KRUGER ISSUES PROCLAMATION
Warns All Beers to Lenyc .Jobanncs-
burg and il is Believed He In
tends Blowing Up City.

Copyright, 1899, by Press Publishing Coz
CAPETOWN Oct. 21.-(New York World
Cablegram-Special Telegram )-Delayed
and censored by British military authori-
tles.)-President Kruger has issued a proc
lamation to the effect that all Beers must
leave Johannesburg at once. clause in
the pronunciamento liberates all inmates
or prisons within the city's limits
Inc manifesto goes into effect at once
This move OF Kruger is interpreted to mean
that he intends Immediately to demollsh tho
city with dynamite.
Johannesburg is in the center OF the gold
mining region and is a metropolis of the
English residents in the land of the Beers
and the British own a great deal of property
there.
General Joubert, commander in chief of
the Boer forces, has issued a proclamation
announcing to the British colonlsts that
the South African republic was forced into
war by evil l-disposed capitalists.
A force of Beers set fire to two trucks
laaen with dynamite, which had been left
Handing by the British miners near Mafe-
king. The dynamite exploded, killing more
than eighty Beers and wounding many 9TH
ers. The Beers were under the impression
that the trucks contained medical stores and
provisions, which, as they had no immediate
use for them themselves, they desired to
keep from falling into the hands OF the Eng
lish.
About 700 Beers who were wounded in
the recent battles with the British have been
sent to the rear. to make their way TO the
Raad basin, where they will go into hos
pitfalls,
The Robinson, Crown Rec and Bonanza
mines have been seized by the Beers, and
are being worked by them. All OF these
mines are owned by British capitalists.

Friends of Departing Soldiers See
Them on Bonrd the Trnnsports.

LONDON, Oct. 21.-London gave the
Guards a grand farewell today on their de-
parture for Southampton, where they en-
barked for the Cape. Three battalions, the
First Scots, the Second Coldstreams and the
Third Grenadiers left. The fact that the
day was raw and foggy did not prevent a
large crowd from assembling at Chelsea bar
racks at o'clock and when the frst detach-
ment wheeled out the barrack gates the peo-
pie cheered until they were hoarse. All
along their route great ovation awaited
tho troops. The spectators included the
wives and sweethearts of the men. Before
many yards were covered the ranks were
broken, the women linking arms with the
soldiers. Friends grasped the rifles and kits
of the soldiers and insisted on carrying them
The men marched to the platform, singing
while the band played Scotch airs in which
the crowd joined.
The Second Coldstreams marched to Nine
Elms station amid similar enthusiasm and
many affecting scenes. The officers allowed
the men TO mix freely with the line Of
march before they reached the station. The
Guards left in detachments and the last Of
the Scots and Coldstreams did not depart
until some time past noon. Zach successive
contingent was cheered by the increasing
spectators until serried ranks Of people lined
the route.
WELLINGTON, n. a., Oct. 21.-The New
Zealand contingent, numbering 21S men,

tive council and the House of Representa-
tives, mayors and judges. The governor OF
New Zealand, the earl of Ranfurly, the pre-
mier, Rt. Hon. II. p. Seddon, and the

Ball Bearing. Did II.

Bicycles were invented centuries
ago. but it required the magic touch of
the Nineteenth century inventor to
make the wheel most useful We
hicle, instead of a mere toy.
Ball bearings did it. 1t was q case
where the improvement has proved
greater than the original invention.
The principle that reduces friction to a
minimum in q bicycle is applicable to
all machinery, and the cost is the only
obstacle in the way of what will be
known in history as the Light Draft
Era" in mechanics. Millions of dol
lars have been spent IN this direction.
The Deering Harvester Company, of
Chicago, solved the problem, as far as
grain binders and mowers are con-
cerned, by equipping their machines
with roller and ball bearings in 1891
Other manufacturers in this line
have since followed with several kinds
of experimental roller bearings, but
the Deering machines are still alone in
the field with ball bearings of the BIZ
cycle pattern.
The Deering Company's annual cata-
logue for 1899 contains some very in
tercsting historical matter on this sub
ject, fully illustrated. The book also
describes the largest factory in Amer
lea and gives the latest news on the
subject or harvesting machinery. Send

True Value of Ceremony.

ried a couple. The registers were
signed, and nothing remained but the
giving and taking Of the fee. The
bridegroom. a strapping young fellow,
asked: How much is it?" The par
son glanced at the smiling bride and
slyly answered: whatever you think
It's worth" Now. it should have been
worth a good deal, for the girl was
young and pretty.
i reckon it's worth about so cents"
said the swain, holding out two quar-
tiers. The clergyman looked blankly at
the two coins, then turned to the fair
one.
"1'll leave it to you. madam" he
said. What do you think it's worth?"
The blushing bride reached out, took
the coins, handed one quarter to the
minister and put the other into her
pocket! "A thrifty wife," said the
Canadian, with a sigh, "is her hus-
bands crown"

ability for farming, and the advan-
tages It offers TO the agricultural im-
migrant from the United States:
We came here rolely to look up inn
proved farms and, If suitable, to Sc
lect such as pleased US best. We have
not visited the homestead districts. at
all, though we believe them to be very
inviting. Our inquiries have been
confined solely to the district around
Hartney. Deloraine and towards the
Souris River in Manitoba. Our i'm
pressions Of all that region are in
every way satisfactory, and we have
decided to go, back to Iowa at once.
and, having disposed OF our several
interests there, to return to Manitoba
In the month Of March next, and, eff
fecting our purchase Of improved
farms. which We find we can do at
reasonable rates, Immediately begin
farming. We are greatly pleased with
all that we have seen in that part of
Western Canada. The soil we find to
be more than equal to that Of our own
country for wheat-growing, and the
other conditions Of climate, schools,
markets, ETC., are all that we could
wish for.
ITO show what an energetic man
can do we may mention that we found
one such at Hartney who had rented
farm on shares, receiving two-thirds
Of the returns as his share of the
crop. When he came to sell his own
produce he found that his two-thirds,
when converted into cash, was enough
to buy the farm he rented out and
out, which he accordingly did, and is
now its owner. 1t is our intention to
induce as many Of our friends as pos
sible. who are practical farmers, to re-
move from Iowa to this country,
where we believe there is better
future for the Industrious man than
is now to be found anywhere on this
continent. We are we'll known in our
part of the state of Iowa. and we in
vite correspondence from it's residents
In all parts with regard to this re-
g:on of Western Canada which we
have visited, and to which We intend

There is no longer any doubt that

grouse Is veritable master of ceremo-

to prepare their ball room by heating
down the grass with their wings, and
tnen to dance something suspiciously
like the Lancers. BY twcs and fours
they advance, bowling their heads and
dropping their wings; then they re-
cede and then advance again, and turn
on their toes, swelling their feathers
and clucking gently.
