Dear Mother, Father and Brothers:
Your letter of November 10th, on
hand today and I have little time
this afternoon so will answer it.
Since l became Sergeant l have
more work to do in regard to solveing
problems of war and not so much
manual labor. l also have charge of
three squads, where as Corporal /
had only one.
problem of a good way to make an
attack on Mexico and four other Ser
geants besides myself crossed the Rio
Grande. We did not have a gun or
anything with US but we took chances.
| was on guard the other night at
the Boundry line where the white
monuments are and we had an excit-
ing time. There is a Mexican hut
about hundred yards from the line
and thought to be kind of meet
ing place for them and from infor-
nation received they have machine
gun there. Well / was stationed
there with nine privates to watch the
place. During the night General Bell
received information that we were
going to be attacked so he sent rein
forcements. l got Corporal and
nine more men and Corporal
and twelve men supported me on the
right flank about two hundred yards
away, and also twelve men on my left
flank. The Captain with more rein
forcements was a half mile to the
rear. Well we got ready for them
and they were supposed to attack at
three o'clock but they must have
found out that we had been reinforced
for the attack never came.
The picture of Benona was real
good and l was glad to get it. |
suppose he is having fine time hunt
ing around there while / am down
here and only wish l could be with
him and Trix for a days hunt.
1t was quite cold down here and last
night it froze about one inch thick
and didn't thaw out today. have
worn my sweater and gloves all day
and my hands are cold now while
wnting this letter, and they call this
a tropical climate. The FL Paso
people say that November and Decem-
Der are the coolest months in the
year and l readily agree with them.
Well mother, it will be some time
before l shall ever be Lieutenant al
though each day l shall strive to
make myself qualified for the job. and
some day I may be one. 1t takes
three years or more before youcan be
Lieutenant, but I'll stick until get
it, and then up to Captain and so on
up.
Well l hope you all keep we'll up
there this winter and l will do the
same. Will send Studebaker when
it comes.

POLITICAL PLUM TREE
REALLY SEEMS BARREN
Old-Time Observers Think There is
a Hard Winter Ahead of PrOmis-
cuOuS Job Seekers.

Politicians who visited Annapolis
this week and who have got their
ears to the ground are bidding sad
farewells to the good old days when
Jobs adlibitum were handed out to
them and their constituents. They
are alive to the fact that the old
order of extravagant things has
passed and the new order OF things
economical has come.
A hard jolt is in store for them II
the recommendations of the Good
now Commission for a reduction in
legislative expenses are adopted,
and to their adoption the Democratic
party is pledged. The report contain
ing these recommendation has been
handed to Governor-elect Harrington,
who in turn will submit it to Senate
and House Of Delegates next week.
It may even be placed in the hands
of the House Committee on Organl-
cation, which will meet at the Hotel
Rennert on Tuesday to parcel out the
Jobs. The committee will be warned
to go slow in preparing a list OF en-
ployes.
The commission in it's report goes
into detail and shows how it is pos
sible to prune the legislative bill to
the extent of $4,000 during each
session. This recommendation is bas-
ed upon the extravagant bill OF two
years ago. It was then far in excess
Of 100000. The commission believes
that the bill can be cut to $14O,OOO
for each session.
The saving, according to the re-
port, can be effected through a dis
continuance of the practice of ap-
pointing additional engrossing clerks
at the end of each session; reduc-
ton in the number Of doorkeepers,
messengers and cloak room keepers.
It is not proposed to hamper the
President of the Senate and the Spea-
ker of the House by parsimony in
their respective forces. The force
employed in cleaning the State House
can be greatly reduced, according to
the report.
The Goodnow Commission was in
session yesterday. It is now engaged
In collecting and arranging Informal
ton on the proposed abolition of use
less Offices and the consolidation OF
others.
O.E. Weller, chairman of the State
Roads Commission, members of the
State Industrial Accident Commits
sion and their counsel, J. Walter
Lord. and J. Frank White, head of
the State Bureau of Labor and Sta
tistics, appeared before the commits
sion and gave information and sug-
gestions regarding their respective
departments.
The commission has in hand vol
luminous documents, bearing on the
subjects handled by them. They
have not acted upon the reports sub
mitted by Mr.. Chas, the expert ac-
countant, Attorney General Richie,
and others. These reports, which
have been published from time to
time, represent the work and views
pf those who prepared them for the
&ee Of the commission. They have
not been incorporated in the recon-
mendations Of the commission.

Chestertown, Md, Jan. Tt is
reliably reported here today that the
dupont Powder Company, of Will

chase of a large tract of land along
the Chester River front, in Queen
Anne's county, close to Chestertown,
for the purpose of establishing an

ing for some weeks. The first rumor
connected the farm known as the

Skipper, president of the State Live

the company is negotiating for the
purchase of 1000 acres between Ro-
sin and Double Creeks.
Coupled with the transaction is the
purchase of uniform mills at Milling
ton, Md, the water from whose dam
will be used to supply power for an
electric road from the plant to Mil
lington. The people of Chestertown
and Wilmington are very much inter-
ested in the pending negotiations, as

mean a big boom to both towns.

Rotten Work in MINNEAPOLIS.

Joseph W. Bragdon, the rich Min
neapolis wholesale grocery man who
is accused of debauching several girls
of tender years in that city, was ac-
quilted by a jury a couple of weeks
ago as far as one of the girls was
concerned. All Of last week, in SINH
lar accusation in which another young
girl figured, he was on trial, and the
case went to the jury Saturday after
noon. The jury was out At hours and
failed to agree-there were II for
conviction and one for acquittal on
three final ballots. It is understood
that the foreman, Albert F. Bastyr,
was the stubborn juror. It is openly
charged that the jury, and Bastyr in
particular, was tempered with. Bastyr
is charged with contempt of court and
the evidence against him is pretty
convincing.
