Cape Town, May ct is believed
here that on the arrival of the British
at the Vaal river. a proclamation was
issued anncXing the Orange Free State
to the Dominion Of the Queen and DEM
onstrating the determination of Her
Majesty's forces to assert British su-
premacy over the annexed territory.
The Boer losses at Brandfort are now
reported to have been much heavier
than was at first understood After
the battle British patrols visited the
farm houses in the surrounding dis
trict and all the men We're taken pris-
oners. while the horses and guns were
removed.
Lord Roberts is thus adopting
sterner policy with a view of prevent
ing guerilla fighting in the rear of the
British. Horses are now commander
ed and farm houses where guns are
found are destroyed. while the men are
arrested.

DYING IN A LOFT.

Once two hardy mouDtsineers fought
to the death for Mollie Pettigo's smile,
but now she lies dying in the loft OF a
barn in Glovet's alley, in Louisville,
alone and uncsred for. Her beauty lie
gone; time and poverty have robbed
her Of the charm that once was here.
Glover's alley Is Doisome place. No
white people live there. 1t is not safe
for passersby af.er uightfall There
are no lights, and the barn is tumble
down stl ucture where the visitor must
gTope his way. Above the horses and
cows lies Mollie Pettigo in room six
feet by four. The tin roof is but four feet
from the eoor. There are no windows.
Mollie Pettgo was born tbifty.fve
years ago in Clay county, KY. and be.
fore she wss eighteen men knew her as
the belle of the mountains. She had
wonderful head Of chestnut hair that
reached to her heels, greet blazing
brown eyes and a satiny skin of roses
and cream that was the envy of every
WON 10 In the county.
Two men wooed her, Howard Clay
and Jim Johnson. Clsy was big, er-
thusastic and rsw-boned. Johnson
was morose and sickiy. Mollie eu-
coursged Clay. Johnson was the butt
of everybody. He turned to revenge.
"Clay's q moonshiner," he said,
hunting up the revenue officers and
leading them to Clsy's still.
But the rival lover escaped 10 ths
darkness, aud the fued was op. O1e
morning Clay met johnson riding his
borse on The highway. Clay raised his
rife, fred and missed. Johnson rode
him down before be could load and fire
again. Then he made of, but the in-
jured man raised himself, fred one
more ehot aud fill over dead, and
Johnson:tumbled from his horse, mortal
ly wounded. So MolIie arlied snotb-
er, who died soon after, and she came
LOuisvil to make living But she could
find nothing to do, and she has come to
the barn to die because the rent of the
room is but 25 cents q month.

mothers never thought OF using any

used August Flower to clean out the

with show of rain in many sections. but
the actual rainfall will be short iu
