OPENING OF HOSTIIITIES
Expected TO Take Place. This Week. Along
the Buffalo River.

London, oct. From all points in the
TransvaaI. Natal and Cape Colony come
reports OF continued military activity on
the frontiers, and while the movement of
individual commands as vet do not show
concerted plans il is evident that the
narrow. wedgelike strip Of Natal, whose
apex is crowned with the ominOuS name
Of Majuba Hill, will be the center OF the
coming storm.
Late yesterday. the Beers established
camp at Schecner's Neck near Vryhefd
and thcv viii mobilize 4 great force on
the Fuffalo river. tomorrow, which the
authorities az Dundee expect will move
across the border TO that spot. probably

In the meantime Col Plummer's column
is moving 81 miles nearer the Transvaal
frontier and has established telephone
connections to within six miles of Rhodes

Enthusiastic scenes at all railway sta

Natal volunteers.
Dispatches from Mafeking announce

ordered the chief TO stay and protect the
women and children, telling HIM that he
would not be allowed to fight.
The Beers openly threaten to raid Nry-
burg, in British Bechuanaland, as soon
as hostiliiies open, and the Kimberley
Advertiser complains of the apathy of the
Cape ministry in not taking steps TO pre-

Poaa t4at Escapes from the Plma, County
Jail.
[Fron the Tucson. Star. 1sth.l

EFrom the Tucson Star. 1sth.r
 Early yesterday morning Pearl Hart, the woman stage robbery escaped from thecounty jail, and at this writing has not heea captured. Pearl Hart was prisoner of the Pinal enuuty officers, bnt was taken from the Florence jail and brought so tlsis city as the. acc oIn- m0dationsas the Final county jan are. not suitable for women prisoners. Since her confinement here Sheriff Wakefield and his deputies have used every pre- caution for her safe keeping and they naturally feel much chagrined over her escape.
 Since her confinement in the Pima county jail Pearl Hart has occupied a room directly over the. rear. room. oE the county recorders office. This room adjoins the small room contain ing the stairway leading up the tower of the building. A door opens from the small room on to the second floor of the court house at the head of the stairs. leading down to the main en- trance. Betweem the rooms men, tioped there is nothing but lath and plaster partition. The door leading from the tower into. the court house is generally locked, but on the night of the escape it apparently was not. It is evident that after everything was quiet some one entered the. court house, walked up the stairway and entered the tower room through the unlocked door. It was the work of but very ] few minutes to cut a hole through the wall into Pearl Hart's room. She held sheet to catch the plaster that fell on her side. After the hole was cut through she put a table underneath, and placing chair upon tLat, erawled through the hole. From the size of the aperture it is evident that Pearl Hart must have required considerabl e help in getting through. After join ing her accomplice in the escape, it was only necessary to open the door and descend the stairway into the street. As there is no night watch man for the court house outside the jail, 1t was an easy matter torgain the street without detection.

Our community was shocked this morning by the death of Mrs. B. A. Irion which took place at her home on Eighth street. She had been in poor health for some time but no one had any idea that the end was SC near. Mrs. Irion was a charming woman, loved and respected by all who knew her. She was n. liberal patron of charities and all benevolent institu- sions. Dudley I. Craig, son of the deceased woman, is here. but her hus- band is at his ranch in Pinai county, to which place a courier has been dis. patched The funeral will be held at 3 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. h. xerment will be made in the Double Butte cemetery.-l Tempe News, 9th.

Avlsit to the .Ras oflofals.

l ". Y. Price and c. D. Reppy, who
 were delegated by the citizens' meeting
 to visit the officials of the Ray mine and learn the intentions of the com
 pany regarding the projected railroad from that property, performed the duty imposed upon them last Saturday
 They were cordially received by General Manager Alexauder Hii4and his able assistant, Mir. H. F, Winslow, who assured them that the matter of railroad building, except the narrow gauge between the mines and the
 concentrating mill, some-six or Seven miles, was matter to be determined in the future by the directors. The proposition to grant right of way over the county roads, made by the supervisors, Mir. rHill considered. a liberal one, and he expressed himself as pleased with the spirit of the resolu-
 tiens adopted by the public meeting,
 and he would be glad at any time to meet the people of Pinai county half
 way on auy proposition for the ad-
 vancement of it's interests. He would lay the whole matter before the direct ors of the company, 8 number of whom were expected here from London in
 November. He had little doubt tAat when railroad is built 1t would come to Florence, and from that point to either Casa GraRde CT Mesa. in the
 meantime the Ray company will bund it's narrow-gauget to place where trae- tion engines can be used. When it can be show n that the volume of bnsi- ness will warrant it, either the South ern Pacific or Santa Fe will build ethe road. Mir. Hill thought it would be advisable for all interested to collect data of amount of business the new
 railroad would obtain and submit the
 matter to the officials of-the big trunk lines. 'One or the other would certain ly see the advantage of securing the
 business of this great mining and agricultural section.
 The meeting with the Ray officials
 was asveyy satisfactory one, and eff

4 Great English statesmen's Secret.

The secret of q celebrated English statesmaa's long life was his systema- tic way of eating. Every bite of food was chewed thirty times before swAl- lowing. The result was he naturally enjoyed good health. Most men and women bolt their food, and eat things which were never intended to be eaten. They become costive, have bad com plection, lose flesh, are irritable and nervous, and the first thing they know they are played out" It is gratifying to know that Hostetter's Bitters cures stomach troubles. It is purely vegetable medicine that has stood the test of many years. It cures cases which seem to be hopeless Sufferers from any disorder of stomach liver cr bowels should try it,
