Grandma seIbe at Rest

News arrived Tuesday of the sad
death of Mrs. Edna. W. Selbe at
the home of her daughters in Mound
township at five O'Clock Tuesday
morIing. Grandma, as she was called
by many, had been slightly bitten on
the hand by a dog about week ago.
and nothing was thought of this, as
the wound was a very small one, but
in day or so blood poison set in which
ended fatally on Tuesday morning.
She was in her seventy-eighth year.
The funeral was held at the home of
her daughters, seven miles south
west of this city at II O'Clock this
morning and the remains laid tender
ly away in the neighborhood cemetery
to await the Resurrection mourn.
The Herald extends sympathy TO the
bereaved relatives of Grandma SeIbe.

Putting In the New Turn Table.

A force of men was put to work on
Monday morning to put in place the
new turn table which has been here
for the past two months waiting the
development of the prospects of the
water supply. The company feels as
sured that the city will supply them
in water. Many expensive improve
ments will be made by the company
this spring and summer here by the
company. We presume that the Al
mena Plaindealer will be greatly
panied to hear this bit of news so we
extend our sympathy to Bro. Taylor
and congratulate ourselves in regard
to retaining the division at this place.

EsaPsseh.


Yesterday we stroiled over TO the
new Pioneer Roller Mills to see how
the work was progressing. We found
all hands at work doing their separate
parts In the construction of the build
ing. 1t is without any exception the
finest building OF its Kind in western
Kansas. There will be six sets OF roll
ers and one set for course feed making
seven sets in all. The new engine is
on the ground and preparations are
being made to set it in place. The
engine is a monstrouS large one, it be-
ing a 225-horSe power; the length Of
the boiler is l6 feet and feet in dia-
meter, the fy-wheeI is u feet in dia-
meter and the width of the wheel rim
is y inches. The boiler is warranted
to stand a pressure of 200 pounds to
the square INCH. The mill will cor
tain three car loads of machinery, no t
Including the engine. Every piece of
machinery and every piece of timber
has been carefully selected by Mr..
Chelf himself The Touring capacity
of the mill will be 25o barrels per day
100 barrels per day more than the old
mill
Mr.. Chelf, when asked about what
time the mill would be put in opera
tion, said everything would be in
readiness by June 1st, if he did not
have any misfortune. He and the
citl zens of this city deserve much
credit for the push and enterprise
they have shown in the rebuilding of
the Pioneer Roller Mills, and can
point to this mammoth building with
all the pride which they possess. The
mill be of much benefit to the city
and county and all people can aud
will point to it as the pride of Phil
liuS county.

ErtenGS:
So you may all think in the United
States, many miles from here, but if
you were here you would not think so,
for there is not day that you can go
out without having small battle. OF
course it does not amount to much
because there is nothing but small
bands of Bolo men and once in awhile
you can lind rife. But there is not
a trail in the Isle of Samar that has
not traps IN it. You may be marching
along a trail and all at once the guide
that you have with you VIII give a
yell, of course we know what to do, as
we have seen lots of them, some of
the traps may be six or eight feet
long with bamboo spears in them.
The Way they are fixed is, they take
one piece OF bamboo about two or
three inches around and slit it, then
place the spears in it and about four
inches apart and then they cover the
hole with split pieces of bamboo, grass
and brush SO aS TO hide the trap.
We were out on a little march the
other day and ran into a small gang
of Bolo men, about sixty or seventy /
should say, but they took to the hills
and we could not catch them, we cap
tured two rifles in an Old shack and
twenty-five boios. And while we
were out d messenger came up to US
and wanted US to go to the assistance
of Co. E. which was ambushed, and
lost six men killed and seven wounded
with the Captain who got very bad
bolo cut in the leg or side.
The small gang that they ran into
are called the dies-dies mea. They
wear little red cap and carry bolos
for weapons, They are a part Of the
gang that masSacred Company e.
and we are hot after them. 1t seems
as if every time they make q stand
that they get few Americans as
we get few Of them. And still they
say the war is over. But if they had
to hike to the hills and swampS after
them they would not think so.
You may go to bed tonight at nine
O'clock and before day break be called
to arms acd then your nights sleep is
spOl ed and they will start you out Oh
i've or ten days march, and still the
war is over. While climbing the
rocky hills and through the marshy
swampS and still the war is over, and
while in your shelter tents with your
corn beef and hard tack and you think
OF friends at home as the rain is coIa.
