Sedalia, Mo, April 4.-Thirty five
years ago Senator " illiam A. Clark
OF Montana taught school winter
in this county. When he left here for
Montana he owed William Beck, a
merchant, $13, which was to be re-
mitted when Clark was able. The
village teacher was lost sight of by
Beck until the Montana senatOrship
contest case was taken up, when it
was published in the press dispatches
that Clark once taught school here.
A few days ago Beck addressed a let
ter to Senator Clark, reminding him
of his S13 Indebtedness, and to-day
a reply was received, inclOsing a check
for $160. which covers the amount of
Beck's bill and interest to date.

London, April 6, a. m.-The scene
of hostilities in South Africa has
again shifted for the moment. the Ell
gagement last reported having oc-
Cured in the vicinity of Mafeking
| According to advices from Louren-
20 Marquee, spirited fighting was in
dulged In on April ,. 1t appears
that the British garrison at MAIZE
king made sOrtie just as Col. Plum
er's force attacked the burghers at
Ramathlabama.
The attacking forces were in each
case repulsed, twenty of Plumbers
men being left dead on the field,
while six Others were taken prisoners.
The latter included Capts
Crew, Decentralization and Nc
Laren, the first two having since
died. Staff officers Cecil and Graz =
vile are also prisoners. As Cecil was
a member of Plumbers force, it is
not probable that Lord Salisbury
son was captured, as the latter is
known to have been shut up i'll MAIZE
king with Baden-Powelfs troops.
| The Boer casualties are said to have
been light.
The burgher's victory at korn
Spruit proves to have been more
costly to the British than at first
supposed. In addition to the large
number of casualties, it develops that
the Beers captured valuable secret
papers. These disclose the British
plans of 1S97-S-9, in which the in
vasion of the Free State and Trans
wallis outlined in detail. Among
Others, scheme for reaching Johan-
nesburg via Mafeking by way of Dr.
Jameson's route is presented, of
course eliminating the mistakes made
by the famous raider. Another plan
is submitted, providing for a march
from Bloemfontein to Kroonstad via
Brandfort.
President Steyn, of the Free State,
has not dispaired OF the.ultimate sue
cess of the federalforces. Addressing
the Raad, he declared that the bur
ghers would yet triumph, notwith-
standing the fall of Bloemfontein. He
said the war was being waged for in
dependence, and had been conducted
by the Dutch armies in manner that
had excited the wonder and admira-
ton of the civilized world.
In the course of the proceedings in
parliament yesterday. it was stated
that 1000 more Boer prisoners would
| be sent to ST. Helena. 1t was also
asserted that more Dutch captives
had died on land at Simonstown
than aboard vessels in the bay

certainly looks now as if there was
something serious in the pertinacity
in which the Occidental press has
been insisting on a war between the
two countries as impending in the
near future. In the last few days it
has been definitely announced that
the Russian method of insinuatior
has been applied to Korea in the

WARNING ISSUED.
Marine Hospital Services Advice TO
State Authorities.

The Marine Hospital Service is
urging state authorities TO adopt
vigorous measures to check the
spread OF smallpox.
Evidence goes to show that in a
mild form the disease has gained a
strong hold in localities where it has
not been recognized 1t has been
called chickenpox, Puerto Rico chick
enpox and Cuban itch. It's appear
ance is attributed to returning sol
diers. An official warning sent out
by the government is as follows:
If an eruptive disease appears in
a district it is the duty of the author
tiles to learn the nature of that dis
ease, and if it seem contagious it
should be isolated. Ii any doubt ex-
lists. an expert should be called to set
t" tie diagnosis.
All cases OF so-called chickenpox.
Cuban itch, elephant itch and the
ike should be at once isolated. In
nine out of ten cases these prove to
be smallpox"
Within a few weeks there have been,
according to estimates OF the Illinois
board Cf health, l 900 cases of small
pOx in that state. Kansas reports
437 cases of smallpox in February.

number Of the New York Medical Jour-
nal to express his thanks of DR.. II.
Wilson's article on "The Instruction
of the Hospital Corps" says: Il have
been located for the past twelve years
In the anthracite coal regions, where
we have great many accidents.
These accidents often occur one or two
miles under ground, and the injured
man has either to be transported in
q slow-moving mule car or carried by
hand on a litter up and down inclines,
winding in and out over rough places,
Even when the surface is reached, he
has further to be transported in an
ambulance to his home or to the hos
pital, over several miles of rough,
roucky mountain road. His wounds
have probably been bound up, more
over, with a piece of dust-laden, oil
saturated coat sleeve, and tobacco ap-
piled to stop the flow of blood; so
you see that by the time medical aid
has reached him he has lost a great
amount of blood, his jagged wound is
his vital forces are weakened, making
his recovery tedious, If not doubtful.
Or, IL he has merely sustained a sim
pie fracture, he has been so shaken
up that the fragments of bone have
torn and lacerated the surrounding tis-
sues, thus adding to the shock, in
creasing the internal bleeding and
sometimes making a compound out of
simple fracture. This condition /
have seen again and again, and / have
(nown several cases in which men have
hled to death from moderately severe
wounds through not receiving intelli-
'cnt and prompt aid. So, some three
ironths ago, l organized a First Aid
rociety among the miners of our col
liary, consisting of twenty-five men,
FIVE men from each gangway of the
mine. Each man is provided with a
frst-aid packet ond instructed how to
use it. but, as the textbooks on sur
