stately building? Did you ever
realize that your victory was but a
disastrous defeat, perhaps death, of
the sons of many W. @. L. q.
members? Did you, every one of you,
know the exact working of an army

You as united body had no more
reason to interfere with the army

than a mule-driyer of southern

PHILIPPINE LETTER.
Geo. Houstons Caustc Comments on the
Work of the w. IT, U.

Sara, P. l., Feb. %, 'O1.
Wood County REPORTER and
friends:-Since my last letter many
circumstances have altered conditions
on this beautiful Isle de Panay. War
fare is about over and all in all joyous
peace will be the master very soon.
The last DEFENDERS campaign
against the insurrectos was radically
changed from The preceding campaigns
and it proved success. These people
cannot be Subdued by kindness and
when the boys ShOuldered the 'KragS''
a few months ago, their orders were
much different than ever before.
Burn everything, kill all that
breathes. except child and woman.''
1t is needless to go into minute
details but when the fighting was
over the Provinces of Antique and
1loilo were completely devaSted-and
conquered. 1t was vertically a second
''Sherman'S march to the sea-" A
few days afterward General Martin
Dilgardo, the principal officer of the
inSurgent army surrendered in Iloilo.
Thousands of natives came in and
took the oath of allegiance. A crowd
of 1876 came to this town and all were
made good American subjects, | hope.
Over 5000 have taken the oath of
allegiance the past two weeks and if
this merry progress keeps up the boys
in Khaki will be out of a job. 1t is
the beginning of the end and all look
forward with joy when we can bid
farewell to the Philippines and its
dusky people. Another circumstance
far more momentouS TO us soldiers of
the q. S. army, and one that will
make the future existence OF a soldier
most miserable indeed, even if peace
does reign instead of grim war, is the
adjustment of the y. S. Army Elk
change or canteen las it is commonly
called) by the combined efforts of the
WOmen'S Christian Temperance
Union and other societies.
Our canteen closed yesterday and
with it stopped the mess funds of all
the companies and band -the legal
shares to each organization from the
net proceeds of the canteen. Very
soon we must come down from what
was good living to what is known by
soldiers as Government Straight. "
This IS food issued by the government
and unless delicacies, extras, pur-
chased by the fund are served with
such, the fare is hardly palatable.
With the victory of the mighty
w. &. 7. Z. the hard worked soldiers
see their extra side dishes vanishing
into the good old past. No more
cakes, nor pies, nor sweet stuffS for We
sunburned, fever-racked soldiers of
war. Macaroni and cheese, tapioca
and cornstarch buildings, batter cakes
with syrup are now but watery
thoughts suddenly blighted by the
kind influence Of the W. G. T. Z. Ye
shall have no more of those golden
canned peaches, pears, apricots or
plums such as our auartermaSter
sergent used to buy for US. Asparagus,
canned corn, string beans and spinach
were not intended for soldiers.

the soldier gains in such transactions
in comparison to prices of other
stores, etc. Five per cent of the net
proceeds is laid aside for the band
fund. This money buys new music.
music stands, extra instruments and
in fact everything necessary for
conducting military band The
remainder of the proceeds is equally
divided according to the strength
among the different organizations,
the band also sharing in this. This is
called the company funds and is used
only for purchasing extra eatables
from the post commissary. Thus in
the adjustment of the canteen, also
ended the company funds.
Readers can you cOnScienciously
blame the soldiers for condemnng the
action of the w. G. T. y. and other
societies instrumental in the abolish
ment of the y. s. army exchange?

tried to keep liquor from soldiers in

An omciou. countrrmnn.

Former Governor Peter Turney of
Tennessee had a peculiar experience
with Gen. Stonewall Jackson, says the
Memphis Commercial-Appeal. 1t was
in Virginia, of course. Col. Turney had
never seen the general, but about mid
night received orders to prepare three
days rations and be ready to move at
moments notice. Two hours later
came an order to proceed in a certain
direction, and that at a certain point
on the road he would find a guide. At
the point a citizen rode up, and, mere
ly indicating the direction, rode along
with the colonel in silence. Before day
they came upon plain-looking man
wearing small cap and mounted upon
a little pony. He fell in with the head
of the column and along they rode, still
in silence. Colonel, had you not bet
ter halt your men for breakfast"
Il will before long" was the reply.
The silence was only broken half an
hour later by a similar suggestion and
similar reply. Finally the newcomer
stopped glancing around at the sky
and landscape and said: Colonel, halt
your men for breakfast"
Colonel Turney, thinking that this
was plain countryman, who felt over
sorry for the men, did so. When the
march was resumed the stranger re-
marked that the regiment was stray
CLING good deal and when Colonel
Turney gave a command for the head
of the column to "short-step'' the
stranger said: mo, that will throw
your men all out. 1t should be Slow
STEP. This was a command to which
the Tennesseeans were not accustomed,
and, putting private on his pony, the
stranger took the head of the column
on foot and showed the men how TO
march.
When this was going on Colonel Tur-
ney asked his adjutant who the stran-
ger was, and when the reply came
"Stonewall Jackson" you could have
bought the colonel for a nickle
He was on foot, the very head man,
in such close proximity to the enemy
that the battle was on in half an hour,
and yet teaching the soldiers how to
march"

UNJLST TO MIR. RRYAN.

In the last issue of The Commoner
Mr.. Bryan takes notice of a statement
that has been going the rounds of the
newspapers which take delight in say
ing unkind things about him, now that
1t seems that his day as the leader of
his party is pretty nearly, If not quite,
over. The statement in question is that
in 1892 he supported the Weaver cleo
toral ticket, and in the election of the
three following years, including the i'm
portant congressional election of 1894
he repudiated the sound money plank
of the National Democratic platform of
1892.
Mr.. Bryan points out, and very Justly
too. that the Democratic National
Mr.. Cleveland, advised Democrats of
several Western states to vote for Pop
ulist electors in order to take those
states out of the Republican column, It
being impossible to elect the Demo-
cratic ticket. In this way Kansas,
taken from the Republicans, and the
Republican majority in Nebraska (Mr.
Bryan's state) reduced to about 1000"
In his comment Mr.. Bryan says that
a man ought not to be called irregular
when he follows the instructions of his
committee. He is right. II he sup
ported the Weaver electoral ticket at
the request of the Democratic National
Committee, and did other things at its
request to assist the party, it is certain
ly unjust to criticise and condemn him
for doing these things.
AS a matter of fact there is too great
a tendency on the part of some
leading Democrats and a number of
Democratic newspapers to attack Mr..
Bryan, now that his popularity appears
to be on the wane. OF course he adheres
to the doctrines which We're set forth
in the last Democratic national plat
form. and IL is probable that he will
adhere to them until another national
convention of the Democratic party
national convention decides to aban-
don some of the issues set forth in the
Kansas City platform it is safe TO say
that Mr.. Bryan will be found with
his party. 1t is true the Democratic
party seems to be drifting away from
some of the declarations in its last
national platform. but no Democrat can
be condemned for adhering to that
platform as long as 1t is the last Of
fetal expression of the party. Mr..
Bryan has a right to feel that he is not
being Justly treated by some of his
fellow Democrats.

A Turkish Divorce.

An American woman, says the Chica-
go Tribune, was a witness of the fol-
lowing scene the other day in a tram
car on the public high road in Constan-
tinople. A Turkish husband, wife and
children happened to travel by the
same vehicle, but, of course, in a diff
ferent compartment, separated by the
traditional curtain. At one of the stop
pages the husband saw a lady get in,
and, moved, by curiosity, he peeped
through shink in the curtain. The
lady fitted her veil. One glance was
enough for him, and, although strictly
prohibited, and against all the rules.
he tore away the curtain, stormed into
he women's compartment, confronted
Can l believe my eyes? You are not
dead?" The young woman, equally ag-
itated, would fain have thrown herself
on his neck and exclaimed Allah is
great! 1t is thus!" The man cried to
the fellow passengers: This is the wo-
man, who, by foul intrigue, was i'm
posed on me. / now divorce her. Hade!
Get thee gone"
The poor, trembling wife naturally
tainted away. The car had to stop, wa
ter was procured, and when she came
round several sympathizers began to
plead for her for the sake of his two
little boys. The passengers also loudly
murmured against his conduct in the
presence of a foreign witness.
'Shame!" they said. "A Christian is
present" This only seemed to incense
him the more. Go back" he said;
take your boys, your jewels, your
money; in fact, take what you wish,
but when I come home tonight I de-
sire to find the house rid of your pres
ence."
No further legal forms for divorce
being required among Turks, the poor
wife was compelled to obey, and sor-
rowfully wendell her way home.
