are raised from 65c per acre to
orc per acre, Morton county is

lied at $40; in Morton and other
slope counties at $50; in the val
ley counties at $40; and in the
other counties at 1877. Two-year

SIG through the state; cattle two
years old were equalized at SIG;
cattle one year old at $40 and all

FRIEND AYERS: Your favor received

there has been quite a change in affairs
here. The northern part of Luzon is
calm and serene now and one is per-
fectly safe to go anywhere, but in South
ern Luzon there is still trouble going on.
regiment was relieved from duty
with the department Of Northern Luzon
today and ordered to Bahamas in the de-
partment of Southern Luzon. There
was also an order to use all available
time in target practice and skirmish
drill, so it looks as if they expected to
have a little fun withthe natives.
lhave been away from my company
for some time on special duty but ex-
pect to be relieved in a day or two; if not
/ will ask to be. l am acting as list
sergeant of the casual detachment or
company at Vigan. would much
rather be with my regiment. Acting lst
sergeant is an empty honor any way. OF
course l have the rank, and, as the Irish
man says, the authority" but only draw
the pay of my corporal rank.
We are having plenty of rain here at
present. My company now has ll6 men
and out of that number 81 are sick in the
hospitai-the largest percentage we have
ever had. | have never had a day in the
hospital as yet, although ! was i'll in

excessive heat.
If we should get into anything down

YEAR CLUBS

Are becoming numerous. The idea is to
promote longevity. 1t is interesting to
note, that the means through which long
life istob be obtained, isfood andthe stom-
ach. Long life and good health are not
possible unless the stomachdoes its work
properly. There is a way to make it, if it
does not. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is
an ideal strength ~restorer. If you would
be curedof dyspepsia, indigestion, belch-
ching, constipation, insomnia, nervous
ness, biliousness, try the Bitters. Every
body should try it to help nature rid the
blood Of all impurities. 1t possesses valu.
able curative properties, and as aspecifc
for malaria, fever and ague, it is un-
equalled. Don't fail to give it a trial,
but be sure you get the genuine.

All Washington rejoices over there

the thickest cream for his oat meal.
1t is only the matter of few dollars
with the member whose term expires
next March but there is due from the
member elect two years salary besides
what he can bring in from the farm
and thus he has influence. Next to
real dollars Washington people prize
influence above everything else. As a
rule influence is the measure Of friend
