Lord Roberts Depa -ture-severe Meas.
ures Against IrrecOnciiable..

London, Oct. Recommending Upon
the activity of the Beers and the
statement from Cape Town that Lord
Roberts has postponed his home COM
ing, the Standard says: "There are
certain indications pointing to the
conclusion that unexpected difficulties
have arisen which Lord Roberts deems
grave enough to demand his presence
for some time to come. All the facts
suggest that it is impossible yet to
denude South Africa of any substan-
tial portion of the large army now
engaged in dominating a sullen and
recalcitrant people"
The editorial finally calls for the
severest measures against irreconcil-
able Beers, prompt and ruthless pun
ishment for every insurgent burgher
caught in delicto.'
The editorial concludes with the
statement that "the imperial govern
ment has the countrys mandate and
need not be afraid to act vigorously"

YOu,sey In a Critical Condition

Georgetown, KY, Oct. 11.-Henry
Youtsey remained in a comatose con-
dition all yesterday. Whether that was
due to the opiates administered to
quiet him Tuesday night cannot be as
certained. He has answered no ques-
tions addressed to him by his nearest
relatives and physicians, but once or
twice during the day he held up his
hands and exclaimed: "There is no
blood on my hands-there is no mans
blood on my hands, He has kept his
eyes closed all day and they are still
slightly crossed, as if drawn and set
by the cOnvusion he had Tuesday
night. DR.. Carrick says he is in an ex-
tremely critical condition, which may
take sudden change for the better
or worse at any moment and if for the
worse Youtsey will be permanently in
sane. The court thinks he had sim
ply Mysteries Tuesday night brought
on by the strain and confinement and
that he will recover in day or two.

Dreadful Death of a Young Girl.

Dayton, o., Oct. 15.-The body Of
Ada Lantz, the 12-year-old daughter
of Charles +, Lantz, a carpenter prom
inent in local labor circles, was found
in the rear of her fathers residence
Saturday night. A surprise party had
been rendered her parents, and while
the guests were playing cards the lit
tie girl left the house. Her absence
was not discovered for half an hour,
and after a search of the premises
her body was found. Circumstances
indicate that an assault had been
committed upon the child, and this
was borne out by the coroner's in
vestigation. The body was terribly
mutilated. The police have a sus-
pect in custody, but it is not thought
that he can be held.
