HOPES RUN HIGH.
British Public Looking For News OF n
Decisive Engagement.

British Public Looking For News Of n
Decisive Engagement.
LONDON, Feb. 19.-With General
Cronje in full retreat and General
Kelly Kenney harassing his rear, hopes
run high that a decisive action will oc.
cur, If it has not already been fought.
Dispatches from Jacobsdal confirm
this belief, saying General Cronje has
been obliged to ''out-span, in other
words form lager or camp, in order
to rest his oxen. This explains General
Kelly Kenny's latest dispatch referring
to shelling the lager, which also
brought long expected word of General
Ntchener's whereabouts.
That the general who so relentlessly
pursued the khalifa to his doom is super
vising the pursuit of General Comic
adds greatly to the confidence of the
nation, now so eagerly aw .4.ting further
newA If General Tucker, with the
seventh division, is able to effect the
projected junction with the forces of
General Kelly-Kenny, while the ninth
division, under General Colville, is rap
idly coming up from the rear, the hero
Of Khartoum should have sufficient
force to decisively engage General
Cronje and prevent him from reaching
Bloemfontein with an effective force.
Tremendous Military Activity.
Over the whole Modder river district
there is such tremendous military activ.
ity that it is hard to realize the area
covered or grasp the full meaning Of the
movements. The Beers, though re.
treating from Magersfontein, are active
elsewhere. A special dispatch from
Orange river, dated Friday, Feb. 18,
says they are attempting to cut the
British line Of communication at Gras
Pan, but it is said they are not likely to
effect serious result. They are, how.
ever, undoubtedly making strenuous
effort to cut the British lines to De Aar,
On the other hand comes the news
that General Macdonald has again oc.

What precautions Lord Roberts has
adopted against counter attacks are not
yet known, but the war Office and pub.
Tic are thoroughly convinced that he is

and that, if it is within human POSSIBLE.
ity, he will inflict the defeat on General
Cronje that is SO much more important
than the relief Of Kimberley, brilliant
as was the latter achievement.
While General Kelly enny's or,
rather, General Kitchener's dispatch re.
ferred to the Boer rear guard as being
General Cronje's, it is still doubtful if
that general is personally with it, and it
is possible he may be employing more
than one line Of retreat. The reported
capture Of large British convoy by the
\Boers is still not mentioned officially.

elsewhere On the Scene Of war. j.:

was not put upon stronger grounds
than that Senator Platt had given
this assurance. There can be no

RESU ERECTION OF ROOSE.
WELT.
His Candidacy Renewed and n
Stampede Created.

Philadelphia, June 17.-The
attention both of delegates and
other visiting politicians tonight
is concentrated OH the movement
in the interest of Governor Roose
welt as a vice presidential candi-
date. The Pennsylvania delega-
ton met early in the day and it
was soon announced that the state
delegation had taken n positive
position for the governor for the
second place on the ticket.
This announcement was soon
followed by tho statement, which
was made upon excellent author
ity, that Col. Quay and Sanator
Platt and others in sympathy
with them had held conference
last night and had decided upon
a plan OF campaign, which was
intended to bring Roosevelt TO
the front as a candidate, stampede
the convention for him and force
his acceptance of the nomination.
Among others who were taken
into the confidence of Quay and
Platt was national Committeeman
Saunders, who has been doing
Jealous work in bringing over the
intra montane state to the sup
port of ROosevelt's candidacy.
Senator Penrose, OF Pennsylvania,
and Senator WolcOtt, Of Colorado,
are both in the movement, and
the managers are claiming the
votes not only of the New York
and Pennsylvania delegates, but
Of California, Kansas, Nebraska,
Colorado, Indiana and Illinois,
as well as of many others. All
this, Of course, is upon the sup.
position that favorites sous will
be eliminated from the fight.
Col. Quay announced himself
as for Roosevelt, because of his
confidence that the governors
nomination would assure the sue
cess of the Republican ticket in
November, but there are those
and they are not enemies Of the
colonel-who announced the be
lief that his position is the result
OF antagOnism on his part to Sen
ator Hanna, chairman of the
national committee. 1t was also
asserted that Quay still remem
bered the fact that the Ohio
senator had cast his influence
against him in his recent effort to

The Alliance.

The county Alliance will meet
on Friday, July 18th, and it is
very important that all the Sub
Alliances hold meetings before
that time, pay their dues, and
elect delegates to that meeting.
We would suggest that some
one in each Alliance make it his
business to call the Alliances
together, especially those who
have been recently reorganized,
and those Sub-Alliances who
have grown little cold and
have not been meeting regular
ly. We are in a shape to do
some good work in the Alliance
if we can just get our people to
pull together. The principles
of the farmers Alliance are
broader than those of any other
secret organization of which we
have any knowledge and we
should study the principles and
practice them. Please don't
neglect to call the Subs together
and prepare for the county meet
ing in July.

Story of n Slave.

To be bound hand and foot for years
by the chains of disease is the worst
form OF slavery. George ID. Williams,
OF Manchester, Mich, tells how such q
slave was made free. He says: "My
wife has been so helpless for five years
that she could not turn over in bed
alone. After using two bottles OF EleC-
trio Bitters, she is wonderfully i'm
proved and able to do her own work"
This supreme remedy for female dis
eases quickly cues nervousness, sleep
lessness, melancholy, headache, back
ache, fainting and dizzy spells. This
miracle working medicine is a god

-Four were fed calf meal. when
two weeks old were fed Katfir
corn meal Gall that they could
eat up clean,) two months old
calves consuming two pounds
each per day. 1t was given dry,
never with the milk. They were
also allowed hay and other foods.
THE COST AND GAIN.
The station report says "The
13 COWS, while on skim milk,
gained $3.50 pounds. They were
ted: Skim milk, 32,511 pounds;
Kaffir sorn meal, 3,476 pounds ;
corn meal, 1872 pounds; soy
bean meal, 100 pounds; oil meal,
"A pounds; ground oats, 148 lbs;
bran, 536 pounds; Blachford's
calf meal, 1876 pounds; flaxseed
meal, rs pounds; mixed hay, 460
pounds, and green Alfalfa. 407
pounds. Kaffir corn meal was
fed to all the calves for the first
menth, as we found it superior to
any other grain. After the calves
became older corn meal was used
whenever it was more convenient
to get it than the Kaflir corn. AS
before stated, we found that the
nhafmiir JUIn meal cou>rd too great
a gain with the heifer calves, and
we were obliged to substitute
bran, soy bean and oil meals,
ground oats and the other feeds
mentioned. Our record of gains
m ,de and feed Consumed shows
that, to make 100 pounds Of gain
in this experiment, there was fed:
Skim milk, 997 pounds; grain,
1877 pounds; hay, II pounds;green
Alfalfa, u pounds. Valuing skim
milk at Is cents per 100 pounds,
grain at one half cent a pound,
hay at 80 ton and green Alfalfa
at s. a ton. reasonable prices on
Kansas farms, 100 pounds of gain
on the skim milk calves cost 50 so.
The 13 calves. while on the skim
milk, made an average daily gain
of % s pounds. |, l,quired two
hours a day to feel and care for
them. At 12t cents psr hour,
this woaId cost 25 cents a day.
This would make the cost OF labor
81 10 per 100 poun Is gain, and
the total cost Of feed and labor
SO go per 100 pounds gain. Did
it pay us TO milk? The calves
made as good gains as they would
if we had let them Iun with the
COWS. The So 60, cost of 100
pounds gam, was the additional
cost caused by milking. and must
be deducted from the amount re
ceived from the sale Of the milk.
Nine hundred and ninety seven
pounds of skim milk were re
quired for each 100 pounds of
gain. We sold 45.7 pounds of
butter fat from the whole milk
needed to make this amount Of
skim milk The creamery paid
an average Of Is cents a pound
for the butter fat, making 45.7
pounds worth Sc SO. Deducling
$3 60 from this, we have SO 26
left as the returns for the labor
of milking and delivering 100
pounds Of milk to the creamery.
If all the calves had been inten-
ded for beef, we could have fed
Kafiir corn as the only grain and
increased the gain.

calves weighed an average of 724
pounds each when l year old,
and the nine heifer calves weigh
