Details Of Surrender.
Further details of the dramatic sur
render of General Cronje at Paarde-
berg are eagerly awaited. The Boer
commanders forces are v~ariously esti-
mated at 1000 to 5000. Speculation is
rife as to how soon Lord Roberts will
be able to press on to Bloemfontein,
but before he enters the capital OF the
Free State he will undoubtedly have to
overcome a powerful force and take
strong entertainments.
The news of General Cronje's sur
render was received with unbounded
satisfaction at Windsor. The queen
Immediately tclcgraphed her congratu-
lations to Lord Roberts and the troops.
There was a much more outward dis
play of rejoicing in the provinces than
in London. The Glasgow and Liver
pool stock exchanges were greatly ex-
cited. The members san God saw

Little Iobs." Flags were literally
displayed on the municipal and public

COIL MURDER CASE CALLED
Trial Of Slayer of Tom Ryan Begins at
Ghadron, Neb.

The trial of the George Coil murder
case has commenced at Chadron, Neb.,
and is progressing without a hitch.
The story the widow of the dead Tom
Ryan told in evidence was tinged with
pathos. She told of his slayer coming
to her house and telling her that he
had killed her husband, and told her
where his body was, but refused to
help her summon aid. She took her
three small children and went to the
scene, and left two. aged three and
five years. to guard off range cattle,
while she took her baby in her arms
and went two miles for help. Young
Coil is boyish looking, though past his
majority. Before the commencement
of the trial he asked the privilege of
visiting the drug store to buy some
p~erfumery for his hair and breath.

Then once more he looked at her,
and again his strange look troubled
her; and as she stood and watched the
goodly figure in its shining armor
down the streets OF Mizpeh, a wonder
got hold upon her that for the first
time at the thought of battle her fears
were not wholly for her father.
Long time she knelt and prayed. her

struggle was to recover the lost feeling
that her father was her all in all. but
another image rose up, over and over

half aloud:

Before the close OF day. the streets
OF Mizpeh rang to the gladdening
sound OF the victorious return of troops
from battle. Namarah, high up in her
chamber, watched them with breath
less delight, as she saw the body OF
soldiers coming down the street. and
soon she was able to make out the
majestic figure of her father, at their
head. She was full sure of that. but
still, she bent from her window eager

Suddenly. her breath was drawn in
pantingly, and nee more the rose was
on her cheek. Behind her father she
had recognized the tall figure Of Adina,
