:Bloemfontein, "wednesday April II.
According to Information received
here Boer activity eastward Of the rail-
road and in proximity Of the border is
due largely to the fact that Kruger and
Steyn have, found they are unable to
keep the forces together in inactivity,
the burghers declaring they are un-
willing to remain with commands un-
less actively employed. as they are con-
vinced the British game is waiting
one. It is believed the Boer movement
was originally designed to oblige Rob-
.erts to weaken his forces at Bloemfon-
tein In order to protect the railroad,
when Beers would have attempted to
.recapture the capital. The burghers
are evidently ignorant of the enormous
forces Roberts has at his disposal. Ad-
vices from Karee Siding say the Beers
are busily entrenching the position east
of Brandford. running parallel with the
railroad while still holding the water

PHONE EXCHANGE MOVED.
REMOVAL MEANS MUCH TO
FIRE DEPARTMENT.
Central Office Is Now Located in
the Second Story of the
Engine House.

The telephone exchange has been
moved from its former location, in the
building of DR.. w. w. Farnum on Lee
street, to the engine house, the remov-
al having taken place the first part of
this week.
The fact that the exchange is now
at the engine house means much to
the fire department. Heretofore when
anyone sent in an alarm it was
necessary to first ring the exchange,
which then connected with the de-
partment headquarters. Now, howev-
er, no connections have to be made
and valuable time is thus saved.
In point of service Dawson has as
good an alarm system as could be Sc
cured by the expenditure of several
hundred dollars.
