An exchange says a town has no more
right to depend wholly for success on
its natural advantages than man has
to depend on his wife's relations to get
whole people on the progressive plan
that lifts town out OF the ruts and
puts it on a solid road to success, and
that exchange is correct. No town on
earth can prosper with the citizens
pulling in different directions. A long
pull and a strong pull and pull all
together is what counts.

Gen. White Reported Wounded.


Lorenzo Marques, Delagoa Bay, Nov.
20. = Belated dispatches from cor
respondent with the Beers near Lady
smith, up to Tuesday, November IA, are
arriving here after being strictly cen
sored at Pretoria. They throw some
light on the fighting already reported
from other sources. They say that on
Friday, November 10, eight lyddite
shells were fred into the Transvaal CEN
trail artillery position, without doing
any harm. The wood of the platform
of the second big gun on Bulwana hill
was damaged, but has since been re-
paired.
Commandant Weilbach captured
man who reported that Gen. White was
wounded and had gone to Pietermaritz-
burg, leaving Gen. French in command.
This, however, does not tally with
the Transvaals information. The pris-
oner also reported that the British
forces were hiding in underground
| chambers in order to avoid the shells,
and said there about 1000 wounded IN
| the hospitals.
Gen. Joubert had been indisposed,
| but is better.
On Monday, November 10, the Brit
ish forces on the north side of Lady
smith opened on tie nearest Boer bat
terry and the shells fell SO thickly that
the Beers were compelled to lie Hat and
sheltered. Later they opened fire on the
British batteries, which ceased firing.
Heavy fighting occurred between the
| Orange Free State troops and the Brit
ish. south of Ladysmith, during the
morning of Tuesday, November IA. The
result is not known.
From Lombard's Kop, the British
batteries were visible, shelling the Free
Staters' position.
A Transyaal big gun shelled the Brit.

far, is, that the axe is the axe of Converse.
 James Chileot, the brother of Mrs. Ceaser testified Friday morning that he arrived Saturday after the murder had been committed. and that he made it his business to look for nothing but deeds and money" II &as successful to the extent of S250.
 The case continues this afternoon, and in all probability will not be finished before Saturday noon.
 A peculiar feature and fact brought out in the case was that Mrs. Cea- ser, after calling her husband, and before seeing him, according to her testimony. heard him "struggliDg near the coal oil can.' Another fact is, that the axe Of Richard Con- verse, whether he is the guilty party or not, is that the murder was not committed with an axe but with some blunt instrument in the hands of the coid blooded assassin. From this testimony it would seem that Con yerse's axe was merely a subter- fuge. The murder is still surround ed io mystery as far as the man who struck the blow is concerned, but there is no question now of conspiracy oR the part of some. The insurance feature coup led with others brought out in the case makes it look very dark for more than Converse, the accused man.
