90 Nassau ST., New York.

If n city council should reach he con-
chsion that all public business could
be cared for at one meeting in a month
the citizens of the favored municipality
would rejoice and be glad. This might
apply with force 10 Chicago, provided
needed work could be done in the soil
tary assembly, says the Chronicle. But
the United States contain town where
counclmen are plenty, but who are
not so anxious TO exploit their wares
as to meet more frequently than once
in 30 days.
This city-it is city--has many
things which 60 TO make up a modern
city in all respects. 1t is Anaconda,
Mont. 1t is in the very middle of the
gold-bearing regions of the upper
Rockies, has fine system of public
utilities and is up to date. But the
members of the council, or the man
who drew up the charter, thought one
meeting month would do for all prac-
tical purposes. Hence it happens that
the Anaconda papers make mention
thus:

Washington, Dec. 26.-Secretary of
State Hay will have a thorough inves-
tigation made of the reported seizure
BIZ British cruisers of several cargoes
of American flour off Delagoa bay,
South Africa. Instructions have been
sent to the American consul at Lo-

Africa, directing him to make a thor

the facts in the case may justify.
What action will be finally taken
by the government will depend on
what is revealed by the inquiry. The
reports that reached Washington are
unofficial and very meager.

Eureka, S. ID.

Aberdeen, S. D., Dec. 26.-During a
high northwest wind Saturday even
ing a prairie fire started east of Eu-
rcka and swept over the country caus-
ing great destruction of hay and grass
on the ranges. No reports from the
burned districts have been received,
but many farmers must have been en-
tirely burned out. The fire was the
most extensive for years, embracing
IL tract several miles wide and five
miles long. Great anxiety is felt for
the safety of people in the path OF
the fire as the wind carried the fire
with terrible rapidity through the
tall prairie grass.

THE "DOPPERS."
One of the Most Extraordinary SUPER
stitiOns In the World Enter
tanned by Beers.

The Boer is deeply religious, and,
moreover, so supremely egotistical that
he really believes that his people are
superior to any other in the world, says
the London Mail. The "doppers" some
40 years ago somehow conceived the
idea that they were the descendants of
the lost tribes Of Israel.
This was surely daring proposition
to advance, and as the heads of the
households declared that they were
temporarily sojourning in the wilder
ness and that during their stay they
would be smitten for their iniquities the
young Beers naturally came to regard
the English as instruments of ven
geance.
Even now there are Beers who on the
strength of the holy words 80 God, the
heathern are come into mine inner
itance," refuse to obey the orders of the
field comets to fight the English not
because they are afraid, but because
they believe that the English being the
chosen instruments of vengeance il
would be an act of impety to OPP
pose them.
The land of promise is thought by
some Beers to be in the neighborhood
of the Limpopo river. This is no doubt
one of the most extraordinary super
stitions that ever took into captivity the
human mind. but there it is, and if the
Beers at the end of the campaign should
be willing to adopt this land as their flu
ture home Great Britain, it is thought
would not refuse them the privilege.

Another day has passed and left no
marked change in the smallpox situa-

ed since last Wednesday. Although
there is a feeling of anxiety by those
having the matter in charge yet it is
hoped THAT the worst is over. A change
is TO be made at once that the spread
ing of the disease may be guarded
against. In the double tenement
houses where the families in one side
only is afflicted with the smallpox it
has been the practice to quarantine
that part of the house. 1t is the plan
now to have the occupants of the I'M
o,,arantined part of the house moved
TO some other part of the town and
shut up the vacant part.
DR.. NJ. w. Bessey, the health officer
Of the town. is taking every precau-
ton tfat he may not spread the disease.
Before he visits the infected houses he
changes his clothes and when the visit
ing is over he makes another change
that he NAV not carry the germs to
other people. In speaking of the mat
ter of the smallpox hospital today. he
said that Winslow stood ready at any
