the engine through the yards at Rock
River he leaned far out of the cab win
dow to look ahead of him down the
track. He forgot the position of the
stockyards, apparently, and in the
darkness did not see the huge gates as
the engine approached them. He was
caught by one of them and squeezed
against the side of the cab. His hips
and legs were frightfully bruised and
crushed, but it is thought he will re-
cover.

THE VET
Was Crossed By the British,
Saturday.
THE BOERS RETREAT
ING
From All Points On the River
After Six Hours Fighting.
The British Move Steadily On, While
the Beers Fight With Less
Confidence.

General Roberts telegraphed, at 7:15
Saturday evening, from the Vet River,
stating that after nineteen miles march
his army struck the enemy at the Vet
river, where they were strongly post
ed, but that after six hours fighting
the Beers were routed and retreated.
Roberts was with Pole-Carew's divi-
sion at the crossing of the railroad,
while Hamilton's division occupied
Winburg, the temporary capital of the
Free State, and other points farther
east. This brings Roberts force to a
point 100 miles north of Bloemfontein,
and the Vet was considered one of the
strong lines of the BOer defense. Two
days march further north will bring
Roberts into line and cooperation
with Roberts army at Ladysmith,
which will greatly increase his
strength and give him new base OF
supplies.
KroOnstaat, about a hundred miles
north of the Vet is the only important
town Roberts will strike before he en-.
| ters the Transvaal. The distance his
army had moved, up to Saturday even
| ing, was one fourth of the distance tt
Pretoria, the Boer capital. He is NOV
| ing the center of his army along the
only railroad that runs north through
the Free State, connecting BlOemfon
tein and Pretoria. 1t is probable tina
no determined stand will be made b.
the Beers till Roberts reaches the Vaa
river, which is the boundary line be
tween the Free State and the Trans
vaal.

FILIPINOS
SAY The WAR IS TERMINATED.
The Insurgents Losses During the
Month of April Were I,77I
Men Killed, Wounded
and Captured.

Washington, May 4.-The War De-
partment today received the following
report from General Otis:
"Manila, May a, 1900.-April cap
lures from the enemy were thirty
pieces of artillery, twelve hundred and
nine rifles, considerable ammunition
and large stores of property. During
the early portion of the month the
enemy was active in the extreme north
ern and southern portion of Luzon and
some of the Visayan islands.
"Our reported losses for the month
are thirteen enlisted men killed, three
officers and twenty-four enlisted men
wounded. 1t is rumored the recent
loss in Samar was nineteen killed and
a number wounded, although it is not
yet reported. This is due to small de.
tachments scouting in the mountains In
the interior of the island. The enemy's
losses officially reported were seven
teen hundred and twenty-one killed
wounded and captured.
'Leading Filipinos express conf
dence in the early pacification of the
islands. They say the war has termi
mated. Leading insurgents are sur
rendering. OTIS.

GROWTH Of METHODIST
Almost a Hundredfold in a Hun
dred Years.
PREACHERS THE LIMITDOOMED.

Special Telegraph to the N Y. Tribune
Chicago, May 3.-That the Methodist
Episcopal Church has fourished in the
last hundred years of it's activity in the
United States was impressed upon the
General Conference at its second days
session in the Auditorium today. TIE
episcopal address, read by Bishop Ed
ward G. Andrews, secretary of the
Board of Bishops, showed that from a
body of sixty-one thousand members
the denomination has grown to one of
six million members since 1900, and
while the population of the country
has increased fourteenfold the denomin-
alton has grown ninety-sevenfold.
The removal of the time limit of ap-
pOintments was recommended by the
Bishops, unless it is decided to return
to the three-year limit. When this rec
ommendation was read the Conference
applauded heartily. 1t is now believed
that the time limit, one of the peculiar
features of the policy of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, is doomed.
Eleven o'clock was setas the time for
hearing the address of the Bishops, for
mulated at the meeting in indianapolis
last week. The address, consisting
this time of nearly fifteen thousand
words, was one of the features of the
General Conference, and was heard
with unusual attention and applause.
1t was the longest episcopal address
ever presented, and was declared by the
Rev. James Robertson, of the Irish Con-
ference, from the Platform to be ''the
finest utterance of ecclesiastical states
manship ever issued"
Reports of probable retirement of
some of the Bishops are rife on the floor
of the Conference, and have been
throughout the Methodist Episcopal
Church the last few months. Today
none of the Bishops were willing to dis
cuss the subject at length, and all are
in ignorance of the action that is likely
to be taken by the Committee on the
Episcopacy when it meets. Usually
the General Conference does not retire
. Biship from active service unless him
self requests it, but four years ago at
Cleveland two were placed on the re-
tired list. This time no Bishop has re-
quested that he be relieved from active
| service, so far as is known.
DR.. Fawcett, of Chicago, promises to
take the initiative in bringing up re-
vision of that section of the Book of
Discipline referring to amusements. He
has prepared the following memorial,
which he will have presented to the
Conference at the proper time.
"Let all that part of Paragraph 242
relating to amusments be stricken from
the paragraph, and in connection with
Section Paragraph 1913 let the follow
ing be added: "And it shall be the duty
of the pastors on receiving members in
to the Church to earnestly counsel and
advise them against all worldlypleasures
and practices calculated in any way to de
stroy their spiritual growth and useful
ness, such as playing at games of chance
attending theatres, horse races, circuses
or dancing parties, or patronizing dane
ing rooms

When Shakespeare employed this phrase he

men. If he had lived in these days he would
have known that men and women who are not
healthy may become SO by taking Hoods Sar

rich and pure and giving good appetite and
perfect digestion, imparts vitality and
strength to the system.
