CAPE CoLONY's PREMIER.

Cape Colony's premier, w. p.
Schreiner. who is now threatening to
resign his office, has had a very diff
cult place to fill during the British
Boer war. As leader OF the Afrikander
element in the Cape, he was ~ostensibly
opposed to war. although doubtless in
sympathy with the Boer states. He
made many efforts to preserve tn peace
between the peoples. and was more
than once called a traitor while ne
gotiations were under way. AS to his
intellect, he is certainly clever enough
to have been for many years an adroit
and not entirely unsuccessful opponent
of Cecil Rhodes. Mr.. Schreiner was
born in Cape Colony. Is of Dutch de-
scent, and was educated In England.
lie studied at London and Cambridge
universities. and after taking his de-
gree returned to South Africa as q
barrister. Soon winning q reputation
for shrewdness, he became attorney
general Of Cape Colony when Rhodes
was prime minister. For a time he
wal Rhodes right-hand man and in
innate friend, but the jameson raid
caused a rupture which was never
healed, and the two men were long at

A London, May &c dispatch saws: The
latest intelligence from Lord Roberts
headquarters at Nrcdfort station. filed
Thursday. 5:45 p. m, was that the
British were rapidly advancing. Gem
eral Hamilton had effected a junction
with Lord Roberts. The country in
front of them was clear of Beers to
N%iljocn's drift. The Beers were cvac-
uating all their positions south of the
Naal river, and many had already
crossed to the north bank. Probably
General Frcnch's cavalry is already re-
connoitering the fords of the Naal.
War office observers expect that the
next dispatch from the field will be
dated across the Transvaal frontier.
Mr.. Bennett Burlcigh, wiring to the
Daily Telegraph from Vredefort Thurs
day morning, said Lord Roberts would
doubtless cross the Vaal river on sat
urday or Sunday. The British out
posts were then at Erste Gelul<, nine
miles north of Verdcfort and twenty
six miles south Of the Naal river. The
railway is much damaged.
While the British in overwhelming
force are thus rapidly approaching the
Transvaal, the movements of the Beers
are envcloped in mystery. The last

In appearance Simeon Ford is tall
and thin, with a solemn face. which he
knows full well how to keep under per-

was born in Lafayette, Ind. He studied
law for awhile, but his success was poor,
and he didn't bother with legal quips

Mr.. Ford Is the saddest when he Is

He Is n great deal like Mark Twain

like Artemus Ward. The nasal drawl

American humorist is his, and he

II Is q very serious matter with me.
You have to study the question about
which you are to speak from every
side, and 1t keeps you awake nights

THE idea prevails that all an after
dinner speaker has to do Is to assume
a full-dress suit and slowly rise up
when called upon and captivate the
audience with wit and e%loquence.

truth, he would acknowledge that for
two long, sickening weeks his wife and
children have been made wretched by
listening to ~recitals, and that he has

With the election of bishops and the

1t was expected that this question
would be settled before the close of

minority report of the committee.
Amid much confusion a motion was
made to lay IN the table the substi-

and a standing vote was called for.
The minority vote was laid on the
table by a vote of 365 to 2ss.
The majority vote of the committee

Work of Negro Murderer.
NO ATTEMPT IS MADE TO SAVE him
Dragged Through streets by Rome
Helpless Wretch Subjected to Every
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. OF city a wit
ness, But Appeals Unhecded

A Pueblo, May 30 special SAYS $ minutes
after Calvin Kimblern, the colored
murderer, reached Pueblo on a Denver
x Rio Grande train this morning his
almost naked corpse was being dragged
through the streets by as many men
as could lay hands on the rope around
ms neck, followed by a bowling mob
OF at least 5000 people. Not the slight
est attempt to protect the prisoner
was made by the half-dozen officers
having him in charge. In fact they
had drawn the charges from their
revolvers lest by any chance blood
should be shed in n feint at resisting
the mob.
As the train pulled into the Eighth
street depot Kimblern was pushed help
less to his feet out of the front end
of the smoking car and into the very
hands of the mob. A moose was cast
about his neck. Many hands at once
seized it.
Kimblern made but the slightest at
tempt at resistance. Heavy steel man.
acles bound his wrists and he wa
helpless. He was dragged face down
ward over the railroad tracks, the
moose frightened around his neck and
he was undoubtedly dead before he
was hanged to a telegraph pole two
blocks from the depot. Twice the
rope broke after the body had been
hauled up, but the third attempt at
hanging was successful.
Apparently. in the melee which at.
tended his capture from the train
somebody, either moved by mercy or
impelled by a desire to add n personal
atrocity to the tragedy, struck the
negro a blow on the side of the head
with a sledge hammer, ~inhicting IA
wound which must have caused in
slant un consciousness.
There were many well dressed wo-
men in the mob.
On the journey from Denver Kim
blern was fully aware of the fate that
awaited him, but he retained his COM
posure and smoked or slept much of
the time.

RECORD OF PAST WEEK
Report OF University of Nebraska wealth
err Burcau,

err Bureau.
The following is the weather rerort
OF the bureau at the state university.
The week ending May 22 has been cold
and cloudy. with heavy showers in
the southeastern counties and little
rain in other parts of the state. The
daily mean temperature has averaged
3 degrees below the normal.
The rainfall exceeded the normal in
n few southeastern counties, the
amount exceeding one inch in several
counties and exceeding three inches in
two counties-Richardson and Pawnee.
Little or nc rain fell in the remainder
of the state.
The heavy rain in the southeastern
counties rc.arded corn planting and
all work in the fields, but in the other
parts of the state the week has been a
good one for the advancement of
work on the farm. Corn planting has
progressed rapidly. and now most of
the corn is planted. Early-plauted
corn is coming up nicely, but the low
temperature of the week has not been
favorable for termination aud growth
of corn. Some fields of corn have been
cultivated.
Wheat and oats have grown well.
In the southeastern counties there is
a tendency to too rank growth, and in
the central and western counties rain
would be beneficial. Some alfalfa has
been cut in southern counties.
