BULLER REPORTS.


The Railway Has Been Opened to
Newcastle.
LONDON, May 3l.-The following dis
patch has been received at the war
Office from Butler in Newcastle:
1.-The enemy having formed lager
east of the town at Dornberg and hav-
ing pressed my right rear annoyingly,
on May 81 l directed force under
Hildyard. by Woolsdrift and Utrecht,
and another under Lyttleton, by
Schanga Drift, On Dornberg. These
movements caused the enemy at Dorm
berg to retire north. Hildyard is at
Utrecht and the town has surrendered.
Clery is bombarding Laings Mex. The
enemy is much disheartened and were
they not in such very strong positions,
doubt il they would show fight. The
railway was opened to Newcastle on
May 2S."

1t Is predicted in London that I'M
less conditions change American -four
will soon compel the closing of the
mills of England. In France American
flour is able to pay the high tariff
duties and proftably compete with
Frenchmilled flour. 1t is claimed that
American millers can grind the wheat
into flour cheaper than British or
French millers. A comparison of the
ordinary -four mills of European coun-
tries with those of the United States
carries out this assertion. Long ago
in this country the old-fashioned grist
mill gave place to the merchant mill
and the roller process took the place
of the grinding ----cess. Water power
and steam engines of the most eff
cient and economical character are be-
ing used as motive power. In fact, in
America the milling industry has been
reduced to the most economical meth
ods.

Fort Dodge Physician Says He Can Cure
Consumption.
Fort DoDGE, June 3.-That con-
sumption is durable disease is the
rather startling assertion of DIR. j. W..
Kline, of Fort Dodge, the results of
whose investigation with the tubercle
bacilli are now commanding the atten-
ton of the psychologists of the coun-
try. DIR. Kline has been conducting a
series of experiments for the cure OF
tuberculosis for many years, and the
conclusions at which he has arrived,
together with his methods of treat
ment, are about to be given to the
scientific world. The novel feature of
the claim is the method of treatment
of tuberculosis patients, by means of
which DR.. Kline claims that all con-
sumptlves not entirely Frustrated by
the terrible disease can hope to be rid
den of the germ pest and restored to
health and vigor. The treatment or
tonic consists of sunshine-condensed
sunshine-applIed to the body or DIS
eased portions by means of reflector,
and the treatment is known by the
name of "phototherapy."
