Kootenai County Republican. (Rathdrum, Idaho) 1899-1903, 1900-03-09

Beers Trust In the Lord.
Until Thursday night official eonfirma-
ton OF the surrender was withheld from
the public. Kruger sent a religious appeal
with orders that it should be read by all
officers 10 the burglers, urging them to
stand fast and strive in the name OF the
Lord, for unless they had faith in Him,
oowardice would set in and their position
would be hopeless the moment they turned
their backs on the enemy. Their past
victories, he declared, showed that the
Lord was on their side The president be-
seeched the burghers not to bring destruc-
ton on their progeny.
Last stand In the TrnnsvaaI
Continuing, the special says that high
authority in Bloemfontein declares that in
the event of the repul-e Of Free State
forces, the latter will retire towards the
Transvaal and, united with their brethren
there, maintain the struggle to the last.
The Boer casualties at Colenso during
the week ending February 25 are reported
to be 81 men killed and l30 wounded.
Next Move In Doubt.
London, March 6-There are now
practically three British armies in the
field, one in the Free State, one in Cape
Colony and one in Natal. All that j.
known about the first and most important
is that it is in close touch with body
OF Beers, estimated to the number Of
about 5000 men. Speculation as to the
direction and method of Roberts advance
into the Free State is quite worthless, 50
carefully are the plans concealed.
In Cape COLONY.
In Cape Colony General Brabant and
General Clements command two horns Of
Boer force in check. Gatacre and Glen
ents will probably combine and advance
on Blocmfontcin with Brabant, guarding
the right flank with the mobile colonlals.
This movement will be subsequent to Sc
curing line Of communication along the
lines OF the Free State railroads, which,
according to the latest dispatches, seems
almost accomplished.
Relief of Mnfekine Come. Next.
As incident to the British main objec-
tive, which at least is clearly outlined to
be Pretoria, the relief of Mafeking by
force from the south may be expected
any day, Colonel Plumer's force on the
north seeming incapable of accomplish
ing it.
i The unexpected activity of the Cape
Dutch and the reported likelihood Of fight
ing between them and the Ba-utos aided
by other tribes having a grudge against
i the Beers, is regarded as rather ominous

ITEMS FROM
new CASTLE,

No fish we're caught off this city
Yesterday and many persons were
greatly disappointed as it was ex-
pectcd that the welLin would ring
with the shouts of ''Shad, oh! fresh
Delaware shad.
The catch made by Joseph Smith
on Saturday raised the expectation
of the fishermen to a fever pitch,
aud they hoped yesterday to catch
enough to supply the city.
Their hopes were blasted by the
wintry weather and they remained
at home or else at the headquarters
discussing at length the catch of
former years.
1t was learned that last season
but 50 shad were caught by the
fishermen Of this city prior to April
10th, while the men from this city
fishing in the Bay" had caught
about ten times as many. The lat
ter paid up for it later in the season
when the Bay fishermen ran away
behind the man who remained at
home. This was due in a measure
to the condition of the nets OF the
man who was anxious to make a
goOdlv sum by his catch of liah in
the "Bay.'
The catch of shad began about
April 10th and the season although
late prolited the men as we'll as
some of the earlerseasons as bet
ter price was received for the fish.
John Newlovc has resigned his
position in the Knowles Woolen
mills and will be succeeded by
James Doris.
Not in recent years has there
been such gathering as was seen
last night in front of the Star Hotel,
Councilman Gallagher, proprietor.
A gramophone the first to be heard
in this@citv was the attraction and
about 200 people stood in the rain
lietening to the different airs.
The monthly meeting of the Board
of Education will be held this even-
irg.
Charles II. Clewcll, funeral di-
rector, lost 4 valuable horse yester-
day. The animal broke its leg and
was killed to end its suffcrings.
Loss $50.
Captain Umstead, master OF the
sea going tug Navigator of the Bos-
ton Towboat and Transportation
Company, visited friends here yes
terday. In attempting to rea ch
this city the tug grounded on the
middle bar but finally worked her
way off. She had two barges laden
with coal for Boston. Captain I'M
stead is great favoritc with people
here especially fishermen as he at
