THE expenditures of the government
in the first ten months of the current
fiscal year were S22O, 500, 42l more than
during the corresponding period of the
next previous year. The most or all of
this increase resulted from the war
with Spain. This reckoning, however,
takes no account of the extraordinary
EXPENDITURES of the three months of
1898 Immediately preceding the begin
ming of the present fiscal year. The
increase during these three months in
the army and navy departments was
SA 1854 1878 over the corresponding
months in the previous year. This
sum would bring the extraordinary
expenses up to S275,577, 797. If there
are added items in the "civil and mis-
cellaneous" account, directly or indirect
~ caused by the war, the total war ex.
penses to date would be at least $780,.
100000.

WHAT To Do.

There is comfort in the knowledge SO
often expressed, that DIR. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills
every wish in curing rheumatism, pain
in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and
every part of the urinary passages. It
corrects inability to hold water and scaid-
ing pain in passing it, or bad effects fol-
lowing the use of liquor, wine or beer,
and overcomes that unpleasant necessity
of being compelled to go often during the
day, and to get up many times during the
night. The mild and the extraordinary
effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized:
1t stands the highest for its wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases. 1t
you need a medicine you should have the
best. AT druggists fifty cents Or one
dollar.
You may have a sample bottle and a
book that tells more about it, both sent
absolutely free by mail. if you send your
address to DR.. Kilmer & Co., Bingham
ton, n. Y. When writing be sure and
mention that you read this generous offer

DIED Of HIS HURT
The Death of D.. K. HARRINGTON
to be Investigated.
INJURED A MONTH AGO
In an Accident Which Occurred in
the Mountain Con
Mine.

Dan X. Harrington died at the Sisters
hospital this morning supposedly from
injuries received while working in the
Mountain Con mine about a month ago
Very little is known in regard to the ma
ture of Harrington's accident or the
manner in which he received it. The
matter has been referred to Coroner Phil
Julien for investigation.
Several weeks ago Harrington called
at the Sisters hospital for treatment.
He said he was a miner and was en-
ployed in the Mountain Con, and in some
manner had received an injury in his
side, for which he desired medical at
tendance. DR.. Alexander attended the
man., and he was allowed to go to his
boarding house in Centerville, where the
doctor paid him a professional visit on
the day following his treatment at the
hospital. He found the man suffering
from odema of the lungs. After sew
eral lays treatment the mar recovered
from this illness. only to be attacked
by incipient erysipilas, which resulted
the hospital, where he grew worse, dying
early this morning. Coroner Phil JUL
lien is of the opinion that Ha%rrington's
death might have been caused by the
accident in the Mountain Con-, and will
probably hold an inquest on the remains.

bULLER'S
ARE CHANGED

London, Nov. 1o.-With the arrival at
CapetoWn of the British transports Ros-
lyn Castle and Moor. to be followed by a
continuous succession Of troop-laden
ships the real campaign in South Africa
may be said to have commenced and
the fact that the first ship named was
expected to have arrived at Durham
forthwith indicates at least a moditica-
ton of the plan of advance.
1t seems General Buffers first move
will be to relieve General White. thus
somewhat departing from the earlier
plan OF advancement through the level
country OF the Orange Free State and
southwestern Transvaal. 1t has been
apparent for some days that the situa-
ton at Ladysmith could not be indefi-
nltely prolonged, and it is understood
that information has reached the govern
ment to the effect that the Quiesance of
the Beers will shortly be changed by the
arrival of a siege train from Pretoria
into a determined attack to deliver a tell
ing stroke.
This. it is added, led General Butler to
prepare a counter stroke and endeavor
to push the Beers back by direct at
tack.
Such an operation, if attempted. will
necessarily entail Il great expenditure
of life, AS during the month the Beers
have occupied northern Natal, where
they nave TOrtl1led most or the passes
and other positions suitable to their
style of fighting.
While the pigeon dispatch of General
White shows the beleagured garrison
was holding its own yesterday. it is fear
ed here that silence regarding what the
British artillery was doing in reply to
the Boer guns indicates the fear that
White is short of long range ammuni-
ton is not altogether groundless. If
this is true the reported further destruc-
tion of the railroad near Colenso as
sumes greater Importance.
One very serious passage in General
Whites message gives the first official
confirmation of the statements of Boer
treachery which there has been a dis
position hitherto to discredit. put which
must now be accepted as at least partly
true.
With the additional division announce
ed by General Wolseley at the Lord
Mayors banquet yesterday evening.
Buffers force Will aggregate 95, 200 men
by Christmas.
The prince of Wales. duke of Cam
bridge and Lord Wolseley reviewed
three sf.1alrons OF the household cay
airy at Albany barracks this afternoon,
previous to their departure for South
Africa.
