Health in her beaming eyes, health in
her glowing cheek, health in her merry
laugh Yet country air and country
hours can't save her from the common
experience of women an experience
Which dulls the eye, pales the cheek,
and turns the laugh to sigh. Won1anly
ills come to almost all. But for these
ills there is help and healing in DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription. 1t regu-
lates the periods, stops unhealthy drains,
cures inflammation, liberation and te-

MAJUBA AVENGED
CRoNJEo SuRRENDERs HIS ENTIRE
COMMAND TO ROBERTS.

Capitulation Occurred on the Anniversary
of the Mujuba Disaster-Boers Said tn
Be Assembling in Force at Point
Thirty Miles From Biocnfontein, Pre-.
pared to Further Resist Enberts.
LONDON, Feb. 27.-The war office
has received the following from Lord
Roberts:
"Paardeberg, Feb 27.-I have the
pleasure to announce that on the morn
ing Of Feb. ~, at 4:35, General Cronje
made an unconditional surrender. in
cluding all ammunition, guns and sup
plies, and is nova prisoner in this
camp. I hope this announcement will
be pleasing to her majesty the queen,
occurring as it does, on the anniversary
of Majuba Hill.
LONDON, Feb. 2S.-Although the sur
render of General Cronje has caused
general rejoicing throughout England
there is no disposition to over-estimate
the success gained. The government
entertains no illusion. AS announced
in the house Of commons 10000 addi.
tional troops will Immediately go out
and the effective will be kept near
100000.
Lord Roberts has done more than to
capture 1000 Beers and.a few guns. He
is within striking distance of one of the
Boer capitals and is master Of large
district of the Free State. He has given
shock to Boer confidence and immeas-
urably restored the spirit of his own
troops. In capturing Cronje he has
taken leader whose presence alone
was worth thousands to the Boer cause.
The best opinion is that the Trans
vaalers are certain to continue the fight
with undiminished valor, but it is not
SO certain about the Free Staters
No News From Correspondents.
Lord Roberts has not allowed the
corps of descriptive writer's with him to
supplement his plain narrative as yet
and there are some points i'll doubt. 1t
is not clear whether the 1000 prisoners
taken include those taken in small par
ties before the capitulation. What has
become Of the rest of the Beers who
held the Magersfontein lines and where
are the big guns? The smallness of
Cronje's force causes some wonderment.
Sir Redvers Butler is having hard
time in Natal. Severe fighting took
place at the end Of last week, as an
armistice was agreed upon for the pur-
pose of attending the wounded and
burying the dead. Both sides must
have lost heavily.

Receivers Appointed to Take Charge Of
the Flour Trust.
MILWAUKEE, Feb. 27.-The United
States milling combine, generally known
as the flour trust, went to pieces Saturday
afternoon, but the fact did not become
known until Judge Jenkins, in proceed
ings ancillary to the United States court
OF New Jersey, appointed three receiv-
ers for the company, two of whom are
now i'll charge of the property. The re-
ceivers are Daniel Thomas of New
York, Charles E. Kimball of Summit.
N. j., and Albert G. Loring Of Mime
apolis.
The collapse of the company is due to
the inability of the company to float it's
securities on the open market.
The United States Milling company
was formed with capital stock of $780,.
100000, on April 81, 1899, having Sc
cured control of the following flour
milling properties:
In Milwaukee-The Daisy and Faist.
Kraus Mills.
In Superior-The Lake Superior, the
Anchor and the Listmann mills.
In West Superior-The Grand Repub-
lie, the Freeman and the Minkota mills.
In Minneapolis-The Excelsior, the
Standard and St. Anthony mills, to-
gether with 95 per cent of the capital
stock Of the Northwestern Consolidated
Milling company, which operates and
owns five big flour mills
In Duluth The Imperial and the Con-
structed Terminal elevators.
In New York state The Syracuse
mills, the Baldwinsville mill, the Urban
mill.
In New Jersey-Ninety-five per cent
Of the Hecker-Jones-Jewell Milling COM
pany, which operates and owns four
large mills.
Similar proceedings will have to be
instituted in every circuit where the
company owns property The bond
fixed by the New Jersey court is $780,.
900 in each case. Judge Jenkins re-
quires them to give an additional bond
of $4,000 each. While the original
suit is in New Jersey, the greatest liti-
CATION will probably be in Wisconsin, as

MILES ADMlRES CRONJE.

Great Valor Shown in Standing OFF Fifty
Thousand Picked Britishers.
NEW YORK, Feb. 2S.-The World
prints the following statement from
General Miles:
"Cronje's surrender was expected and
it was the only possible outcome after a
force of 5000 had held out for week
against a trained force of $4,000. Cron-
je's action will strengthen the cause of
the Transvaal You will observe that
Cronje at first had a force of 5000 and
he surrendered with 5000. What be.
came of the other 5000? The effect of
the surrender shows the fighting valor
OF this handful of Boers-only 5000
against an army of $4,000 English
picked soldiers. The effect of Cronje's
surrender will be to strengthen rather
than to weaken the Boer power and
cause in this 1yar''

Details of the Affair ns Told by Lord
Roberts.
LONDON, Feb. 2S.-The war Office has
received the following dispatch from
Lord Roberts:
"Paardeberg, II o'clock, Tuesday
morning.-From information furnished
daily to me by the intelligence depart
ment it became apparent til It General
Cronje's force was becoming more de-
pressed and that the discomfort of the
troops and the discord among the lead
ers were rapidly increasing. This feel
ing was doubtless accentuated by the
disappointment caused when the Boer
reinforcements which tried to relieve
General Cronje We're defeated by our
troops Oh Feb. 20. resolved, there
fore, to bring pressure to bear upon the
enemy. Each night the trenches were
pushed toward the enemy's laager, so
Us to gradually contract his position,
and at the same time I bombarded it
heavily with artillery, which was yes
terday materially aided by the arrival
of four 6-inch howitzers, which had
ordered up from De Aar. In carrying
out these measures a captive balloon
gave great assistance by keeping us in
formed Of the disposition and move-
mcnts of the enemy. At 8 a. M. today
q most dashing advance was made by
the Canadian regiment and some en-
gineers, supported by the First Gordon
Highlanders and Second Shropshires,
resulting in our gaining point some
600 yards nearer the enemy and within
80 yards Of his trenches, where our
men entrenched themselves and
maintained their positions until morn
ing, gallant deed, worthy of our colo.
nial comrades and which, I am glad to
say, was attended by comparatively
slight loss.
An Offer to Surrender.
"This apparently clinched matters,
for. at daylight today, a letter signed by
General Cronje, in which he stated that
he surrendered Internationally, was
brought to our outposts under flag of
truce.
''In my reply told General Cronje
he must present himself at my camp,
and that his forces must come out of
their laager, after laying down their
arms. By Z a. m. 1 received General
Cronje and dispatched telegram to you
announcing the fact. In the course of
conversation he asked for kind treat:
ment at our hands, and also that his
wife, grandson, private secretary, ad.
jutant and servants might accompany
him wherever he might be sent. I re-.
assured him, and told him this request
would be complied with. I
informed him that general
officer would be sent with him to
Cape Town, to ensure his being treated
with proper respect en- route. He will
start this afternoon, under charge of
Major General Prettyman, who will
hand him over to the general command
ing at Cape Town.
1.-The prisoners, who number about
5000, will be formed into commandos
under our own officers. They will also
leave here today, reaching Modder
river tomorrow, when they will be
rallied to Cape Town in detachments.
The above dispatch was read i'll both
the house Of lords and the house of
commons. The reference to the Cana.
dians evoked immense and prolonged
cheering.

by member Of the cabinet that the
provision in the Porto Rican compro-
mise tariff bill which stipulates that all
the revenues collected on Porto Rican
goods and goods imported from the
United States and elsewhere shall be ex-
pended in the island for the benefit Of
its people is the prominent feature
which reconciles the president to its
passage. With this provision in the
bill, he said, the net result would be in
measure the same as free trade, which
the president recommended to congress
in his message.

IN FAVOR OF DEMOCRATS,

Decision of the Kentucky Contest Board
for Minor State Officers.
FRANKFORT, KY, Feb. 27.-The state
contest board has awarded certificates
of election to all of the Democratic con-
testants for minor state offices. Imme-
diately afterward the contestants were
sworn in and repaired to the statehouse
in body, where they made formal
demand on the Republican incumbents
for possession of the offices, but the de-
mands were not acceded to. Clerk of
the Court of Appeals Shackelford ad-
ministered the oath of office to all the
contestants for office other than gov
ernor and lieutenant governor.
The principal grounds set out in the
report for the finding in favor of the
Democratic contestants are:
Because of military interference in
Louisville on account of which the cleo
ton there should he thrown out ell

Toney in granting all injunction allow.

IN A BLAZE OF GLORY.
General Debate OH the Porta Rican Tariff
Bill ClOSeA.

General Debate on the POrta Rican Tariff
Bill Closes.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.-The general
debate on the Porto Rico tariff bill
closed in blaze of glory. The galleries
were banked to the doors and every seat
on the floor was occupied when the rival
champions of the respective sides, Mr.,
Dolliver Of Iowa and Mr.. Bailey Of
Texas, made their arguments. Each
spoke. for an hour and half. The
speech Of Mr.. Bailey, devoted as it was
almost to the legal phases of the coll
troversy, while it was profound and
impressive, did not cause the unbounded
emotion which swept the galleries and
floors when Mr.. Dolliver was speaking.
The Iowan was at his best and his wit,
eloquence and sarcasm drew salvos of
applause from his Republican associ-
ates. Before those closing speeches
were made Mr.. Cannon of Illinois spoke
in support Of the bill and Messrs. Car.
mack (Dem.), Peyton (Dem., Ala.),
Kleberg Dem., Tex.), Pearce and De
Almond Dem., No. in opposition.

ColENso, Sunday, Feb. E5.-In the

evening to rush the Beer position en-
Pieters hill the Boer fire was. SO terrible
when the infantry emerged from the
cover of the trees that almost every man
in the leading half of the company fell
wounded. The advance line of the
British reached donga in front of the
first Boer trench, which was not an.
parent until they We're actually in it.
The Beers retired to the crest and then
returned on either flank of the Innis.
killings, enfilading the captured donga
with terrible cross fire. Finding it
impossible to advance or to hold the
position the British fell back and en-.
trenched themselves half way up the
hill. The Beers maintained a heavy
fire. In the course of the night, the
Dublin fusileers and the Connaughts
arriving to support the Inniskillings,
another determined attempt was made
to take the Boer positions. This also
failed. A heavy fire continued through
out the night. The Inniskillings lost ID
out of II officers killed and wounded
and about $50 non-commissioned officers

TREATED AS WELL

Say Our Commercial Treaty With Th,t
British Province Is Preferable to Their
Tariff Measure-Had Hoped for Abso.
lutte Free Trade and the Idea Of Tariff
Is Repugnapt.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.-The men,
bers of the several delegations from
Porto Rico now in Washington, having
read the compromise measure adopted
at the Republican conference, have
united in statement to congress in
which they say that the idea and the
theory of a tariff are repugnant to them
and that they are content to stand be-
fore their people and the people of the
United States on the general broad
proposition that the island is entitled to
receive absolutely free commercial re-
lations at once.
They call attention to the fact that
the United States government, through
the state department., recently negoti.
ated treaty with the island of Trini-
dad i'll the West Indies, which is a Brit
ish province and q direct competitor Of
Porto Rico, by the terms of which
treaty Trinidad is to receive from the
United States, free of duty, all articles
of machinery and implements and arti-
cles of husbandry and nearly all food
supplies, the free list for Trinidad in
this treaty being larger than the list of
articles now admitted free in Porto
Rico by executive order, all of which it
is proposed to tax under the tariff bill
now pending i'll congress. The delega-
tions consider this unfair.
