LExIAGTON, KY, March 3.-John

l am certain would clinch my case.
The slayer Of Goebel was not a Repub

term a Democrat. He is a gambler,

wegered that Goebel would not be gov

WASHINGTON, March 2.-The siege Of

General White were compelled to fall
back from Dundee and Glencoe, 81
though the town YVES not cut IF from
ali communication until Nov "a In
their retreat to Ladysmith the British
fought numerous engagements with the
Beers, suffering heavy losses in officers
and men. Between October % and
November 2 severe fighting occurred
on the outskirts of the city, following
British sorties, the Beers being victo
ricus in every engagement and slowly
driving the English to seek refuge be
hind their entH enchments. Since No

the bomb3rdment by the Beer batter

most incessant.
General Butler began his advance for
the relief of the belaaguered garrison
late in November, ard had to fight
every inch of the ground for many
miles before the besieged city was
reached Four times he crossed the
Tugela River and four times he was
driven back.
The forces under General White at
beginning OF the siege are believed to
have numbered about 5000. Since
then many have been killed in battle or
have succumbed to diseass. The resi-.

8. 900, but this was largely increased
by refugees 8 warming into the town be-

nation, should be held legally respon
sible. The nature of the business, to
gether with the powers of the various
officers, should be exposed in the Ger

be open to inspection. The directors
or trustees should be required to re

meetings with lists of members, with
their addresses and their several hold
ings, and to provide in whatever other
ways may be named in the certificate
of incorporation, means whereby the
members may prevent the misuse OF
their property by directors or trustees.
1t is recommended that the larger
corporations should be required to

Why So Many YOUNG Men rail.

conc trouble with many young men
who start out in business is they try to
do too many things at once" says Het-
ty Green. THE result is that they
don't know as much as they ought to
about amy one thing. and they natural
ly fail. The trouble with young men
who work on salaries is that they're
always afraid of doing more than
they re paid for. They don't enter into
their work with the right spirit. To
get on and be appreciated a young man
must do more than he's paid to do.
When he does something that his en-
poNcr has not thought Of, he shows
that he is valuable. Men are always
willing to pay good salaries to people
who will think of things for them.
The man who only carries out the
thoughts and ideas of another is moth
ing more than II mere tool. Men who
can be relied upon are always in do
mand. The scarcest thing in the world
today is Il thoroughly reliable man."
