Beers ARE AGGRESSIVE.
TWO Columns Now Raiding in Cape
Colony.

Capetown, Dec. 23-The beers who
have invaded Cape Colony are COM
manded by Gems. Hertzog, Phillip
Botha and HaasDrock. Besides the
commands already reported, a force
has crossed at Zoutspan, to reinforce
the beers occupying Philippistown.
Since Kitchener's dispatch of Wednes
day last reporting the crossing of
Orange river into Cape Colony by
two bands of beers nothing official
concerning events has reached the
public. Reports are that the railway
has been torn up in three places north
of De Aar. A column of five hundred
of all arms, under the command of Ma
jor Shute, left Colesberg Dec. IS to re-
lieve post of yeoman who were in.
vested on farm at Hamelfontein.
A Standard dispatch says a sharp
encounter took place with two parties
of beers near Kalkspruit, ten miles
south of the railway. One boer party
numbered 300. Both were routed after
obstinate resistance. 1t is supposed
they lost severely. In the Nooitge-
dacht battle, the British casualties of
on-commissioned officers and men
show so have been killed and 1852
wounded.

WANT MORE OF IT
ELECTION PLAN LIKELY TO BE
EXTENDED IN MINNESOTA.
APPLIES ONLY TO CITIES
w. .. Washburn, Jr., Pushing the
Matter-SeveraI Changes Suggest
ed Along the Line of Distinct Party
Votes-Opposition Hinted at-Coi-
cred Tickets Proposed.

Minneapolis, Dec. 23.-W. D. Wash
burn, Jr., son of the ex-senator and
member of the Hennepin legislative
delegation, will endeavOr to have the
famous primary election law amended
so that it's essential principles will ap-
ply to primary elections throughout
the state as we'll as in the cities. Mr..
Washburn is deeply interested in the
experimental measure which brought
such sorrow to the souls of politicians
in Hennepin county last fall, and he
will support the principle Of the law
to the last ditch. If any man assalls
it he will find an able antagonist in
Representative Washburn.
Mr.. Washburn has familiarzed him
self with the primary election laws
of other states, and he hopes to frame
q law, with the assistance Of his col
| leagues, that will meet all the objec-
lions of those who oppose the present
| law. Although he has not yet pre-
pared his measure, he will do SO early
| in the session. He thinks there are
three ways in which the law can be
altered to make it more popular.
One is to hold the primary elections
the same as now but on different days
for each party, a scheme which is
generally objected to because of the
tremendous expense involved. Another
way is to have the election for all
parties held on the same day, but re.
quiring voters to be at the polls at
certain hours for democratic voters
and other hours for republican voters
The most satisfactory plan, however
in Mr.. Washburn's opinion, would be
to have colored tickets, one color foI
republicans and another for demo
Gratis, the voters to be subject to chal
lenge as at the old time caucus. be
fore the new primary law was enact
ed. The challenge feature, Mr.. Wash.
burn thinks, would prevent men OF
either party from playing double III
the matter Of picking out candidates.
However, these are chiefly sugges
tions, and a better plan may be hit
serious debate. Il do not think any
man will ask for the repeal of the
law! said Mr.. Washburn yesterday
but if he does, there will be several Of
us on his back The law has it's goot
and bad points, but the fact must moi
be lost sight of that a great princi
pie is involved in it. That principle
is the peoples recognition Of theil
right to say who shall be nominated
for election. This right was given tt
the people and cannot easily be taker
|, away. I expect to go into the matter
very thoroughly and, if possible, vii
frame a bill that will apply to the

CUDAHY OFFERS
A BIG REWARD

HENSON OF kIDNAPPERs.
BOY SAYS THERE WERE SIX
All Wore Masks and Cannot be lden-
titled BY the Lad-Had Planned to
Capture One of the MiIIionaire's
Daughters-A Second Letter Makes
Wicked Threats.

, Omaha, Dec. 21.-Late last night
millionaire Cudahy announced that
he would pay $4,000 reward for the
apprehension of the abductors of his
SON. He offers $4,000 for one and
$4,000 for two of them.
Young Cudahy says there were six
! men, but all wore masks whenever
they were in his presence, and that
the only one he would attempt to
identify was the one who kept guard
over him during his incarceration in
the lonely building in which he was
held.
The second letter sent Cudahy by
the bandits read in part: eve kid
mapped your child and demand $4,000
for his safe return. If you give US
the money the child will be returned
safe, but if you refuse we will put
acid in his eyes and blind him. Then
we will Immediately kidnap another
nillionaire's child we have spotted
and demand 100000 and get it, for
he will see the condition of your child
and realize the fact that we mean bus
mess. Get the money all in gold
five, ten and twenty dollar pieces; put
1t in white wheat sack, get in a
buggy alone at Z o'clock on the night
ct Dec. 10 and follow the road towards
Fremont. When you come to a Ian
tern lighted by the side of the road
place the money by the lantern, i'm
mediately turn the horse around and
return home. You must place a red |
lantern on the buggy so we can know
you mile away. This letter must be |
returned with the money and any at |
tempt at capture will be the saddest |
thing you have ever done.
'Cudahy, you are up against it and
there is only one way out: Give up
coin. If you don't the next man will,
tor ne will see that we mean business
when you can lead your boy around

Joint Expression of Powers to be
Handed to China Soon.
Pekin, Dec. 23.-The last obstacle
having been removed, the joint note
was signed yesterday by all the for
eign ministers, including the envoy
from the Netherlands who arrived only
recently. The note will be delivered
to Ii Hung Chang, Prince Ching and
the Chinese plenipotentiaries as soon
as the former shall have sufficiently
recovered from his indispositio1nl,
Chang still prefer to believe, despite
the signing of the note, which they did
not believe would take place, that the
principal negotiations must be carried
on in either Europe or America. They
resent the British modification of the
note, for, they say, some power or
powers might not be satisfied until the
indemnity had been paid in full which
would mean the occupation of Pekin
for an indefinite time, as it cannot be
expected that China can raise what
will be equired-possibly 100000, 900
taels-at once. AS a matter of fact it
will take several years. Ii Hung
Changs condition is reported to be so
much improved that he is able to be
out of bed for short time.

ments which have been Investigating

OUSTED BY TEDDY
NEW YORK GOVERNOR REMOVES
OFFICIAL FROM OFFICE.
FOR SUSTAINING ANOTHER
Col. Gardner, District Attorney of New
York County, Removed On Charge
of Publicly Defending Chief of Po-
lice of Metropolis In Scandalous
Proceeding.

Albany, Dec. Ex-Governor Roose
welt announced last night he had re
moved from Office Col. Asa Bird Gard
ner, district attorney of New York
county, on the charges preferred by
Deputy Attorney J. H. Hammond and
had appointed Eugene J.. Philloin tC
fill the vacancy.
In lengthy memorandum the gov
ernor sets forth the reasons for re-
moving Col Gardner. He says:
'The charge vitality affecting the con
duct of the district attorney is that
which relates to his attitude at and
about election toward the indictment
of Chief of Police Devery after the lat
ter had issued a scandalously improp-
err and seditious order to the police
force under him."
Roosevelt relates the details re-
garding the order issued by Devery to
the police force which brought forth
vigorous action at the time by the
governor, resulting in the order hav-
ing been rescinded by the chief.
Roosevelt continues: alone among
other city officials charged with the
solemn duty of enforcing the laws, the
district attorney on whom rested the
heaviest responsibility of enforce
ment of the law, gave by public
utterance, aid and comfort to the
chief of police. There is fiat conflict
of veracity between the district attor-
ney and his accusers on this point. In
newspapers of the day following, those
containing the publication of the chief
of policies order, there appeared in
teTviews with the district attorney in
which he attacked the grand jury and
justified the action of the chief of
police. To give out such interviews
was Of course to give active encour-
agement to every element which was
enlisted upon the side of fraud or vi
olence"
The district attorney denies he gave
them out. Two witnesses have testi-
which were substantially the same. 1t
is incredible he could be ignorant of
the effect that might be produced by
such a public statement from that
county official whose special duty it
should be to see to the observance of
aw in the county. Had the other Of
icials concerned assumed or pre-
served similar attitude, the very
consequences might have en-
sued, and the district attorney cannot
De allowed to profit by the fact that |
he action Of others prevented the evil |
of his own acts.''

Lincoln of Chicago and granddaughter
of President Lincoln, who in 1897 mar
ried Warren BeckWith, baseball and
football player at Iowa Wesleyan uni
versity, has been divorced from her
husband The fact that Mrs. Beck
with has obtained a divorce came to
Chicagoans through the medium of a
telegram from Mount Pleasant, Iowa,
| ,rrI, oh . s''e+ ct l.--~ @saIenenC
| to the effect was made there before
the probate court in the hearing of the
case Of James G. Whitford VS.. Mrs.
Robert T. Lincoln. Mrs. Lincoln was
wanted as witness and when she
was called the fact was brought out
that she was in New York caring for
her daughter and granddaughter, the
latter having scarlet fever and the
whole family being quarantined. At
the time Miss Lincoln met Beckwith
he was playing on the Iowa Wesleyan
football eleven. She was then visiting
her grandfather, Senator Harlan, and
it is said asked for an introduction
Mr.. Lincoln tried to break up the
courtship, but in vain. and it culmi
mated in an elopement A quarrel soon
followed and the daughter returned
home. Beckwith later enlisted as
private with company F, Fiftieth Iowa
volunteers, and was sent to Jackson
vilel, Fla. In the meantime Mrs.
Beckwith had applied for a divorce
and it was granted on the grounds of
desertion and nonsupport. Beckwith
is now brakeman on the Burlington
road and lives at Creston, Iowa.
