a City COUNCIL last evening made
up it's mind that the residents of the
Highlands could do without city
water for some time to come, The
Park and Water Commissioners
desired to have a water tower built
in Rockford park, onland originally

by the firm to the city Of Whining

more than right and proper that
the city fathers should have pass

an explosion at their powder works
at any time. With our usual liber-
atty the request has been denied.

Every Evening suggests that it
would be practical to have the loose
stones picked up from along the
Boulevard and the driveway put IN
such condition that it will be safe
TOR bicyclists to ride on it. If the
driveway is Uttered up with loose
stones, as our worthy contemporary
says, it would be well to have the
matter remedied at an early date.
The cyclers should be looked after,

them as when riding a wheel was a
fad.

the American Express company.
The day after the robbery detectives
found near the scene of the robbery
an empty lunch basket, the lining of
which was a newspaper, The Plain
Dealer. On the paper was a sticker
bearing the name of the subscriber.
Letters were at once sent to every
newspaper in the United States hav-
ing the name Plain Dealer asking each
II it had a subscriber of the name ap-
pearing on the sticker. This name
Riley is Withholding for the present.
The McHenry County Plain Dealer,
Woodstock, Ills, answered in the af-
firmative, and said that the subscriber
mentioned was a farmer living near
Spring Grove. McHenry county.
Detective Casey, of Mr. Riley's staff.
went to McHenry county and learned
that the farmer disappeared two days
before the robbery and returned the
next day, but disappeared again that
Saturday night. The detective also
found the stolen buggy in which the
train robbers are supposed to have
made their escape.

VICTIMS OF FAMINE
Passengers on the Schooner Hera
Had a Terrible Experience.
rwo sUoCUMBBD ON THE VOYAGE

The Vessel Brought Two Hundred
Passengers From Nome, without
Provision For Feeding Them-sev-
eral Crazed by Voyage.
Seattle, Wash. Oct. 25.-After
voyage of 2S days from Cape Nome,
during which two men died from star
Yation and others were half crazed
from want of food and water the
schooner Hera arrived in port yester-
day with nearly 200 passengers on
board. News of the wretched plight
Of the Hera's passengers was brought
here Sunday night by the steamer
Lakme. The revenue cutter Grant and
the tug Sea Lion Immediately started
after the schooner. They succeeded
IN finding the schooner on Monday
about so miles off Cape Flattery. The
two deaths reported are those of ]. S.
Ryan who came on board a well man,
but through bad food and lack of at
tention gradually grew worse until he
died on Oct 16 The other case is
much the same George Lamby
through want of nourishment and con
flnement in lily ventilated quarters,
was taken with typhoid fever and died
on Oct. 21. While he was sick he had
absolutely no medical attention. Both
men were buried at sea.
From the statements of other pas
sengers it is learned that the agent of
the ship at Nome guaranteed them
plainly of good provisions on the way
down. They were charged $50 for
their passage. When they were a few
days out meat, sugar and butter ran
out. The menu consisted of salt pork
and canned mutton. There was a lit
tie dried fruit on board, but only
enough to supply the table three times
with dried peaches and twice with
dried prunes. From that time on for
nearly "a days their food consisted OF
flour and coffee. There was plenty OF
-four, but the water was short. Four
days ago the last of the unpalatable
salt horse was consumed. Had it not
been for transforms. which fell for
few dayl, they would have been with
out water also.
When the Hera anchored out in the
stream the majority of the men were
so weak that they could not carry
their gold dust ashore without assist
ance. Several passengers were crazed
from their terrible experiences, and
had to be carried ashore and taken
care of. Even taking their terrible
voyage into consideration, the pas
sengers unite in declaring Nome to be
the greatest camp on earth, and many
of them will return in the spring.

GIN. YTLES STRATEGY.
He Has Effected a Junction With
the Forces Of General White.
FIGHT WITH JOUBBRT IMMINENT.


hard Fighting Certain at a Very Early
Date, as the TWO sections OF the Boer
Army whtch Threaten the Britons
Largely Outnumber Them.
London. Oct 25.-The Cape Town
correspondent OF The Daily Mail tele-
graphing at GAS last evening. says:
General Yule has performed a brill
liant strategical movement BY a
swift march to the south. leaving Glen
coe empty, he has effected a junction
of his forces with those OF Sir George
Stewart White, slightly to the north
of Ladysmith. The two are now in a
position to offer battle. | believe the
first attack will be made on the large
Free State force which entered Natal
by way of Tintwa Pass, and which
has since been harassing Ladysmith
The military authorities decided that
by Joining their forces the two generals
would be better able to cope with one
large force at a time than by having
two small detachments to oppose
simultaneously two big Boer forces
Accordingly, after defeating the Free
State troops, they will offer battle to
Commandant General Joubert. Only
40 miles now separate the two Boe~
forces. Hence the need for swift and
telling action.
The two sections of the Boer army
together outnumber the entire British
force by to 1. Hard fighting is GER
tain at a very early date. Our men are
confident, and there is much en-
thusiasm.
