COLONIZATION WORKS, ROBINSON MINE.
Cape Colony into the southern heart
OF the dark continent. They trekked
because they were tired of quarreling
with their British neighbors. They
were looking for some place in that
savage infested wilderness where they
could pasture their focks and herds,
build their rude homes and live the
lives they thought 1t was right for
them to live.
One day after, they had trayersed
about LOCO miles of level country
they came to the foot Of a range Of

trouble, as they shrewdly foresaw years
ago. They have been brought face to
face with a difficult problem. Should
they suffer the hated uitlander to re-
main and obtain control Of their gov
eminent, should they abandon their
homes and trek again, or should they
fight the great empire which has chas-
ed them from pillar to post in South
Africa?
With stubborn courage which COM
pels our admiration the Beers have
determined to fight, not for the posses-
sion of the gold mines, but for their
republic and their independence.

trIppingly enough. "a
The annual production of gold from
these mines which the Beers wish
had never been opened has been in
creasing at the rate of $6,OO0,OOO a
year since 1890. In 1895 1t was more
than $42,0o0,O00. During the last few
years such great strides have been
made IN perfscting mining machinery

direction Of the dip. If he wishes to
follow the reef beyond these limits, he
must peg out further claims.
A single claim is Of course too small
to be proftably worked, SO what are
known as "outcrop companies" are
formed to exploit block Of contiguous
claims. AS a consequence Of. this sys-
tenn there are few small mines. The
mine owners are companies, not indi-
viduals, everything being done on CO.
lossal scale.
The great feature Of the Rand mines
is the deep level properties is,
claims located at considerable distance,
often quarter of mile, from the
original outcrop and where the reef, by
reason Of the angle Of the dip, Is reach.
ed at much greater depth. So regu-
lar is the gold distributed throughout
the reef and SO uniform is the course
iof the reef itself that even second
row Of deep levels has been opened up
In many OF the mines, where the reef
will not be struck until depth Of
sometimes 5000 and 1000 feet ID
reached.
But still the reef continues beyond

Can Toledo Keep the Centen
nial?

Toledo, O., July 12-Seventy- five
thousand dollars worth of stock was
subscribed tonight to the centennial
company by the citizens of Toledo at
a mass meeting held at Memorial hall.
The meeting was called largely to de-
termine whether the centennial could
be supported, and it is believed now
that enough money will be subscPibed
in the next 80 days to keep the exposi-
tion in this city. If it is accomplished
the money will come from the middle
classes, as the moneyed interests OF
Toledo at last nights meeting showed
but little disposition to assist the en-
terprise.
Mayor Jones was among the first to
subscribe $5O00,and two or three others
took like amount The principal
subscriptions came from the middle
classes The meeting was not all that
it could be and there is considerable
disappointment, as it was expected to
raise at least 100000. The directors
will Immediately call ward and pre-
cinct meetings over the city and they
will proceed to make a careful canvass
to secure the necessary 100000.
The work of securing the subscrip-
tions last night was largely due to the
hard work of Secretary George Hull
and David Robson, Jr., who have been
tireless in the centennial work. 1t has
been decided to continue the work at
the park and Toledo will in the next
30 days make strong fight to get the
necessary amount, Hon. ]. Kent Ham
ilton was chairman of tonight's meet
ing.

Fourth of July CASUALTIES.

The number of accidents that oc-
cur at Fourth of July indicates that
the celebration of the events we COM
memorate is far more dangerous to
life and limb than were the events
themselves. For example, everyone
had in mind Dewey at Manila and
Sampson and Schley at Santiago last
Fourth and yet in these two great and
decisive naval battles but one man
was killed According to the figures
gathered by the Chicago Tribune from
$50 cities the list of accidents is as
follows: Dead, 80; injured, 1,730;
fire losse $233,O7O; injured by can
non crackers, 731; injured by powder
explosions, 257; injured by toy cannon
259 hit by stray bullets, so. If a
casualty report numerically as great
was to be made by Gen. Otis for one
day in the Philippines the nation
would be appalled, and the statistics
presented of the misfortunes suffered
by celebrating national independence
is only a partial list.-Times Star.

American Womanhood Hon
ored.

The Womans International Con-
gress acted properly in the election of
Mrs May Wright Sewall to succeed
the Countess Aberdeen as President OF
the Congress. 1t is probably the most
distinguished honor that women have
to bestow upon woman. At the same
time, it is a distinguished tribute to
American Womanhood At the next
meeting, Mrs. Sewall will have an op-
portunity to show her capabilities as
a presiding officer. lnasmuch as she
has been called upon so frequently to
preside over assemblages OF women
in her own land she will bring to the
position ease, dignity and grace and
add luster to the cause she stands for
in her own land
The proceedings OF the late conven-
ton were of great interest to all those
who are favorably inclined toward the
higher education of women And it
may be said that the American delega-
ton to London exerted a commanding
influence in the work and discussions
Of the convention There, as else
where in the world, American infu-
enee was felt, and for the best.-Com-
mercial TrIOune.

Presidents Retinue of Repor-
terS.

During President McKinley's vaca-
tion visit at Holyoke, Mass. and neigh
boring places, newspaper correspond
ents from leading newspapers
throughout the country, to the num-
Der of fifty or more, were. on hand to
chronicle every event and move with
which the chief magistrate was con-
cerned. AT South Hadley local COM
mittee was organized to look after the
newspaper men for whose convenience
the public school house was turned
temporarily into press headquarters.
The reporters made use of the schol-
ars' desks, and telegraph instruments
and wires were installed for direct
communication with the home offices.
OF course the wire service associations
were numerously represented, while
artists in abundance made the most of
picture possibilities.

are making their home in that city.
Mr.. and Mrs. Richard Brewster re-
turned Wednesday morning from

visiting their son, ]. H, Brewster, for
several weeks past.
Miss Jennie Bess, formerly of this
place, but now of Brilliant, o., is the
guest OF her brother, P. M. Bess.
Mr. VIM. Bartlett, who recently re-
turned home from the south very
much impaired in health, has been re-
cuperating very rapidly since his re-
turn, having gained 10 pounds in less
than a week.
The B. & o. s. w. Company are put

when the switch is thrown open the
target can be turned to warn engin-

they can slow down and avoid acci-
dents.
Geo. A. Edwards, the Wllliamstown,
W. Va, oil operator, was here the
first of the week and moved the rig
belonging to Booth & Edwards, which
was located on E. M. Halseys farm,
and loaded it on the team. Many par
ties here think that they did not give
this territory fair test, as they only
went down about 700 feet on Richard
Brewster's farm and from 400 to 600
feet on Mr.. Halseys

Mclean for Governor Of Ohio.

Senator Joseph B. Foraker, Of Ohio,
returned to the Waldorf-Astoria yes
terday. When asked to give his opin-
Ion about the movement among Ohio
Democrats to nominate John r. Nc
Lean for governor, he said: 81 think
1t would be very good move on the
part of the Democrats. Mr., Mclean
would undoubtedly poll the full Dem
ocratic vote OF the State, and it is
quite probable that he would accept
the nomination"
Would Mr.. McLean's candidacy
serve to widen the breaches that now
exist in the ranks of the Ohio Repub-
licans?" was asked.
II see no reason why it should,
laughed the senator LAS | have said
before, the Republicans of Ohio always
have more or less factional squabbling
burt when election time comes around
all the factions are found standing
shoulder to shoulder, presenting a sol
i'd battle front. 1t will be the same
this year as it has always been. We
will all line up for action when the
time comes New York Tribune.

A Belprean Picked Up BY !
Fakir.

John Talson, miller, of Porterfeld
Ohio, is another victim OF the grafters
and he is shy sS5 in good cold cash
A stranger met him near the Belpre
landing, on this side of the river, pro-
pounded his shceme to Talson, who
bit with the above result.
The swlndler was arrested shortly
afterwards by Officer Haines on war
rant issued by Squire Jones and was
committed to Jail to await hearing
at o'clock Friday morning. The
money was recovered and is now in
the possession of Jailer Chas. Cook.
Talson told the Sentinel that he and
his son came here to market this
morning and were waiting at the ferry
landing to cross the river, when a man
about so years of age, with reddish
gray mustache, accosted him and ask
ed MIN if he would distribute some
bills for him.
The stranger said he would give him
dollar for his trouble.
Tatson consented and the stranger
said he would have the bills there in
a few minutes, as boy had them and
was on his way to the ferry. While
they were waiting the stranger showed
him a box containing $40 and watch,
the stranger saying he could have the
lot for $95 if he would agree to help
him sell some watches in Talson's
nelghoorhood.
Talson gave him the cash and the
stranger left. After he had gone, the
box was examined, but the cash was
missing. Talson saw through the
game then and had a warrant issued
for the fellow
officer Haines found him hiding be-
hind Kessellman's tool shop and when
searched the money was found. The
swindler claims that Talson paid him
$35 for the watch alone, which is only
worth about $5-Sentlnel.
