Time makes sad havoc of polit-
ical issues. Horace Boies of Iowa
preaching against free coinage OF
silver in his recent Jackson Day
speech is queer contrast to the
same Horace Boies who contested
honors with Bryan in 1896 for the
Presidential candidacy upon the
Chicago platform. He now claims
that the defeat of 1896 was brought
about by nothing else than the
declaration in favor of free coinage
at the ratio of rs to +.

England is again beaten back.
Every Boer victory is step to-
ward successful termination OF
the war in their favor, not by a
defeat of English armies, for Eng
land will prosecute the war to the
bitter end and that end is the
crushing of the Transvaal republic,
but by forcing an interference of
the powers that will stay the arm
OF English conquest. Kruger's
hope lies in a mediation of the
powers and the succession of Boer
victories is Fastening that end.

The farming, fruit growing and

back being an unexpectedly low
price for wheat resulting from
stagnation brought about in the
export trade by the scarcity OF
shipping for the transportation Of
the crop. The wheat growers had
a large crop that was SAFELY

QUOTES THE Bible
Kruger Finds Justification for
His Position.
GOLD MINES TO Be DESTROYED
Final Proclamation Issued to Burghers
Crossing Of Border by British the
Signal for Work Of Demolition
All B%urghsrs ordered Out.

A London Daily Mail dispatch dated
Lourenzo Marques, January -, says;
President Kruger has issued a proc
lamation ordering burghers to the
front. The Volksstem, the Transvaal
official organ. suggests hat the mo-
ment the British cross the border the
gold industry should be irrctrievably
destroyed.
President Kruger issued a circular
dated January 8, to Bocr command
ants and burghers, urging them to
show more energy in the Transvaal
cause He quotes psalm 80, verse Z. rs
God given instructions to the burghers,
and says that the British have fixed
their faith in psalm SO. lie also quotes
psalm 50, verses 13 and IA, and asserts
that he has searched the Bible without
being able to find any other mode
which can be followed by the Beers,
who must fight ''in the name Of the
Lord"
communicating is proceeding busily
at Pretoria. where the town guard is
exchanging Mausers for Martins, as
the former are badly needed at the
front. 1t is said that there are nearly
1900 British prisoners in Pretoria.
General Buffers latest authentic
word as to what he and his 30, 900 men
are doing has been wired from Spring
field after his first forward step.
Striving to think out the unknown,
London is confused by surmise and
rumor and disquietcd by suspense.
Spencer Wilkinson, the lucid military
expert of the Morning Post, asserts
that the Boer force in northern Natal
is larger than General Buffers and
Sir George Whites together, so that
the Beers are able to leave n force
around Ladysmith larger than that
within the town, and yet to oppose
General Butler with a force superior to
his own.
Reports from the Bocr camps affirm
that the circle of investment has been
drawn closer by the occupation of some
hills nearer the town, thus liberatinq
reinforccments to oppose General
Butler.
A telegram from Newport, Wales,
says Rutherford Harris, formerly resi-
dent director in South Africa of tho
British South Africa company, has re
ceivcd n cablegram to the effect thai
General Butler has suffered another re
verse. Later Mr., Harris denied having
received the cablegram referring to the
alleged repulse of General Butler.

JUDGES FOR ALASKA
senate Comm ittce Has h Bill Under
Consideration.

The senate committee on territories
has considered a bill creating three
judicial districts for Alaska and for a
revision of the laws of the United
States applying to the territory. A
number of Alaska men were present
with the committee and made sugges-
tions which they desired to be incor-
poratcd in the law. They were asked
If there was any sentiment in favor of
dividing the territory of Mount st.
Elias, making the southeastern portion
the territory of Seward. The reply
was that the people believed such a di-
vision would be necessary at some fut-
ure time. The judicial bill vas re-
ferred to a subcommittee.

company have announced that unless
S33s, 900 stock subscriptions are forth
coming from the public within one
week they will abandon the project of
celebrating the one hundredth ami
versary Of the admission of Ohio into
the Union in 1902. The directors of
the enterprise have been trying for
nearly a year to raise $500, 600, which
amount is necessary before government

EACH SIDE CLAIMING SUCCESS
Contrary Reports Concerning Column
bian Revolution.

Advices just received from Columbia,
says n Kingston, Jamaica, dispatch, re-
iterate the statement that the mai n
body of the Columbian revolutionists,
after occupying Bucaramanga on jan
uary G and securing large quantities
of stores, proceeded toward Socorro, to
which other bodies were converging,
with a view of forming a junction and
delivering a concerted attack upon b.
gotta In this attempt the Columbians
expected the assistance Of a consider
able body of Venezuelans, understood
to be advancing from the frontier.
On the other hand, the govern
ment dispatches reatiirm the reports of
n complete rout of the main body of
the insurgents in two heavy battles
nea Bucaramanga and Cerrita, entire
ly frustrating the insurgent plans.
AS against this, advice fr ON yet an
other quarter declares that the gov
eminent is completely disorganizcd
and that the government troops are
retrcating toward Bogota, avoiding
conflicts. In this connection it is
pointed out that the drafting of troops
into the capital is a significant indica-
ton of the governments position.

Poison In Wedding Feast,

Nearly n hundred guests who assem-
bled at 500 Canal street, Chicago, H.,
to witness the wedding of Morris Pol
lack and Anna Schan, were poisoned
during dinner which followed the we'd
ding ceremony. In less than half an
hour after dinner nearly everyone in
the hall was in a helpless condition.
What article of food contained the poi
son no IN has yet been able to learn,
but the most popular belief is that it
was the chicken, which had been pre-
pared in a copper kettle. So far no
deaths have been reported, but many
are seriously i'll, including the bride
and groom.

II Is authoritively stated that the
boss rod rollers of the Cleveland district
OF the American Steel and Wire COM
pany have rendered their resignation
with a view of withdrawing from the
rod rollers association. 1t is under
stood that this action was taken be-
cause as they say they have no griev-
ance and believe that in the interest of
themselves and the mill employees it is
unfair to insist upon the present de-
mands particularly in face of the vol
untary advance in wages already made.

NOTHING HEARD FROM HIM
stra nge is~appearance of Hamilton
Stafford Unexplained d.

The strange disappearance of Eamil,
ton Stafford of Cortland from Lin.
coin on the afternoon Of January 81
still furnishes considerable cause for
speculation among those most inter,
ested. Mr.. Stafford came to this city,
to transact some business on that day.
He was last seen on the streets, so far
as current knowledge goes, at about
1880 in the afternoon by Elmer Sails
bury, a young man who worked for
him when he was farming near Ray
mond two years ago. Since that time
nothing has been heard from or of him.
and he has dropped completely out of
sight. The efforts of the friends of
the family to get trace of him have not
been successful, and Mrs. Stafford says
that she knows no more about him or
his whereabouts now than the day he
disappeared. She suspects foul play.

SAVED FROM AWFUL FATE

Alive.

Alive.
An East st. Louis, ILL.,, January Is
dispatch says: Mrs. Christian Hirth
emerged from a trance this morning to
find herself under process Of being en-
balmed and prepared for the grave.
The discovery Of life was the result of
the merest accident and astounded the
undertakers. A movement Of an eye
lid saved the woman from death at the
hands Of the undertaken or from burial
alive.
This morning, while her husband
watched at her bedside at the hospital,
she gave a deep sigh, and then seemed
to breathe no more. When the county
physician arrived he felt her pulse and
made other tests and then pronounced
her dead. The county undertaken was
called and shortly afterward proceeded
to cmbalm the body in the dead room.
During the operation the undertaken
noticed a faint culver of the eyelid and
at once applied the most powerful test
known to u~ndertakers and was re-
warded with a faint sign Of life. lie
summoned assistance and the body was
removed to a bed in the hospital. The
doctor was called and r~estoratives APP
piled.
Gradually the woman came out of
her trance and was able to move her
body. 1t is expected that she will re-
gain some Of her strength and i've for
a while at least.

German Military Man Has Ills
Doubis OF English Success.

Sundays news that n peace nov
ment is growing in Great Britain is re-
ceived in Berlin with incredulity. The
Lokal Anzc,ger says:
ut is impossible that the British
government, in any event, could be in
auenced by such II movement. Great
Britain's prestige imperatively de-
mands, since once she has gone upon
the war path, that she should carry
matters TO a successful issue"
The Lokal Anzeigcr contains an ar
ticle by General Won ~Schmeling, criti-
cising the war and saying that it is
questionable whether Great Britain,
even with Lord Roberts and Lord
Kitchener and $50, 900 men will win.
