RECEIVED BY KRUGER.
Boer Leader Acknowledges Message
From American SchOOIboys.

Philadelphia, June 2.-The North
American has received the following
cable message:
"Pretoria, May Bly, stress of dire cir
cumstances the message from the school
boys of Philadelphia to President Kruger,
delivered this day, has the tone of SYM
pathy and sorrow at the final misfortune
which is about to wipe the South African
Republic from the roll of independent ma
tions, rather than of encouragement to a
people fighting for liberty-for the fight
has been fought, and lost.
1.-THE message was delivered In the ex-
ecutive chamber at the capitol, through the
windows of which came the rumble of OK
carts and general confusion attendant upon
the evacuation of the city by the families
of the Beers. The British are reported to
be approaching.
There was an impressive silence In the
chamber as the stern and venerable presi-
dent of this doomed republic bent forward
to receive from Messenger Jules Francis
Smith the packet which the boy had trav-
eled Il. 900 miles to deliver into his hands.
"'Caesar, morituri tie salutamus, quoted
Secretary of State Reitz, as the president
accepted the message. Then he added a
bitter epigram:
Ion this occasion the message is re-
versed. Caesar greets those about to die
This reference to the United States and
the message or sympathy from America
to the president of dying sister republic
profoundly moved everyone present
Tears glistened in the presidents eyes as
he took the packet from the messengers
hands
I'm presenting the message Smith made
manly little speech, informing President
Kruger of the nature of his mission as
courier of the schoolboys of Philadelphia
Secretary of State Reitz translated Smiths
simple sentences as they were spoken.
"Then the book from the North Amer
lean containing the narrative of the move
ment that eliminated IN the dispatch of
the messenger and the newspaper clippings
expressive of the sympathy of the people
of the United States with the Boer cause
were presented.
president Kruger's reply was grave and
courteous. He rendered hearty thanks to
the American people, and particularly to
the liberty lads of Philadelphia, for their
sympathy, and charged Smith to return
his greetings to the good people of Amer
lea. Then with fatherly kindness he shook
hands with Smith, congratulating him
upon completing his long journey in safety
and expressing the hope that he would
have an equally safe return to his distant
home. The entire group was then photo
graphed.'

THE TAYLOR CASE.
Gov. Beclxham Has Not Made Requisi-
ton Yet-Taylor May Not Go
to Philadelphia.

Frankfort, KY, June 2.--Gov. Beck
ham has as yet made no requisition
on Gov. Mount, of Indiana, for the@ex.
tradition of former Gov. w. S. Taylor,
under the warrant recently issued in
connection with the Goebel assassina-
ton. Acting Sheriff Suter has moth
ing yet to serve. Commonwealth At
torney Franklin said every effort
would be made to have the Taylor
warrant executed according to the or
der of the court soon. Taylor's friends
say that he has no fear of extradition
in passing through Ohio, West Vir-
ginia and Pennsylvania for the Phila-
delphia convention, but they think it
best for him not to go east, although
they were anxious for him to present
the name of former Gov. Bradley for
the nomination for vice president.
The Kentucky delegation expected to
create quite demonstration when
Taylor took the platform to present
Bradley's name at Philadelphia, but
that programme will now likely be
changed

The Iowa Central Bridge at Ed
dyville Tied Up.


Eddyville Tribune: Sheriff John
Doner, ofMonroe county, and Deputy
Sheriff Homer Fry, of Mahaska coun-
ty, were here this morning and
served attachment papers upon the
property of Payne, Bradshaw, Nc
Mahan & Co., the contractors con-
structing the piers Of the new Iowa
Central bridge, and work on the
structure is at stand still.
The action was brought by Man
ming & Epperson and JAS. Mooney,
to secure their claims amounting to
over 81 600. The account Of Manning
& Epperson amounting to s72s.s9 is
for time checks cashed and mer-
ehandise furnished the employees of
the company upon orders. The great
err part of the amount being for March
and April pay. The account of Jas.
Mooney, amounting to $3.50, is for
coal furnished and used in the con-
struction of the piers. Papers were
also served upon the Iowa Central
Ry Co., garnisheeing any moneys
that may be due the contractors.
For some time the business trans
actions of the contractors has been
very unsatisfactory to our merchants,
who have honored the contractors
orders and time checks, and Satur-
day last a mortgage was placed on
record in Monroe county, covering
the machinery Of the contractors, in
favor of Joseph Council. 1t is
probable that their affairs will be
tied up by litigation for some time to
come.

| think the possibilities of becoming
our American youth as goal of our
American life the acme of our am
bition.
The presidency is certainly a worthy
ambition, but is it attainable. We
have rs million people in this coun-
try and but one president. True,
Lincoln, through sheer force of merit
and worth, it would seem, became
president, but Clay and Webster and
Greeley and Blaine and Sherman and
host of intellectual giants, spent a
lifetime in pursuing the tickle god
dess and gave up public life sad
dened, disappointed. And Bryan gets
another chance.
By many the possessions of great
wealth is looked upon as the surest
indication of success and while that
is more easily attaipable than the
presidency, it is not so worthy an
ambition, and the dangers that beset
ones pathway are many. The jour
ney is long and toilsome and the de-
mands for short cuts irresistible.
Many think with the poet, Though
success will not attend on all, who
bravely dares must sometimes risk a
fall, y and all sorts of wild specula-
ton are INDUCED in, board of trade
ventures, impossible schemes, em-
bezzlement, forgery-short cuts that
not frequently lead to the peniten-
tiary.
But while this mad race for wealth
is to be deplored, yet it is mark of
good Judgment and success in life to
provide good home and home COM
