be accepted on a business basis without
regard to other considerations.
Upon motion of Mr.. Wilkerson, the
board, at IL o'clock, adjourned until
2.3O, when, it was understood, Mr..
Marion could have an answer.
The board re-assembled at 2.30, and
before it announced its decision, Mr.
Marion took occasion to make some
further remarks. He said, in effect, in
an argumentive rather than menacing
way, that eff you do not accept ouI
proposition, we will get control of the
road anyway and carry out our plans
all the same. You are not going tc
block our plans. But after we get 8
majority of the stock, of course, the
balance will have to look out for it
self. We can't take care of that"
Mr.. w. R. Carroll stated that if the
commissioners desired and would post
pone action until another meeting, ht
would undertake to make a canvass o
Yorkville and get business men to g
before the board and give expressions
on the subject.

1t is his business. of course, and he
becomes expert at it, as any man
might in aIy work. hut the customer
who pays any attention TO it at all is
sure TO be interested nevertheless in
the accuracy with which the butcher
cuts OF Just the required amount of
meat Whether it is two pounds Of
steak. or four pounds of chops, or six
pounds of corned beef, it's all the same
to him. He cuts without long dwelling
upon where to set the knifes. He
SLICES away sort of casuallike and
plies the saw and lays the meat on
the scales. and it does not weigh more
than a quarter or a half pound from
the weight required on even the
heaviest pieces. and on the lighter
pieces he comes within an ounce OR
two or hits it right on the nail.
A man, for instance, goes into Il
butcher shop and asks for three and a
half or four pounds of. say. corned
beef. The butcher gets big piece
out of the pickle. lays it on a block
and picks up knife. and, without the
slightest hesitation. with one strong,
smooth sweep cuts off piece, which
he lays on the scales. 1t weighs three
pounds and three-quarters. 1t is in
weight exactly midway between the
limits set.
The expert butcher gets his ability
to do this, naturally enough, from
good judgment, to start with, backed
up by long experience, but when he
cuts things as close as this even the
customer familiar with his skill looks
upon him as a wizard.-New York

GOODNESS until their antagonists were
ready for combat
The irregulars We're regular in one
sense-they were always on the scout.
It was on one of these scouts which
really amounted to raid that Colonel
Butler won his honors by deeds of per-
sonal valor. His force was sent in ad-
vance Of General Evelyn Woods column
to clear the Inhlobane mountains of the
Swazi tribe, headed by the noted chief
tain Umbelini The mountain was
stormed in true style. the savages rout-
ed and their cattle driven off.
After delay of some hours to rest
the troops. as history records it, but
more likely to bring the roaming raid
ers into shape, Colonel Butler started to
rejoin the main column. On descending
the slope an enormous force of Zulus-
30, 600, some accounts declare-were dis
covered across his pathway of retreat
There was nothing to do but to fight
for the right of way The tactics were
those now systematized under the name
of brushes. Colonel Butler was too
wise to throw his force headlong upon
the enemy, but by short spurts cleared
gap after gap and eventually brought
off his force, minus the battle casualties
only
After several sallies the Zulus were
up to the game and made the pursuit
steady and hot. Suddenly the horse of
Captain Darcy Of the Frontier Light
horse was killed under him Colonel
Butler was a large man then and quite
load enough for his brindled. eve neck
ed cob Punch. but he promptly took the
dismounted captain up behind him and
carried him forward until he got an
other mount After few more rushes
the Zulus gained on the fleeing English,
and in a skirmish with the foremost
savages Lieutenant Everett of the Light
horse lost his mount, and Colonel Bull
ler took him up behind him as he had
done Captain Darcy and literally
snatched him from the assagais of the
savages
The irregulars had been in saddle all
day. riding. fighting and destroying
Men and horses alike We're worn out,

to pretend to be as jealous as their COM
rades
The irregulars We're just the fellows
for advance and rear guard work. The
Zulus lurked among the crags of the
Transvaal hills or in the ravines of the
lowlands and were not disturbed by
shells when they had cover. But body
of fleet horsemen they knew could cut
them off, and the moment detachment
Of irregulars appeared, heading for
their lairs bands of them would spring
up from the ground, as it seemed, and
make OFF to the rear. If party of Zulus
was surrounded, it always ended in
hand to hand fight
Whenever the English appeared in
force large enough TO sweep the country
the Zulus would retreat slowly, regulat-
ing their pace by the enemys. Often
the irregulars broke into gallop, and
Butler had a task to curb them. Some
times the Zulus would run wildly from
the horsemen, but their flight was only
a ruse to draw the party into ambush.
AT the proper time the whole plain
would be alive with armed savages who
had been lying prostrate in the grass

RETURNS

The usual election crowd was on
hand last night to hear the returns
from the election.
1t was not long until the local
Democrats, those who were inter
ested in the county ticket, at least,
were a disappointed crowd.
1t was evident after two or three
precincts had been heard from, that
about five ont of six of the Jones
votes were coming from the Demo-
cratic party. This ration held good
throughout practically the entire
city and county. A large number of
voters who supported Jones voted
for no one else upon the ticket, and
in the unsettled condition of affairs
generally the county ticket went
down to inevitable defeat.
Naturally the Republican candi-
dates and their friends were highly
elated at their unexpected victory
and took pleasure in impressing the
fact upon their Democratic breth-
rem. The Democrats accepted mat
ters good naturedly, however.
Returns from the state were very
slow In coming, it being long past
the midhour before anything definite
was known.
