See’the devil in Faust tonight.

This office is in receipt of a handsome little pamphlet entitled “The American’s Cup,” and giving the pictures and description of the various yachts which have won the international cup series since 1851. The book was presented by Mr. C. L. Ayers, who represents the John Hancock Life Insurance Company, of Boston, Mass., and is an interesting and valuable souvenir. In McClures magazine of November, Mr. A. H. Ford, who has lately returned from China, will describe the miracle in railroad construction that Russia is working in completing the Chinese Eastern the last section of her great trans-continental line; and tell of the invaluable service rendered her by American invention, skill and enterprise. The article will be fully illustrated by photographs secured by the author while in his journey. Right in it. That’s where Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin is. The greatest remedy for the stomach that was ever put together. Absolutely vegetable with the exception of the pepsin. Are you constipated ? Then try Syrup Pepsin. Have you indigestion or sick headache? Then use Syrup Pepsin. Spend 10c for a trial bottle and you will be convinced. Large sizes 50c and SI.OO. A true family remedy. At Holthouse, Callow & Co. o The g“New Lippincott” has been fortunate in its last three complete novels, and the fourth of the new series, called “The Livery of Honor,” by Mark Lee Luther, is a surprising performance from a new pen. Mr. Luther has hitherto been known only by a few striking short stories, His first novel is a rattling tale in the vein of “Richard Carvel,” and of the same times, but it was written long before, and has its own tender and romantic elements of interest.

According to the calculations of astronomers the night of November 14th will be one of the most remarkable of the century which is about to draw to a close. On that night millions of stars or meteors will fall from their places and shoot through space. These meteors will weigh from a few ounces to many pounds, and will begin to burn at a heighth of seventy-four miles from the earth and will be entirely consumed at a heighth of fifty miles. These meteoric displays take place every thirty-three years. Many people will, no doubt, remain up that night to observe the grand celestial phenomena. Since the cutting down of their supply of tobacco, the convicts in the lowa state penitentiary have been sullen and hard to manage, and some 300 of them have refused to work. Chicago physicians interviewed on the fact say that the action of the prison authorities was unwise: that tobacco in moderate quantities does no harm, and that its quieting effects make prisoners, as well as soldiers, more amendable to discipline and less disposed to mischief. During the winter of 1897 Mr. James Reed, one of the leading citizens and merchants of Clay, Clay Co., W. Va„ struck his leg against a cake of ice in such a manner as to bruise it severely. It became very much swollen and pained him so badly that he could not walk without the aid of crutches. He was treated by physicians, also used several kinds of liniment and two and a half gallons of whiskey in bathing it, but nothing gave and relief until he began using Chamberlain'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 unerjualed for sprains, bruises and rheumatism. For sale by Holthouse, Callow & Co. o

REQUEST DECLINED GENERAL OTIS WILL NOT RECEIVE PEACE COMMISSION. Says Their Propositions Are Vague, Indefinite and Unmilitary — Transport Senator Arrives From Manila. Funston Accepts an Appointment. Manila, Oct. 23.—An American officer was killed and two men were wounded by the Filipinos in an attack on a launch with General Lawton’s expedition in the Rio Chiquita, near San Isidro. The rebels fired volleys from the shore. General Otis has replied to the three insurgent officials who entered Angeles last Friday with a request, made through General MacArthur, for permission for a Filipino commission, headed by a Filipino major general, to visit General Otis in order to discuss peace terms and to arrange for the delivery of more American prisoners, that the desired interview cannot be granted because the suggested propositions of the Filipinos are vague, indefinite and unmilitary, and because the Americans must continue to decline to receive any report of the socalled Filipino government. THE SENATOR The Overdue Transport Arrives All Right at San Francisco. San Francisco, Oct. 23. —The United States transport Senator, nearly a week overdue, arrived yesterday from Manila with the lowa volunteers on board. The Senator was caught in the tail of the typhoon encountered by the Empress of Japan. She was tossed about for several hours, but suffered no severe damage. So serious did the situation seem to the officers of the steamer at one time that all the passengers were ordered below and the hatches battered down. The Fifty-first regiment of lowa volunteers, numbering 764 men and 46 officers, under command of Colonel J. C. Loper, were on board the Senator. There was no sickness aboard. The only death reported was that of Edward Kissik, Company E, of Oskaloosa, la., who died at Nagaski of dysentery. The only incident of the voyage was an accident that happened to Edwin Statler, Company M, and Himer A. Read, company A, three days out from Nagasaki. They were injured by the breaking of the after sail, which fell on them. Statler’s leg was broken and Read sustained a fracture of the skull. Both men are doing well. The Senator missed the typhoon which the Empress of India encountered by sailing east instead of taking the northern route. Adjutant General Byers of lowa, representing Governor Shaw and 300 citizens of lowa, met the Senator at the Golden Gate in tu gs. They received a royal reception from the volunteers. The regiment will be taken off the transport today. General Funston Accepts. San Francisco, Oct. 23. — Brigadier General Funston has wired the war department his acceptance of the appointment of brigadier general in the newly formed volunteer service.

KRUGER Reported to Have Taken the Field In Person. Loudon, Oct. 24. —The Daily Telegraph has received the following from Ladysmith, dated Sunday night: “The Boers, reported to be 9,000 strong and under the command of Commandant General Joubert and President Kruger in person, today again attacked Glencoe. “General Yule, commanding our troops, has moved his camp back, into a better defensive position.” HAS ENOUGH Kruger. It Is Reported, Has Decided to Surrender. Ottawa, Oct. 24.—The governor general, Lord Minto, has received a cablegram from South Africa, dated yesterday afternoon, to the effect that President Kruger has decided to surrender.

It is now definitely known that Glencoe was again attacked Saturday by the Boer main northern column. Our forces are entrenched in a good position. The situation there is not yet fully cleared up. FUNSTON IS TIRED Absurd Claims of Certain Kansas Politicians Make Him Quite Weary.; San Francisco, Oct. 24. — General Frederick Funston in an interview said: “I am getting tired of the absurd claims that are being made by certain politicians of Kansas. Letters have been written me by certain alleged political leaders claiming credit for some order that has been of advantage to the regiment or to myself. They claim credit for the order to go. to Manila and to further assert that I owe my promotion to brigadier to their influence. “It is claimed that the regiment got its order home through the influence of certain politicians, and now oomes to the absurd report that if these same politicians had not exerted a mighty influence I would not have been returned to Manila. •‘The fact of the matter is that the Kansas regiment would have rotted in the sand lots at Camp Merritt, would never have gone to Manila, would be in the Philippines yet, I would be still a colonel and would soon be a private citizen if it had depended upon the exertions or influence of the politicians. The Kansas regiment was about the last regiment to leave San Francisco and was the last, but two, to leave Manila. A whole hell's acre of political influence would not have affected the order of coming or going.” NEGRO’S FATE Was Burned at the Stake In Missouri For Horrible Crime. Canton, Mo., Oct. 21.—Joe LeFlore, a negro, has been burned at the stake for the murder of J. H. Gambrill’s family near St. Ann.
