WAR IN THE TRANSVAAL.

War in South Africa, be-
tween the British and the
Beers, has, it seems, be-
gun in earnest. A dispatch Of
the 18th from Cape Town says
that three hundred Beers and
eighteen British have been
killed in a battle at Mafeking.
A report says 1T is evident
that the Beers are making
every effort to get advantage
in the matter of position before
the arrival of Gen. Butler, the
English commander, with rein
forcements. Gen. Butler sailed
from Southampton Saturday
for South Africa. He was
given a magnificent send-off
by his home people. The Eng
fish commander is said to be a
man of blood and iron and it
is expected that. with his SUI
perior force, he will crush the
Beers without mercy and wipe
out every vestige Of opposition
to English rule in South Africa.
The Beers are sturdy fighters.
however, and the prospect is
that they will infict severe
losses on their enemies before
they are conquered, notwith-
standing England will have in
the field double the number of
men who will compose the
fighting force of the Transvaal
and the Orange Free State.

SHOWER OF STARS.

Exchange.
Astronomers tell us that we
are to have a tremendous shower
of stars about the 18th Of No
vember. 1t is the occasion Of
the crossing Of the earth's orbit
by Biela's comet, which occurs
every 80 years. One astrono-
mer predicts more than the
shower Of stars. He says that
the comet will come in contact
with the earth at this visitation
and that the earth will be des-
troyed in the collision. We,
however, are assured by a
French astronomer that should
the comet collide with the earth,
there would be no injury to the
earth but that the damage
would be entirely to the comet.
However, the shower of stars
will be expectantly awaited and
there will probably be little
sleep on the night OF the 18th
and 18th for fear the spectacle
will escape us.

A Great Misfortune

Mr.. George Kenney of Anthony
went fishing on the gulf last
week, stopping over night on the
gulf hammock. He was awak-
ened by the fierce growing of his
faithful Newfoundland dog. See
ing a large, dark object moving
in the woods and thinking it was
a bear, he fired at it. When he
inspected the fallen object, to his
modification and regret he found
it was his horse.

In late years men have made
fortunes out of the tailiDgs of
gold mines. The mills in which
the ore formerly was crushed and
the cruGe processes then in use
allowed q large percentage Of the
precious metal to escape, and
that loss amounted in some cases
to a fortune. The stomach is
just like stamp mill in this re-
Spect, that when it Is not IN per-
feet order it allows the csca pc
and waste Of much of the precious
nutrimcnt contained in the food.
That loss when continuous means
the loss of mans greatest fortune
health. Science offers a remedy
for this condition in DIR. Plerce's
Golden Medical Discovery. 1t
corrects the "weakness" of the
stomach, prevents waste and loss
of nOurishment, and puts the
stomach and organs of digestion
and nutrition into a condition of
health which enables them to
save and assimllate all the nutri-
ment contained in the food which
is eaten. In all cases OF cOnSti-
