FOR FINAL
SUPREME EFFORT
On Thursday, At Ladysmith, They Were
Less Than A Mile From the British
Lines Cannonading Then Ceased
and Rille Fire Began Kimberley
Garrison Tired of Dodging Shells,
But as Determined as Ever.
Cai-k Town, Nov. 10. A dispatch
received from Pretorlu under date of
November 9 says reports received there
from Ladysmith said heavy cannonading
etarUid at daybreak ; that Rome of the
Boer farci'H wore within 1500 yards of the
liritiuli when cannonading eeaeed and
riilu lire commenced. A Pretoria dis
.patch announces that nil is quiet at
Matekingaud Kimberley.
Cavk Town, Nov. 10. An undated die
patch from Kimberley by a Kaffir runner
via MrtRalnapye, November 8, BiiyB:
"Today nil 1b quiet. We have been
bombarded heavily all week. Friday
night Captain Fitz-Glarence and Lieu
tenant Swinburne, with one squadron of
the protectorate regiment, made n mag
nificent bayonet .charge upon the Boers'
inttenchments, driving them from their
positions and bayoneting a number of
lioore, who must have loet very heavily.
The cimrce was most gallant and de
termined. The party could not hold the
trauches and lost six men killed, two
prisoner! aud nine wounded in their re
Ptreuient. The wounded includes Cap
tutii FiU-Olnretice and Lieutenant
Swinburne.
"in a skirmish at the outpotts yester
day one trooper wiib killed und nine
wounded. We expect a general attack
tomorrow. The bombardment has been
moet ineffectual, everyone remaining
under a ehell-proof cover. The town is
cheerful and determined to resist to the
utmost. The Doers are entrenched on
every side in great numbers mid are
pushing gradually closer and closer to
the town fortifications. We nro well off
for provisions and water; though tired of
dodginc shells and lighting."
London, Nov. 15. If the news con
tained in tho Pretoria dispatch of No
vember 9 by way of Cape Town, Novem
ber 10, is correct, and there is every rea
eon to believe it is accurate, as Boer dis
patches have almost invnribly hitherto
rendered fairly accurate accounts, it is
claimed here that it implies a general as
eault on Ladysmith was pending when
Joubert'e report was sent off. Attentiou
is called to the fact that he date, No
vember 0, is assumed to be the date of
General White's last plceon post message,
announcing a renewal of the bombard
ment, einco which nothing lias been
received except rumors from Estcoart
tuut the bombardment was suspended
November 10,
It is claimed that if tho Boers got their
forces within 1500 yards of the British
position it allows they fully realized the
necessity of utilizing the brief interval
before the arrival of British reinforce
ments to make n determined attempt to
elorm White's position. To successfully
advanca eo close to Ladysmith, it is
pointed out, the Boers must have been
moat active in Intrenching, and the
nearest o( tho beeelging lines, it is added,
indicates their readiness for the assault
which there has been a disposition in
military circles to believe the Boers were
not willing to undertake.
Killed By a Live Wire.
8ALKU, Or.,Nov. 13, Arebie McKillop,
the ia-year-olU aon of Rev. Ronald Mc
Killop, pastor of the Baptist church in
tula city, was killed by a live electric
wire about 5 o'clock this evening. He
was playing in an alley in the resr of his
home, when he concluded to climb a
pole enpportlng. the wire which is
stretched through the alley at a height
of twenty-five feet. Reaching the top,
he caught hold of the wire, and also a
dead one, which completed the circuit,
and he received n shock of about 2080
volte, killing him instantly. His hands
were burned to the bones.
Ed. Lamport, living just across the
alley, saw the boy fall and hurried to
him. The boy was groaning as Lamport
picked him up to carry him to his home,
but life was extinct in a short time
thereafter.

St. JosEni, Mo., Nov. 15. The town
Lof Troy, Kansas, ten miles west of here
was wiped out by Are this morning. The

mittee. Seven business bouses were con
sumed. Three fire companies went from
here by special train and assisted in sav
ing much property. Leland's store es
caped with slight damage, and the
damage to the other buildings will it is
thought, not exceed $50,000.

SETTLEMENT
OF SUGAR FIGHT
Report Is Current in Wall Street That
American Company May Soon
Absorb All Competitors.
New York, Nov. 15. The Times says
According to some Wall street reports,
the war between the sugar-refining com
panios is very near a settlement, and
that in rather an extraordinary way. It
is said, in fact, that a consolidation of
all the eugar re6ning companies of the
country is shortly to be brought about,
and that the American company has the
project in charge. While it is impossible
to get any verification of the report, it is
regarded as signiGcant that in spite of
the present war, which is supposed by
the public to be costing the refining com
panies a small fortune by reason of losses,
the sugar stocks have been strong and at
any recession have been bought by
insiders.
But whether this consolidation talk is
or is not without foundation, it eeems to
be generally accepted that an agreement
between the warring companies has
practically been reached, the terms of
which may be announced at any time.
There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all otbe diseases put
together, and until the last few years
was supposed to be incurable. For a
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 constitution 1 disease, and there
fore requires constitutional treatment.
Hall's Catarrah Cure, manufactured by
F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the
only constitutional cure on the market.
It is taken internally in doses from ten
drops to a teasDoonful. It acts directly
on tne o.ood and mucous sur:aces ot tne
system. Thev offer one hundred dollars
lor any case it fai,s to cure. Send for
circulars and testimonials. Address,

Senator Hayward 111.
Omaha, Nov. 14. Late this evening
word was received from Nebraska Ci'y
which indicate that Senator Hayward is
in a' most precarious condition, and that
bis deiith is to be expected at any time.
A consultation of physicians was held,
Dr. Bridges being summoned fiom
Omaha for the purpose. At the close of
the consultation it was given out that
the physicians could hold out no hope
whatever of the senator's permanent re
covery, and very little, if any, of a tem
porary improvement in his condition.
There is.no regular session of the leg
islature this winter, and in case of death
the governor would appoint a successor.
It is universally conceded that in this
event, Governor Poynter would name
ex-Senator Allen.
