Beers. There was practically no ngh''
inn and there are no further details to

"The Union Jack was hoisted in the
market place by Mrs. Lockhead, the
American wife Of a Scotchman. Most
of the horses of the Beers are in a
wretched condition, but President
Kruger declares he will continue the
war;"

10. 900. with 20 guns, treked from
kroonstad on the approach OF Lord Roo,

stand at Boschland, and had elaborate
entertainments in front Of kroonstad'
which offered great facilities for a rear

however, appears to have been to get

The use of $500 gallons Of oxygen In

increasing mortality from this disease.
That doctors are less successful in
coping with this disease than with al
most any other ailment. save cancer
and consumption. Is evidenced by
abundant statistics. During the seven
days Of recent week there were lou
deaths from pneumonia In Chicago,
while in other cities the mortality from

clear, even to the laymen. that medi-
cine will not reach the intlnmed lung
tissue and that pouring medicine into
the stomach Of n pneumonia patient
simply impairs vitality and retards the
recuperative efforts Of nature. Pure,
life-giving oxygen is wanted, not drugs.
Aside from the mild medication neces.

Colorado All Right.

Ex-Represcntatlve James BelfOrd Of
Colorado, who, while in Congress was
familiarity known as THE Read-Head-
ed Roarer of the Rockies" announced
today his return to the republican par
ty, which he left in 1894 to join the
democrats on the silver
issue. MIR. Belford gives good many
reasons for his change of heart in
his most characteristic language. In
short, he considers silver dead issue
and does not believe in placing Il
corpse upon political platform. The
socialstic tendencies of Mr.. Bryan and
the present leaders of the demo-
cratic party are alarming to every per-
son who has anything at stake, and
property owners throughout the coun-
try will never trust men of such ideas
to run the government. After six
years of experience in the democratic
party Mr.. Belford has discovered that
it cannot be trusted, and he says that
most of the republicans in Colorado
who left the party when he did feel
the same and are coming back to their
old allegiance. He predicts that the
republicans will carry Colorado at the

Only a Rose Leaf.

We clip the following extract from
the Billing (Montana) Times of May II.
The deceased was the grand daughter
of Dr. and Mrs. Hungerford of this
place:
"The death of little Madse Hunger
ford at the home of her parents, Mr..
and Mrs. E. NJ. Hungerford, in this
city at 3 o'clock Monday morning,
caused a pang of universal grief to po-
sess every resident Of Billings on learn
ing the fact later in the day. Almost
every citizen of the city knew and
loved this precious little Christian girl
because it was here she had lived from
infancy, and the whole town mourns
with her grief stricken parents and
little brothers over her taking away,
over her removal from earth to heaven.
She was only a rose leaf, just budding
into beautiful childhood, having reach
ed her eleventh birthday last Febru-
ary, and it seems heavy cross to bear
whe n little innocent child like Madge
is taken while others less beloved are
left and permitted to pursue the sinful
ways of the world. If there is a heaven,
and we know there is, she is there to-
day. because her cartly life was cOnse-
Grated to doing the Lords will. She
was taken sick one week ago today,
and at the hour stated above her pure
little spirit bid farewell to earth while
her father was holding his only baby
girl & .ose to his breaking heart, tonsll-
tits being the cause. She was buried
at four o'clock Monday afternoon, Rev.
Clark officiating"

high quarters, and corruption broad
and large. Some OF the administra-
tion senators shought, although they
did not publicly say so, in view of the
scandal over the recently discovered
official peculation in Cuba, that Mr..
Hale might have found more propit-
iOus time to express the opinion that it
was an impossibility to govern colo
nies without peculation and other cor
rupt practices. Senator Hale, WHO has
never been on very cordial terms with
the administration since his opposition
to the war with Spain, merely took a
roundabout way of expressing his oppo-
sition to the administration policy, in
stead of following the example Of Sen
ator Hoar and doing so openly.
The Boer ENJOYS stand in need Of
some advice. Their chance of accom-
plishing anything is slim enough at
best, but one need not be a prophet to
say that they will have no chance at
all with the administration if they are
to allow themselves to be used by the
partisan political opponents of the ad-
ministration to make political capital
against that administration. 1t is
human nature, Of course, for them to
welcome expressions of sympathy from
any source, but some influential friend
should inform them that their only
possible chance for beneftting the two
South African republics by their Wis
it to this country lies in arousing the
interest Of the president aad his i'd
ministration, and the more hobnob-
bing they do with the opponents of
the administration the more certain
their failure. Even if their cause was
taken up by the opponents of the ad
ministration and made campaign is
sue that would carry the presidential
election, it would do their countries no
good, as it would be next March before
the new administration could do any
thing, and long before that time, if
there is no outside Interference, the
two South Africen republics will be
British territory. The mistakes the
ENJOYS are making are doubtless en-
tirely due to their ignorance Of condi-
tions in this country, but they are none
the less fatal to their hopes.
