Compelled to cover his retreat,
Or lose his army trains,
He halts and throws entertainments ur
Upon the arid plains.
But little time to fortify,
And sadly lacking guns,
He faces fifty thousand men
Old Engl,nd's bravest sons.
Although it seems but courting death
For him to make a stand,
He stops Lord Roberts in his haste
To drive him from the land.
Though with but rifles for defense
Through many night and day,
He guards his rear from certain loss;
The British holds at bay.
From scarce two thousand yards away
But out of carbine shot,
The English throw a storm Of shell,
Until the air is hot
With deadly fumes OF noxious gas,
That cen a single breath
Is like blast from hell itself,
So full Of choking death.
Lord Roberts fails to comprehend
The action of his foe.
"They dare me even to the DEATH"
He mutters grim and low;
"Well give them lyddite by the case
Yes, thirty thousand rounds,
Unless they strike that cursed flag
Behind those smoking mounds"
No heed is paid to sad request
For time to bury dead,
Although the slaughter is so great
With gore tho ground is red
1t flows in streams-the only ones
Which wet this barren spot;
1t lies in pools within the trench,
To dscompose and rot.
For ten long days he stands a siege
That fairly shakes the world;
AS shells by tons from ninety guns,
At his laagar are hurled.
While Cronje scans the distant hills
"Praise God" A flashing ray
Proclaims his army safe entrenched;
he now will yield the day.
Than aa ha ui.,..----;AL l-- l---I
The awful carnage spread,
He breathes prayer for wounded men,
A blessing on the dead;
Then, knowing all his work is done,
Just at the break OF day,
He sends a message to his foe
The hand of death to stay.
Lord Roberts bosom swells with pride--
But what does ho behold?
A band of stragglers, sick and weak,
Three thousand-fully told.
Are these the men who brav'd his wrathS
Can he believe his eyesY
He has but WOUNDED to receive!
When SURE he had prize.
Has proud old England fought for weeks
And strained her mighty guns
20 drive from out MUD laagar
This band OF loyal sons?
His pride soon turns to deep cha2 rim;
His enemy has flown!
And left the dauntless general
To capitulate-alone.
All honor to brave Cropje's men,
Like Titans brave OF old,
They fought for home and liberty,
Though odds were many fold.
Up whsrs the heroes deeds are writ,
Within the book Of fame,
Not one will shine with brighter glow
Than General Cronje's name. i.

ostrich Spoiled Ills Speech,

Anybody who heard Senator Allen
of Nebraska, deliver his famous fif-
teen-hour speech against the bill for
the repeal of the Sherman silver bill
would hardly believe that anything
coud stump him. Yet there is an ex-
perience in the senator's life which
shows that, after all, he Ia like unto
other mortals, says the Washington
Post. Il was campaigning in my
state once" said the senator, when I
had occasion to speak at fair
grounds. The grand stand was full,
and the occasion seemed to be full OF
promise for an orator overlowing as
l was with political gospel. Just as
had commenced man brought out an
ostrich hitched to sulky. l don't
know whether you ever saw the trot-
ting ostrich In the east, but out west
he was great attraction. Well. as
soon as that bird began to run around
the track l wasn't in 1t. The ostrich
monopolized the attention of every
man, woman and child. When the
bird stopped the people listened to me,
but when he threw out his long legs
again there was roar of laughter and
applause which drowned every word I
uttered. Finally, gave It up. let
the trotting ostrich have everything
his own way"

INDUSTRIAL NOTES.
The Cotton Mill an Important Factor in The
Soulh-Ncw Industries.

The following shows a few examples
of what cotton mills are TO the south.
We are all aware in the north what 4
large rolling mill. or steel plant means
to small town, and with our brethren
in the south the history OF these towns
goes to show what cotton mill will
do and the result is far in advance in
every way of what such an industry in
the north would produce. The follow
, ing gentlemen mentioned are those who
are using all their efforts i'll developing
the south and are reliable: Mr.. Frank
| Hammond, of Grccnvillc, s. c., points
to the Piedmont Mills in his county as
/ typical OF a score or more other mills in
! the State. The Piedmont mills in n
quarter of a century have transformed
poor hillside farms into a thriving town
/ OF 5000 inhabitants, while neighboring
| farm lands have risen in. value from
S. so to $40 an acre. The building OF
I mills at Greenvilc has been accompan-
led by the remodcling OF old business
properties and the building OF new ones,

8 Marshalltown's immense glucose es-
itablishment, which has been idle dur
ing the larger part of the last year.
because of local and other conditions
that are we'll known. is going to resume
manufacturing operations at the earli-
est possible moment, or as soon as the
necessary number of men can be SEE
cured. IT is expected that the works
will be running at8their full capacity by
Nov. 1.
This good news is given on the au-
sthority of Mr.. j. ]. Merrill, general
master mechanic in charge OF the sew
!eral plants Of the company, and Mr..
I. B. Wagner, assistant to the general.
manager and In charge of the manu-
5facture of the company's products.
These officials arrived in Marshalltownl
this morning and at once issued orders
to the local officials regarding the In
tentions of the company. Work is Of
fered to every man who wishes job
and every one will be given work at
once.
s The difficulty in securing men is the
only tnHS tnat is delaying the reSump-
ton of manufacturing. When the
works closed down for an indefinite time
many Of the old employees. being able
to secure positions in other cities, left
iMarshalltown. and many of those with
families We're among this number The
old employees who remained in the city
and those who desire to return will be
given their old jobs if they desire them.
and there is now no reason for any
able-bodied man in Marshalltown Who
desires work to be idle from this
time on.
The reason for the company's action
is the encouraging prospect OF the mar
sket and the further fact that the stage
of water in the Iowa river will take
care of such sewage necessary to be
discharged into the river without con-
Eliminating the stream. The Iowa river
IS higher now than it has been at this
season for years. and as the ground is
full of moisture there is no indication
that the river will be low this fall Be-
fore severe winter weather sets in the
city hopes to have the sewage disposal

plant in successful operation. Because
of these conditions the glucose company
has decided not to await the completion
of the disposal plant. The company will
employ 300 men when running at full
capacity.
Starting at this time" says Mr.. Mer-
rill, will insure the operation OF the.
plant for an Indefinite time, because
this is the dull season Of the year IN
our business. We want men, however,
and want them Immediately.
Steam has been kept up at the fac
tory during the time that manufacture
ing operations have not been in prog
ress. There were two reasons for this.
One was to protect the property in case
of fire and the other was that the ele-
5vators have been kept busy handling
corn purchased for this and the other
factories. The company has shipped
large quantities Of corn from this point
to the other plants. but will now allow
the grain purchased to accumulate for
the use Of the local factory.
Former Superintendent g. E. Cham
berlain. now OF the Rockford factory,
will arrive in the city Monday and will
remain until the Marshalltown plant is
in full operation. Mr.. Merrill and Mr..
Butler will return to the city Monday
and both will be in the city until that
time. assisting in the work of putting
the factory in operation. Mr. Merrill
will bring his family here to remain as
long as he is located at this point.
The resumption Of operations means
much to the business men Of MARSHALL
town and to the employees who have re-
manned in the city. especially as cold
weather is coming ON. The employ
ment thus furnished will mean bread
and butter and warm clothing to hun-
dreds. and Marshalltown as whole will
benefit to large extent by the giving
of employment to 300 men.
The present progress on, the sewage
plant is most satisfactory and when the
excavations for the twelve filter beds
is completed the aseptic tanks and the
machinery for the handling Of the sew-
age can be installed Messrs. Merrill
and Wagner and Local Agent Holiday
visited the location of the sewage plant
this afternoon and are pleased with the
work SO far as 1t has progressed.
