Salina, Nov S.-The Union says:
The following letter has been received
by Mrs. E v Stewart, 800 South Tenth
street from her son, E. Y. Stewart, jr.,
who is a member of the signal corps in
the Philippines:
Manila, P. /, Sept. %. 1902.
Dear Folks at Home:
81 will arrive at Guinayagan tomorrow,
after fourteen days travelling. How is
that for getting a hundred miles? We
had two stops and this Filipino crew take
their time, we staid five days in each
place.
lit is all Filipinos. I am the only Amer
lean aboard. 1t is not so pleasant as it
might be- but as I have the only gun in
the crowd 1 am not much scared. 1 feel
like Jesse James with these big Colts re-
volvers strapped on me all the time and
under my pillow at night
q eat with the captain of the boat and
the first and second mates, and they have
treated me fine all the time. We have the
meals served to us in courses and SER
want to wait on Generally we have
about three courses, rice being the prin-
cipal part Of each. Sunday for dinner we
had CLANS and rice, chicken and rice, fish
and rice, rice pudding and bananas, tea
and cigars Rice is not bad when you
have learned to eat it. I would like to be
back and get one American square.
There has been one American in each
place we have stopped, SO I went ashore
and staid till they got ready to go. One
was school teacher, the other lumber
Spectator. He said he had lost over two
thousand dollars in the last year-paid
dear for his experience.
There is no more danger here than over
there. So if you don't get a letter every
week or month even, just stop and re-
member I was fourteen days trying to
get one hundred miles. It is not like the
states, more like them when they sent
the mail by oxen on a load of wheat.
u was out in the woods cocoanut hunt
ing this morning; found plenty and ba-
nanas. too. The water of cocoanuts is
fine when they are young, much better
than when they are ripe. Bananas are
fine here when you can pick them off the
trees as you would apples. There are
some oranges and lemons but they are
small.
Il saw some fish the other day that
were ten or twelve feet long. You car
buy enough fish for ten cents to make q
good meal for dozen people.
Now don't worry about me. Just re
member that if a letter gets to Manila on,
day late for the boats to the states it ha.
to lie there half a month before it goes
on. Your loving son,
&c. Y. STEWART

this is positively his last appearance,

King has ever been regarded as one

donned the orange and black of Prince

made a team that caused great worry
and trouble to superior elevens by the
persistent work and ability to nail the
man with the ball behind the line and
before he got start to advance it. At
quarterback he showed his greatest
ability, for he was cool, clear-headed
and speedy and possessed of great
strength He ran his team well, quick

leader always In the thickest of the
fight. When King first entered Prince

NEWS FROM LEAvENwoRTH.
Election for New High School Build
ing on Tuesday.

Leavenworth, Nov. S.-Whether or not
Leavenworth will have a new high
school building will be decided next
Tuesday. In compliance with a petit
ton from the school board, Mayor Ryan
has issued a proclamation for a special
election Tuesday to vote upon a proDo-
sition to issue 100000 in bonds If this
carries, d new building will be erected
at a cost of about $4,000 and the re-
mainder will be used to purchase land
and furniture. The bonds will run 80
years and bear 4 per cen. interest. The
election will be held in the same rooms
in the precincts where the voting took
place last Tuesday. In most cases there
will be the same judges and clerks.
The members OF the school board and
the teachers are all anxious to have the
bond proposition carry. Leavenworth is
much in need of a new high school
building. The lease Will soon expire on
the old church building on Walnut
street where the high school is at pres
ent, and the building has been examined
and pronounced unsafe. If the bonds
carry it is probable that ground will be
purchased in the same neighborhood
for new building There will be no
special effort made to get out votes.
Women who registered last spring may
vote on the proposition.

 Caldwell Talk Last Night.

 Caldwell Talk Last Night.
 Over 300 people gathered at the cor her of Bank and Grand streets last evening to hear the doctrines of the socialist party as expounded by How ard H. Caldwell of Philadelphia, who is stumping this state under the aus pices of the socialist state committee.
 He spoke upon the prosperity we are supposed to be enjoying, but went into detail to show that it merely meant that the people who owned the country were prosperous, not the wage worker. He stated that while Dun's and Bradstreet's reports showed thac the workingmans cost of living had in- creased 40 per cent in the last year, yet the workers wages had only in creased about per cent over the coun- try, so we were just 39 per gent worse off this year than last He said that as the worker had been divorced lit tie by little from the ownership i'll the tools he must uset to get living. he was receiving less and less of his la bor's product back in wages. He went on to show that on an average all over the country the wage worker received 15 per cent for producing an article of what he had to pay at retail for it. He said that trusts were the result of overproduc- tion, as the capitalists were compelled to unite to limit the goods to the de- mand, that when the market was stocked the cost of selling the stock on hand rose above the selling price; that centralization would go on until q lit tie handful of men owned the United States.
 The socialist party advocates the so- cialization of all means of production and distribution, or, in other words, public ownership by the whole peo- pie. That as long as the present com- mercial system lasts the worker could never get the full value of his labor. Further, that the interests of the work ing class and the employing class were always opposed to one another; that it was the interest of the capitalist to get labor as cheap as possible and sch labor's products as dear as possible.
 MT Caldwell will again visit Wafc~- bury in the early part of August and invites any representative of the old parties to take the platform with him and show what their party has done or can do for the working class. He is making tour of 40 of the cities and towns of this state and is meeting with large crowds at every lecture
