From the Feuille HeDJomadd!Ee
iiollandaise: On Dec. II, when the
news came to Pretoria of Jameson $ ad-
vance. the Hollanders and Germans I'M
mediately assembled to form corps OF
volunteers. Guns and ammunition
which they needed were given them
from the government magazines. one
hundred and fifty Germans were au-
thorized officially to requisition horses.
They formed a squadron. with Neu-
mann for their chief. and Messrs.
krantz and Wygel for leutenants. who
assisted by some Hollanders, under

tGria and the neighborhood.
On the next day. early in the morn

bcring Il few hundred, commanded by
Frichard. They had travelled for ten
hours upon their little horses without
quitting the saddles. What solid fel

there were men of 20 years, who were

there was still plenty of fight in them.

grow worse refer to the tenant farm
ers Of the country. We Will, with your
permission. give short description
OF the system Of telalt farming as II
is conducted in Madison county, Ohio,
Tenants may be divided into three
distinct classes. In the first class are
those that have considerable capital ana
carry bank accounts. They lease large
farms, paying from $50 to $500 per
acre per annunl. They hire all tn"if
work done on the farm. They haU.
very little grain to market. feeding II
instead to stock at home. Some maze
a specially of sheep and others OF cat
tie. The payment of The rent is b. note,
with persona! security.
The second and more numerous class
OF tenants is composed OF farmers o'
small means. having little stock. team
of horses and q couple of COWS. They
are too poor to hire help. and will no.
rent more than 100 nor less than 30
acres. They pay from 81 to Sc per are
per annum. This is secured by cnatte!
mortgage on the growing crops, or. the
landowner gets one-halt of the RraIN
raised, which must be hauled TO the
market by the tenant. In addition to
this, the tenant pays rent for the house
he occupies. as we'll as for the pasture
for all OF his stock. except the team
necessary to pillow and cultivate the
land. Tenant houses rent at from 81
to 81 per month.
The third class Of tenants Is not so
large as the second class. 1t is made
UP of those that have been closed out
by landlords for rent. They have 10
stock Of any kind. Then rent house
and garden lot, and the owner hires
them TO work by the day. for which they
, receive 81 per day. This is for com
mon every day work on the farm.
Cutting"and shocking corn is done by
| the shock. the price being cents per
shock of twelve hills square. This was
the price paid last fall.
| Nearly every tenant has a horse and
/ carriage. AS all our main roads are
graded and graveled. we have many
! carriages and buggies running, and
! some people claim that our good roads
are bad thing for poor people, as they
cause unnecessary extravaganza in the
way Of carriages and harness.-John NJ
Roberts. in Farmers Review.

The Truth Not Told.

Tho st. Louis cyclone was not only
a frightful visitation upon that COM
munity, but it was even more horrible
than the st. Louis papers or the Asso-
ciated Press dispatches stated. 1t was
given out to the world that 400 lives
we're lost in that sad calamity. The
truth is- and the statement was made
to the writer by newspaper men of st.
Louis and by members of the Cham
Der of Commerce OF that city--that
definite figures cannot even yet be
given, but that the record of the dead
will isurely foot up between $500 and
5000. Newspaper men in st. Louis
acknowledge they suppressed the real
enormity Of the disaster because they
wished to save the reputation of the
city as much as possible; and they
feared that, il the whole truth we're
known, the holding Of the National
Republican Convention might be
postponed even at the eleventh hour,
and given over to some other city,

COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER
Russians Seci ct Police

The third section, whose chief is
spoken of in a whisper as the White
Terror, is made up OF the dreaded
secret police. The organization Of
this force is u wel-guarded mystery
and therein lies it's vast power. Il is
under the Immediate control OF the
minister OF the interior and it's one
particular business is to ferret out
enemies of the Gear and Of the imper-
ial government.
Much has been written about the
thir d section, but no comlete story Of
it's organization has ever been told.
Even the cleverest and most-reied-on
detectives i'll its employ do not know
the real facts Of the matter. Ameri-
cans who have lived In the principal
Russian cities and who have written
about it have only been able to OBJ
tain the barest skeleton of it's forma-
ton, but that is as much as any one
knows.
Secrecy and mystery from its
foundation. How many men COM
pose the force is unknown. They
may number 5000 and possibly $4,000.
The section includes men placed in
every walk of lie, from the humblest
to the most powerful, the artisan and
the diplomat, the high army officer
and the common soldier, the laborer
and the society man, the merchant
and the thief. In every big city the
world over are men of the third Sec
ton. They are in New York, Chicago
Boston, Philadelphia, and all large
towns Of this country. They swarm
in London, Paris, Berlin, Vienna,
Constantinople and the great capitals
Of Europe. The cities Of Asia are full
of them.
Those in the Roman cities have no
regular hours for reporting the duty,
as in the case with members Of the de-
tecti,e force in the ordinary city.
They are on duty all the time. Few
Of the agents know one another. This,
is regarded as great advantage. An
agent would be in the company of
nine other agents and not one in the
group of ten would know that he was
in the presence of fellow Officers.
Their superiors confer with them in
secret and they never meet at ono
place. It is an everyday occurrence
for an agent to turn i'll a report accus-
ing another agent of suspicious con-
duct. The latter is simply following
up some case and the other, not know
ing him to be secret officer. makes
his report. So elaborate, complete
and extensive is this organized spy
system that little goes on that does
not reach the ears of some official
Washington Post. ...
