SPANISH INCOMPETENCE

Enables Our Little Gunboat EaRle to
Destroy a Big Spanish Cruiser.
Key West. July 20.-The Spanish
transatlantic liner San Domingo, of
$500 tons, was totally destroyed by the
little auxiliary gunboat Eagle on July
IL off Cape Francis. This intelligence
was brought here yesterday by the
Nashville. which came up after the at
tack and found the Spanish ship
burned and smashed on the reefs.
The affair offers a striking common
tary on the difference between Ameri-
can and Spanish spirit The San Do
mingo had two five inch guns mounted
and loaded. her magazines were open,
and 1t only remained to train her guns
and fire them to blow the little Eagle
out of the sea- But the latter. with her
comparatively feeble battery of six
FOUNDERS, steamed TO within two miles
OF the enemy and pounded shot after
shot into her until she turned and, &. =
desperate attempt to get into the mar
row channel, grounded on the reef
without having tried to return the
American fire.
Seventy shots were fired by the Eagle
and nearly all took effect. When the
Spanish ship went ashore a river
steamer came out and took off her Of
ncers ana crew. Then the Eagle sent a
crew to board her. and there were
some shouts of surprise when the big
guns were discovered. She also car
ried in her hold two IL inch guns.
The cargo was largely of grain and
food supplies Fifty head of cattle
were penned on the decks. The Eagles
men decided that she was too far gone
to be f1oated, and after shooting the
cattle they set fire to her and watched
her destruction The same river steam
er again ran out to try 20 get Off some
Of the cargo, but was baffled by the
flames. The San Domingo burned for
three days. and was left a charred and
misshapen wreck She was one of the
best steamers OF the enemy. and had
been used as an auxiliary cruiser.

Death Of n. X. Patterson.


Died, at his home near Rec Heights
Saturday night Feb. 70, 1898, Mr..
Norman Patterson, in the 55th year
OF his age. About ten days before
his death he was taken with what
was thought to be the grippe, but
was out OF doors Saturday attend
ing to some work, and ate a hearty
dinner with his family. In the even
ing he became suddenly worse and
died in a short time with paralysis
OF the heart. So sudden was his
death, that it was hard for the fam
lily to realize that the husband and
father had passed away.
Funeral services were held at the
church Tuesday forenoon, conducted
by Rev p. b. Fisk, and the church
was filed with sorrowing friends.
The remains were inferred in the g.
A. r. cemetery at Miller. DR.. Nc
Mutt, OF Aberdeen, a brother
OF Mrs. Patterson was the only
relative from a distance who could
be present. A wife and sourchildren.
Edith at Cripple Greek, Col, Walter,
Mabel and Roy living at home, are
left to mourn the loss OF Il kind hus-
band and father. Mr.. Patterson was
for many years engaged in the news
paper work in Chicago, and came to
Dakota in 1888. For several years
he has held different offices in the
township, and was Il member OF the
school board. Quiet and gentle in
his ways, upright and honorable in
his dealings, always cheerful and
kind, these qualities had so endeared
him to all who knew him, that his
death is felt to be great loss to the
community. The writer heard one
man remark, Eve have none left like
him" and we think that is the senti-
ment of all. The sympathy OF all is
extended the Borrowing family. and
may the God of the widow and he
fatherless comfort them in their sal
affection, and as they see the vacant
chair, end many sad reminders OF the
loved one gone, may they find sweet
comfort in the thought There is IA
world above, where parting is un-
known"

4 Tribute TO the &. A. r.

The Ho ward Spirit strikes deeply
and to the point with relation to the
pension question. After reciting the
fact of it's editor being a charter
member of the second g. A Il. post
organized. in which he took a great
interest and pleasure, he says: But
of recent years the pleasure has gone
out OF them. They have become too
pathetic, too sadly suggestive. Go
into any little country town in the
state, or in the United States. Take
"a position near the q. A. r. hall on
the day Of its meeting. Watch when
the post drum beats the assembly.
Watch the old wrecks as they strug~
gle to the door and crawl slowly and
painfully up the stairs. Strain your
ears to catch the low, faint tones of
greeting from quiverlng lips. Can
that be the tongue that answered so
loudly and SO proudly Here when
his country called him by name?
Note the feeble uncertain step, the
bent form and bowed head leaning
on IL crutch or supported by Il stan,
and imagine ii you can, that remi-
niscence of manhood, with erect and
springing step, following the liag to
the harvest field OF death. Observe
the skirmiSh lue OF canes feeling
carefully the uncertain way for dian
old eyes that have looked into the

Just a Little Uollar.

Just little dollar on it's mission
sent, makes a lot OF people glad each
time the coin is spent. You pay it
to the butcher for meat to give you
strength; he takes il to the grocer
from which it goes IT length, some
y.eaty bit Of cloth or lace his better
half to buy; or helps to get her WI
ter hat to make her rival sigh. The
dry goods man sends on the coin to
pay his market bill, aud though the
coin is often spent, it stays Il dollar
still; and every time tbs spent at
home some act oi good is done in
booming local industries ere setting
OF the sun. But il you take that
shining coin and break the local
chain, the chances are that from afar,
twill not return again, Ii once it
passes out OF town, the butcher and
the laker, the grocer and the dry
goods man, the cook, the undertake
er, the carpenter, thecarriage wright,
the blacksmith, every one, will
lose the chance TO touch that
coin ere setting OF the sun. Just
keep the little coin ut home, Just
keep it moving ae!l, and every time
it changes hands sDmebody's goods
twill SELL That single little dollar
has thus a wonderful power, to make
somebody better d dozen times an
hour. 1t pays the bills and wards
OF ills, and Ter is power relaxes to
soothe the doctor, buy the coal, and
pay for clothes and taxes.-Ameri-
