GOOD ADVICE

CAPE TOWN. Monday, November co.
Gen. Gatacre, commanding the British COL
uinn assembling at Queenstown. Cape
colony, made a speech to the troops there
to-day. He said the regulars should watch
and learn from the irregulars who were
acquainted with the country and the
habits of the Beers Once the forward
movement is begun. he continued, there
could be no question of stopping it, and he
asked all TO do their best, adding

am not willing to do myself"
Reports from the northern portion of the
colony are more reassuring, but there IS
distinct danger of the Dutch actively
espousing the cause of the Beers, who now
effectually bar three lines of entry into
the Free State. Most of the students of
the Burghersdorp theological seminary

OIL NEWS.

Special to the Register.
PARKERSBURG, w. Va, November
2f.-The use Of compressed air for
@blowing or oil wells in districts
where there are a number Of wells not
far apart is causing talk here among
oil men. The idea Is to store the air
in a tank at a central point, and by
means of lead pipe blow" the wells
in the same way as steam is now used.
1t is claimed that it Is more econom-
zeal as well as more convenient meth
cd, particularly where water with which
TO make steam is scarce.
The air is pumped into the tank by
a compressor operated by a steam en-
CINE. 1t is maintained that it is always
possible TO obtain water enough to
operate one small engine when 1t Is i'm
possible TO get enough to operate a
number. Moreover, IL is asserted that
by the new method wells can be blown
off, twice day with ease, and that
production viii be somewhat stimulated
as a result. 1t is further claimed that
by the new method sediment is pre-
rented from collecting at the bottom
of the wells
Renewed interest y being given to

Of new wells started in district that

DEPRIVED OF ALL POWERS
pertaining to the position
1t is UNDERSTOOD that President Kru-
ser objected to Mr.. Macrum on the
ground that the United States claims

evident friendship fer Great Britain.
All communications TO the British pris-
oners now go through the ordinary
military channels, which render their
ultimate delivery doubtful and certain
~ slow. The British government so
far has not taken any steps to anchor
ate the present condition of the pris-
oners. A government official informed
representative of the Associated
Press that he did not see any good in
trying to get any other power to act
in their behalf, as President Kruger
would DOUBTLESS treat its representative
IN the same manner that he had treated
the representative of the United States.
Moreover, it is not likely that Presi-
dent Kruger will be there long. If we
did ask any other power to act in be-
half OF Great Britain it would prob
ably be Portugal.

Complete success.


The second of the series of tha

ming before large and very apprecia-

bers of the club took advantage of the
offer made by the club inviting them to

generosity extended to them.
The high merit attained by Mr.. Stod-

itself is subject of intense interest to
all. Added to this the many beautiful
pictures with which the lecture was in
terspersed, representing many historic
and memorable places of this wonder
full city of the sea, proved a rare intel
lectual treat
The reading Of last evenings lecture
was given by DR.. W. S. Hamilton,
whose clear voice was distinctly heard
in all parts Of the Auditorium. Owing
to the great appreciation shown, the
next lecture will be given on Tuesday,

fused to-day TO state when the meet

The sentiment of the members CT the

year would endorse the Chicago plat
form in Its entirety and that antitrust
and anti-imperialistic planks would also
be adopted. None was willing to eX-
press an opinion as to the paramount
issue in the campaign.
"A convention can adopt platform,
but it canuot create paramount is

ORED GIRL ARRESTED FOR
PETTY THIEvING YESTERDAY.

Wheeling and vicinity seem to be in
tested at present with a gang of bur-
glars. Robberies have been numerous
| in this city, and Saturday night the
McMechen and Bellaire. Monday night
Elm Grove was visited, and several res
licences were entered. In the homes CT
Hannibal Forbes and DR.. Will Craeraft,
the burglars ransacked the rooms, but
departed without securing any booty.
They were more successful, however,
in the residence OF John Kiger. Mr..
Kiger had placed his pantaloons, con-
tanning a gold watch and $54 in money,
under the pillow upon which he slept.
The garment was taken from its hid
ing place and the valuables extracted.
1t is understood that Mayor Mike
Madden, of Elm Grove, was agitated by
the numerous petty thefts in the town,
and remained UP for two nights to keep
lookout for the burglars. Monday
night he went home about two O'Clock,
and shortly afterward his room was
entered and SIS was taken out of
pocket in his clothing. There is abso-
lutely no clue to the identity of the
thieves.
Annie Heron, eight years of age,
Mary Jane Miller, about the same age,
Cash Brown, aged IS, and Neil Robin
son, aged IS, all colored children, were
brought up before Chief Of Police Glenn
ans last night. The Heron girl was
charged with stealing money from the
cigar store Of VIM. Bashear, on Six
teenth street, near the English Luth-
eran church.
The girl entered the store last night,
reached the cash drawer, took out three
silver dollars and two paper dollars,
and started out. A customer walked
into the store, the proprietor came
from a rear room, and the little girl
was detected. Mr.. Bashear stated, after
the young thief and Cash Brown had
been arrested by Lieut.. Supler, that
he missed 1912 from his cash drawer
last Saturday, and was unable to ac-
count for it. The Heron girl admitted
that she had stolen it.
The girls screams while in the office
of Chief Clemans attracted the atten-
ton of passers-by. Her parents were
sent for, and agreed to restore the
stolen money. Mr.. Bashear agreed not
to prosecute, and the children were re-
leased, after being given sound lee
ture.
