FALSE RUMOR

CHARTERED AT OBRAS de PUERTO

MANILA, p. l., Nov. 81, lS99.-To the
Editor OF the BRECKENRIDGE News, SIR:
After having pleasant trip across the
States and the Pacific and that hearing
that through some misleading informa-
ton some OF my friends have learned or
rather heard that have been wounded
will say ii is not true. In fact have had
no chance to receive wound, and for
the benefit OF my friends now residing in
dear old Kentucky l will endeavor to
give brief description of my trip.
We left Fl. Monroe, Va, April IL,
1899 over the c. & O. r. r. for Cincin-
natl where we were transferred to the
Big Four r. R. thence to st. Louis
where we were again transferred to the
G. B. & Q r r. Here we were afforded
an opportunity to see the city as we had
about two hours to lay over using the
usual term J. We left st. Louis for Kan.
sas City where We were transferred
again. We left there for San Francisco
where we arrived April 10Th, abont 600
p. m. embarkipg Immediately on the
U. S. A. 7. Warren" sailing on the
following day. Nothing but sea-sickness
happened until We arrived at Honolulu
On the 9th Of April. Remaining here
for three days we were offered an ele-
CANT opportunity to visit the city. The
many points of interest were visited and
IN speaking of the beauty OF the city
will say that it is just such place as
God had designed the Garden OF Eden to
be before the downfall of Adam. Sailing
from here the only thing OF importance
was the crossing OF the International
Date Line which, of course, caused us to
lose a day May 9Th. After being at sea
for twenty days from Honolulu we hove
in sight OF old Luzon and about 200 D. M.
we crept by the Corrigidor sand as
quietly as Dewey had done and directly
before us on starboard side we could
see the wonderful destructive work
wrought upon the Spanish Fleet by the
invincible admiral.
After laying on board the Transport in
the Bay for nearly thirty-six hours we
| finally landed and encamped on the
Luneta OF Alfonso XII where we re-
NAMED for only one week.
Upon breaking camp We were ordered
/ to quarter Ourselves in building known
as the "0bras de Puerto" where have
remained ever since.
After going into the quarters the duty
| OF Provost Guard fell upon us and the
consequences of remaining in the city
befell US. People may think that we
have "snap" but they are badly mis-
| taken when thew think thus az vigilance
in guard duty in this city is just as i'm.
portant as on the lines.
AS have said before that have had
no opportunity to 90 20 the lines / will
not try to tell you anything about them
| for do not know anything about them.
Hoping that this will rectify the false
rumor as to my being wounded and that
| il will inform them that am in the best
of health, l remain with the best Of
respect for all of my friends in Kentucky.
| Very Respectfully,
EMMETT B BATES.
Battery "F" 9th Artillery. Musician.

WEBSTER.

Be careful about your dates.
A happy New Year to every one.
The weather this Christmas is just a
little severe.
J.P. Stewart, OF Louisville, visited
here last week.
Joe Robertson, of Collin county, Tex
as. is here on visit.
L. W. Moredock and family visited at
Concordia during Christmas week.
Miss Lucy Burr, Of Daviess county,
visited Mrs. Kurtz during the holidays.
Mr.. Ford and family, Of Jefferonville,
Ind visited julius Dutschke during the
holidays.
Fred Norman and family visited
friends and relatives at Hsrdinsburg
last week,
Gordon McGayock, of Cloverport,
spent last week with his brother, John
McGavock.
Mrs. L. II. Addison and daughter,
Mamie, visited in Louisville during the
holidays, returning Sunday.
Henry Dugan will move to Oklahoma,
shortly. We regret very much to part
with such good people as Mr.. Dugan and
his estimable wife.
Miss Addie Lyddan, Of o wensboro, and
Mr. Watson, of Hardin county, cousins
Of our genial friend, Tom Lyddan, were
his guests during the holidays.
Miss Mamie Lyddan came home from
school to enjoy Christmas in its fullness,
but she has been i'll Of measles ever
since her arrival. A host of friends wish
her aspeedy recovery.
1t is appalling to note the number Of
bachelors in this community, and old
ones too. Since break is TO be made
in the ranks shortly, II is TO be hoped
many others will follow.
1t was announced at the church last
Sunday, that Charlie Claycomb and Miss
Emma Kurtz, two Of our most popular
young people, will be married in the
church here, Jan. 18th, at 1880 p. m.
Bro. Nell held two very interesting
services here last Sunday. His discours-
es were appropriate to the occasion, and
we trust that many good resolutions
were formed at these services that will
be carried into effect during the year.
We desire to take off our hat and
make our best bow to the Brandenburg
correspondent for the nice things said OF
us last week. We certainly know of no
other source from which we would ap-
preciate compliment more than from
Brandenburg.
A proposition is being considered to
open public road direct from here to
Aaron Norton's and on to intersect the
Clifton Mills and Union Star road, near
Walnut Grove church, and discontinue
the road leading from old Webster TO
Lodiburg. This change will meet the
general appreciation Of large section of
country.
Much levty is made OF the New
Years resolutions, but we like to hear
Of people forming good resolutions at
this time. If they keep them it is well,
| IL they break them 1t is still better than
| to have made no good resolutions at all.
| It lie the individual who never makes a
good resolution Of whom we have no
hope.

THE LAST WEEK OF THE YEAR

RIG. DUN 4 Co.'S weekly review OF
trade says: mo correct report OF fail
ures in 1899 can be made until the year
has closed. The failures thus far re-
ported are fewer in number than in any
year since 1888 and smaller in amount
Of commercial liabilities than in any
year since 1881. General business is
thorc ughly safe and prosperous, and no
important firms have failed save some
which we're individually connected with
concerns involved in speculation. Wheat
and cotton speculation has taken holt
day, prices scarcely varying, and the
movement OF both is surprisingly small.
The industries are closing the most ex-
trsordinary year of their history. Long
established branches have increased their
capacity, new industries have enlisted
vast capital, and the improved condi-
tions for the future are almost beyond
calculation. Electrical DEVELOPMENTS in
light, heat and power, in making catar-
acts work wonders in the production OF
materials and providing transportation
all over the land deserve especial atten-
ton. The increase in demand for iron
and steel products is the great feature OF
the year. The average of prices closes
49, per cent higher than January for
pig and 1928 per cent higher for prod
ucts. Failures for the week have been
22l in the United States, against 252 last
year, and % in Canada, against % last

Football Yesterday.

Freeland and Hazleton football teams
played yesterday afternoon at the Tigers
park. The score at the end was 90 to 5
in favor of the visitors. The game itself
was much more interesting than might
be judged from the score. 1t was IA
warm contest from start to finish, but at
no time was there chance for the Free
land boys to win. They lacked team
work, not having practiced together
sufficiently, and to this alone is due their
defeat. Individually they did well, but
their opponents did well collectively and
consequently made points when the OPP
portunitieS came.
Hugh Ferry, of the Hazleton team,
and Lavelle and McMenamin, of
Freeland, were injured during the
game. The formers leg was badly
hurt, Lavelles nose was fractured and
McMenamin's knee was injured.

Against Her AffIiction,
Died Last Evening.

At her home in Eckley at Gas o'clock
last evening, Mrs. Ann Harvey, wife of

stitution, she was unable to overcome.
During the early part of November,
while walking about her yard one morn
ing, Mrs. Harvey stepped upon a board

remained and suffered untold pain until
