lust recently another bit OF proof was
added to their staving qualities. While
up near the headwaters of Coal creek
with his pack of hounds about two
weeks ago MIR. Golf lost two of his best
dogs. and before coming home left worh
with James Henry to keep on the look
out for them. a Week later Mr. Henry
and his wife (whO is an expert in the
saddle while range riding heard dogs
barking. and tracing up the yelps found
the two dogs at tho foot of cliff or
rocks with mountain lion at bay above
them. Jimmie happened to have rifle
along. and he soon dispatched Mr.. Lion.
The dogs evinced signs of satisfaction
when the lion fell dead at their feet.
and joyously followed Mr.. Henry home
with the lion. The dogs were nearly
starved lone of them was so weak lie
could hardly walk and no doubt they
would have died in their tracks rather
than give up the lion. Mr.. Gnif had
about given up hopes OF ever seeing his
dogs again, and needless to add he was
pleased man when they were returned
to him Il day or two later when Mt.

BUSINESS FAILURE
Is Frequently Caused by the Worry
Attendant On Dyspepsia.

If you would win in the Battle Of Life
you must have a clear brain, keen
senses, perfect vigor, shrewdness, en-.
ergy and ambition.
Dyspepsia kills these ncedful quail.
ties. You can't succeed if you are con-
stantly tortured by dyspepsia or indi-
g%estion. But you can get rid of dys-
pepsia, indigestion, biliousness, sour
stomach, or any other ailrnent of stom-
ach or digestive organs by simply
taking one or two of Dodd's Dyspepsia
Tablets after each meal.
With a perfect digestion go a strong,
healthy body, a clear, capable brain,
vigor, ambition, determination, ener-
gy, activity. keen, alert senses. Dodd's
Dyspepsia Tablets ensure all these.
Dodd's Dyspepsia Tablets have new
er failed to cure any or all Of the dis
eases named when they have been
fairly tried. They cannot fail.
DR.. r. B. Strong, New York City,
writing in the American Journal of
Health, describes podd's Dyspepsia
Tablets as a remedy which could not
possibly be more efficacious though it
emanated from a council Of the leading
physicians Of the world.

British Cavalry Abandons the
Pursuit and Returns to
BlOemfOntein.

LONDON, May 1.-The latest news
received from the Orange Free State
indicates hat though the Beers have
evacuated Thaba N'Chu they have only
done SO in order to occupy stronger po-
sitions. On Sunday, April 90, General
Dewet made an effort TO turn French's
eastern flank, which was only foiled by
the cavalry after vigorous maneuvering.
The Beers hold the ridges to the east
ward, whence they will probably fall
back when the pressure Of superior
numbers increases.
The British casualties sustained dur
ing the Thaba N'Chu fighting were
slight.
General French's object, now that all
chance Of catching the main body Of the
burghers has disappeared, is to harrass
the Beers and prevent any well organ
lied retreat.
The agent Of julius We'll, at Mafe.
king, wrote under date Of April u,

satisfactory. He added hat the Boer
guns were firing heavily into the town,
and hat a determined attack had been
repulsed without casualties on the Brit
ish side.

Cape Town dispatch briefly announcing
the arrival from Natal of 25 officers and
252 men invaded home, and the sail

tween Thaba N'Chu and Ladybrand

tween Thaba N'Chu and Ladybrand is
40 miles and the veldt leads into a hilly
and even mountainous district. Lady.
brand, at the edge of B~asutoland, is the
natural point of concentration for OH.
vier's and Dewet's forces and can only
be approached by a British army in
strength. General Roberts plans are
not revealed by the dispatches. He can
either follow the Beers toward Lady
brand and then resume his advance
northward to Senekal, or he can make a
narrower wheeling movement from
Thaba N'Chu and throw the bulk Of his
forces between Winburg and Dewet's
and DIVERS commands. The condi.
tons Of his transport are unknown and
the direction Of the next movement OF
the British forces cannot be ~forecasted
with any degree of confidence. General
Roberts has cleared his eastern flank,
but he may be compelled to halt until
his transport is in order.

Oysters Are Very Prolific.

The oyster fourishes best at dapzh
anywhere from the surface OF the
water to 300 or 400 feet down. Here
the young fasten themselves to any
hard substance, and if sufficient food
is carried to them by the currents
they thrive, grow fat and multiply in
definitely. The rate at which the oys-
ter reproduces is something which
passes far beyond anything in the an
imal kingdom. Professor Brooks Of
the John Hopkins university has es-
timated that the average female oys-
ter in the Chesapeake bay will spawn
between April and October no less
than 100000 eggs, while the largest
specimens will spawn as high as co.
100000 in a single season. Of course
the percentage of these eggs which
are fertilized and hatch into living
spat which come to maturity is inde-
1initely small. Billions of the young
fry are eaten by the grown oysters.
Others die, while still others find a
suitable lodging-place, and, adhering,
commence to form protective shell.

the story is told of the feud betvspn
Thackeray and Edmund Yates, which
had its origin in the Garrich club,
where they were both members. Some
personal remarks concerning Thscke-

which Yates was then the editor, tho
former appealed to the club coss, H1sttso
to say whether such stuff was hst 81
tai to the conduct Of the club, and tn
tolerable in the society of aat&osnen.
In the Investigation which followed,
such eminent men Of letters as Charles
Dickens, Wilkie Collins, Samuel Loss.
and Palgrave Simpson all became In
volved in the row, which finally ended
in the expulsion of Yates from tho
club. Subsequently, Thaclzeray Is re-
ported by his biographer as kauan,s

Making superphosphate.

1t is not difficult matter. but it is
an exceedingly dangerous one to make
superphosphate of lime from bones.
This is on account of the extremely
acrid and burning nature of the sui
phuric acid used in the process, a sin
gle drop of which splashed into the
eye will destroy the sight utterly. 1t
is not advisable for other reasons. 1t
is more costly than to buy the fertil-
izer already made. 1t will be far bet
ter to use the bones in this way. Put
them in pit in the ground, mix them
with as much fresh burned lime as
will cover them as evenly as possible;
then pour on water to Stake the lime
soft. The lime will in a few weeks
soften the bones SO they may be
crushed easily.

Cavalier county people hear him, the

want to go for the low fare OF So 90 for
the round trip-less than the usual fare
for the one way.
The train will leave Langdon at seven
o'clock in the morning, stopping at
different towns along the line, reaching
Larimore at ten o'clock, where it will
connect with the special train from the
Churches Ferry branch and arrive at
Grand Forks at eleven o'clock. The
special train on which Bryan arrives
from Fargo reaches the Forks at half

AS there is every indication of being far
weather now it is expected that the
speaking will be in the open air, as

STRENGTH OF MAFIA.
Rich and Poor Alike Drawn Into Its

Rich and Poor Alike Drawn Into Its
Rome special correspondence OF Gin
cinnati Enquirer: The stringent steps
recently taken by the Italian govern
ment in the celebrated Notarbartolo
case. in order to run to earth the pes
tilent "Mafla." have once again drawn
attention to this most desperate of all
organized bodies of men-a society that
the government will fail to suppress.
To American ears, unaccustomed as
they are to that fearful thirst for ven
geance, that spirit of the vendetta
which still disfgures so much of Sunny
Italy. it is hard to explain the real
power and scope of the Mafiosi. Brief
ly, the Malta is species of Free Mas
onry of the lowest possible description,
the main objects Of which are the pro-
lection of all members who transgress
the laws. In other words. it may be
society, Of which the power is unlimit-
ed, and the tolls are everywhere. The
members of the Malta are legion, and,
strangely enough, more often than not
join against their own free will. The
rich man joins either to advance his
personal position, to carry on hered
itary fraud, or because it is intimated
to him that his influence and wealth
are necessary to the society. If he re-
fuses his crops suddenly take fire, his
cattle eat something poisonous, or he
himself is either found dead or IS car
ried by "brigands" into the mountains
and held for all the world like a
pledged article in pawnbroker shop
until a heavy ransom is paid. The
poor man, too, is equally bound to
throw in his lot with the Malta. Nor
can one wonder at his choice when We
recall the alternatives. Upon the one
hand his endeavors to earn an ho1est
living will be boycotted by practically
all his neighbours, and even by the Large
landowners and shoplleepers to whom
he may apply for work. Once lot him
join the brotherhood, however, ana no
matter what his crime he will DO pro
