ton on the frontier, and enable a
clearer exposition of the military stat
US. lit seems the Beers intend to act
In two columns, those from the Trans
vaal working from the north and those
of the Orange Free State from the
west, with the object of keeping the
British forces at Ladysmith and Dun
dee occupied while parties of Beers
slip past to destroy the bridges along
the railway forningth line of com
munication between the British at Dur

Pietermaritzburg, and the front. lit is
regarded as possible that the Beers will
attempt to occupy Estcourt, where
there are only Il hundred men of the
naval brigade. News that the Beers
are raiding in zululand in the neigh
1borhood of Eshowe is taken as 4 con-
firmation of this possibility.

Democratic scheme Defeated.

Sioux City, Oct. 1.-THE democratic
state central committee OF Iowa wants
to put William Jennings Bryan into
Sioux City for speech on Oct. IA, the
day President Mckinley is expected to
be here. Chairman Huffman sent word
to the local committee of the desire
of the state leaders, but it did not meet
with favor. The committee want
Bryan here, but they are too loyal to
Sioux City to do anything which would
in any way embarrass the president
during his stay. They have through
their chairman, NJ. l.. Finn. sent word
to Mr.. Huffman that Mr.. Bryan can
not speak here in the morning, after.
noon or evening of that day, and if he
cannot give a later date he need not
come at all. Mr.. Bryan, it is under>
stood, is not responsible for the re-
quest, but he is merely in the hands
of the state central committee and fol-
lows its assignments.

Ames, Oct. lO.-Dr. w. NJ. Beard
shear, president of the Iowa State Ag-
ricultural college, left Sunday for Lake
Mohonk, New York. where he will at
tend the autumnal meeting of the
United States Indian commission, OF
which he is member. The principal
question that will be under discussion
by the commission at this meeting.
DIR. Beardshear said. was that of the
dissolution OF the tribal relations. The
preliminary discussion OF this question
was taken up at the last regular meet
ing, but no action was taken, although
the suggestions then promulgated have
been tried in several places and have
resulted very satisfactorily. This sue
cess has led the commission to resolve
upon more definite and detailed work
in this line. The commissions will be
in session from Oct 10 to 13 at the
home OF R. X. Smiley, a member OF
the commission, at Lake Mohonk.

on West Second street in Gravestown
was destroyed by fire last night be-
tween 10 and II o'clock. The building
was owned by o. C. Graves and occu-
pied by A. d. Rundell, who conducted
grocery store therein. The store
building and contents were totally de-
stroyed, and Mr.. Rundell's residence,
which is just few feet west of the
store. was saved only after much work
on the part of the firemen and the
volunteer assistants. The burning
building was outside of the fire limits,
and the department was powerless as
far as eNtinguishing the flames was
concerned.

and prior to that time had had no fire
in the building. When the fire was
discovered it appeared to be. issuing
from the basement and from the east
side of the lower story. Mr.. Rundell
attempted to enter at the front door,
but the heat was so intense that he
was unable to save dollars worth
of his stock. which he valued at $1,000,
on which there was 5000 insurance
The building was valued at $1,000, or

IOWA SENATORIAL OUTLOOK.
Little Change From a Week Ago, Gear,
However, increasing HIS Big Lead.

Des Moines, Oct. 1O.-sNll the nonli-
mating conventions in the different rep
resentative and senatorial districts of
She state or the part OF the repub-
licans l'a=s been held, and all .he nom
ination certificates have been fled with
the secretary of state, as required by
law. The conventions he'd during the
past week We're all in democratic
counties with the exception OF one dis
trict, and this district may be classed
as doubtful.
There has been no relative change
in the senatorial situation since last
week. Mr.. Gear has rs votes on joint
ballot, and of those in the ,.ouottal
column it is probable that !: number
will be added TO his list. The fact that
Senator Gear will be his own SUCCESSOR
seems TO lie generally accepieI by the
Republicans of the s,ate aud cvem in
Des Aloines, and during the past week
there has been noticeab'c tendency
on the part of certain nominees, who
have been hitherto classed as doubtful,
to drift toward the Gear column. This
tendency is only natural from the
fact that Mr.. Gears lead is SO strong
that the doubtful ones are inclined to
look with most favor upon his candi-
dacy.
This drifting movement will increase
from now on until the time the repub-
lican caucus is held and Senator Gears
election officially declared
1t is also understood tina. some of
the members who have been c.assed
as favorable to Mr. Cummins. and who
have assisted in his campaign 10 a
certain extent, are admitting his de-
feat.
Now that the nominations have all
been made it may be expected the can
didates for the speakershlo will soon
appear. The Gear people are certain
to control the organization of the next
house if it should be organized on the
lines of n senatorial contest.
