with this Boer force. He probably is still
with it, so that if it can be surrounded he
may be captured.
The Boer tactics appear to have been
elementary in the extreme, for they had
no real defense on either of their TANKS,
although their intrenchments were intri-
cate, while the nature of the country al
lowed the easy progress of cavalry in
whichever direction was deemed advisa-
BILE.
A BOer Bluff.
The ease with which Roberts attained
his object strongly indicates that the
Beers never intended TO make a serious
stand at this position and that it was
merely screen to hide their real point of
concentration or was a device to get the
British to display their full strength.
II either of these suggestions be cor
rect, the Boer designs were successful.
From other quarters of the war the re-
ports are favorable to the British except
IN the northwestern provinces of Cape
Colony, where the Dutch uprising is set
ting the Carnarvon district on fire.
In Natal Butler is pushing up reconnoi-
tering bodies of troops northward and
westward, backed up by re-enforcements.
Scouts report that there are no Beers
on the Natal side of Van Reenen's pass.
still more heavy casualty list has
been received from Butler of losses dur
ing the last two weeks of February, af-
fording evidence of the determined re-
sistance of the Beers in the final opera
tons for the relief of Ladysmith. The
catalogue issued yesterday comprises 1913
killed. 575 wounded and "a missing.
Adding these to the returns issued on
Monday, it makes the total 1859 for the
fortnight named.
Altogether it may be estimated that no
less than 5000 British troops were plac-
ed hors de combat by the operations of
the relief column during the last ten
weeks
General Clements has advanced as far
as Oorlogspoort river. His next move
will be to the Orange river bridge.

TAYLOR is NOT SURPRISED
 AND BECKHAM IS GRATIFIED

Frankfort, Ky, May Ex-Governor Beck ham gave out the following interview to- night:
 'I am, of course, very much gratifed at the decision of the supreme court. I never had any doubt as to what the decision would be, because it seemed the proposition of law before them was so clear that no court could take different view from that of our court of appeals in this state, and of the supreme court It is triumph of law and order over lawlessness and desperation, a victory which MT Goebel and myself won in November at the polls, by majority of the legal votes cast in that election, vic tory which was ratified by the representa- tives of this state in their general assembly and which was at last declared legal and binding by the highest court in the land I shall be liberal and as broad-minded as possible in administering the affairs of the state, and my highest ambition shall be to restore a perfect respect for law and or der throughout the bounds of the state This decision also brings us face to face with another great state campaign, and I desire to say that while the republican party has sought to make its battle cry a plea for civil liberty that on our side we intend to make an earnest and aggressive campaign with our battle cry as plea for the protection of human life and protest against the methods of assassination in the affairs of our state government"

MILLER REFUSES
 ID MAKE THE GALL
Serious Complications Have Aris- en in the Ranks of Mis-
 sissippi Democrats.

Jackson, Miss, May 21.-Chairman c. G. Miller of the democratic state executive committee, has positively refused to call another meeting of the committee for the purpose of resembling the call for a pri- mary in order to select national conven- ton delegates, unless forced to do so by an appeal of majority of the members.
 His reply to Governor Longino's letter written Saturday night is to this effect: That ten of the seventy-five counties in the state have refused to hold the primary or dered by the committee. Six counties have ordered the primary.
 It seems that the party is in a state of open disruption and at present it is inn possible to conjecture where the matter will end The county executive committee of Lee county practically bolts the party by issuing public address urging that mass meetings be held in every county of the state on the 23d of June to select dele gates to a state convention to be held in Jackson five days following.
 Fourteen counties have reyolted from the committee order and the party is in state of disorder. The threat is now openly made that unless provisions are made by the regular organization for a state con- yention rival organization will be formed and Mississippi have two sets of delegates to Kansas City.

antly trampled upon the will of the people expressed at the ballot box. It struck at the very foundation of liberty regulated by law l found also that the regulation of the body of gentlemen claiming to be the kentucky legislature was purely arbitrary because made without looking at all into the evidence.
 Tt is not a pleasing thing to say, but I feel constrained from sense of duty to say that the action of that body was such that it ought not to be respected in any court as Judgment upon the question in- volYing important rights submitted to it Tor division, but as action taken wholly outside of all law and in contempt of the constitutional rights of freemen to select their rulers. The record justly influences the belief that that body was wholly in- different as to the nature of the evidence and that there was a fixed purpose on it's part to put Goebel into office and oust Taylor, regardless of the proof in the case"
 He announced that in his opinion the judgment should be reversed, and said that later he would file a more elaborate writ ten opinion.

Louisville, Ky, May Ex-Governor Taylor arrived in the city from Frankfort at Il o'clock and went at once to the custom house. He intended leaving for his home in Butler county at noon, but missed his train.
 Shortly after the decision of the supreme court was received from Washington the governor Was seen by representative of the Associated Press in the private office of Collector Sapp at the custom house. After reading the Associated Press bulletin the governor said:
 T rather expected the decision would be against me. The adverse rulings of the state courts have made a sort of pessimist of me, and I am not surprised that the su- preme bench has overruled the writ of er- TOT.
 This is not a time to talk. I will only reiterate my former statements in regard to renomination, that will depend upon the will of the people,"

TAYLOR ORDERS HIS
 FORCES TO VACATE
Chairman Barnett of Republican Committee Will Call a Meeting to Fix Time
 for State Convention.

Louisville, May Ex-Governor Taylor late in the afternoon issued the following order: "To General D. R. Collier, Frankfort, Ky: '"The supreme court of the United States having decided in favor of MT. Beckham nothing now remains to be done except to dismiss the militia and surrender your office to your successor appointed by MT. Beck ham. You are therefore directed to at once dismiss the militia and to surrender your office to your successor as soon as the man. date of the supreme court is filed or sooner if you wish. Tender the militia my kindest regards and sincere thanks for their brave manly and patriotic service
 wv. s. TAYLOR" Chairman c. M. Barnett of the republican state centarl committe stated tonight that he would call a meeting of the committee a few days after the national convention at Philadelphia to fix a time and place for holding a state convention. He said that the logical candidate of the republican party for governor would be William S. Taylor, and unless he positively refuses to accept the nomination MT. Taylor will be the candidate.

SENATORIAL COURTESY.
The Gentleman from the south Gavs
Way and the senate Was
Adjourned.

Senator Pettus, of Alabama, is the most
owllike member of the senate. He is so
ponderously solemn that he is unconscious.
ly humorous.
Mr.. Pettus will be 50 years old next July.
He belongs to the old school Of southern
statesmen now fast disappearing. It is easy
to see, in the dogmatic manner in which he
lays down the law to his senatorial col
leagues, that he has been Judge. He speaks
with great elaboration, at the rate of about
six words minute, and each word is en-
phasized by the waving of his chin whiskers.
His gestures are confined to wide sweep Of
his arm from his body and an inverse mo-
ton. Everything he does or says is serious.
Even when he wants the senate to adjourn,
he goes about it in a way that is the very
quintessence of solemn dignity. For in
stance, the other afternoon, when Mr..
Spooner was talking on the Quay case, Mr..
Pettus arose.
II should like to ask the senator to give
way for motion, if he peases," remarked
Mr.. Pettus, uttering each word as if the
fate of the nation depended upon the an
swer.
II will agree to anything the senator
wants me to" replied Mr.. Spooner, smiling
ly, Except to vote against my convictions on
constitutional question"
II am not asking you to do that" said
Mr.. Pettus, still mysterious, ''but I want
you to give. way to a motion"
well, what is it asked Mr.. Spooner
1T is to adjourn" answered Mr.. Pettus,
in his melancholy voice and without a
smile.
Every member of the senate laughed, and
the motion to adjourn was carried.-Wash.

"Dr. Hartmann:
"Dear Sir-Pe-ru-na has been my
salvation. It has given me back a
beautiful voice, a gift of God; it has
brought me once more to my old pro-
fession. I can talk now, and sing,
where before, I could scarcely wills
per. Can you wonder at my delight?
l wish every person who is suffering
as I suffered might know Pe-ru-na.
Only those who have been afflicted
can ever know the intense satisfac-
ton and gratitude that comes with a
complete cure. My voice was COM
plctely gone. April Is felt so elatcd
over the restoration of my voice that
inserted an advertisement in The
Star for vocal pupils. The advertise
ment, which cost me 65 cents, brought
me five pupils, and that was the be-
ginning of my present large class.
Yours gratefully,

Ronald Fanshaw smiled genially, but
he made no reply, and Dave sauntered
away to the river to see if his trout
lines had caught anything. When he
found himself alone our hero fell to
dreaming of his past life. Above the
tree-tops half a mile to the east, or
high, steep roof and dormer windows
of the chief mansion of the locality,
"Carnleigh," the splendid home Of the
county's greatest planter, Col. Henry
Hasbrooke.
The house, in its silent grandeur, rep
potent factor in the struggles Of this
young man towards the acquisition Of
things above and beyond him in the
dreamy blue realm of possibility. Its
massive Corinthian columns, its vast
white proportions and its aristocratic
inmates, whom he saw driving along
the roads, told him constantly what he
and his family were not. Up to bis
twenty-fifth year his fancy had dared to
play only about the exterior of this old
family seat, but of late his imagination
call it ambition, if you will, had led
him beyond the mystic portals, and he
walked there with men and ladies'; he
dined there; he discussed topics he had
read with the white-haired host; he
stood near the piano and heard Evelyn
Hasbrooke play and sing; he saw her
white hands fit over the keys, and felt
her smile up at him. And then the
bubble would burst and the grim, sor-
did contrast of his real existence would
grasp and wiring the gall from his soul.
Evelyn Hasbrooke was unwittingly
responsible for these later dreams. He
lad rendered her a service the pre-
ceding sumner when she was home
from school. ID him the act was
nothing, but when it was over she had
hung white and a1sivering on his arm,
and in that wonderful cadence of hers

considered marvel of convenience by
the neighbors. While it was building,
Jason Fanshaw had contributed many
peevish objections to the work, which
he considered a waste of time, but when
the clear, cold water gushed out at his
door, he melted under a blaze of Won
der, and now no stranger ever came to
his house who was not shown "the wa
terworks."
Huh he would exclaim with pride,
nobody else has got a spring on his
land high enough fur such thing. Col.
Hasbrooke would pay no end O. money
eff he could have it. He has to keep two
niggers busy film his tank an then the
waters stale an hot. You see, we sunk
our pipes so deep that the waters as
cold as ice."
A hundred yards from the house
was dense wood which stretched on
to small river a mile away, and fur
Their on to high mountain, and here
Dave found his brother lying on the
grass reading his Blackstone. In his
unlikeress to his family he was an
anomaly; he was over six feet in height,
well built, slender, dark of complex
shapely prominence of his brow a sug-
gestion of strong mentality one might
look for in vain in any of the other
Fanshaws; his limbs had the slight,
strong look of blooded horse; palm
list would have said that his hands in
dicated the possession of refined, SEN
sitive spirit.
ooh, had no idea you was heer!"
exclaimed Dave. 81 jest thought I'd
take walk to git away from all that
clatter up at the house. An to tell
you the truth, I've got quart hid in
that stump thar; don't you want to
wet yore whistle, as the felier said?
I have to keep it hid from the old man );
he's too ALFRED stingy to buy whisky,
but he loves it like a hog does slop."
"You know never drink, replied the
other, firmly. His words formed a
striking contrast to the dialect of his
brother; there was vague sadness of
tone in his voice, and his eyes dropped
as if they were weary of the print upon
which they had been resting.
"Well, I reckon you won't mind eff
take a pull at it," said Dave. I'm dry
| as a powder-horn." He removed fiat
stone from the hollow of the stump
and took out his flask. "Here's lookin
| at you," and the neck of the bottle went
| into his mouth.
II suppose they made me the subject
of their talk, as usual" said Ronald
when Dave had replaced the flask under
the stone and sat on the stump, his legs
| crossed.
"Not any more'n common, Ron;
they've got to talk; talkin' comes as
