Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1900-08-17

Gus Munich, who was one OF the
Philadelphia enumerators, is in the
tolls of the thirteen" superstition.
He was sworn in as census enumer-
ator on May 10, and finished his work
on June 10. His list included just
1913 names, and there were Ii dead
persons in as many houses when he
called. This combination of circum-
stances has preyed upon his mind UNI
til he admits having lost 10 pounds
since the day he began work as an
enumerator. Some one asked him the
other day if he wasn't afraid he would
die inside of a year. mo, I'm not
afraid of that" replied he. What
worries me is that may only get

BANQUET IN NEW QUARTERS
Jscksonian Club Issues Invitations
for Annual Feast In More
Commodious Rooms.

Despite their recent reverses, the dem
ocratic cohorts of the Jacksonian club got
together in goodly numbers Tuesday night
and decided to move into more convenient
and commodious quarters The clubs pres
ent rooms at 1918 Harney street were pro-
nounced out Of the beaten path Of democ-
racy and IL was finally decided to trek over
to and down Farnam street to No. 1917
where the second and third floors OF the
Maui block have been leased for the future
rendezvous of the Jacksonans.
Arrangements are we'll under way for the
tenth annual banquet OF the club, which
occurs on January g. An effort is being
made to bring the Sage Of Wolfert's Roost
to Omaha for this occasion, it being the
evident beiief of the Jacksonians that the
former New York senator is the real
prophet Of the democracy at this post
election date. If Senator Hill cannot be
induced to favor the club another New
Yorker, in the person OF Mayor James X.
Mcclure OF Syracuse, will be asked to ex-
plode the oratorcal pyrotcchnic5. Mayor
Mcclure, although but 80 years old, has
thrice been elected the chief executive Of
his city, he was chairman OF the state dem
ocrntic executive committee In the recent
campaign and enjoys an oratorical reputa-
tion that reaches far beyond the limits OF
Onondaga county. Among the lesser lights
booked for the Jacksonian feast are Gov
crnor Beckham of Kentucky and the un
limited J. Ham Lewis OF Washington.
Both of these gentlemen have already ac-
cepted invitations.

Chicago Ambulance Corps Experiences
Difficulty Leaving T-ourenzo Marques.
LONDON, April 12.-The correspond
emit of The Daily News at Lourenzo
Marques, telegraphing Wednesday,
says:
The departure of the Chicago am
bulance corps for Pretoria was delayed
on suspicion of flibustering. The men,
bers left by a special train during the
afternoon accompanied by a motley fol-
lowing of French and Germans, 100 in
all. The departure only occurred after
many stormy interviews with the Por-
tuguese authorities.
The members have NJ passports and
no credentials beyond a letter from Miss
Clara Barton to the effect that she
knows some of them personally and be-
ieves them to be genuine, but many
have openly expressed their intention of
fighting. The Beers are paying from
ESQ to e40 per month for such recruits.
Thirty-fve Thousand Beers, with 80
guns, are concentrated on the range of
hills between Kroonstad and Winburg.
The whole line is fortified and is almost
impreQnable,

wires to the wal Office from Bloemfon-

as follows:
1.-The enemy have. been very active
during. the past few days. One. COM
mando is nov on the north bank of the
Orange river, not far from Aliwal
North, while another is attacking
Wepener. The garrison there is hold
ing out bravely. and inflicted serious
loss on the Beers. Major Syringe of the
Cape Mounted Rifles was killed. No
other casualties have been reported as
yet.
1.-THE troops are being moved up rap.
idly. A patrol of six men of the Seventh
Dragon Guards, under Lieutenant
Wetherly, which had been reported
missing since April z, has returned
safely"
AS the foregoing dispatch does not
mention the alleged British. reverse on

Move as He Is Getting
Stores and Supplies.
Looks as Though He May Be.
Preparing to Clear Beers
From Behind Him.
GENERAL GA1AcRE's CASE
His Very Sudden Removal Is
the Subject of a Deal
Of Speculation.
Common Impression That 1t Is
Connected With the Red
dersburg Affair.

LONDON, April 12.-There is little
fresh Intelligence from the seat of war
in South Africa. It looks as though Lord
Roberts may be preparing to- take q
strong force to clear the Beers from be-
hind him. A Cape Town dispatch says he
will not move for another week owing
to the necessity of gathering stores and
supplies.
Sir William Gatacre' s sudden removal
is the theme of much speculation. The
curt manner in which it is announced
causes much comment. The general
impression is that it is connected with
the Reddersburg affair, although there
are many who consider that there must
be something much more serious as
other generals in South Africa have
been retained in command after blum
ders more formidable than General
Gatacre's. The wal Office has received
no news Of the death of Colonel Baden.
Powell and utterly discredits the ru-
NOR.
The operations in Natal have not yet
been fully explained. There appears to
have been an attempt to, outflank the
British at Elandslaagte and to separate
them from their base at Ladysmith.
