MAY PROVE
DECISIVE BATTLE
Report From Holland That the British
Have Surrendered is Not Con
firmed Boers' films Silcnccd'but
Burghers Started on the Advance
Undismayed and Undaunted.
Laiiyhmitu, Oct. .'10. 11 :50 a. m. Fir
ing commenced nt 5 u. in. this morning,
tliu Bnurs shelling LadvBmith with 40
pounders. After seven shotf, tiie
British gunners succeeded in silencing
the Bour force. A force is now advanc
ing on tlio IJritish left flunk.
Bkumn, Oct, 30. A report tins been
received from Holland Baying; the whole
British army at Luly emit li has surren
dered mid the troope are now prisoners.
London, Oct 110. A dispatch to the
Associated Preen from Ladysmith this
morning, which was eent r.t exp-ess
rateH, came through in the remarkable
time of two hours.
A dispatch from the Durban Times at
9:05 this morning supplements the As
sociated Press dispatch with the infer
ination that the Hours' shells wore
chiefly directed at the station and that
no damage was done up to the time the
message ifotn Durban was forwarded;
that the heavy guns of the Boers, from
which so much waa expoctod, should
be silenced t-u speedily as indicated in
the Aseeeiuted Press dispatch from
Ladysuiith is a mntter of great surprise,
but tlio subsequent advance cf the
burgher force on the British left flank
hIiows the attackers wero;inno way dis
mayed thereby, and wore still full of
Eolf-conlidence and the daring they have
exhibited on various occasions.
Apparently the Iloers have concen
trated for a supreme effort atLiulysmith.
They have withdrawn their forcuB from
other points, which they consider mo
mentarily to he of less importance.
The perseverance the Boors have
shown in transporting heavy ordnance
and posting it in eommnndini: positions
has forced admiration even from their
enemies, UiiIchb tlio present attack is
merely a feint to occupy tiie British
M's fiood Blessing
" I feci that God hns blessed Dr. Acker with special knowledge to prepare
that Brand medicine- called Acker" n English Remedy for Throat and Lung
Troubles. It saver, children every tlmo when thoy are attacked by croup.
Every mother should know ubuut
it, and I will toll about my expo
rience. I had a darling boy of four
years to die with croup. My doctor
did all ho could, but the child
could not bo made lo vomit. That
was before-1 know of Acker's Eng-'
lish Remedy. After I did hear of
it, I got a bottle. When our littlo
eighteen months -old gill waa
ntricken with croup, I gavo her
thismodicino, and insidcof twenty
minutes slio vomited and was bet
ter right away. During tlio win
ter she had croup four times, and
it brought her through each time
nil right. I, myself, had bronchitis
pretty bad, and Acker's English
Remedy cured me completely.
Before I close, I want to tell you
of my neighbor's boy, named Jobo Nana. Ho had bronchitis, too. Ho got
worse all the time. My husband went over to Ids house and told him about my
case. Then his mother wont to town, got a so-cont bottlo of Acker's English
Remedy, and lie took it. He came over to our houso a few days later aud said he
was all right, and also said two doses relieved him from the start. You can un
derstand by my lotter why I think so much of Acker's English Remedy. I re
peat that God's blessing must surely have been bestowed upon Dr. Acker."

while tiie invaders are cutting off from
tiie southward, the battle which opened
tliis morning may decide the isMie of
the war so far hh fighting in the open is
concerned, as, unless the 18,000 or 20,
000 Boers about Ladyemith are ahlo to
destroy 12,000 British, they can hardly
hope to cope with General Butler's army
corps. 60 it may be expected the Boers
will return to ttie attack of Ladysmith
it they were beaten off to long, as they
must be fully cognisant thut news of
their success will bring , thousands of
sympathizers and adventurers to their
Btandard.
Active operations the last few days
have shown the cavalry , tinder modern
conditions, armed with long-range
weapons in an entirely now light, prov
ing them able to work aB infantry both
alone and in conjunction with foot
sjldiers.

fired at short ranite, the ball taking
effect squarely in the left shoulder and
badly (shattering it. Gilbertson is a poor

COMMISSION TO
BE APPOINTED
To Investigate Commercial China At
Least President McKinley Will
Ask for an Appropriation for Sue!
a Purpose.
New Yoiik, Oct. 30. A special to the
Herald from Washington says: Presi
dent McKinley is expected to renew in
his forthcoming message ids rccommen
nation that an appropriation be made
for a commission to investigate the com
mercial aud industrial condition of the
Chinese empire.
No radical change in the policy of the
United States, with respect to China is
contemplated by the president, bat it is
proposed to safeguard American inter
ests in everv wav. No discrimination
treatment of American citizensor Amer
ican trade will be permitt'd for an in
stant, and undoubtedly the inaugura
tion of the exclusion policy on the part
ot the foreign governments possessing
spheres of influence in China will be
bitterly opposed by this government
However, such a contingency as the
latter is not expected.
As soon as the insurrection is quelled
it iB the intention of the department
unless future developments Ehonld arise
to withdraw the larger ships, though the
two monitors, Monadnock and Monterey,
will remain at Manila as a naval guard
for that citv.
During the winter of 1897 Mr. James
Heed, one of the leading citizens and
merchants of Clay, Clay Co., W. Va.,
struck his leg asnuin a cake of ice in
such a manner aB to bruise it severely
It became very much swollen and pained
him eo badly that he could not walk
without the aid of crutches. He was
treated by physicians, also used eevera!
kinds of liniment and two rnd a half
gallons of whiskey in bathing it, but
nothing gave any relief until he began
using Chamberlain's Pain Balm. This
brought almost a complete cure in
week's time and he believes that had he
not used this remedy his leg would have
had to bo amputated. Pain Balm is un
equaled for sprains, bruises and rheu
matism. 1-or sale by Blakeley & Hough

There is more Catarrli in this section
of the country than all othe diseases put

was supposed to be incurable. For
great many years doctors pronounced it
a local disease, and prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced
it incurable. Science lias proyen catarrh
tobe a constitutional diceae, and there

Townscnd Not Guilty.
Pendleton, Oct. 29, The jury in the
Tim Townsend murder case returned a
vordict today of not guilty. They had
been out twenty four hours. Although
it was admitted that ToVnEtmd killed
William Hale, shooting him with a
Winchester rifle, the verdict 0' acquit
tl waa apparently based upon tiie claim
made by the defense tiiat Hale was on
the point of killing Tom Tuttle, Town
Bend's friend, and therefoie in the act
of committing a felony In a dwelling-
house, in which case the law excuses
killing.

FAIRHAVEN CAN-
NERY BURNED
All
Macbinciy and Stock, Including
Fifteen Thousand Cases of Canned
Salmon, Went Up in Smoke.
Faikhavek, Wash., O.it. 30. The Ab
emeen backing Company's cannery
burned this mornins nt 1 o'clock. The
loss is estimated at $150,000. The can
nery and contents were insured for
$70,000, $20,000 of which was on the
buildingj. There were 15,000 cases of
canned salmon in the building, verv
little of which will be saved. A million
and a half of labele, 12,003 empty boxes,
$2000 worth of lacquer, 5000 cases of
empty cans and other cannery material
were burned.
The machinery waa the best of its
kind, and included a canmaking outfit.
Out of the $15,000 worth, only the boil
ers and retorts will be worth anything.
The rest is warped and destroyed. The
cannery was 205 feet long and 185 feet
wide, and this year the product put up
was 70.000 cases.
The fire originated from an explosion,
probably in the lacquer room, and in a
few minutes the building was all in
flames. There was no wind, and the
weather was damp and foggv, otherwise
the entire water front would have
burned. The Fairhaven Canning Co's.
storehouse, near by, was partly burned,
and part of the $40,000 worth of sockeye
salmon in it damaged, but it is fully
covered bv insurance.
