B0MBARDED
Santiago De Cuba At
tackled BY Ameri-
cans Tuesday.
THE FORTS ARE BADLY DAMAGED.
Spanish Cruiser Rsina Mercedes SO Badly
Wrecked With Shot And Shell That She had
To Be abandoned

ASHINGToN, June AT f:lo
o'clock this evening the navy depart
ment received dispatch from Admir-
al Sampson announcing that. between
1880 and 10 o'clock yesterday morning
he bombarded the Santiago fortitica-
tions and completely silenced them.
HAYTI, June 1905 a. m--The
fighting before and in the vicinity of
Santiago de Cuba continued the great
er part of yesterday from s a. m. I'M
til II o'clock. Ten of the American
warships maintained steady and
carefully directed fire against FL Nor
70 castle and the batteries at Punta
Gorda, Socapa and Cincoreales, in adj
dition to bombarding the Spanish fleet
in the harbor The percentage of
effective projectiles.
Itappears from the best information
obtainable at this place, the cable sta
ton connecting with Santiago de
Cuba, that immense damage was in
tiicted on the enemy. The Spaniards
admit that the lombard ment from the
American fleet was most destructive.
About 1900 proiectifes are said to have
been fired by the American ships, and
it seems that the responsive fire from
the Spanish batteries and ships was
scarcely felt at all by the Americans.
The Notifications near the entrance
of the harbor are described as being
riddled with solid shot and shattered
by the explosions of immense shells
fired by the American battleships.
The Spanish batteries are understood
to have been virtually silenced and
FL MORO and the Notifications at
Socapa and Punta Gorda are reported
to have been demolished bv the three
hours uninterrupted hammering of
the American fleet.
The American attack is now said to
have been specially directed against
Aquadores, a small coast town little
to the east of the entrance to Santigo
hay. Tbs idea of the American admiral
it appears. was to land troops and
seige guns there after reducing the de-
lenses of the place and then make a
close assault upon Santiago, which in
view of the present conditions Of its
fertilization may be expected to yield
very soon after the beginning of such
an attack.

Scalp Fund Nearly Exhausted.

Grant county hunters seem to be
lucky this year in the capture of
bounE-bearing auimals and the $500.
90 scalp fund appropriated at the last
meeting Of the county board is nearly
exhausted
The latest arrivals Of scalps draws
attention to the fact that but $50 now
remains of the fund in the hands of
Treasurer Mauer. Andrew Holt
brought in ten young wolves from the
town of Melville on May 25th. He
was followed by Richard Grundy,
Lancaster, with five young foxes. Geo.
Rudersdorf bought two of the foxes to
keep as pets and the other three were
turned in to the county. On Thurs
day last Chas Woodman, CassvilIe,
brought in a full grown male wolf and
three small wolves.
Some of our hunters have experience
ed trouble in getting their bounty
money, because of not being posted in
the new law. The old law required
them to bring captured animals before
the chairman of the county board and
scalp them in his presence. The new
law requires the hunter to bring ami
mails before the chairman of the town
board in which said animals were cap
tured and the chairman gives the
hunter certificate which he takes to-
gether with the scalps to the county
clerk in Lancaster. All of this is re-
CURED to be done within 60 days after
the catching of said animals. When

sents bag full of live baby wolves.
foxes or wildcats to the count clerk
with beautiful smile instead of a
certificate from his town clerk-all
the county clerk can do is to send him
back home with his menagerie and
without money.
After the scalp fund is exhausted
the couai Y clerk will draw the hunter
certificate which can not be paid by
the treasurer until after the county
board makes another appropriation at
its next session in November.

Mrs. PAMELA A SegrayeS was born
in Rens county, \. r., Jan. 9. 1916,
and died at her home in Beetown, Nay
26. 1898.
After long life Of 50 years, 4months
and II days filled with care. eloud and
perplexity mingled with seasons Of
sunshine, the ABOVE departed wife
and mother passed t. the realms of
paradise, home she had well earned,
beginning as she did at the early age
Of ~ years to follow as best she knew
the footsteps of tie Lord of Life. And
while in the noon hours of life, pos
sessing plenty OF that which is used
to sustain mortal life, she gave liber-
allv to the needy on the right hand
and on the left. But in the declining
years o. life when fortune did not so
smile upon her, and becoming infirm
in body with age, she, with all the
energy and strength she possessed,
strived with needle and otherwise to
still sue 'ain herself. And in the clos
ing months Of life when wrapped in
misery and pain such as few people
ever pass through, she still in meek
ness manifested fervent trust and
faith in Him who provides bIissful
home for the true and The tried. And
thus the voice of the Death Angel was
not an unpleasant sound to her.
A FRIEND.

ING after darkness fell the two dyno-
mos sent their electric currents forth
to the street arc lamps and to the IN
candescents within the buildings. The
electric plant demonstrated its ability
to do good lighting in every point
The only adverse comment made Is
that there are not enough arc lights.
Many people claim that the streets
are not as well lighted now as they
were from the old lamp posts. The
average man expected too much OF an
electric light. The fact OF the mat
ter is that you must have an electric
light wherever you have had kero-
sene lamp if you desire satisfactory
results; the city would be almost
as light as day. An arc lamp does
not throw its light to as great a dis
lance as kerosene lamp; but as far
as it does reach, the arc light is a
great deal better.

After two hearings before Judge
Smith, of the Mitchell district in the
case of the railroad commissioners of
this state against the Milwaukee COM
pany to secure a daily passenger train
service from Chamberlain to Mitchell,
in which the company secured the first
ruling of the court IN it's favor and IN
| the second the commissioners won, was
again argued before Judge Smith at
Mitchell last Monday. The Republican
Of that city gives the outcome Of the
hearing as follows:
1.-The attorneys for the commission
held in their argument that the railroad
had naught else to do but comply with
the order they issued compelling the
railroad to establish the passenger ser
vice. Mr.. Kittredge maintained that
the company had a right to be heard in
answer to the complaint, and to show
that the service could not be maintained
without a loss to the company. Judge
Smith ruled to the effect that the COM
paDy could be heard on that proposition,
and as a result the passenger train SER
vice will not. be realized for some time
yet. The case will very likely be carried
to the supreme court for a final de-
cislOn.'
