SOLDERING IN THE PHILIPPINES.
Extract of Letter From Edgerton's Soldier

MANILA, p. l.. Dec. 10Th, 1900.
suppose rather surprised my friends
by enlisting, but | had not the faintest
idea when left home that July morning,
Ave months ago, | would be in mid
ocean, dressed in blue uniform, enroute
for the Philippines. / am not at all
sorry [ enlisted have good health and
fine time, have seen more of the world
than ever expected to. Yesterday |
saw something that comparatively few
people have chance to see, volcano
in eruption. Don't think ever saw a
grander sight. We passed within three
miles of it at 10 o'clock in the morning
and gradually pulled awaw until two
o'clock it was out of sight. The days
out here are very hot, but the finest even
ings and cool nights that you ever
thought Of. Just imagine yourself in
the middle of the Pacific Ocean, the
water as smooth as mill-pond, a cool
wind blowing from the east, then the
moon sticks her head out from behind
cloud and the effect is-well [ told you
to imagine. We made a four days stop
at Honolulu, there are a great many
white people in the Island, have
churches and schools. [ attended the
Central Union church and every one
came up and nearly shook the arms off
us and asked US to stay over Thanksgiv
ing, but we left the day before. We are
now five days out from Manila, there
are all kinds of rumors as to where we
are going after we get there. Hope we
will go on the firing line SO we won't
have to drill all the time. Dinner time
SO I will ring off for the prevent.
MANILA Posi- OFFICE, Dec. Goth.
We are at the end of our journey, will
land in the morning, the mail boat leaves
this afternoon and this letter must go.
Will write when look over the Islands,
if Philippine don't get in his work.

The interesting Tennessee comedy "a
Romance of Coon Hollow" drew large
audiences to the Biiou yesterday and the
performances went off capitally, the
many strong climaxes creating great en-
thusiasm. Besides pretty scenery and a
company of more than average merit,
there was revealed plantation scene of
singing and dancing, which won favor.

THE MAYORS CIRCULAR
Suspends the Marshal and Asks the Citizens
to Sustain Him in Enforcing the
Ordinances

A circular issued by Mayor Mansfield,
during the week, has been the topic for
good deal of discussion In it the mayor
complains there are violations of the or
dinances of the city and because the
marshal has been unable to make arrests
of the violators and for other reasons
assigned, he has suspended that officer.
In the main, the circular is justifca-
ton of his action and an appeal to the
public to support him in insisting upon
the observance of the saloon ordinances.
On the proposition of enforcing the sa-
loon ordinances of the city every good
citizen will be with the mayor, though
some may differ with him about the
manner of getting at it. And we imagine
there may also be difference of opin-
ion as to whether it was necessary to
advertise our sins to the public by cir
culars, without having first brought the
matter before the common council and
giving this body, chosen to govern the
city, an opportunity to rectify the errors
complained of. ORDINARILY the common
council grapples with these questions
without appealing to the public at
large and mayors given all the support
necessary.
Charges have been filed against Mar
shall Rae and until they are heard before
the council The Reporter does not care
to discuss them. In the meantime the
mayor has sent out of town and en-
gagged marshal to assume the duties
Just what will result from the trial of
course we cannot foretell, and yet we fear
unnecessary fricture may ensue that will
not be conducive to the harmony of our
town.
Dist Atty. Jackson was in town Mon
day looking into a complaint lodged
with him that there was gambling going
on in this city, contrary to the peace and
dignity of the state. A reporter was
brought with him and testimony taken
from a number of witnesses suspected of
knowing something about violators of
the law. Mr.. Jackson evidently un-
earthed something worth while for since
his departure several parties have gone
into court and plead guilty to charge
made by Mayor Mansfield, and Justice
Smith has raked in over 500 in fines.
The mayor says gambling has got to stop
and on this proposition we are with him.

ATTENTION TOBACCO RAIsERs.

Your attention is called to the new
Zwicker Spanish tobacco seed. It will
raise the largest and most perfectly
styled tobacco that we have ever intro
duced. It will be sold by subscription
only, and as the supply is limited, orders
will positively be filed only from these
letters. Should the demand exceed the
supply it will be divided proportinately.
A special effort has been made to pro-
duce this seed. It ripens early, is fault
less in quality and as before mentioned
will raise large and better grade of to-
bacco in every particular. The sub
scription list will be closed March 18th,
1900. These lists are at Perry & Doty's
and F. e. Ash's.

property. Although undecided as to the
future the present hotel management

THE STARK CASE.

The evidence in the Stark murder
case is accommodating, and the authors

they have made. Yesterday afternoon
they succeeded in finding the other re-
yolYer that was hidden by Ira o.: Jen-

figures in the ase It was found at

trips to the house before they finally
located the weapon, but when they did
they We're fully repaid for their persist
ence in the case. The statements in the
young man IS to wnere he had hidden
the gun were numerous. until finally
he stated that he had hidden it in the
ceiling Of the house where he had taken
off a board. States Attorney Allen

We're three cartridges. Two had been
fired. The cartridges carried the
Peters bullet, a peculiarly corrugated
ball, which is the same as that found
