An enthusiastic meeting Of the l.

held at Union Republican headquarters
on Saturday evening. Encouraging re-

encouraged. One hundred and fifty re-

A communication was received from a

they were Republicans and desired Re-
publican supremacy and inasmuch as
the Union REPUBLICAN party seemed to
be the only party that could by any
possibility be able TO carry this State,

counties, they therefore wished to be
identified with said party, and wanted
to participate in the parade with the J.

to enable us to Judge whether he has met

difficulty il the Beers have rcocctlpiod the
forts, but in all probability the entry into
Pretoria will not be long delayed. The
BOer military power is now completely
broken. and the war practically is over,
although the complete occupation of the
country will take some time and probably
will he delayed by many guerrilla bands.
"Prcsident Kruger may form band Mt

The bakers trust in this city is thing
Of the past. 1t existed but one short day.
The bakers who star ed the trust which
was to raise the price of bread from three
to five cents loaf are sorry now they
started the combine.
George H. Huber is charged with hav-
ing bursted the trust. IL is said he
signed the notice which declared that
bread would go up in price, but con-
tnued to sell bread at the old prices.
The trust went into active existence
Friday morning, and OF course all bakers
in the trust charged the advanced price.
The result was that considerable of the
trade of the trust went to Huber on that
day as the news that he was really not
in the trust, although his name appeared
in the notice.
BY Friday night the bakers were sick
of the trust and it was practically at an
end. Saturday morning the price oi
bread was back at its old place and
there was rejoicing among the poor OF
the citv.

notice but did so with the understanding
