the seventeenth annual meeting of the
Sheriffs Association of Iowa. They
will have a business program today,

and clearest account of the fight comes
from Mr.. Knox, in Reuters special dis
patch printed today. This story lays
stress on the strength of the Beers in
trenchments and the excellence of their
strategy, repeating the assertion that
the superiority of the British artillery
was what won the day.
In official quarters no reliance is
placed on the rumor said to he based on
a telegram from an officer of the guards
to the effect that Gen. Nethuen is all
ready in Kimberley. 1t is pointed out
that if Gen. Methuen Were there and
wished 1t known to the world he would
have officially communicated the fact
If he We're there, but did not wish it
known, he would have permitted the
dispatch of no private kilograms dis
closing his presence. whereas, if tele-
graphic communication had been inter-
rupted no kilograms would issue from
Kimberley to any one. 1t is possible
that individual accommodating parties
may have entered, but Improbable that
the main force has yet arrived at KIM
berley.
The news from Natal is thought here
to be encouraging, especially the report
of the Beers evacuation of Weenen,
thus renewing the menace to Gen.
Clery's communications. existing while
a considerable Boer force was within
striking distance of his right flank,
which the advance from Estcourt would
have uncovered. The Beers evidently
do not feel strong enough directly to OPP
pose Gen. Ciery's advance and also to
threaten his communications.

Maysville, KY, Dec. 6.-Dick Cole
man, coiored, the murderer of Mrs
James Lashbrook, was burned at the
stake this morning by a mob.
Since the murder he has been kept in
jail at Covngton for fear of lynching
f's trial was set for today at Mays
vile. He arrived here under a specia1
guard Of deputies sworn by the sheriff
Ethis morning at 1890, and the Mays

guard When it alighted from the train.
When the cavalcade reached the court
house they were met by mob of fully
LOO people, headed by Lashbrook, hus-
band of the murdered woman, while
5oeo others We're present as spectators.
At the demand of the mob the authori-
ties delivered the prisoner up, holding
resistance useless under the circum-
stances. The mob grabbed Coleman,
threw a rope over his head and paying
no heed TO his piteous appeals for life
took him TO a small hollow near the
railroad, bound him tightly toa sapling
and heaped a huge pile of brush wood
around MN and then set ire to it. As
the flames began to shoot up some one
cut cut the wretches eyes. The scene
was an awful one, as thousands of
maddened people clustered around the
funeral pyre. Coleman, however. was
almost dead before the fire was ap-
Piled from the effects of having been
dragged blythe rope about his neck and
beaten over the head and face by the
mob.
Coleman had been employed on Lash

Mrs. Lashbrook into a shed ON the pre-
tense of getting directions about some
work, knocked her down, assaulted hel
ard afterwards cut her throat. He sub

REPUBLICAN CAUCUS.
House Members Discuss Plans for
Putting Through Financial Bill.

House Members Discuss Plans for
Putting Through Financial Bill.
Washington, Dec. GA caucus of the
republican members of the house was
held last night to consider plans for
advancing the house financial bill.
About 16O members, including Speaker
Henderson and al the prominent lead
ers on the republican side We're present.
Cannon of Illinois was selected as chah-
man. Overstreet of Indiana, who pre-
sented the bill, explained it section by
section, continuing his elucidation until
II O'clock, when in response to a gem
eral sentiment the caucus adjourned
until p. M tomorrow.
The adjourned caucus of the repub-
lican members of the house may de-
eide not to begin the debate on the
monetary reform bill uptil next Mon
day. 1t has been practically agreed
that six days will be enough to give to
discussion of the measure, three DAYS
for each side The monetary bill was
introduced yesterday and was num-
bered one on the calendar. This was
done by MIR. Overstreet, at the special
requdest of Speaker Henderson,. 1t
was referred to the committee on rules
this afternoon and will be printed to-
morrow. If unanimous consent can be
obtained the accompanying report from
the caucus committee will also be
printed. If objection be raised it will
be made part of the report of the
committee on rules, which willinsure it's
distribution among members as we'll as
citizens who would like to have it. The
discussion will be Initiated by Mr..
Overstreet in a speech of about two
hours duration. This speech will be
an elaboration OF the caucus commit
tees report on the bill. which was also
Mr.. Overstreets production. Mr.. Rich
ardson. the new leader OF the minority,
has not yet indicated who will do the
debating on his side of the house, but
there will be candidates enough de-
manding recognition to consume two
months. The opposition among repub-
lican representatives which threatened
to flame into an open revolt when the
caucus bill was first reported has sub
sided and it is now believed that she
measure will be adopted by the caucus
today without change.
AT 2 o'clock this afternoon Hepburn,
of Iowa, presented his views on the
proposed bill and then Cannon, of Illi-
nois. took up the terms of the bill in
detail.

BoER ARMY UNITED.
Battles With Mcthuen Have Not
Scattered the Forces

Scattered the Forces.
London, Dec. 6.-Fears are enter
tanned here that the Boer commando
which fought the battle of Modder river,
instead of making stand at Spytfon-
tein, will next be heard from along
Methuen's line of communications. 1t
seems certain, however, wherever the
Beers reappear, that their army is prac-
tically intact, whereas Gen. Methuen's S
want of cavalry renders the task of
locating his enemy wellnigh impossible.
The hysterical correspondents and the
conscientious censor have collaborated
to keep from the British public all
knowledge of how the battle was act
ually fought, but the important fact
remains that the British had to retire
to their bivouacs at nightfall of Tues
day, while the Beers We're able to with
draw their entire force, including all
their artillery.
All accounts thus far received en-
phasize the fact that the British success
at Modder river was due rather to the
steady courage of soldiers and officers
than to any superiority of generalship.
If, however, the accounts of Julian
Ralph and others-speaking of men
simply being moNed down, OIL a zone OF
fire in which it was impossible to live
and of the inability of the British to stir
hand or foot without being riddled with
bullets-are to be construed literally,
the British loss was amazingly small.
for it amounts to only or per cent of
the whole number engaged.
1t is the general impression here that
the correspondents, following the exam
pie of Gen. Methuen-or whoever wrote
the first dispatch reporting the battle
have given rather loose rein to their de-
scriptive powers. Undoubtedly the best
