Newspaper bulletin No. 70, Indiana
Experiment Station. Upon the an
Eouncement of the United States de-
partment of agriculture that it had
achieved success in the treatment and
prevention Of hog cholera by the new
serum. it was predicted by the vet
erinarian Of the Indiana station that
commercial firms would soon produce
a serum" anal claim it to have all the
merits of that produced by the govern
ment. Neither experimental work or
experience, is necessary for cholera
cure firms to claim success. Recently
we have been informed that such firms
are operating in Indiana. and as a
result cholera is following in their
path and the disease being introduced
into herds when it had not previously
been in the neighborhood. The In
diana station desires to learn of the
success or failure of the hog cholera
serum treatment in every locality in
which it has been tried, and also. OF
all outbreaks of disease which may
have followed serum treatment, and
we solicit correspondence upon the
subject.

Minnesota Creameries.-An encour-
aging sign is that nearly all the cream
cries are being operated by individuals
or companies of not more than two or
three persons. A few years ago it was
next to impossible to get a man to
put money alone into a creamery, and
on that account most OF, the creameries
in Minnesota were established by mu-
tual stock companies of farmers, a
dozen and more in a certain district
going into the venture with a little
money each and sharing the profits.
Their ventures proved that the dairy
industry was the thing for Minnesota.
and now creamery after creamery is
being established by individuals with
assurance Of certain and large returns

this state. The greater number are

STORY OF KILLING OF
MANY B0ERS REPEATED

CAPE TOWN, Oct. ia dispatch from
Kimberley dated October II says: "All is
well here. Colonel Hore engaged the
Beers at Mafeking on October IA with
great success Mafeking was still safe
on October 15"
A special dispatch to the Cape Argus
reiterates the statement that in the fight
ing in Mafeking Colonel Hore repulsed the
Beers, inhicting loss of 800 men.
The Cape Times publishes the following
dispatch from Kimberley: Reliable in
formation from Mafeking says that an
armored train, while accommodating north
of the town last Saturday engaged 500
Beers, who suffered heavily. Colonel
Fitzclarence's column foiled the Beers, in
flicting severe loss. The British casualties
were two killed and fourteen wounded,
two severely"
Complaints of Boer outrages upon the
natives continue to arrive. These serve
further to inf1ame the Basutos and Zuius.
Yesterday $50 Basutos from Johannesburg
arrived at Burgherdorp, Cape Colony and
alleged that the Boers had robbed them
wholesale and flogged them with black
snakes"
The party, which includes a son of
Lerothodi, was supplied with provisions,
and the Basutos then started homeWard,
cheering the Queen and chanting war
songs.

GENERAL BATTLE HAS
NOT YET OCCURRED

LONDON, Oct. 2O-The general action
anticipated yesterday to the westward of
Ladysmith has not yet occurred. Opera
tions have been confined to outpost skir-
mishing, with apparently small loss of
life. 1t seems both armies are acting with
great caution. 1t is said the Beers have
captured several British officers travelling
by train from Ladysmith to Dundee.
The Daily Telegraph publishes the fol-
lowing from Ladysmith late Thursday
afternoon: The Beers have captured
near Elandslaagte a train which left
Ladysmith at 1890. There were in it sew
eral officers and a few men, besides civil
ians, all going to Glencoe or Dundee. For
tunately the 1890 up train, which con-
tained one of your correspondents, got

seyering telegraphic communication with
Glencoe"
The Ladysmith correspondent Of the
Times, under date of Wednesday evening
says: 1.-The situation on the east border
is developing a mere serious aspect. The
Vryheid and Utrecht commandos, after
looting on the Zulu border, are reported
to be in the Umsinga district threatening
communication between here and Dundee
The situation at the front is reported to
be growing more acute"

been driven back. Perhaps, however,
their movements are only part of a gen
eral plan to isolate both Ladysmith and
Glencoe from the south.
The simultaneous Boer movements
from Acton Homes on the west and from
Rorkes Drift and Helpmakaar from the
east, may indicate a projected attack
upon the railway below Colenso. The
movement from the east also suggests an
attack on the railway at Waschbank, be-
tween Ladysmith and Glencoe
Military experts are inclined to the
opinion that the troops at Glencoe are
only to form a rear guard left to attack
the force under Commandant General
Joubert, while General Whites full
strength is concentrated at Ladysmith
with view of attacking the Orange Free
State force while General Joubert is
still forty miles away
Stories of British successes in the
Mafeking district are so persistent that,
in the absence of contradiction from Boer
sources. they may be accepted as true in
the main, although the alleged killing of
300 Beers is discredited.
General Cronjes troops are regarded as
the flower of the Transvaal forces and
decisive fighting must occur on the west
ern border. If, as was intimated in last
nights dispatches, reliefs are approach
ing from Rhodesia, it will probably not
be long delayed.
Apart from their desire to gain an
Initial advantage by capturing Mafexing
and thereby attracting the Dutch colon
lists, the object of the Beers in nassing
in Bechuanaland is doubtless due to the
fact that this splendid stock country is
full Of cattle, and as it is only sparselv
settled, would give the Transvaal a route
by which to import arms and munitions

Mr.. Chamberlain who was loudly

criticism of the action of the opposition

The Speaker said: Il think the language

of his words were drowned in wild Irish
cheers and shouts of "Withdraw."D
Mr.. Chamberlain calmly waited until the
uproar had subsided and said: Il bow

cision. l withdraw everything l have

Then amid frequent ironical cheers he
proceeded to denounce the ''camapign

cept Mr.. Stanhope's challenge to produce
