Fort Scott Boy New in the Phil

Sends Clippings Relative to
Water Cure Sentiment.
BELIEVE In 1T THERE.
One Soldier Writes to a Manila
Paper Strongly.

cans Have Sympathy.
BELIEVE In TT THERE.

Fort Scott, June 10.-Charley Tite, the
Fort Scott boy whose parents have been
daily expecting his arrival at San
Francisco from the Philippine Islands,
where he has been serving in the army
for a couple of years, is still in Manila,
awaiting his return to native soil. Yes
Iefday his father received a letter from
him. containing a lot of clippings from
the Manila papers, including several
letters from American soldiers to the
papers there, giving their views on the
matters that are now being discussed
in American papers. One Of the clip
pings is a tabulated report Of the chol-
era deaths, and it shows that out of
1928 cases 40 of the patients died. In
teresting am ong the clippings is a. letter
from one of the soldiers on the water
cure. He says:
Editor Manila Times: While reading
an article in yours of the 10th inst
see where there was two sO-caIled ex-
soldiers when called before the house
of senate had what I call the galvanized
gall to testify that they had seen what
they call the water cure given to the
natives OF the Philippine Islands, by the
loyal and gallant American soldiers, who
are trying every day to the best of their
ability to civilize this heartless, entrust-
ed and heathonly nation, whom they are
now dealing With 1 wish to say that
it is hard to read such news as this af-
ter climbing up and down the noun
tainS and suffering what the American
OIucerS ana soldiers mas SufI6reQ IN the
Philippine Islands, since I have been
here.
have seen more than one good, faith
full American whose remains are now
lying in Philippine soil, cut and man
gled up by the bolos by the hands Of
these uncivilized heathons whom we are
dealing with today.
I wish to say also that hope a crowd
of gentlemen with good, sound 5udg-
ment, such as senate is supposed to be
composed of. will not be enfiuenced by
the evidence of two such ~cOl-footed
hospittle beats as those who testified as
to seeing the so-called water cure given
to the heathons of the Philippine Isles.
I suppose those two so-clled ex-Ameri-
can soldiers are like a great many other
COLLECTED tin soldiers-they came to the
Philippine isis to see the country and
not to fight It is a pity that we have
not got some of these tender-hearted
chickings where I am. or I would have
a fine 4th of July dinner.
God bless the gallant officers who are
up on trial for doing their duty to try
to bring about peace and civilization
with this heathonly nation of natives of
the Philippine isis.

TO DRILL FOR OIL.
oberlin Company Prepared to Bore
Over 1000 Feet

Oberlin,' June 1O.-The northwest Kan
sas consolidated oil and gas company
of Oberlin, will commence drilling for
oil at once. The officers re: President
s. J. Moorish; vice president, ex-Judge
A c. T. Geiger; secretary, Geo. w.
Keys; treasurer, D. c. Moser.
The derrick is located ten miles east
of Oberlin, near the town of Ramona,
in Decatur county. The engine and
boiler have been in readiness several
days, and the drills arrived Saturday,
and are being put in readiness for work
at once. The engine is 28-horse power,
and the boiler 3O-horse power, the entire
machinery being the best obtainable the
market affords, and is capable of drilling
a ten-inch hole at a depth of 1900 feet
if oil is not struck at an earlier depth.
Careful experts who have been ex-
amining this section of the state are of
the opinion oil exists here in Deca tur
county. and that before the drill reaches
g. depth Of 1900 feet they will find it.

ORDERED TO vAcATE.
Civilians Living at Leavenworth Post
IS Must Vacate.

Leavenworth, June 10.-An order from
the war department has been received
at the post demanding possession of the
houses occupied by civilians. The pres
ent occupants will be given until the
last of the month to vacate. It is not an
unexpected order, as those civilians liv-
ing at the post have understood that
they would have to leave, sooner or
later, ever since the project of a greater
Fort Ieavenworth was begun. The par
ties affected are all employed by the
government in the different depart
ments, and Uncle Sam has allowed them
to occupy such residences as he did not
need for his soldiers. 1t was always
with the understanding, however, that
they leave when the places were needed.
The reason for the order is that when
the Sixth infantry gets here there will
be a scarcity of quarters for the officers.
Even at the best it is feared some Of
them will have to double up In the fall
the cavalry and infantry school which
was closed during the war will be re-
opened. This will bring many more
officers here.

roads have, within the last ten days.
issued orders for new Pullman sleeping
cars with increased toilet facilities for
women These three roads are the
western and the st. Paul.
Women travelling In the west have
been complaining for years of the in
adequate special accommodations as
signed them in the Pullman cars. In
most Pullman sleepers run over west
ern lines the women's lavatory it is al
legged, has not been large enough to
accom- modate the women when they
comprised 25 per cent of the train pas
sengers.
The Northern Pacific company has
just put into service ten new Pullman
cars, which give three times the space
to women's dressing rooms that has
heretofore been accorded. Other western
roads have ordered cars Of a similar
character.
