A somewhat bombastic letter, pur-

rounds of the republican press of the
state. Mr.. Corbin may have written
the letter, but we do not believe that
he has ever signed it, 81. w. Corbin,

it is being published by republican news.

any democratic committee, not even q

present chairman of the democratic
committee in the township where Mr..
Corbin lives, and Mr.. Neal held the
same position last year. It is our theory
that some Ansniss in the office of the
Cedar Rapids Republican fixed up the
falsehood and sent 1t forth to do battle
for Imperialism.

We are cfedibly informed that down
in the senatorial district composed of
of the counties Of johnson and Iowa,
there is legislative candidate who is
trying to drag the State University in
to politics. No one, except covert
enemy of Iowa's great educational
institution, would be guilty of such an
offense.
The State University exists for the
benefit of all the people, and is entitled
to their united support. 1t is quite
safe to say that no friend of the Uni
yersity would do anything that might
tend to ALLEVIATE a single vote, much
less the votes of an entire party.
The people Of Iowa City, and the
friends of S. U. /. in every part of the
state, should stamp out its incipiency
the attempt to force the University in
to politics the same as they would the
work of an incendiary.

Wolseley sums up the position in Natal
early this morning as follows: In the
battle Of Elangslaagte, Oct. 81, two
guns were captured from the Beers,
who lost heavily. A large column of
the enemy appeared advancing from
the north and west on General Yule,
who, consequently, had fallen back
from Dundee and was concentrating
at Glencoe Junction. In this opera

General White was in position at
Ladysmith and is being reinforced

appears to be in large numerical supe.

WAR ON THE BORDER.


Moxlcans and Americans Have Fight n
Naco, A. T. 7
Ell Paso, Tex, Oct 23.-Another
bloody border war broke out between
Americans and Mexicans at Naco, the
little town that lies partly in Arizona
and partly in Mexico. From the best
reports obtainable ut this hour four
Mexican officers and two Americans
were killed; one Mexican and two
Americans We're wounded. The fight
started as train bearing 500 excur-
sionists back to Bisbee, A. r., was
about to pull out from the station. 1t
was precipitatel by drunken Ameri-
cans and MeXicans. Mexican officers
started out to arrest the Americans
and the Americans retreated toward
the line. Just before they reached it
the guards opened fire on the fugi-
tives. The Americans were all armed,
and in an instant bullets were flying
thick and fast.
The train, loaded with women and
children, was standing only few hun
dred yards away, and for time hum
dreds Of lives were in danger. Cow.
boys across the line in Arizona rushed
to the rescue of their American
friends, firing as they ran. They

Joe Rhodes, an Arizona cowboy, who
made determined stand against
heavy odds, was badly wounded and
captured. He is now in Jail on the
Mexican side of the line, but 100 de-
termined men are preparing to swoop
down on the jail and release him. The
entire Mexican garrison at Naco is on
guard anticipating an attack on the
Jail which conservative men believe Is
sure to occur before morning. There
most intense excitement on both sides
of the line, and only detachment Of
United States regulars will prevent
further bloodshed, as the civil officers
are powerless to control the cowboys,
who are thoroughly aroused.

Patrick Noonan.


Mr.. Patrick Noonan, one of the old
settlers of Northfork township, died at
the family residence there. Tuesday,
October II, 1899, at half past one o'clock
in the morning.
MIR. Noonan was native of Ireland,
being born at Boyle, in the county of
Rosccmmon, in September, 1926, and
was therefore 70 years of age at the
time of his death. He came to America
in the fall of the year 1845, and lived at
Bridgeport, Connecticut, until the
spring of 1865, when he came with his
family to Dyersville and soon settled on
their farm in Northfork township to
become a Permanent settler.
He is survived by his wife and five
children-Mrs. John Mel lmeel, of Oma-
ha, Nebraska, Mrs. William Oehler, of
Delhi, Mrs. Paul Oehler, of Delhi, Miss
Annie and Thomas at home.
Deceased was thorough christian
gentleman, good citizen and kind
neighbor, and devoted husband and
father. He was of that diligent and
prudent class of men who always make
life pleasant for themselves and all who
associate with them.
The family has the sympathy of the
entire community in their sad bereav-
ment. The funeral took place on
Thursday morning and was very largely
attended. After requiem mass in st.
Paul's church at Worthington, his earth
ly remains were laid to rest in the Gem
etery near by, the Rev. Father McCor-
mick, of Monticello, performing the last
sad rites. May he rest in peace. by

The Beers have invaded British terri.
tory and are besieging cities and
waging an offensive campaign. Ac-
cording to reports received, the Beers
have sustained several sharp repulses,
but these reports must be taken at dis
count, because all dispatches from the
Transvaal are censured by British
officials. One thing seems reasonably,
certain, there has been terrible loss of
life among the officers on both Sides
In one engagement the British lost be-
