THE BoER WAR.
ENGLAND JUSTIFIED IN HER
PRESENT COURSE.
Has More Than Once Saved the
Beers From Utter An
Inhalation.
(Contributed.)


There is undoubtedly large amount
of misplaced sympathy with the Beers
in their present war with England. An
outline of events leading up to the pres
ent crisis may serve to dispel 1t to a
certain extent.
The Dutch first colonized in South
Africa under Van Riebeck in 1861. For
the next century and half the his
tory of the colonists was one long Sc
1ies of wars with the natives. On such
tribes as the Beers were able to subdue
they enforced slavery. In 1906 the
British annexed the Cape and de-
feated the Beers under jan
sens The Beers rebelled in 1919,
but were subdued. In 1885 the great
trek took place, owing to the action of
the British Government suppressing
the brutal slavery to which the Beers
had subdued the weaker tribes of ma
tives In 1910 the Beers hoisted their
flag in Natal. The British lid not &C.
knowledge their independence. and aft
er some fighting finally subdued them
in 1913. The Beers again treked across
the Vail river, and the British annexed
the whole country south of the Vail and

intact till the year 1854. In this year
the Orange River Beers were granted
their independence at the convention
of Bloomfontein, thus forming the Or
ange Free State. At this time the
Tranvaal consisted of four republics,
Potchefstroom, Gutenberg, Utrecht and
Zoulpansbery, which were united in
1860. The Transvaal Beers before and
after their union were constantly at
war with the blacks. They lived in
constant dread of the stronger tribes.

iect slavery by brutal ill-usage. In

Seccokuni and practically bankrupt,
annexation was their only hope. Eng

ing advantage of the weakness of the
British forces in Africa the Beers re-
belled and repaid England for saving
them from obliteration four years pre-
viously at Langs Mex and Majuba Hill.
A Wing government, with short-Sighted
policy, recalled Sir Evelyn Wood ana
his troops, and granted the Beers their
independence subject to the suzerainty
of the Imperial Government. and with
the stipulation that Boer and Briton
were to enjoy equal protection and
equal burgher rights The Beers

DOES THE WORK.
No Surgical Operation. No Pain, Trif.inp

edy, but 1t Does the Work.

edy. but 1t Does the Work.
There are some people who have piles
as frequently and regularly as other
people have colds
Any little bowel trouble will bring
them on, any extra exertion, as in lift
ing, Will produce them, and in fact will
often appear without any apparent
provocation. Piles, however, are much
more serious than a cold, as the ten
oency is always to grow worse until
the trouble becomes deep seated and
chronic. or develops into some fatal
rectal disease.
While there are many pile remedies
which give relief, yet there is but one
which not only gives instant relief but
at the same time makes a permanent
cure, and that is the we'll known Pyra-
mid Pile Cure.
This remedy is composed of simple.
harmless vegetable ingredients, but
combined SO effectively and acts so
promptly and thoroughly that it cures
every form of piles whether itching,
blind. bleeding or protruding.
In long standing cases the Pyramid
Pile Cure has proven to be the ONLY
certain cure except surgical operation
and its advantages over an operation
are many, as 1t is painless, causes no
delay or interference with daily occupa
ton and last but not least. it is
cheaper than any surgical operation
could possibly be.
The cases that the Pyramid Pile Cure
will not reach are so few that phvsi-
clans are doing away with operations
for piles and depending upon this cheap
but effective remedy to accomplish a
complete cure, and it never disappoints
except in cases beyond the reach of
medical skill.
Inc pyramid Pile Cure is prepared by
the Pyramid Drug Co of MARSHALL
Mich, and for sale by druggists eyervs
where at 80 cents per package. Each
package contains a treatise on cause
and cure of piles. together with testi-
monlals from every section of this coun-
try.

BAsH's BAD BREAK.
Made Pretext of Drawing Pts
toll ON Officers

E. D. Bash, an ex-soldier, was lodged
in jail last night charged with drunken
ness. Officers Fitzgerald and Pennish
were trying to persuade a lower L.
street woman who had looked long on
schooners to keep off the street, when
Bash interfered-
He told the woman to do as she pleas
ed and pay no attention to the Off
GERS. The officers stepped toward Bash,
and he ran a bluff by reaching for his
gun pocket. Fitzgerald called the
bluff. He dropped his long-tom under
Basins nose, and the latter's hands went
up as If on a spring. He told the Off
GERS he had no gun, and he told the
truth. He was lodged in Jail just the
same.

nearly
day or two ago Jay sprung the fol-
lowing on a batch of friends, among
whom was big Mike" O'Connor.
You see," said Jay, when we went
down South in the spring to practice
we ran up against some hard games.
Well, one day we were playing the
Macon Georgia) nine, and we were up
against it. In the last half of the
ninth we were a run to the bad and two
men gone, and not much of show to
peg. Well. we didn't want it to get
abroad that we had been wiped up, and
SO the Captain did a little scheming.
i went to the bat and got the sig
nal to scrape fouls, and / scraped. They
came along just right, and one after

grand stand. The beauty of it was
that they never came back. That stand
was lined with 'niggers,' and they lit

back. Eight, ten, a dozen, fifteen balls
1 managed to shoot back into that
stand, and the game was over. The
Georgia boys were out of balls and were
obliged to forfeit the game. 1 tell you
1t was a close shave"
Yes unused Mike, as he shifted his
