JOY AT KIMBERLEY.
People Cheered at Close Proximity
of the Retiring Forces

Kimberley, Nov "a (by way of Klok-
fontein, Nov. 27.)-There were a few
rifle shots early today, from the direc-
ton of Wright's farm, but this was
regarded as merely one of the numer-
Gus Boer tricks to draw our men out
by inducing us to believe that the re-
lieving forces are drawing near.
This afternoon the Beers blew up
two large culverts, near the rifle butts
on the railway line toward Spytfon-
TEN.
The news of the proximity of the
relieving forces greatly cheered the
garrison and the inhabitants. A few
Beers were seen today, but it is be-
lieved that the enemy is in only small
bands around Kimberley, lots of fifty
or So the greater part having gone to
Spytfontein, where firing is believed
to have been heard about noon.
From Kaffir sources comes report
that there are two large Boer laagers
at Olifant's dam. with $50 wagons for
water supply. The Beers have cut the
existing dam three miles distant, al
lowing the water to run down toward
their laagers into an old dry dam on
the farm. This is believed to be the
Free State base of operations on the
western boarder.
The official estimate places the num-
Der of Boer shells fired during the bonn
bardment of Kimberley at about 1000
and ours at no fewer than 600. AS the
eneTny's shells so frequently hit soft,
sandy ground. the explosive effect is
greatly neutraliZed. All our wounded
are in very satisfactory condition.
An armored train proceeded toward
Dronfield to reconnoitre, but this inn
mediately reused the enemy's cordite
gun. and the train returned after the
fifth shell had been fired. The Beers
are now firing on the reservoir fort
from wimbledon.

Effort to Be Made to Secure Co.
operation With the Following of
Edward Atkinson-Senator Du-
bois Says Democrats Must Not
Attempt to Evade Silver Issue.

Chicago Nov. 30-The silver Repub-
licans in conference here Tuesday and
Wednesday planned, it is announced.
TO ally themselves with and to make
use of the anti-imperialism agitation,
especially in eastern states, where the
silver issue does not attract. Co-o9er-
alton with Edward Atkinson's follow
ing will be sought.
The purnose of the silver Repub-
hcans is to gain. if possible, with this
new issue a foothold in eastern states,
SO that their party can truly claim TO
be a national organization and thus
become a more effective whip for hold
ing the Democrats to the Bryan and
16 to / line. This is one reason why
the silver Republicans intend to hold
big national convention of 1000 dele
gates next year. Confirmation of this
plan came today from Fred Dubois,
former senator from Idaho, chairman
OF the silver Republican executive COM
mittee.
There is no place for the Republican
anti-imperialists of New England and
the coast to go except to our party
said Mr.. Dubois THE assured COM
position of the United States senate for
several years convinces them that sill
Yer legislation cannot be passed for
many years.

questions they are with US. l am sat

20 see former Governor Boutwell, of
Massachusetts, Edward Atkinson and
men like them sitting as delegates in
our convention.
I'VE have planned for a big conven-
ton of 1000 or more. Our convention,
if held at the same place and time as
the Democratic convention, will be a
powerful stimulus against any conces-
sion by that party to the forces of I'M
righteousness. We have not much to
gain on this score. however. We are
pretty well satisfied that the Demo-
Gratis will reaffirm the platform of 1896
and renominate Mr.. Bryan That will
be enough. If, however. they should
seek to evade or subordinate the silver
cause, We'll not be their allies. In such
case we will do what many silver Re-
publicans wanted to do in 1S96-estab-
lish separate organization and nom
mate q SeDarate ticket -.

NO NEWS FROM THE FRONT.
Firing Has Been Heard In the Di-
rection of LadYsmith.

London, Dec. l, 4:40 a. m.-Beyond the
report from Estcourt that firing was
heard in the direction of Ladysmith
on Monday there is not a shred of news
of any kind from the seat of war. A
semi-official statement has been issued
that Lord Methuen's wound is not SER
ious, and that he is expected to be all
right in the course of few days. 1t is
certain, however, that the wound will
prevent his being in the saddle, and
there is great anxiety to know whether
he will be compelled temporarily to
abandon the personal direction of af-
fairs. His next in command is Colonel
Colville. commanding the guards brig
ade. He has a reputation as an eX-
cellent officer.
AS men are needed in all directions,
Lord Wolseley's announcement that a
new division will be embarked without
delay has been received with the great
est satisfaction. The transports will
soon be returning from the Cape, and
it is hoped that the men Will be dis
patched speedily. On this point the

RECORD PRICE FOR CATTLE.
Bunch of Herefords Sold In Denver
For S5.75 Per 100 Pounds.

Denver. Colo. Nov. SO.-The record
price On range beef cattle for the pres
ent year and probably for the past fif-
teen years was made in Denver to-day
when a bunch Of Hereford steers born
and raised in North Park, Colo, was
sold by Clay, Robinson & Company to
the Colorado Packing Company for
S5.75 per 100 pounds.
TIE steers averaged q weight of 1.552
pounds each. and brought the owners
1895 each. They were bred from range
cows and registered Hereford bulls,
and were 5 and 4 years of age.
They were bred by Monte Bievins. of
North Park. Colo. and were the prop
erty of his children.
The highest price recorded in this
country this year on grass fed cattle
was $3.50 paid in Chicago recently. The
price paid here will be equal to $500
per 100 pounds in Chicago. This is the
highest price paid for range cattle any
where since 1882. The steers in ques-
ton were fattened on the range, and
have never eaten anything but hay and
grass

To say that q man has Brght's

lent to saying that he stood in the
valley of the shadow Of death. The
end was only question of time.
But that was before Warmers Safe
Cure had spread its benefits over the
land.
G. II. Lincoln of Medford, Mass,
says:
"I had typhoid fever, and after it
came kidney trouble, and it was
whispered around that had Bright's
disease of the kidneys I knew what
that meant, so pitched the medicine
I had outdoors. I then bought one
bottle of Warmers Safe Cure, and
took it according to directions. The
first bottle gave me relief and T
bought a second. Before that was
gone had gained nearly ten pounds.
continued taking Safe Cure, and it
cured me-"
IT am fifty-nine years old, and en-
joy as good health as any man of
my age. If any one has kidney
trouble and Warmers Safe Cure will
not cure him, nothing will. I be-
Ieve it the best and only cure for
kidney disease on earth"
Nowhere does the proverb, delays
are dangerous" apply with more
force as in kidney arrangement.
When Bright's disease has set in the
kidney tissue is breaking down and
passing away every minute. The
strength of the body is Slapped stead

Inasmuch as Warmers Safe Cure
alone stops kidney degeneration,
should it not be used without an
hours delay when pain in the back
and head, cold skin and bad diges-

HoGG FOR SECOND PLACE.
The Proposition Was Warmly Ap.
plauded By Colonel BRYAN.

Austin, Tex, Nov 30.-While William
j. Bryan and Ex-Governor Hogg and
other politicians were making rear-end
train speeches at Elgin near this city
this afternoon, boom was started for
Ex-Governor James Hogg for second
place on the national Democratic ticket
and Mr.. Bryan warmly applauded the
proposition.
Mr.. Bryan, accompanied by Governor
Sayers; Ex-Governor Hogg. and At
torney General Smith, left this after
noon for Waco, where Mr.. Bryan will
speak tomorrow. They went via
Elgin, a small junction of some ]. 900
Inhabitants, a few miles to the south
of this city. to make the Waco con-
nection- Arriving at Elgin, the party
was received by almost the entire
population of the town. and a perfect
ovation was rendered them.
The crowd demanded some speech
making. Mr.. Bryan was the first TO
respond to the clamor and addressed
his hearers for some ten or fifteen min
utes. He reviewed the past war briefly
and asserted that the public did not
want or would they tolerate the sad
ding OLA large standing army on this
nation.
He spoke cheerfuny of the campaign
of 1900. He assured his hearers that
he was in Texas to recuperate and
prepare HlnlSe1I IOr lne coming CAM
paign and announced that the Demo-
Gratis of the country would find him
as loyal to the 10 to theory as ever
and that it would have precedence
over everything else if he would have
his saw,
Upon the conclusion of his address,
Ex-Governor Hogg spoke briefly along
the same lines. Governor Sayers fol-
lowed in a, like manner and the sur
prise was sprung on the crowd by At
torney General Smith, He extolled Mr.
Bryan as a great leader and assured
the audience that he would be elected
president in 1900. While the audience
was enthusiastically cheering this
statement, Mr.. Smith added that he
hoped to see and knew that he would
see Ex-Governor Hogg occupying the
second place on the national ticket as
he would make an excellent running
mate for Mr.. Bryan.
This created great enthusiasm and
MIR. Bryan applauded heartily with the
remainder of the crowd. Cries for Hogg
brought him to the front again and
he announced that the honor sought
to be thrust upon him was more than
he expected, that de did not want any
Office and was not looking for any,
that he thought the vice presidency
should go to a western man.
