republic in the late civil war, as ii
now seeks the destruction of the
the Dutch republic of South Africa.
AS long as the liberty loving people
of these United States remember the
cruelty, the barbarity of the British
ministry she will have no sympathisers
IN this country among men who love
liberty and prize the blessing of free
government, for not only themselves
but for mankind. In all her history
Great Britain produced but one Will
liam Pitt, while Ireland had its EN-
met, its Burke, its Grattan, its Cur
ran, its OConnell, besides thousands
of liberty loving men whose lives were
freely given for American independ-
ence, and whose bones whitened every
battle field of this republic from Lex
ington to the present day.
The truthful pages of history pro-
claim this truth; that that the Bri fish
ministry never lacks pretext for
war with any weak nation or power
that possesses or controls anything of
value in lands, timber or minerals that
is coveted by its millionaire money
lenders, who are always ready to eN-
plot any such people or power. 1t is
ever ready to annihilate any such
power and cnslave its people for all
time to pay the cost of their subiuga-
ton, and for the maintenance of the
soldiers needed for the perpetuation
of their bondage.
The brutality of the British min
istry is only equaled by its cowardice.
When the brutal Turks were making
an indiscriminate slaughter of the
Greek Armeuians the British ministry
with folded arms in silence beheld the
fearful Slaughter lest a move to arrest
it and save the doomed victims might
disturbthe political equilibrium of the
powers of Europe. Such is the moral
character of this boosted Christian
court, the admiration of divines and
demagogues.
The cause of the war in South Africa
is the discovery of its untold wealth
in glod and diamonds: the protect the
usual false and hypocritical claim of
the British ministry, the interest of
Christianity, civilization and human
liberty. When England is in possess
ion of the wealth of gold and diamonds
that abound in that country, it will
have accomplished its mission in be-
half of human liberty, civilization and
Christianity. This has been it's his
tory and it can no more change than
the leopard can change its spots.
The Anglo-American alliance con-
templated and sought it'll the British
ministry by President Mckinley and
Secretary Hay will be "a covenantwith
death and an agreement with he'll"
that should not be contaminated, and
is sought by that country as the death |
knellofthe immortal truths proclaimed |
in the declaration of American inde-
pendence.

Sad Death of a Womnn.

Mrs. Mary S. Darlington, of Cherokee,
who was found in demented condi-
ton in the Illinois Central depot in
Fort Dodge, died without regaining
consciousness. Her death is partic-
ularly sad one, as she was the mother
of several children and left her home
in Cherokee healthy and happy to visit
her old home in Wisconsin. The first
the family knew of her trouble was
when they were notified by the Fort
Dodge police.

HOW A PLANT FEEDS.

1t is more than two thousand years
since philosophers began to speculate
about the food of plants and what we
| may term their digestive" processes.
but it is only during the latter half Of
this century that really clear and def
mite notions concerning the food sup
plies of the vegetable world have been
generally accepted by scientific men. As
far as is known, the first botanical ex-
pertinent ever performed was conducted
by Van Helmont. He placed in pot
two hundred pounds of dried earth and
in it he planted willow branch which
weighed FIVE pounds He kept the whole
covered up and daily watered the earth
with rain water After five years
growth the willow was taken up and
again weighed, and was found to have
gained 1854 pounds; the earth in the pot
was dried and weighed, and had lost
only two ounces.
knowledge was not yet sufficiently
advanced to enable Van Helmont to in
terpret these striking results correctly,
and he came to the erroneous conclusion
that the increased weight of the plant
was due to the water which had been
supplied to the roots. He therefore look
ed upon this experiment as supporting
the theory which he had advanced, viz.
that plants required no food, but water.
Stephen Hales advanced the subject a
great step by indicating that much of
the increase in weight Of plants was de-
rived from carbon dloxide in the air.
Vegetable cells contain LIQUID known
as 'cell sap" which is water holding in
solution various materials which have
been taken up from without by the roots
and leaves. These materials are thus
brought in contact with the protoplasm,
which causes them to undergo changes
in composition which prepare them to
be added to the substance of the plant
Thus it is in the protoplaem of the liv-
ing cells of the plant that those "di-
gestive" processes are carried on which
Aristotle believed to occur in the soil |
We see, then, that the living cells are
laboratories in which the
digestion of the food of the plant is |
carried on,--Knowledge.

A soRTIE FROM MAFEKING.

The Disastrous Ending of Desperate
Enterprise.
letter from a London Times cores
pondent describes the sortie of the
Mafeking garrison on December 26. 1t
will be remembered that Baden Powell's
men endeavored to capture a particu-
larly annoying fort about two miles
miles from the town, After relating the
start of the sortie the correspondent
continues:
For a moment it seemed as though the
face opposed to the rush of Captain
Vernon and Captain Sanford was a
mere wall requiring only to be scaled
for the fort to be captured. But when
the men approached within three hun
bred yards of the fort rifles rang out
from every possible point, and the
ground was swept by Mauser and Mar
tint bullets. Captain Sanford was the
first to fall mortally wounded with the
bullet in his spine. He fell down, call
ing to his men to continue the charge;
but where he had fallen he died. Our
men now began to drop rather rapidly.
and Captain FitzClarence was disabled
WITH IL DuIlGl III lIle llhlSll, Ills place
was taken by Lieutepant Swinburne,
who at once continued the charge, that
officer and Lieutenant Bridges of the
same squadron being among the nine
who, upon the termination of the fight,
We're unwounded. The ground around
the fort was becoming dotted with the
figures of our wounded men, who, al
though they were but an irregular SOL
diery, followed their officers with the
pluck and logged determination of vet
Grams.
The brunt of the fight now fell upon
the companies under the immediate
of Captain Vernon, who, I'M
daunted by the impossibility of his task.
fought his way forward AS
they approached still nearer his men,
by the shower of bullets
which fell about them, cheered repeat
eddy, the echo of those cheers giving
rise to the impression that the capture
Of the position was imminent. The
steady rush of our men, indef1ected by
the worst that the enemy could do. was
rapidly demoralizing those who were
