LADYSAIlH IS SILENT NON
NO RESPONSE TO BOER GUNS.
The German Artillerymen Arrive
Beers Think Ladysmith VIII Fall
This Week-A Severe storm-NataI
In Perplexing Position.

Pretoria, Nov. 26.-An official dispatch
from the Boer head laager outside of
Ladysmith says:
THE garrison at Ladysmith was strange
ly quiet yesterday. The cannonade today
hardly evoked response. The balloon no
longer scars. The third big cannon, which
the Beers have baptized 'Suzerainty,' was
placed in position today. The German Of
ficers arrived last night.
'The Boer general thinks they will en-
compass the fall of Ladysmith at the end
of this week.
"There was terrific thunder storm last
night Four Beers guarding cannon
were seriously struck"
London, Nov. 26.-The position in Ma
tai remains full of perplexities. which the
censorship has increased. Although di-
vision and a half have now reached Dur
ban, that place is practically powerless,
unsuppled with cavalry and artillery, and
until these arrive the situation, will un-
doubtedly remain grave. With three be-
leagured garrisons in Natal besides KIM
berly and Mafeking, and no signs of sue
cor in the immediate future, it is no Won
der that the outlook is regarded as dis
tinctly gloomy, and that the most possible
is made of General Methuens success,
such as it was. That battle decided moth
ing, and it seems certain that many ex-
perts are of the opinion that the story
of the return of the pursuing cavalry
without getting in touch with the retreat
ing Beers indicates that the cavalry dis
covered in time that if it had gone on
, it would have soon been on the Pretoria
race course with its comrades of the Hus-
, sars. 1t will not surprise anyone greatly
/ if the Beers are shortly again discovered
: in an entrenched position near the spot
l from which General Methuen has just
| evicted them.
2 From no other point can even SEM
: blance of success be reported. Mafekne
appears in worse plight than the British
' have hitherto cared to admit.

A Foul Murder.

Spokane, Nov. ga most foul murder
was committed short time ago at
lonely spot two miles west of the army
post, where a little trail, leading to Fort
Wright from few scattered houses, winds
through barren patches of ground. The
evidences of the tragedy were discovered
Saturday and go to show that the murder
was not only deliberately planned, but
also that the assassin dragged the body,
probably still alive, a quarter OF mile
over stony ground and then sought to
hide the evidence of his crime by hastily
digging shallow grave in which the
remains were laid and covered over with
two feet of earth.
August Zaspel was the victim. William
Frank, known as Cray Bill, the Butch
err" is the suspected perpetrator OF the
horrible deed. The body was exhumed
Immediately and now lies in the under
taking parlors pending an inquest. Frank
was arrested and is confined in the county
Jail. Jealousy is the supposed cause OF
the crime.

Washington, Nov. 2s.-The United
States has declined to accept the agree
ment as to the disposition of the Samoan
islands, which was reached by Great Brit
ain and Germany. The reasons which in
fuenced the state department here in re-

related entirely to minor matters. At the
instance of the other parties concerned the
United States prepared and submitted a
draft of a treaty which it is hoped will be
acceptable to all three powers.

wrong. We made no attempt to be-

drew its attention to the fact that
the Hazleton papers were at variance

the Standard has presented no facts
to show that its contention is the cor
rect one. The HERALD, in unison

run of the New York Yacht club yes

TO GARDENERS bay, was one of the most
successful in the clubs history. Not
only was the day an ideal one, with

which held through from the start to
finish. but the club watched with pride
the magnificent run of the new queen
of the fleet, Columbia, which fairly dis
tanced every other yacht with the ex-
ception of Defender and she, too, was
defeated by 4 minutes and 10 seconds
In a 80 mile race.
The old cup defender Vigllant was
beaten by the two flyers nearly an
hour. but much of this was no doubt
due to the fortunate run of Columbia
and Defender along the Fishers ISL
and shore, while the rest of the fleet
kept over on the other side of the
sound. The Amorita was In the
schooner class.
Over so yachts crossed the line at
New London and r'early all finished In
GARDENERS bay, although some of them
did not get In until toward night.
BY far the greatest event of the day
was the magnificent seven miles run
of Columbia from Fishers Island to
Great Gull Island, during which she
averaged close to 1S knot gait.

Give the Credit Due.

An enthusiastic welcome has
greeted the Pennsylvania regiment,
just returned from the Philippines,
as it paraded through the streets Of
San Francisco, saws the St. Louis
Globe-Democrat. 1.-The Pennsyl-
vanians are a sturdy-looking lot, -
says a dispatch, and their spick and
span appearance commanded great
attention" Three volunteer regi-
ments from Manila have reached San
Francisco to be mustered out The
Oregon regiment brought back over
1000 men. The Nebraskans report a
total loss of sixty-two men.
The Pennsylvanians lost an aggre-
gate of only twenty-four men. Here
are three regiments which after a
years service, largely on the firing
line in Luzon and in the trenches, re-
turn to their homes with a combined
mortality OF less than 13O. All saw
more or less hard fighting and march
ing. 1t was the Pennsylvanians who
stood the brunt of Spanish night
sortie during a storm. The Nebras
kans and Oregonians were in the
thick Of the engagements reaching
from Manila to Nalolos and San
Fernando, and passed through sew
eral ugly ambuscades. But they are
back home looking we'll and with
ranks but little reduced when com
parison is made with former wars.
In the face of figures so significant
it is useless to say that these regi-
ments have not been intelligently
handled and we'll cared for. They
are healthy, make fine appearance
on parade and their mortality list is
small. They have worked steadily,
fought bravely and seen some hard
ships, but all thisfs in the Hne Of a
soldiers duty. Those who do not
count upon such an experience should
not enter the service Many a regi-
ment in the civil war returned with
less than 200 men. The regular army
in that struggle was literally shot out
of existence.
When the ''yellown interviewers
circulate in these returning regiments
to collect material to back up the
claim that the war is a failure the
men in the ranks might well point to
their long line to show how well their
comfort and health has been guarded,
securing them the vantage ground in
fighting and preserved them from

Consumption Cured.

BROUGHT BACK FROM THE GRAVE.
Last November Mr.. Joseph James,
painter, of 325 w. Pearl St., Indianapo-
lis, Ind, was at DEATHS door with quick
consumption. Wasted to skeleton;
his lungs mass of liberation; his
death was hourly awaited by his doctor
and family. He was kept in constant
stupor with opium. A friend, thinking
to relieve his terrible cough, gave him
bottle of Brazilian Balm. Seeing its
wonderful effect, the doctor advised its
continued use. Mr.. James soon after
dismissed his doctor, and depended
on the Balm alone. His recovery was
rapid and complete, and in February he
returned to work. His lungs are sound,
and his weight greater than at any time
in his life. His recovery is regarded as
almost a miracle

MANY persons question whether the
enormous advertisements put forth
by the big department stores in large
cities really pay their cost. If re-
turns are to be measured by actual
sales of goods advertised, it may safely
be stated that such advertisements
rarely pay. Their purpose is to bring
people into the store, where other
goods displayed and skillful statesmen
will do the rest. The item which
brought the customer to the store
may be only a spool of thread or a
cake of soap at half price, but the
chances are against the customer
leaving the store without making
other purchases. The same principle
applies to mail-order advertising
The profits from the direct sales of
the goods advertised in any adver-
tisement seldom pay its cost. The
profit must come from subsequent
sales, and this depends upon skillful
following up of the inquiry the ad-
vertisement brings.
