exceedingly attractive man, ana won the

Wheat threshing was about finishing
here this week, and, while in some IN
stances the turnout was good the ylelu'
as a general thing, was below the ave
rage. But the quality Of the grain Is
excellent. and this nearly compensa'es
for the shortage in quantity.

Light-haired and reckless, fond and free

So deep Of chest and long of limb.
with manly mouth and dimpled chin.
And eyes with deep fires drowned within

Who well his kindly merits knew.

To dream a ship from Afric's port
Ey storm and sea long made the sport
Reset, bespoiled with fever's germs;
The cargo gnawed by rats and worms;
The captain lying where he died

LADYSMI1H INVESTED.
Boer Version of the Situation
In South Africa.
SAYS GEN. WHITE Is WOUNDED.

Free staters Seize Colenso. Thus Cutting
Off Retreat of Whites Force-Surren.
der of Mafelsing Is Expected-News
From the Front Is Scarce.
PARIS, Nov. 3.-The Havas agency
publishes the following extraordinary
dispatch which the agency says was re-
ceived through it's correspondent at
Brussels:
Capetown-The news of the Boers'
two victories around Ladysmith has
created considerable excitement among
the Afrikanders, who do not conceal
their joy. Sir Alfred Miner, the Brit
lsh high commissioner, is much per-
turbed at their attitude. General
White in these two engagements lost
about $50 men killed, wounded and
prisoners. The second victory was won
by the Free Staters, commanded by
Captain Lucas Meyer, who seized Co
lenso, thus cutting off the retreat of
General White, who is wounded The
investment of Ladysmith is complete
and the Beers are masters of Pieter-
maritzburg and the Durham railway.
News has reached General White that
Mafeking is closely besieged and the
Beers have successfully repulsed the
sorties. The surrender of Mafeking is
expected. 1t is also confirmed that the
Free Staters have seized Colesburg.

OBITUARY..

1t was with deep regret that we
chronicled last week the death of Mrs.
M. Flahive. At that time we were not
able to give the full particulars of the
noble life 80 sadly ended, and we do so
now.
Mrs. Flahive was born on Amherst
Island, County of Lenox, Ontario on
March IA, 1854, and received liberal
education at the excellent high school
at Bath. She came to Crawford county
in 1880 and was known as one of our
best and mosteflicient school teachers.
OThe deceased leaves a husband. four
brothers, three sisters and father, to
mourn her loss.

The report concludes: "Our control

against the dismemberment of their
country, commercial and industrial
prosperity and as large a share of the
affairs of government as they shall

A good audience listened to Rev.
Nugent's lecture (?) last night at the
Germania Hall. j. B Romans intro
duced the speaker who talked on poll
tical questions from democratic stand
point, although he claimed he was Civ
ing an unbiased talk. He spoke of
trusts in connection with both parties
and seemed to think that the republi-
can was not against them. Everyone
knows that this is not so, that the re-
publican platform declares itself op-
posed to them. That trusts are great
iniquities no one doubts, but to say
that the party now in power is not seek
ing way to legislate and control them
is false.
In speaking of our war in the Philip
pines, he said the flag had wrongfully
been placed there. After defeating
Spain nothing else was left for us to do
but to take control of them. We could
not give them back to Spain, because
her government had dealt even worse
with them than with the Cubans, and
we could not sell them, for we were un-
der obligations to give them the best
government possible. What better
government is there than our own?
We could not let them have self-gov-
ernment for they are not capable of it.
From Fl st to last his speech was
nothing but an exposition against the
republican party, although his subject
''Iron and Steel Against Brain and
muscle" would indicate that the demo-
Gratis and all the rest of the people
were included.

Charges Bribery.

The Bulletin very ill advisedly makes
charges that the republicans of Craw-
ford county have been resor,ing
bribery in order to carry the coming
election. The charge is wholly false,
untrue and without foundation and
the people of this county well know it.
They know that neither the decent
democrats nor the decent republicans
of this county have ever conducted
such a campaign. Our elections are as
pure in this county as in any on earth.
Neither Mr.. Kemming nor Mr.. Nichol.
son, we are sure, would countenance
any such proceeding as that charged by
the Bulletin. Everyone who knows
Ben Nicholson knows that anything
dishonest is utterly loathsome to him
and that he and the republicans of
Crawford would prefer to lose the
county by 100000 majority rather than
to carry it by bribery 1t is a shame
that so good business man, so thor
oughly as reputable a business man as
hAA' 4>iSuOlSOA CduuOU iudldSc d CALL
paign without thatmiserable little pup
py Casweil charging him with bribery.
In this county the people know that no
briberies have been attempted on
either side and the stories have fallen
flat, but what of the reputation it gives
us among outside people? We notice
that the Des Moines Leader has al
ready reprinted the Bulletins article
thus giving to the state at large the i'm
preston that our people are corrupt
bribe givers and bribe takers.
In behalf of the decen. men of both
parties we object to these false state
ments. We must all live together after
election as we'll as before and there is
no possible sense in trying to make
party capital by unfounded and lying
charges of corruption.

Tuesdays Engagement.

LONDON, Nov. Especial dispatches
from Ladysmith give further details re-
garding the renewal of the lombard
ment. The Beers, having re-occupied
their old positions, remounted big guns.
Their firing was accurate, but almost
harmless. Some of the troops were
slightly injured by splinters. Lieuten-
ant F. G. Egerton and his men from the
Powerful did splendid work and quickly
silenced the Boer guns. The Beers ac-
knowledge having suffered heavy losses
i'll men and horses in the previous battle.
General Jan Kock, who was second
in command in the Transvaal forces and
who was wounded in the battle of
Elandslaagte, died in the hospital at
Ladysmith Monday night.
Little light is thrown on the actual
situation by the news received today.
The magnitude of Mondays fight, how
ever is evident. Virtually three actions
were raging simultaneously, but it is
obvious that the intention to roll back
the Orange Free State troops was not
achieved. Lord Frederick Roberts of
Candahar, commander of the forces in
Ireland, while reviewing the troops at
Kilkenney, said: "It is useless to dis
guise the fact that we are engaged in a
very serious war, war which will put
our resources and courage to severe
test"
A report that Boer force with guns
from Koomatipoort is making its way
through Zululand is held to indicate
an intention to seize the railway be-
tween Colonso and Pietermaritzburg, if
it has not already been seized. This
however, will soon be known, as ar
mored trains are patrolling the line.
The real question now is can General
White hold out ten days or two weeks,
until the army corps arrives. Less anx-
iety would be felt on his account were
it not that every day seems to bring
fresh list of casualties, proving that
much has been concealed as to the real
state of affairs. At the best the coming
week must prove critical and anxious
time.

Tortured By
 Rheumatism.
A Purely Vegetable Blood
 Remedy Is the Only Cure.

If the people generally knew the true cause of Rheumatism, there would be no such thing as lini- ments and lotions for this painful and disabling disease. The fact is, Rheumatism is disordered state of the blood-it can be reached, therefore, only through the blood. But all blood remedies can not cure Rheumatism, for it is an obstinate disease, one which requires real blood remedy-something more than a mere tonic. Swift's Specific is the only real blood remedy, and it promptly goes to the very bottom of even the most obstinate case.
 A few years ago was taken with in- hammatory Rheumatism, which, though mild at first, became gradually 80 in- tense that was for weeks unable to walk. I tried several prominent physi- cians and took their treatment faith fully, but was unable to get the slightest relief. In fact, my condition seemed to grow worse, the pains spread over my entire body, and from November to March I suffered agony. I tried many patent medicines, but none relieved me. Upon the advice of friend l decided to try s. s. s. Before allowing me to take it, however, my guardian, who was 6 chemist, analysed the remedy, ard pro- nounced it free of potash or mercury
