The Dupuyer acantha. [volume] (Dupuyer, Mont.) 1894-1904, 1899-11-09
Possibility of War With the
Transvaal Republic.

The Transvaal, which bids fair to be-
come one of the principal centers of the
next war in which English-speaking
people will be concerned is about the
size Of France. 1t is rich in natural
resources, aside from its gold and
diamond fields, and for nearly two cen
turtles has been titled by the thrifty
Dutch emigrants and their descend
ants, or utilized for the pastures OF
their thousands of herds of cattle and
horses. The country takes its name
from the river Vaal, which forms its
southern boundary. This may become
a new Rubicon if war is declared, and
1t is probably the best known stream
of the Dark Continent, although from
a geographical standpoint it is insig-
nifcant compared with such water
courses as the Nile and the Niger.
While largely composed Of tRblelands
the country is we'll watered and fertile.
On the tableland can be grown the
usual crops of the temperate zone, such
as cereals, tobacco, fruits acS vegeta-
bles, while it's ivory and wool markets
are among the most extensive in the
world. The ostrich is also a nat.t re of
this country, and the trade In its feath-
ers is considerable. An abundance of
timber and other building material
have given the inhabitants an oppor-
tunity to construct substantial and
comfortable homes at a small cost, and.
the traveller is surprised at the advance
In civilization which he finds in the
fowls located hundreds OF miles from
the nearest railroad.
But the Trangvaal has been a thorn
o. the British government for over a
0extCry. Within the country and near
t1 borders have occurred many con-
Meta. in which The English have not
met the SUCCESS which has attended
THAR arms in East India and other
parts of the world, for the reason that
they have mas to oppose men of Dutch
blood, who have proved by many wars
that they are a nation Of fighters as
wall as Of farmers. Since the first
colony Of Dutchmen landed at Cape
Colony, in 1862, these people have been

the enemies of England, and have
shown it in a variety Of ways. The
present difficulty is based, apparently,
on technical grounds, but Kruger, who
may be called the Dutch George Wash
ington, has taken every opportunity to
arouse the feeling of his countrymen,
and of the native African as far as pos
sible, to incite another war. None
know this better than the British for
eign office, and it is endeavoring in
every way possible to avoid an open
rupture. Should Kruger and his allies
come out victorious there is a posi-
bility that the entire southern portion
of Africa, from the Limpopo river,
which bounds the Transvaal on the
north, to Cape Colony, will again be
under the administration of the Hol-
land emigrants. On the other hand,
should they be defeated, it will be a
long step toward the complete subju-
cation of Africa to British interests.
Hence the Importance of the outcome
of the present difficulty.
The southern peninsula of Africa is
practically divided into several repub-
lies of greater or less size under the
suzerainty of Great Britain. The pro-
Ceedings of the parliament in Cape Col
Ony and the Volksraad in the Trans
vaal are seldom or never interfered
with by the British foreign Office. The

which really means Outlanders-from
out of the land. The Uitlanders have
been gradually crossing the Vaal, at
tracted by the mineral n other de-
posits, as we'll as the opportunities
for agriculture, since 1850. They have
increased to about 80, 900 in the Trans

State they are not SO numerous in pro-
portion to the Dutch residents, but

republic has been more liberal in it's
attitude to foreigners on account of it's

Science of the Century,
Scientific mel declare that the dis
covery of the Kelley cure has been the
most important medical discovery of
the century. There have been over
100000 men and women cured Of the
whisky, morphine and tobacco addic-
tions, and in Minnesota alone there are
about 5000. The greater number Of
these were cured in the Minneapolis
Keeley Institute, a magnificent estab-
lishment, located ON the corner off
Tenth street and Park avenue.
DR.. Leslie K. Kelley is a physician, a
native of New York State, q graduate
of Rush Medical College and q doctor
of the Missouri State University. He
was engaged in regular practice until
the extraordinary spread of his cure
compelled him to devote his entire time
and energy to the extension of this
work. Since 1880 he has devoted HIM
self exclusively to the cure of inebriety-
AS the SON and grandson of physi-
clans who had studied inebriety, he be-
came interested in the subject when a
child. He began a study of it while a
surgeon in the army, 1862, and pur-
sued it diligently until his success vas
finally reached. Experience taught him
that inebriety is a disease of the nerve
tissues of the brain, and then he set
about to discover a specific treatment
for it. He experimental largely with

ALL IN A TANclE
Trouble in Congress Over
Appropriation Acts.
Contest on the Army Bill The Ad.
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES OF Mi
nor,ty-Estra Session.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20. - When
Congress met at noon but eleven work
ing days OF this session were left, yet
when IL adjourned tonight not single
advanced step had been taken toward
the passage of the Hull Army bill, nor
had there been any positive action in
the direction of compromise in Army
reorganization. In the ten working
days, counting out Washington's birth
day, now remaining, seven appropria-
ton bills must be passed Four of these
bills still are in the House and they are
among the most important, for they
make appropriations for the Army,
Navy, Notifications and general de-
hciencies. The Postofiice appropria-
ton bill is pending in the Senate. and
the sundry civil and river and harbor
bills are yet to be taken up by that
body. In spite of the pressing needs
Of quick and effective work, under such
circumstances practically the whole
afternoon was wasted in the Senate by
the filibustering OF Senators Bate and
Pettigrew, who We're trying to get
unanimous consent to attach to the
Postoffice appropriations bill a COM
paratively immaterial amendment.
The belief repeatedly has been eX-
pressed that there will be no extra
session. The President remains firm
in his demand that the Hull bin, or
measure embodying practically its
provisions, be passed, or an extra ses-
sion will be called. On the other hand
the opposition are even more deter
mined and arrogant than they were a
week ago. They declare they positive
ly will not permit the passage OF the
Hull bill or any other measure proyid-
ing for a permanently increased reg
ular army establishment. Should an
extra session be called, however,
which means still remote contingen-
cy, It will be primarily for the passage
OF bills making appropriations neces-
sary TO keep the wheels of government
turning. The Army bill will be an in
cident only, for as the situation pre-
sents itself now, II all the Army leg
islatton fails some appropriation bills
will share its fate.
