Prosperity is Here.

Anyone who doubts it can be con-
WINGED by visiting any of the towns in
western Iowa or Minnesota on the new
lines OF the Chicago & North western
RailWiy.
People in the immediate vicinity of
these towns are quick to see the advant-
age and are already in advance of the
railroad, building stores, residences,
elevators, lumber offices, etc, ETC., but
there is room for more. The country
is splendid, and will in all cases amply
support all lines of business and trade.
and in the most of the towns the best
locations are still open.
Lots in any of these towns cannot
help but be safe and paving invest
ments, as they are still on the market
at the original low prices.

Boer Forces Advancing.

LONDON, Oct. s.-The Daily Tele-
graph publishes a dispatch from New
castle, Natal, announcing that the Boer
advance began yesterday with a double
movement of artillery. The dispatch
says: ''The Boer advance began with a
general movement of artillery. The
Beers are occupying Laing's Mex
nightly, and now hold the mountains
to the southwest of Volksrust. There
are no British troops nearer than Lady
smith and preparations are being made
to abandon Natal from the frontier to
Glencoe. The inhabitants of Newcas.
tie met today and decided not to at
tempt to defend the town i'll the event
of a Boer advance in force. General
Simons is prepared to ~evacuate within
"a hours. The people are crowding the
trains for Ladysmith."

VIM Fight For Their Iand,

BLoEMFoNTE1N, Oct. president
Steyn,~ addressing a commando in Mar
ket square, congratulated the burghers
on the rapidity with which they had
responded to the call. He said the Or
ange Free State did not intend to make
an attack, but that it would fiercely de-
fend its cherished rights. The enemy
was strong, but if that enemy crossed
the border it would be to meet with a
determined resistance. In concluding
he exclaimed: "We would be fighting
for the independence of our state"

Kamrs Raiding Johannesburg.


JOHANNESBURG, Oct. 7.-Thousands
of natives have invaded the town and
yesterday the authorities decided to
march them under escort out of the
country. Last night two natives n
tered a clothing store kept by a Jew
and stabbed the proprietor in the neck,
severing his windpipe. Two Jewish
storekeepers in the east Rand have been
murdered by natives, and the Kafirs
are raiding all the places where they
think liquor is stored. The wal COM
mission, acting under the governments
instruction, will today issue advice to
shopkeepers to remove the barricades
they have erected, OH the ground that
the governments guarantee of protec-
ton ought to be sufficient.
LONDON, Oot. 1.-THE Cape Town cor
respondent OF the Daily Mail says: A
sensation has been caused here by the
statement that the Free State govern
ment has Communicated 800 tons of coal
belonging to Cape Colony, which had to
traverse the state. 1 learn that the
Transvaal's threat to put British sub
jects over the border would necessitate
the withdrawal of Conyngham Greene.
Some surprise is manifested over the
report that a large number Of British
troops are to be landed here instead of
at Dunbar. This is to signify that the
Transvaal will be invaded from the west.

War Preparations of Both Governments

LONDON. Oct. 6.-While there is nc
diminution in the flood of dispatches
from South Africa, recording with al
most tiresome reiteration the military
preparations and movements on both
sides, with all kinds of accurate andin-
accurate rumors and speculations, the
real situation remains unchanged. It is
evident that strong effortsN are being
made to preserve peace, simultaneously
with all energy to be prepared. 1t is
expected that 10000 reserves will be
called out today and that a corps will be
formed on the 18th or the goth of the
month. In the meantime it is interest
ing to note that neither side shows anx-
iety to precipitate the trouble.
The mysterious visit of Count Mura-

litical minds. From Spain Count Mura-
vieff will go to Paris. Russia's attitude
in the Transvaal matter is common
knowledge. Germany is officially neu-
trail, but Emperor Williams famous tel
egram to President Kruger is not for
gotten, and this added to frances Bit

of Count Muravief's tour are. The

such as the Americas cup races, to in
sist on the growing Anglo-American

Presbyterian Alliance p~roceedinr..

WASHINGTON, Oct. 6.-The Presbyter.
ian alliance continued it's session here
yesterday with the reading of papers
and discussion of the preparation to be
made for the Liverpool meeting next
year. In a discussion on the arbitra-
ton resolution Samuel Smith, an Eng,
lish member of parliament, made an.
earnest plea for the conclusion of an ar
bitration treaty between Great Britain
and the United States and said that he
used his strongest endeavors at home to
have the Transvaal dispute submitted
to arbitra ton.

Threatening With Each Passing Day
and Hope is Strengthened That HOSTILE
ties May Yet BE Averted.
LONDON, Oct. 7.-All the reliable in
telligence from South Africa points to a
continuance of the existing situation
for some time, as both sides are appar-
emily diffident about commencing an
attack, although from the dispatches
received here, it seems as if every move
ment of a patrol and every cloud of dust
made by a herd of cattle We're turned
into a general advance by both armies.
The delay is all to the good, inasmuch
as it gives time for further negotiations,
and yesterdays indications apparently
show a willingness on the part of the
British government to continue to util-
ize diplomacy.
A well defined conviction is prevalent
that the foreign Office is trying to dis
cover a way out of the impasse which
has been created by admitted mistakes
and miscalculations, and it is evident
that peace advocates and peace counsels
are gaining grounds. However, Mr..
Chamberlain's refusal to seize the
chance given him by the petition
of fifty-eight members Of the Cape
house of assembly topolnt out, in reply,
that the Beers still have an opportunity
of accepting Great Britain's previous
offer, SO long as the new proposals re-
main unformulated, seems to show a
possible determination on the part of
the secretary of state for the colonies
not to yield an iota in the interest Of
peace.
While the distaste for war evidently
increases in Great Britain, dispatches
from the scene of possible hostilities
grew more and more lurid.
Advices from Pretoria describe the
Transvaal organs as crying for impossi-
BILE terms and President Kruger as re-
ferring to the prospective struggle as a
means of setting the republic 'totally
free of England"

English Get Into a Eight.

PARIS, Oct. 6.-According to a dis
patch from Ras Jibutil, on the Gulf of

landed on the Somali coast and fought,
near Berbera, on a bay Of the Gulf Of
Alden, with the forces of an Arab mullah
named Sheik Mohammed Saleh, who
has been proclaimed mahdi by the
hinterland Mussulmans, who are insti-
eating an uprising of the Somalis
against the Abyssinians. During the
fighting ~ Somalis were killed.

Believed to Be Waiting For a Declaration

LONDON, Oct. There has been al
most a complete dearth of news from
South Africa today. The few dis
patches received recording military
movements at various points all tend to
confirm the belief that President Kru-
ger will restrain any forward move
ment by the Beers unless they are fred
upon or wal is actually declared. 1t is
now practically certain that parlia-
ment will meet on Oct. IL.
Every day. delay of the beginning
Of hostilties strengthenssthe hope that
bloodshed may yet be avoided. The
passions aroused in the first moments
of wrath are cooling and both sides are
displaying more and more a disposition
to concede sonasthing for the sake of
peace, if the way to further negotia-
lions can be opened without humilia-
ton to either side.
Reserves will be summoned today in
sufficient number to bring up a war
strength, the regiments warned to hold
themselves in readiness for service in
South Africa, or about one-sixteenth Of
