VICTIMS OF THE B0ER WAR.
American Horses Are the Principal suf-
ferers by the Prolongation
of the War.

Kansas Ciry, Mo-, Dec. 24.-Capt.
Heygate, of the British army, IS pur-
chasing $1,000 cavalry horses and
mules for the British army in South
Africa. lie came here more than a
year ago to buy horses and mules
for the British army, but he was or
dered home a short time ago because
it was thought that the Boer war was
over. But the unexpected renewal OF
hostilities has made the purchase of
more horses and mules absolutely
necessary.
As fast rs the animals are inspected
and bought they will be sent o New
Orleans and shipped to Cape Town,
Durham and New London in British
transports, some OF which are now on
their way to the United States.
One ship load of the animals will
be taken to South Africa by Lieut.,
David r. Moberly, leaving New Or
leans soon after January /. Lieut..
Moberly said;
by the time the horses and mules
are landed in South Africa they cost
the British government $3.50 a head.
THAT is large price for an animal
which will be fit for service only six
weeks. Most of the animals die be
cause of the change of climate. They
must cross the equator in going to
South Africa, and the torrid heat of

BoER MOVEMENTS CHECKED.
British Troops Surrounding the In
yaders with Special Column
Ready TO Strike where Needed.

London, Dec 24.-The war Office has
received the following dispatch from
Lord Kitchener, dated Pretoria, De-
cember 90.
"As far as possible for me to form
an opinion from the reports Of Off
GERS on the spot, ! think the Boer
movement into Cape Colony has been
checked.
'Of the two forces that entered the
colony, the eastern is still north of
the Zoutpansburg range, while the
one that entered west appears to have
been turned in the direction of Brits-
town and Prlcska.
"our troops are getting around
both bodies, and a special column is
also being organized which will be
dispatched Immediately when | know
where its services are most wanted.
"The Beers have not received much
assistance in Cape Colony, as far as
my information goes. We have armed
some of the colonists, who are assist
ing our forces. Railway and telegraph
communication has been much inter-
rupted by the very bad weather.
"De Wet is in the neighborhood of
Senekal. Gen. French, in conjunction
with Gen. Clements, attacked a force
under Beyers, south of the Magalies-
berg. The Beers broke away in a
southwesterly direction toward
Potchefstroom. and were followed by
Gen Gordon, with a column of
French's force.
yesterday evening about five
o'clock Clements force was engaged
south of Olipbant's Mex, but do not
yet know the result"
A later dispatch from Lord Kitchen
er. dated Pretoria, December 22, says:
"The western column of Beers oc-
cupied Britstown and cut the railway
south of De Aar junction. The enemy
is being followed up
"Gen. French has been in contact
for two days with the commandos of
Beyers and Delarey south of the
Magalesherg. He is pursuing them.
The enemy have lost considerably,
and Commandant Kreuz and Others
have been captured.
Gen. Col7.lle engaged two separate
commandos, December q, near Nlak-
foDtein, with slight losses, the enemy
retiring"

The good people of Natchez bestowed
great and deserved honors on Captain
Dcvereux Shields, on Tuesday night,

he and his company, the Goth United

Shields home was reached. The pro-
gram at the operahouse, which COM
mcnced at $3.50, included an address of
welcome by the secretary OF State, as
the representative of Gov. Longino;
an address by Mayor Benbrook, and an
address by Hon, James A. Clinton,
who, in behalf of the citizens, presented
CAPTAIN Shields magnificent sword
To the several addresses the captain
made appropriate response He stated
that he had simply tried to do duty as
4 soldier. The operahouse was packed,
and the immense audience very demon
strative throughout. A reception at
Institute hall followed.

The Old Capitol.

&C. II. A." makes a capital sugges-
ton in the Clarion Ledger as to the
disposition that should be made of the
old capitol:
The county of Kinds should procure the
site and erect on it courthouse commen-
surate with the needs, the wealth and the
dignity of the county. The first district Of
Kinds county contains more taxable prop
erty than is contained in any county of the
State with very few exceptions. Its pres
ent quarters for holding courts, and for
transactng the county's business, and for
keeping the county's records in jackson are
wholly inadequate. The records are not
even protected by "A vault or a iire-proof
building. BY all means the county ought
to build a courthouse in jackson, and no
site could be more appropriate than the
site of the present capitol. As for the stone
in the old capitol, that should be bought
by the city of Jackson, passed through a
rock crusher and placed ON the streets of
the city.
The city hall, in which the courts are
now held, is none too large for city
purposes, The suggestions of Mr.,
Alexander will be generally approved,
and it is hoped will in due time ma
teralize.
The Commercial Appeal having stated
that Bishop Gailor is native of Missis-
sippi, we gave it as our own impression,

that he was born in jackson, Septem-
Der II, 1856, the family removing to
Memphis in 1858, His father, Major
Frank NJ. Gailor, was killed at the

by you that in a volume in the library of

confederate generals killed during the

this Is a mistake. After the battle Of

advanced to within a short distance of
Chattanooga, entrenchng ourselves in the

top OF Missionary Ridge, directly in the
rear, but some distance from the position
occupied by Gracie's Alabama brigade, and
other portions of Bushrod Johnson's divi-
sion Gen. Polk established his corps head
quarters. 1t was there, while at his own
tent, that a shell thrown from Federal
battery, some ten miles or more away, on
the left of the Federal position, exploded,
killing Gen. Polk instantly. There was no
general engagement going on at the time,
and the shot that killed the general was
directed at his headquarters L. HALL
