L, April 17., 1899. ,• My Dear Mother:— $ Again I will write you a short let ter. I am feeling splendid Elmer has not vet come out of the hospital and I hope he stays in as long as they will let him. It is easier and better for him, he has been in now more than six weeks and, of course, is past all possible danger, they are quite strict about letting boys out from the hospital until they have fully regain ed their strength because ,we are in active service now aud a 'man must be strong to staud it. We have been in the field tine mouth yesterday* and have endured lots of hardships in that time and had something like 40 men killed and wounded, 1 don't know.the exact number. The weath er is excessively hot and we have to march day and night, aud sjinetim we get plenty of food but more often. we aon t, I have made lots of good meals on hardtack and coffee, thcugh we usually have some of that canned beef which is the worst stuff for beef have ever eaten. 1 see Dan and Harry occe in a while, I seen the 12th day of the capture of "Saui Marie," he was not feeling, very well then. The night of the 11th of April the insurgents attacked our camp about 11 o'clock and the fightiDg lasted all night they partially .suc ceeded in turning our flank,Co. of 13th,' fell back a little but recaptur ed the camp again, wheu Co. rush ed out of thair tents the iusurgents were in their kitchen, pretty close quarters isn't it? At daylight Co, ti. and F, came down to reinforce us and we chased them five miles, got back at noon, the next morning our whole regiment and Co. 6 of the Oregons attacked a town called Sant Marie and captured it and burnt the whole tpwu the insurgents did not make very much of a stand, as soon as the battery opened on them they left town carrying all they could with them.. We have been in a skir mish every day for a week until yes' terdayand today and think our light ing is about over and as fcr me am ready to go home a man who enlists in the regulars to come out here is a little off, everyoue of them, and 1 have talked with hundreds, are sick of it before they have been here two weeks. 1 don't say this to keep any one at hoipe but I Lope someone will see it before it is too late I know the place aud future in store for the sol diers, here, the Chaplain was just here and gave me the this-paper and and envelope so you can thank him for your letter, 1 would have to write on cartridge boxes if he had not been here. Well mother, only a few weeks moire and Elmer and I will be with you, With lots of love to all, I am jour loving son, Loo. J., April 21,1 Deab MoTHEn:— Again I commence a letter to you, Elmer is out of the hospital now and with us. He came day before yester day after staying in the hospital 40 day8, he looks well and is ntit marked at all, didn't have thfe small pox very hard. I wonder what he will have next, he has had small pox and measles since he enlisted. I am feel ing fine though we are having a hard time of it, but before yQu get this the war will be over and we will be on our way home, We nave a ekirpaish almost every day, today in a skirojish, two fellows in Qiir regiment were wounded about four miles from camp, they had' to be carried in by haud as we had no am bulances. There is a hig move now foot to break camp tomorrow and the brigade camps two miles south of here tomorrow evening, then the next day, Sunday (all big moves come on Sunday or the 13th of the month) we advance on the Goo Goos, as the boys call the insurgents—we expect to take ten days field rations and may be gone longer. 1 expect it will be a ruuning fight for that time though it may not, they may give up easily* Yqu Hotel of course will read about it in the papers before yQU gpt this letter. There is lots of sicknesa in the company since we got into active service, we see some of the hardships that others endured now, we have oijly 3ft men $t for duty out af 10E) wh]ch we started out with, most of the rest are sick or discharg ed, we have not lost many from death. You would not know Bfte now, I look so tough, long whiskers, ragged clothes, holes in my shoes, no socks, long hair uncombed and dirty faced, but I feel good and when 1 get home will look as pice as eyer.Only lQdays more of fight and then home. Well I will close as it is dark and we start early tomorrow* With lots of love togall, your loving son, Lou. A Close Call. The Tornado of last Tuesday ev eningitore the roof off of J. C. Thorn's buggy shedt carried it over the gran ary and scattered the pieces about the door yard. Mr. and Mrs, Thom had just arrived home and Mr. Thom got in the shelter of the grapary and thus escaped the fiying pieces, but Mrs, Thom was less fortunate, and when about half way from the bug gy to the house, she was struck on the head and Knocked down. Mr. Thom succeeded in getting her to the house when assistance was called and it was found that her head was severely bruised in severely bruised in several places, and a large piece of the scalp was cut and torn loose from the* bone, the skull itself, being but slightly injured,—Ruahmore En terprise.

All lawiln The Omaha's Rail Cutter. Last week Thursday* by courtesy of Roadmaster H. Grahn^of the Oma ha road, the local editorial people were taken to. Sioux Falls Junction to see the operation of a new^ piece of machinery lor cutting Steel rails and boring new holes in them* recently purchased by the Omaha road. The Omaha is always a leader in railroad equipment, and this machine is the first one brought into the northwest. There has been similar machines made but this one is of the most modern tvpe. It is composed of some massive parts and the work ing is complete in all details. It oc cupies its own car and can be moved from one division to another. The rails are lifted from the car to the sawing carriage by a crane operated bv air. A clamp, operated air* is placed on the rail whew it is to be sawed and then \h«» sawing carriage set in a tilted position is moved for ward bringing the vail upon the saw by air pressure. The saw is of soft steel and will saw a steel rail off in five seconds. ThQ{ail»a|s thenpafisj ed along qq rulers by men to the drilling machine which is arranged so as to drill three holes in four ends of a rail at the same time. Water is kept running on the saw am&. drill bits all the time while working to keep tbem 90pl.. The rails are then sorted out according to their lengths and placed on skids, ready to be re placed in the track for^ service. The ends sawed off which are battered by long service, are sent ta the rol ling mills as old iron* A force of twenty-one men is required when op erated to its full) capacity. By reas on of the lar$e increase in the price of rails,, this is a great saving te the company. One of these machines cost about |\6,0QP Supt. Speifcer was out there the first of the week andpronoxmces the machine a muocest Work was suspended this week for the present. l^oadmaster Grahn was in charse of the work and is well pleasea with* the manner which the machine does the work.
