Vast of the time for the past month. We made a fifty-mile march down to Danao and returned to Bogo on the gun­ boat Pampanga. We arrived at Bogo in the evening and spent the night on shore and the next morning went on board the gunboat again and started for the island of Bantayan. The Pampanga is one of tha gun boats that was cap- tared from the Spaniards and she is a beauty. The sailors and marines were a jolly set and we had a pleasant time but I was glad to get on dry land again for I do not like to be penned up on a boat of any kind very long at a time. Bantayan is a small island about forty miles from here. The people there are very friendly to the Americans and they never rebelled againet the Spaniards. We landed at the city of Bantayan which is a place Of twenty thousand in­ habitants. There were hundreds of people at the docks to see us as we landed and th4y had a band there which played a lively tune. We spent one day on shore and returned to the gunboat in the evening. I was all over the city and it is quite a nice place. The people there did everything they could to give us a pleasant time. We returned to Bogo the next day and the gunboat re­ turned to Cebu. I spent one day in Bogo and then ten of as were ordered to Bantayan again, but this time we went to a town called Santa Fe. A man who was once a lieutenant in the Spanish army and fwho lives in Santa Fe came over and reported that the insurgents on Cebu island had sent four, men over to Bantayan to demand a large sum of money from the people for the support of the insurrection and if the inoney was not paid promptly they threatened to burn the cities of Bantayan and Santa Fe and kill some of the leading men of the island. So we ten jolly soldiers were ordered over to nab the four rascals who the Spaniard said were stopping at Santa Fe waiting for the money to be paid. We marched across the island to San Remeigo and secured a sail boat there and waited until dark. It is twenty-five miles from San Remeigo to Santa Fe. We had six natives to run the boat for us and there was a fine breeze blowing so that we dropped anchor a't a few minutes after ten o'clock off Santa Fe. We waited for an hour and then landed and the Spaniard led the way up the street to a large house which he said was occupied by the insurgents. We surrounded the house, I was standing near the baok door when it opened suddenly and a man came out and started to ran. I or­ dered him to halt He kept on running and so I drew a bead on him bnt just as I was about to pull the trigger he stopped. I told him to stand there and that if he even so much as moved his little toe I would blow his head off. He had a big revolver under his clothes which we found later. I saw another fellow stick his head out of the door and I invited him to come outside and stand by * the side of his comrade. He hesi­ tated bnt when 1 threw my rifle to my shoulder he hesitated no longer bnt moved promptly to the front and took a stand by the side of the first one. We captured them all and remained at Saifte Fe for ten days and then returned to Bogo bringing the prisoners with us. They are hard at work now improving the streets of Bogo with a guard stand­ ing over them all of the time. February 17th.--I did not finish this letter the other day and so will finish up today. Twenty-oue men of our com­ pany had a hard fight with the insur­ gents down at Morayilla several days ago. We had one man killed and three wounded. The insurgents lost heavily but we do not know how many were killed for our men ran ont of ammuni­ tion and were forced to retreat leaving the enemy in possession of the field. The insurgents are getting Very active and troublesome of late. They killed eight men of Co. M, 44th Volunteer In­ fantry about ten days ago and captured seven rifles and a lot of ammunition. In the fight at Moravilla they used ex­ plosive bullets and seemed to have an unlimited supply of ammunition. We received word last night that there were a thousand insurgent® at Murat twenty miles south of here. We expect to have a bloody fight at any time. I received the box of eandy that yon sent all O. K. and it tasted very good too. You asked if I had to do my own washing. No I don't do it myself I get a little senorita to do it and she'does it up in proper style too. We wear dark blue flannel shirts and light khaki trousers, cam­ paign "hate, leggins and tan shoes. Soldiers never wear suspenders but wear a belt instead. We have khaki blouses to wear but do not use them much. , MILES L. COLBY. -f About Good Paint. Geo.

The new building erected for Second Church of Christ, Scientist, of Chicago, at the corner of Wright wood and Pine Grove avenues, will be dedicated today. The ground, building, organ, and furnishings have cost about $120,000, and the entire amount necessary to pay for this building and the one for Third Church of Christ Scientist on the West Side--a total of about $244),000~-has been raised during the past two years. The money has been contributed by over 4,000 persons. It is the custom of Christian Scientists to dedicate their churches free from debt, and these buildings will he no exception to that rule. The following la a description of tike building the Second church. The exterior is charcterised by a simplicity and breath of treatment at once impressive and dignified, and is imbued with the subtle charm and re­ finement of the most heatiful of Greek orders, the Ionic of the Erechtheion of the Acropolis, a temple which all writers agree was almost faultless in its art Ascending a broad flight of granite steps, the recessed portico or loggia is reached. This recess, while serving as a covered way, is really for the purpose of isolating the colonnade and pro­ viding for contrasting lights and shadows necessary acoompaniments to the hsrmony of classic architecture. At either end of the steps are beautiful bronze tripods sustaining the lamps. From this loggia five double doorways of mahogany open into the outer vesti­ bule, passing through which one enters an extensive foyer, or inner vestibule. An idea of the size of this feature may be bad when it is stated that almost the entire congregation can be comfortably accommodated in it. It is a well-lighted and cheerful place, and is provided with large fireplaces. The auditorium extends above this lower foyer, forming its ceiling, and is reached by five broad flights of steps or disposed as to empty j>r fill all parts of the auditorium quickly. Upon reaching the auditorium one finds himself stand­ ing under a noble arched ceiling, in the center of which is a stained-glass dome. This dome is thirty-five feet in diameter, and is richly paneled and Ornamented. The platform and readers' desk are placed in the center of the north side, and form the common focus point from which the aisles generally radiate, and the seats bank up. The organ loft is back of the platform and over the readers' tooms, and opens upon the main auditorium in the form of an ornamental, arched, open plaster scpen. The auditorium is decorated in ivory as a field with all plastic orna­ ments in gold. The most substantial construction has been employed, steel trusses being used to support the roof and ceiling, and they in turn are supported on steel columns. The size of the building is 100x116 feet, the auditorium being 84x112 feet The auditorium will seat 1,450 persona In the rear -portion of the building are located committee and toilet rooms, and a room for each of the readers. The four sides of the building, including, alley and rear, are faced with blue Bed­ ford stone. The foyer and vestibule are paved with marble mosaic and generally wainscoted with marble. There are about (1,000 square feet of mosaic floor­ ing. The windows are filled with hand­ some leaded stained glass. S. S. Beman is the architect The three manual organ was built by George S. Hutch- ings & Co. of Boston, builders of the organ in the new Symphony hall in Boston. Ground was broken for the foundation in August, 1899, and the corner stone was laid Nov. 20, 1899. The organization known as Second Church of Christ, Scientist, was formed in November, 1898, and in the tame month commenced to hold regular services in the synagogue of Jewish con­ gregation of the North Side, at La Salle avenue and Goethe street The growth in membership has been almost 200 per cent duriqg the time that the organiza­ tion has occupied the synagogue, and it is expected that the regular attend­ ance will tax the capacity of the new building from the very outset The officers of the church elected at its organization in 1898, and re-elected from year to year, are: Trustees, W. Tresse Smith, E. J. Adams, Samuel Mandeville, S. L. Myers, J. J. Husser; directors, Mrs. Ida Schnaffer, Mrs. LucyC. Piatt, Mrs. Hannah A. Mac- Kay, Mrs. Laura T. Cotes, Mrs. Ada Smith. The first reader is Bicknell Young, who has held that position continuously since the organization of the church. Previous to the organization of Second church all of the Christian Scientists of Chicago attended First church, on Drexel boulevard, near Fortieth street, but immediately after the opening of that building the con­ gregation outgrew its seating capacity of 1,500 and it was no uncommon thing for as many as 400 persons to stand through the morning service. As a of relief Second church waa How that the time is at hand when farmers are beginning to get their im­ plements in shape for the season we give below a partial list of some of the makes of implements and farm machin­ ery handled by the following gentlemen. These dealers are reliable and The Plaindealer assures its readers they will carry ont any contract and live tip to any agreement they make. T. J. Walsh, who has been selling to the farmers in this section for the past fifteen years will handle the Champion mowers and binders, made by Warder, Bush "ell & Glesener, the Janesville Mfg. Co., and the D. E. Tour Mfg. Co's. farm implements. Northwestern wagons and buggies of the Peabody make. These goods are reliable and are fully guaranteed by the makers. . Jacob Bonslett has had many years experience in selling farm machinery. He will handle the same lines he has been selling for the past six years. The McCormick binders and mowers, Racine Carriage Co.'s carriages, Weber and Fish Bros., wagons, Rockford Mfg. Go's, plows and harrows made by the Star Co., of Carpentersville. Jos. H. Huemann, of Johnsburgh, will sell the Buckeye binders and mow­ ers, and will sell only reliable goods, such as are fully guaranteed by the makers. He has buggies, wagons, etc., but makes a specialty of windmills. Give Mr. Huemann a chance whenlook- ing for anything in his line. Preparing For Bummer Guests, E. C. Howard, who recently pur­ chased the Mineola hotel at f ox Lake is building a large addition and when com' pleted will have a house, modern in every respect, with over one hundred rooms. Otto Muerkhe has also added to'MB building and pnt in gas and hath rooms. Otto expects to do more business this year than at any previous seaafctfT Dunnell Bros', new house <s com' pleted and will be a popular resort of sportsmen this season. M. J. Fletcher, who for several years managed the Mineola, has leased the Lakeside and will be ready for guests in a short time. Emil Born has leased the Nipper sink club house and will ran it as a hotel this season. Mr. Born has been managing this place for several seasons past and is well and favorably known. H. Ericsson, of the Mineral Springs hotel, has been making many changes in his honse which will be much apprecia ted by his guests. Mr. Ericsson is one of the most popular landlords at Pista kee Bay as is evidenced by the number of people who go to his plaoe from year to year. e* Ben Stilling will be found at the "old stand.1' His house is located in an ideal spot and these who contemplate spending a few days resting and taking life easy should visit this place. Pistakee Point club, owned and man­ aged by S. J. Mellin, is one of those home-like places that people like to to visit. Mr. Mellin has put in gas and made other improvements in hip place which will make Pistakee Point club one Of the best hotels on f;he Bay. Jos. J. Mertes has also fixed up for the coming season. His house commands a good view of the Bay and you can always depend on getting the right kind of treatment from Mr. Mertes. (Continued on page 8.) Church Notes.

Norton was the victim of a very serious accident recently. He was em­ ployed by Ed. Howard, of Fox Lake, to excavate for his new building and was thus engaged when struck by a falling beam. His head was severely cut and he sustained a number of bruises. Eleven stitches were required to close the wound. Dr. Wells, of this village, was the physician in attendant^. . The Htoffei Dance. The Easter dance held in Stoffel's hall was attended by a large crowd. Many of the neighboring towns were repre­ sented by large delegations of young people. It is a potent fact that the popularity of the Stoffel dances is still in the ascendancy. The music was fur­ nished by Baernstein's celebrated orches­ tra and the supper was the usual sump­ tuous affair which Mrs. Stoffel p understands how to serve. ,j £aster Monday Dmee. Riverside hall was completely filled on Monday evening with a merry crowd of dancers. This 'anions old hall never seems to lose its popularity and Land­ lord Besley leaves nothing undone that might add to the comfort or pleasure of his guests.
