 of the coroner.
 Wanted His Rights.
 The wife of the murdered man, and the mother of young Schan died year and half ago, leaving, it is said, considerable property to be divided be- tween her husband, the prisoner, and another son. The other son is now in Manila, a member of the Fourth Unit ed States infantry.
 Refused to Probate the Will.
 The father re-married and refused, it is said, to probate the will of his dead wife. Both sons left home at the time of the second marriage. They continually demanded that the prop erty left by their mother be divided and lieu of that called upon the father for money, which was refused. The son, George, it is said, declared that he would never allow his step mother to get any of his property He went to the house of his father and found him in bed. His step-mother was in an adjoining room. The son repeatedly demanded some money.
 FruitIess Demand for Money
 The father became enraged and raised himself from the bed in a menaeing manner, when the young man drew revolver and fired two shots. The muzzle of the revolver was so near Schan's head that the powder burned his face. Both shots plowed through the right temple. The elder Schan fell back on the bed with blood pouring from the wounds and expired immediately. The son placed the re. volver on dresser and calmly awaited his arrest.

GEN. JOUBERI'S CHANCES.
The Capture of Either of the British Strongholds Each Day Be-
 comes Less Imminent.
B0ER COMMANDER DELAYED TOO LONG.
A Generally More Optimistic View of the Situation Taken at London Now that the British Reinforce ments Are Beginning to Arrive Near the Scene of Action.

 attacks on Ladysmith, Mafeking and Kimberley, which were opened last Thursday, manifest fuii recognition by the Boers of the fact that every day lesstns their chances of a successful onslaught on any of the three British strongholds. Gen. Joubert's chances of reaching Pietermaritzburg can be said to have vanished.
 Admitted by Col. SchieI.
 This is already reported to be ad- mitted by Col. Schiel, the German of ficer commanding the Boer artillery, who is supposed to have been largely the author of the Boer plan of cam paign, and who, in an interview, is al legged to have said:
 ''The Boer intention was to have cap tured Pietermaritzburg, and then to dictate terms. But, all hope of ae complishing this must now be aban. Goned."
 The Situation Improving.
 There is no doubt that, from British point of view, the general situation in Natal is improving. Nearly 5000 troops reached South Africa during tine last 4S hours, and by the end of the week from 6,000 to 1000 more will be added to the British strength in Natal. These will probably be pushed forward to Estcourt, bringing the Brit ish force there mp to 10000 men, and making a general attack on Ladysmith by Gen. Joubert very hazardous.
 Gen. Mcthuen's Division.
 As the cavalry and artillery belong ing to Gen. Methuen's division will not have arrived by then, the advance from Estcourt may be delayed. But, if il is deemed essential to open com mnnicaton with the beleagured town at the earliest possible moment, Gen. Methuen, it is believed, may decide to replace the regular cavalry and artil- lery by the Natal and Outlander mounted forces and the naval guns. in which case, it is claimed, it ought to be possible to occupy Colenso and stretch out hand to Gen. White by Monday.
 Governed by Circumstances.
 II is added, however, that the course to be followed by Gen. Methuen must necessarily be dictated entirely by of ficial knowledge of Gen. Whites po- sition and resourcec, and the experts hope Gen. Methuen will be able 10 await the concentration of the whole division before advancing, and thus have better chance of dealing q tell ing blow at Gen. Joubert's main army, which it is asserted, will be caught between two British forces, and com .elled either to fight general action or retire

 in New York.
TWO BULLETS ENTERED HIS TEMPLE.
The Murdered Man Had Refused to Probate the Will of His Deceased Wife and Account for Property Deyised-His Recent Marriage Led to the Tragedy.

New York, Nov. 14.-George J. Schan, 50 years old, an employe in the supreme court, was shot and killed at his home by his son George W. Schan, a dentist. The father had refused to give the son money. The son was ar

Entered On Two Sides.

The main column marched up the wagon road, but before reaching Tar Inc divided, entering the town on two sides at six o'clock, without a shot be- ing fired. The insnrg~ nts had evaeuat- ed the place only a few hours before, setting fire to the railway station and the rolling stock. They left a rear guard of 400 men who, however. failed to make stand and cover the retraet of the main force of insurgents, as they had probably been ordered to do. The rebel ordnance is reported to have been shipped to the town of Donnell The Americans are continuing their advance so rapidly that the insurgents have not the time to destroy the rail- road

 Captured AguinnIdo's Secretary
 Col. Hayes has captured AguinG1do's secretary, and Maj. Coleman is in Car ranglan, with an escort of 175 bolomen, on his way to the province of Neuva Nisaya.
 The son of Gen. Laneras and his family are prisoners. The general barely escaped.
 Aguina1do Surrounded.
 A press correspondent with Gen. Young telegraphs from San Jose that Aguinaldo did not escape to the north east. He and his army, the cor respondent adds, are surrounded His last orders to the Filipino commander at San Jose were to hold San Jose and Carrang}an at all costs.
 InsJ(rgents Morally Afraid
 The fecent encounters were too one sided to be called fights. The insur- gents are mortaly afraid of the Amer jeans, however strong their position. They make but brief and feeble re- sistance and run when the terrible Americans pursue them and slay many.
 The moral effect of the news that 60,oo0 troops are on their way here has been unquestionably great.
 Insurgents Suffering.
 The insurgents are suffering more from disease than the Americans, ow- ing to poor food lack of medicines, and filthy hospitals, with the result that there is great mortality among them. Gen. Lawton has intercepted a telegram from an insurgent captain to n Filipino general, reading:
 How can you blame me for re- treating when only 12 of my company were ahle tp fipht ''

HAD NEVER TRAVELLED.

New Orleans Times-Democrat: II used
to know a man. said a New Orleans 30
hemian, 'who made a living writing sto-
ries of travel for boys. He had never been
out of Missouri in his life, but he was
famous for the graphic fidelity of his
description of foreign lands. His refer
ence library consisted of exactly three
works: an encyclodedia, a SGT of United
States consular reports, covering -four or
five years, and a copy of WOODS Nat
ural History If the scene of the story
was to be laid, for instance, in Borneo. he
would begin by reading the Borneo ar
ticle in the encyclopedias; then he would
turn 10 the consular reports and look up
all the odd and interesting matter he
could find touching that particular island
and finally he would get a description or
it's animals from Woods. He wrote at an
old table on which was glued a map OF
| the world, covered with a sheet of glass.
| This was constantly before his eyes,, so
! he couldn't go astray on geography, and,
as said before. his descriptions We're
marvels of accuracy. He could draw a
better and more realistic pen picture OF
foreign countries than travellers them
selves. People thought that he had beeen
a great globe %trotter, and, crazy as 1t
sounds. I believe he actually got to think
ing so himself. The last time I saw him
he talked about A~fghanistan in the easy
off hand vein of a personal observer. III

been living in st. Louis all his life l

Casper Wheuser called at the police
station last night and told a story of do
nestle infelicity. Eight months ago he
went to Philipsburg, and during his alb
sence his wife ran away with a man
named John Alvey. Yesterday Wheuser
learned that his wife was in Deer Lodge,
and desiring to effect a reconciliation tel
ephoned her, representing himself as
Alvey, and requested her to come to Butte,
which she promised to do, thinking that
her lover was at the other end of the
wire.
After he had secured her promise to
cone to Butte under false pretenses.
Wheuser's nerve failed him and he called
on Captain Leyden. told his troubles tn
the policeman. n requested that a body
guard be furnished him to guarantee his
safety when the meeting between himself
and his errant spouse occurred. Cap
tain Leyden, however. declined to have
anything to do with the matter.
