MAFEKING IN DANGER.
Now Menaced by Four Thous-
and Beers.
ONLY SIX HUNDRED TO DEFEND 1T.

Word Received That Beers Have Attacked
aud Captured a Natal Train-Confict-
ing Rumors Place Exact State of Affairs
i I'm Doubt.
LONDON, Oct. 12.-Intense excitement
prevails in expectation of an immediate
aggressive move by the Beers. Much
anxiety is felt at the war office concern
ing the British position at Mafeking, q
frontier station on the Bechuanaland
border, whence theJameson raid started.
Its defense is committed to a force of
900 men, specially raised, and com
manded by Colonel Baden-Powell. This
corps is menaced by 1000 Beers under
C~ommandant Cronje, who defeated
Jameson at Krugersdorp.
LONDON, Oct. IA dispatch to the
Daily Telegraph from Ladysmith, dated
Wednesday, declares that war has been
begun by the Beers in Natal. The cor
respondent says: Gree State burgh-
ers have seized a train at H~arrismith,
which was the property Of the Natal
government. Last night a mounted
patrol was stoned by Beers. The mems
orders were not to fire until they were
fred on"
A dispatch from Glencoe camp, dated
Wednesday noon, says the Beers are re-
ported to be beyond the presidents con
troll and hostilities are expected at any
moment.
A dispatch to The Times from Sand
spruit, dated Wednesday, reports that
/, parades were held there in honor of
the anniversary of President Ringers
birth. The correspondent says: ssThe
Beers are pleased with the heavy rain
fall, which will improve the grass. By
General Joubert's kindness I have been
in the Boer camp four days. Nothing
noteworthy has occurred. General
Joubert's headquarters and the artillery
camp are about 10 miles from the Dor
der. He carefully patrols the frontier,
but fcrbids large armed bodies to cross
the border or to show themselves near
the border"
LONDON, Oct. 12.-Great preparations
are being made at Southampton for the
departure Saturday Of General Sir
Redvers Butler. 1t is announced that
the fleet of transports conveying Sir
Redvers Buffers corps will be escorted
by warships, while further dispatch
boats and gunboats will be sent to South
African waters.
The outbreak of wal has sent up the
price of English wheat and on various
country markets the farmers have re.
fused to sell wheat under 80 shillings
per quarter, in some cases even holding
out for a still higher price.

situation burst out last night. A. j.
Balfour, first lord of the treasury; Sill

various parts Of the country.

THE financial condition of
Crystal Falls township has
never been better than it is ut
the present time. On the first
day of April. 1899, there were
but 1923. 40 in legitimate out
standing orders. In addition to
this amount there is the ques-
tionablc bridge order which is
held by the Bridge Company
but which the board has deter.
mined not TO pay for the reason
that IL was irregularly issued.
The township did not receive the
return for it and the Milwaukee
Bridge & Iron company has put
its account i'm judgment and has
been paid up in full.
Before retiring Mr.. Moriarty
paid up all the judgments
against the township as well as
all the interest upon the bonds,
SO that the new regime begins
with almost q clean score.
For this excellent condition of
