w. P. Schreiner, premier of Cape Col
ony, who is now threatening to resign
his Office, has had very difficult place
to fill during the British-Beef 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 the peace between
the peoples, and was more than once
called a traitor while negotiations
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 descent,
and was educated in England. He.

AT WAR WITH THE WORLD.
Chinese Forts Open Fire Upon Foreign
Fleets, Which Means a Big War.

China declared war against the
world Sunday when the Taku forts
opened fire upon the international
fleet. The accounts OF what took
place are still unsatisfactory, the best
semi-officlal Information 0eing the
dispatch received at Berlin from Ch,
Fee, as follows:
"rhe Chinese laid torpedUs in the
Taku river and collected troops from
Shan Hei KwaD. The foreign com.
manders assembled on the Russian
flagship and addressed an ultimatum
TO the commanders of the Taku iort>,
summonlng them to withdraw their
troops before 2 o'clock June II. At
am, June II, the guns Of the forts
opened fire, to which the Russian,
British, French and japanese war
ships replied. The bOmbardment last
ed seven hours. Two British ships
driven between the forts are reported
to have been sunk. The telegraph
lines and railroads between Tien Tsin
and Taku were destroyed. Communi.
cation by water is also threatened.
Later semi official dispatch from
Che Foo announced that the Taku
forts had been captured after COM
bined attack by the foreign warships.
Three men on the German warShip
Iltis were killed and seven wounded.
The dispatch added that the foreign
settlements at Tien Tsin we're being
fred into by the Chinese. When the
dispatch left nothing had been heard
from the German detachment sent to
Pekin or from the German legation
there.
The unofficial narratives coming by
way Of Shang Hal vary and bear evil
dence of supplementing the main
facts with guasswork. One dispatch
says that the Yorktown participated
in the bOmbardment. Another asserts
that American marines formed part
Of the storming forces Of 1000.

the profits he invested in more land.
Last Saturday he bought the twenty
sixth quarter section, making 4,l6O
acres he owns. He said today:
"Hhele Is not the scratch OF pen

1871 and took up a claim OF l6O acres

up buffalo bones on the prairie and
sell them TO pull through the first
winter. He says that one time he
lacked "a cent; OF enough to pay for
a few groceries anu it WAS several
weeks later before he got SO for a load
OF buffalo bones and was able to pay
the grocer the 25 cents. He owns
several sections Of land now and has
mUney loaned out.
The foregoing illustrates the large
profits made 10 growing wheat in this
county. Another illustration is furn-
lShed DY the following:
In 1897 Charles McAuley Of Pamela,
Ill.,, owned farm of 100 acres 10 this
county aud had tenant on it who
agreed to pay him one-third of the
crop for the rental. The tenant
SOwed 40 acres in wheat that year.
The books of Rem &NewbOld, agents
for Mr.. McAuley, show that the
rental money sent TO Mr.. McAuley
that year for his oLe-third interest in
the 40 acres of wheat was 81, Isl AZ.
Colonel D. c. Smith Of Normal, H.,
bought l60 acres in Sumner county IN
1893 and paid 81, 900 for it. He rented
the farm to be worked on shares, the
tenant to pay one-halt the value Of
the crop. Mr.. Smiths half from the
wheat crop in 1897 was 81, ,2S9, almost
half as much as he paid for the farm
originally.
Solomon Belsley had farm in
Roanoke, H., which was bringing him
$500 year in rent. He sold it FOR
$4,000 and paid $4,000 for section in
Sumner county and put it in the
hands Of Rem & Newbold to rent,
the latter agreeing to pay him 81, 800
rental the first year and to keep as
their commission all they could get iD
rental over that. The farm was let
to a man who planted wheat, agree
ing TO give the agents in rental one
third of the crop. That year one
third of the crop sold for 81, $40, and
the agents had $40 commission after
remitting Mr.. Belsley 81, 500

county, as a rule, are reinvestiDg

A misunderstanding seems to exist

is prevalent that these lands will be

is not the case. Briefly stated, the

follows:
The allOtments will be made within
the next six months. They will not
be made by specially appointed allot-
ting agents, but entirely by the special
agents of the interior department.;
those already government employees.
This will not be deviateG from 10 the
least degree. There is absolutely no
patronage in connection with the

the bill. The land will be opened to
settlement within six months from
the completion cf the allOtments.

The recently announced statistics
OF the Congregational church are uc
more satisfactory than those OF other
denominations which have been made
public of late. The denomination is
shown to be nearly stationary. For
the first time since statistics for the
whole country began to be collected,
there was net loss in churches. The
weekly organs Of the Congregational
church profess their inability to ac-
count for these unsatisfactory sta
tistics. What ever the causes are.
they are probably the same as are
operative in other churches that show
unsatisfactory growth or actual de-
cline, and as to these causes there is a
great diversity of opinion and none of
them is convincing.
