BOER VICTORY.
1t Is a Few Days Old But Serves
to Add to the British
Confusion.

[News-Democrat Leased Wire Service.
Pretoria, January 27.-(Delayed.)-
Comandant Delarey reports from Coles
berg, Cape Colony, another repulse of
the British on January ga large
force advanced on the Boer position
but was attacked and forced to retreat
with heavy losses. The Boer casualties
were two men slightly wounded. Gen.
Grobler also reports that he repulsed
the British, presumably on the same
day, with the assistance of General
Schoeman. The British in force at
tempted to surround the Beers, but were
driven off. The Beers maintained their
position. The losses were five men
wounded, one seriously. The British
loss is said to have been severe.

London, Jan. 3O.-Public opinion is
partly diverted from the situation at the
front to the situation at home made in
teresting by the opening of parliament,
but the former is still uppermost in
mems minds. Up to noon today no fur
ther news has been received from Bull
Ter, and it is believed that some time
will elapse before he will again record
his movements, Meanwhile a fresh
alarm has sprung up. The opinion pre-
walls that Butler after recrossing the
Tugela started eastward for his old base
at Chieveley to formulate new plans
for attack or to arrange for the aban-
donment of the Ladysmith campaign.
Knowing the mobility of the Boer forces
1t Is now feared that they will antici-
pate Buffers eastward movement to
his base by sudden attack on Chieye-
ley itself, which is held only by mod
crate force under General Barton. Bull
Ter would thus be hemmed in. with
the Beers on his front and with his
cumbersome transports and heavy ar
tillery his position on the roughroad
from Springfield to Chieveley would
be dangerous if not desperate

ceeded in relieving the pains to some

queens speech relative to the war sit
uation. She said:
1--WE regret that the peace which had
been recently broken in South Africa
when we last addressed you, has not
been restored, and that in resisting The
intervention in our South African coll
onies so many valuable lives should
have fallen in sacrifice. We have wit
messed with pride and the heartiest
qualification the patriotic eagerness
and spontaneous loyalty with which my
subjects came forward to the defense
of their imperial interests"
The queen goes on to say that other
wise the relations with the powers con-
tinue friendly. Continuing, she says:
THE estimates for public service must
be largely increased on account of mill
tary operations. The experience al
ready gained in the war must necessar-
lily afford lessons of the most important
character to the military administra-
ton. Neither the country nor you, am
convinced, will shrink from any outlay
to place our defensive operations on a
level with the responsibilities which
the possession of so great an empire
has laid upon us. The time is not pro-
pitiOuS for domestic reforms involving
much expenditure.

allied The petition, however, recites
that Peter Persons father, Peter Pier
son, left him some property subject to
the life estate of Catharine Pierson and
when the said Catherine Pierson dies

this legacy be applied to the payment

fore this is done.

Columbus, Jan. 3O.-The bill of Rep
resentative Snyder to prohibit the use
of trading stamps and to do away with
like alleged gift enterprises is meeting
with much favor among members of the
Legislature and it seems destined to
pass Not every city in the state has
been affected like Canton but the mem
bers are being told of the way the
thing works and are interesting them
selves. Mr.. Snyder, while in Canton
over Sunday, talked with a number Of
merchants and it is thought that he re-
ceived new information that will be Of
benefit when the fight for the passage Of
the bill comes up. 1t is expected that
the trading stamp people will make a
complaint and will make an effort to
have the bill defeated but it is not
thought the interference will be potent
enough to kill the bill. The bill pro-
Yides:
That no person shall sell or offer for
sale any article of merchandise of any
description whatever, with the promise,
| expressed or implied, to give or deliver,
or in any manner hold out the promise
of gift or delivery of any ticket, check,
metal or paper stamp, or other written
or printed promise or assurance, eX-
pressed or implied, that the said ticket,
check, metal or paper stamp, or written
or printed promise, or assurance may be
used in payment or purchase of, or ex-
change for. any other article of mer-
| chandise from any other person or cor
| poration,
1t shall not be unlawful for any mer-
chant or manufacturer to place tickets
or coupons in a package of goods sold
or manufactured by him, such tickets
or coupons to be redeemed by such
merchant or manufacturer, either in
money or merchandise, whether such
packages are sold directly to the con-
sumner or through retail merchants
Nor shall it DE unlawful for any person
to give out with such package, tickets
or coupons so given out by such mer-
chant or manufacturer.
Any person violating the provisions
of this act shall be guilty of a misde-
meanor, and shall be punished by a
fine of not more than one thousand dol
lars, or be imprisoned in Jail not ex-
ceeding six months, or both.

A JURY TRIAL.

Judge McCarty got the first jury trial
of the term started in his court Monday
morning. 1t was the suit of DR.. Dewitt
against the trustees of Pike township.
The doctor performed an operation upon
the wife OF Alfred st. Clair and wanted
the trustees OF the township to pay the
bill OF $3.50. The trustees refused and
the question at issue is of considerable
importance in determining just what
authority the trustees OF a township
may or are compelled to assume in the
matter OF medical attention to the peo-
pie OF the township. In this instance the
defense Is raising the question that
the st. Ciairs were not township
charges and that the trustees were not
compelled TO pay their bills therefore.
Attorney Krichbaum and Rice represent
