leading citizens in all lines OF business ana
many are members OF churches.

The statement from Frankfort that Governor
Bradley proposes to offer reward FOR the ap-

cite much fear that the reward will be claimed
There is a strong feeling that no punishment
will result from this tragedy.

The mass Of chan received until midnight
from the seat OF war was hardly worth sitting.
From Ladysmth there was a fresh series Of
bulletins and vague reports. one Of which hinted
that the garrison under half rations, while
others described the continuance OF an inef-
fective bombardment Mr.. Harmsworth's paper
had the substance OF a private dispatch from
Ladysmth. stating that the flies more
annoying than the shells; that Colonel Conyng
ham was convalescent and At for duty. and
that Lord Dufferin's son. Lord Ava. was well.
There were reports that the Dutch forces were
moving north from Ladysmth. but these were
not credited at the War Office.
At midnight from Modder River there was
definite news that Lord Methuen was In COM
munication with Kimberley every night by
searchlight. that the bridge work getting
on we'll and that strong force OF the enemy
remained at Jacobsdal on the road to Boem-
fontein.
Belated descriptions OF the battle OF Modder
River are still printed in the London journals,
but they contain little that is striking except
cumulative evidence OF the superiority OF the
British artillery practice.
Mail letters from Ladysmith, aside from the
melancholy evidence that General White was
completely outmanpuvred and badly beaten in
the pitched battle which described early In
November a reconnaissance in force are
scarcely more interesting than statements about
the first battle from the wounded soldiers who
arrived here yesterday from Africa. Mr.. Stee-

LONDON, Oct. 9.-The correspondent

king and Went among the Beers and
talked to them in their own language.
They said: 'The English want to entice
US to the Natal border and then if all
our forces are there they will enter from
Mafeking and Vryburg, but we are too
astute to be caught. We do not intend
to attack first, but will attack the Brit
ish if war is declared. We do not trust
Joubert. He wants peace. Viljoen

Hostilities Expected This week.

LONDON, Oct. 9.-The Cape Town
correspondent of the Daily Mail declares
that the story that a Boer ultimatum
demanding the withdrawal Of the Brit
ish troops from the frontier has been
presented is without foundation, but he
says the republics have within the past
week demanded a declaration of the
British intentions in threatening terms.
Hostilities in the outlying districts. the
correspondent says, + expected this
week. Mr.. Hoffmeir, the Afrikander
leader in Cape Colony, said, according
to the correspondent Of the Daily Mail,
that but for him the Beers would have
begun fighting long ago.

Charge of Unjust Discrimination.

LINCOLN, Oct. Numerous com.
plants have beeu filed with the deputy
state insurance commissioner against
insurance organizations and corpora.
tions doing business in the state, charg-
ing unjust discrimination in the matter
of making rates to policy holders and
prospective policy holders. These com
plants have suggested the necessity Of
a stringent anti-rebate law in Ne.
braska. Insurance laws Of other states
strictly prohibit the offering of a specia.
rebate by an insurance company, but
there appears to be no provision Of this
kind in the Nebraska statutes.

tered the enemy near Cavite Viejo and
soon put them to flight, continuing
their advance.

Thirteenth regiment, with two compa-
mics of the Fourteenth and a number Of
scouts, came upon the enemy in a
strongly ~entrenched position on the
road between Cavite Viejo and Move

in turning the flank of the enemy, who
retreated to strong sand forts across the
creek. destroying the bridges across the
stream.

first encounter having d~isheartened the
enemy. Squads were sent to Novelets
and burned the town and the huts al
along the road from which the enemy
commenced the firing. There a juno
ton was formed with the scouts, wht
