The Modder river station master reports
that firing has been heard in the direction
OF Kimberley and the stationmaster at Bel

advancing southwark.
Flowerdew, the engine driver Of Captain
Nesbitt's train, which was derailed and
bombarded by the Beers. states that If the
train had returned when warning was re-
ceived that the Beers held the line it could
easily have made its way back to Mari
bogo but Captain Nesbitt insisted upon
an endeavor being made to reach Mafeking.
When the pilot engine was derailed, said
Flowerdew, I'VE spent a half hoUr trying
to replace It on the track. Then the Beers
commenced firing and several men were
wounded. The firing was kept up all night,
but without effect. The Beers were careful
to concentrate their fire upon the engines.

Captain Nesbitt exhibited flags of truce,
but the Beers continued their firing for
another quarter Of an hour. There is no
doubt that all the others on the train are
prisoners and that the carriage and the
ammunition intact fell into the hands Of

bruised.
There Is an unconfrmed rumor that the
imperial forces intercepted body of Trans

the Boer forces at Modder river and that
heavy engagement occurred at Spytsfon-

p. m.-The rumor that a heavy en-

without foundation. The railway authori-
ties have received a dispatch announcing
the railway line was torn up for two miles
beyond the Modder river, but no mention
was made of fighting as having occurred.

TAKEN AT THE HOME OF FORMER
CONGRESSMAN PERKINS, OF IOWA.
The Party Then Left for Milwaukee,
Retur Accompanied to Dubuque by
Governor Shaw and MIR. Allison.

SIOUX CITY. Ia, Oct. 15.-Sunday has
been quiet day for the presidential party.
At 10 O'Clock this morning the train was
brought down to the Union Station from
siding and the President and Mrs. McKin-
ley, with some members of the Cabinet,
were conveyed in carriages to the First
Methodist Church. Although no announce
ment had been made of the Presidents in
tention to attend services at this church.
the building was crowded to suffocation,
and large numbers waited outside unable to
obtain admission. The sermon was delivered
by the pastor, Rev. Robert Bagnell. After
leaving the First Methodist Church the
party was conducted by members Of the
local committee to the Sunday school Of the
Whitefield Methodist Church, where the
President was presented TO the school by
ex-Congressman George D. Perkins. Ad-
dressing the members of the Sunday school,
Mr.. Mckinley said:
In the moment shall tarry have only
time to say to this group Of young people
and older people, Hail and farewell and
wish for all of them the realization of all
that is noble in life and character under
government of high privileges and of great
opportunity"

was taken from the Union Station and
again conveyed to a side track, some five
miles from the city, in order to avoid the
scrutiny Of the large crowds which con-
tinued to throng about the depot. The peo-
pie Of Sioux City expressed considerable
disappointment because of the late arrival
of the train last night and the consequent
inability to carry out the programme ar
ranged for, and to allow all the people a
glimpse of the chief magistrate. The Pres
ident has been urged to attend receptions
and other functions of a public character
to-day, but has steadfastly refused, pre-
ferring to spend Sunday quietly Toward
evening the Presidents private car was de-
tached from the train, and he and the men,
bers Of the Cabinet were again conveyed to
the city. where a quiet dinner was enjoyed
by them at the residence of ex-Congressman
Perkins. The train left for the East soon
after 10 o'clock.
The weather has been intensely disagreea-
BILE, great quantities of dust filling the air
during the morning and a heavy wind pre-
vailing. Late in the afternoon a driving
rain set in and continued throughout the
evening. Governor Shaw and Senator Alli-
son accompanied the train in private car
and will make the trip with the President
as far as Dubuque. Milwaukee will be
reached tomorrow evening.

HERRING-HALL CASE.
Reasons Advanced as to Why a Pend.

CINCINNATI, Oct. 15.-The Enquirer will
say tomorrow: The fact that last week
the hearing before United States Judge
Fitzpatrick at Trenton. N. j.. of the Her
ring-Hail- Marvin receivership case was
postponed for two weeks at the request Of
the receivers, is variously interpreted by
those In interest, but not on the inside. II
is stated the postponement is directly in
line with the representations Of the Cincin-
natl stockholders. 1t Is also held that the
Cincinnati contingent is intending to buy
the Western plant, at Hamilton, and this
took Mr. Rawson TO Trenton to show why
the bid of the reorganization committee for
the entire property should not be accepted"

MILWAUKEE,. Wis, Oct 15.-The Mil
waukee Street-railway Company has been
using cars for the purpose of delivering
freight. Stone has been delivered to sew
eral companies in this city. which, 1t is
claimed, is in direct violation of the charter
of the company. Manager Beggs, when

ii was not violation of the charter as the
stone belonged to the company until it was
delivered to the purchaser. II this holds
good the company can at once enter into
freight traffic the same as steam railway.
The company is now equipped with a large
number Of freight cars. and 1t is reported
that arrangements have been made where
by in the future the company will do an
extensive freight business during the night

proof that we have the heather in

at home, but is not proof that

evidence that these belligerants

reform most needful at home is a
political one and not moral. The
people generally are refined and

they have been swerved from the

unholy alliance of uncongenial
political force till the higher sen;i-

farmer with an available artificial
wafer supply and perpetual sun
shine for eight months in the year
fears no crop failure. The wide
range of farm products that is
made possible by the conditions of
soil and season reduces to mini
mum the element of uncertainty of
prices. The certain yield and the
diversified products make a sure
profit for every farmer of thousands
in this fertile valley. The fruit
and vegetables which may be
classed as our special products will
always find special markets. The
demand for these articles of COM
merce can never be exceeded and
the profits at present prices will
give certain wealth to every pro-
ducer who gives to the work well
directed energy. Therefore the
orchard-garden farms of this valley
will make it the richest valley in
the United States. There is not
another farming district in the
United States that will produce
without fear of crop f lure as wide
range market specialties that
never lack for buyers as are pro-
duced in this little valley. These
special crops fix commercial
value upon this land that is as
positive as gravitation. Every
