Lord Roberts. No word has come
from Bloemfontein, although sharp
fighting is believed to have occurred
since the commander-in-chief was last
heard of. London confidently expects
the occupation Of the Orange Free
State capital will occur very soon.
In the meanwhile, attention turns to
Mafeking. That hamlet of the plains
can scarcely hold out much logger.
The news of Colonel plumers ap-
proach has given substance to the ru
mors of its relief. but those best in
formed are inclined to think the re-
lief is more likely to become accom-
from Kimberley.
Private advices have set forth that
Colonel Plumer had almost given up
hope Of accomplishing anything more
than harassing the Beers. though since
these were written, it Is possible that
the diminished numbers OF the invest.
ing force may have rendered Plumer's
! task more feasible.

TOO MUCH HARD STUDY.
Probably Responsible for the Disappear
ance of Young Woman.

Owosso, Mich, March 13.-Miss Lu-
cy Pease, the 19-year-old daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. U. j. Pease, of North
Dewey street, has been missing from
her home since Friday afternoon, and
not trace of her can be found. 1t
is believed she is insane. In fact, ii
Is known that she is occasionally visit
ed with attacks of slight dementia,
but the parents have never done any
thing in the matter for fear that the
girl would grow worse if she knew
she was so troubled.
The young lady is an ambitious stu
dent in school, and it is believed her
arrangement is due to overwork last
year. The last that has been seen of
her was early Friday afternoon, when
she visited her sister-in-law and asked
to have her hair cut as she was going
to put on mans clothes and start out
for Arkansas.

Ishpeming, Mich, March 14.-Much
satisfaction exists among underground
employees of the Lake Superior mine,
controlled by the Carnegie interests,
over an increase of working hours from

Wages were raised an average of 10
per cent, but the miners claim that
this does not pay for % per cent. In

Barrenness proceeds from some derange-
ment of the distinctly feminine organs.
Many of the common ailments known as
"female troubles" cause it. DIR. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription overcomes barren
ness by stamping out diseases of women,
and by healing and curing liberation. 1t
tones mp the system, stops drains, and
restores strength. During CESSATION it
modifes morning sickness, gives elastic
ity to the overstrained parts concerned,
makes the hour of baby's coming short
and almost painless, and gives wonderful
recuperative power to the patient. BY
making the mother strong and cheerful,
it makes the little one healthy, vigorous
and good natured. Insist upon the med
icine dealer giving you DIR. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription when you ask for it.
Substitutes are often dangerous.

Detroit, March 14.-Milo d. Camp
bell has formally announced his can
didacy for the Republican guberna-
torial nomination, and issued his plat
form Of principles. He stands square
~ upon the taxation plank Of the '9S'
party platform, railways and all prop
erty to be uniformly taxed upon values.
He stands for the submission to the
at the April election in 1901, which
will permit the enactment Of the At
kinsOn railroad taxation law by the
following legislature; for the repeal of
the special railroad charters; for the
election Of United States senators by
direct vote Of the people.
Will Fight Hard for Wayne.
For months Candidate Campbell has
been considering this step. His candi-
dacy has been formally announced
only after repeated political confer
ences in Detroit with the governor
and the governors friends. He will
now enter actively into the campaign
and his friends expect to make a seri-
Gus onslaught upon Wayne county.
State Tax Commissioner Robert Oak
man declares that every possible eff
fort will be made to capture Wayne
for Campbell. 1t is believed that he
will become the official Pingree can
didate.
Pingree to support Campbell.
This is borne out by the fact that at
the time of the Michigan club banquet
Commissioners Oakman stated that
Governor Pingree had been urging
Campbell to make the run, and pro-
pheSied that the governors support
would eventually find its way to Camp
bell, and Candidate Campbell, him
self, has publicly announced that he
would gladly welcome the Pingree sup
port, something no other candidate so
far has asked. One candidate, j. ).
Stearns, has even gone so far as to
rcpudiate the governors support, and
publicly declared that it was not want
ed. At the same time Candidate Camp
bell takes occasion in his announced
platform to distinctly declare his OPP
position to any ism and to any fric-
ton with the federal wing of the party.
