THE rain which began last night is
very agreeable one and will help to
cool the air and lay the dust which
has been almost intolerable. The
rain CONF as the last gasp OF the
terrible ste fas which have been raging
in the south. The damage done by
the storm has been tremendous but
we need not fear any of its violence.
1t is to be hoped that the weather
which is to follow the wet spell is not
to be very cold but that the pleasant
warmth may continue.
MONDAY night Harry Pride started
to arrest drunken Italian and a So
Der member of the same race endeavor-
ed to prevent the arrest The conse-
quence was that both the sons of sun
ny Italy landed in the cooler and a
stiff fine had to be paid by the one
who undertook to act as the Judge In
the case without any right to the posi-
tion.
In the list of appointments as Civ
en- yesterday mistake was made in
the case of Rev. S. E. Jones. He
will have the church at Halleck and
not at Sutton as stated yesterday.
The list as sent out was very incor-
rect and many mistakes were incor-
porated in it, but it was the only list
that could be obtained. The others
are not out yet but the correction
necessary will be made when they
are sent out.
Dale Grant we are sorry to say is
very sick and there is but little hope
that he will recover from his illness.
The attending physicians have been
unremitting in their attentions but
the sick boy gets weaker and weaker
and their is no sign of improvement
The entire town will sympathize with
the afflicted family and join the hope
that the fears of those who are at the
bed side may not prove the reality of
the immediate future.

New York. June 17.-The United
States dynamite cruiser Vesuvius evil
IDENTIFY began q new era In warfare
when she made havoc Of the Santiago
Notifications Monday night with three
of her giant shells. Army and navy
men are talking about her as reverent-
ly as IL she were something s~upernat-
ural. Citizens generally compared her
with Ericsson's Monitor n said she Is
q hundred times more destructive.
DE Borden Wilmot. representative of
the Pneumatic Torpedo and Construc-
ton company of New York. which
company designed n built the cruiser
vesuvius and sold her to the United
States government after she had under
gone a series of severe tests. said:
The vesuyius has a battery OF three
pneumatic guns, mounted in the bow
at an angle OF Is degrees. The guns
are So feet long. Is inches bore and
built rigidly into the vessel. From all
I have read about Mondays trial with
three shots. 1 am convinced that she
has not shown half OF her ability.
What can h do? h can drop 500
pounds OF nitro-gelatine nearly two
miles away with accuracy. She can
repeat this feat Is times In 10 minutes.
This means three and three-quarters
tons of high explosive thrown on the
Spanish ships or forts or whatever the
objects OF attack may be.
''The destructive power OF such Q
broadside Is almost beyond computa-
ton. IL is enough to destroy a city,
10 wipe IL on the face of the earth
and eliminate every trace OF Its exist
| ence. The nitro-gelatine Is half as
strong again as dynamite. Imagine
the effect of three n three-quarters
tons OF IL. The moral effect of a bonn
bardment by the Vesuvius must be
tremendous
