The state of Indiana has a larger

playing a signal that a train will

pass within three minutes. The

uext signal is given when the train is

a half a mile away aud reads: “Don’t

cross on peril of your life. Train

approaching.” I t is thought that

this will prevent many accidents.

One of the greatest attractions for

world, i t uses coal for fuel and the

train consists of ten passenger

coaches with a capacity of two per­

sons for each coach. The engine

which hauls this wonderful little

train weighs six hundred pounds, as

compared with the two hundred

thousand pounds of an ordinary full

grade locomotive. I t is a standard

eight whetl American type, only five

feet four inches long, eighteen inches

wide and thirty-eight inches from

the rail to the top of the smoke stack

.The cylinders are two inches in di-

are five feet long and twenty-two

inches wide. The train runs at a

speed of ten miles an hour.

Tlie members of the Fredericksburg national park commission called on the Secretary of War at Washington to lay before him the plans of the commission for a memorial park which will, include the battlefields of Fredericksburg, Chan- celiorsville, Tebb’s Tavern and several other fields comprised in an area of twelve miles square 011 the south side, of the Itappahannoek. A bill is pending be­fore Congress on this subject. Tlie com­mittee, headed by Gen. I^ing and Gen. Ruggles, laid the plans before Secretary Root to give him a fuller idea of the feas­ibility of tlie undertaking and to secure, if possible, his indorsement of the plan before the next Congress. The Secre­tary of War, without binding himself to any positive action, promised to do what he could to further the 'wishes of the commission.

Another suit for damages, the out­growth of the sensational and mysteri­ous robbery of the American National Bank on last Christmas eve, 'tfhen over $18,000 was taken, was brought at Lima, Ohio, by Elijah Bowsher, janitor of the bank at the time, against N. L. Michaels, vice-president of the bank, for §20,000. Bowsher claims the damages for injury to his reputation by Michaels declaring that he was the one who had the money and who robbed the bank. Bowsher bought a farm and paid part on it and Michael told a number of persons that he had no money to buy a farm with prior to the robbery. The basement of the bank, where Bowsher had his head­quarters, was searched several times and detectives dogged his footsteps for months, but they could find nothing against him. Other suits will probably follow. — *---

William Rockefeller has been elected a member of the executive committee of the New York Central Company at the meeting which authorized an issue of £15,000,000 additional stock. The New York World says: “The election of Mr. Rockefeller to the executive council of the New York Central system is of far- reaching importance, as it marks the sur­render of the New York, New Haven and Hartford system to the New York Central. Mr. Rockefeller was elected a director in the New York Central a few' weeks ago. lie and his brother, John D. Rockefeller, have never heretofore com­manded any influence in New York Cen­tral affairs, although they have for sev­eral years held a big block of its stock. But they have been important factors in the management of the New York, New Haven and Hartford system. William Rockefeller’s election to the executive committee of the Central is, therefore, accepted as an indication that the union of the two systems will shortly follow. The next step in the deal will, it is be­lieved by railway men, be the absorption of the Boston and Albany, the Boston and Maine, the Fitchburg and the Maine Central. The amalgamation of all these interests under the auspices of the Van­derbilts will end the war between the New England roads, which has continued for ycars.,,

Rev. Mr. Norvell, a Methodist minis­ter, is the central figure in a fight be­tween Miller, S. D., and St. Lawrence over the attempted removal of the par­sonage at the latter place which was re­cently purchased w ith funds raised by the women of his congregation at Miller. When Norvell and some of his flock went to St. Lawrence to haul the house away they met with the opposition of the peo­ple there, some of whom were members of his St. Lawrence flock. The outcome was the arrest of the parson. On a change of venue the case came up before Justice Butterfield, who dismissed the charger Mr. Norvell lias been rearrested on another warrant. A large number of Methodist women, accompanied by the sheriff and a gang of workmen, went to St. Lawrence after their parsonage building. A number of them were ar­rested, but the work went on. Senator King, Dr. Taylor and Mr. Loomis of St. Lawrence were arrested by Miller people for intimidating laborers. The women claim a victory.

The canal commission in Nicaragua is actively and successfully engaged in the work of straightening the proposed route and otherwise lessening the cost of con­structing the waterway. It is estimated that the commission will decrease by sev­eral million dollars the amount mention­ed by Admiral Walker in his recent re­port to Congress. Captain A. P. Davis of the commission has charge of the hy­drographic division, which is to examine the five proposed routes across the Cen­tral American isthmus and report the re­sult of their investigations to the Gov­ernment of the United States. Captain Davis has under his command a number of engineers who are taking the meas­urement of streams of water that flow into the lakes along the course of the projected canal. He reports that there is a bountiful supply of water for canal purposes in Nicaragua. He will shortly start for Panama to study the water sup­ply for the Panama, Darien and other routes.

The Standard Oil Company is buying up and leasing many thousands of acres of abandoned gas territory with the knowledge, satisfactory to itself, that with the exhaustion of natural gas the territory will be flooded with oil. Experts have decided that this is the secret of the advance in the price of oil recently. Both oil and gas men believe that it will not be long until Marion, Alexandria, Anderson and other gas belt cities are surrounded by oil wells. More wells are being drilled now than at any other time iu the history of the Indiana oil belt.

Somebody will have to answer for a re­markable discovery which has been made on the gunboat Viking. The Viking had been fitted out at the Norfolk navy yard for duty in Central American waters. Much money had been expended on the equipment of the ship. It was equipped with a rapid fire battery and was stocked with tlie usual supplies, such as fuel and the many other articles of a warship on a long cruise. It was placed in commis­sion a few days ago and the detail of officers and selection of a crew wras made. When it came to placing the provisions on board it was discovered that there was no place for such stores. No amount of figuring could re-arrange the material on board so as to accommodate the pro­visions for the crew. There was nothing to do but remove all the supplies, disarm the ship and put it out of commission. It is likely the Viking will be sold. It is of no use to the navy.

by 14,217,240 bushels. Previous to 1890 the greatest corn crop w~as two years ago. The figures show that the crop of 1899 reaches the enormous figure of 244,- 125,093 bushels. The average yield per acre is 34.5 bushels, and the quality of the crop is excellent except in very lim­ited portions of the State, where hot weather in August damaged it somewhat. The crop is not only tlie largest, but tak­en as a whole is of as good quality as any ever raised in the State.

Gen. White, at the head of 12.000 British, and Gen. Joubert, commanding 16,000 Boers, measured arms in the vi­cinity of Ladysmith Monday, and the British claim the victory, but in the fa­cial reports, which are glaringly half­hearted. the English admit casualties of from 80 to 100. The Boer loss is said to be much larger. The two armies fought from daybreak to the middle of the afternoon, when both apparently took a recess.

Joubert began the fight about ~> o’clock Monday morning, firing several 100-pound shells in the direction of that part of the British force stationed near the railway station. Their ammunition was good and their aim excellent. Gen. White was

fully prepared and first ordered the ar­tillery lire returned and then ordered out a large force of cavalry and infantry to advance upon the Boer positions. The British claim the Boers failed to stand their ground and retreated.

White’s forces followed up the suppos­ed advantage, but soon found themselves face to face with a large army of Boers, who were all well armed and full of fight* The fighting raged fiercely until shortly before noon, when White withdrew with­out having forced the Boers within their laagers, and with a loss which will un­doubtedly prove heavy. un-

It seems Gen. White’s first \purpose was to charge the positions of tifp Boer batteries and capture, if possibi\ the big guns, which played so important a part at Glencoe. The charge was csji- sidered successful at first, but upon thei*; arrival at the point where the Boor guns*vi had been located the British found them, gone. IIow Joubert managed to remove the awkward, heavy weapons is a mys­tery to the British, as they are said to- weigh fully four tons each with their carriages.

One London newspaper, trying to ac­count for the British retirement, says-

that presumably the Boers were driven back until they reached strong positions,, which White naturally refused to attack.. •Gen. White reports the stampede hap­pening during the night, as the result of battery fighting. But the newspaper accounts indicate the runaway occurred during the day’s action.

he crossed the room, locked the door, and put the key iu Ms pocket

“W hat the deuce do you mean?” cried, starting up indignantly. “You are presuming unpardonably! Replace the key and unlock the door!” And I went over to him as I spoke.

“Gently, gently, my good sir,” he said. “I am not nearly satisfied with our chat yet. Look at this and sit down quietly.”

“This,” which he held in my face, was a revolver. Was I at the mercy of a madman ”

“You are at the wrong end of it, you know, so sit down and be civil.”

I shrugged my shoulders and return­ed to my chair, having the unpleasant sensation that he was “covering” me all the time.

When I had seated myself, he came and sat down at the other side of my table, laid his revolver in front of him, and began to bite his nails. I waited his pleasure silently, wondering what I could best do.

“I t ’s like this!” he said, so suddenly that he startled me out of my thoughts. “I had a partner. That partner gets drowned at our works in a butt of pur-

waited my leisure, his eyes fixed upon the crackling logs in the grate, and his chin resting upon his hands.

“W hat can I do for you, Mr.—Mr. Portman?” I asked, presently, putting down my pen and turning round upon my visitor.

“You are Mr. Cecil Lawrence, the au­thor, are you not?” he returned.

“Yes.”“The author of ‘A Romance in Blue

came by the plot for that story?” he said, his dreamy eyes lighting up for an instant.

“I ’m afraid I cannot give you any in­formation upon that matter,” I replied.“Authors do not generally communi­cate their methods of work and thought to strangers, and my time is at present so much occupied that, un­less you really have some important ■ thoughts, less you really nave son___».business with me I really-

you, on my honor, I never dreamed that you really existed, or I should not have used such a plot.”

“But you must have known! You must have seen!” he cried, leaning over the table and hissing his words into my face.

W hat would have happened if the meaning of his words had flashed, in­stead of dawning, slowly, upon me I cannot think—I never want to know. But. coming upon my worried brain slowly, the meaning did not make me start, and my visitor, who evidently realized he had spoken without think­ing how lie spoke, probably trusted I had missed his second sentence.

To help him to that belief I an­swered :

“How could I have known the unfor­tunate dyer had a partner? I realize my horrible mistake now, of course. I ought never to have written the book without first inquiring whether my plot would encroach too much upon actual facts.”

He did not seem to hear me. He was staring over my shoulder, deep in thought, like a man who dreams his

He staggered back and leaned against the wall.

“Give me the key, John Saxon,” I said stei-nly.

W ith Ids wild eyes fixed upon the revolver, he took the key from his pocket and threw it upon the table. I took it up and drew toward the door.

As if he realized that the door would open only to allow him to pass out to the gallows, he made a desperate, sud­den spring at me as, with my left hand, I slipped the key into the lock.

“Stand back!” I cried, and pushed the revolver into the hollow of his ashy cheek.

“Stop!” he ejaculated hoarsely, as with an impetuous gesture he pushed his lank hair off his moistened brow with both his hands. “What are you going to do, old man? A price, price, price! A price—my life! I ’ll buy my life! A price?”

He crept toward me, shaking his trembling arms above his head. Sud­denly he stopped, and his eyes started from their sockets. lie threw his chin forward as if trying to swallow some lump rising iu liis throat. Then, as I sprang to him, he twisted on his heel and fell in a heap upon the floor.

A price! Nemesis had refused his price for life.

“I have important business with you!” he exclaimed, almost angrily. “Do you fancy, that I have come down all the way from Lancashire to ask a mere slip of an author his methods of work?”

“From Lancashire?” I said, in sur­prise. “Indeed no; no sane man would. But please state your business.”

“W ill you answer my question?” he cried, rising impatiently and folding his hands behind liis back. “How did you come by the facts in your story?”

“Since you attach such undue im­portance to the matter,” I replied cold­ly, “I can only say that I owe some of the plot of my ‘Romance in Blue Dye’ to a newspaper paragraph I chanced upon some eighteen months ago.”

“Can you show me this paragraph?” “Really, unless you can tell me in

what way this matter is of so much importance to you, I fear I must de­cline to continue this interview, for, as I have already told you, I am ex­ceedingly busy.”

He looked at me steadily for a mo­ment in silence, and the light came into his eyes again.

“My name is Portman—John Port- man, of Portman & Stayle, dyers and cleaners, Rochdale,” he said, in a pe­culiar tone I could not understand. “Do you understand?”

“No. I may be very dense, but I don’t understand in what way the statement of your identity proves the importance of your visit,” I responded, becoming annoyed with him, his man­ners, and his tone.

“You don't eh?” he blurted out. “Well, Stayle, my late partner, was the man who was found in the vat of dye. You are a picturesque liar, you- know!”

I started—not at the fellow’s insult, but at the germ of an idea that was dawning upon me. This man, then, was the actual being whom I had cre­ated, as I thought, in the person of James Saxon, the murderer of his partner. I fully understood now how greatly this man, whose actual exist­ence I had never suspected, must have been annoyed by my book; for, doubt­less, persons who had read it and knew of the manner in wliicn my vis­itor’s unfortunate partner had met his death had commented upon the matter unpleasantly to my visitor.

“Do you understand me now?” my visitor demanded, seeing I was not prepared to say anything about his previous speech.

“Yes, I fear so,” I replied, with a sickly smile. “But, if you have come here with the intention of bullying me you made an error in the address. My solicitors, Messrs. Wright & Wright, Ely Place, are the people to call upon.”

He looked at me and frowned. Then

Bah!” he said suddenly, with great passion. “How did you learn all you

Curious Case of a Property Owner on the

Thames.

A very curious and interesting case has been decided by the court of ap­peal. The present owner of Medinen- 1am Abbey and of the land on the op­posite bank of the Thames has been saddled with the responsibility of maintaining a ferry over the river, as the result of an action which was be­gun about a year ago. The question at issue was whether the ferry was an ancient one, and so attached to the manor that the lord could be compelled to maintain it. As everybody knows, no questions are more obscure than those of ferries, rights of way and commons, and we think that the pres­ent proprietor may be thankful even though he has lost his case, that the litigation has not been protracted for years and years. We recollect a case which arose out of an alleged ancient right to dig gravel, which—the case, not the right—began in 1840, and rar with varying fortunes for the next 40 years, to the great profit of the law­yers and damage to the gravel. Our system of real property is a fearful and wonderful thing, and it might happen to any of us to buy a piece of land and then find that the neigh­bors had rights of “piscary” in the pond, “turbary” in the lawn, and “pannage”—which is the right to feed hOgs—in the plantations.

The Governor and staff and a party of Grand Army men and other Union vet­erans recently made a journey that will find place in the future histories of the United States. The peaceful mission was the return of a Confederate battle flag captured from Terry’s Texas Rangers at Coosaville, Ga., Oct. 13, 1803, by Wild­er’s brigade, commanded by Gen. A. O. Miller of Lebanon. The Seventeenth In­diana got possession of the flag and it was sent North to the Governor of In­diana. It has been in the State capitol since the war. The flag of Terry’s Texas Rangers was made by the good women of Texas. It is still in good condition, though somewhat faded. The dimensions are three by two feet. The main part of the flag is blue silk. In the center is a white circle of satin, yellowed with years, and within this white circle is a red cross in which eleven stars are skill­fully worked with yellow silk thread. Near the border of the white circle on one side are worked in blue silk thread the words: ‘‘God defend the right. Terry’s Texas Rangers.” On the other side of the flag, which is the same in all other respects, are the words: “Ducit amor pat­riae. Terry’s Texas Rangers.” Adjt. Wm. E. Doyleg of the Seventeenth In-

THE F L A G OF T E R R Y ’S R A N G E R S .

diana kept a diary of the work of that regiment.. In the diary appears the fol­lowing brief account of the capture of the flag: “Oct. 13: Moved on the enemy. Found him strongly posted on a creek ftear Coosaville. Our brigade charged dismounted, breaking the enemy’s line; at the same time the brigade of Minty charged and took their artillery, killed and wounded about fifty in the trio of rebel brigades. Our regiment lost four killed and three wounded. Capt. Weiler following the enemy on the flank captured the flag of ‘Tergv’s Texas Rangers.’ Re­turned after 20 mfles.t to near Rome. Day’s marc£exas j^angers Tfeginated the of Terry’s petitioning the Indiana^ oveDLegislature for a return of the flag. State j . j Weiler, a past commander of

Grand Army, joined in the request. The matter was presented to Gov. Mount, who approved of it after conferring with Gen. Miller. Senator Binkley of Rich­mond introduced the resolution in the Legislature wrhich appropriated $250 for the expenses of the return. In the party wero the Governor and most of the mem­bers of his staff. Adjt. Gen. Gore was unable to go because of illness. The $250 was turned over to Daniel Ryan, past de­partment commander, who selected the following party: W. J. Ililligoss, Mun­cie; Daniel Ryan, Flat Rock; W . L. Dun­lap, Franklin; Timothy E. Howard, South Bend; B. M. Hutchins, Columbus; H, C. Caylor, Noblesville;. G. V.. Men- zies, North Vernon, and Senator Birk- ley of Richmond. The tattered battle flag was restored to the surviving rem­nant of the gallant Confederate band, the ceremonies taking place in the auditorium at the fair grounds at Dallas, Texas. Gov. Mount of Indiana and staff, Gov. Sayers of Texas and staff and a mount­ed escort of Capt. Pagett’s rough riders formed in front of the City Hall and pro­ceeded to the entrance of the grounds, where they were met by a delegation of ex-Gonfederates and members of the Grand Army of the Republic, who es­corted them to the auditorium. Gov. Mount in an impressive speech before a large assemblage presented the flag to Gov. Sayers, who in turn presented it to James Miller, president of the Associa­tion of Terry’s Rangers. Much, enthu­siasm was manifested during the proceed­ings. • ,

The attention of the State has been called by a series of deaths to tho fact that there are 1,100 mentally unsound persons in the jaUs and poorhouses of Indiana, most of whom are rapidly pass­ing into hopeless insanity because of the inability of the State to give them cura­tive treatment. Each of the four State institutions is crowded to the doors. At present 3 , 9 1 G patients are being cared for and the capacity of every room and ward is taxed to its utmost. The last Legislature madie provisions for exten­sions of these institutions to accommo­date 700 more patients, but it will be some time before they are completed. In tho meantime, however, the situation is serious. Indiana claims the distinction of being the first Government, State or national, in the world to pledge care of the insane. She was the second to erect a government or State insane asylum, one of the Carolinas leading in this respect. Since 1 8 4 3 , when the Indiana asylum was erected, each Indiana Legislature has found it necessary to take up the question and in 1 8 6 5 the. State took more advanced grounds and adopted the 'pol­icy that all of the insane, both curable and incurable, were wards of the State.

Gov. Mount has appointed W. J. Ve- sey judge of the Superior Court at Fort Wayne to succeed the late Judge Daw­son. There wa* an eager contest for the place between the friends of Mr, Yesey and of H. C. Hanna for the ap­pointment.

NIOLY CAUGHT.

The Rounder has known for a lorg

time that Culver possessed a numb*r

of young men who were invinoil le

whe.. it comes to perform “tricks * on

the s-ly, or accomplish any other feai

that required uerve aud persever­

ance to p ;rform. Hence, on Mon

aa-v evening a gang of these

smart Alecks,” conceived the iden

that they would preface Hallovvuei ,

by giving the citizens a foretaste < f

what they could expect Tuesday evt -

niug. Taey made a raid on the

buggy house belouging to the Evan­

gelical preacher, ran his baudsou;6

top carriage to the build ing ‘designa-/ J

ted as a jail by the powers that be.

and placed said "carriage on top of

the same, also Johnson’s feather-re­

novating wagon, and a row boat.

They ran Swigart’s drav and buggy

uut upon the railrord pier and plac­

ed the buggy on one of the steamers.

Previous to this they went to the

barn in the rear of Bradley’s resta­

urant, and captured a fine surrey,

ran it to the Morris boat house pier

and imnimsed it in the lake so that

only the top appeared above to wat­

er’s edge. In the meantime, Mr.

Bradley, the owner of the surrev,

was not napping so serenely as the

boys supposed, aud accompanied by

his wife, went on a tour of investi­

gation. T^hey heard the youngsters

along the lake shore, and going in

that dirvctiou found the suirey iu

the lake near the pier. Soon the

boys hove in sight with ihe dray

and buggy aforesaid, and while they

were making superhuman efforts to

hoist the buggy upon the boat, the

Bradley’s appeared upon the scene,

and Mr. Bradley casually asked

them if they were enjoying thetnsel

res, and at the same time quietly re­

marked that they should immediate­

ly return his surrey to his buggy

house. The boys were perfectly

dumfounded,-—and like the little

boy, “had nothing ^to say,” bu‘

thought that discretion was the bet­

ter part of valor and after a desper­

ate struggle succeeded in rescuing

the vehicle from its watery grave

while Mr. Bradley and his amiabl<-

better-half looked ou and enjo-et

that they never knew before that an-a *

of the said gang were partieVilu

The dispatches from So nth Africa have been so diversified and contrary that it has been difficult to outline the situation ‘with any degree of precision. T 111*00 or four main facts, however, stand out prominently. Gen. Symon’s light at Glencoe was not anything like the decis­ive victory at first alleged, and Gen, Yule would in all probability have been annihilated or have met with the same fate as the captured huzzars if he had not retreated. Gen. White’s “artillery duel” at Itietfontein was a very severe engagement, in which the rifle did great execution and in which success was also achieved at a distressing cost. The bom­bardment of Mafeking commenced Wed­nesday and the Boers got their hussar prisoners safely to Pretoria.

Altogether the campaign is being push­ed by the Boers so strenuously and on such sound strategical lines that the sit­uation of the British must in all proba­bility give them cause for deep anxiety for some time to come. Apart from the

fatigue, regiments like the Gordon High­landers and Royal Rifles have been prac­tically without officers since the fights, and 135 additional officers have been or­dered to leave England as speedily as possible.

Outside of officialdom, . and possibly even therein, London on Thursday %Vas absolutely without definite news of im­portance from the vicinity of Ladysmith. I t was believed that the forces of Gen. White and Gen. Yule were united, al­though even this was a matter of specu­lation. It was known that the Boer forces were near to Ladysmith.

The suppression of news has not only caused great indignation in Great Brit­ain, but has created grave alarm for the future. As a consequence the British public is enraged at Lord Wolseley, and demands that all official dispatches be

The Chicago police claim they have dis­covered a bigamist beside whom the no­torious Bates must figure as a matrimo­

scattered through­out the world, four of whom are in CJii-' cago, was the confession alleged to have been made by Farnsworth. He also ad- * xnitted that he was a man of many aliases. Some of them are Charles Brad­ford, A. J. Hittig, S. L. Thomas, A li Kiefer and Bradshaw. “I cannot tell ex­actly how many women I have married,” eaid he. “I know of eleven in Europe, four in China, three in Peru, one in England and over twenty in different parts of the world, but to save my soul I could not tell how many.

If ever a country was bottled up, South Africa is. England has complete control of all news outlets, and she evidently has enough censors over there to choke off unfavorable news, and some relations of the late lamented Blanco* to send wild and woolly tales of victories won. The cable companies in New York say that they never knew of a place so complete­ly cut oft* as the scene of the present hostilities, and the censorship that Eng­land is exercising is simply stunning. All news is not only censored at its start, but it is held up from one to four times en route, and finally is for the most part delivered through London. American, German and French newspapers and press associations have sent big corps of men to South Africa, but they get mighty little show, even with thedr messages that have been mangled by the censors. The English newspaper men get first call, and, as a result, London is the real news center of the war.

In the first place, the Transvaal and Orange Free State are utterly and com­pletely cut off, so far as land wires go. The only outlet has been through Dur­ban, in Natal, on the e*ast coast, and Cape Town on tbe west coast. Both these cities are in British territory. There was a land line from Pretoria to Loren­zo Marquez, which ran through Portu­guese territory, but this has been inter­rupted either by actually cutting the wire or by diplomatic chicanery with Portu­gal. Portugal sympathizes with the Boers, but she has so much sea coast and is so near England that Johnny Bull has her bluffed to a standstill.

News from Glencoe, Ladysmith and other points in Natal can reach the out­side world over the Durban and west coast line, or via Cape Town and the east coast. From Durban the cable runs 345 miles to Lorenzo Marquez (Delogoa Bay). Then it plunges again into the Indian ocean and emerges at Mozam­bique, 974 miles away, thence by cable to Zanzibar, 692 miles further, and final­ly to Aden, 1,920 miles further. All this by cable. At Aden the British cen­sorship is supreme.

From Aden the news goes under the whole length of the Red Sea to Suez, 1,403 miles, thence on land wires along the Suez canal to Port Said, 92 miles, thence by cable to Alexandria, 154 miles, thence to Malta, 928 miles; to Gibraltar, 1,126 miles; to Lisbon, 390 miles; to Land’s End, England, 899; then by land to London and from London to Dublin, thence to WatervilLe, Ireland. Then comes the long plunge over the commer­cial cable to Nova Scotia, 2,348 miles. Eight hundred and forty miles of cable remains, and the news is at New York. British military censors have a whack at it at Durban, Aden, Suez, Alexandria, Gibraltar and London.

.Over the w est coast route the start is made at Cape Town, thence by cable to Mossamedes, 1,138 miles; to Benguela, 234; to Loand, 296; to Acera, 975 miles; to Sierra Leone, 1,020; to Bathhurst, 463. At Bathhurst the cable leaves the African coast and bobs up next at San­tiago, a possession, near the Cape Verde islands, 470 ; St. Vincent, 204 miles; to Madeira, 1,169: to Lisbon, 632; thence to London, following the same route as news from the east coast.

rrcie only place in all this west coast route where a leak might occur is at St. Vincent, where there is a cable to Brazil. England-ahas forbidden all code and ci­pher messages of any description to be sent to St. Vincent and her orders are being obeyed to the letter.

On all the east coast lines all cipher and code messages are forbidden, just as on the west coast, and nothing, even re­motely relating to the war, can be sent by anybody without the English “O. K .” at the various relay stations.

THANKSGIVING DAY IS SET.

MICHAEL DAVITT QUITS.

O r e a t I r i s h L e a d e r I s O p po se d to th eR o e r W a r ,

The Irish pretest against the war on the Boers culminated in a sensational manner Wednesday, when Mr. Michael Davitt, the prominent Irish nationalist and republican, and member of parlia­ment far Mayo, announced in the House of Commons that he would resign from »that body Thursday. “If I were offered an Irish republic,” said Mr. Davitt, “in exchange for one word in favor of this war, I would not utter it. I shall re­sign and ask the chancellor to release me from further attendance.”

Before leaving, Mr. Davitt thanked his opponents for their toleration, but added: **I am convinced the House of Commons was never for right unless backed by force.”

The British admiralty has ordered that all the cruisers which mobilized for the July maneuvers be prepared for active service at a moment’s notice. As the Transvaal campaign itself does not call for warships, this action of the British admiralty is taken to indicate apprehen­sion that there is ground for the rumor * that France and Russia may interfere La behalf of the Boers.

The British movements show vastly su­perior strategy.

Hundreds of refugees from the Rand now crowd the coast towns.

The best Boer policy is cavalry raids and fortifications' of the passes.

Cecil Rhodes is personally at the head of a band of rough riders.

England is watching the movements of France and Russia with eagle eyes.

England is placing large orders for army clothing -with German manufactur­ers.

Gen. Yule’s march from Glencoe was attended by several skirmishes with the Boers.

Gibraltar is being strengthened, and ex­tra precautions are being taken in re­gard to visitors.

Tho Boers acknowledged they lost 100 killed and 300 taken prisoners in the bat­tle of Elandsiaagte.

When it is noon in New York it is 7 o’clock in the evening of the same day in the Transvaal.

The British at Elandsiaagte were com­manded by Gen. French. Col. Hamil­ton had charge of the infantry.

According to late reports of the fight at Spytfontein the Boers were remarka­bly ineffective with their artillery.

The British Government has given au­thority for organizing a large supple­mentary army medical staff in the Trans­vaal.

It is estimated that not less than 11,- 000 Boers are watching the passes in the Drakonberg range from Oliver’s Hook to Collins’ Pass.

The success of Gen. Symons at Dun­dee Hill and Gen. French at Elands­iaagte were unexpected developments in the campaign.

There is the ominous possibility of a Dutch insurrection in Cape Colony. The fanners are said to be highly excited and in a state of disloyalty.

Both sides are anxious to keep the Basutos and Zulus out of the war. The spirit of humanity is strongly evinced in the policy of both war departments.

President McKinley has issued the fol­lowing Thanksgiving proclamation:

A national custom dear to the hearts of the people calls for the setting apart of one day in each year as an occasion of special thanksgiving to A lm ighty God for the bless­ings of the preceding year. This honored observance acquires w ith time a tenderer significance, i t enriches domestic life. I t summons under the fam ily roof the absent children to glad reunion w ith those they love.

Seldom has this nation had greater cause £or profound thanksgiving. No great pesti­lence has invaded our shores. Liberal .em­ployment waits upon labor. Abundant crops have rewarded the efforts of the husband­man. Increased comforts have come to the home. The national finances have been strengthened and public credit has been sus­tained and made firmer. I 11 all branches of Industry and trade there has been an un­equaled degree of prosperity, while there has been a steady gain in the moral and educational grow th of our national char­acter.

Churches and schools have flourished. American patriotism has been exalted. Those engaged in m ain ta in ing the honor of the flag w ith such signal success have been in a large degree spared from disaster and disease. An honorable peace has been ra ti­fied w ith a foreign nation w ith which we were at war, and we are now 011 friendly relations w ith every power 011 earth.

The trust which we have assumed for the* benefit of the people of Cuba has been fa ith ­fully advanced. There is marked progress toward the restoration of healthy industrial conditions, and under wise sanitary regula­tions the island has enjoyed unusual exemp­tion from the scourge of fever. The hurri­cane which swept over our new possession of Porto ltico, destroying the homes and property of the inhabitants, called forth the instant sympathy of the people of the U ni­ted States, who were sw ift to respond w ith generous aid to the sufferers. W hile the in ­surrection still continues in the island of Luzon, business is resuming its activity, and confidence in the good purposes of the U n i­ted States is being rapidly established throughout the archipelago.

For these reasons and countless others, I, W illiam M cKinley, President of the United States, do hereby name Thursday, the 30th day of November next, as a day of general thanksgiving and prayer, to be observed as such by all our people on t.hU; continent and in our newly acquired islands, as well as by those who may be at sea or sojourning in foreign lands; and I advise tha t 011 th is day religious exercises shall be conducted in the churches or meeting places of all denom ina­tions, in order tha t in the social features of the day its real significance may not be lost sight of, but fervent prayers may be offered to the most high for a continuance of the divine guidance w ithout which m an’s efforts are vain and for divine consolation to those whose kindred and friends have sacrificed their lives for country.

I recommend also tha t on this day, so far as may be found practicable, labor shall Cfease from its accustomed toil and charity abound toward the sick, the needy and the poor.

In witness w^hereof, I have set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed. W IL L IA M M ’K IN L E Y .

This iirm enjoys the confidence of the public by its many years of fair dealing. It issues an immense illustrated catalogue that should be in every family, as it describes and gives the price of every article required for household use. A sample of the ex­traordinary values offered by this firm is shown in the illustration of the “Melba” sewing machine in another column of this paper for $14.25. This is one of the best sewing machines ever offered to the pub­lic, and yet it is but a sample of the thousand and one useful articles illus­trated and described in the beautiful cat­alogue of the John M.

The Brockton, Mass., Times says that at the factory of the W. L. Douglas Shoe Company in that city the pay roll for the week ending Sept. 30, excluding superin­tendent, foremen, salesmen and all cler­ical help, showed the average earnings of the employes, large and small, to be $15.54 per week. This was notc an ex­traordinary wreek. It was the customary pay roll.

The Douglas factory has been closed but one week this year, and that for the usual summer stock taking, and it will be closed but three days the hitter pail of December. This would make but nine days out of the year that the factory is closed.

Owing to Increased business, another addition is to be made to the Douglas factory. It will be 100 feet long, 40 feet wide, and five stories high. This addi­tion increases the capacity 25 per cent. The W. L. Douglas Shoe Company has the largest factory in the world, produc­ing an' advertised line $3.50 and $3.00 shoes.

Whittemore were friends of the Philpots, and it is supposed they were ambushed by some of the Griffin faction.

One of the Philpot faction was am­bushed and killed on House branch of Horse creek Tuesday as he was coining from the Pigeon Roost district to attend court. A clash between the Baker and White factions occurred on Sexton’s creek, and it is reported that two men were killed.

Circuit Judge Eversole, who was to haye opened court Monday at Manches­ter, came within two miles of town, and, when he heard the news, fled, fearing as­sassination, as he w~as in the old Perry County French-Eversole feud. The coun­ty bar held an election and appointed Carlo Lytle special judge. Both the Phil­pot and Griffin factions at Manchester are in small armies, heavily armed.

William Lafler, who has returned to Tacoma from Alaska, brings a tragic story of the deaths of N. C. Daily and two Frenchmen, names unknown, all of Boston, on the Bonanza river, in north­ern Alaska, last winter. The men had been searching for gold, but ran out of food and starved to death during a ter­rible blizzard, though their belts were filled with goud dust. Daily and two Frenchmen got separated from Lafler and his partner during the blizzard, and wan­dered away almost without provisions and with only scanty clothing. When the storm moderated Lafler’s party searched for their missing companions, and finally found their tent. The men's bones had been picked clean by wolves, though their belts and gold dust remained intact. One camp stove in the tent was found. The kettle was filled with the rawhide thongs of snow'shoes which the starving men had tried to boil for food.

PROMINENT P H Y S I C I A NWho has had 35 Y E A R S of active Practice of Medicine has to say.

I have never before in my 35 years of practice of medicine given my testimonial or recommen­dation to any patent medicine, but there is a remedy, the result of whionrfas come under my own observation ; for there is no Disease which has so baffled the medical skill of a!) ayes as Rheuma­tism and to find a Reliable remedy for the same. At last we have found it in “ 5 Drops,” manu­factured by the Swanson Rheumatic Cure Company, Chicago, III. The " 5 DROPS” has proven itself wonderful for its curative power in Rheumatism, not as a Temporary Reliever only, but to

give h Permanent Cure even in chronic cases. Sometime ago I had anions others several Rheumatic cases under my treatment and prescribed for these patients the very best Remedies which I skillfully selected, but with­out desirable results. I then heard of “ 5 DROPS ” and of its Wonderful Cures, and prescribed it to a few patients, who found relief from its use within a few days. After that I prescribed it to a great number and to my surprise I will say that in the course of Two or Three Weeks after they had used “ 5 DROPS” and “ 5 Drop” Plasters they were Cured. Among these were a few who had, for a number of years', been sufferin'/'with Chronic Rheumatism, who had piloted themselves around on Crutches. They came to my office w ithout Crutches and told me thev were perfectly well. They give all the credit to “ 5 DROPS ” and to “ 5 Drop ” Plasters and this is their testimony to the Swanson Rheumatic Cure Company for their kindness and for the conscientious way in which they are placing

these Wonderful Remedies among suffering humanity, which they told me to write to the Company as an acknowledgment. As I have seen the Curative Power of “ 5 DROPS ” and “ 5 D rop” Plasters, in a great many instances, I can Truly recommend them, and also that the firm is per­fectly honest and reliable to deal with.

Liver ills.DR. RAD WAY & CO., New York:

Dear Sirs—I have been sick for nearly two years, and havo been doctoring with some of the most expert doc­tors of tho United States. I have been bathing and drinking hot water at the Hot Springs, Ark., but it seemed everything failed to do me good. After I saw your advertisement I thought I would try your pills, and have nearly used two boxes; b«en taking two at bedtime and one after breakfast, and they have done me more good than anything else I have ever used. My trouble has been with the liver. My skin and eyes wore all yellow; I had sleepy, drowsy feelings; felt like a drunken man; pain right above the navel, like as if it was bile on top of the stomach. My bowels were costive. My mouth and tongue sore most of the time. Appetite fair, but food would not digest, but settle heavy on my stomach, and some few mouthfuls of food come, up again. I could only eat light food that di- gests^easily. Please send “Book of Advice.” Respect­fully, BEN ZAUGG, Hot Springs, Ark.

When Mr. Jackson went to F?anz Josef Land, a few years ago, he tore the map that Payer had made of the archipelago quite to pieces, for he found it extremely inaccurate. The map Jack­son made would hardly be recognized as a chart of the same region that Pay­er had tidied to delineate. The old story of explorer after explorer correcting one another's blunders is again illus­trated, if it is true that the Duke of the Abruzzi has now found an import­ant mistake in the map Jackson made.

This Italian prince, who is in quest of the north pole by way of Franz Josef Land, reached the islands last summer, and, according to a letter received from his party, he has established the fact that Cape Flora is really ten geograph­ical miles east of the position assigned to it on Jackson’s map. Cape Flora was Jackson’s headquarters for three years, and there is an element of humor in the circumstance if, while *lie was exposing the many shortcomings of Explorer Payer, he was blundering himself and even assigning the wrong petition to his own camp.

The scientific observations of the Ita l­ian explorer should have a high degree of merit, for he has very competent as­sistants, and his equipment of instru­ments, as well as other supplies, is un­doubtedly the best that was ever taken into the Arctic regions. The total ex­penses of the expedition are expected to reach $500,000, of which the King of Italy has contributed a fourth. Some details of the Duke’s equipment are quite unique. He distributed his bag­gage amoug 1,500 boxes, each weighing about fifty-live pounds, and easily port­able, if necessary, upon a man's back. He divided the boxes into four classes: Provisions, clothing and equipment; tools and scientific instruments, and, lastly, articles that are useful, but not indispensable. Each class has its spe­cial color, and each box is numbered according to the class and nature of its contents. The provisions, consisting of rice, sea biscuit, preserved meats, etc., have been sq divided that, each box con­tains five different kinds of food, in order that the fare may in no case be reduced to one article of food. The in­side of each chest is lined with tin, and soldered to keep out water and damp­ness. The boxes containing the cloth­ing are of bright green, those holding the scientific instruments are red, and yellowr boxes hold the useful, but not indispensable articles, which include games and musical instruments.

Mabel—Say, ma, you know them Ita l­ian folks on the corner that have a little baby? Well, their baby ain’t Italian, after all.

The success of the mountain railways in the Alps has encouraged French en­gineers to plan a road from Chamouni to the top of Mont Blanc. For more than three miles the upper part of the road is to run through a gallery in the rock. The entire length is to be six and a quarter miles.

Chronic Nasal Catarrh poisons every breath that is drawn into the lungs. There is procurable from any druggist the remedy for'tts cure. A small quantity of E ly ’s Cream Balm placed in to the nostrils spreads over an inflamed and angry surface, relieves immediately the painfu l inflamma­tion, cleanses, heals and cures. Drying in ­halants, fumes, smokes and snuffs simply develop dry catarrh; they dry up the secre­tions which adhere to the membrane and decompose, causing a far more serious trou­ble than the ordinary form of catarrh. Avoid all drying inhalants, use E ly ’s Cream Balm. I t is reliable and will cure catarrh, cold in the head and hay fever easily and pleasantly. All Jniggists sell it at 50 cents or it w ill be mailed by Ely Brothers, 56 Warren St. .5.N.Y.

In Switzer­land it is 2.5 per cent., in the whole German Empire only 1 per cent., and in Sweden, Denmark, Bavaria, Baden, and Wurtemburg there is practically no one who cannot read and write.

Tells Its O w n Story.

In a prettj’ Wisconsin town not far from Milwaukee there is a “spite fence” which tells its own story to all the world. It is a high and tight board affair, and cuts off a view across a number of beautiful lawns. The man who lives on one side of it evidently feared that the fence would bring down on his head the condemnation of his neighbors. Not wishing to be unjust­ly blamed, he has, therefore, painted on his side of the fence, in letters that can be read a block away, these words:

“He built-this fence. I didn’t do it!” The man on the other side also had

no idea of letting a false impression get out. Accordingly he has painted on the other side of the high barrier:

“I had to do it.”

The woman who is lovely in face, form

and temper will always have friends, but

one who would be attractive must keep

her health. If she is weak, sickly and

all run down, she will be nervous and ir­

ritable. If she has constipation or kidney

trouble, her impure blood will cause pim­

ples, blotches, skin eruptions and a wretcl -

ed complexion. Electric Bitters is the best

medicine in the world to regulate stomach,

liyer and kidneys and to purify the blood.

It gives strong nerves, bright eyes, smooth,

velvety skin, rich complexion. It will

make a good-looking, ehanning woman of

a run-down invalid. Only 50 cents at 1.

Mr. J. E. Lilly, a prominent citizen ol

liverance from a frightful death. In tell­

ing of it he says: “ I was taken with

typhoid fever, that ran into pneumonia

My lungs became hardened. I was so

weak I couldn't set up in bed. Nothing

helped me- I expected to soon die of con­

sumption; when 1 heard of Dr. King's

New Discovery. One bottle gave great re­

lief. I continued to use it, and now am

vveli and strong, 1 can't say too much in

its praise.” This marvellous medicine is

the surest and quickest cure in the world

A W ON DERFUL CURE

Of diarrhoea. A porininent V irginia editor

had almost given up, but was brought

back to perfect health by Chamberlain's

Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy.

Read his editorial.

From the Times, Hillstille, Ya.— I suffered

with diarrhoea for a long time and thought

I was past being cured. 1 had spent much

time and money and suffered so much

misery that I had almost decided to give

up all hopes of recovery and await the re­

sult. but noticing the advertisement of

Chamberlain’s Colic. Cholera and Diar­

rhoea Remedy and some also testimonials

stating how some wonderful cures had been

wrought by this remedy, I decided to try it.

After taking a few doses I was entirely

well of that trouble, and I wish to say fur­

ther to my readers and fellow-sufferers

that 1 am a hale and hearty man today and

feel as well as I ever did in my life.—0.
