FROM GENERAL Funston
He Writes Briefly to the Register OF
his Duties in the Philippine
Islands

Sandstone, Luzon, Augusta, 1900.
Dear Scott:
know that l should not have any
friends as have been very neglectful
in the matter of letter writing, but
have been awfully busy since | came
back to the Islands and have had
more work than | ever had before. II
la made me to certain extent ne
glectful OF things and persons not on
the spot.
There is not much to say of myself.
| have command of 1900 soldiers
scattered over considerable portion
OF central Luzon. There are roads to
build. local civil governments to be
established, supplies, to be brought
up and distributed to various stations.
There are bandits--plenty of Them
to be suppressed and you may rest as
sured that we make short shift of them.
There are still some bands of insur-
gents out and although they scrupu-
lousy avoid contact with force OF
our troops if even one quarter their
number they lie in wait for small de-
tachments and in few cases over
whelm them. ] have run down and
pretty severely punished several OF
these outfits, but DISCRIMINATING them
is a pretty hard task because of the
fact that when too closely pursued
they hide their rifles and scatter to
their homes. Our task is greatly in
creased by the fact thatthey no longer
wear uniform or any distinctive
mark but use the dress of the noncom-
batants of the country.
We have just gotten hold OF some
documents that would make fine Re-
publican campaign material and am
having them translated. They are in
structions transmitted from Aguinaldc
to his subordinates to keep up the
fight, hoping that they may bring
about the defeat of Mckinley. They
say their only hope of independence
lies in the election of Bryan. Thes'
documents should not be confoundeC
with the ones got last April, an &C
count of which capture appeared n
the papers. The present batch is the
product of one Col. Sandico, who Il

FIRST RURAL DELIVERY ROUTE
The People of Liberty Have Things
Working For Twenty-Six
Mile Route.

Liberty, Allen Co., Kans., Sept. y.
Editor REGISTER, lola, Kans.,
Dear Sir:-No doubt you would like
to know how we are progressing with
our petition for free mail delivery.
We have on our petition about one
hundred signers living on or near the
route and have forwarded the petition
to Hon. j. d. Bowersock, NJ. c., and
have assurance that he will aid us all
he can for its early establishment.
The route, starting from lola, makes
circuit of twenty-six miles and will
accommodate upwards of one hun
bred families, The people are anxious
for it seemingly, and it will soon be
made to pay. Kindly assist us and
we assure YOU it will be appreciated
by the patrons. OF course we hope to
be in lola next Saturday to hear our
next Vice-President, Roosevelt. We
voted for John c. Fremont in SO ano
we hope to be able to go to the elec
ton in November and vote the full
Republican ticket as | have done toi
forty-four years, 1t seems very fool
ish for man to cast his vote for The
Bryan party and against prospect
ty, but then people do many foolish
acts and no doubt there will be some
vote the Demo-Pop ticket. guessno
as many as four years ago, and hay'
been guessing for several years an'
my prediction on the Presidential
candidate has always come true
Now | predict that Mckinley anC
Roosevelt will be elected by a create
ma iority than four years ago,
Kansas will go Republican withou
doubt, but then we must not go t.
sleep over it. We have plenty of wor
to do before election and the Republi
cans must all be up and ready for an
emergency. very truly

of Americas progress since 60. 1t is
a beautiful record. but he never limited
even vaguely that he and his party
fought every step of that progress
that they predicted ruin and imperial
ism repeatedly during that time. As
he said, this new danger came sudden
y before hima danger henever dream
ed of-until Bryan told him OF it in
his speech of acceptance.
On a damp, gloomy night like last
night listening to wall of woe like
that was hard on the constitution but
lola people are prosperous and happy
and they sat cheerfully while the
doctor told them that while they
thought they were prosperous they
are not. and then marched cheerfulll

PROPHESIEs MADE TO ORDER.

THE last time Mr.. Bryan wanted to
be elected president, he asked for
votes on the prophesy that if he was
defeated The following conditions
would result:
"If Mckinley and the Republican
party are successful and put in power
for the next four years, wages will be
decreased, hard times will come upon
US, and over thelandthe price of wheat
will 20 down and the price of gold
will go up; mortgages on our homes
will be foreclos-d by the money lend
ers; shops and factories will close.
We will export no goods and we will
import from foreign lands all the
goods we use: thus will ruin, want
and misery be with u.s."
Not content with the ruin which he
predicted in 1896 and the fact that this
prediction was false, he now goes one
step further and predicts the complete
overflow and ruin of the Republic in
the following words:
To-day we are engaged in con-
troversy which will determine whether
we are to have a Republic in which
the government derives its just powers
from the consent of the governed, or
an empire in which brute force is the
only recognized source of power.
When such an issue is raised there
can be only two parties-the party,
whatever its name may be, which be-
lieves in republic, and party,
whatever its name, which believes in
an empire"

Great credit has been given to the
Allied Generals in China for prompt

Indigestion, Liver, and Kidney

IMPERIALISM is IMPOSSIBLE

AMONG the provisions of the Federal
Constitution which bear upon this
matter is paragraph twelve of section
eight, article one, which among other
things gives Congress power; ITO
raise and support armies, but no APP
preparation of money to that use shall
be for longer term than two years. "
Thus the people through their repre-
sentatives in Congress have complete
and absolute control over the army.
They hold the purse, and, in so doing,
they hold the sword. Imperialism in
the sense in which Mr.. Bryan uses the
term, is an impossibility. The Con-
stitution prevents it. Imperiali SIN
without an army or an army without
money to pay and support it is vag-
airy of Democratic imagination. We
can never have any more imperialism
in this country than the people see fit
to authorize from time to time.
Whenever they wish to modify or re-
duce our military strength or activity,
the matter rests wholly with the peo-
pie. Even Mr., Bryan himself would
be helpless. u

LOST HER PURSE.

Mrs. r. L. Ryno, who lives in the Ben
nett block on East Park street, started
out yesterday on a shopping trip, ac-
cpmpanied by her little tot just able to
ak. While walking along East Park
and opposite a butcher shop, the baby
stumbled. STOPPING to lift the little one
to its feet, she dropped her pocket book,
but did not discover the loss until she
had reached Broadway. Returning to the
place where the child fell, she made a
search on the sidewalk, but without avail.
The butcher, however, saw the pocket
book fall, and directly afterwards OBJ
served a young man pick 1T up. The
butcher told the finder to whom the
property belonged, M advised him to
leave 1t in the store. The finder, how
ever, paid no heed to the admonition and
walked off. The butcher notified the po-
lice authorities and i'm a short time the
finder of the pocket book was in the GUS
tody of Detective Murphy.
At the Jail he gave his name as James
Henry. When searched, the contents of
the pocket 200 We're found whole, Mrs.
Ryno, coming in meanwhile and identt-
flying every article of property, which
consisted Of $45 in cash, a small watch
and jewelry which would bring the vail
ue of the find to $65. Henry whistled
while the search was being made, n
made no concern about the arrest. He
will be sent to the county jail n "a
charge Of grand larceny booked against
him.
