The prospects of the United
States being compelled to go
down into South American
waters and shoot Germany full
of holes is getting brighter
every day. All President Roose-
welt has to do is to say the
word, and he will be the most
popular president ever in the
presidential chair. The Ameri-
can people feel that Germany
is treading on their toes and
doing it with malicious fore
thought.
England, Germany and Italy
have refused Minister Bowens
proposition for settlement Of
the Venezulan troubles, and re-
fused to raise the blockaded
forts of that country. If Pre-
sident Rooevelt would do as
President Cleveland did-noti-
fly the powers to raise the block
ade in 48 hours or the Ameri-
can man Of war would raise it
for them, the three countries
would come to an understand
ing very ss.quikly. A little kill
ing down in Venezuela would
be a good thing about now.

My home here is rather diff
ferent from the one in the hills.

rooms all to myself. 1t is COM
Portable and convenient and

from the first. From my win
dow | could toss a stone across
to my school room. That makes
it a noisy place just before
school in the afternoon for the
children assemble sometimes
more than two hours before
schooltime. But it is nice in
many ways, especially in the
wet season. At school | have a
northeast room by far the
most pleasant. The sun gets
in at my east and at a west
window but the hottest sun
does not reach us.
My yard contains a banana
orchard and generally there are
ripe bananas there mot mine,
of course. This matters not as
they cost but little, anyhow.
Not as pretty but quite as
characteristic of the Filipino
yard is the sharp-nosed pig
generally found there with
chickens, ducks and goats. Oc-
casionally a caralaa is seen
grazing with the rest of the ZOO.
Their habits are SO untidy that
these animals are a gain for
they act as scavengers.
Inside my casa" the chief
decorations are American flags,
my books, and a few native
curios. | am sure you would
smile at my housekeeping out

a e boxes, while my salt, pepper
and mustard set is a solid silver
curio | picked up in Manila and
my spoons range from silver to
the cheapest material found
here. | do not care to spend
money on things not easily
transferred, for one loses too
much. This is a lonely life but
one can save more than at
home, you have freedom and
leisure, and the people you do
meet are interesting. On the
whole, | am glad | came. | am
not very we'll and am not capable
of any great exertion, neither
am | sick. One must be care
full, very careful of self here.
i When that is done, it is not SO
bad. If | can get up energy
I'll send you some clippings
about this region from a letter
home, but this is an ideal elm
ate in which not to do things
| am going to send you a pair
]. of native shoes as a sort OF
atonement for my unexcusable
slowness. | wish you woulc
forget it and remember only
;; that this is not a good region
for a strenuous life.
Do please write me soon and
j / will try to be more prompt
The desire to do more than just
'scrawl anything to you was
really the cause of my unusua
slowness. This will reach yor
in the new year. May you anc
all of yours have all the seasons

Yesterday afternoon at two
o'clock, occurred the funeral Of
Eugene Scebold, the Ia year old
son Of Benjamin Scebold, living
about nine miles southwest of
this city. A very large con-
course of sympathising friends
and neighbors attended to show
a last tribute of respect to the
departed.
The boys death was peculiar
ly distressing. Only last Tues
day, he had been out on the ice,
enjoying days skating. In the
evening he complained of being
sick. The next day he was
worse, and grew steadily worse,
and the doctor pronounced it a
bad case of appendicitis. On
Friday, the young sufferer was
sinking fast, and an operation
was decided on as a last resort
to save his life. Drs. McGavren
and j. L. Tamisiea, assisted by
DR.. Donald McCrae, of Council
Bluffs, undertook the duty, but
the patient never seemed toral-
| ly from the ordeal; and Satur-
day morning at 9 o'clock he fell
asleep in death.
Eugene was the oldest in a
family of four children, and was
a boy of quiet, kindly nature,
and a favorite with everyone.
The family are old residents
of this section, widely known
and much respected. The pain
tulneSS, and sadness OF this be-
reavement, was a cruel stroke
on the parents, and a large cir
Gle of relatives, to all Of whom
the unfortunate lad was an es-
pecial fovorite. The funeral
service was held at the house,
conducted by Rev. John Will
Jams, of the Christian church,
of Missouri Valley. The brief
service was marked by scenes
eff extreme sorrow. The remains
were laid to rest in the st. John
Cemetery.
The Sunday School Glass to
which Eugene belonged, sang a
closing song, and the Methodist
Choir, of Loveland, rendered q
number of sweet, consoling
hymns. ~

The contract for the sale was verbal.

tract to purchase it on a condition
which could not be fulfilled. The
defendants are holding the money
due Keck in their hands pendingthe
decision as to whether or not the
sale was made.
