The climate of the Cape Colony, and in
deed OF SCUM Africa, may be com pared to
that of the south of Europe and tho north
of Africa, with frost and snow on the
highest lands and subsropical belts on the
lowest lying parts, as in Natal, Zululand
and Mashonaland. 1t may be roughly
said that any part of South Africa is bet
ter for those suffering from chest con-
plant than is the climate of our home
country at the most trying time Of the
year. But those who come to south
Africa hoping to escape from this disease
should not as a general rule delay ON the
coast.
The Care peninsula is delightful for
most people, but it is not by any means
best for those W no are constitutinnally in
elined to consumption. They must leave
the coast, no matter how many induce
ments there may be for them to stay, and
climb the tab!eland which taces them at
whatever port they may lane At irr,gu-
lar distances from the sea we have proh-
ably nowhere more than a hundred miles
of low lying coast lands before we ascend
Once Oh the tableland, so far as the eli
mate goes, it matters not IN what diroc
tion health seekers proceed, The climate is
equally good. Good Words

In all her days what n world Of fun

She was born TO wealth and "A house of pride,
And must be proper and digniied.
Dear little girl! ! am sad for you.
They have filched your world of its roseate
hue.
They have robbed the sweets Of your childish
play,
And stolen your years and your dreams away,
And you are little girl no more,
Poor little martyr in pinaforel

Your accusing eyes at the throne of grace.

broke loose in Omaha this morning at
o'clock. when the three trains bearing
the First Nebraska volunteers pulled
into the Burlington depot. The trains
had been sidetracked at Havelock dur
ing the night, for the purpose of giving
the men chance TO rest The crowd
assembled at the depot was immense.
but the police arrangements were eX-
cellent- AS the first train pulled up TO
the platform the cheers of thousands
of people were added TO the din of
whistles. bells. cannon crackers and
other noise provokers-
Women We're much in evidence and
made fully as much noise as the men.
The Omaha company was on the first
section, and as the men tumbled off
the train into the arms of waiting
mothers, sisters and sweethearts. 1t
made a scene which no one who saw it
Will ever forget. There were plenty of
people on hand to extend a cordial per-
sonal greeting to every member OF the
outside companies.
The reception of the regiment has
been a most enthusiastic one ever since
it crossed the state line. but the one
at Omaha was the climax.
AT o'clock the parade was formed.
The buildings along the route had
been deliberately decorated. and the
sidewalks. windows and every place of
vantage was one solid mass of cheering,
yelling humanity. Arriving at the city
hall the regiment was formally greeted
by Mayor Moores, Governor Pointer
and other city and state officials.
After the formal addresses the men
of the regiment took trolley cars and
went to the exposition, where they
spent the day.

ABUNDANCE OF EVIDENCE.
Officer Randolph Has No Doubt
About Conviction.

Officer Abe Randolph reported himself
yesterday as glad to get back from his
man hunt, and the only thing he re-
grets is that he was not there to help
capture the dynamite fiend. He dis
claims all desire of sharing the $500 re-
ward, saying that Henroid and the COW ;
punchers deserve every cent of it for
their splendid work.
Randolph states that he knew Smith
two years ago in Idaho. He went up
to that state with the A. o. U. W.,
and while there made a visit to the
state prison. The first man he saw on
entering was Smith. What are you
doing here?" was asked. to which
Smith replied: "Oh, Dow and his outfit
have got me again."
Smith was also seen by Randolph on
Valentine day. He was carrying big
44-caliber revolver, and Randolph was
on the point of arresting him. Smith
showed him the return slip of his round
trip ticket to Eureka, and was released.
Speaking of his own experiences in
the pursuit of the dynamiter, Ran
dolph said that on the first night he
and Deputy Cronin drove through Eu-
reka, Mammoth and Silver City thor
oughly overhauling all three towns. The
Tintic officers got a private tip after
that, and left Randolph to his own de-
vices.
There will be plenty of evidence to
convict Smith, the policeman stated.
There are men in Silver City who saw
him handling the boxes and explosives,
and others can identify him as sending
the boxes. The man who gave Smith
the string that worked the trigger in
trial, with some interesting informa-

der, which proved much more damag-
ing to the general staff than the latter
anticipated, certain dividing lines have
become manifest between the various
cliques. General Roget, Major Lauth.
Captain Cuignet and NJ. Gribelin, the
principal keeper of the archives of the
war office, form one coterie; General
MERCER and General Gonse form an
other and General Billot and General
de Boisdeffre a third.
According to one report, the first two
lotteries intend to throw over General
de Boisdeffre, whom they feel to be
faltering and declare that he is respon-
sible for all the errors and illegalities
of the courtmartial of 1894, thus max
ing him the scapegoat.
Roget Will Cut Loose.
According to another report, General
Roget, who was not implicated in 1894
and VINO even fought against Dreyfus
because he inherited from his prede-
cessors the responsibility for so doing,
and placed over-confidence in the ac-
counts of the matter furnished him by
the general staff. will cut himself loose
from Generals MERCER, Gonse and De
Boisdeffre.
This is a plausible hypothesis since
Roget has assumed throughout the role
of the defender of the army, thus max
ing himself popular with the army and
with a large section of the country,
and he probably would not lose by
separating himself from the wrong
doors of 1894 and declaring that his
opinion had been changed by the evil
dence given during the present trial.
Yet another story is that the gener-
ais are going to give way to the au-
thorship of the bordereau in view of
the strong expert evidence, and will
admit that Esterhazy wrote it, alleg-
ing, however, that Dreyfus furnished
the information. not direct to Ester
hazy, but TO a third person, who acted
as intermediary, without Dreyfus
knowing EsterhaZy.
In this connection it was asserted

conspiracies and predictions of coups

THEY STOLE BULLION.
Over $4,000 Worth Made Away
With By Parties at Butte.

Minneapolis, Aug. 30.-A special to
the Times from Butte, Mont, saws:
Through the arrest of Mayer, an as
sayer of Butte; John F. Boyd, brother
of Mayor Boyd of Philipsburg, and
James Mcdonald. an employee of the
Granite Bimetallic mine, the disclosures
of wholesale thefts of silver bullion
from the Bimetallic company have Just
been made. At least $4,000 worth of
bullion has been made away with.
The Bimetallic company is owned by
st. Louis capitalists Boyd was night

tions, so it is alleged. have been going
on for fourteen months. Boyd made a
trip to Butte last Saturday. and il was
this trip that caused his arrest. the de-
tectives finding $4,000 in bullion with
Assayer Mayer, which they identified
as coming from the Granite BimetalIic
mill.
The officers are looking for other par
ties who are said TO be implicated. Boyd
is a married man, and, besides his
brother. has an aged mother residing
in Philipsburg. He has borne a good
reputation up. to two months ago, when
some intimation was given out that he
was carrying away bullion.
