French Captain Praises Beers.

Paris, April 25.-Capt. Leon, the
French engineer who had charge Of the
Boer artillery and engineers, and who
was shot in the head during tho siege Of
Kimberley. arrived at Marseilles today.
His head is still bandaRed and the sight
OF the left eye is lost. He says the Beers
are splendid artillerists He said they
never had more than from 5000 to 49,
600 men under arms, and of these they
had lost only 5000 Of whom Only 900 had
been killed.
"In my opinion" said Capt Loon, "un-
less the Beers win an important victory
near Blsemfontein, they must be beaten
in the end. and although Pretoria could
Withstand long siege, because it still
possesses canon and emplacements for

the plan of the Beers is to take refuge
in the mountainous region to the north,
which ID. practically inaccessible, rather
than to defend Pretoria. at the risk of
heavy loss of life and the exposure OF the
fire Of the British. Even when Great
Britain declares the Transvaal annexed,
the Beers will never yield. and an army
Of 15O 900 will be needed to occupy the

Beatrice, Nebr April 25.-A cyclone
passed southeast OF town this afternoon

tho cloud was funnel shaped. and at the
latter towns. many people went to their

Militarism and war taxes In time Of

the democracy, which will stand this
year as alwavs for stable and economi-

foreign alliances.
The trusts and unlawful combinations

lately been located at Ell Paso, on the
line OF the Santa Fe. is an arrival in the
city from Los Angeles where he spent

California may suit some people but all
in all this valley has the most equitable
climate he has experienced in all his
travels, which have covered a goodly
portion of the country since leaving
here.

olive orchards look very pretty in Cali

Will Organize.

There is a movement on foot to organ
izs first class base ball team in this
city for the coming summer.
Three years ago a first class ball team
was in existence in this city, which add
cd greatly to the sports OF the summer
period. So few sports are possible in an
inland city whore there are NO large
bodies Of water, that anything in the
way Of sport is worthy Of consideration.
For the past several years Glenwood
Springs has maintained a ball team
which has earned for itself state repu-
tation. They have successfully met
teams from all parts Of the state and
have finished twice second in the state
contest for championship.
Whenever this city has attempted to
place q team in the field they have had
no trouble whatever in competing with
the best state teams. There 10 ample
material here now, even bett ter than aev-
eral years ago, from which first class
team could be made up.

There were plenty OF waltzes and two
steps, feature whish was welcomed by
everyone present.
The proceeds were very fair, and the
boys rejoiced that it was 80 a. it added
quite . neat little sum to The uniform
fund, which has already assumed fair
sized proportions. The band realizes
that uniform is necessary attribute
in the opinion Of the public, and that it

John P. Reese, of Abba, president of

in the city this morning enroute to

ing little matter of minor Importance
between the operators and miners,
relative to the question of the scale

Mr.. Reese said this morning that
everybody is working steady and that
there is no trouble among the miners
in Iowa. Every camp in the state is
organized and working under the Des
Moines agreement, both sides living
up to the terms thereof.
Mr. Reese said there is not non
union miner in the entire state, with
the exception of few at the smaller
mines. The state convention will be
held in Ottumwa sometime next Feb
ruary, and as soon as the date is def
nltely settled, the local miners will
begin at once to plan for a big demon
stration the day proceeding the open
ing of the convention. Special trains
will be run to Ottumwa from all parts
of the state, providing arrangements
can be made The Des Moines papers
recently reported Mr.. Reese as saying
that the miners convention would be
held in that city, but Mr.. Reese said
he had never been interviewed by a
reporter from the paper which first
printed the statement, and that there
was absolutely no truth in it. Every
miner knows that the convention is
to be held in Ottumwa, and it is ex
pected that the meeting next February
Will be the largest gathering of miners
ever held in this state.

A War That is Over,

Events in the Philippines in the
last year have probably induced
General Otis to re consider his an
nouucement that the war i'll the
islands is over. IF he has not come
to this conclusion we are afraid he
is more obstinate than even those
who know him best say is the case.
But General Otis is not the only
warrior who has been compelled to
revise his judgment. General LORD
Roberts took occasion not so very
remotely to convey the glad tidings
homeward that the Boer backbone
was broken, and it was merely a
question of gathering up the trag-
ments. For an enemy with broken
backbone we confess to considerable
surprise at the activity displayed
The latest tidings from South AZ
rica are to the effect that DeWets-
dorp garrison, 400 men in all, has
surrendered to the foe with the frac-
tured spinal column, the British
losses being fifteen killed and forty
two woun1ed, including major
and captain.
BY this time we should think
General Otis would have cabled
Lord Roberts, "Shake ! "-Pahi0k
