WAR IN AFRICA.

On Thursday it was reported that the
Beers had assaulted Mafeking and had
been repulsed and that the British had
lured them over some dynamite mines,
and killed 1900 of them. This report
was not believed and was not confirm
ed. The British have established a
press censorship.
On Friday 1t was reported that Vry-
burg on the west border had surrender
ed to the Beers, and cavalry engag-
ment was reported at Ladysmith on the
East border; also that the Beers had at
tackled Glencoe Camp on the East bord
er and had been defeated with heavy
loss.
On Saturday victory for the British
was reported from Glencoe. The British
artillery silenced that Of the Beers an
Smiths hill and then the English regi-
ments charged the hill and captured it,
with the loss Of SO officers and men kill
ed, and 151 wounded-the loss in officers
being especially heavy. The Beers re-
treated leaving their dead and wounded
behind and squadron Of Hussars who
followed them were missing and it was
feared they had been drawn into trap
President Kruger ordered the complete
evacuation of johannesburg, the centre
of the gold mining district, and it was be
heved he intended destroying the town.
Two American newspaper men were re
ported captured by the Beers.
On Sunday another victory for the
English was reported at Elandslaagte,
and the Beers were said to be shelling
Dundee.
On Mon day the Beers were reported
to be attacking both Glencoe and Dun
dee, they outnumbered the English and
had forced them back, and the situation
was said to be serious for the British.
On Tuesday the British General Yule
abandoned Glencoe and Dundee, and re-
treating southwark, joined his forces to
those Of Gen. White at Ladysmith On
the western border both Mafeking and
Kimberly were surrounded by the
Beers.
Yesterday it was believed in England
that there had been a battle and that
the news was being held back.

Eastern View of Gov. Stanley.

Ill
The people of Kansas are complaining
that their governor is ''on the fly so
much of the time that it is hard for
people who have business with the ex-
ecutive to catch him at the capital.
Since the legislature adjourned in
March, he has been on one vacation
trip to Texas. a second to Oklahoma
and a third covering three weeks among
the mountains of Wyoming; and be-
tween times he has been attending col
lege commandments, Chautauqua as
semblies, EpWOrth league conclaves, old
settlers reunions. Sunday school con-
ventiOns, Grand Army reunions, Chris
tan EndeaVOr conventions, and gather
ings of various other sorts. in all parts
of Kansas. 1t is recorded that during
June he attended eighteen such occa-
sions within twenty-One days, being
rarely seen in Topeka, and then only
the state house only five days during
the first sixteen of September. What
gives point to the growing criticism of
Governor Stanley's predecessor. Leedv.
suffered from ill health during his asst
year in office, which forced him tC seek
medical treatment away from the capi-
tai, and that during the campaign Stan
ley not only twitted Leedy for his Of
fence, but also laid down this platform
for himself: If am elected governor
of Kansas, I shall devote the same time
and attention to state affairs that [
devote to my own business. When peo-
pie go to Topeka to see me, they viii
find me there. My Office hours Will be

FAR UP IN THE HILLS.
]. M. Ballentine, Former Senator,
Dropped Dead With Heart
Troubles.

Chicago, Sept. ga special to the
Tribune from Boise, Idaho, says:
J. NJ. BalIentine, former state senator
and widely known through the west as
a cattle raiser and miner, who once
lived in Chicago, died last Friday at
Stanley Basin, a mining camp in the
Saw Tooth mountains, seventy-fve
miles and not reached by railroad or
telegraph.
Mr.. Ballentine was in the mountains
with a hunting party. He complained
early in the morning of the day of his
death of pains in his side, but grew bet
ter after taking some simple remedies.
In the evening he dropped dead in the
doorway of his cabin. 1t is supposed
death was due to heart disease.
The remains did not reach this city
until today.
Mr.. Ballentine was born in Chicago
in 1892. His father was David BalIen-
tine, who was a well known Chicago
banker. Mr.. Ballentine owned and op-
Grated a California gold mine. He was
twice elected to the Idaho senate on
the Democratic ticket.
He is survived by three children,
James A. Ballentine and Mrs. Frank
Kendall of New York, and Mamie, who
lived with him in Boise City.

DIPLOMATS WORRIED.
Fear They Can Not Attend ANY of
Our Big Shows.

Washington, Sept. 29.-The diplomatic
corps here is in a state of doubt re-
speeding the Chicago public building
celebration. Inquiries are being made
at the state department as to the presi-
dents intentions in the matter and it
appears to be the general resolve of the
foreign representatives to be guided in
their plans by the action of the chief
executive. Should he decide to aban-
don the projected trip, then there will
be few representative of the corps in
attendance at the corner stone laying.
The diplomats are also agitated as
Dewey day approaches in New York.
and there is no sign of a desire for their
attendance. It is said that since the
failure of the attempt of the local COM
mittee to secure the attendance at the
naval demonstration of foreign war
ships, the diplomatic representatives
who We're obliged by the rigid rules of
international intercourse to decline the
invitations for their governments have
dropped out of sight.
