The electrical illuminations at the
Trans-Mississippi Exposition are de
clared by nrominent visitors who have
seen similar displays at previous expo
sitions in this country and in Europe
to be far ahead of anything heretofore
accon plishcd.The enchanted appearan
ces of the Grand Court at night,lighted
by countless incondcscent lights, baffles
description.
The central feature in the illumina
tions Is the electrical fountain, desig
nated “Nautilus." In the center is a tall
column on the tob of which is seated
the figure of Neptune, viewing his relm
with regal dignity. Bofore him riot
bis captive waters in holiday attire, as
sisted by the rainbow subjects of a ri
val sovereign. Innumerable sprays of
vari-colored crystal fluid dart forty In
rapid sequence, how bursting into flam
ing red. then quieting to subdued moth
er-of-pearl, and again offering a bou
quet of myriad shades to the water god.
The fountain is the central feature in
the picture, but it is in the general ill
umination of the buildings—a row of
lights along every cornice, around every
window, up every pillar, encircling
every dome—that the skill of Mr, Luth
er Stieringer, who baa had charge of
the lighting of the buildings and
grounds, has accomplished the most
wonderful results. Mr. Stelringer was
consulting electrical engineer at the
World's Fair, and has been connected
with this feature of the wot k of all the
recent large expositions.

CAPTURE OF THE LADBONEM.
New York, July 4.—The Evening
Journal in a dispatch from Cavite
via Hong Kong gives this description
of the capture of the Ladrones:
“The C'harlston arrived at Guajan
on the morning of June 20. She
found nothing in the haibor of San
tguuciu ue zvf'uua, lue eapnai ui mt
Ladrone islands and the seat of the
Spanish government. She steamed
south to the bay of San Lois Dapra,
entered it and fired twelve shots at
Fort Santa Cruz. The fort made no
reply to the bombardment.
“The Cbarlston was boarded by
Spanish officials of the Ladrone is
lands, who professed entire ignorance
of war existing between Spain and
the United States. They were made
prisoners and shortly afterwards were
released on purole, promising that
the Spanish governor of the islands,
Senor Juan Marina, should come to
the ship. Governor Murina surren
dered and he aud his stall were made
prisoners uud taken aboard the Char
leston.
“Captain glass look the ffagoflbt
Santa Cruz, as a prize. In the after
noon of June 21, the garrison of the
island surrendered with their arms.

but fifty of the privates were belli.

Mr#. Francisco Otlewski. died very
suddenly at her home la-t Monday, July
4th, 1808 at 19:30 p til after a sickness
of only six days duration. The cause of
her death was due to a severe attack of
iDflaination of the bowels.
Francisco Kuyanskl. was horn in Prus
sia, and was 4o years and 1C days old at
the time of her death. She came to Ame
rica, In 1873 and at flr»t resided at HI
mira, X. Y. for live years She was mar
ried lo Frank Otlewski at K.mira. in
1878, when she moved with her husband
to Bradford county Penna. In 1870 #ho
came to Loup City, where she has resi
ded since. Six children were born to
them of which there are four still llv ng
three girls and one hoy.
Mrs. Otlewski was among the pio: eer
settlers of Sherman county. She w ith
her husband ' and family have worked
hard to establish a home here and had
succeeded l.i getting verry comfortably
situated. They had just built a new
residence and otherwise greatly Improv
ed the convenience and comfort of their
farm. In short, her years of toll in the
hope of getting ahead so as to make
life easier in their declining years were
fully realized,7 when, seeming In her
strong womanhood she was called away.
She was a woman of kind and gentle
disposition, well liked by all her neigh
bors and acquaintances. She was an
honored member of the II >yal Neigh
bors of the Modern Woodmen, and car
ried a policy of 81,000.
The funeral tervices and burial took
place July 6th, at the Turkey creek
Catholic church The bereaved mem
ber • of the family baye the profound
sympathy of all.
TIIE CELEHKATIUM.
The glorious fouth was celeb rated in
Loup City very much as that day of all
day to America is celebrated throughout
the United States. The morning broke
clear and cool and the slumbers of most
of us was disturbed quite early by the
explosion of black powder in ordinances
that would of been but little account at
Santiago but served the purpose here of
waking the slumbers, if they ever do
slumber, of the spirits of the Dead hero
Statesman of the thirteen colonies who
made the 4th the grandest Holiday
for us. At 9, a. rn. the Loup City Silver
cornet band took charge of the Band
stand and proceeded to enliven matters
with a few well selected peices of music
intermingled with the national and
patriotic airs and directed by Prof L.
X. Smith during this time the news reach
ed us that Cerveras fleet bad ru n against
our Sampson and in cousequence thereof
Spain was supplied with a sud-rnarme
fleet with full crews generaled by bis
Satanic Majesty. At 11 a. rn. the parade
was formed led by the band and contain
ing the Spauish prisoners arid as prev
iously advertised Joe made a very good
looking Spaniard but seemed to feel as
hamed of his position as he spoke very
little and said less. After the parade the
Declaration of Independence was read
py J. W- Long from the band stand and
then the crowd dispursed for bili
ner.
At 1. P. M. the ring riding took place
in front of the Opera house then came
the game of ball, bicycle Race and ect In
the evening tire works were indulged in
but by some accident sparks from a sky
rocket set the whole lot on tire and the
display came to a sudden end by all going
oil' at the same time and making things
rather lively for the parties that was
handling them but no one hurt. Danc
ing in the opera house was continued in
to the small hours of the morning and
all went home feeling tired but happy.
