first time the city of Metz has been under
fire since the Franco-Prussian war in

Senator andRepresentative

to Las Animas to meet represen-
tatives from other counties to-
designate a candidate or candi-
dates for state senator from this
senatorial district, and later at

When we got there we learned
that the master genius OF wire
workers and of the republican
machine down in this senatorial
neck of the woods-senator Has
ty of Lamar, had taken on added
amount of gall with mixture OF
impudence, sufficient to offer a
proposition to those who have

them to put his smiling mug on
their ticket and thus to make it
unanimous and save the expense
of further efforts to officially de-
capitate him.
Also learned that the invincl-
BILE doctor had made certain hiar'

against the Jacksonian disciples
of Bent and Kiawa counties, ano
thus had them hypnotized to dc

A DUNIVAN LETTER
FROM "OVER THERE

Dear FOllss:-
Will drop you line, we are
cornered in houses and hotels
called billets. Some of our boys
pitched their tents in the back
yard il pretty grove. We have
a winning pool in our yard.
To day is the Frenchman's ath
of July. We put on a parade for
them this IL. m, /, and then went
to church in the woods. Our
band was on the job. Our chap
lain gave US nice talk.
Will tell you all about our trip
that ] can: We sailed from
u. S. A., June %, and arrived in
-, England, July 7th, then
by rail to a camp.
Sure was comical to see the
trains. Their engines are the
size of our 16 h. D. threshers,
and coaches had small rooms.
Each room held & men, and ther
we're 4 roon 8 to the coach.
The camp IN England was d
peach-laree trees and all kinds
of pretty senery.
We stayed one night. then
sailed for (place cut out).
Their cars and coaches were
small also. The capacity was
from 4 to 10 ton per car, the en-
giues are larger here than in
England.
The people are real nice, sure
treat US fine. The women work
like men. They are 100 years
behind the U. S. Saw few
binders in action, with a yoke of
OYER and one horse, with the
horse in the lead and a boy lead
ing it. Some, or the most of
them use the sythes and cradles;
they use a wagon with 2 wheels,
like cart. but very strong.
Some work a span of mules to a
cart and haul large loads.
There are very few cars, some
Tin Henrys. The bicycle is the
most common way to get around
We sure have been trying to
talk French. Each of us have
some kind of a dictionary and
talk to them in that way, but
Walt and 1 are learning fast, as
it is something like Spanish. l
have found several that could
speak Spanish.
We sure have a time with our
money. 1t is so much different
tnan in the U. S. A. Tomorrow
is pay day. We will be paid in
French money. Each man will
need porter to carry his money,
ha! ha! You can take an Ameri-
can d liar and get 1t changed into
French money, and every time
