Lord Roberts Moving.

London, May 5.-Lord Roberts Is ev-
identity losing no time In following up
the substantial advantage gained by
the occupation Of Brandfort. His whole
force is apparently moving on Wyn-
burg. The place mentioned in Roberts
dispatch to the war office this morning
as Meal welkot" cannot be found on
the maps. 1t is likely that it Is cable
error for near wetkop." in which Gen
eral Ian Hamilton seems to be, midway
between Houtnek and Wynburg. and
he has thus got between Wynburg and
General divers command from WEEP
ener, which is is occupying Thaba Pat
choa. Between Thaba NChu, Lady
brand and wynburg the country Is
rough and suited for the Boer tactics,
So the British are liable to be consider
ably harassed before they capture a
stronghold. Experts differ as to wheth
or Roberts Is bound towards Kroon-
stadt or in the direction OF Bethlehem,
the terminus Of the line joining the
Natal railroad at Van Reenan's pass
The capture OF that place would prob
aoly compel the Beers to leave ht
Drakenburg range and thus open the
way for General Buffers advance. The
British will have to repair the bridge
over the Vet before the r. ''road be-
tween Brandfort and Wyh 90. be
comes available.

A WlFE'S LETTER.
II Gave a Clue to Her Husband and
He Was Arrested.
STOLE GRUNSFELD'S bLACK HORSE.

Under Sheriff Newcomer left last
night for Pineville, Mo, with a war
rant in his pocket for the return TO this
city, OF one, Richard Nichols. En route
he stopped over in Santa Fe today. to
secure requsition papers from Gov.
Otero on the governor OF Missouri, and
hopes to have Nichols behind the bars
OF the Bernalillo county Jail inside Of
week. The story OF Nichols down
fall and his arrest, all brought about
by loving. but innocent wife, who
wished TO know her husbands where
abouts, is about as follows:
on the night OF April s, Grunsfeld
Bros big black delivery horse was
stolen from w. l.. Trimble & Co.'S red
barn, and one OF the employees at THE
barn, known as Tex" was missing.
on the morning OF the 9th, a man with
| Winchester and a slx-shooter showed
up at Camp Whitcomb and secured
breakfast. A short time after break
| fast he scanned the country round
| about and seeing no signs Of officers
(although a posse Of deputy sheriffs
| had left this city on his traiD mounted
the black horse and rode on down the
| small mountain road and thence along
the main road to the town OF Tjeras
passing through that town about 9
o'clock on that movl ng sHere the clue
was lost.
However his wife wanted him.
Nichols had written 10 her. back In his
home at Tin City, Mo, from this city,
that he would leave here on March 22
for home riding a black horse and with
plenty OF money in his pockets, and
that en- route through the country he
would stop long enough at towns to
write her letters. Subsequent events
show that he did not get away until
the night of April s. and he failed to
write, according to his letter, TO his
wife.
The wife knew that her husband
was in Albuquerque and that ne
worked FOR w l.. Trimble & co. She
grew uneasy about him; thought that
he had been waylaid, robbed and muir
dered while on his lonesome ride tC
Missouri, and requested Mr.. Trimbl'
to assist her in locating her husband
This wife's letter was the link need
ed in the capture OF the horse thief, tol
up TO that time the Trimbles did no
know the mans name nor his home
believing that the fellow was from
Texas and hence they called him Tex.

NEEDED THE SOAP.
The Amiability of Women Shoppers
in u Bargain Store Rush Is
Truly Fetching.

It was at department store bargain coun;
ter for odds and ends. Women squeezed
counter. Frequently two of them happened
to pick up the same bargain at one and the
same time, and then they both retained their
clutch on it and looked daggers at each other
until the stronger of the two won the VIC
tory or the bargain was rent into ribbons. :,
A naughty matron with an electric seal
coat picked up box containing three cakes
of imported soap for eight cents at the same
moment that an humble looking little wom-
an in faded tan coat had fastened her grasp
on the box. .
IT believe I was the first to take hold of
his" said the matron in the electric seal
coat, freezingly.
The humbIe-looking little woman held on
for minute, studying her antagonist, then
she slowly relaxed her hold on the box.
"Wen, you can have it" she said, amiably.
"You look as if you need the soap"
The bargain counter is the place to OBJ
serve how they love one another.-Waghing-
ton Post.
