Rumor That a Movement is on

DOERS NOW OCCUPY DUNDEE
Are Said to Have Plstoled a Mum

dee.

London, Oct. 2S-According to a
special dispatch from Cape Town re-
ceived today, rumors of dissension in
Bloemfontein, the capitol of the
Orange Free State, have reached
Cape 1 own. 1t is said a movement
is on foot to depose President Steyn
and install Mr.. Frazer as president.
London, Oct. 2S.-The lull in the
news from Ladysmith, Natal, which
was beginning to be regarded as omi-
nous, has been broken by a Cape
Town dispatch, under this mornings
date saying:
Scouts from Modderspruit, having
reported the Beers in force on Help
makaar Road, General White ordered
out a strong force of artillery, mount
ed infantry and cavalry. A small pa
troll of mounted infantry was shelled
by the Beers nine miles from Lady
smith. The Boer position was finally
located three miles beyond Modder-
spruit. British force is now four
miles from the Boers."
BOERS OCCUPY DUNDEE.
Fragmentary details are arriving
of the occupation of Dundee by the
Beers. 1t is alleged that twenty of
the town guard occupied an outpost a
couple of miles from town. A Boer
shell dislodged them. They fed to
the neighboring hill where three hun
dred Beers surrounded them and shot
the majority. The Beers then en-
tered Dundee, dragged several civil
ians out of their houses and pistoled
them in the streets.
Further details from Buluwayo,
Rhodesia, shows that the armored
train from there October II, sent to-
wards Mafeking under command of
Lieut.. Lllewellyn, got within seven
miles of Lobatsi, where the British
found the railroad badly damaged
Boers were visible on the hills in the
vicinity. Lobatsi had been looted.
The train encountered Beers three
miles south of Crocodile Pools and
the British opened fire with their
Maxims and drove the Beers back to
the hills whence they advanced. Be.
sides eight men killed the Beers lost
eleven horses.

AGAINST ANNEXATION.
American Cigarmakers Could Not
Compete With the Cheap Labor
of Philippines.

Chicago, Oct. 28.-According to
George w. Perkins, president of the
Cigarmakers' International Union, a
bitter fight is to be waged by that or
ganization against the annexation of
the Philippine Islands. The cigar
makers will make their first stand on
the question this fall, when the FEEDER
alton of Labor holds it's regular con-
vention in Detroit. Later delegates
will be sent to Washington to make
an effort to secure the support of con-
gressmen on their side. The objec-
ton to the Filipinos is that over 50,-
900 are engaged in the manufacture of
cigars at very low wages. 1t is be-
lieved that should the Philippines be-
come a part of the United States the
American cigarmakers would be un.
able to continue their trade.

$161,365.03

$l6l, ,365.U5
The total amount supposed to have
been collected last year, 1898, under
a lower tax levy was $129,S01.19.
1he levy of 1899 is, it is supposed will
result in the collection of 31,56S.84
in excess of the year 1898. The
amount of S161,S65 includes the
taxes on number of land
grants amounting to about $40,-
600 which is counted as uncollectible
and of the balance. 100000, the coun-
ty officials estimate that only 80 per
cent. will be collected, or about 60
per cent. of the total.
The increase of taxation for 1899
over that of 1898 is accounted for by
the deficits made in last years tax
levies and the consequent in
ability of the county to meet its
obligations, particularly the interest
on bonded Indebtedness. This is the
situation which has confronted the
present board OF county commission
ers during their administration of
county affairs, and there was no other
course left open for them to pursue
except to make a tax levy for 1899.
which would be adequate to meet the
demands of the situation.

iment and two and half gallons of
whiskey in bathing it, but nothing
gave any relief until he began using
