PHILIPPINE CONDITIONS
WORSE THAN A YEAR AGO

Simaloin, 2. l Sept. %, 1900
We are now at Simaloin, south
east of Manila, two miles south
of Laguna de Bay and Santa
Cruz, where Gen. w. H. Law
ton was killed. We are at the foot
of the mountains. This is where the
18th snd 37th infantry had their bad
fight the 18th of September, losing
seven Privates and two first SER
geants, one second lieutenant and one
captain. We expect another fight in
"a day or two, as the native Filipinos
are surrounding and closing in on US.
Several mem bers of the 18th and 37th
were wounded. The 10Th came
here with Company L 12S strong two
weeks ago. They now have 80 left.
1 hope the ''niggers' do not kill Com
pany L of the Sth infantry so fast.
We have very poor sleeping quarters.
We are not allowed to drink anything
but boiled water. Every man in our
company has had his hair clipped
close to his head on account of the
heat. My brother Louis is doing the
hair cutting. He's been named the
company's barber.
Good water here is out of the ques-
ton. Our drinking water is taken
out of the muddy rivers and then
boiled.
We have about 40 native prisoners,
one of them lieutenant colonel. We
make them work pretty hard. There
are four companies of the 37th in
fantry within II miles of us; not over
80 men in company.
This part of the country is just as
bad, if not worse, than year and
a half ago. 1t took US II hours to
come up here from Manila by water.

The party arrived in Davenport over

There they took carriages and were
driven along the line, meeting their

went on to Chicago over the D., r. /.

The significance of the visit lies in
the fact that the party was returning

circles, and they at once took car
riages to drive over the line. or as
nearly over it as roads will permit, to
Clinton.
Mr.. Grout said he knew nothing yet
as to ultimate Intentions, but thought
the route was being gone over with a
view to decide upon resuming con-
struction at an early day. The party
had gone over the line between Peoria
and Wyoming Wednesday, and then
proceeded to Clinton. Mr.. Grout said
he would probably know more in q
few days as to the future of the enter
prise.
1t is generally understood that the
Peoria extension fell to the Alton
when the road was divided between
that line and the Illinois Central.
The Alton needs the extension to
reach the northwest. the St. Paul
country, and it is understood is likely
to complete it.
The hindrance seems to be the c.,
r /. q P, which wants to make a
traffic arrangement for handling the
Atoms st. Paul business, but has not
yet offered terms that are satisfac-
tory.
This revival of interest in the Clin-
ton extension may therefore mean
that the Alton is seeking to bluff the
c., r. 1. & P. into better terms, or
that the project is all off so far as the
c., r. 1. & Z. is concerned and the
Alton will build in order to carry its
own St. Paul freight.
Mr.. Grout is quite confident that
the present move means that the road
will be completed. 1t is a well known
fact that nothing but refusal has met
propositions of farmers to buy back
the right of way, which effort has
been made by number of them.

ALUMNI WIN GAME.
Purple and White Eclipses Red
and Old Gold by a Score
of IL to S.
STORY OF SATURDAYS STRUGGLE
Weight and Individual Dash Sue
cessfuIIy Matched Against
Team Play

Saturdays football game between
the alumni and high school elevens
was the most interesting played on
/ the local field this season, and it was
witnessed by the largest crowd. The
high school eleven had everything
but weight in their favor. and even
that wasnot as strongly against them as
in the games with Aledo and Geneseo.
They had changed their signals so
their opponents had no advantage
from that source, and they played a
clean, snappy game. The alumni
were soft and undiscipllned, and the
long halves, so and 25 minutes. were
against them. They fouled, fumbled,
and mixed their signals, but they
never lost their heads, and the strong
work of two or three members nearly
always made good their errors.
Their best gains were made around
the high schools left end, Hodgdon
getting away twice for long runs.
The high schools strong hold lay in
punting and well organized line plays.
The alumni kicked off and held for
downs Then they rushed the ball
back to the line, Hodgdon scoring a
touchdown in four minutes. He also
kicked q goal.
The high school kicked off and
soon got the ball on downs. They
were in turn held 20 yards from the
alumni's goal, but again recovered on
tumble, and Salzmann got through
the line for a sensational run and
touchdown. The goal kick failed.
The alumni kicked and their oppo-
nents taking advantage of the strong
wind of heaven, which was in their
favor, and the failing wind of the
alumni which was also in their favor,
resorted to punting. This made them
sufficient ground to be within a few
wards of a touchdown when the half
ended, score to 5, in favor of the
older team.
Roll Up More Scores.
In the last half the high school
kicked off, and after the ball had
changed hands several times in the
alumni's territory. Hodgdon got
away for a 45-yard run. Then after a
few swift plays he put it over the line
and kicked difficult goal.
The remainder of the game was
played on the alumni's ground, they
losing the ball several times on errors,
and being penalized twice for fouling.
In spite of this, however, they held
their own by strong plays, aud had
the pigskin in the middle of the
field when time was called. The final
score was IL to B.

The other night 1 dreamed l was

J reached the rink it was evident
something unusual was going on in

met my eyes. Booths and counters
were ranged on all sides. and for a
moment l thought l was in q baZar in

played ladies' suits, jackets, etc. At
another, hats of all descriptions, some
of them very pretty; at another,
dishes and bric-abrac; at others, toys,
pictures. books. groceries, mems
clothing, underwear, kitchen uten-
sils; at one side were heating stoves
and cook stoves, tubs, wash boilers,
ETC.; at another, two pianos and sew
eral organs; in fact, everything one
could think of was displayed at coun-
tiers presided over by large number
of our best ladies in town. There was
a great crowd of eager people around
each counter, making purchases at a
wonderfully low price, and mum bers
of people leaving with arms filed
with bundles and satisfied express
sion, showing that they had found
something they wanted. AS 1 stood
near the cashiers table l heard her
say, The response to our appeals for
goods for our sale has been so prompt
and so cheerful that we are having a
grand success l woke, and instead
of the first week of December, found
it was yet October. But will my
dream be realized when our rummape

Clay Clement has followed no'school
in his playwright nor in the manner
of his production. There are many
delightful points in The New Do
minion" that no one but MIR. Clement
would have thought out. The pretty
story about flower is pure gem,
and said to have been introduced into
the second readers of some of the
western states. The comedy episodes,
where he teaches the Virginia girl the
German alphabet, is an unaffected and
entertaining bit of real art. There is
a strong gentlemanly scene where the
baron rebukes an insolent southerner
that results in repeated curtain calls
for the star. The play is love cpl
sode with. just enough plot in it on
the part of the well sketched villain
to charm an audience. Mr.. Clements
first venture in play building, 1.-The

high place among dramatic writers.

which seems always in the future.
