Methuen Reinforced.
London, Dec. 11.-While so far as the
actual British advance is concerned this
mornings dispatches show little
change in the situation, the authorities
anticipate from the announcement that
howitzers and cavalry have reached
Gen. Methuen, and that Gen. Butler has
received the heavy artillery for which
he was waiting, that the advance will
no longer be delayed. News of i'm
portant battles by both generals is ex-
pected soon.
The fact that Gen. Butler has or
dered 200 stretcher bearers from PETER
maritzburg to assist the regular ambu-
lance corps indicates that he antici-
pates sharp fighting.
The latest pigeon from Ladysmith
furnished Gen. Butler with an impor-
tant map sent by Gen. White, presum-
ably showing the disposition of the
Boer forces and the vulnera BILE points.

satisfactory from the British point of
view. Some small outpost skirmishes
have occurred at various points and at
Queenstown a quantity of rifles and
ammunition including dum-dum bull
let's and Martini's belonging to dis
loyal Dutch have been seized.

New Fast Schedule
to the East.
Less Than Three Days to Chicago.

The new train schedule of the Rio
Grande Western Railway and connec-
tons went into effect February 9TH,
and has proved a great success. By
this new time card, passengers from
Butte, Boise, HALEY, Pacatello, and
all points on the Oregon Short Line
are landed in Chicago in less than
three days after departure. Close con
nection is made at Ogden between the
trains of the Oregon Short Line and
Rio Grande Western, leaving that point
at 500 a. m, arriving Denver at 9:20 a.
m. the following day, and Chicago at
2:15 p. m. the third day. Connections
made in Chicago with the limited trains
for New York. This new service is in
addition to the fast night train of the
Rio Grande Western which leaves Og-
den at 6:35 p. M, arrives Denver the
next evening, and Chicago at 500 a. m.
the third day, thus making close con-
nections in Chicago with the fast
trains for Boston and New
York.
Both of these trains are splendidly
equipped with all latest appliances and
conveniences, lighted with Pintsch Gas,
and carry Pullman Palace and Pullman
Tourist Sleeping Cars as well rs Free

Postage to be Reduced to One Cent.

The enormous increase in the number
of letters carried in the U. S. mails
makes itcertain that the rate of postage
must eventually be reduced to one cent
an ounce. The President,who succeeds
in getting such a measure through Con-
gress will hold a high place in the
esteem OF the people, but no higher
than the esteem in which everybody
holds Hostetter's Stomach Bitters.
This medicine has an unequalled record
in reducing the sickness of mankind.
1t gets at the starting point of disease
by acting upon the stomach direct,
helping that important organ in its
duty of digesting food. 1t makes good
appetites, allays nervousness, stimulate
the kidneys and makes rundown men
or women feel like new person. Try
it.

Dear Cousin:--I receivtd your letter
some time ago but have neglected to
answer il as we have had too many ex-
citing events. In the last letter from
mother it vas 80 degrees below zero,
at the time OF this writing am sitting
in my tent behind the trench fighting
the flies and nearly suifocating with
the heat. / guess you have read all
about the lighting in the papers by this
time. / have had some pretty close
shaves but am still in the ring | am
sure you would like this job, it is awful
exciting, We are laying behind trenches
nov, the trench is about feet high and
a feet thick. Every morning we go on
a scouting trip before it gets light, We
start AID crawl right up to the nigger's
lines before they know it and when it
gets daylight we start to pick niggers
off. II is lots of fun to lay in the shade
of big bush and wait till mister mig
sticks up his head at hundred yards
distance, we wait till he gets bold
enough to come out in plain sight, then
three or four Of us will take q pop shot
at him and nearly every time up will 90
his hands and down he goes.
/ have a Mauser rife that 1 got at the
battle Of SAINT Ane, it is better for
crawling as 1t shoots smokeless powder
Pnd don't make SO much noise as 4
