London, May 2.-Fighting, heavier
than any since Ladysmith, seems to be
immincut near Thaba N'Chu. The dis
patches OF Lord Roberts, dated Mon
day and Tuesday, show that the Boer

vance, forced the British on Saturday
and Sunday TO act chiefly on the de-

The long -drawn-out indictment OF the
republican form Of government as cs
tablished by the fathers and as logically
and broadly developed BY their sons,
drawn up blythe populist convention at
Sioux Falls, might be simplified by this
brief statement: " Resolved, That we are
opposed to everything as it now exists

CONCERNING AND coAxING.

democracy are singing softly to those

press bulletin of the democratic nation
al committee issued GONE time last
month and see how these same recall

warned off. The democratic committee
declared that:
There are some men in many states;

The best illustration OF the benefit Of
forced draft, where the machinery has
been under the charge Of competent
men, is the case of the Oregon at SAN
tiago. Milligan's men had frequently
been exercised in the use OF forced
draft appliances. so that when the vi.
tai moment came for which they hod
been waiting since the journey from
the Pacific began in March they were
ready; and in less than half an hour
after the signal was given for full speed
the great warsh!p was driving ahead
under the impulse OF oil the power in
her great machinery. and carrying her
guns forward to insure the destruction
of cervera's fleet. The man behind

mARsHALLToWN,s MISFORTUNE.


The city of Aiarshalltown is suffering.
one of the most disastrous panics that
ever fell upon a prosperous community,
and the worst part of it all is that the
public scare is largely unnecessary.
MarshalltoWn, like nearly every other
city in Iowa, had smallpox among its
citizens, and being place of some 81
900 inha bitants the number of cases
when recounted in detail seemed large,
4 but at no time had the city been cursed
With greater proportion of cases than
many of its neighbors A Very mild
form of smallpox exists all over Iowa,
Very few towns being. exempt. but by
taking rigid measures for isolating the
cases and saying little about them the
business of the towns has not been in-
terrupted.
In A1arshaltowa, however, somebody
was careless. The mayor could not
agree with the council, which disorgan-
lied things. The disease was 80 mild in
form that people did not fear it. Pa
tients, not being properly guarded, ccm-
municated the disease to their careless
neighbors, and from six cases in Janu-
airy the epidemic grew until tilirty-one
houses Were Guaranteed. At no time
has there ever been more. Under these
circumstances the change was made in
smallpox physicians, a new man. COM
parativeiy young in the profession, took
hold, and all a once set a match TO the
highly colnbustihleSa somewhat ex-
plosive material composing the city
board Of health. The sults5were awful.
At midnight last Saturday night a
sweeping ordsr was passed closing all
places Of public gathering. BY Sunday
noon every town in Iowa was listening
to stories about the awful conditions in
Narshalltown, 200 cases We're said to
exist. with even more deaths and trains
We're said TO pass the town at seventy
miles an hour With smoke stacks Stop
ped UP. Itdid no good to publish this
paper the state board of health's state
ment that but thirty places We're quar-
antined in this city and no deaths had
resulted. The people were scared and
MarshalltoWn suffered. Thursday the
local board had found the situation vel
in hand and decided TO open all places
4 for publ gatherings next sunday Tit
physicians of the city all agree that the
public is. in no danger on the streets 81
Marshalltown. but the effects OF the
panic will be felt for a long time.
II the public would reason a moment
it would realize that runors are manu-
featured for business purpose Ninety
nine times out OF a hundred they airs

been just one death in five months OF
smallpox, and that a small baby unable
to Withstand an attack OF any disease

antine measures of Saturday night pu

The sales of The weed on the local

to the fact that the principal sale

as quoted for the past two weeks
on these grades. Prices on lugs
were a shade stronger and consId-
