child becomes restless in sleep, picks
at its nose, grinds its teeth, has an ir-
regular appetite, is nervouly irritable
and has bad breath, it is victim OF
worms work. There is just one way
to treat worms-that is to kill them
Kickapoo Indian Worm Killer is the
one medicine that will kill them

nlent, and don't waste money on any
other medicine, for Kickapoo Indian
Worm Killer is the safest, surest

May 12.-The arrival of Lord Roberts was
hailed with enthusiasm by all the Brit

Staters We're anxious to surrender. The
bridge to the south had not been de-
stroyed, but the large bridge near the
town had been demolished The Irish
brigade with the Federals yesterday
burned the goods shed. According to the
townspeople many of them were drunk.
The noers are now trekking to the Vaal
river, where they are intrenching. Gen
eral French encamped northeast of the
town and dispatched a force to cut the
line. The project succeeded late at night,
but, unfortunately, after the departure
of the last train. Although the troops
had marched sixteen miles they were in
excellent form on entering the town
Many arrests have been made chiefly of
those who had maligned the British. 1t
was found that many persons have been
deported from Ladybrand for ultra sym
patty with the British.
President Steyn has gone to Lindley,

ment. a number of the burghers are

All the prisoners in the hands of the
British here agree that the quarrel be-
tween the Free Staters and the Trans
walters is so acute that the Transvaalers
have decided to leave their allies, whom
they accuse of cowardice and lack of pa

Most of the Transvaal prisoners think
| that If they are defeated at the Vaal river
| the Beers will retreat to Pretoria but
| there appears to be growing distrust i'm
the Transvaal Government. In word,
the backbone of the Boer resistance
seems to have been broken. The burg
hers are fighting without their previous
stubbornness. They seem ready to re-
treat on the slightest pretext
The prisoners, even the Transvaalers,
appear glad to have been captured They
say they are sick of a war which can

success is impossible. President Krue-
ger is obstinate, and majority. of the
Transvaalers hold firmly with him
1t is estimated that the Transva 9lers
can still muster $1,000 men on the fight
ing line.
General Buffers advance, as his tele-
grams indicate, was by the Instructions
of Lord Roberts, and it VIII cease or go
forward as Lord Roberts directs. 1t is
said that General Buffers orders TO keep
the Beers employed have been supple
mented by order to drive them COM
pletely out of Natal and then move on
Harrismith. General Rundle and Gener-
al Brabant are taking possession of the
wide regions around Ladybrand almost
without opposition. They find the coun-
try plentifully supplied with cattle, horse
feed and flour. General Rumble is reduc-
ing his transport and feeding his men
and animals largely off the country. The
Beers in that quarter surrender daily,
and 1T is the expectation of the CORE
spondents on the spot that the eastern
section of the Free State will soon be as
tranquil as the western. General Run
dies front Is thirty miles long, but his
forces are disposed so that if any point
should be attacked the troops there could
be quickly REINFORCED.
Lord Roberts contributes line to the
discussion going on in the press to
when the war Will end by the following
telegram, dated Monday, and sent
through a correspondent who had made
the direct inquiry: Il regret that l can
not give any reply to your question, as
II is impossible at present to predict
when the campaign will end"
The view of the other side Is reported

Steyn said: Sooner than leave this
country to fall into the hands of the

The relations between the Transyaal
and Portugal appear to be strained. The
Portuguese Consul at Pretoria according
to reports from Lisbon, has been ordered
by President Kruger to leave the Coun-
try. The Portuguese declaration making
food and clothing contraband has nearly
destroyed the usefulness Of DelaSoa Bay
to the Transvaal.
Senior Joaquin Machado, Governor
General of Portuguese East Africa, is be-
ing entertained at Beira and the British
officers who are passing through are
showing him courtesieS. The Lisbon
Cabinet is understood to count on Brit
ish protection in the event of Boer ag-
gression.
