The Transvaal has grown to be an
interesting and important republic,
and, with President Kruger at the
head, is forging its way to the front
in the galaxy of young republics.
The people there in their struggle for
independence have won the admira-
ton of people everywhere throughout
the world. They fought for their
God-given rights, and the best wishes
for the success of the Transvaal pa
triots in their strike at British intru-
sion go out from every libery-loving
country in the world
The war is on, but the outcome is
uncertain. The Beers are twice
armed, for their cause is Just. At
this writing nothing definite has been
learned as to the results of the en-
gagements, as all communication has
been cut off in that country. Eng
land has sent large number of sol
diers to the front and Canada has
2, 600 on the way there with 5000
more ready to go.
The fighting strength of the Beers
is estimated at from 65, 900 to 20,
600 outside of the 40, 600 or so, 900
men in the Orange River Free State,
Natal and Cape Colony who are ready
to go to the aid of the Transvaal peo-
pie. In war it is said that one Boer
can do about as much fighting as six
Eng lishmen, and us Great Britain
only has about GO, 900 or 20, 900 SOL
diers available for immediate service
in South Africa, Notwithstanding the
fact that she has an army OF 100, 600,
she has not an easy task before her
1t is, however, the prevailing opin-
ion that England Will lose in her I'M
warranted onslaught on those who
have gradually worked themselves
out from under British rule to high
plane of liberty and civilization
LATER Report comes the effect
that the Beers engaged the British in
a battle in the vicinity of Mafeking,
just over the west border of the re-
public in Beuchana Land, and three
hundred of the former and eighteen
Of the latter were killed. The Beers
made the attack and were repulsed,
but they fought bravely. A battle
is expected at any time in the vein
ity Of I.adysmith where troops are
massing. The Beers fought against
great odds.

POSSIBILITIES.

POSSIBILITIES.
Charlotte, N c., has thirteen cotton
mills, and u charter has been issued for
another one to cost $3.50, 600, and the
whole stock was taken up by her own
citizens. The idea of spinning the cotton
where it is grown seems TO be gaining
force all the time. With The abundance
OF fine water power in the South, and
with the facility for transforming power
by wire, there is no reason why the South
should not only spin her own cotton, but
her wool and In a little while become in
spinning way New England, and in
an iron way new Pennsylvania Salt
Lake Tribune.
There is pointer on the future
possibilities of the West, and especi-
ally the land of Weiser. or course
there are not great many who give
evidence Of deep insight into the
future, either by hearty endorsement
OF those who are, and have been for
years, expanding all their energies
advancing the gospel Of coming
grandeur in order to arouse the spirit
necessary to lay the foundation prop
erly during the present, or by their
own words and actions. But there
is flowing this way the new blood Of
progress, which will grasp the stu
alton and cause the germs OF mag
niicent wealth TO spring into blossom
} ing life. Within 200-mile radius
OF Weiser nearly twenty million
pounds of wool are shipped to east
ern factories to be made up in cloth
and shipped back to u.s. We, who
produce the raw material, consume it,
but in the interim between produc-
ton and consumption, there is
loaded upon us the unnecessary bur
den Of transportation twice across
the continent. Is there any pro-
cess that can excel in economy
the manufacturing of raw material
on the ground where it is produced?
Ii it pays to manufacture iron near
where the ore is mined it ought to
be the same with copper-in which
there is much room for contemplation
by those OF us who are ready to and
capable OF erasping possibility.
, For twenty-five years Weiser land
toiled on in abject poverty, because it
was all buy and no sell. Beans
bacon, pickles, dried fruit, every
natural product of the country was
' purchased from some other state, and
such practice could mean nothing else
but impoverishment. OF late this
practice has been slowly changing,
and, while much is yet shipped in
that ought to be raised at home, there
Is great tendency to supply our
own necessities. This tendency is
already noticeable in an improved
condition of the people of the whole
county. With all the dormant
possibilities and resources with which
we are endowed, the promised influx
of new and boldly emerge ic spirits,
and the substantial capabilities of the
country in the way OF power for man
ufacturing plants, it is not improb-
able that within the present genera
ton we shall read floating paragraphs
similar to the above and applied to
our own state.

KILLED BY A SOLDIER.
Murders Two Policemen in Dem
vcr Sunday Morning.

Denver, Col, Aug. 1.-TWO police of.
ficers were murdered here at one o'clock
Sunday morning by recruit belonging
to company L, Thirty-fourth volunteer
infantry, now stationed at Fort Logan.
Three soldiers had been raising dis
turbance in Louis Klipfel's saloon, az
the corner of Market and Twentieth
streets, during the night, and Officer
Tom Clifford was notified of their ac-
tion and asked to keep his eye on them.
He followed them for an hour or so,
and came upon the men at the corner of
Blake and Twentieth streets. He was
of them turned on him, placing the
muZzle of a revolver to his breast, and
sent a bullet through his heart. Clifford
expired almost Immediately. All three
of the soldiers then started to run, but
two were overtaken and captured. The
one that did the shooting, however,
continued running, with Officer w. T..
Griffith on a bicycle in pursuit. The
fleeing man lodged through alleys and
open lots for several blocks, Griffith pat
ronizing the streets. On Sixteenth
SlTtel, near lHe Union uepOl, the OlHCeH
saw the man making for the viaduct.
He shot at him twice, the soldier re-
turning the fire, mortally wounding
Griffith. He died few minutes later
while being conveyed in az ambulance
to the station.
The entire police and detective forces
of the city were sent out after the man,
and the country for miles around has
been patrolled and searched, without
getting any trace of the double muir
derer, excepting that a man answer
ing his description was seen on Fiji
teenth street few moments after Grif-
fifth was shot. His two companions,
who are now in the city Jail, deny any
knowledge of the murder, but from
other recruits who saw the three to-
gether Saturday evening, it was learned
that the name of the man who did the
killing was Wellington C. Llewellyn,
and that he came from Globe, A. r.
A reward has been offered for him dead
or alive. There was talk of II lynching,
should he be taken alive, but This seems
to have died out.
