correspondent at Dreifontein, telegraphing
Sunday, says: 1.-THE fight throughout was
much involved. The enemy evacuated and
reoccupied positions, subtly concealing
their intentions and only Withdrawing their
guns few minutes prior to their impend-
ing capture. Their guns outranged ours,
the naval brigade not arriving in time. Our
cavalry horses were completely tired by
the repeated Withdrawals The turning
movement was begun too late. The enemy
attempted with heliograph to lure us to
occupy a kopje which they held. but de-
tecting the deception we returned"

amount that the blanket ballot cost in
the ninety-nine counties What good
did 1t do? The party would not grow
into anything in 1000 years. Might as
well chalk 1t up on the barn. He hadn't
votes enough in the county or state for

represented Just about the same kind
OF political futility. Woolley, prohibIs
5tlon, polled 1853 votes In this county;
Barker. peoples, Maloney. socialist
labor none; Debs, virtual anarchist, 5.
These five tickets are responsible for
Ave sevenths OF the great cost OF print

Up IN Arms Because the
Patient WINS sent 80 That CITY.
Des 1foines, Nov. 2l.-Burlington Is
up In arms because Of the discovery Of
g case OF smallpox where the injected
party had been shipped, into the city
from grading camp on the c., b. q q.
railroad at Alton Junction. Complaint
was made to the state board of health
thru letter written by the auhorities
at Burlington. The case has been re-
moved to an isolated place and every
thing possible done to prevent the
spread Of the disease.
The %" railroad was in no way re-
sponsible for the shipping OF the in-
fected patient for the reason that the
grading camp 10 not under the immedi-
ate supervision OF the road, and the in
fected patient was shipped as an ordi-
nary passenger, presumably upon the
first symptoms Of the disease being
manifested.
The health officer at Burlington wrote
the contractor in charge Of the camp,
one Vain, and DR.. Kennedy, OF the
state board of health, has also written
Vain, telling him the law in relation to
subjecting persons to exposure to an
infectious disease.
Ut is likely that DR.. Mc1lvane, OF the
state board OF health. Whose residence
is in Charlton, only short distance
from Alton Junction. will also be or
dered to make an investigation of the
camps along the 20. !"
From reports received at the Office of
the state board of health to the present
time there is a greater prevalence OF
smallpox than at this time last year.
There is every indication that the dis
ease will be even more general than
reported from an entirely different
