Tone of Oxford University.
The atmosphere of culture which per-
vades every part Of the university is
the truest cause Of Oxford's greatness
Dull indeed must the student be who

ity life. 1t strikes the foreigner imme-
diately. The first evidence Of it comes
perhaps in the course of the first con-
versation in a Students room, at which
he happens to be present. He will not
fail to notice the correctness of express
sion, and usually the vigor and fresh
ness Of thought, which are the salient
characteristics Of the conversation of
the best Oxford men. OF course there
are exceptions. There are frequent
examples of the literary dude in Ok
ford as veil as anywhere else of the
man who sacrifices all pretense to sin
cerity and soundness to a momentary
and half cheap, epigrammatic bril-
liancy Of expression. But this is not
true of the average Oxford man.-Har-

Reassured.

They had been married seven years.
The doctor had been called in and pro-
nounced him very sick man. AS his
wife entered the room after the doc
tors last visit he called her to his bed
side, and in tremulous voice he re-
marked:
Darling, I am going"
Leaning over him, she stroked his
head gently and reminiscently replied:
"Cheer up, Clarence! That remark
assures me that you will live. Don't
you remember how often you said
that during our courting days and how
persistently you didn't go?-Boston

RETURN OF DIR. WILLIAMS.
VIII Preach In Alexandria for Those of
the Presbyterian Faith.


Rev. DIR. Geo. Williams has been
preaching at Blair, Neb, for several
years but he recently resigned the pas.
torate of that church and accepted 8
call OF the Presbyterian church at
Alexandria. He arrived here Wedne
day and expects at once TO commence
his duties in the neigh boring town.
His family will remain in Mitchell and
probably a third of his time will be
spent here. THE REPUBLICAN recog.
nizes in DR.. Williams & strong and able
preacher of the gospel and is pleased to
see him in our midst again. Previous
to his departure from Blair farewell
reception WAS rendered him, and the
following account of the affair was pub
lished in the Blair Courier
On Monday evening q farewell recep-
tion was rendered Rev. Geo. Williams,
d. D., at r. w. Kenny's by the mem
bers of the University Club of this
place. For over two years he has been

ents to the work of building UP a love
for the intellectual in history and liter
ature. There was short musical pro-
gram. Miss Ada jackson playing two
beautiful piano solos, Miss Bessie Pal
mer sang and John KenDv played few
selections on the violin. DR.. Williams
reviewed the work done by the class in
G. very interesting way and be said he
had found much pleasure in doing his
part, He said he had enjoyed not a
little the meeting of the member in
social way and deepest regrets were his
at parting. He urged the club to con-
tinue the course for there is much of
interest to be gotten out of it, our lives
would be poorer if we stopped now.
He said it would give him pleasure
when he was gone to hear OF the good
work the club was doing. He spoke
teelingly for the ties were dear that
had bound him to the class and the
work. And fond indeed the class has
come to be of DR.. Williams. We shall
miss him from the city, from the
church, from the club and from our
lives. His sociality, his intellectually
his spirituality will be greatly missed
among us. Fortunate we feel for such
contact with such life and with him
go our loves and our best wishes.

WHILE IN THE PHILIPPINES.
Fred Tobn Talks of the Year He Spent in
the Philippine Is ands.

the Philippine Is ands.
Nearly one year ago Fred Tohin land
ed at Manila as privats soldier in the
South Dakota regiment and the year,
he said while in conversation with The
CAPITAL, had been full of ex-
periences. He enlisted at Sioux Falls,
May /, 1898, and was assigned to Co.
3, Capt. A. B. Sessions being in COM
mnnd. The regiment left Sioux Falls
early in June for San Francisco and
sailed from that place q short time after
the 4th of July for Manila, arriving
there about Aug. s. He was honora-
bly, discharged from the service June IL,
at Camp Stotsenburg, Manila, by rea-
son of 3 wound received while in bat
tie. His discharge papers bore the
endorsement of his captain that "he
was q good soldier and honest and
faithful to his duty" The govern
ment in giving him his discharge gave
him transportation to San Francisco,
mileage home to Mitchell and 1853 in
cash, He enlisted ''for two years or
until the close of the war"
When the regiment first landed q,
Manila they we're put into quarters and
did guard duty until the war broke out.
The first battle Fred was in occurred
on Feb. 30 and he was that unfortunate
as to get wounded. Ee was ehot by
Remington rifle in the bands of an
insurgent The bullet entered his
body just above the collar bone and
passed through his body, coming out
just below the shoulder blade, and
passing through the top OF his right
lung. His knapsack strap stopped the
bullet and when the surgeon undressed
him the bullet dropped to the floor.
Fred carries the bullet as a memento
Of the battle. he was taken to the
hospital and remained at Manila about
six weeks, and although he returned to
his regimental quarters at San Fernan-
10 he WAS never able to again go on
duty. When the regiment first landed |
ne said the boys were unable to stand |
she heat but as time wore on they soon
became acclimated and got along very
nicely.
When he left Manila, June II, Fed
said about one-third of the regi- |
nent was fit for duty. Two weeks
before they we're brought in from the
iring line with the understanding that
hey were to remain in Manila until
hey were sent home. BE said the
boys felt they had done their duty and
we're now willing to return home. The
boys were all getting along
nicely when he left. Frank McLain
imped little from his wound in the
eg, and WAS again on duty. Tom Briggs
vas still in the hospital, eick with fever.
Jhas. Rub WAS on police boat, which
'atrolled the river.
Fred said that 80 men in each COM
'any was equipped with the Krag-
Iorgenson rife while they were in bat
le and that while the old Springfield |
lid the deadliest work yet the Krag
vas better able to reach the enemy.
The Filipinos were afraid of the
'pringfelds and particularly we're they
.fraid OF the Americans. They were
'rave enough fighting among them
selves but they could not stand the
American method of rushes.
He said that the. general sentiment
'ver there was that the Filipinos would
i've up in several months. and that
he Americans would kesp after them
Until they did.
