ENCOURAGING NEWS.
ELEVEN THOUSAND BOERS AT
SPYFONTEIN TO CHECK
BRITISH ADVANCE.
General Butler Gone to the Front
Two Great Battles Soon to oe
Fought-Alliance Between Boer
Transvaalers and Natals Strained
Kimberley Holding Out.

London, Dec. S.-This mornings dis
patches from the front brings new OF
a much more encouraging nature foE
the success of British arms than has
been the case for some tirle.
From scattered pieces of intelligence,
which arrive from different parts of
the scene of war, it is possible to de-
rive a general impression of a success
full progress and an abundant promise
for the future.
General Butler has gone to Frere,
where General Clery preceded him by
three days. With the cummander-in>
chief in the camp of the relief column
it seems to be a we'll founded SUPPOSE
ton that all the preliminaries have
been arranged, and tina. the advance
to raise the siege of Ladysmith will be-
gin very soon, If it is moi now actually
under way.
The British will not march very far
before finding Beers on their front.
Even If a flank movement should be
made, the Transvaal leaders have the
entire region of the Tugela and Little
Tugela rivers covered by their alert
and swift moving scouting parties.
The great mobility Of the Boer col
umn is not SO much effected by their
having to carry along artillery as the
British experts predicted.
General Butler can count on having
his crossing on further advance Stub
bornly contested. The Beers have
moved part Of their main force from
Grobler's kloof to near Vonderbrook
spruit. Four thousand Free Staters
are fortified on the slopes Of the Black
mountains, ten miles west of Colenso,
while "Reminiscences from Frere have
developed the existence Of fortified
camps below the ridges on the border
of the North Tugela, east Of Colenso.
Wherever Butler feints or actually
crosses he will find the Beers waiting
for him.
A continuance of the campaign will
subject the alliance between the two
republics to a considerable strain. II
appears to have done so already in Ma
tai. Rumors are again at hand that
large forces Of the enemy are begin
ming to move from Lndysmith toward
Drakensberg passes, which seems like
ly. If Orange State burghers are not
only disciplined to enter battle, but
anxious for the security of their
homes, General Schalk Burger will not
have an easy task to keep White with
in his entertainments should his allies
begin to desert him.
The Beers have some heavy guns
mounted to defend the approach to La
dysmith, but General Butler, 1t is
known, has greatly strengthened this
important arm of his column. From
the west also conles cheering news A
sortie from Kimberley IN November
Is proves that the besiegad garrison
is able to cope with the Beers whenever
it feels inclined. With The help IF q
flying column it forced its way almost
to S%pytfontein and Schlotz kop.
General Methuen has reslmei :pm>
mand of his troops at Modder river.
The news that engineers are building
their bridge rapidly is taken to mean
that the railway bridge is being re-
paired for the passage Of naval guns.

MAY BORE SHERMAN HILL.

Omaha, Dec. president Burt, En-
gineer Berry and General Manager
Dickinson of the Union Pacific road
have gone east to attend a meeting Of
the directors of the comany in New
York. They will urg upon the direc-
tors the necessity for many physical
improvements in the road. The most
important Of these will be the tunnel
ing Of Sherman hill in Wyoming. This
is the steepest grade on the road, and
has been a source Of great delay to
traffic. All efforts to find a way to
avoid the hill have proven futile, and
the engineers say the only way is to
put up with present conditions or tun-
mel through the hill. While the tun-
mel would be the longest on the CONT
nent, 1t is not thought to present any
great engineering probled.

The first indication Of Group is
hoarseness, and in a child subject to

sign of the approach Of an attack.
Following this hoarseness is a pecul-

Cough Remedy is given as soon as the
child becomes hoarse, or even after
the croupy cough appears 1t will pre-
vent the attack. 1t is used in many

OPTIMISTIC COFFEE TALK

CHANGES HANDS.
II. llackfed & Co. Make Large Pur-
chases. Consolidate and viii Operate
1t Under One Management.

HlLO, June Coffee. far from be-
ing killed or even frost bitten by the
sugar boom, is taking new lease OF
life under more favorable financial cir
cumstances than ever before. The area
has been somewhat limited, but u
large portion of the best coffee and
best coffee land is still devoted to its
original use.
II. Ilackfeld q Co.. limited. have of
late made several extensive purchases
of Olaa coffee lands. which will be
consolidated and operated by that
firm under the management of Mr.
Souza, who was formerly manager of
the Olaa Coffee Company. Among the
places recently purchased by them are
800 acres from Mr.. James for 100000;
200 acres from Mr.. Motley for $4,000;
200 acres from Mr.. Under for $1,000:
$50 acres from Herman Elderts for
Sl53OO. and 200 acres from II. ID. Jun
kin for 100000.
II. Haclfeld d Co. have already
have S5O0.0OO invested i'm coffee ener-
prises i'm the Islands. and will proceed
rapidly to extend the area and scope
of their operations. They have large
mills in Honolulu. Kailua and liilo the
machinery for the latter probably ar
irving by the Amy Turner. which is
about sailing from San Francisco.
This mill will be operated by two lrge
electric motors.
The value of the coffee yearly inn
ported into the United States is near
ly. if not quite as large as that of SUI
gar. SSO.OOO,0OO being importd from
Brazil. and something like $4,000, 900
from Central America and other parts.
1t is probable that before long the
United States will put Il protective du-
ty upon foreign cotfees for the protec-
ton of the industry in her new posses
sions. in which case coffee will exceed
sugar as dividend producing crop in
Hawaii.
HAAIAKUA, June 1.-The labor sup
ply at present seems to be in very
healthy condition and very few or no
complaints are heard from them. The
coffee throughout the district is look
ing very well and shows no evidence
of disease The maulla homesteads. oc-
cupied more especially by Portuguese,
are nearly all planted more or less to
coffee trees and in every instance the
success has equaled all expectations of
the planters.-IIilo Tribune.

one cause To be successful one must
look ahead and plan ahead so that
when a favorable opportunity presents
itself he is ready to take advantage of
it. little forethought will also save
much expense and valuable time. A
prudent and careful man will keep a
bottle of Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy in the house,
the shiftless fellow will wait until nee
essity compels it and then ruin his best
horse going for a doctor and have big
doctor bill to pay, besides; one pays out
25 cents the other is out hundred do;-
lars and then wonders why his neighbor
is getting richer while he is getting
