There seems to be slight misunder-
standing in the minds of some as to
the attitude of the Republican in the
coming senatorial contest. There
should not be. The Republican has
always supported General Grout and
will do so in the future, to the best of
its ability and by every honorable
means, so long as that gentleman
continues to render the State the
faithful service for which his public
career has thus far been distinguished.

General White, who is in command

General White, who is in command
of the English forces in Africa, ap-
pears to have been outmaneuvered
by General Joubert, who was in com
mand of the Beers, last week. The
Beers are making the most of their
chances while England is preparing
for war, but when once the English
troops on the way to Africa are landed
superiors also made mistake in not
being better prepared for war when
they must have known for some time
that it was inevitable.

1t is announced that Col. Joel O..
Baker of Rutland has been prevailed
upon to enter the lists for congress
sional honors in this district. This
adds to the interest Of an already in
Ieresting contest. Col. Baker is an
able man in every way qualified for
national representative. The people
of this district could not find a man
within its confines who would repre-
sent them with greater distinction.
He is, too, a man whom Rutland
would delight to honor and there is
no doubt that if the people believe he
is to make the canvass to secure the
honor for himself that this county will
rally strongly to his standard and give
him a solid, earnest-working delega-
ton to the convention. If they
imagine they see in bis candidacy,
however, one made in the interests Of
Judge Powers there is more than apt
to be the liveliest kind of fight put
up in this county for many day

With regarde to the situation at
Ladysmith since the fighting on Sun
day, the only news in London is a de-
spatch saying that general White was
still holding the town. As to the i'm
mediate prospect, little can be added
to what has already been said. Great
reliance seems to be placed on the
services to be rendered by the heavy
naval guns, said to be three in num-
Der, now at Ladysmith, and it is hoped
that by neutralizing the effect of the
heavy French guns of the Beers the
place may be saved or the necessity
for a retreat averted.

Principal of Texas School Shot Down
by the Head Janitor.
While services were in progress at the
First Christian Church. at Dallas. Texas,
Prof. Lipscomb was shot down by John
T. Carlisle directly in front Of the pulpit
from which the preacher was speaking.
The wounded man attempted to grapple
with his assailant. but was MORALLY In
jured and sank into the arms of friends.
He fingered unconscious for an hour and
expired in his wife's arms on the altar.
Carlisle was turned over to the police.
who had been summoned by some OF the
panic-stricken congregation. When seen
at the police station he appeared to be
under the influence of liquor. He refused
to make any statement. Prof. LipscomD
was principal of the Central high school,
and went there four years ago from
Nashville. Tenn. Carlisle until recently
was head janitor Of the high school. 1t is
believed that his removal actuated the
shooting. He attributed his loss of posi-
ton to Prof. Lipscomb's influence.

City Of et. Louie WALL Ask 1ssue OF IN
Ipjunction.
Proceedings viii be instituted soon In
the Federal Court at Chicago to prevent
the operation Of the Chicago drainage
canal The city Of st. Louis will be the
plaintiff, represented by City Counselor
Schumacher. This was decided at the
meeting Of the joint committee OF the st.
Louis City Council and house OF dele
gates which was appointed several weeks
ago to investigate the drainage canal en-
terprise and recommend steps to protect
the city's interest.
Various plans were discussed for pre-
venting the pollution Of the city's water
supply. proceedings by injunction being
regarded as the most feasible. Afterward
the committee asked Mr.. Schnurmacher
for written opinion as to the standing
the city would have IN the courts. The
committee met to consider Mr.. Schnur-
macher's advice. This was 10 the effect
that the city or any resident of st. Louis
could enjoin the operation of the canal II
IL could be shown that any interest would
be threatened by the pollution Of the wat
er. Resort should be had to the United
States Court at Chicago, in Mr.. Schnur-
macher's opinion The committee dis
cussed the matter for an hour and half,
and then drafted a joint resolution d.
recting the city counselor to institute such
legal proceedings as might be necessary.
The action Of the committee following d.
rectly on the visit to St Louis of the
State inspectors from Chicago is consid-
cred significant.

miles from the Vaal river, and if an at
tack were to be made from Natal there
would be mountains to work through and
much tropical growth
"The question of transportation would
be serious. We would need thousands OF
mules. which must be brought from South
America. The ocean distance and the
adverse climate would kill the animals off
by the hundreds, and the actual work
would entail even greater losses.
will Need 10000 Men
"There is question OF strategy as well.
The Beers would be dificuh to hit in a
mass. Indeed, they might not be nsobil-
lied in a European sense at all. N an
arid, rocky country, filled with splendid
shots, with no real objective point TO
capture, with a disaffected or actively
hostile population on your flank or rear,
the conquest Of the Transvaal would be
one Of the most arduous undertakings we
ever entered upon. In my opinion no less
than 10000 men would be required. Your
own Philippine war is not so diAicult. In
deed, it is folly to underestimate the. mill
tary strength Of the Transvaal, which
proceeds not alone from the material
character Of the population but also from
the nature Of the country itself.
"And the Beers are armed to the teeth.
The money raised by taxation Of the Uit-
landers has been spent in arms and artil-
lery, so that the republic repeats on
small scale the military camp which the
continental powers exhibit on great
scale"
How excellent marksman the Boer is
may be inferred from England's past ex-
perience with him. In one engagement
in the SOS out Of total English force
of between GOO and 700 the loss in a few
hours was 2S3 killed and wounded-near-
ly half the force. 1t is literal fact that
the great majority of the dead soldiers
were found to have been shot through the
head, q hole in the helmet OF each of the
fallen showing the mark at which the
farmer rilemaB bad aimed.
The commander Of the Beers in the
event Of hostilities will be Gen. p. J.
Joubert, who has successfully measured
swords before with the English. Gen.
Joubert is an American. having been born
in Uniontown, Pa. in 1871.

Walla Tonks IL Put 60 Death In Spite
of courts OrdsF.
william Goings, the Choctaw Indian,
known also by the name Of "Walla Ton
"a was executed at Alikichi, l. t., for
the murder of his uncle, Mason Goings-
The execution took place at o'clock, and
was sickening sight. A quilt was spread
ON the ground near the court house, and
near IL four Indians placed coffin. A
few minutes later the prisoner, In charge
Of Sheriff Watson and deputy, and es-
corted by twenty light 'horsemen, march
ed down the line Of spectators. Goings
babe them good-by, and knelt on the
quilt blindfolded. The sheriff barred his
breast and painted a spot over the heart;
he then stepped back four PAGES, rested
q rifle over bench and fired, but missed
the painted spot. Goings fell back and
moaned an hour before expiring. Water
was poured down his throat a number OF
times to hasten his death by strangula-
ton.
A writ Of habeas corpus was granted
by Federal Judge John II. Thomas, but
when 1t was delivered by two deputy
marshals the sheriff refused to receive 1t.
While the execution was proceeding Dis
trict Attorney Clay remarked: I'VE are
making history" 1t remains to be seen
what action the United States Govern
ment will take for defiance of the writ.
Walla Tonka was a full-blooded Choc-
taw. He was born in the Indian Terri
tory twenty-four years ago. In his 18th
year he stabbed and killed his uncle, ia
cob Lewis, and shortly after engaged in

charges and acquitted, but was convicted

ings, in 1896, and was sentenced to be

DUN'S REVIEW or PRESENT
TRADE CONDITIONS.
Present Year the Most Prosperous
Ever Recorded-Receipts OF Grain
Are Unexpectedly Large-Boy's Ex-
perience with Two Burglars.

X. G.. Dun & Co.'s weekly review Of
trade says: Because every prospect
pleases 1t is the right time to watch most
closely for signs Of trouble. But it is not
easy to find them when the volume OF
business is 63.7 per cent larger than last
year, and 1855 larger than in 1892, the
best of all years except the last, or when
failures continue the smallest ever known,
or when the exports of staples begin TO
improve materially, or when railroad bus
mess Is by far the best ever known, or
when New York bankers appear in inter
national operations, listening to Russian
inquiry and undertaking a Mexican loan.
Even the industrial disputes incident to
the season cause less trouble than usual,
the largest of them having been settled by
the Tnplate company. The Bank OF
England finds it difficult to borrow more
from this side and frankly raises its
rate, while this country begins to ship
fresh crops for which Europe will run
into debt. In striking contrast with OFF,
cisl and other wheat reports are the re-
corded receipts at Western ports-S,OSS,-
146 bushels in two weeks, against l,4Il,-
739 last year. 1t is not strange that prices
have declined 1 rs cents, and exports, hour
included, were from Atlantic ports in July
thus far A, 1S5, GA bushels, against 4,OS3,-
312 last year, and from Pacific ports
I010,4 S5, against sol, 100 last year, be-
sides sos, 5S5 bushels this year from other
ports. Corn exports are also surprising,
5,S15,214 bushels in two weeks, against
1861 ,09S last year, but less surprising
than Western receipts-10, 512,341 bush
els, against 4,561, OH last year. Never
theless the price advanced * cent. Fail

TELLS A REMARKABLE TALE.
Murderer Swart Relates the Strange
History of His Life.

Emil Swart, one Of the Meier murder
ers, has told the Chicago police q remark
able tale, which he says is the true his
tory of his life. He asserts that he ran
away from home when II years Of age
and shipped on n German merchantmen
for the Indian ocean. The vessel was at
tackled by pirates in the China sea and
Swart was taken to Fornosa, where he
was made body servant to the daughter
of the pirate chief.
After six years of constant companions
ship the girl fell in love with him and
planned his escape. They put to sea in an
open boat and six days later were picked
up by a vessel bound for Canton, where
they lived two years. One day the wom-
an eloped with wealthy Englishman-
Swart went to Australia and worked for
while in the gold fields. One night his
cabin was attacked by a band of blacks
and when they retrcatcd they left on the
battlefield wounded woman. Swart
nurscd her to health and left with her for
England. At Suez she died. In the same
city, a few days later, he met the pirate
chiefs daughter and the Englishman. The
latter, fearing that the woman would
return TO Swart, cut her throat and fed.
Swart then came TO America and has
since been leading life Of crime.

for the national educational convention,
ran into freight train near the depot at
Newman, CAL. early Monday morning
with the result that three ladies were
killed and eleven other passengers were
injured one most severely.
The special was going at a speed of
forty miles an hour and was supposed to
have clear track. when, in the early
morning, 1t crashed into feed train
which was taking water on the main
track with no light out. The tender of
the locomotive was forced into the end of
the forward sleeper, there being no bag
gage TO block it. The freight cars took
fire, but the Newman volunteer fire de-
partment turned out and saved the pas
senger train from the flames and also
most Of the freight train. A special was
made up and the injured passengers were
sent to San Francisco. The other pas
sengers proceeded on their way to Los
Angeles.
