One Of the most tiresome duties of
the newspaper man Of Northwestern
Kansas is that Of mentioning the rains
which recur 50 frequently that the
idea Of printing BIZ OF tri-weeky, ae-
cOrding to the precipitation, has al
ready entered the editorial mind. It
ought not to be objected by the public
that a newspaper issued on this plan
would not be a good one, since it would
come to them Hnew every morning and
fresh every evening"" and then, too,
the subscriber, seeing the drops Of fat
ness fall upon the land, would be on
good terms with himself and the paper
too, when the thought Of paying his
subscription bin flashed upon his con
seriousness. The purpose OF rain srti-
eles is to divert the minds OF non-res-
ident land overs from the eredulity
that the farms Of Sherman county are
baked in the daytime and preserved
through the night By the desOlate
frigity Of a desert. However, every
pilgrim from the Orient in search Of
the verdant plains Of Sherman must
first pass through He'll Greek and Par
adiss before they reach GOo1-land.

most capacity.
At the army clothing depot
the staff has been nearly doubled
and works night and day, like all
other departments, in getting

People are really almost for
getting Christmas in the absorb
ing enthusiasm of war. Trades
people would be hard hit were it
not that they manage to recoup
in money spent for the enormous
number OF presents to be sent out
to South Africa for officers and
men.
But altogether from to-day on
we might easily imagine that
England had commenced new
war, much larger and more inter
esting than the first. Such is the
dominating note among the Eng
lish people this day. All say for
ward; none say enough.
The announcement that the
men of Section D of the army re-
serve are to be recalled to the
colors is significant of the strain
which the present situation has
imposed upon the resources OF
the regular army. The whole
army reserve consists of four
classes of sections, A, B, c and D.
Section A is a small reserve OF
5000 men. Section B consists OF
men who have completed their
color service and are working out
in the reserve the remainder OF
their engagement. Section c
comprises men who for various
reasons have been transferred to
! the reserve before completing the

vice were coming "a SO fast
yesterday afternoon that it was
impossible to attend to them.
They came by post, by telegraph
wire and cables from the east
and the west, Australia, Canada,
Malta and the Cape, and from al
most every region where the
British colonies flourish.
Everywhere the war fever is
visible. People thought the war
fever was great when war was de-
clared, but it was nothing to
what on every side is witnessed
to-day, and what was most re-
markable is that women are Just
as keen as men. Almost every
woman, be she a star in society
or on the stage, tells you with
deep yearning that she wants to
be nurse. If men and women
were to be allowed to have their
own way just now Great Britain
would very speedily be depopu-
lated and find its populace or
African soil.
The wave of enthusiasm which
is rolling all over the country is
being famed by all public speak
ers and newspapers.

assembled. They were OF a
build which showed them tobe OF
a race accustomed TO live an out
door life. They had healthy
looking color in their cheeks.
All OF them were we'll dressed,
most of them affecting a jaunty
colored waistcoat, sporting hunt
ing cravat, leather CATERS and
boots which looked more like
those made for a days shooting
than those which are generally
seen in swell Pail Mall. They
came in crowds; they were eager,
talked much and kept darting in
and out of the doors and pas
sages of the War Office. Many
of them saluted Lord Chesham
and Lord Lonsdale, who each re-
NAMED for a considerable period.
All of these able-bodied,
sportsman-like youths differed
from the usual crowd, inasmuch
as they were not there with the
usual question, What news?"
nor were their faces anxious.
Their expression was eager.
What they wanted to find out,
what they were there for, was to
know how they could get to the
war-how they could be en-
bodied in England's citizen army
OF irregular troops.
According to the War Office
during the day from throughout
the country came offers of SER
vice from 100000 of yeomanry
and volunteers, all prepared to
equip themselves under the
terms of broad latitude of the rule

To Lawton's executive ability and per-

liant execution OF the plan OF campaign

gramme assigned him. When he reached
Tayug and found that the other division
had not arrived, he went through TO Dag

he imposed great lardships upon his men,
he invariably shared their lot cheerfully.
Thirteen Americans. including three
officers, were wounded IN the engagemenC

was killed. Captain Breckenridge's

normal period of service with the
colors.
Section d is a supplemental
reserve consisting of men who on
completion of their first period of
engagement are enlisted to serve
Tor further period OF four years
in reserve, and are not liable to
be called out until after the rest
OF the reserves.
The calling up OF Section D is
therefore an indication, that other
sections are or very shortly will
be used up.
The total strength of the re-
serves, according to the latest re-
turns, was 82,oo5 men. The
army in South Africa will in the
immediate future, according to
the War Office plans, be in
creased fully so per cent. Three
full divisions OF the regular army
are now in process of arrival at
the Cape, on their way thither or
under sailing orders. Large
drafts to bring regiments already
at the front up TO full war
strength to replace the wastage
caused by casualties are being
sent out.
The great force OF volunteers
and yeomanry which is to be or
ganized will still further swell the
number. The total OF reinforce
ments already arranged for fol-
lows:s Volunteers, 1000; yeo-
manry, 5000; fifth division, H.
900 (about 5000 already landed

900; seventh division, 1000;
cavalry brigade, 1900; reinforc-
ing drafts, $4,000; Canadians and
Australians, 1000. Total, $500.
Deducting casualties, these re-
Inducements will bring the Brit
lsh forces in South Africa to I TO-
900, not including the colonial
and irregular troops OF Cape
Colony and Natal, which prob
ably will number 10000.
The action of the city OF Lon
don, through the Lord Mavor
and Corporation, in resolving to
pay the entire cost OF equipment
of 1000 city volunteers, entailine
an expenditure of about 100000
pounds sterling ($5oo,ooo), is but
typical of the feeling prevailing
in England at present. From all
sections come enthusiastic replies
to the call for volunteers.

ONDON, Dec.

O-N DO-Ns 1~N'
Ominous silence continues
regarding Generals Butler
and Methuen. Some interesting
details OF the battle OF COlenso
have been received TO the effect
that the fight was a drawn bat
tie and that British troops are
keeping an eye on the aban-
doned guns, while one tele-
gram records their recovery by a
party OF volunteers. But there
was no confirmation OF these re-
ports. The names OF I37 non
commissioned officers and men
who were killed have been for
warded instead OF II7 as at first
reported.
There was no fresh news from
General Gatacre.
General French had another
encounter with the Beers on
Tuesday, when the New Zealand
ers distinguished themselves un-
der a heavy fire.
The latest dispatch of Saturday
from Modder River refers to an
exchange of shots between the
Beers and General Methuen' IS
outposts. The Beers still hold
their position at Magersfontein.
The town of Jacobsdal is also in
their hands.
But little credence is placed in
the report that the guns lost by
the British were not captured by
the Beers. Had the story been
true General Butler must have
referred to it. Buffers artillery
cannot now muster much more
than thirty guns, while the cap
tured British weapons have nc
doubt been mounted in the Boel
lines and can be used, since the
ammunition wagons seem tc
have been lost with them.
