There was an unconhrned rumor in
London just b.lore our last files closed
that General Butler had crossed the
Tugela river, captured twelve guns and
advanced on Ladysmlth. Inasmuc.. as
tue last previous reports had massed
the Beers behind the Tugela In posi-
lions of surprising strength, the rumor
must be taken with a grain Il allow
ance. At least that Is the prudent atti-
tude toward the news Of victory though
General Butler might easily have hurI-
g. himself against his enemies, how
ever strongly they were posted, in the
hope of retrieving himself before being
superseded.

The Spectator ia conspicuous among
the London journals by Its efforts to
persuade the United States that Great
Britain is its enemy. Lately it said
that Germany meant to interfere in
SCUM America and attack the Monroe
doctrine. Nothing could be more un-
likely. Germany knows very well tina
such a course might lead the United
States to join hands with France and
Russia and the risks of such a coalition
she would not take for twice what
South America has to offer.

The burning OF Chinatown paused
yesterday owing to the fatigue of the
fremen but it will probably go on to
day. We may add that it cannot pro-
coed too fast considering that the great
majority of fresh plague cases are
originating there. While the. plague
spot exists there will be Infection. The
only true course Is to destroy it and do
the work quickly.

Seeing how filthy Chinatown became
after 1895 it is a wonder there was no
recurrence of cholera. We have been
taking the risks of another visitation
all these years. The destruction of the
Asiatic district is needed, therefore,
not only to stamp out bu5onic p.ague
but to purge the town of conditions
which are liable, at any time, to bring
back the cholera germ.

John Payne was born in Aberdeen,

The specialist expressed the opinion
that the eye would be saved, but might
possibly be sightless. The skull frac-

speed of fifty miles an hour, As he
saw the lights the engineer threw on
seventy pounds Of air, opened the sand
ports and tried to stop the train and
thought it was going at a rate of thirty

The Omaha Bee publishes the fol-
lowing: Mr.. Berry and Miss Caldwell,
Of Sioux CITY, his niece, were strolling
along the river bottom east of the
house, through a beautiful natural
grove, when all at once they discovered
by the warning whirr of hundreds of
horny tails that they were in the
midst of a congress of r~attlesnakes,
that seemed to be in session as a COM
mittee of the whole for executive bust
ness. Mr.. Berry happened to have a
spade in his hand and with it laid
about him vigorously right and left.
Miss Caldwell assisted with a club.
When the battle was over they counted
256 dead rattlesnakes and half as many
blue racers. A great many of the
snakes had as high as II r~attles. They
were an extraordinary vicious lot, and
instead of attempting to escape came
~savagely at the intruders and fought
doggedly until the last one waG ex-
terminated. The ~rattles, which will
fill an ordinary cigar box, they cut of
and prize very highly as mementos of
an exceedingly perilous position.

TACK IN HIS LUN0.
Fer Seven Years IL Had Been There
Until He he'd 1t Up.

A boy II years old, a driver by occu-
patton. writes DR.. Andrew v. iowa Of
Newburg and complained of having
had a severe cough with expectoration
for seven years. Last April he said
that the cough had been worse for
three weeks; he was unable to eat ans
felt weak. He had a slight hemorl-
hage a few days before. The tongue
was thickly coated. Expectoration
was p~rofuse and fetid. Respiration. A;
temperature, 104 degrees Fahrenheit;
pulse, 146. Physical examination If
the chest showed, on the left side,
percussion normal; there was an
exaggerated respiratory murmur over
the entire lung, with slight rough
ness. On the upper side percussion
ives normal. The respiratory muir
muir was slightly bronchial. In the
lover part, especially over the back
and side, percussion a dull, and
thrre was almost complete absence Of
the respiratory murmur. Two or three
nights later he coughed up a tack

with rust and thick, dark mucus. On
the following morning the respiration
was 80; pulse, 100, and temperature,
1o2 degrees Fahrenheit. From over
the lower part Of the lung came a
gurgling sound and over a circum-
soribed space about two inches in d.
amstsr cavsrnous breathing. Three
days later the respiration, pulse and
temperature were normal. The patient
rapidly recovered and soon was able
to resume his occupation, but he still
coughs a little, and there is some dull
ness over the lower part Of the lung,
with broncho-vesicular breathing. His
mother say that seven years ago,
when he was 10 years old, he swal-
lowed a tack while playing. He had
experienced q slight choking sensation
at the time, but 1t soon passed away,
He had coughsd ever since, however
and she consulted several physicians
who ridiculed the idea of the tack and
told her the boy had bronchitis.-NsW

THE CONDUCTOR BLAMED.
Responsibility Placed for the Wreck
at Brighton.

The entire blame for the frightful
railway accident which occurred at
Brighton last Friday morning has been
placed on the shoulders of Conductor
E. w. McAllister of the Boulder accom-
mediation train, who lost his reason at
the scene of the catastrophe, says the
Denver News. The verdict of the cor
oner's jury in the case Of the death OF
wreck victims was returned yesterday
afternoon. The verdict reads as fol-
lows:
We, the Jurors, find that Winfield
Randleman came to his death at 5: SO
a. M, December 90, 1899, by being
crushed and burned in a railroad wreck
between Union Pacific trains No. 10
and No. 3, at or near Brighton station,
in Arapahoe county. Colorado. We
further find that the said wreck was
caused by the criminal carelessness of
Conductor E. w. McAllister in failing
to obey his orders in not protecting
the rear end of his train, No. Is.
against No. 8.
The names of the Jurors are: F. c.
Nunnely, B. L. Cove, Charles Pierson,
Jerry Winters and C. H. Gardner.
Attended by his family and DR.. r.
vine, the dazed conductor is slowly re-
covering his mental equilibrium. He ap-
parently remembers nothing about the
wreck and will not be able to give q
statement for some time to come.
McAllister is still ignorant of the fact
that the %coroner's jury has branded
him as a careless and unreliable man.
| He will not be told Of the verdict un-
til he has entirely recovered his lost
senses. His fellow employees gave
strong evidence against him at the in
quest yesterday, notably B. F. Strick.

HORSE CASE.
Orc Haley Secures Arrest Of E. Z
Crum for Grand Larceny.

A warrant was sworn out yesterday
by Ora Haley Of Laramie for the ar
rest of Elmer E. Crum, on a charge of
of grand larceny, that of stealing four
horses valued at 500 a head.
The Denver Republican today con-
tains the following account of the mat
ter:
Elmer f. Crum Is in the county Jail
charged with horse stealing, and the
sheriff of Albany county, Wyoming, is
expected to arrive today and take him
back to Wyoming. Crum brought two
car loads of horses from Laramie and
sold them yesterday morning to F. E.
Smith at IS a head, throwing in the
colts and also the freight to the Mis-
souri, river. Before any money was
paid c. F.. Hartman, the local inspector,
and H. c. Harding, representing the
Texas Cattle Raisers' association, look
ed over the bunch. The fact hal Crum
had no bills of sale for the horses was
the first suspicious circumstance, but
when it was found hat six of the hors-
es did not bear the marks he had claim
ed, the inspectors at once arrested
% years of age, well dressed and OF
good appearance. He says he has a
partner in Laramie who owns part of
the stock, but does not give the name
of the partner, and is cry reticent
about himself.
A telegram was sent to Sheriff Yund
Of Albany county and he said he would
start for Denver at once. The price at
which the horses were sold, IS per
head, would leave the young man just
about 81 for each animal. The freight
on the bunch to the Missouri river
would be about 81 for each horse. All
the animals have not yet been examin-
ed for brands. The hair is long and
many Of the marks cannot be distinct
ly made out until it is clipped. Six
have been examined and are found to
have Ora Haley's brands. The officers
say they are at a loss to connect the
young man with any organized band Of
thieves. They have no description that
fits him. They believe, from the size
of the shipment, that he has more than
one a%ccomplice and that he may be
merely a young fellow picked up to
sell the stock for some gang.
Sheriff Yund and Ora Haley went to
Denver last night and it Is expected
that Sheriff Yund will return tonight
Or tomorrow morning with his man.
