1.-THE Iowa's helm was immediately
put hard to the starboard and the en-
tire starboard broadside was poured in
to the Maria Teresa. The helm was
then quickly shifted to port, and the
ship went across the stern OF the Teresa
in an effort to head off the Oquendo. All
the time the engines were driving at
full speed ahead. A perfect torrent
of shells from the enemy passed over
the smokestacks and superstructure OF
the ship, but none struck her.
1.-The Cristobal Colon being much
faster than the rest of the Spanish
ships, went rapidly to the front in an
effort to escape. In passing the Iowa
the Colon placed two six-inch shells
fairly in our starboard bow. One pass
ed through the cofferdam and dispen-
sary, wrecking the latter and bursting
on the berth-deck, doing considerable
damage. The other passed through the

Az THE EXPOSITION.
COST OF A WEEK AT OMAHA,S
BIG SHOW.
Room and Board for Exposition Visitors
at Moderate Cost-Precautions Taken
to Ensure Comfort and Fair Treat
ment for All Who Attend.

Perhaps the first consideration with
those contemplating a visit to the

this summer is that of cost.
In the first place, the railroads have
granted exceedingly low rates. Rooms
can be obtained at moderate cost in
any part % the city, in some cases in

gage can be checked direct to this adj
dress at charge of % cents. The bu-
reau is under contract with the exposi-
ton management to furnish free relia-
BILE information in regard to rooms,
board, transportation, baggage, etc.
The bureau has on its books some 900
rooms, mostly in private residences, in
all parts of the city. Comfortable rooms
can be obtained for 81 night or S. n
week for one person, and 81. so night
or IS week for two. In some cases a
light breakfast is included in these
prices. There are also rooms at higher
or lower figures and the hotels furnish
the usual accommodations at the usual
prices. Good board can be had for S.
a week for each person. The restau-
rants and lunch stands throughout the
city, and near and inside the grounds,

A TRAVELLERS TESTIMONY.
What He Carried on the Cars
To Take when Travelling.

Every traveller knows that continuous
journeying on the railroad is very apt TO
derange the system in some way. In spite
of springs and soft seats there is a contin-
uous jar and vibration. which acts upon
the nervous system, and produces results
varying somewhat, according 10 the
strength Of the traveller or his predisposi-
tion to some specific ailment. The most
common consequence of continuous car
riding Is constipation. And this condition
invariably produces headache, and tends
to biliousness. ]. J. Converse, st. Louis,
Mo-, found a way to avoid the evil effects
of nstipation, to which he was subject
when travelling. lie carried with him
"the pill that will" cure constipation and
all its sequent suferings. This is what
he says:
travelling on the cars tends to consti-
patton with me, but by using DR.. J. {,
Ayers Pills moderately, my bowels are
keptin healthy action. They also prevent
headaehe."-J. J. CONVERSE, st. Louis, Mo.
s'Dr. Ayers Pills are good for constipation

FRANCIS d. HARLowR, Atlanta, Ca.
Constipation Is, perhaps, the most seri-
Gus physical evil Of to-day. IL is like the
Octopus, that grapples its victim and
fastens its tentacles on trunk and limbs
one after another, until at last, incapable
of longer resistancs, the helpless being
succumbs 10 his frightfui foe. Constipa-
tion is the beginning of many OF the most
murderous maladies, the clogged system

WHOLE MOUNTAIN ATTIRE.

with The Fairview funnel Fire.
From the Topeka State Journal

From the Topeka State Journal.
The burning Of the Fairview tunnel
on the Santa Fe-Paciic, near Williams.

aoss TO the company than was at irst
supposed il would. Ever SINCE the
fire started, the company has had 70
employ a large number OF men TO
transfer the mail and baggage around
abe mountain.
The work of rebuilding the tunnel
has been carried on with a great deal
Of expeose and the tunnel has blazed
forth ana caved in three times since
she original Gre.
II is now thought that the whole
mountain is a burning mass OF sui
pburic acid and coal dtposit5. At
present all Of the through freight and
the California limited passenger bust
ness IS handled by the Southern Pacihc
from Deming TO Los Angeles.
The expense that follows the hand
ling of the business by another road,
together with the expense OF Working
on the tunuel. will make quite u differ
euce in b net earnings OF the road Tor
the year. !,
The through California trains ] and
9 are run over the Santa Fe.Pacibc
tracks to either side of the tunnel and
the passengers transferred in convey
aoces, as is also the baggage and ex-
press.
Work is still being carried on at the
stunned, and it may be that the noun
,tain will vet be blasted and a deep cut
made out of the now demoralized
tuDnel.
Investigation shows conclusively that
the new fire was caused by spontaneous
combustion. The geological formation
of the mountain through which the
tunnel passes is chiefly limestone of o
high degree of purity. The lime is
part of q series of strata, lime, lava and
volcanic ashes, succeeding each other.
The Gre Of the past week, together
with the natural moisture OF tbs soil
