Frank B. Davis Brother In the Philip.
pines.

Frank Davis received letter few
days ago from his brother, Harvey r.
Davis, written from Atimoman, Philip
pine Islands, where he is serving with
! the Both U. S. V. He attended school
here few years ago and will no doubt
be remembered by many of his school
mates.
In his letter he tells of their pleasant
voyage across the Pacific and their
stop at Honolulu. They landed in
Manila October 21st and in three
days afterwards they relieved the Saith
on Gen. Otis firing line. There they
were bothered but very little with the
rebels except at night. Later they
took trip of 400 miles across noun
tains, plains, swamps and rivers to the
south. Speaking of the heat he says,
THE heat of the sun was almost in
describsble. 1 have seen big, stout
men fall as though they were shot on
account of the intense heat. l have
marched different times when it was so
hot that the sweat would run down in
my eyes and almost blind me, my head
would ache and the load on my back
would feel like 1000 pounds and water
would not seem to quench my thirst
and my tongue would feel like an old
piece of dry shoe leather. am not
complaining, but just telling you" He
says in all their campaign SO far their
company has lost only three men, one
was shot, one drowned and one died of
sickness.
He tells of an attack they made on
the insurgents as follows:
March 23d and oath we thought we
would fool the niggers, so the Captain
took twenty men and sent them up in
the mountains close to the town to lie
all day and watch for the niggers and
if any were seen, to send q man back
to report and then he would take
co pany out and ambush them, but
we did not see any so on the evening of
the oath Major Hardigan came into
town with companies L and M, with
orders to take o part of companies /
and X with l. and M and 60 up into
the mountains and hunt for niggers.
The next morning we started out
with three days rations and we
marched all day and camped for the
night in a large cocoa-nut grove.
About day light the next morning we
started out and about noon we met the
Major with companies l. and M. You
see when we left Atimoman one-half
went one way and one-half went the
other way and we met in cocoa-nut

grove and we camped for the rest of the
day and night. During the day we
killed one niger, shot him through the
brain, and captured two. That night
Captain Newberry, of company l., took
one of the prisoners out in the woods
and asked him where the niggers were
and he said know sabe," which
means don't know" The Captain
knew better so he took his big revolver
and held it over the nigger's heart and
told him if he did not tell he would
kill him and think the niger would
have been gone man if he had not
told, so he gave it away and said the
niggers were about four miles from
there and that they had regular bar
ricks, that there were $50 men, 100
with guns and fifty with bolos, so at
twelve o'clock Captain Newberry with
twenty-five men went with the prisoner
one way and Major Hardigan with a
good niger guide and twenty-five men
went the other way and we met in the
rear OF the town and formed in q
skirmish line in half moon shape and
waited for day light.
We were then within about fifty
yards of the sleeping niggers with the
niger outpost thinking all was well.
just as it began to get light one of the
Diggers saw us and took shot at us.
Then the fight began. We fired three
volleys into them and then fred at will.
The niggers stayed with us about
twenty minutes and then we charged
than and khatn he nAasy
side. We captured thirty-three, five
new revolvers, rs bolos, 1000 rounds
of ammunition, a large quantity OF rice
and other provisions, twenty privates,
and five officers of high rank. Officers
rank as follows: lieutenant, lieutenant
captain, major and adiutant general Of
the whole Philippine army. We also
captured some money, do not know
how much but quite an amount as il
was to be used for paying the insur-
gent troops. Only one of our men was
wounded in the fight. He was shot in
the hip but will soon get over it. The
niggers' loss as near as could be found
out was fourteen killed and thirteen
wounded. Quite number were killed
and wounded in the brush that were
never found. I think they will now
begin to come into the town but am
not sure as they are pretty stubborn in
these parts.

Frank Roberts died May 18th 1900,
near Denver, Colorado, of consump-
ton. He was born June LIST, 1879, in
Newton township, Carroll county, this
state and was therefore at the time of
his death, aged 20 years, II month and
ID days. His early boyhood was spent
in Carroll county in his native town
ship. Later on he went with his parents
to Nebraska where they lived for some
time when they again returned to Car
roll county locating in Eden township
From there they came to Cameron
township where they have resided for
several years past.
The deceased had not been in very
good health for several months and last
spring, as his health began to fail more
rapidly than usual, he went west about
the middle of March, first stopping in
northern Nebraska. After staying
there few weeks he went on to Den
yer, where his death occurred. He
scarcely lost consciousness at all hav-
ing been up walking around only
short time before his death. It came
SO suddenly that none of his relatives in
this county were aware of the change
for the worse until telegram was re-
ceived announcing his death. Going
away two months ago expecting to re-
turn to home and friends with health
restored, he was returned corpse. He
united with the Methodist church when
a boy of only nine years of age and
had been consistent member ever
since having always taken an active
part in the Sunday school and church
work.
Funeral services were at the Klock
school house, inCarroll county, by Rev.
Lucas, of the Methodist church, of
Dedham, assisted by Rev. Bertch of
Gray. The text was taken from the
seventeenth Psalm and the last verse,
II shall be satisfied, when 1 awake,
with thy likeness" After the funeral
services the remains were taken to the
Abby cemetery and laid to rest.

Some simple Remedies.

In one of the United States health
reports published in Washington few
simple remedies for emergency uses
are suggested. Witch hazel is one and
is recommended as one of the quickest
soothers and restorers of a tired brain.
Battle the eyes and forehead freely with
the liquid and apply a cloth wet with
1t at the back of the neck.
Cloths wet in a strong solution of
borax water are very cool and healing
in case of burn: care should be taken,
however. to exclude the air in putting
them on.
A tiny pinch of powdered borax
placed on the tongue and allowed to
dissolve slowly will almost instantly
stop hacking, irritating cough that
may be disturbing one at night. The
same treatment relieves an ulcer in
the throat, and at the slightest irri-
tation or soreness of the throat gar
gle of salt water and borax will be
found efficient

Lord Roberts Reports an All-Day Fight
With the Beers.
LONDON, Aug. 28.-The following dis.
patch was sent by Lord Roberts:
Belfast, Aug. 81. Engaged the
enemy the greater part of the day over
perimetre of nearly 80 miles. Little
toms division and two brigades of cav
ally, all under Butler, operated south
west of Dalmanutha. French, with
two brigades of cavalry. moved north
west of Belfast, driving the enemy to
Lekenvly, on the Belfast-Lyndenbnr
road. AS soon as French reached LEX
envly, Pole-C arew advanced from Bel
fast in support.
1.-THE enemy in considerable strength
opposed Buffers and Pole. Carew's adj
vance. He brought three tLong Toms"
and many other guns and pom poms
(quick-fring guns) into action. The
firing, until dark, was hot and persist
emit. Butler hopes his casualties will
not exceed 40. Pole-Carew has not yet
reported. The Beers are making de-
termined stand. They have large
number of guns. The country is diff
cult and well suitable to their attack
and less accessible to cavalry than we
have hitherto worked over"

Learning a Language.

How is ii that Englishmen are not
the best linguists in Europe? Simply
and solely because of the general and
absurd deaf and dumb" method Of
studying foreign languages. Foreign
ers learning English know better than
to waste years over books; they simply
t'chatter" and learn one word and ex-
preston after another, and become
familiar with them by constant repeti-
ton, with the result that in a few
months they can speak and write our
language sufficiently well for all prac-
tical purposes. London Mail.

Russia was not in favor of dismember-

GENERAL CHAFFEE SILENT.

No Reply to the Requests for Information
Regarding the situation.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.-The war de.
partment has not yet received from
General Chaffee the report requested
from him few days ago on conditions
in Pekin. In fact recent cablegrams
of inquiry to General Chaffee have not
been answered. 1t is supposed that the
uncertainty of communication between
Pekin and Tien Tsin is responsible for
General Chaffee's silence. The wires
have been cut between the capital and
Tien Tsin and it is probable that the
messages were sent by courier from Pc.
kin. 1t is regarded as very unfortunate
that there should be such difficulty of
communication at this time.
The department is depending in
large manner on General Chaffee for
information to guide the administra-
ton in the movements of the imme.
diate future. It is not believed at the
war department. that the two casualty
lists, one dated at Tien Tsin the 21st
and the other the 23d,
Were Sent by General ChaffeeF
in person. 1t is thought that his name
was signed as matter of form. More
than week ago two dispatches were
received from General Chaffee, but
they are in such shape that they can.
not be deciphered at the department.
They are regarded as very important
from the fact that they relate 10 condi-
tions in Pekln, the number of persons
under the protection of the allied forces,
and the supplies for the army, as well
as for these people. While it is known
that they relate to these subjects, the
fact that they cannot be deciphered
prevents the department from deter
mining just what General Chaffee
means. Orders have been sent to him
to repeat the message. The war de-
partment has also taken up the matter
OF cable communication and has asked
the cable companies to see if the Chat.
fee messages can be Strengthened out
and to also ascertain if the messages
sent to General Chaffee can reach him
and if they cannot be delivered, why.

American Consuls in China Are So In

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.-The state
department is taking steps to have all
of the American consuls in China re-
turn to their several posts as soon as all
danger from anti-foreign outbreaks is
passed. The attention of the depart
ment has been called to a statement
emanated from the various consuls that
they left their various posts at the
direction of the department.. The de-
partment states this is not correct,
they were merely permitted by their
department to leave their posts on their
own responsibility if they considered
their lives were in danger. Now that
the danger is passing the department is
getting ready to have them go back to
their posts and take up their routine
work.
