A ADIsCoNCERTING EXPERIENCE.

a ADISCONCERTING EXPERIENCE.
Oace upon time there was junior
in college who wore clever clothes and
a steady nerve that never failed him.
His work with his nerve was wonder
fully strong, and he had never been
known TO miss point. 1t was just on
account Of that nerve and her admira-
ton for it thai Miss Smithson, OF the
Alpha Kappa sorority, was prompted
to accept his invitation to the junior
hop.
Miss Smithson was ''good fellow"
herself, and one of those who doesn't
care much, so the young man with the
steady nerve anticipated a good time.
Il waa the night before the hop. The
Young man was Out prscticing.

'Jnst up here little ways" she re-

ming about his nerve.
They went up an alley and-the girl
unlocked tbs kitchen door of house

He and the girl went inside and che
lit a lamp, and they sat there by the
sink, talking. The young man had just
asked her to marry him.

She saw the young man; he saw her.

A NIGHT ATTACK
Filipino Makes a Rush on the
American Lines.
Repulsed With a Loss of One
Killed and Four Wounded.

Manila, July 1-7:55 p. m.-The rebels
made a demonstration at San Fernando
last evening. They took advantage of
the darkness and ran to make a sally
against the north line, seemingly only
for the purpose of annoying the Amer
leans as they failed to push their at
tack The Americans loss was a private
of the Seventeenth regiment killed and
four wounded.
The firing began at 10 and the rebels
expended quantities of ammunition. All
the troops hastened to entrench in ex-
pectatiOn of a general attack. The Sew
enteenth regiment, the Twelfth regi-
ment and the Iowa regiment partici-
pated in the engagement, but did not
advance beyond the OutpOsts. After an
hour the Filipinos fired rockets, appar-
emily as a signal to cease firing, but
there were scattering shots all night
long which kept the Americans under
arms.
The eneTny's loss was not discOverable
but was probably small.
The Americans were guided in their
shooting only by flashes of the rebels

NO SURRENDER.
DR.. Gill Locks Himself In His
Office and Defes His Successor.

DR.. II. Z. Gill gave another exhibit
ton of his disposition today. When
Dr. w. B. Swan, the newly elected sec
retary Of the state board of health,
went to take charge of the department
this forenoon, DR.. Gill had the doors
locked. After a series of raps the doc
tor opened the door the space of a foot
and refused to admit DR.. Swan
DR.. Swan informed the doctor that
he had come to take possession of the
office whereupon DR.. Gill Immediately
informed him that he would not vacate.
After some desultory conversation DR..
Swan retired.
The executive council is considering
the advisa bility of establishing a new
office for DR.. Swan and ignoring DR..
DR.. Swan will be compelled to go into
court. He was accompanied by his
lawyer, J. A. TrOutman, today.
Charges have been preferred against
DR.. Gill but the board of health can
not hear them until the regular meeting
in September. DR.. Gill figures that he
can hold the office two months longer
at least.
Last night the stenographer in the
office left some pieces of paper on the
floor by her desk. 1t was the end
which she had torn off an envelope con-
tanning a letter received just as she
was leaving the office. The paper f1ut-
tered to the floor. When the janitor
was cleaning up the office DR.. Gill re-
quired him to leave the bits of paper
on the floor and this morning made the
of confidence to a janitor last night DR..
Gill said:

Miners Apply the Torch to I'm

says:
Union City, named from the fact that
it is occupied by union miners, was the
scene of a battle last night about mid
night, and as a result the town is in
ruins. The nOn-union negroes and 9th
er men employed by Brush at his mines
near Fredonia having become crazed
over the killing of the woman yesterday
went to the camp which consists of
mine houses and opened fire on them
which was at once returned. The bat
tie ragged until the union miners ran
from their homes and took refuge in
clump of timber, close to the village.
The nOn-union men at once applied the
torch to the houses and all were burn
ed to the ground
After the men had destroyed all pro-
perty previously occupied by the union
men, they moved on the woods and IN
til daylight the fusillade was kept uD
No lives so far have been reported lost
in the engagement at Union City. I'm
ion miners have been arriving at the
scene Of the trouble all night and the
outcome must be a long drawn out bat
tie. Both sides seem determined to
win.
