The Best Prescription Is Groves
Tasteless Chill Tonic.
The Formula Is Plainly Printed on Every Bottle
So That the People May Know just
What They Are Taking.

Imitators do not advertise their formula
knowing that you would not buy their medi-
cine if you knew what it contained. Groves
contains Iron and Quinine put up in correct
proportions and is in Tastelcss form. The
Iron acts as tonic while the Quinine drives
the malaria out Of the system. Any reliable
druggist will tell you that Groves is the
Original and that all other so-called "Taste-
less" chill tonics are limitations. An analysis
of other chill tonics shows that Groves is
superior to all others in every respect You are
not experimenting when you take Groves-its
superiority and excellence having long been
established. Groves is the only Chill Cure sold
throughout the entire malarial sections of the
United States. No Cure, No Pay. Price, 500

little was TO he gained by fighting Hill now.
There are no nominations TO he made, no patron

life and wasteful destruction Of property. This
theory, while plausible cannot be proved, since
neither President Krtiger nor Lord Roberts VIII

or that the closing scenes of the war have been
prearranged in any sense. The safer generaliza-
ton is that the Beers have fought gallantly

have been finally overwhelmed by superior num-

Our heavy guns of the Naval and Royal Ar

front part of the column, were hurried to the
assistance of the mounted infantry fast as
oxen and mules could travel over the great roll

supported by Stevensons brigade of Pole

the enemy from their positions.
The Beers then attempted to turn left

Two other interesting circumstances shown
by the list that Carroll and the Van Wycks
generally acquired blocks of stock on the same
day and that many thousands of the shares
stand in the name Of Robert A. Scott as trus-
tee. Scott is the secretary of the Ice Trust.
MR.. GUGGENHEIMER'S DENIAL.
Randolph Guggenheimer. president Of the
Municipal Council, yesterday repeated his dec
laraton that he never owned more than one
share of the Ice Trust stock. He said that the
two hundred shares of the stock appearing in
his name the books were purchased by him
for others May Is 1899 and he did not re-
member that they stood in his name. The
stock, he said, was bought for $4,000, and it
sold October 90 1899 through August
Belmont & Co. for S11.12O 90 Mr. Guggen-
heimer declined to disclose the names of the
persons for whom he had purchased the stock.
Controller Coler reaffirmed his purpose yester-
day to move slowly in the proceedings which he
has been requested by THE Journal" to take
against the Ice Trust. He is not satisfied as TO
his powers under Chapter 553 of the charter as
his counsel ex-Judge Dillon. said he was not
prepared to advise that the mere holding of
stock in the ice company by city officials while
the company did business with the city consti-
tuted offence. The Controller thinks that
the better plan for him is to wait until the evil
dence is submitted to other tribunal and
then take it UP. Il have not finally made up
my mind Mr. Coler said and l do not intend
TO do anything right away. I may have some
thing TO say later"
In the afternoon he laid all the papers with
which he had been served in connection with
the ice investigation before ex-Judge Dillon
Il do not expect an opinion before tomorrow"
he said Judge Dillon will examine the papers
very carefully before reaching any conclusion.
l do not care to take any chances, particularly
as am not taking the advice of the Corpora
ton Counsel l have the utmost confidence in
the opinion of Judge Dillon and shall be guided
by him entirely in my conduct

CONSUL HAY REPORTS ALL WE'LL.
BELIEF THAT HE WILL SOON RETURN
FROM PRETORIA

Washington, June 5.-The two words IAN
well'' were all that United States Consul Hay
had to send to the State Department on the oc
casion of the occupation of Pretoria by the
British to-day. Probably the Consul. knowing
that the news of Lord Roberts's occupation
would reach the State Department through the
regular news channels. felt that 1t was onIy
necessary for him 10 assure the Department that
the United States Consulate had not been dis
turbed in the CRITICAL period incident to the
abandonment of the Boer capital by it's former
defenders. However, the Consul has scrupulous-
~ RETAINED from communicating in his official
dispatches any information respecting the mill
tary situation that might by any possibility be
INSTANTANEOUS to the Beers
With the occupation of Pretoria by the Brit
tsh the United States Consul has nearly ex-
hausted his usefulness in the TransvaaL He
went there at critical time and has acquitted
himself to the entire satisfaction of both the
British and the Beers. Now that the war has
passed beyond the BOer capital, the duties Of the
Consul will be reduced to the ordinary routine
so that Consul Hay is at liberty to return to the
United States, and 1t is assumed that he will
avail himself in the near future of the permits
sion which has been given him to surrender his
appointment

ended west of the line drawn from Pretoria to
Ficksburg. General Hunters division Is
ported to have entered Lchtenburg, Lord
Methuen will probably turn up at Potchefstroom
and Generals Baden Powell and Darlington will
occupy Zeerust and Rustenburg. The occupa-
ton of Pretoria will probably dishearten the
Free State forces. and the Bethlehem. Harri-
smith and Vrede districts will be gradually
overrun by General Rundle's forces. The
naming operations of the will be restricted
to the Lydenburg district, to which the forces
still holding Laing's Mex must retreat through
Ermelo
There are many signs that the struggle will
end in the course of fortnight, and the details
of the surrender of Pretoria, communicated by
Lord Roberts midnight, support this view.
From Lord Robertss report it appears that the
Beers were driven back fairly into Pretoria in
Mondays engagement. and that the surrender
of the town demanded. General Botha
proposed armistice for settling the terms of
surrender and Lord Roberts replied that there
could be conditions. General Botha decided
against any attempt to defend the town. and
the civil officials arranged for the entry of the
troops during the afternoon, as had been done
at johannesburg. The wives of President Kru-
ger and General Botha remained In the town

prisoners to Waterfall. All the prisoners will be

SCENES OF ROwDY ENTHUSIASM.

mated yesterday than on Mafeking night Flags
were carried by crowds of jewellers for hour

There was more rowdyism and horseplay and
less patriotism. The crowds in the Strand Pail
Mall and Piccadilly were smaller but the police
were kept buster in restraining them and in
keeping order. Music halls rang with applause
when "Bobss" portrait displayed and his
