San Juan Engagement

ONE SHELL WHICH CAME NEAR
 THE FLAGSHIP.
Frank A. Kinne, a San Franciscan, Gives @ Graphic Account of the Second Important Naval
 Battle.

Frank A. Kinne, 6 San Francisco youngster, graduate of the High School here, and the son of Colonel c. Mason Kinne, is acting second lieutenant of ma rines aboard Admiral Sampson's flagship New York. His description of the bom- bardment of San Juan, Porto Rico, writ ten to his father, is a vivid account of the engagement of the Spanish batteries. The Call is permitted to make these ex- tracts from the letter:
 U. S. S. New York, Key West, Fla, May 1s,
 1898.
 We arrived here last evening from San Juan de Porto Rico. having been gone since May 4. When we came over from Cuba hurriedly on stores and ammunition for a long cruise, most of us thought that when we left we would have some fighting to do and it proved true.

Duelists Arraigned.

John Joseph Sehl and Charles Hammer smith were arraigned before Judge Mo- gan yesterday morning on the charge of assault with deadly weapon. Their at torneys said they were not ready to pro- ceed. and by consent continuance was granted till Friday.
 No complaints have as yet been sworn to by either party, and 1t is the general belief that each will refuse to prosecute the other and the cases will fall through. The police have been unable to find any witnesses who will say that they saw the shots exchanged between the parties in the lodging house, PAP Post street

AIDED BY MRS. PINKHAM.

Mrs. ". E. PAXTON, Youngstown, North Dakota, writes about her strug- gle to regain health after the birth of her little girl:
 ''DEAR MRS. PNKHAM:-1t is with pleasure that I add my testimony to your list, hoping that it may induce others to avail themselves of your val uable medicine.
 After the birth of my little girl, three years ago, my health was very poor. had leucorrhea badly, and a terrible bearing-down pain which gradually grew worse, until I could do no work. Also had headache nearly all the time, and dizzy feelings. Men, situations were very profuse, appear ing every two weeks.
 "Itook medicine from good doctor, but it seemed to do no good. I was becoming alarmed over my condition, when read your advertisement in paper. l sent at once for bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com ponnd, and after taking two-thirds of the bottle felt so much better that I send for two more. After using three bottles felt as strong and we'll as any one.
 "I think 1t is the best medicine for female weakness ever advertised, and recommend it to every lady l meet suf- fering from this trouble"
 Maternity is wonderful experience and many women approach it wholly unprepared. Childbirth under right conditions need not terrify women.
 The advice of Mrs. Pinkham is freely offered to all expectant mothers, and her advice is beyond question the most valuable to be obtained. If Mrs. Pax ton had written to Mrs. Pinkham be- fore confinement she would have been saved much suffering. Mrs. Pinkham's address is Lynn, Mass.

A Good Show Coming.

| Lovers of a hrst-class Minstrelsy
Will have an opportunity of seeing one of
the largest and best burnt cork attrac.
tlons at the Great Bend Opera House
on Saturday, Oct ~, when Hi. Hen.
rvs MinstIels will fill in an open date
enroute to Denver, and bring to Great
Bend the same big attraction that has
appeared in New York City, Boston.
greatest success.
Mr.. Hi. Henry is credited with pre-.
senting one of the strongest Minstrel
Attractions of the presenc time. The
company numbers fifty performers,
e embracing eight Comedians. two dis.
tinct Quartets, grand carefully drilled
chorus of twenty five, an Orchestra of
fifteen. and superb Military Band of
twenty-five, who discourse Wagner's
music and the classic overtures. The
vocal and instrumental features of the
attraction are said to be unequaled in
their line. And it may be added that
their very low price of admission have
never been equaled by such hrst.class
attraction. The Springfield (Mo.)
Leader Democrat of Oct. II, says:
Last night large audience of de-
Lighted people were out at the Baldwin
to see and hear Hi. Henry's minstrels.
The company was fully up to expecta-
tions and gave a clean, novel, and
thoroughly enjoyable entertainment. It
is by far the best show of the kind that
has come to Springfield in many seas
ons, and while retaining all the fun pro.
voking procl1vities of the modern min.
strel entertainment, with songs jokes,
etc., there was notably an absence of
the horse play and coarse jests that are
usually feature. The Jokes were new
and the playing refined. The musical
features were way above the average,
from the overtures by the band and or.
chestra to the solos and choruses by
the company. The settings and cos
tunes were features, especially the
first part. Hi. Henry in his cornet solos
was excellent. and the same can be
said of every one who took part in the
performance.

Quail on Toast.

When Walt Cornell does the guest
act he does it like a prince. He has
been entertaining his brother-in.law,
Mr.. Mcdonald of Illinois, for the past
week. He has taken him out riding
behind unbroken colts to give him the
sensation of runaway; has yanked
him over the prairies when the wind
was blowing 800 miles a minute to
view the landscape DER: has piloted
him through the tenderloin districts
of our metropolitan city, and made
him acquainted with verything-from
buffalo chip to our worthy Mayor.
Mr. Mcdonald shows himself equal
to all emergencies-even giving Walt
cards and spades and then beating
him at quail shooting. After one of
their hunting excursions. last week,
Walt invited about 40 OF his old friends
and Heighbors to sneak away from
their wives and join him at a quail
supper in honor of Mr.. Mcdonald.
We did. There was quail on toast and
everything else good to eat, served
from to 10, at Kinney's restaurant.
After supper the party adjourned to
Concordia hall where couple of hours
were spent 10 one of those old-fashion-
ed free and easy, companionable ''stag
parties" which no man ever attends
without feeling afterwards that he has
better friends and neighbors than any
body else on earth; where everybody's
speeches are good, every mans stories
funny, and all the singing away up in
high G.

Cant Find Them.

Occasionally we hear the name of
certain democrats given, who it is said
will vote the republican ticket this
fall. but when we run down the report
we find no truth in it. While the men
on the republican ticket SO far as We
know are all good citizens, the same
can be said of the candidates on the
opposition ticket, hence there is no rea.
son for g. democrat sacrificing the
principles for which he has so long
contended The candidates on the
republican ticket represent ideas that
are opposed to the entire democratic
faith. How can a democrat support
man who will uphold the Dingley
Bill which is a perfect robbery in the
name of protection? How can a DEM
ocrat vote for men who advocate the
single gold standard, our present sys-
tenn of finances Il is not against re-
publican men that democrats will vote
this fall but against the ideas and
principles they are advocating. The
republican party is the ancient enemy
of democracy and while democrats
have not received what they think
they are entitled to at the hands of
the populists in thia campaign, they
are not really to forget the past and
assist republicans in power.-Emporia
Democrat.

VoTERs, don't pledge yourself to
trade. Our republican opponents are
arranging a plan by which they hope
to win two men Oh their ticket at the
expense of the rest of their candidates.
They realize that if all the anti-re-
publican voters-the democrats and
populists-vote for our candidates the
silver ticket will be elected by several
hundred majority. Hence they figure
that if they can concentrate their ef
forts on two candidates and fool our
people into trading" they might win
a couple of men. Don't be fooled.
You know that ALL the candidates
on the fusion ticket are competent.
capable and trustworthy gentlemen.
and there is no reason why We should
not elect them all.
