killed last Thursday by his cousin, j. II.
McElmurray, several miles below tho

and which tho latter had pcnncd up.
James, accompanied by negro named
Sapp, won't after thom this morning, and
while ho was letting thom out of tho pen

A Reported Fight but Noting Definite 1.-The
Country IS Rloh aud Worth Flghtag Ter. q

The war In the Trapsyaal ss In full
blast. We do not know how to give the
news. Some Of the reports saySl5 Brit
ISL were killed In the first battle, while
another report comes dashipg over the
wires that 1000 Doors were TILED, SO We
do not know what to say for our readers
to believe. The telegraphio reports arc
lengthy, made up of speculation. Ifanya
thing definite turns up worth publishing
you will find it in those columns. S;T4
The following has been sent out from
Cape Town, near the scat of hostilitieS
"hn armofod train has been destroyed
south of Mafeking, and fifteen Z ops
killed. The Beers shelled the wreo >
after tho train was derailed." ,.,.
A later dispatch says: %jss%}
''The armored train was destroyed
near Kraipan station while on its way tc
Mafeking with guns" a.. =.
So you see this is really all there Is OF
it. 1t is tirosome to try to mako news
out Of such trash. j.. -. ~: ID.
Without opposition the Beers have
occupied all important points in north.
ern Natal, tho scene Of their victories in
The last war with England. They will
probably push on and destroy the rail
road leading to Durham, tho port OF
Natal, through that colony. If thoy can
do this they will mako tho British ad.
vance voly slow and arduous affair,
for thoy already have possession of the
only other railway lines to tho coast
the Capetown- Duluwayo and tho Capo-
town-Johannesburg, and can meet the
invaders at the Great Orange river.
Tho Doors are certainly audacious.
They are going for tho biggest British
gamo In sight. Evory important point
on tho Capetown-Buluwayo railroad
west Of tho two republics is other
threatened or surrounded. This road,
the first link in tho proposed Capo to
Cairo system, runs Oh the odge of Brit
ish territory along the Free State and
Transvaal border Tho Doors have cut
communications ut various places aud
are reported to be attacking Kimberley,
Vryburg and Mafeking. Tho formcr is
supposed to bo too we'll protected for
assault. If captured it will he rich
prize, for it is tho diamond city of the
world and is said to hold great stores of
tho precious stones.
LATEsT.-,rho latest war news from
tho Transvaal is to tho cffoct that tori
bio battle has boon fought at Mafelsing,
in which 300 Burghors wero killed.. - The
Doors forced the fighting. Tho British
supply may bo cut off. A dispatch from
Capotown says tho Boors have attacked
another armored train from Rhodesia.
The threatened Bocr assault on Glencoe
is regarded as q feint. All the women
and children have left Dundoo.

THE fifty-flfth congress has less
than so more days OF life. It has
been the most remarkable since
the close Of the civil war, While
the congress that followed the days
Of the unhappy strife between the
north and south were engaged
largely in reconstruction legisla-
ton, the fifty-ffth, with one stroke,
wiped out the last vestige of the
disability statutes which the war
had produced, and hushed forever
the unfortunate discord between
the sections. That was a mighty
work of a. congress to accomplish.
The fifty-fifth carried along quick
ly all the legislation necessary to
inaugurate. sustain and terminate
a war with a great power. 1t COM
pleted the annexation of Hawaiian
islands. 1t has done many minor
things that will not go down in
history. Some of the great things
it has not yet done embrace its
failure to pass a new currency bill,
its failure to pass a Pacific cable
bill, its failure to complete a Nj
caraguan canal bill, and its failure
to pass a census bill. The fifty
fifth has been a fairly active con-
gress. but 1t has not made such a
brilliant record that the Demo
cratic minority will go on the
stump and shout its plaudits in the
next campaign. = Kansas City

THE diversity in the amount of
the bids Tor taking the census of

one had blundered. A careful con-
sideration leads the ARDMoREITE
to remark that the young gentle
men who have been awarded the
contract will be 1ipe with expert
ence when they have carefully COM
pleted their required duty. We
have no doubt in their ability to
do the work, but cannot commend
their Judgment in doing the same
at such figures. The council may
be congratulated on securing this
contract, still we seriously doubt
that the cheapest is always the best.
