DEWET WHIPPED
Lord Roberts Reports a Boer
Defeat by the British
on Oct. ~.
Caught in the Rensburg Drift
and Suffered a Consid-
cradle Loss.
Says the Jacobsdal Affair Was
Due to Treachery Of the
Inhabitants.

LONDON. Oct. 80. The war Office has
received the following from Lord Rob-
ers, dated Pretoria, Oct 90:
s. Knox successfully engaged Dewet
Oct. 81. During the Boer retreat Knox
caught Dewet in the Rensburg drift.
The Beers lost considerable and left
two guns and three wagons in Knox's
hands. Another ammunition wagon
was blown up by shell. The British
casualties were nil. .
Referring to the Jacobsdal affair,
Lord Roberts says it was due to the
treachery of the inhabitants who adj
mitted the Beers to their houses at
night. They opened fire at day break.
Fourteen men were killed and thirteen
were wounded, mostly Cape Highland
ers. Troops despatched from the Mod
der river drove off the Beers. The
houses of the treacherous inhabitants
were destroyed. Commandant Bosnian
was killed.
Lord Roberts calls attention to the
increasing inclination of the better
class of Beers to cooperate with the
British to secure peace since they find
chat guerrilla warfare is visited with
heavy punishment"

BAD FOR THE BRITISH.
Boerx Have Lately Effected an Unbroken
Series of Successes.

Beers Have Lately Effected an Unbroken
Series of Successes.
LONDON, Oct. 30.-The military stu
alton in South Africa is as bad as can
be imagined from the British point of
view. The Beers have effected an un-
broken series of considerable successes
in every corner of the theater Of war,
and gravest Of all is the evidence, of
ability to isolate Cape Colony from the
north.
An attempt to send British reinforce
ments from Bloomfomtein. to strengthen
the lines Of communication in the south
ern part of the Orange River Colony has
failed There has been persistant
sniping as far south as the Fraserburg
road. -.
This determination to display a SOL
idarity of race feeling puts. enormous
difficulties in the way of Lord Roberts
in his work of suppressinge guerrillas
with severe hand. The Cape Datch
practically say: s''Unless you treat the
Beers as honorable belligerents we will
make your soldiers suffer.

An Old Landmark Burned.

The house built many years ago by
the late G. Fl. jenkins, and by him
occupied for long time, more recent.
ly the property of j. G. Dobbs, and
occupied by 5. c. Johnson, was total
ly destroyed by fire on Wednesday
evening. 1t was the most easterly
house in The city limits and on the
north side Of the river. Mr.. and Mrs.
johnson and the two Younger child
rem, one babe. were in the rear part
OF the house, while the two older ones
were ont, and a lamp had been left for
them, sitting on the sta r case in the
front hall, as usual. Mr.. Johnson
heard q peculiar noise as of something
falling, but as he was busy caring for
the little one who was i'll, and appre-
bending nothing serious. he paid little
attentionto it, until thesmell of smoke
led him to investigate. The front hall
was then in flames, and the fire spread
SO rapidly he could save very little
furniture or clothing. He estimates
his loss at S80O-partially insured.
The house was insured in the Home,
with c. A. Morse, for $500. 1t was
completely destroyed.
On Wednesday morning Mr.. Jonn-
son lost his long pocket book, while
riding horseback from his home to
this side, aud it was picked up by j..
M Garfield, who brought it to him in
the evening, just previous to the fire,
and before he had missed it. Itcon-
tanned thirty dollars in cash and a
number of papers of value. 1t was
fortunate that the pocket book fell
into honest hands and unfortunate that
Mr.. johnson put it into pigeon hole
in his desk, and it was burned.

"TEAR DOWN
The FLAG"
JOHN LIND SAYS THAT is WHAT
HE WOULD DO IN THE PHIL
IPPINEs IF HE HAD
THE POWER.
odd GLORY" A MERE RAG
His Remarkable Statements as Made
at Evansville, WaterviIle
and Wadena.

''The American flag Is mere rag.
not representing the principles of Amer
lean liberty, and should be hauled down
at once"
That is the remarkable sentiment ex-
pressed by Gov. Lind in his speech at
Evansville on Monday evening, Oct. 10
His hearers were stricken dumb with
anna cement. What, Old Glory, whose
broad stripes and bright stars stand
for freedom and equal rights where er
they fiutter in the breeze, a mere rag!
Could such words be the sentiments OF
the chief executive of this great state,
state whose loyalty has always been
first to respond in defense of the ma
tons honor? There was no applause.
Mr.. Lind was closing lengthy adj
dress, and, in speaking of the Philip
pines, he positively said that If he had
the power he would haul down the
American flag there at once, and
wound up with the expression of his
sentiments as above. He did it DELHI
erately. 1t was not mere slip of the
tongue, for in his speech at Water
vile, in lie, Sueur county, on the Fri
day evening previous he uttered almost
the same InlHS. LII SpcdhHlS VI lhoI
meeting, the Waterville Advance says,
in part:
When he began his TRADE about
pulling down the flag the audience rap
idly began to dispense, and to avoid
the ominous appearance of empty
chairs the speech was brought to an
abrupt close"
And, again, at Wadena. on Saturday
evening, Oct. 90, this Organized gov
ernor, after declaring that the war in
the Philippines was the cause Of the
high price of Irvine fiber last winter,
said:
'You know that war always creates
a demand for rope and my only regret
is that more rope was not used and
every one connected with the war
hanged"
Here, as in the previous instance, his
hearers were not only disguised. but
indignant at the disloyal sentiments
These statements are all verified and
their truth can be ascertained from
every person who attended the meet
ings. H.
Every patriotic citizen will resent
these ignoble sentiments and, will take
Mr.. Lind to task for uttering them.

Human science owes many a debt,
especially on the practical side, to the
instinct of the lower animals. One of
these obligations is intimated in a re-
cent scientific review of the subject of
dams. Engineers frequently build
dams straight across streams, the OBJ
ject being, in some cases, to save eX-
pense by sparing material. But the
beaver arches his dam against the cur
rent, and experience has shown that
this form of dam is best to resist floods
and the impact of floating ice. Acting
upon the knowledge which is instinc-
tive with the beaver. and which hui
man calculation approves, the great
Bear Valley dam in California and
some other recently constructed dams
have been so made that their stability
largely depends upon the resistance
which their arched form presents.
