Pretoria, Sept. /. - The British dip.
loluatic agent here, Mr.. Conyngham
Greene. has handed to the secretary of
state, Il. w. Reitz, the reply Of the
British secretary of state for the colo
MES, Mr. Joseph Chamberlain, to the
TranSvaars alternative proposals to
the joint commission suggested by
Great Britain to inquire into the eff
feet which the proposed franchise re-
form measures will have upon the
Ouitlanders. Mr.. Greene afterward
had n long audience with the state Of
ficials. The nature of the dispatch is
not disclosed. but was subject to the
consideration of the executive .yester-
day afternoon. 1t is understood that
another conference may occur at
Cape Town. The result is anxiously
awaited.
London, Sept. 1. - The Times says,
cditorially, this morning: ''rhere is
til" best reason to believe that the
recent note of Mr.. Chamberlain will be
almost the last occasion on which
Great Britain will ask President Kru-
ger if he is in earnest over his recent
promises Of reform. This note will I'M
doubtedly be pressed, and when a
reasonable time has passed for an
answer Great Britain will no longer
pay attention to President Kruger's
words. but rely solely OH actions. The
Beers must bear in mind that through
out the entire controversy tine Cologne
Gazette has warned the Transvaal
that it was placing itself in an I'M
favorable position and that in the
event of war nobody would lift a
finger to prevent the destruction of the
republic"
London. Sept. 1.-The Pretoria cor
respondent of the Morning Post says:
'"rhe Boer officials. after reading re-
ports of Mr.. Chamberlain's Birming-
ham speech, consider that war is un-
avcidable. The speech has infiamed
the war spirit The Beers are now
armed, except those in johannesburg.
Their organization is strong. The 10
hanncsberg forts have been reinforced
with several quick-tiring guns. The
ammunition which Mr.. Schreiner al
lowed to pass through Cape Colony
came direct to Pretoria. 1t was never
intended for the Orange Free State.
President Kruger does not hesitate to
express the opinion that war is almost
inevitable"

From Manager McCutchen of the
Iowa University foot ball team comes
the statement that the annual Thanks
giving foot ball game with Nebraska
in this city has not been declared off
because of any dissatisfaction with the
treatment accorded the teams here in
the past. On the other hand, both
universities are warm in their praise
of the reception they have always been
accorded. Primarily, the game with
Nebraska is off because of misunder-
standing between Iowa and Nebraska
For this year at least, Iowa decided to
give up this annual game and it will
play with Illinois university at Iowa
City instead. The change is also due
in a measure to the strenuous demand
of Iowa university students for game
on their home grounds on Thanksgiv-
ing day. Not since foot ball has been
factor in Iowa's athletics have its
students had Thanksgiving game on
their own grounds, and this year they
revolted and insisted upon one. Mr..
Met utchen states, however, that 1T is
not impossible that q game with Ne

ranged for an earlier date than Thanks.

NOVELTIES ln Parasols.

IL wish l could read you Gladys
letters from London!" writes Edith
Lawrence in the June Ladies' Home
Journal. "She sends me descriptions
of two new parasols which / must tell
you about. The 6rst one she saw
when driving in Hyde Park. It was of
silk, trimmed with bands
of ecrue lace insertion and large bows
of satin ribbon of fawn color. The
stick, which was very long, was made
of pale green enameled wood. The
most original part of the whole thing
was tiny little pocketbook which
topped the handle off. 1t consisted of
a round ball of carved wood with a
cats eye in the centre; when you
pressed the cats eye the pocketbook
flew open. 1t was lined with pale
green leather. The other parasol was
made of different shades of red, which
she says is the most fashionable color
in London just now for street wear.
The cover was of red boiling cloth and
was hand painted in punches of red
peoples of deeper shade. ALI around
the edge were sye'et holes, which are
called by the women in London peep.
holes 1t seems they like to hold their
parasols down low and see who ID
passing, through the eyelet holes"

Machine Rule and Its Cause,

4esOAAA0 4S0A0 esAA LV6 Sc1u60
One of the prevailing political sins
of the American people, like most free
peoples, is their laxity of interest in
public affairs, which is illustrated by
the common expression of the business
man that he has no time for politics.
Msyhap he is the greatest grumbler
about the abuses due to the "politi-
cians," but "everybody's business is
nobody's business" and he has no time
to attend to such q thing as govern
ment.
This political sin 1t is that is respon-
sible for. that has Matched such politi-
cal octopuses as Quay and others of
his ilk. This it is, that has made pos
sible the sleek, we'll fed. agents of soul
less cooperative greed who sit in legis-
lative halls and feed upon the vitals of
an unthinking people. The gentleman
has attended to his politics-the pub
lie servant" is doing the rest. The
business of politics is the business of
government, and that is the business
of every American citizen. Eternal
vigilance is the price of liberty now as
we'll as in 1876 Mark 1t, you who
make (and should unmske) these "our
ma sters," see to it that the men you
elect answer at the bar of public judg.
ment; see to it that you are q true
American as we'll as good business

Commencement.

AS they sat upon the stage Saturday
night surrounded by the graduating
class, Prof. Warner and the Misses De
Grotfe, Fisher and Bradley must have
felt a sense of great pride, for the class
composed of sixteen students was one
in which every member was possessed
of ability to creditably appear in grad
uating exercises.
The theatre was comfortably filled
with those interested in such affairs.
The stage and boxes we're decorated in
9 manner most appropriate to the &C.
casion, with the class colors, yellow
and black, predominating.
The graduates this year were an ex.
ceedingly strong class, considered
rather stronger in their studies than
the average class. The entire class is
composed of young people, each having
q purpose in life, although as yet not
fully determined as to their future
plans.
The first part of the program was
given by the class, after which the
speaker of the evening Ed Amherst OFT,
of Des Moines, delivered his address to
the audience and class. The crater
showed in most instances excellent
thought and indicated explicitly the
mind of the speaker, yet we are prone
to believe that Mr.. Off, will not find
universal agreement in several parti-
cular themes he advanced,
Following the address, Mr.. John S.
McGavren, president of the school
board, made some very good and ap.
propriate remarks after which the
diplomas were presented.

Harrison County Politics.

In an article touching on Harrison
county politics, the Dunlap Reporter
says: "Either Ed. Barrett, of Dunlap,
or w. H. Fensler, of Missouri Valley
will be the democratic nominee for
representative. Both are strong men
and it will be necessary for the repub-
licans of the county to vote the repub-
lican ticket to elect the republican
nominee, though he is one of the best
men In the county. Republicans from
Harrison county say that if the sena,
torial question is kept out they will
win, but If it is brought into the county
convention, or the nominee for repre-.
sentative is required to declare himself
for any candidate for senator, he will
be beaten, no matter who he declares
for"
