REDUCED RAILROAD RATES.
The Order Making Rate to be Pro
mulgated Today.

Everything points to a great gathering
Of people here next Tuesday.
Ii is certain that reduced rates vii
be given on the railroads for the Bryan
speaking here. Assurances were yes
terday received from both the Seaboard
and Southern TO this effect. :
The only question now is as to What
the rate will be- 1t is expected. however
that the order on both roads will bt
promulgated today or early tomorrow
and then the rate can be learned on
inquiry of the local agent.
Railroad officials here have asked that
it be one. fare for the round trip, an0
they think the request will be granted.
III was suggested that special trains be
run from Goldsboro and Durham but
that has been found impossible. Col. W
A Turk, general passenger agent of the
Southern, being wired To IN regard tC
the matter by Mr.. Stursis, the agent
here, replied aS follows:
Your telegram 10 date, application for
special trains To Raleigh and return for
Bryan speaking Regret 10 advise that
chartered train season closed and under
The circumstances We cannot comply
with the request. Reduced rates will
probably be made on regular trains by
all lines for this occasion. of which you
will be advised as soon as possible, i'll
reply To your request for such rates"
1t will be seen from the above that
though no special trains will be run
the Southern will give Il special rate on
liz, regular trains.

10 repel attacks. Things went quietly
until Wednesday. when the Beers adj
yanced along the ridge within 900 yards.
They also held a smaller drift three
miles TO the west. On receipt of this
news General Methuen dispatched a
large force under General Darlington
with the purpose of surrounding the
Beers.
General Darlington arrived within two
miles of Koodoosberg at 4:3O p. N. too
late to attempt the turning movement
The next morning it was found that
the Beers had fled from the lower drift,
but still remained on the hill which they
also left when they perceived Babing
tons movements. Early in the morning
Burlington vigorously shelled the retiring
Beers.
The whole British force is now return
ing TO camp.
AN ADVANCE IMPOSSIBLE.
Headquarters Camp, Springfield Bridge
February 9.-1'he position taken north of
the Tugela river proved difficult one
to maintain. The regiments sent across
as reinforcements went into the front
line of trenches. but owing to the great
strength of the Beers in the Brakfontein
Hills TO the left it was found impossible
to advance without risking unnecessary
loss.
The Beers continued Smelling the Brit
ISL position. Their superiority Of shell
fire rendered the advance impossible.

BULLER TO CHANGE TACTICS.
His Retirement Only Temporary, it is
Claimed.

London, Feb. 10-A dispatch to the
London Times from Springfield Bridge,
dated Friday. February 9th. says:
Our force at Naal Krantz entrenched
itself as we'll as possible. but, neverthe-
less, we continued to lose men, and no
advance was made. The Boer artillery
fired necessarily, and as Wednesday pro-
ceeded it was increasingly apparent that
although the infantry might, by very
determined assault. force its way through
the centre of the Bocr position ii would
become impossible during subsequent
operations To maintain the security of
the lines of communication and the
evacuation was decided upon. The re-
;irement commenced at 3 O'Clock at night,
the pontoon bridge being removed after
General Hildyard's force had crossed this
morning The whole force retired be-
yond the range of the Boer guns. which
continued Smelling.
4 special dispatch dated Spearman's
Camp Friday. February 9th. says thar
General Buffers retirement was merely
temporary. owing to Il determination TO
change tactics. The force. the dispatch
adds. will soon resume operations. The
casualties We're mostly slight wounds.
The fact that the news of Lord Rod
eTts' message to Presidents Kruger and
Steyn came from the Modder River is
taken as an additional Indication that
the commander-in-chicf has gone there.

with energy enough to move the center
of gravity thither General Buffers
move must therefore, be considered in its
place in a general scheme. The idea
seems to be that if General Butler cannot

leg while someone else does. According
~ General Butler is not TO risk his army,
but short of that, is to give the Beers
as much TO do in Natal as he can
The new plan involves prompt and
successful offensive operations against
the Free State forces in the west--a
series of crushing blows.
Lord Roberts has reinforced Methuen
with cavalry brigade and horse artil-
| lery. and there is probably an infantry
division to follow.
ITO all appearance General Butler has
given up his third attempt before his at
I!tack was fully developed.

I Lorenzo Marques speaks of a sortie
iEfrom Ladysmith in the night of Thnrs-
slav 10 Friday. Such an attempt of Gen
eral White 10 cut his way out was prob
able and may succeed, though the nature
Of modern weapons is against him and
there would be heavy loss and many
Strarelers would be cut off.
The likelihood of General White
trying to fight his way out would explain
the reticence of the War Office. 1t
would also explain the demonstration
from Chieveey, of which we have heard
only through a Boer telegram.

FRIED ONIONS
Indirectly Caused the Death of the
Worlds Greatest General.


It is matter of history that Napoleon
was gourmand, an inordinate lover of
the good things of the table. and his
tory further records that his favorite dish
was fried onions: his death from cancer
of the stomach it is claimed also, was
probably caused from his excessive indul-
gence of this fondness for the odorous
vegetable.
The onion is undoubtedly wholesome
article Of food in fact has many medici-
nal qualities OF value, but it would be
difficult to find a more indigestible article
than fried onions, and to many people
they are simply poison. but the onion does
not stand alone in this respect. Any arti-
Gle Of food that is not thoroughly digest
ed becomes a source of disease and dis
comfort whether it be fried onions or beef
steak
The reason why any wholesome food is
not promptly digesttd is because the
stomach lacks some important element of
digestion; some stomachs lack peptone,
others are deficient in gastric juice, still
others lack hydro chloric acid
The one thing necessary to do in any
case of poor digestion is to supply those
elements of digestion which the stomach
lacks, and nothing does this SO thor
oughly and safely ass Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets.
DR.. Richardson in writing a thesis on
treatmtnt of dyspepsia and indigestion,
closes his remarks by saying, for those
suffering from acid dyspepsia, shown by
sour, watery rlsings, or for 1atulent dys-
pepsia shown by gas on stomach, causing
heart trouble and difficult breathing, as
well as for all other forms of stomach
trouble, the safest treatment is to take
one or two of Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets
after each meal. 1 advise them because
they contain no harmful drugs, but are
conn osed of valuable digestives, which
act promptly upon the food eaten. I
never knew case of indigestion or even
chronic dyspepsia which Stuarts Tablets
would not reach"
Cheap cathartic medicines claiming to
cure dyspepsia and indigestion can have
no effect whatever in actively digesting
the food and to call any cathartic medi-
cine a cure for Indigestion is a mis-
homer.
Every druggist in the United States and
Canada sells Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets,
and they are not only the safest and most
successful but the most scientific of any
treatment for indigestion and stomach |
