ROYAL DAKING POWDER CO.. NCW YORK.
London, Nov 2. The war office this
afternoon posted the following dispatch:
"Ladvbmitii, Nov. 2. Lieutenant
Edgerton, II. M. S. Powerful, was
dangerously wounded this morning by a
shell, in the left knee und right foot.
Uia life is not in danger at present."
It was inferred from this dispatch that
the artillery duel between the Boers and
British continues, as Edgerton was a
gunnery lieutenant witli the big nuval
gune.
London, Nov. 2. The war offico of
ficially declares it has no information of
any further engagement at Ladysmitli
or of a British victory, as reported in
New York.
The war office received a telegram, dis
patched irom LanyBinitu at 11 a. in.
today, eaying General White was well
and holding his position.
A special dispatch from Ladysmitli
eaya twenty Britisli dead and 100
wounded have been counted on the scene
of Monday's disaster, while 830 prisoners
were sent tp Pretoria,
Another list of casualties at Dundee
was issued by the war office today. It
gives eighty-two noncommissioned of
licora and men of the Dublin fusiliers
missiug, indicating that the Boers
captured as uiuny fusiliers as they did
hussars.
On Western Border.
Caib Town, Nov. 2. It ie neserted
8000 Boers have collected at the Bethulee
bridge, under Field Cornet Dutuit; the
Orange river is in full flood, and fording
is reported to bo impossible.
Boers in Zululand.
PiKTKUMAniTziitmo, Natal, Nov. !
It is reorted the Boers are occupying
parts of Zululand, and they have taken
Poiuoroy, fifty miles from Greytown.
Important Hallway Bridge.
I-onimj.v, Nov. 2. The brevity of news
from Ladysmitli since Tuesday night has
not relieved the anxiety prevailing re
garding the position of the British army
in Iadyamltli. The war office has no
information of Gonerul Butler's having
left Capo Town.
Colenso, in the rear of White's force,
ia believed to be well defended by a com
posite naval und military corps, and it
is understood two naval 12-poundera
mounted near the bridge over Tugela,
one of the most vulnerable points along
the railroad from Ludysmith to Pleter
nuriuburg, ought to be able to defend
it and prevent its destruction.
If the Boers succeed in destroying this
bridge, it would menu Interruption of
railroad communication with Ladysmitli
lor an indefinite period, While the Boer
attempts iu this direction are not con
firmed, It la claimed they may. be ex
pected momentarily, and the reported
steady shelling of Ladysmitli, it is added,
points to the intentions of the Boer com
manders to keep White occupied, while
their strategy is carried out.
During the winter of 1897 Mr. James
Reed, one of the leading citizens and
merchants of Clay, Clay Co., W. Va.,
struck his !eg against 11 cake of ice in
such a manner as to bruise it severely.
It became very much swollen and pained
him bo badly that ho could not walk
without the aid of crutchee. He was
treated by physicians, also nsed several
kinds of liniment and two end a half
gallons of whiskey in bathing it, but
nothing gave any relief until he began
using Ctiumberlain's Pain Balm. This
brought almost a complete cure in a
week's time and he believes that had he
not used this remedy his leg would have
had to be amputated. Pain Balm is un
equaled for sprains, bruises and rheu
matism. For eale by Blakeley & Hough

More Smallpox in Salem.
S.w.em, Nov. 2. Salem is greatly ex
cited over to new smallpox caEes dis
covered last evening. Botli cases came
from Albany within the paet few days
and have renewed the scare which had
subsided with the suppression of the
dreaded disease. One of the alllicted
persons is a child of Mrs. D. B. Perkins.
Both mother and child have been taken
to the Mueeer residence, where the lirst
cases of smallpox were confined.
An infected family named Woods came
from Albany a few days ago, and now
reside just north of Salem. This family
has been quarantined. The Salem school
board is considering the question of
closing the public schools.

HOBART HAS
WITHDRAWN
AM Republicans Must Find Another
Caillate for Vice-President.
ROOT AND
GRANT MENTIONED
If Grant Be Lucky in War He May Be
the Favored One, Otherwise Root
Will Probably Be the Man.
New Yokk, Nov. 2. A special to the
Herald from Washington save: Vice
Piesident Hobart's announcement,
through members of his family, of his
retiremeent from public life will make
it necessary for the Republican national
convention to choose another running
mate for President McKinley, should
the president be renominated next year.
It will alBo necessitate the choice of a
president pro tern for the senate, to
preside over its deliberations until a
new vice-president takes office.
Republican politicians are practically
agreed that Mr. Hobart's successor on
the Republican ticket next year must
come from New York state. Senator
Piatt was in this city today, and it is
understood that candidates were dis
cussed. If Governor Roosevelt had not
so clearly iudicated his disinclination to
accept the second place on the ticket,
he would be an important factor in the
speculations as to the candidates.
His nomination is regarded, howover,
as being practically out of the question,
and. the two men moet discussed are
Secretary Root and General Frederick
Grant. Which one oi them receives tiie
Republican uoininatio'i may depend
upon the fortunes of war in the Philip
pine?. There are men who have served
witli General Grant since his appoint
ment to the army who believe that he
has inherited to a great degree the
military genius of his father and that all
he needs is an opportunity. He has not,
thus tar, had a chance to show whether
these opinions are well founded, but if
he should command the troops in some
brilliant action against the Filipinos, or
perhaps direct the final movement in
overwhelming the insurrection, there is
little doubt that he would be the man
selected.
Should this opportunity not come to
General Grant and should the Philippine
war end successfully within the next few
months, the nomination would probably
be given to Secretary Root.
OntholOthof December, 1897, Rev.
S. A. Donahoo, pastor M. E. Church,
South, Pt. Pleaant, W. Va., contracted
a severe cold which was alteuded from
the beginning by violent coughing. He
eaya: "After resorting to a number of
so called 'specifics,' usually kept in the
house, to no purpose, I purchased
bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
which acted like a charm. I most cheer
fully recommend it to the public." For
