The steamship America Maru. which
arrived yesterday from the orient
brought advices from Ceram and re.
ports that 5000 people were destroyed
on that island alone when the dread.
full earthquake of November shocked
the Japan coast and agitated lands ad-
jacent to the empire.
On the night of the 2nd. the people
of Ceram were awakened by a terrific
shock of earthquake that seemed to
work from north to south. Everyone
fled from their houses and took up
places in the public square. A few
hours later it was reported that the
water was rising in the bay of Am
bonia. The sea same forward in the
shape of a huge tidal wave and forced
the water into the bay entrance. 1t

the wave swept over the tops of trees
feet high. Out of nearly 1900 inhab-
itants only 40 escaped. The whole
coast for miles was transformed into
a huge mud-puddle. Corpses were ev,
erywhere. Broken trees and portions
of houses were buried in the ooze. Ev-

stones and boulders that had been
washed up from the sea, changing the
entire topography of the country. The
exact number of killed along the coast
will never be known, as the corpses in
many cases are yards under new
ground. At Hatoesia, out of 500 persons
100 were killed and 40 injured. The
balance escaped to the hills, where the
shock of the earthquakes were first
felt.

THE BILL.
House of Representatives Will Hold
Night Sessions.

Washington, Dec. 12.-There is such
great pressure for time on the part of
members of both sides who desire TO
participate in the currency debate in
the house that three night sessions
were ordered today. Interest in the
debate is not keen, judged by the at
tendance in the galleries although the
members themselves are listening at
tentively to the speeches. Only one
democrat thus far has spoken in favor
Of the bill-Driggs of New York, who
announced today he had pledged him
self before election to support the gold
standard, and proposed to redeem that
pledge. He will be Joined by several of
his Brooklyn colleagues and probably
several others. The features Of the de-
bate today were speeches by Grosvenor
of Ohio for the bill, and of Cochran of
Missouri and Newlands of Nevada
against it. The other speakers were
Messrs. Parker of New Jersey, VILLAIN
Alden Smith Of Michigan, Prince Of
Illinois, Lawrence of Massachusetts
and Powers of Vermont for the bill,
and Shafroth of Colorado and Sims Of
Tennessee against the bill.

CELEBRATED DAM CASE

Denver, Dec. IA special from Las
Cruces, N. NJ, says the trial of the eel
ebrated Elephant Butte Dam COM
pany's case began before Judge Parker
in the United States district court to-
day. The question involved is whether
or not the proposed irrigation dam
would interfere with the navigation OF
the lower Rio Grande. An English
company. which proposes to build the
dam, claims the Rio Grande is not nav
igable. The evidence introduced to-
day was to the effect that, through pri-
or to 1896 boats Of heavy tonnage ran
as far up the river as Carmargo, Mexi-
CO, the river became so shallow that
only one boat Of 100 tons Is now operat.
ed. 1t was held by all witnesses the
proposed dam would make navigation
impossible.

A SURE CURE FOR GROUP.
Twenty-Five Years Constant Use With
out a Failure.

The first indication Of Group is
hoarseness, and In a child subject to
that disease 1T may be taken as a sure
sign Of the approach Of an attack.
Following this hoarseness is a pecul-
lar rough cough. If Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy is given as soon as the
child becomes hoarse, or even after
the croupy cough appears, 1t will pre-
vent the attack. 1t is used in many
thousands Of homes in this broad land
and never disappoints the anxious
mothers. We have yet to learn OF a
single instance in which 1t mas not
ton can show such a record-twenty-
five years constant use without a fail

FELL IN HONEST HANDS.
A Lost Purse Containing a Snug Sum
Returned to It's Owner.

There is more pleasure than the bar,
receiving of pay for advertising to 8
newspaper in doing business. 1t is q
source of genuine qualification tC
know hat the patrons of the paper are
receiving returns for the money ex-
pended in advertising and that sub
scribers are pleased with their paper.
The Republican has been commended
on many occasions for the quick re
turns brought to advertisers. Not only
is this true with regard to small ads.
but merchants and large advertisers
have repeatedly expressed satisfaction
with the results obtained from their
investments in printers ink. But it
was not the intent of this item to COM
ment entirely on the worth of adver-
Using or to claim entire credit for the
result obtained by a small ad inserted
in The Republican on Saturday and
Monday evenings, for without the aid
of an honest woman it would have
availeth naught.
A young lady who was visiting in the
city last week attended the Schubert
concert at Manager Opera house last
Friday evening in company with II few
friends and had the misfortune to drop
her purse, which contained a consider
able sum of money, but did not miss it
just at the time. Fortunately, how
ever, the purse was picked up by Mrs.
E. A. Brautigan, who, on reading the
ad in The Republican, at once returned
it to this office. This Is the kind of
people We have in Laramie.
While we are speaking of the effects
of advertising it might not be amiss to
note a very few of the many instances
where benefits are directly chargeable
to advertising which have recently
come to notice. A gentleman called at
this Office and ordered out a standing
ad for furnished rooms because |
have had so many calls for rooms and
have none to supply and people kick
because | am advertising them when
L hdNth y Sol IhCIh. "a ldus LlS
ed a bicycle for sale and in twenty min,
utes after the paper was out had sold
her wheel, and stated that any time
The Republican wanted a reference to
call on her. A gentleman also adver-
tised a wheel for sale and instructed
that an ad be inserted for him in four
issues. After the first issue he stop
per the ad, saying he had more GUS
toners than wheels. Another gentle
man advertised for a stray horse and
In half an hour after the paper was out
he knew where his horse was. Still
another nan advertised in the Weekly
Republican for a stray team, offering a
large reward as his horses were un,
branded, and his team came back so
sweat. And as has been before stated
in these columns, a woman advertised
for a stolen cat, and the cat came
back"
The secret Of The Republicans Sue
cess in the advertising line is the fact
that 1t reaches the reading public, and
the cases cited above are only a very
few OF many which could be mentioned
where advertisers have received returns
for their money, and while only small
ads have been mentioned the same is
true with regard to the large ads Of
merchants, and it is with a feeling Of
pride that The Republican has received
many of these compliments and even
more substantial encouragement which

A MAYOR
Elected in Boston, and General Sue
cess in Other Bean Centers.

Boston, Dec. 12.-After a spirited
campaign the republicans won a VIC
tory in the municipal election today,
Thomas N. Hart defeating ex-Con-
gresham Patrick A. Collins, the dem
ocratic nominee for mayor, by 1904
votes. The democrats, however, still
control both branches of the city gov
eminent, the board of aldermen by q
somewhat increased majority.
The republicans generally were sue
cessful in the city elections today.
Only in Newburyport did the socialists
make a strong showing. In Lynne and
Woburn, ordinarily strong democratic
strongholds, the republicans scored
signal victories.

London, Dec. 13.-From Ladysmith
ings. The beleagured garrison is evil
IDENTIFY not satisfied with holding its
own and awaiting the arrival of the
relief column, as the gallant troops
again have executed a brilliant and
dashing sortie and surprise upon the
Boer lines. A hill on which a 4.7-inch
howitzer has been mounted was carried
on Monday night by the second battal-
ion of the rife brigade and the how
itzer destroyed by guncotton. On its
retreat the British force found that the
Beers had closed in upon hem, but by
using the bayonet they went through
them, causing heavy loss and sustain
ing but slight damage to themselves.
The effect of this second eminently
successful attempt to destroy the heavy
guns commanding the besieged city at
strategic points is bound to be great.
There have not been wanting signs that
the Beers regard Ladysmith as a very
hard nut to crack, perhaps too hard for
them. Then General Buffers concen-
tration at Frere has undoubtedly caus,
ed a drawing OF of some of the besieg-
ing Commands. These swift and heavy
strokes dealt by General Whites sud-
| den assault and destruction of guns,
and the successful wttbdrswal Of Brit
ish troops to the camp, must go far to
convince the Beers that they have no,
accomplished much toward compelling
the towns surrender.
There is still no news from General
Buffers advance, but General Methu-
ems horse have reconnoitered the Col
enso railway bridge. which is COM
pletely destroyed, but the road bridge
is still standing. Although there is a
Cape Town rumor that fighting was
proceeding all day Monday in the di-
rection of Modder river, the people are
still without further definite news Of
Lord Methuen's advance. He is on
fronted by a very powerful Boer force,
the defeat of which must tax the ener-
gies of his column to the utmost. He
is also in some danger from Boer at
lacks upon his right flank and his line
OF communication.
1t is now certain hat the forces
which he %dislodged from their posi-
lions at Belmont and Modder river
are by no means shattered in morale.
