Letter from Dakota.

Surrey, North Dakota, July 21.-I
This is my first letter to the Index
but / will inform your
readers that we are yet alive. We
have very fine growing weather here
this summer. Everything looks fine
and If we do not have hail storm we
will have big crop Of grain. Wheat
looks we'll. 1t is all headed ont and
the oats are beginning to head and
are very good. IL will seem strange to
some people TO hear that our grain is
just heading when they have finished
such work, but we had a very late
spring and did not SOW any before the
first of May. Corn looks fiue, what
little there is planted; potatoes are
looking well and there are hundreds Of
acres planted in Ward county. Old
ones are worth 10 cents per bushel and
new ONES $500. We have plenty of
new potatoes and lots of garden truck.
The hay crop will be good. The farm
ers are Just beginning to make hay.
blast. We had very heavy rain last
Sunday and we have heard that there
was q very heavy hail storm north east
of us about twenty miles. One man
told me that hail fell measuring eight
inches around. There was some hail
here, but it did no damage.
The German Baptist Brethren had
their district meeting at Surrey the
29th and 30th of June with large at
tendance. The first morning they had
three hundred for breakfast aud five
hundred and ten for dinner, and they
succeeded in feeding them in one hour
and ten minutes. They had fine din
ing hall and everything in order. II
did not look at that meeting like this
was a new country, but the oldest set
tier in the neighborhood has only beer
here four years. Tine Brethren have 4
series of meetings this week. The,
will have their love feast next Satur
day. The people may think this is nj
time for protrscted meetings. put thi
is the time for us as the latter part o
June and the first part of July is on
slack time; not much to do and peopl
can attend meetings.

WOOD FILES REPORT
POWER OF MoRos IS COMPLETELY
 BROKEN.
Armed Uprising of Scattered Bands Demands Attention of Troops, However, in Lanao Country.
 Other Tribes Peaceful.

Washington, Dec. 20.--General Wood.
 commanding the Department of Min
 danao, Philippine division, in his ap-
 nual report to the War Department.
 says the troops of the department have been in the field a great portion Of the year quelIing armed uprisings and pre- venting slave trade and kindred abuses.
 He says that In almost every instance actual fighting was initiated by the Moros.
 "Conditions among the Moros throughout the department are gener- ally peaceful" the General said. "The establishment of civil govern ment and the extension over them of certain laws and regulations has caused some excitement and at times serious resistance. especially the law prohibiting slavery. In some sections active hostility has been engendered bv our presence. especially in the Lake Lanao region. where constant muroer- ous attacks on workinsmen anu so' diers were the rule. until the effects or the recent expeditions let the Taraca side of the lake combined with expedi- tjons to other sections of the Lanao were felt by the Moros.
 The power of the Moros of that sec tion, he says, has been completely broken.
 Continuing, the report says: Tn JoIo affairs are quiet. The prompt crushing of Hassan's uprising has made
 a deep impression on the people and the abrogation of the fates agreements
 has done much to bring to an end the
 unfortunate conditions which existed
 until it."
 Dato Alrs party, the report adds, Is
 tho only band of Moros now openly
 hostile. and 1t is small and Is being
 followed by troops and scouts. Gen
 eral wood believes there will not he any serious resistance of authority by
 the Moros in the future. but there will
 he constant work of a police character
 requiring the use of troops and con- stabulary.
 The report shows that trials by gem eral courtsmartial have diminished Tor enlisted men and Increased TOT ohcers'

|CONVICTS | ON THE ROADS New Use For Prisoners Of
 County. BOARD OF REVENUE ACTS Only a Portion of Wards to
 Be Leased. Prison Wagons and Guards to be Em- pIoyed with Montgomery Ceun- ty Bridge and Road Gangs
 In Futur&

The Board of Revenue of Montgom- cry County at special meeting held yesterday morning at II o'clock decided to institute the system with the be- ginning of next year of working a DOT tion of the county convtcts on the public roads and bridges of the county.
 The special meeting was held for the purpose of discussing this innovation and other proposed Improvements on the roads and bridges of the county. The meeting of the Board was attended by the five members and they were in session from II o'clock until after 1 o'clock.
 During the past year all of the con- victs of Montgomery County were leas- ed to the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Company of Birmingham. For all convicts. good. bad and indifferent. the county has received S9.50 month. It Is believed that by working the con- victs on the roads the county will prac- tice economy and at the same time be saved from frequent annoyance by reason of inability to secure laborers to serve with the various road and bridge gangs employed.
 The Board of Revenue has been ad- vertisinE for bids for the lease of coun- ty convicts and these bids will be re- ceived and opened at the regular meet ing of the Board next Monday.
 The successful bidder will be award ed the lease of the convicts sentenced up to this time. the county reserving the right to use limited number of them.
 The order for working convicts on the county roads was not formally made yesterday by the Board. It was decided upon. however, and confirma- tion will be made at the regular meet ing next Monday.
 The Roard also discussed its future policy as to repairing and grading roads; the building of permanent abutments for bridges of concrete: the selection of county officials. such as attorney, supervisor of roads and other matters which will be acted upon finally at the session next Monday.
 After the meeting President M. B. !Ioughton announced that the Board had concluded to work some of the eonvicts on county roads.
 We expect to go about the new system gradually and in an experi- m ental way" said MT. Houghton. "The system cannot be inauEurated until after the spring term of the criminal court. We expect to begin with force of at least fifteen convicts. If the experiment Is successful the time victs will be at work on the roads and bridges and public works. The use of convicts on the public works will save the county considerable money. Be- sides this our road overseers complain constantly that they are unable to secure laborers for the road work.
 The plan of working convicts on the roads comprehends the employment of guards and sleeping wagons The wagons are much more convenient than tents and they are safer and cleanlier.
 The conclusions reached by the Board today will be confirmed next Monday. We will award the lease of convicts up to this time to the highest bidder, reserving the right to use as many of them as we see fit on the roads of the county"

SHOWS HIS GRATITUDE Father Sends Check For Saving His Daughter. W. H. COLLINS GETS IT Montgomery Man Saved
 Daughters Life Last
 Summer. Grstified Father sends the Metngom- cry Man s1,ooo for His Act of
 Saving the Young

A we'll known young man of Mont gomery. Mr. William H. Collins. has received a nice reward in the way of a check for sI,o0o. from a happy fath- CT in Philadelphia. whose daughter Mir. Collins saved from drowning in the surf at Atlantic City. N. J.. last September.
 The check on New York Exchange was enclosed in a letter expressing deep appreciation for MT. Collii.s's heroic act and asking that the check be accepted in the spirit 1t was sent friendship and gratitude.
 The gentleman who sent it," said MT. Collins, lis a wealthy business man | of Philadelphia whose name l with hold at his request and has all the money he needs. lean use $1,00O, | very nicely and have written to him thanking him for his present and ac- cepting it in the right spirit" The story of the rescue from drown ing of the young girl. MT. Collins tells with becoming modesty and refers to the matter as an everday occurrence | which any man would do If the occa- sion presented itself
 | T was in Atlantic City last Sep tember on a few weeks vacation trip and was having an enjoyable time at the big seashore resort.
 One day as was walking up and down the beach in my bathing suit, just after getting out of the water l heard a girls voice cry out and turn ing round to the ocean. I saw a young lady struggling in the water some lit- tie distance from shore. As l looked, she went under the surface and l started for her as fast as I could got to her side and swan back to the beach with her. Water was flowing from her mouth and she was uncon- | scious.
 | "A man who was standing near and who helped me with my burden as quickly as he could reach me took hold of the helpless girl and together we began an effort to recusitate her. We rolled her over and over on the sand and worked her arms in trying to get all the water out of her lungs After a while that seemed like a month, she revived and was able to go to her dressing room in the bath house
 With her permission I accompan lied her to her hotel. Haddon Hall on the Boardwalk, where she introduced me to her mother and told her l had saved her life, They were both very grateful for what'I had done and asked me to call. after thanking me until I felt foolish. That closed the incident though I did call and found the young lady charming compan. ion"
 Mir. Collins was for a number of years connected with the Kennedy Company. but for the past several months he has been travelling as the tat 1f
 featuring company. He is a man of strong personality and has a number of friends in Montgomery and else- where who will be delighted to hear of his good fortune which comes al- most as a Christmas gift
