INTERESTING DEVELOPMENT

London, March, 22.-While there is a
lull In military operations, the present
surroundings of the war show interest
ing developments. The colonial office
telegraphed from Cape Town the text OF
proclamation concerning destruction
of property. This is not to be publish
ed in London until after PRONUNCIATION
in South Africa, but it is known it will
convey the intimation that any wanton
destruction of British property during
the war will be regarded as warrantipg
claims for compensation and justifying
levy upon private property, should the
resources of the Transvaal republic
prove inadequate. In fact, the procla-
nation issued by the colonial office is
regarded as significant indication that
the republics will be administered as
crown colonies, In this connection it is
un derstood that the leaders Of the op-
position in parliament now admit no
other settlement is possible, since the
republics insist upon their demands for
absolute independence. In view OF this
the efforts OF the Liberals Will be con-
fined 10 securing in settlement the best
trea tment for the Dutch population in
cluding security against their disfran-
chisement.

PETITION THE
DISTRICT COURT
Decision ofCity Clerk Delaplain to
be Appealed to the District
Court, in the Cases Of Filing the
Democratic and Populist Tickets

City Clerk Delaplain at a late hour
this afternoon was served with copies Of
petitions in which the nominees on the
alleged populist and democratic tickets
ask the district court to compel the said
M. o. Delaplain to file the tickets and
that that they appear on the ballots and
upon the official list of nominations.
The other principal part of the petit
tion seems to be request that the court
grant attorneys fees in the small ~ sum
of $3.50 and that the costs OF the COM
plainants in the petition also be paid and
that same be paid by City Clerk M. o.
Delaplaln.
The matter of the attorneys fees
which is the seventh article of the peti-
ton and seemingly one of the most i'm
portant. is to be paid from the pockets
Of the city clerk, which of course is all
to be heard by the Honorable Court.
The signatures attached to the petit
ton as attorneys are James W. Buck
lin and District Attorney Samnel &.

Prof. Meakin's Lecture.

Inc nail Oh tDe Ouu BLOWS ldsI ulRus |
was filled with representative crowd
of Grand Junction people. on invitation
from the local camp of Woodmen OF the
World, to hear the brilliant Prof. John
fic jurisdiction, Woodmen of the World.
Prof. Meakin, since associating him
self with Woodmen work has attained
an enviable reputation as a speaker and
wit. The dry, statistical stereotyped
talks Of the average official lecturer are
entirely foreign to the splendid oratori
cal effort with which Prof. Meakin favors
an audience. The prelude to his lee
ture proper is devoted to plain state
ment CT work, growth and wonderful re-
suits attained by the order in period of
nine years. Over 10000 members are
now included in the Pacific Jurisdiction;
there are $50 camps and there has been
paid out in this time in benefits and for
death benefits 81 1,549,OOO.
The lecture which Prof Meakin gave
had for a subject "Onward and Upward"
and in this the question of fraternity
took prominent position.
1t is impossible to give heightened
review of Prof. Meakin's lecture. He
spoke very rapidly for over an hour and
quarter and hold his large audience to
the strictsst attention throughout. He
has fund of information which few
public speakers can boast, and besides
has added to his general information,
numberless gems OF thought compiled
from the best minds of the past and
present. These were interjected into
his Grafton and made it sparkle with
brilliancy and wit.
A remarkable thing in the lectures of
Prof. Meakin is his familiarity with the
poets. he rscitsd stanza after stanza
of the rarest thought gems in poetry
and prose, SO that he impressed his
hearers that his mind was storehouse
filed to overdowing with the best
thought OF genius in past and present.
Prof. Meakin has decidedly pleasant
personality. He is about medium heighth;
of strong moulded features, prominent
uOEc, ulSu anu picICluS cyCo
He is man from who you would expect
moth h"' ON 4 'ogic upon any point
and especially wsuA you expect to re-
ceive statements from him, which he
would defend against all comers; in
other words he would at all times have
the fiercest courage Of his convictions.
A voice which was resonant put him at
ease with his audience at once and the
time Of his speaking passed rapidly.
Following the lecture and an inter-
mission of ten minutes, Prof. Meakin
gave some dramatic recitals, in poetry
and prose and from the best authors.
He is great student of dramatic art,
and il he was not speaker would GER
tainly make decided success as trag-
edian.
