Prosperity.

A mans condition depends almost
entirely upon himself. Luck is but a
small factor to most men in attaining
wealth. Industry, perseverance and
good judgment make the foundation
upon which man builds well. The
first start in life of many of our great
men has been upon farm. Opportu-
mites are as good at present as they
have been in the past. Fine hard
wood farming lands in northern Wis
consin adjacent to the Wisconsin Cen
trail Lines are still to be had at very
reasonable figures and on easy terms.
Build a home of your own and be
happy.

final week of its work The congress
will close on Wednesday.
To-days session was devoted first to

sion on the subject of trademarks.
Congressman Irving p. Wanger of
Pennsylvania presided to-day.
Carlos Yensen, delegate from Bilboa,
Spain, spoke of the famous iron ores
which come from the section of Spain
which he represents. He thought that
if the United States possessed greater
shipping facilities her trade with Spain,
and especially with Bilboa, would be
greatly enlarged.
Pietro Tapparin of Florence, italy, in
discussing the question of tariff, took
the ground that it has been proven by
experience that prohibitive duties are
sometimes as injurious to the country
which imposed them as the country
against which they are imposed, and
applies the proposition to the Dingley
tariff as it affects Italy and the United
States

WASHINGTON, Oct. 30. - General
Guy V. Henry was given military bur-
ial at Arlington to-day, his grave be-
ing close to the Temple of Fame, and
within sight of that of his old COM
mander, General Crook.
The Secretary of War and members
of the Cabinet attended the services
both at the church and the cemetery
The military escort consisted of a
battery of artillery, troop of the Third
Cavalry now stationed at Fort Meyer,
where General Henry was once in COM
mand, and the members of the Guy "

the ridge for five hours, suddenly fell
back across the open upon our guns.
The Fifty-third Battery pluckily push
ed forward to cover this withdrawal.
Several casualties occurred at this
phase. The Fifty-third Battery held
on against cross-fire of rifles and quick
firing guns until the infantry was clear.
The teams of the two guns were ranged
and the battery eventually retired,
made-up teams being sent to extricate
two guns. The cavalry, remaining un-
til supported, were forced to fall back
also.
Then began a general retirement on
Ladysmith. The guns which had been
covering the Devonshire regiment
stoutly covered the final withdrawal.
The enemy did not press, but showed
themselves in their position in great
numbers, only to find that the naval
brigade from the Powerful had arrived.
Two quick firing guns were at once
placed in position, under cover of a re-
doubt, and in five rounds they silenced
the enemy's forty FOUNDER.
The troops were back in Ladysmith
by 2 o'clock in the afternoon.
The casualties caused by the enemy's
artillery were not severe. The mountain
battery on the left reported that 1T
suffered through a stampede of mules.
Our artillery, cavalry, mounted in
fantry and volunteer cavalry behaved
splendidly in difficult circumstances.
DIR. Jameson and Sir John Willoughby
arrived to-day, and were spectators of
the action
Mr.. Stevens. the war correspondent
of the Daily Mail" describing the en-
gagement at Ladysmith, says:
By 10 o'clock the British had driven
the Beers back several miles, when the
retirement was ordered, which Sir Ar
chibald Hunter conducted with great
skill, retiring battalion by battalion,
| covering the movement with the artil-
lery of their guns by alternate batter
les. The Boer artillery, field, quick
firing and seige guns, Immediately
opened a heavy fire all around, show
ing their knowledge of war by aiming
at the guns and wagons as they retir-
ed. Little damage was done, however
and our operations We're quite unfiur-
! ried.
! At the end of the action bearer
company advanced under a Red Cross
| flag, and was fired upon by the Beers
or because of want of discipline, since
the fire soon ceased. In the meantime
the native bearers continued their ad-
vance, their cool bravery being most
praiseworthy.

SANTA ANA, Oct. 30.-Luther Hun
gerford, charged with the murder of
James Marion Gregg. and recently
found guilty, was to-day discharged by
Superior Judge Ballard, the verdict of
the jury being set aside, and the Dis
trict Attorney refusing to further pros

ed considering the evidence relating to
the case previous TO the morning of the
day of the shooting. and without that
evidence the verdict of the jury could
not be sustained The verdict was,
therefore, set aside and new trial or
dered
At this juncture the District Attorney

had no new evidence to introduce in
another trial. and he thought il use
less attempt to secure a conviction He
then moved that the case be dismissed,

THE LADYSMITH BATTLE.
The Engagement as Reported by

LONDON, Oct. 31.-The correspond

The action seemed to be proceeding
most satisfactorily, when, at 1:15 a. m.,
the enemy in large numbers, with field
guns, Maxims and 3I-millimetre guns,
began to develop a heavy attack on
Colonel Grimwood's infantry. The cav

and practically acting as infantry In
the meantime our batteries kept down
the siege gun fire upon Ladysmith with

The Shipbui1der and Philanthro-

NEW YORK, Oct. 30-William H.
Webb, the shipbuilder and philanthro-
pist, died to-day. aged SO years
William H. Webb was reputed to be
worth S2O,000,00O but little was known
of him as a millionaire He has been
called the father of American ship
ping. Sixty-two years ago he built the
famous packet Oxford of Blackball
line, which ran between New York and
Liverpool. He also built the first large
steamer for the New Orleans trade,
and the first for the Pacific Mail Steam
ship Company. In all, he is said to
have built more than 80 ships, from
the ironclad to the merchantmen in his
shipyard on the East River. 1t is said
he has kept track of every man who
ever worked for him. He had built
warships for Spain, Russia, England,
France, Italy and other countries.
A few years ago he built a home for
impecunious shipbuilders and a train
ing school for young shipbuilders in
Fordham flights. 1t cost S5O0,00O, and
he endowed it with $2,00O,000.
The record-union., 1899-10-31

NEW YORK, Oct. 31.-The Pennsyl-
vania ferry-boat Chicago, plying be-
tween Jersey City and New York, was
cut in two by the steamer City of -Au-
gusta of the Old Dominion Steamship
line at 1875 this (Tuesday) morning on
the New York side of North River.
She went down in seven or eight min
utes. There were between thirty and
forty people aboard, four being wo-
men. 1t is supposed that several per-
sons were drowned, though there is no
positive proof of this assertion.
In spite of the severity of the acci-
dent, there was no panic. Most of the
people were on the upper deck and only
half a dozen persons were on the lower
deck. Most of the persons managed to
obtain life preservers. Some others
who could not obtain them swan
ashore.
Five or six persons who started from
the lower deck assisted each other in
getting ashore. One or two were With
out life preservers, but they aided each
other and succeeded in getting to the
pier safely.
There was considerable shouting for
help, the people on the boat calling for
small boats to come to their assistance.
No small boats were launched, how
ever, probably owing to the brief period
of time which elapsed between the cut
ting in two and the sinking.
The Old Dominion liner was evidently
coming up the river at the time Of
the accident, while the ferry boat Chi
cago was headed straight across from
the New Jersey shore for the New
York slip.
The City of Augusta stopped after the
accident, but apparently no boats were
launched and in the brief space of time
which elapsed nothing was done to as
sist the persons in the water.
Estimates made by the passengers
who succeeded in escaping differ very
widely, some thinking it possible that
at least a score of persons were drawn
into the whirling vortex as the ferry
boat sank. The steamboat squad, a few
minutes before O'clock found body,
which it is supposed is that of one of
the passengers on the ferryboat,
drowned as the result of the collision.
H. w. Bible of this city jumped over
board with life preserver. He saw
four women struggling in the water
near him, but was unable to help them.
He was picked up by a lifeboat and
taken ashore. Searchlights are being
used in the work of rescue.
A number of tugs and small boats
have been secured. Everything is be-
ing done to pick up persons from the
water. One boat brought six men,
two women and a child.
Captain Dunham, who commanded
the ferryboat, says that he is of the
opinion that no lives were lost, unless
perhaps that of one of the firemen, j.
Broom.
Seven wagons and teams were lost
One of these belonged to the American
Express Company and had $4,000 worth
of silver on it.
