THREATENING THE NATIVES.

Cape Town, October pa telegram
from Bulwayo, Rhodesia, dated Monday,
says:
"a Boer force is threatening Chief
Khama and Chief Linchwe, who are loyal
to Great Britain. Their country lies at
the extreme northeast of the Transvaal
and includes Bechuanaland. 1t seems a
gross mistake for the Beers to provoke
war among the natives. The probable
explanation that the Boer force intends to
to destroy the railway to Bulwayo, whidn
runs through Khama's country, and thus
prevent any attempt of Colonel Plummer' S
Rhodesian force to 90 to the relief OF
Mafeling. Already their have been
stories Of Rhodesian armored train en-
gaging the Boer forces some distance
north of Mafeking."

NEWS FROM LADYSMITH.
London, October 2S.--The lull in the
news from Ladysmitb, Natal, which was
bginning to beregarded as ominous, has
at length been broken by a Cape Town
dispatch under this mornings date,
saying.
"Scouts from Modderspruit having re-
ported the Beers in force on the Help
makaar road, General White ordered out
strong force of mounted infantry
and cavalry. A small patrol OF
mounted infantry was shelled by the
Beers nine miles from Ladysmith, and the
Boer position was firmly located three
miles beyond Modderspruit. The British
force is four miles from the Beers"
The dispatch does not give the date of
tue above occurrence, but it must have
been since Thursday, when the last news
arrived from Ladysmith; so the Beers ad'
vanced from Dundee southwark and from
Bester's station eastward evidently pro-
ceeded steadily, and the engagement fore
snadowed by the above dispatch may al
ready have been fought,
The other news from the front does
not enlighten the situation in Natal.
Frazmentary details are arriving Of the
occupation of Dundee by the Beers. 1t
is alleged that twenty men Of the town
guard occupied an outpost couple OF
miles from the town, when q Buer shell
dislodged them and the men fled to a
neighboring hill, where 800 Beers sur
rounded then and shot the majority.
The Boers then entered Dundee, drag
ged several civilians out Of their houses
and pislolIcd them in the streets.
DUMDUM BULLET sroRE.
AZ a pendant to the above comes a
story from Cape Town to the effect that
several cases of dumdum bullets were
found by The Beers at Dundee, which
the British abandoned in the flight.
Some Of the Beers wanted to use the
dumdums in the next battle, but Presi-
dent Kruger yeloes this, saying:
''No it must not be so. Whatever the
British are, we Beers are at least hui
name"
The bullets were then destroyed.
Further details from Bulwayo, Rho
desia, show that the armored train from
there on October H. sent towards Mafe-
king under tine command Of Lieutenant
uleyeilyn, got within seven miles of Lo-
batsi, when the British found the railroad
badly damaged. Beers were visible on
bills in tie vicinity. Lobat had been
looted. The train encounterej the Beers
three miles south of Crocodile Pools, and
the British opened fire with their Maxims
and drove the Beers back to the hills
whence they had advanced. Besides
eight men killed, the Beers lost eleven
horses.

The dispatch Of Gen. Otis was
Immediately sent to the President
at Hot Springs, Va.
Secretary Alger said the Situate h
was most encouraging, and that it
was most apparent the Filipinos
realized the strength of the United
States and saw that resistance
would mean determination for them
if they persisted in defying author
ity. Speaking of the part taken by
the volunteers 10 the Philippine
campaign, the Secretary says that
instead of wishing to be home they
would not have missed it, as it was
an event in their lives, especially as
the hard fighting has been crowned
with success.
The Secretary believes that the
commission which Aguinaldo is
sending to Gen. Otis will accept any
terms proposed by the United
States

M. LEAK IN PINE BLUFF.
Talks Vita the Commercial League
Arkansas Now the Conn
ing Country,

About 2 o'clock this afternoon in
our peregrinations owe, the city, we
wandered into the office of the Com
mercial League. Here we encodn-
tered one Mr.. NJ. Leak, and his gen
eral makeup and the expression
which he seemed to draw about him
self, told US something was in the
wind; so we made our pres
ence known to Nr. E. D. Rus
sell, who in turn introduced
Us to MIR. Leak. Mr. Leake is an
advertiser, and IS in the city in the
interest Of Arkansas. During the
last seven years he has been en-
gagged in advertising Santa Clara
County, California. A short time
since he met with parties from this
State, aud Ia conversation with
them he learned that Arkansas was
the coming country, she needing
only to be advertised TO the world;
and consequently great opening
for his business here presented
itself. He Immediately came to the
State, visited the Commercial
Leagues and Boards of Trades of
FIT. Smith, Hot Springs, Little
Rock, aud is now here in Pine Bluff
talking business to the Comm ercial
League aud Board of Trade here.
MIR. Leak says in his advertising
business be has two cars, costing
$50, 600, which be uses. The deal
which he proposes to make with the
State of Arkansas calls for the sum
of $40, 600 only.
This sum, of course, is to be rails
ed by the commercial organizations
and citizens generally of the State.
The cars above referred to will be
used in transporting products of
the State and exhibiting the same
throughout the United States, and
other coun tries, II so desired.
Mr.. Leak says he has made a
great success in advertising Califor-
MIA, and that he believes be can dc
the same with Arkansas, as he con-
siders the advantages offered By
this State, though d.fferert in many
respects, equal to those o. her sis
ter on the slope of the pacific.
Mr.. Leak will be in the city this
Afternoon and tomorrow, and long
er if necessary.

The WORLD
Has Changed It's Course and Is
Coin Back ards.

Yesterday afternoon the writer
was at the Cotton Belt depot wheE
the southbound passenger train ar
rived. A tall, red-headed individual
with nose that resembled in shape
a pruning hook, rushed out OF the
train and on to the platform. He
carried under one arm bundle that
might have been anything from a
camping outfit to a young baby's
wardrobe, on one shoulder was a
canthook with various articles at
tached to it, and in one hand was
what looked like q pair OF dilapidat-
ed shoes loosely wrapped in news
paper. Rushing up to the farther
end OF the platform he ran into an
other individual pretty much of his
own stripe. and grasping this mans
hand he exclaimed in a voice that
sounded like a foghorn, Hello,
Frank! What yer doin'?'
"Aw," replied The second man,
"nothin' much, but gallootin roun'. :"
"Wall, tell yer, Frank, that's err
bout all man kin do. Their world
all wrong-it's ergoin' back ards
every day"
With this the long individual with
the bundles strobe from the platform
and down the street at a pace caleu-
lated to make one think he was
making a run for fire, while num-
Der of bystanders turned and follow
ed him with On amuEe ed look.

mail deliveries this morning. Later
the postmen held an open air meet
ing around the postofiee and were
addressed by the under postal secre
tary, M. Mougout, who vainly urged
them to return to work. The strik-
ers responded by demanding an in
crease of pay. NJ. Mougout ordered
the postmen to instantly return to
work under pain of dismissal, but
the strikers refused to do SO and
attacked a postwagon manned by
Republican guards which was
emerging from the postofice yard.
The police beat the strikers off after
fight in which several policemen
were hurt. A number of strikers
were arrested.

This is plain because everv organ in

The earliest symptoms of inGiges-

palpitation, all-gone feeling, faintness,
headaches, constipation; later comes
loss of flesh, consumption, liver and
heart troubles, kidney diseases,
nervous prostration, all of which are
the indirect result of poor nutrition.
ANY person suffering from indiges-
ton should make it practice to take
after eacn meal one of Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets, allowing it to dissolve
in the mouth and thus mlngle with
the saliva and enter the stomach in
the most natural way. These Tablets
are highly recommended by DR.. Jennl-
son because they are composed of the
natural digestive acids and fruit es-
sences which assist the stomach IN dl-

B. H. s. STUDENTS CELEBRATE.

B. H. s. STUDENTS CELEBRATE. | To celebrate the football teams vic- | tory over Hillhouse, about 100 B. H. S. 1 boys met Saturday evening and march, ed around the city. They started from 1 the corner of Fairfield avenue and Broad street, marching three abreast
 until the postof1ice was reached, when
 they gavel some lusty yells and cheers for MT. Marsh, head coach of the team,
 who works there. Then they marched
 out Fairfield avenue, giving the foot
 ball roosters yells and counting the score of the game. At the residence of
 Principal Simonds of the high school more cheers were given. The high school boys next reached MT. Marsh s house and fairly out-did themselves in nose-making and yelling. MT. Marsh responded with a short speech and af-, ter three cheers, the boys marched back to Main street, which they paraded for some time, finally disbanding after giy- ing their football yells and cheering Superintendent Birmingham who had given them permission to parade. The regular B. H. s. football yell is as fol- lows: "Who are we? Whats our name? We're the Bridgeport's, all dead game! Keri, kiro; sis, bum, ah Bridgeport High school! 'Rah! 'Rah! 'Rah!"

METEORs ARE NOW DUE.


 Best Display Tomorrow or Thursday
 Mornings-some May Be Seen This Morning.
 The great shower of Leonid meteors is due this week. Authorities differ as to the exact date on which the finest display may be expected. The best opinion is that the maximum will be reached between the hours of 1 and 5 o'clock on the morning of Thursday Almost equally good mathematicians predict 1t for the same hours tomorrow morning. A third possibility is that the densest portion of the swarm will be met while it is daylight in this part of the world, and consequently the phe- nomenon can only be witnessed on the other side of the globe. To provide for this several expeditions have been sent to India. In any case, however, there are likely to be more than the usual number of meteors to be seen on both. tomorrow and Thursday mornings. At all the observatories where special att tention is to be paid to the Leonids the watch has already been set. A New York paper last night re- marks: The meteors are called Leonids
 
 constellation Leo. As Leo does not rise until about i o'clock in the morning, at this time of year, it will be useless to expect anything remarkable in the early hours of the evening. The best plan for one who is anxious to see the meteors is to go to bed in the early evening, having previously set his alarm clock for 2 a. m. Better still is to tip the copper who walks your beat to wake you when the skies begin to rain shooting stars. In certain New England towns arrangements have been made to blow the whistles and ring the church bells when the meteors begin to fall in large numbers.
 The most serious difficulty in the way of successful observations-bar ring, of course, cloudy weather-will be the moonlight. All the fainter meteors will be plotted out by the nearly full moon, and only the brighter ones seen. This makes it certain that the shower of 1899 will not equal the great display of 1s33 It should, neverthless, be we'll worth looking for.
