BELLE MEADE ITEMS.

As our last batch seemed to do for filling,
and we were able to recognize ourseif without
formal introduction, we will try it again.
The Belle Meade Sunday school was or
ganized Sunday with B. E. Crane Supt. and
Mrs. w. H. Seibenthaler Assistant There
was good attendance and everyone seemed
determined to make it success. School
meets at 10 o'clock each Sunday.
Several of our young folks attended the
dance at Fowler last Friday evening. A
good time is reported.
Ed Blair and family were visiting at Chas.
Altenbernd's Sunday.
Miss Greene finished a successful six
months school in this district Monday.
Monday was the last day of Miss Green
school at Belle Meade and quite number of
the patrons and friends gathered in to enjoy
the exercises given by teacher and pupils.
We believe that this has been one of the most
successful terms taught here. About the time
that the exercises were over Mr.. Ed Miles
accompanied by Mr.. Geo, Fowler and Miss
Lizzie Krisle came by and with Miss Green
they proceeded to Meade where Mr.. Miles
and Miss Green were united in marriage.
We, along with their many friends
here extend congratulations to this most esti-
mable couple.
Johnnie Randolph had nearly new bride
stolen off his horse at the dance Friday night.
Mrs. S. A. Crane who has been visiting
with her brother Mr.. Zortman for the past
week returned home Monday.
One by one the old heroes are passing
away. Little did we think when we penned
those sad lines last week that ere another
week had around we would be called upon to
record yet sadder event-the death of
''Schley" full brother to dewey"
Perhaps thou didst emit broad grin.
When thou spied the bucket with coyote
poison in.
Ever true to thy name, thou did lick it.
Alas-ere long thou didst kick it.
Harry Williams was visiting the Randolph
boys Saturday night and Sunday.
We suppose mistakes are unavoidable but
HLCH IL SOniCS " d PCiSOu Us
East Slider it taxes our supply of charity con-
siderably.
We are predicting the resurrection of some
of the correspondents this week.
Poisoning neighbors dog, whether acct
IDENTIFY or otherwise, is bad thing and apt
to cause bad feelings, but for one neighbor
to poison another's dog to get even, is far
worse, and rather putting oneself on a level
with the dog.
Now would be a good time for some of our
fellow scribblers to poke fun at US about our
'dog-on" poor poetry. We can't help it if
they do, its the best we've got.
We hope Crackerjack won't feel called
upon to write any more s'odes'' like the one
to Fowler girl. Not that there is anything
wrong with the ode but it reminds us of those
good times long ago when every fellow had
sweetheart, with whom it oft grieved US sore
to part, and every girl could afford beau.
If our list is little short this week it is
probably due to the fact that we have con-
tracted very obstinate case of spring fever.
Yours as of yore,
Two-F'R.

ARrEs1AN ITEMS.


Mr.. EDIToR-f you think there will be
any space in the paper this week after giving
room for the s'fowls'' of the ssheir" you may
count us in for few brief items provided our
pencil word is not sidetracked again by some
unreliable messenger as it was last week.
A brand new boy made his appearance at
Mr.. Mars last week. Frank is jubilant over
the prospect for weed destruction and says he
is going to encourage the boy in early rising.
March died hard and strange to say passed
off just before all FOOLS day.
G. o. Wick has struck an iron mine in his
well on the fiat and is now trying to trade his
alfalfa farm for smelter.
John Russell has given up his job with the
Green boys and will do business for himself.
True to 'sin-stinct'' our feathered friend
across the creek is still after the finny tribe
and in lieu of the fresh article must (pelican
like) cough up something stale from his
pouch.
Alf Siegle moved his cattle to the ranch on
Five-Mile Monday. They wintered nicely
and are fine lot of cattle. We hope to see
ALI and his cattle back again with us next
winter.
Judge Davis is getting his crew and imple-
ments ready for big job of crop planting.
Ralph Herr, who has been working at Mr..
Sourbeer's for several months is looking for
the sign Man Wanted.
The Latta boys have entered into a big
sod contract with G. o. Wick.
The stage curtains at Prairie Gem school
house have been in use about months but
they have rolled upon many varied and ex-
citing scenes, one week they hide the dia-
loguer and next they serve as a storm door
for prairie'dog-tod they are in the hands
of the McGees and tomorrow the Shannons
may take possession. The rapid following of
one drama after another on that stormy stage
is enough to carry one back to the chivalric
days of Sir Bryan Guilbert.
Miss Amelia Eliason will soon go to Ash
land to accept position.
John Jobling was dehorning cattle the fore
part of the week at Mr.. Ticks.
We watch with interest the Ernest contest
May the best man win.
Frank Bennett and wife were visiting in
the Artesion district Friday.
One of our neighbors of ''long standing
says he would rather sit down to dinner with a
family of coons than certain other one OF
our friends but perhaps 1 should not have
mentioned the fact for the other man may re-
tort 'mere matter of custom.
Since the last issue of the News two of oul
best citizens, R. L. Sawyer and B. F. Cox

are good many wheels in Fowler Just the
same, indeed if a young man wishes to be
considered in the swim at all here, he must
provide himself at once with one of the afore
said articles. They are nice, we suppose, but
should judge very inconvenient to young
man with the usual spring emotions unless
provided with double seat.
Spring work or the epizootic must be max
ing inroads on the correspondents, judging
from the falling off in contributions last week.
Maybe they are saving up for this week.
We are glad to know that Fowler, next to
Meade, is the heaviest subscriber to the News
in the county. People of this vicinity appre-
ciate the earnest effort on the part of the ed
itor to give us all the news all the time.
Several of our sportive inclined attended
Sunday school over lin East Sider's district

Rev. Jones preached very interesting SER

college where he has been the past winter.
John is loud in his praise of the Wesleyn
school and will return next winter to finish
his course.
Potato planting and garden making are all
the go now. From the acreage put out we
no doubt will have potatoes ''to throw at the
birds" and garden sass" to feed the cows.
The hen continues to do do business in a
most surprising way, with the result that our
merchants are kept busy all their spare time
packing their product for shipment. The
''tarnal creaturs' will persist in all laying and
no setting. We are, at present. very long on
hen fruit.
Oscar Lawrence was transacting business in
our city last week.
Albert Edwards and wife were in town a
couple of days last week.
Mr.. Van Ripper, of Wilburn, was freighting

The Preston Plaindealer advertises
that it is the only paper in its county
that does not carry patent medicine
locals. There are other papers that
do not and do not advertise it. The
News, for instance, does not, and
will not, especially at the prices
they pay. They want half col
umn of locals for about so cents
per month. We don't think these
great lawyers, judges and other
prominent men-some preachers,
we have noticed-are in any way
elevating themselves by having their
names and photographs connected
with patent medicine advertisement
stating what wonderful CD benefit
they have received from Paine's
celery compound, Peruna, or
Chamberlain's cough and diarrhoea
remedy, etc., or how their life
has been saved by the same.
We Can devote our space to some
thing more valuable.

There was a surprise party given at the
home of Rev. and Mrs. Eschbach March 29.
Those present report pleasant time.
George and Claus Berger Jr. took posses
sion of their fathers ranch and are now busy

started his team and drove over the stack
and upset the load and then he had job
loading it again.
Henry Eckhof has new well. He got
water at s. feet.
Peach and apricot trees are in full bloom

From the Philippines.
Victoria, Negros Island, P. 1.

Ian. 81, 1900.
Luther and Robt. Davis,
| Dear Brothers, will try and an
swer your kind and welcome letter
which 1 received some time ago.
We are on Negros Island, THAT is,
3 companies of the 44th, and two
are on Panay Island, We can see the
island from here. Our company is
split all to pieces, part of it is on
Manaplo about 8 milesnorth of here,
part of it here and part about 8
miles below here. l like the islands
all right so far. 1t rains here con-
siderably at present and the rainy
season hasn't set in yet. 1t took us
80 days to go from San Francisco
to Manila. We stopped 6 days in
Honolulu, that is where 1 got your
letter. 1t is as fine a place as you
would care to see. 1 was in the
hospital 10 days on the way from
Honolulu to Manila, I was not sick
just had a sore leg. got out be-
fore we got to Manila. We were in
the bay about 48 hours. did not
get to see the city only from the
ship. We could see where Dewey
had been and the wrecks of six or
seven vessels that he had sent to the
bottom in the big fight. We are
about 800 miles from Manila now.
have been having a good time
since We got here. Sometimes we
march day and night after the mig
gers. We haven't had any fights
yet although we have captured some
pretty bad niggers. They keep out
of our way as much as possible.
Their principal weapon is the bolo,
long knife which they can use like
the devil in close quarters. They
have about one gun to every five
men and it is generally an old shot
gun or rifle. There are some pretty
good sized men here although the
average is about five feet. The
women average about four and a
half. Mexican money is the money
mostly used in the islands, one
American dollar is worth two Mexi-
can dollars. There are about 20 of
us guarding a hacienda out here at
present. A hacienda is a plantation
with sugar mill and all sorts OF
stuff. The beast of burden is the
caribou or water buffalo. Every
thing here is afraid of the soldiers.
the caribou, the dogs, and even the
chickens will run from US, but we
get a few of them just the same.
We have not been paid since we left
Frisco. Well you must write as
soon as you get this for it will be a
long time before I hear from you.
1 am as we'll as 1 ever was in the
States. Well 1 will close for this
time, hoping to hear from you soon.
