Care Of Lamps.

Many housekeepers think there is
nothing To learn about the care of
lamps; but If the little details here
mentioned are adhered to, there will
be a great difference i'm the light.
First. lamp must be cleaned aud
filed every morning; the burners should
be cleaned once n week, and the best
way is to boil them in water in which
Gold Dust Washing Powder has been
added. Put a teaspoonful into quart
of water, and boil ten minutes. The
flueS should he put In pan Of cold
water, and heated slowly until they
boil, then take off and let them cool
gradually-this toughens the glass.

Deafness Can not Be Cured

by local application, as they cannot
reach the deceased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafaess
and that Is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infiamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets
infiamed you have rumbling sound OF
imperfect hearing, and when 1t is en-
tirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to Its nor
NAL condition, hearing will be destroy
ed forever; inc cases out Of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an infiamed condition of the mu-
cous surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars for
any case of deafness, caused by catarrh,
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh

SENSATIONAL AFFIDAVITS.
The Montana Ore Purchasing Co. Charged with Contempt of
 Court at Helena Mont.

Helena. Mont, March 29.-Counsel for the Boston & Montana Co, just prior to the adjournment of the su- preme court, Tuesday, filed affiGavits of d sensational nature in support of motion for an order why the Montana Ore Purchasing Co. should not be pun ished for alleged contempt. The Bos- ton & Montana Go. alleges that the Montana Ore Purchasing Co. have ex- tracted ores from the disputed ground in the Pennsylvania, after having been enjoined, last January, by court not to do so. The affidavits created sensation. The disputed ground is among the richest in the Butte copper district. A. T.. Heinz, vice-prcsident of the Montana combany, swore he had issued no orders directing the extrac- tion of ores on the forbidden ground. The sensational motion was made just after court had heard arguments for dismissal of the injunction against the Montana company, and was supported by number of attidavits from miners who claimed to have seen men at work in the disputed ore body who were in the employ of Heinz. Two prominent mining engineers also made affidavit that mining had been conducted con- trary 10 the injunction. The court set April II as the date for hearing the application.

sketch of Joubcrt.s Career.

Gen. Pietrus Jacobus Joubert, com mar dant general of the Transvaal forces. better known Piet Joubert. or 'Slel Fiet" (Slim Peter). was born about 6S years ago. He was descended from an ol1 French Huguenot family which settled in South Africa many years ago He was born in Cape Colony, but was taken hy his parents. when seven years old, to the Orange Free State, where he was taught frorr early childhood to shoot straight ard hate the British.
 He is described as having been utterly fearless. Of schooling. he had but little. and he never saw a newspaper until i!e was IS years old. In spite of this, his ambition prompted him to read the few books he could obtain. and he succeeded in obtaining fair knowledge of history and languages.
 In consequence of the acquisition of ra- tai by the British his family removed from Natal and settled in the Transvaal. SooE South African Republic and a dar.ng fighter. It was claimed in his behals that he could lead a body of men more successfully against hostile natives than any other man in the Transvaal He came to be so feared by the natives that the knowledge that he was at the head of a punitive expedition usually resulted in
 IL was during these wars with the i.a tives, that Joubert became acquainted with Paul Kruger. and the two men b. vice-president of the Transvaal in 1875 defeated Sir George Colley at Majuba hill in 1881, and acted as president of tte republic in lSs3-s4, during Kruger's ab
 Gen. Joubert was always in favor of the use Of force instead Of diplomacy, and had great difficulty in repressing his hot headed colleague, notably, in ls79 when Joubert, with Kruger and Pretorius was planning the rebellion 70 overthrow Brit tsh rule in the Transvaal. The result was Majuba Hill and the practical independ- snce of the Transvaal
The Forrest City times., 1900-03-30


 II was Joubert who organized the army of the South African Republic later on dividing the country into r military de partments, and each of these departments into smaller divisions. with command ants field comets and lieutenants of vati- otS ranks in charge.
 According to the generals plans every mar became a trained soldier without leaving his farm, and had his equipmnt ready at hand: To such point of per lection was the system carried. that within AS hours after the present war was declared, the Boer nation was under arms
 II was also due to Gen Jeubert that the South African republics succeeded in m&ssIng the immense stores of war munitions and provisions which have stood them in such good stead during the conflict now in progress
 When the Jameson raiders were lockci up ir Pretoria jail Joubert was strongly in favor of their immediate execution. IL was not until Joubert and Kruger had been c,oseted together for a who'- n.-;ut Kruger prevailed.
 In spite of these characteristics, Jor- bert on some occasions, showed consid- ble regard for the usages of ciyilizu. t;or. When the Boers raided British ter ritory Bechuanaland, in 1884, Joubert Vas probably the only prominent Boer who refused to support the movement and his opposition resulted in the withdrawal of the Boers from the territory seized as he threatened to resign unless he had ms ''I positively refuse to hold office under a government that deliberately breaks .ts covenants, and we have made covenants with England"
 IE November last 1t was reported thay Gen. Joubert had been killed in action and later reports said he was dangerous ly wounded and had to use a cart in or. der to follow the operations in the field
 The circumstances of the death of Gen Jcubert are not explained in the dispatch from Lourenzo Marquez which recalls the fact that Vim. Cox, newspaper cor. respondent who was recently release l rom Imprisonment at Pretoria and who has arrived at Durban. said Gen Joupurr was apparently suspected of half -hearteC ness and that his life would be in danger at the hands of the burghers if Pretoria was besieged.
