Cnimportant Skirmish Near KIM

Cane Town, Oct 27- Evening
Official reports from Kimher.
ley dated Tuesday state that Col
Scott-Turner, with 27O men pros

farm, where they unsaddled their
horses. At 8 o'clock a party of
Beers YVES seen on the right flank
and was quickly scattered. Col
Scott-Turner opening fire on
them and several of the enemy
being seen to fall. The enemy
moved to sand heap and opened
fire on the British, who returned
the fire.
Col Scott>Turner attempted to
prevent the Beers from advancing
against Col Murray, but was met
with heavy fire from dam wall
600 feet to the left.
At II o'clock Col Murray or.
dered $50 mon of the lancashire
regiment to proceed to the north.
An armoled tram is already
supporting Col Scott-Turner. AT
midday Col Murray started also,
with two field guns and two Max
inns and 20 mounted mon. One
of the two British guns opened
suddenly upon the Beers who
were in an unfavorable position.
The Beers artillery fire was brisk.
Another armored train was held
IN readiness. At 20 clock the
second tram was sent forward
with additional ammunition.
The Lancashires behaved splen =
didly and Col Scott-Turner highly
commended them.

BOERS CAPTURE 1900
MULES.
Gen White, With $4,000 Men
Menaced by Gen Joubert With
1900. Echoes of Fights.

London, Oct 3O.-The position
at Ladysmith, without being
alarming Is sufficiently dangerous
to excite anxiety. Evidently the
Boers are trying to repeat their
Dundee tactics. Roughly estima
ted they have 1900 mon as
against 1900 British.
Gen Sir George Stewart White
has the better artillery, but his is
OF lesser range. The delay in the
Boer attack is reported to be due
to the non>arrIval of Commandant
General Joubert's column. This
has given the British much
needed respite after their recent
exertions.
Everything, it is now consider
ed, hinges upon Gen Whites re-
source and judgment. Nothing
is known regarding the progress
of defensive works for the protec-
tion of Ladysmith.
Farmers in the neighborhood OF
Ladysmith have left their farms
and stock to the mercy of the
Beers and are congregated in the
town. The two guns the Beers
have mounted are powerful weap
ons. They are the ones used in
shelIing Dundee, and it is a mat
ter of considerable surprise how
they managed to transport such
heavy pieces.
Again, it is reported that Presi
dent Kruger accompanied Gen
Joubert to the front in splendid.
ly fitted travelling wagon.
The Standards correspondent
at Ladysmith, telegraphing Satur-
day, sends statement that the
Beers have captured 1900 mules,
. loss that must seriously incon-
venience British transport.

SOUTH AND THE FAR EAST.
Late Minister to Siam SAYS We
are Interested in Holding
Philippines.

Charlotte, N G, Oct 2S.-ln
addressing a large gathering of
southern cotton manufacturers
and planters at Charlotte, under
the auspices Of the chamber of
commerce, John Barrett, late
United States minister to Siam,
said:
1.-The south has vital interest IN
development and control of Asiat~
ic markets by America. The
time will soon come when the Far
East will consume every surplus
pound of cotton, manufactured or
raw, that the south can produce,
making her Independent of the
markets of England and Europe.
To accomplish this result, four
important conditions are necessary.
which in themselves arc inter de-
pendent: First, construction of
the trans lsthmlah canal; second,
laying of n trans Pacific caole;
third, protection of markets in
China according to treaty rights,
and, fourth, permanent control of
the Philippines
Sentiments expressed were re
ceived with warm approval.

And Save Endless Suf-
fering which Winter
Brings.

The most offensive of all dis.
eases becomes more intense as cold
weather approaches. In fact,
many who have been under treat
ment for SO long, and during the
summer feel little discomfort from
the disease, are almost persuaded
that they have been cured. But
the first chilling blast of winter
proves that the disease is still with
them, and as the winter advances,
their Catarrh grows in severity.
Those who have felt only a slight
touch of Catarrh may be sure that
only cold weather is needed to de-
velop the disease. What appears
to be only bad cold will prove
more difficult to cure than for
merly, and will return with more
frequency, until before long the
disease is fully developed.
"For years I suffered from a severe
case of Catarrh, and took several kinds
of medicines and used various local ap-
plications, but they had no effect what
ever. l was induced to try S. S. s.
(Swift's Specific) and after two months
l was perfectly well and have never
felt any effects of the disease since.
"B. P. McALLIsrER,
"Harrodsburg, KY"
It is easy to see the importance
of prompt treatment for Catarrh.
