FACTS ABOUT "BUFFALO JONES'
Buffalo Jones' is a native of Illinois,
where his grandfather was counted
among the pioneers. The little town of
Tazewell was his birthplace. Later, as
the second son of a family of a dozen
children, he did all sorts of chores on
the farm his father planted on Money

KRUGER'S RESIGNATION.
Is Confirmed by Advices at Cape
Town.

Cape Town, July 25.-Advices have
been received here confirming the report
that President Kruger of the South
African republic has resigned.
MAY WITHDRAW IT
London, July 25.-RepOrts regarding
the resignation of President Kruger of
the South African republic are conflict
ing, but according to the best infOrma-
ton, he actually resigned his Office con-
ditionally. The Volksraad while main
tanning it's opposition to President Kru-
gers views on the dynamite concession,
has given its assurance that it still has
the utmost confidence in President Kru-
ger and it is believed that he has with
drawn his resignation.
AS to the difference of opinion on the
question Of the dynamite concession,
Gen. P. J. Joubert, vice president of the
republic and the majority of the Volks-
Rad favor cancellation of the mOnOp-
oily while President Kruger supports it.
The minority of the Volksraad desires
to buy out the company.

in after years.
The young active mother, with her
burdens and bravery in the trying Sit

again and again in the portion of the

came an expert in this particular, hav-
ing unusual chance for practice in the
vast herds of cattle placed under his
supervision while yet in his teens.
TANNING WILD ANIMALS.
For the pioneer father had grown rich
in lands and animals and the sons de-
light was to bring the widest of the
brutes into subsection to his will. While
mere child he captured squirrels and
rattlesnakes, extracting the fangs of
the latter, and made many precious dol
lars that afterward went, not for circus
es and other frivolities, but for good
stout trousers and other garments to re-
place those torn to shreds in mad pur-
suit of small game to make more
money on.
There was a term of study at the
Wesleyan university at Bloomington,
one of the classmates of Buffalo Jones'
being Joseph W. Fifer, former governor
of Illinois. The determination to seek
fortune in the lands nearer the Pacific
was reached after two years at the uni
versity.

wild animals became the desire of his
