The small boys that congregate on
Guernsey street, near Thirty-third, are
becoming quite a nuisance, and annoy
many people by throwing stones and
missiles at each other. Last evening
as little girl left Lees grocery store,
on Thirty third street, and walked
down to Belmont, boy threw stone
striking the girl in the forehead, cut
ting an ugly cash, and frightening
the little girl very much. She was
taken back to Lees grocery, where
Mrs. Lee took care of her and sent her

should look after this crowd of boys
and quiet them down.

1t is reported on good authority that
the Aetna-Standard mill will not make
any more tin, and that this depart
ment will be changed into a sheet mill
department, and that most probably a
new galvanizing building will be built,
Also that the plate and guide mills will
be taken out in July, and in the future
this plant will be known as a sheet
and jobbing mill and will probably be
made one of the largest sheet mills
in the United States. The plant will
hereafter be known as the Aetna

Yesterday the election for members
of the Board of Education was held
in town, the polls being opened at the
City Building. Only one ticket was in
the field, and that Republican. When
this was learned the Democrats started
to write the names of A. T. Bouie and
Seneca Lyle, in the places of the Re-
publicans. Mr.. Bouie asked the people
not to vote for him, also did Mr. Lyle,
but the two gentlemen received many
votes. The Republicans were elect

that this election was not regular, and
may be looked into.

"a DAILY NUISANCE.
A Simple Remedy which VIII Inter-
est Catnrrh Sufferers.

simple Kennedy which VIII inter
est Catnrrh Sufferers.
In its early stages catarrh il
more of a nuisance than menace
to the general health. but sooner
or later, the disease extends to the
throat, bronchial tubes and even
to the stomach and intestines.
Catarrh is essentially disease
of the mucous membrane. the local
symptoms being profuse dis
charge of mucus. stoppage of the
nostrils, irritation in throat,
causing coughing, sneezing, gag
ging and frequent clearings of the
throat and head.
The usual treatment by locla
douches, snuffs, salves, ETC., often
gives temporary relief, but any,
thing like a cure can only be OBJ
tanned by a treatment which re-
moves the catarrhal faint from the
blood and the disappearance of the
Inflammation from the mucous
surfaces.
A new remedy which meets
these requirements and which so
far has been remarkably successful
in curing catarrh is Stuart's Ca
tarrh Tablets.
These tablets act upon the
blood and mucous membranes
only. They can hardly be called
a secret patent medicine as they
are composed of such valuable
remedies as Sanguinaria, Hydras-
tin, Eucalyptol and similar cleans
ing antiseptics, which cure by
eliminating from the blood and
mucous surfaces the catarrhal poi
son.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are
large, pleasant tasting lozenges
taken internally, allowing them to
dissolve in the mouth. in this way
they reach the throat, fauces and
the entire alimentary canal.
If desired. they may also be dis
solved in water and used as a
douche, in addition to the internal
use, but it is not at all necessary
to use douche; few of them dis
solved in the mouth daily will be
sufficient. However, when there Is
much stoppage Of the nose, a
douche made from these tablets
will give immediate relief, but the
regular daily use internally of
these tablets, will cure the whole
catarrhal trouble, without resort
ing to the inconvenience of
douche.
DR.. Bement states that the in
ternal treatment for catarrh is
rapidly taking the place of the old
plan of douching, and local appli-
cation and further says that prob
ably the best and certainly the
safest remedy at present on the
market is Stuart's Catarrh Tab
lets, as no secret is made of their
composition and all the really eff
cient remedies for catarrh are con-
tanned in this, tablet"
Druggists sell Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets at fifty cents for full sized
packages. Ask your druggist and
if he is honest he will tell you
there is no safer, more palatable,
more efficient and convenient rem
edy on the market.

The effect of this victory upon Sir

in official circles last night was that
Lord Roberts had rendered General
Buller's campaign more difficult by his
victory.
There was no official news from Gen
eral Butler when the War Office closed
at midnight and the press dispatches
were fragmentary and inconclusive.
II was clear that there had been a
weeks heavy fighting, with serious
losses on the British side. The Beers
were apparently reinforced on Friday
and made determined effort to drive
back the British brigades. General
Buffers men only held their ground
after desperate fighting and they were

guns. Military writers are beginning
to criticise General Buffers tactics In

massing his troops for an attack but
these structures are unjust when the

Last Days Of the
CrOnjs Struggle

Paardeberg, Monday, Feb. 26 (de-
layed in transmission.) --On this. the
eighth day of General Cronje's resis-
lance, General Smith-Dorrien has
worked up the river bed to within 200
yards of the Boer lager, squeezing the
enemy into more and more confined
space.
The stay Of the British here has not
been in any way due to General Cron-
je, but in order to get supplies and rest
the troops, which had become absolu-
tely necessary. Now there are daily ar.
rivals of large conveys, allowing full
rations to the men, which had at best
been intermittent during the last three
days. A heavy rain has caused great
discomfort to the British, but greater
to the Beers and cold winds have
killed many sick animals. Last night
the river rose and brought down &
great number of dead Boer horses.
When the history of Roberts move
ment is written 1t will be found that
the marching power and magnificent
endurance of the British soldier is as
great as ever. The march itself as seen
on the map would be nothing very
marvellous, but 1t must be remembered
that the whole original plan of march
was changed when General CronjC
made his magnificent night trek on the
18th. The whole army swung to the
| left in hot pursuit. Some of the regi
ments marched twenty-seven miles In
twenty-four hours, outstripping Tho
transport supplies and living for day,
on almost quarter rations. Yet tn,

There has been a drenching rain fol-
the last three days, the men lying iulll
exposed to the rain and the subsequen
