mated at about $4,000, The locomobile

New York, Aug. 23.-Business at the
stock exchange to-day was again of
small proportions. Some irregularity
occurred in the movement of prices and
net changes showed about an even dis
tribution of small gains and losses.
Stocks which have recently tended up
wards continued in that direction to-
day, particularly Consolidated Gas New
Jersey Central and ST Louis South
western. The latter was taken on re-
ports of a possible dividend on the pre-
ferred stock. While no corroboratio
has been made regarding the reputed
deal in New Jersey Central, that stock
moved up points, but only retained
net gain of q per cent. Baltimore and
Ohio sympathized in the movement to
the extent of about a point, but did not
hold the advantage. The western rail-
roads were inclined to sag on reports
of damage to the corn crop in Kansas.

Fought For England.

Ernest Gray is home from five months ser
vice under the British flag in the South African
campaign. He left New Orleans July 10th of
last year, with a big shipment of nulcs going
to Africa. He expected to work in the new
country, but when ge got there he found bnsi-
ness demoraliZed and 40 he enlisted and served
until after the relief of Mafeking. in which he
had part.
The trip across the Atlantic took Gray into
the harbor of Santiago and other of the West
Indian cities, thence on to Capetown. From
the e he went to Kimberly and enlisted in the
Kimberly Light Horse, mounted light infan-
try regiment which was attached to General
Hunters command His commander was Col
Mahon. From Kimberly the regiment went to
the battle of Fourteen streams. After this it
returned to Kimberly, and then went into camp
at Bossef for short time, doing patrol duty in
that vicinity. From there the regiment started
across the Free State for the relief of Mafeking.
General Hunter was not with them, but with
another part of his command, followed the rail-
road and did not arrive until about fifteen days
after the relief of Mafeking. 1he Kimberly
Light Horse was there for the fray. 1t was in
the fight from noon to six o'clock of the day
before the city was relieved, and the aext day,
charged Eoer laagcr for about four hours
MIR Gray says that the campaign in Africa
was easy and more heathfnl compared with the
impression he has gained of what the American
soldiers are experiencing in the Philippines,
but then he recalled he was fighting in winter
which makes quite difference hey had horse
sausages, mule steak, hn,se pudding and AL of
the Other delicac which go to make up army
life and which gives a soldier those pleasing cx-
pcricnces which he always likes to recount. The
scarcity of water was of the most severe
hardships they hid. In one place, he said, they
dug down deep in a creek bottom for a foot or
two, and found fairly good drinking water In
another place the water was as black rs gumbo,
and even the horses would not drink it.
Many of the soldiers in fact most of them,
suffered from small sores, known as field Sores
which are aid to be caused mainly by lack of
vegetables in diet. These sores would start
sometimes like u mosquito bite, get red and
itch, and then they would swell up and foster
out, leaving n bad scar Gray showed two of
these scars 90 his hands.
He says that he is glad to get back to the
states. There is no show for p,or nan to
make much money in Africa. The prospecting
days are over, except possibly for men with
money, because most of the places where big
money is to be made are taken up now. The
war has disorganized the whole country 40 that
he believes he can make az much money in the
states as across tho water and he prefers to live
on this side. He procured his discharge from
the army July & and started for kis home within
few days, arriving at Missouri Valley last
Saturday. After visit of few days there
with his father, y q Gray. he came on TO this
city and is visiting with his brother, Il + Gray,
of the Bell restaurant.-Council Bluffs Noppar-
