Well, sometimes most of the time.
On the midway at the street carnival at
the main gate. Nothing but fun in fact
Nobody lost their temper, although it
was a big crowd. And you couldn't go
away in a quiet corner and enjoy it all
to yourself with your best girl. Because
why? There were no quiet corners. It
was jam from the main entrance at
Ninth street to the wild animal show at
the extreme north end.
Four thousand people watched the elk
jump off the high platform, While 5000
watched the bear execute the dance de
ventre in front of the wild animal show
Other thousands were in the side thea
terS, and there was no end to the VolunA
of humanity that elbowed it's way up.
and down the carnival section.
Even his honor Mayor Smith was at
tracted by the purple lights and the
varied attractions of the midway He
looked interested and anxious to see the
show all at once, but had no better sue
cess than the thousands of others who
sought the borders of the crowd for
breathing space.
1t was the underlined night for the
''barke-s" and the popcorn men, ard
no fa1r-nlinded referee would undertake
to tell which made the most noise But
there was Other noise than that made
by the ''bargers'' and popcorn men, The
10Y pagplpe and the tin whistle; the
wooden flute and the full-developed tn
horn. 1t was deafening, disorderIy and
defiant of all control
And they didn't want to go home. They
wanted to stay in the theaters and watch
the dancers; they wanted to ride the cam
ei, and throw confetti on the balance Of
the population. Those who didn't want
to go home obstrUcted the egress of those
who did until the police interfered But
1t was all in good part, and nobody was
arrested.
There may be such another night. but
not more than one. 1t was not warm,
it was torrid. Those who remained at
home will be mad when they hear about
it. But they may cheer up, for there are
other opportunities.
Tomorrow night will be another CON
fetti night. Carry your own wisp broom.
and keep 1t from getting down your back,
Wednesday night will be military night.

ROBERTS DISPATCH.
He Is Now Somewhere on the Modder
 River

London, February 16.--9:SO D. m.-The fol- lowing dispatch from General Roberts fills the gaps in the earlier dispatches:
 'Modder River, February 16.-The Sixth division left Waterfall Drift early yester- day morning and marched here, going on the same evening to Reondeval Drift to hold the crossing of the Modder river and leave General French to act.
 'S5hortly after arrival here the mounted infantry visited Jacobsdal and found It full of women and children, with four of our wounded men doing well.
 ''On the way back the mounted infantry were attacked and nine men were wounded. Colonel Henry and Major Harthill and ten men were missing Both officers were sub- sequently found at Jacobsdal. slightly wounded.
 '"The cavalry division is moving in a northerly direction and has apparently aq-' ready reduced the pressure on Kimberley, as Kekwich signals the enemy has aban- doned Alexandersfontein and that he has occupied it. s'
 'French has advanced as far as Abons- dam, with a slight loss. and is pushing on the posts, his rear being held by mount ed infantry.
 'Clements, having been pressed by the Boers, has retired to Arundel to cover Naauwpoort.'
 The war office points out that the word 'here'' in the above dispatch means some point on the Modder river other than the Nodder river station.

 Your honor will hot permit us to make mention of the great injustice which is matter of history, but experts in hand Writing have made mistakes before, and they have repeated it. Your honor, all this is nothing to what is in my heart at this moment. Above and beyond anything else 1 denounce and despise the action of the distrist attorney in attempting to ylllify and attack the character of the pure and lovely woman who bears my name. It was the al of a blackguard. It was a damn able lie. Now, your honor. l am prepared to hear you sentence me. l am not afraid because 1 am not guilty
 Recorder Golf, in pronouncing the sem tence, reminded the defendant that his counsel had already presented all the facts to the jury and that the court had but the one duty to perform.
 General Molineux was asked about the fund which it was proposed to raise for him to defray expenses he had been under by the trial, and he said, when inquiry was made regarding his acceptance:
 ''Absolutey and under circumstances would accept suEl thing"

The Road Now Open

Outside Jacobsdal, Orange Free State, Thursday, February 15.-The road between Modder river and Jacobsdal is now open. The distance is only nine miles, The road is available for sending reinfofcements and supplies. When the Boers evacuated Ja- cobsdal they were obliged to pass over a ridge where they afforded a splendid mark for the British guns, which showered shrapnel upon the retreating enemy.
 The convoy which attacKed at Riet river had been countermanded, but the order did not arrive in time, and the experience was a very warm one, although the Boers did little material damage.
 As General French with the strengthened division, pushed forward toward kimber- ley, he found the beleaguering Boers de- serting their position at Alexandersfontein, thus allowing portion of the Kimberley garrison to occupy the place.

SEVERAL SHARP ENGAGEMENTS Roberts Has Wrought Genuine
 Preliminary Success.
THE BRITISH REACH JAcoBsDAL
Colesberg Dispatch Says the Fighting Was Resumed on Tuesday and British Had Sixty Killed and
 Wounded-SO Prisoners

London, February 17.-4:45 a. m.-General Cronje, with a start of day or two, is seemingly in full retreat from Lord Rob- erts, moving northward. General French, with the cavalry, simply stayed over night in Kimberley, and then pushed on to get dn touch with the retiring enemy. A long Boer wagon train is moving toward Bloem- fontein, followed presumably by large forces of British infantry In their nasty departure the Boers lost quantities of sup plies and ammunition.
 Military opinion here is that Lord Rob- erts will not push far after the Boers im- mediately, because of the many problems and the need of rest for the troops He has to feed 10000 persons in his army and the whole Kimberley population. He must rebuild the railway from Modder river to Kimberley and revictual the latter. General French lost @ few men only in ac- tion, but forced marches and the heat have probably made many i'll. Numbers of remounts must be provided.
 Lord Roberts has wrought genuine pre- liminary success, and the impression is that he has done enough for the present. IIe will need to prepare for another strike.
 All over England to-day there was evil
 
 public station, and in the streets there has been expressions of gladness over the news. The newspapers are editorially rejoicing.
 Those who read the news closely see the diturbing factor in the Cape situation.
 Lord Roberts line of supply is through Deaar, which was never more important than now. The Boers under commanders Delacy and Gobler are making persistent effort to penetrate to the railway. They have pushed General Clements back to Arundel, and have outflanked him. All are within sixty miles, or two days hard march, of the central railway. Doubtless Lord Roberts has left considerable force along the line, and can send back more If necessary.
 In the Hobbies of the house last night, it was rumored that General Butler had again crossed the Tugea A special dispatch, dated two days back, and just transmitted from Chieveley, says that an important move was then pending there, although con- trary indications are found in the fact that 75O ambulance bearers have been temporari- ly disbanded and the further fact that traction engines are arriving at Durban from the front to be sent to Lord Roberts. More artillery is being sent to Lord Rob- erts from Capetown.

AGREEMENT AS A TRUCE.
Taylor and Beckham Agree to Postpone
 the Gases.

Frankfort, Ky, February 16.-The agree ment entered into at Georgetown today by which the Taylor and Beckham injunction suits were postponed till February 23, is to operate as a truce in the legal battle over the state offices, and it is not prooable that there will be any decisive changes in the situation until then, unless tine return of the democratic legislature here adds some unexpected feature. A part of the attor- neys on both sides had a meeting this evening and discussed several plans for consolidating and various injunction cases in order to avoid clash between the state courts in which they are pending, but a final understanding was not reached. A proposition which is considered with flavor ds that all the cases be consolidated and submitted to judge of one of the neigh boring circuit court districts.
