BOer Words as Spoken.
Terms That VIII be Seen often in the
News From the Iransyaal.

The language of the Beers in
South Africa is gram matically the
language OF the people of Holland.
They speak Dutch as their fore
fathers in Holland spoke it and
speak it now. They are called
Beers because that is a Dutch word
which describes them. 1t means
farmer, and agriculture is the
main pursuit Of the compntriots Of
Dom Paul. A knowledge of Dutch
would supply an explanation of the
odd looking words that are used in
the newspaper reports from the
Republic. 1t would also enable
one TO pronounce these words as
they should be enuncia, ed.
III one would pronounce Dom
Paul properly, he would say it as
if 1T was spelled come Powl." The
family name Of General Joubert
would be pronounced as if it. were
spelled "Yowbert." The word
Boer is pronounced by the African.

not "Boers." 1t Is "Boeree" and
is pronounced "Bo erch," because

Business Opportunities

The b., C. r. & y. railway is con-
structing a new line north and west
from Worthington, Mimi, to the west
line of the state, which Will be complet-
ed within the year. The country through
which the line passes is the best liz
southwestern Minnesota, is practically
all under cultivation and thickly settled
by well-to-do farmers, who have been
going fifteen and twenty miles to mar
ket. Arrangements have been made to
lay out towns at the most advantage
Gus locations for business. These towns
will need stores and shops of all kinds
and merchants will find favorable open
ings on this new line. Doctors and pro-
fessional men will also find good loca-
tons.
This company is also constructing a
line from Armstrong to Baskerville, Ia.
There will be two new towns on this
line named Maple Hill and Irwin, and
investors will find splendid opoprtuni-
ties at either of these points.
The railway company WILL as it has
always done, join with the business
men of its towns to build up centers of
trade.

ILLINOIS GAME LAW.
Warden Delevan Advocates Re-
taliatory Measure In IoWa.

w
taliatory Measure In Iowa.
Ottumwa, Nov. 17.-State Game War
den George f. Delevan advocates a re-
taliatory measure in Iowa to offset the
obnoxious Illinois game law which the
Burlington sportsmen have been fight
ling. To a reporter he said:
Another thing that is an outrage is
the Illinois game law, which compels
the Iowa sportsman to pay license of
$40 for each county in which he hunts.
Iowa has no law Of this kind and Illi-
nois hunters come over into our terri
tory and poach upon our preserves with
inpunity, while the Iowa hunter must
pay or be arrested and fined. Last Sat
urday Judge kohlsaat of Chicago held
that the Illinois law is constitutional,
IN test case brought from Burlington.
The Burlington sportsmen have a club
house on the Illinois side, and having
been annoyed by the Illinois game war
den determined to make a test case, SO
one of their number shot duck in the
club preserves and was Immediately
arrested. Judge Kohlsaat held the law
constitutional and the Burlington
SPORTSMAN had to suffer- Wisconsin.
Minnesota and the Dakotas have the
same kind of law forbidding hunting
within the limits of the state, but the
license ranges from $40, l think, in the
Ioakotas to s25 per county In Minneso-
ia and Wisconsin. If the other states
have that kind of law, why should
not Iowa have the same. Iowa game
is for Iowa taxpayers and should be
protected from foreign shooters.

THE URBANA MYSTERY.
Now Believed That Robbery Was a
Alnfiva for. Tho f,rfrna

~
Motive for the Crime.
Cedar Rapids, Nov. 17.-Advices from
Urbana indicate that the coils are rap
idly tightening around the men who
blew up the Burrell store and the Office
of the Monitor early Saturday morning.
That there was more than revenge as
a motive for the crime is now genrally
believed, although few except those
who have been working directly on the
case have any idea as to the character
of evidence which has been dug up.
Still it is positively known that some
most damaging facts have been
brought to light.
That j. D. Burrell's store was robbed
before it was blown up is now the firm
belief of those who have studied the
case the closest, and when the mystery
is finally solved Cedar Rapids will play
an important part in the story. The
parties who robbed the building, If a
robbery was committed, We're fourth
class thieves. of the clothes-line type. A
wagon load of goods look like fortune
to them. and If they were successful in
selling the plumber they could live a
year on the proceeds. 1t was known
that the Burrell stock was not as care
fully kept as it might have been and
that after the building and stock had
been torn up by an explosion a wagon
load of goods would never be missed
from the stock. That the burglars had
no idea of setting fire to the building is
the belief of those who hold to the bur-
glar theory. but it is contended that a
fire might easily follow such an explo-
sion as occurred, since there We're two
car loads of flour in the building, which
| is particularly intlammable.
Every possible effort is being made
! to connect the suspected parties with
goods which 1t is said have already
been located, although it is yet unde-
cided whether this plumber is what
came from the Burrell building. The
blowing up of the Monitor Office is re-
garded merely as an incident, an effort
to thicken the mystery enshrouding the
crime, but there are clews which would
almost justify the detectives at work
Lon the case in effecting the arrest of
| parties who are endeavoring to act as
though nothing had happened. No one
will be surprised to see at least two
men make an effort to leave the coun-
try at any time, which action would of
course be taken as an evidence of guilt.

AmANA SOCIETY SETTLES.
I Collateral Inheritance Tax of 1000
Paid Up.

Des Moines. Nov. 1.-THE Amana So
ciety of Iowa county yesterday paid to.
the treasurer OF state $1,000, represent
ing the collateral inheritance tax on
the estate of William Moersche, a
member of the society. The payment
was made in pursuance of the decision
of the attorney general. who held that
it must be made just as If the estate
had been accumulated in the ordinary
ways of private business.
The Amana Society's plan of organi-
cation provides that one on becoming
member takes a certain interest in the
organization and in its prosperity.
During the period of his membership
his interest is at all times carefully
shown on the books of the organization
and he may withdraw at any time and
take out whatever he is entitled to;
that is. he may draw the surrender
value of his stake at that time. Will
lam Moersehal died. leaving no direct
heirs. His interest in the society went
to collateral heirs. and the books
showed that it amounted to about $751;
900. On this the Inheritance tax, at 5
per cent, amounted to nearly 81 900.
The society objected to paying this tax
on the ground that the individual in
terest of Mr. Moerschel could not be
treated as an ordinary private estate.
The attorney general held that it was
so subject and the society promptly
paid the tax.

NEW BRIDGE METHODS.
Hardin County Supervisors Hire ,
SUPPLEMENTARY Dodgers.


Special to Times-Republican.
Eldora, Nov. 1.-THE board of super
visors at its recent meeting changed the
method heretofore employed for build
ing and repairing the bridges of the
county. Heretofore the work was let by
contract. Mr.. o. Dillon has had the con-
tract for the past ten years and has
given good satisfaction, because he is a
thorough mechanic and has done the
work well, but the board has paid him
about $4,000 year for doing the work
and furnishing the material. Mr.. Frank
Cummings, of Union. has now been en-
gagged to superintend the work and will
be paid SO a day for every day he works.
and the county will furnish the ma
terial and pay for all additional help.
The question of putting in clock.
which has been agitated for some time,
was we'll discussed, and while no action
was taken it is understood the clock
will be put in early next spring. 1t will
be good one.
Mr.. f.. j. Davis, of Oskaloosa. APP
peared before the board OF supervisors
and explained the method of invsstigat-
ing the tax evaders of the county, and
urged that contract be let for that
purpose. The board, after discussing
the matter, decided to postpone any ac-
ton on the matter until next term. 1t
is to be hoped the board will take the
necessary action to bring about this in
vestigation, as it is a we'll known fact
that many of our wealthiest men pay
less taxes than some of the compare
lively poor men. 1t is question OF
honestly and right, and those who have
money, bills receivable and property
and give it in will not be wronged, and
if they do not give it in the poor man is
wronged,
