SOLDIER FROM MANILA.
Private Benjamin Smiths Experience
In Philippines.

In the opinion of Private Benjamin
Smith, an honorably discharged Utah
volunteer soldier there are worse places
for person to cast his lot than at Ma
Mia. Private Smith is Mount Pleas
ant boy who enlisted with the hospital
crops that was sent to Manila last May
from this state His duties as hospital
steward brought him in close contact
with the Utah batteries, and Afforded
him opportunity to observe the courage
and patient suffering of the Utah SOL
der boys up to last November, when
he secured his honorable release. Since
Christmas Private Smith has been in
active hospital service at the Preside,
attending to the wants of the invalid
volunteers who were brought back on
the several transports sailing from the
Philippines. Private Smith arrived in
this city yesterday, on his way home.
OF the heroism of the officers and men
of the Utah artillery he speaks in glow
ing terms. Judging from their soldier
like conduct on the memorable night of
July 81, when the Spaniards Stormed
the trenches only to be driven back
and beyond the city of Manila. which
fell into the keeping of the American
forces, Private Smith doubts not that
the Utah sons performed their part
nobly in the recent engagements with
the Filipinos.
Referring to Major George H. Pen
rose. who now has charge of the gen
eral hospital work at Manila, Private
Smith states that from the night of
July 81 until Aug. 8 the medical officer
never once stopped to sit down to eat
his meals or to catch a wink of sleep.
all the while ministering to the wants
of the sick and wounded in the hos
pital.
When Private Smith left San Fran
cisco there were eighty-four sick SOL
diers in the hospital waiting the return
of health and strength so they may re-
sumo their homeward journeys. The
number of patients, however, he be-
lieves will be largely increased very
soon by the arrival of four TRANSPORTS
returning from the islands bringing in
valid and wounded soldiers home as
far as the Preside.
When Private Smith left Manila sew

and kindred in Utah We're entrusted to
him, but if was his misfortune to lose
his knapsack containing the missives
to the loved ones at home.

"FEED IN TRANSIT" BOYCOTT.
Local Railway Officials Discuss Ac-
ton of Stockmen.

Since the Utah Woolgrowers' associa-
ton adopted it's feed in transit reso-
luton, which practically gives notice
of boycott against the Union Pacific,
there has been unlimited discussion as
to the outcome of the matter, and, in
cidentally, of the merits and dement's
of the feeding in transit privilege. The
Union Pacific originated the plan back
in the SOS, and for good reasons. 1t
was intended for the benefit of stock
men generally, and the county pene-
trated by that system. But now con-
ditions have changed, the privilege, it
is claimed, has been greatly abused,
so all the lines running into Nebraska
and Kansas have determined to abol-
ish it. The, Union Pacific is one of
these and entered the agreement viii
lingly 1t contends that the scalper
derives the only benefit in these days,
and that it is really to the disadvan-
tage of the road to continue the priYi-
lege.
other Colorado-Utah lines are for its
continuance, though it can be plainly
seen that it is neither profit or loss to
them. General Traffic Manager Babcocll
of the Rio Grande Western expressed
himself as follows: 1T is my belief
that the difficulties are greatly over
estimated by these roads that are to
abolish the feeding in transit privilege.
While their contention that the scalp
er reaps a reward, in buying of The
shipper his expense bill, is well found
ed, it must be considered that ultimate
ly the road hauls the cattle and there
is really no difference in the company's
revenue. 1t is a subject open to wide
discussion, however. on both sides, and
how it will end can hardly be fore
shadowed.''
General Freight Agent Choate of the
Union Pacific declined to express
himself, when asked as to what effect
the resolution, or threat, would nave
on his road. I'VE, of course, desire no
fight with the stockgrowers of the
country" he said, and hope it will
work out for the best"

RETURN FROM MANILA.
Women of the Red Cross Arrive In
San Francisco.

San Francisco, April S.-The United
States transport steamer Newport ar
rived here today, twenty-nine days
from Manila. She brought eleven pas
sengers. most of whom were women of
the Red Cross society.
The women who returned were order
ed home by General Otis, who feared for
their welfare, owing to the actions of
the Filipinos, and the possibility of
some catastrophe to them during the
course of the war. Most of the women
came from Cavite, where operations
were very active just before the New
port sailed.
Among those who returned was Mrs.
John Lucie. wife of Captain John Lu-
Gle. Mrs. Lucie is a niece of Patrick
Ready, and a relative of Roscie Conll-
ling. She was married to Captain Lu-
Gle shortly before he was ordered to
Manila, and her honeymoon was spent
on the voyage to the Philippines.
The other women on the ship were
Mrs. Knapp, Miss O'Brien, Mrs. Nc
Ney and daughter, Mrs Daywalt and
Mrs. Beach, all of the families of Off
GERS at Cavite. Captain Mcclure and

REDUCING THE CURVES.
Some Heavy Work Done In Spanish
Fork Canyon.

Not the least important piece of work
now engaging the attention of the Rio
Grande Western company is that of re-
ducing the curves in Spanish Fork can
yon. More than sixty teams are at
work, and by the 18th of this month
the new steam shovel will be scattering
dirt at the rate of 1,500 cubic wards
per day That is, if the abilities of the
new apparatus, recently purchased of
the Marion Steam Shovel company,
have not been overestimated by the
makers. Work trains will be put in on
the same date. The intention of the
company is to reduce all curves on the
line at this point to a per cent max
imum, and to reduce the ten-degree
curves to a much lighter curvature. The
new steam shovel is a great improve
ment over the old type and, at the COM
pletion of its maiden service, will be
used to ballast the track each year, as
required,

Track-laying commenced. or rather
was resumed on the Provo canyon ex-

gineer Yard put a large force of men to
work on II street, with instructions to
WORK as rapidly as possible toward the
canyon. The rails are of the standard
type, a large consignment having been
received by the company at Provo Fri
day. The grade throughout the canyon
is almost completed, and there will be
no delay in the work.
Superintendent Welby visited the

last evening that it would be a matter
of but a few weeks before work trains
enter Provo canyon. The outlook is
more encouraging than ever before, and
the people of the adjacent country are
naturally jubilant.

COFFEE COMPILATIONS.
Skin Usually Clears Up After Leav-
ing Off the Beverage.

In this country people are very much
addicted to the use of coffee, and to
that, perhaps, more than anything else,
is attributable the dark, muddy COM
piexions.
Mrs. ]. L. Stiles. a teacher, was pale,
weak, thin in flesh. wakeful, dyspeptic
and trembling on the verge of nervous
prostration. She discovered that the
cause of it all was coffee, and the way
she discovered ii was by disseminating
its use altogether and taking in its
place Postum Food Coffee exclusively.
She got so well. and got well so
quickly that she knows exactly what
caused the change. Now she advises
all her friends to use Postum, and is so
enthusiastic about it that she sends
printed notices of it in her letters to
them. and warns them to be sure and
have it made right. You already have
an account of my bitter experience with
coffee drinking. Caroline A. Jones.
