FROM HARRY SERGENT.

He Tells of a Soldier's Life In the Philippines—Some Hard Fighting.

The parents of Harry Sergent have received the following letter from him: "Imus, P. I., Ojt. 16, 1899.—My dear Father, Mother, and Sister:—As I have a few leisure moments I shall answer father's and sister's letters, which were received a day or so ego, and I was so glad to hear from you. "Just one week ago yesterday we had a fight and, say, it was one. It lasted about forty-five minutes. This was the heaviest fire I was ever under. The gugas were in an old church and, say, they m»de a good stand. We had to make a charge on them under a heavy fire. They had us flanked for a little while. Company E afid company were in our rear, and our company and company were up on the line. The two companies in the rear were given orders to swing to the right of us and form a line. As soon as &is was done we were all right. Then we made the gugas hunt their happy hunting grounds. Oar company was the first one in the church, and this made us feel good. Directly in front of the church, facing the east, was an open place about three hundred yards from U6 at the end of the bamboo, and we could see the gugas passing with their guns, and what we did to them was a plenty. We picked them off as fast as they came by. Bert Mitchell and one of the other boys shot an officer off his horse, We went up there again in a few days, but there wa^no shooting. As we came back we looked in all the shacks and got about eightyfive men and sent them to town,where they are in prison. The 14th came down another road and met us and they caught one hundred and twentyfive men. "Father, this iB the only way we can make any headway at present. If the government had one of the small islands here and would put all the prisoners on it they would do all rights When we make a haul like this we hardly ever get any gunB. When they Bee they can't do any thing they drop their guns in the rice fields and play the amigo. That is they are good friends to the Americans. I would ju6t as leave shoot one of these gugas as I would kill a dog. They would slip up on one of us and kill UB if they could get a chance. Do you think this kind of people ought to be pitied? "We have been on the go ever since the 29th of laBt month. On the 29 th of September they waited until we were all at dinner and then opened fire on UB and tried to get into the town, but they did not make it. They tried again and made a failure of it. Along about October 7th or 8th we went out at night to look for them and found them soon after we were out. We ran into one of their outposts and they opened up and fired, but did not get any of us, There was one time when company E was on the point and they ran into them face to face. 1 am not stuck on going out tt night. We only get in one night and sometimes two, and when we go out, like we did at St. Nicholas church (the place where we had the fight),we start at half past three and four in the morning. "Tell 'Fat,' old boy, that I send my regards to him and wish I was there to take a good smoke with him. Give THE JOURNAL my regards and tell them that as soon as I get into Manila I shall write a letter to them. Harry Lucas and the rest of the boys send their best regards. I am well at this writing and hope to feel like I do now all the time. I shall close for thiB time, hoping to hear from you Boon. "I am ever your loving and absent son and brother,

HABBY B. SERGENT."

OFF FOR MANILA.

The News of the Time Ifor Departure Received With Great Joy.

To the Editor The Journal.' PRESIDIO, Oal., Nov. 17, 1899 —I feel that I ought to write you the good news (to UB) we received this evening. If there are any ordei the colonel wishes to make known to the regimen^ he usually has them read right after retreat, so this evening we received the following order: "This regiment will board the transport, Monday, Nov. 20, to sail to the Philippines." That order filled ua so full of joy we could not yell loud enough to satisfy ourselves, so we got our mesB pans, and the noise we made for a quarter of an hour waB a plenty.. Most all the boya are wanting to go to town now and haven't enough money to pay street car fare. If I only had the deposits of one of the Crawfordsville banks with me no doubt would make so much money that I would forget that I belonged to Uncle Sam.

We have been having lots of rain here in the last week. Sunday was a beautiful day, but we had to go to the range, and didn't get back until 1:15. We have been having sham battles and extended order drills moBt of the time since we have been here.

The 1st Tennessee regiment arrived here last Saturday or Sunday and-a corporal of Company F- was overjon Wednesday evening and gave us some advice, and also told us some of hie hardships. In Ills talk he said: "Boys, I do not want to say anything to discourage you. It will be a fine trip for you and you will see and learn lots. Among other things you will learn will be never to join the army again." What he said did not discourage me. I am mere anxious this evening to go to the Philippines than I ever was. 1 was over to see our boys in the 38th Tuesday evening. The Orawfordsville boys, so far as I know, are all well and glad they joined the army.

Address our mail to this place and it will be forwarded to us. With love to all, I am, Very respectfully,

GUY Mc MAINS,

Co. G, 44th Infantry.

GOV. MOUNT'S BOOM STARTED.

His Friends Want Hlui on the National Ticket.

An associated press dispatch from Indianapolis says: "There is on foot by a number of leading Republicans of the state an organizad movement to, press Governor Mount as a candidate for Vice-President next year. They claim in his behalf that he is the logical candidate, is opposed to trusts, is a genuine farmer and his candidacy on the ticket will insure Indiana for the Republican column."

That 35th Problem on Page 221 Again. To the Editor of the Journal. Will you please publish the following solution to Bhow a mistake that I made in multiplying in a former solution, when I cleared the equation of fractions:

1 acre=6,272,640 square inches. X2= square inches in tract.

X=length of one side in inches. 4X=distance around in inches.

Silver dollar is li inches iq. diameter. Then 9i=the money. $80 is the price per acre. 6^=number of acres. (clearing we get) 80X2=16,727,040X

Dividing through by we have 80X=16,727,040

X=209,088 length of one side in inches. **=$557,568 cost* 557,568^-80=6,969.6 acres, ans.

This could be fiaished in other ways. The problem can be solved in at least six ways. ED E. VANSCOYOO,

Orawfordsville, Ind

Card lrrom the Mayor.

To the .Public:—It is desired that our citizens will promptly report to the police any tramps or vagrants who may apply to them for assistance. Smallpox is now prevailing in many of the stateB, and in Bome localities in this state. Tramps and vagrants are particularly liable to spread this disorder. It is therefore necessary to arrest all such and procure their vaccination in order that the public may be protected from this danger.

Chamberlain's Pain Balm Cares Others, Why Not Ton?

My r?ife has been using Chamberlain's Pain Balm, with good results, for a lame shoulder that has pained her continually for nine years. We have tried all kinds of medicines and doctors without receiving any benefit from any of them. One day we saw an advertisement of this medicine and thought of trying it, which we did with the best of satisfaction. She has used only one bottle and her shoulder is almost well.—ADOLPH L.

THE BIG

Dress Goods.

Have you seen the black silk'and'wool Cre/ pons this year? To judge by our counter full of them one might think they were the only fabric of the season, which they're not by any means, beautiful and rich as they are.

SI.50,12.00, $2.50 and higher.

You don't imagine, do you, that the finest of these are made by machinery? Most all are made at their own homes by men who have learned the fine art of weaving from their fathers, or have otherwise been trained to it, as to any other fine art. They know how to let the silk buckle (or blister, as they call it) out from the wool enough to get the effect they need, and yet not to let it go too far. Machines can't do that—not so well as hands. And yet. you can buy machine-made here and elsewhere. The almost infinite variety of these make them hard to describe, what with the metal/ asse designs, caniche (poodle dog), velvet and satin stripes and dots, and all the ingenious devices and designs of the Parisian designers, understood and carried out by the weavers of Picardie.

Mohair Crepons have the lustre of silk, but are not so smooth and soft. They are, however, more serviceable—silk crepons were never intended for rough use.

Mohair Crepons.$1.00, II.25, SI.50, SI.75, #2.00. Both kinds average 42 inches in width.

Sleeping Comforts.

Silks.

Colored Taffetas continue to be the most popular silk fabrics, notwithstanding they are not all of the best wearing qualities. The maker who makes our line seems to have solved the problem of twisting the yarn just enough to give the fabric the desired sheen and prized rustle without making it hard and liable to crack. Our stock was never more complete with desirable shades and colorings of this popular fabric than now.

85c per yard for dollar quality.

Linens.

The special offerings in linens made two weeks ago have proven trade attractors. We again call your attention to them and invite you to see them.
