at Bear Creek, Wis, to which place
the family removed from Canada.
The surviving children of Mrs. Beau
siau are Oliver, of Bear Creek, Wis;
Samuel, of Vernwood, Wis; Martin, of
Rhineland, Wis; Louis, of Sugar
Bush Mrs. Louise Pool, of Sugar
Bush; Mrs. Martha Bird, of Fond du
Lac, and Mrs. Elizabeth Ealy, of He
bron, Porter county, Ind. Mrs. Beau
siau is quite well preserved. Her
sight is good and she is strong in
body. She gets about the house and
home Of her son-in-law, Charles Bird,
with noticeable agility, never makes a
misstep and does a great deal of the
family housework. She has always
lived simple life, had only a fair
education, and she says that she has
done enough hard work to kill nine
tenths of the women of to-day. Mrs.
Beausiau intended starting one day
this summer for Hebron, Ind for a
visit with her daughter, who she
claims is only so years old, but she
was deferred on account of the eX-
tremely warm weather and postponed
the journey for a time. She was to
make the trip alone, and her ability to
have done so is not doubted by anyone
who knows her.

Situation II the philippines.

contained in the letters from Off
GERS and others in the Philippines.
A comment recently received from
a prominent officer on duty for a
time in Manila, one who has had
usual opportunities for observation
is worth reproduction. An extract
from his letter is as follows:
The true situation in the philip
pines is as follows;
The United States have no dis
interested friends in the islands
The natives are all instructors at
heart. The friars are against us
and our civilization. The natives
are down on the friars, but are in
tcnsely religious. They love the
ponp aud ceremony of the church
and they are full of superstitions.
They are a quick, bright people.
but lazy. They are not very
truthful nor very honest. They
are moral according to their cus-
toms. AS in Japan, one can enter
into the matrimonial state limited
by making proper arrangements
with the parents and the girl does
not lose caste, They look down on
.,,,,,,,o,, - Nroet;fufae
The people are not addicted to
drunkenness.
Our troops are scattered all over
the islands. They fill the hearts of
the natives with terror, In the
little fight that are continually oc.
curing, many natives are killed
and our losses trifling. In one
case, 100 natives killed and severely
wounded and not a soldier touched.
There are now rumors of uprising
in Manila. In some localities
where six months or more ago was
quiet is now disquiet. fear our
troops are over confident, and that
some small disasters may occur.
Some think Agunaldo is dead.
Four or FIVE OF their most promi-
nent officers are still at large, Mac
abulos, Alejandrlno, etc.
The development of the resources
of the country, especially the build
ing of railroads.
Firmuess in dealing with the
people; calling on those who who
pretend to be loyal to show it by
their acts and to defend themselves
from the Ladrones.
a definite announcement of the
United States on the church
question.
No church interference in state
affairs.
No state interference in church
affairs.
Friars to have the same rights
as, and no more than, other citi-
zens before the law. Churce prop
erty to be protected under the law
Just as other Corporate property,
and subject to taxation as in
Uuited States.
Supreme effort to spread the
English language over the Islands,
regardless of expense.
United States law and United
States money to be the standard
The above are just few of the
points that must be looked to before
peace will be assured.
The stupendous problem that
General Otis had to contend with
cannot be realized, even family, by
those away, and his masterfulness
in dealing with it under conditions
that would have crushed a less
strong man,
A popularity of these people that
is very important is their physical
weakness. They cannot do a full
man $ work. You must let them
work along in their own way, or
they will not work at all. They are
willing 10 receive small pay, bu
