ror s SALARY tilt n.
The expected has happened. The
Populist a have come out in their true light
The Republicans told you io. The
boodlera are after their graft.
One of the last things dono by the
outgoing county court was to allow a bill
for (540 to Assessor Stout for back pay.
The Populists during the campaign made
a great cry about the money saved the
county by paying deputies out of the
salary of the office. That all the salaries
were too high and that the assessor should
work for a less salary than the law al
lowed. They wanted a leferendum vote
on a scale of salaries adopted at their
convention which was to be referred,
after passage by the legislature, to the
school election for ratification and they
bad more rot of the same kind to catch
votes.
The salary they thought best suited to
assessor was something like T-"0a day
and the assessor was evidently of the
same opinion as his bills per diem were
for about that figure.
This -was while the initiative was
being cultivated, while the voter was
being persuaded and before the referen
dum had passed on the graft. We also
believe that we heard out through the
country precincts the cry that "we
agreed to cut down the salary of the
county officials and our men are keeping
their promise."
Later when the ballots had been
counted and there was a shortage of the
salary graft ballots it became necessary
to recoup. The people had rejected the
assessor and there was not to be two
years more at the public crib. In fact
the assessor was tired of being a reformer
and a cutter of rates and that 40
loomed up like a new moon. lie said to
that same 540 "came to my jeans" and
it come.
There is nothing like having the last
referendum in the referendum business.
In the light of these thing it is well for
the Herald and Courier to fill their col
umns with bond and war tax editorials.

The editorial in the Enterprise of May
27th, reflecting on W. S. U'lten, and
stating in effect by quoting from an affi
davit of Mrs. Lewilling's that be had ad
mitted and confessed the truth of grave
charges against his integrity as a man
and public officer, was written and pub
lished by the campaign editor without
the knowledge or consent of the proprie
tor of the Enterprise. It was the inten
tion of the Enterprise only to comment
on charges made by Mrs. Lewelling and
J. D. Stevens, and if a different impres
eion has been given, the Enterprise
wishes to correct the same in justice to
Mr. U'Ken. While we differ from Mr.
U'Ken in politics, we shall endeavor to
do him justice in all matters. Mr.
U'Ren has located in our city for the
purpose of practicing law. The proprie
tor of the Enterprise as a brother attor
ney has nothing but the best wishes for
his success and believes tint he will gn
his share of business with the rest of
us.
According to the best reports obtain
able nothing like what was anticipated
has been found in the Klondike. A few
very rich mines are there but no new
ones discovered during the past winter.
If these reports are verified when the
first vessels come out, there will be suf'
tering in the country next winter as the
prospectors will be out of work as well
as out of food.
Sii.FrEits consideration for the non-
combatants in the doomed city is that of
the chivairic soldier. The spirit of his
muss.tgea to Toral transcend the mere
formality of notice of bombardment.
One loses all regret that the Fourth whs
lot illume the occasion for the triumphal

Ionian, i
Tim battlefield is a great leveler of
rank. Much has been said about the
rich and influential getting eaey berths
out of danger. But when we read the
account of Roosevelt's Rough Riders we
must recognize that these men, dudes of
New York, met the stern realities of war
equal to any class of men that ever faced
an enemy. This class of men, notably
Fibh, rich and surrounded by every
luxury, go into the army and share all
its hardships, perform every duty, even
menial labor, for what? That the flag
may still float and look larger, brighter,
richer to us on the glorious Fourth. A
Fourth that has been celebrated as no
other Fourth by the present generation.
With such examples we hope we Fhall
hear less about this "class distinction."
"We hear a good deal about the suffer
ing of the non-combatants in Santiago.
And siege as history tells us, has its hor
rors. But keener suffering and more
poignant misery is that of which we do
not hear the thirst and pain of hun
dreds of our wounded lying out in the
blazing tropic sun or drenched with the
falling rain. The agonies of the battle
field after the day is done have made
men sick of war who stood the carnage
without flinching. The seamy side of
war is not all with the vanquished."

A week ago a populist paper said:
"Joe Leiter has gained $5,000,000, within
the last few months ; who has paid it?"
Within the last few days Joe Leiter has
lost everything he gained and probably
$3,000,000 besides ; who got it ? Astorian.

txks, Friday, July I, 0" P. M., via Kings
ton, July 2, 11:30 P. M.-Ueneral
Shaffer's army has had Ha baptism of
tire. With desperate courage and mad
dash of the veterans, it haatomptcrod
tho Spanish works before Santiago, and
his force is driving the enemy into the
streets of the city. The victory was won
at a heavy cost in killed and wounded.
It is impossible to estimate the losses at
this writing, but it is believed they ap
proximate 500.
The Spanish loss must have been
heavy. The Spaniards opposing General
Lawton's division, lost in killed and
wounded, or prisonors, 2,000 men, and
the loss on the center and left must
have been double that number. Most
f our troops took possession during the
night, although General Bates' reserves
did not come up till morning. General
Lawton's division, on the extreme right,
supported by Captain Capron's battery j
General Kent's division, on the left, sup
ported by Grimes' battery planted on
the hill, formed a line which stretched
across the whole width of the basin iu
which Santiago lies, a distance of fully
five miles. Immediately in front of
Lawton lay Caney ,sur rounded by block
houses and entrenchments, and against
this position were the opposition's efforts
directed.
The Americans had the advantage of;
the sun in the morning, which shone in
the enemy's face. The engagement
opened when the fleet, lying outside the '
entrance to the liar1 or, begun dropping
shells into the Spanish earthwoiks. i
A few minutes before S o'clock Cup j
tain Grimes opened with his battery en 1
the heights to the riaht of the main re !
doubt, situated on the center of tho
Spanish line of entrenchments, directly
U'fore the city. The Spanish reply was
immediate, and wonderfully accurate.
The second'or thirl of their shells broke
over one of Captain Grimes' guns, kill
ing two men and wounding four. Both
Spanish and American batteries used
hrapnel. The next Spanish shell burst
juft beyond the battery and riddled the
sugar house behind which Colonel
Wood's rough riders were waiting for a
forward movement. It was from this
elevation that the English, German ami
Japanese military attaches viewed tho ,
engagement. !
Captain Grimes shells set for a range j
of 2S00 yard, slightly over-shot t he r
mark. It was difficult to locate the!
Spanish guns as they used smokeless !
powder and in this our first artillery duel j
had the worst of it. Up to this time!
there has been no infantry fire except on .
the extieme right where the Spaniards j
were being hard pressed by General j
Chaffee and General Lawton. j
About 8:30 o'clock the balloon was'
sent up in front of the cavalry division.
This drew the first volley from the :
Spanish entrenchments. Though volley '
followed volley, the daring officer made
his reconnoisance and got down safely, '
having obtained complete details of the
disposition of the enemy . j
The advance of the cavalry and Gen-'
eral Kent's division immediately began'
along the line of the main road to i-'uri-:
tiago. It was about two hours later In -fore
our advance began breaking through
the covering of the Spanish trenches, i
They met with a hail from the Mauser I
rifles which temporarily stayed the for-!
ward movement. The Spaniards had i
their range so close that the opjtysing1
lines could see the whites of each others
eyes. Captain Grimes then reoeii(-d '
with his battery and in the second j
duel with the Spanish artillery, did!
much better execution, planting shell
after shell in the first main redoubts and
silencing two Spanish guns. The Span-
J ibh gunners then turned their attention
to our infantry and began dropping
shells into the advance guard.
A few minutes after Clark's brigade
and the right of Kent's division made a
gallant charge to the north of the ex
treme left of the Spanish line and took
possession of a hacienda in the shelter
of an orange grove. This marked the
beginning of a magnificent charge
through the first line of entrenchments.!
The cavalry division and General I law -!
kins' brigade charged up the slojie
against a storm of death. It was in this j
awful charge that our men were so badly j
cut up and they started on a double
quick, but no troops could face such a
terrible fire without annihilation. Our
men staggered, throwing themselves
on the ground. Again they started,
again they prostrated themselves but on
and up they went until, with a cheer,
they sprang over the trenches dividing
the sides of the hill checkered with llieir
fallen comrades. There was hand toj
nana ugnung nere, in wwui an olieer
of the Twenty-fourth was macheted, but
the Spaniards could not resist the onset
of our troops and they scrambled out of
the trenches and broke over the line of a
knoll on which they were situated, j
Hundreds of the enemy lay dead orj
wounded In (ho trenches. The main re
doubt was then carried with a rush, and
two remaining batteries were then or
dered up, and with a rattle und clash
Captain Hates' battery went tearing up
the road, cumbered as It was with a
stream of wounded going lo the rear.
The buttery got In position to ttto right
of tho main Spanish redoubt at !t o'clock,
and at 3 :II0 Captain Hates sent the Ill's I
shell whiiulng down the line of the en
trenchments of the enemy. The Ameri
can advance line remained behind the
crest of the hill, until Captain Hat" had
driven terror Into the already beaten and
discouraged enemy. At this time our
fleet was also at work. Shortly before
this dispatch was written our hue ngitiu
moved forward, and the Spanish began
to retreat Into the town. The retreat
soon became a rout, and at 5 o'clock an
officer, just from the front, said that the
enemy was hopelesslv beaten.
Shutter's Hepiirt,
Wasiiinoton, July 1. Tho war de

General Shatter, dated at Sihonev :
"We have had an engagement today,
which lasted from 8 a. m until sun
down. We have carr ied their outwoik,
and are now lu possession of them.
There is now about three-quarters of a
mile of open between my lines and the

Protracted hunger means starvation, and starvation means death. When
the scalp is starved the hair dies at the roots. What's the matter with
your hair? It gets dry, harsh, brittle, dull of color, the ends split. You
wash it and brush it, but it still comes out. It's hungry I If washing and
brushing would stop starvation, then all the expense of a horse's keep
would be a sponge and a currycomb. Hunger needs bread, not a bath.

It supplies the requisite nourishment for the hair, and the hair grows.
It restores the tone of the scalp and bo induces the secretions of the fol
licles that the coloring matter is renewed and fading hair regains its
natural color, dandruff disappears, and the hair becomes thick and glossy.
Men and women whose abundant hair is the envy and admiration of
friends, admit that they owe it to Aycr's Hair Vigor.
u Last winter I discovered a bald spot on my head as larpe ai a silver dolhr. A few op
plications of Ayer's Hair Vigor started a healthy growth of hair, and in a short time the
disappearance of the bald spot was a suhject of wonderment to my friends and pleasure to
myself." A. M. ALLEN, No. 31 16 Locust St., St. Louis, Mo.
" I have used your Hair Vigor for a great many years and know of nothing equal to it
as a hair dressing and restorer. It has given satisfaction among my customers who speak
highly In its praise." A. E. FIELDS, liarber, No. 45 Princess St., Kingston, ().
" I am sixty-nine years old and have ued Ayer's Hair Vigor for fifteen years to prevent
my hair from turning gray. It is an excellent preparation for that purpose and I shall
always use it." JOHN HECIITMAN, Osseo, Minn.
' I find Ayer's Hair Vigor to be indispensable. My hair full out for five years, but a few
applications ol the Vigor topped it. It gave the hair a beautiful glossy appearance, and I
also found that It did not affect curling or crimping." M. E. SNYDEK, Urantford, Out.
