Prayed for Rain.

Royalton Banner: All business
was suspended among the Catholics
in the town of Buchanan last Mon
day morning andthe faithful gathered
at the church and prayed for rain.
No rain had fallen since April 26 and
the ground was as dry as an ash
heap and the crops were dying for
want of moisture. Similar services,
we learn, were held in otherlocalities
throughout the county. Well, their
prayers were answered it, seems, for
at night the sky became overcast
and slight shower fell. 1t cleared

commenced to rain again but the
down pour was OF brief duration and
not of sufficient quantity to be OF
much benefit to the crops.

Date Now Set for Roberts Arrival at tho
Transvaal Capital.
NEW YORK, May ga dispatch from
London to The Tribune says: The re-
treat Of Botha forces from the Rhenos-
ter to the Vaal serves to convince mill
tary men that the end Of the war is rap
idly drawing near. This is without
doubt the official view, although nobody
connected with either the war Office or
the Headquarters staff is willing to be
quoted to that effect. The date for the
occupation Of Pretoria which is usually
named among officials is June Is. 1t is
assumed by them that there will be no
delay either in the passage of the Vaal
or in the occupation Of Johannesburg,
since General Roberts, with his supe-
riority of numbers and his strength Of
mounted force, can turn the Beers out
of every defensive position which they
may attempt to hold. They expect to
see the British flag flying over johann
nesburg by the end Of another week,
and Pretoria under siege early in June.

MEMORIAL EXERCISES.

The plans for the observance of
Memorial day in this city were be-

avoidably, but ARRANGEMENTS are
now we'll underway, and Indications
point to the usual appropriate ex-
ercises in every detail.
The committee appointed to secure
a speaker has been successful, and
Rev. A. H. Carmen, pastor of the
Baptist church, will deliver the me-
mortal grafton. Mrs. w. M. Fuller

The Tagging Logs.

Minneapolis Lumherman: Log
prospects in this state are just now
anything but bright. This week
will see the Minneapolis mills with
three exceptions closed down for
lack of logs. Sorting logs to the
mills ceased temporarily last night.
1t will be thirty days before the rear
Of the next drive is in the city though
probably not so long before sufficient
logs are at hand to set the mills to
going. Many of the mills down
river are closed for lack Of logs or
will soon be closed. The West New
ton sorting works will close tomor-
row until such a time as the Chip
pewa river shall rise again.
All white pine logging streams are
abnormal1y low. Boommaster
Webb, who drives the river from
Brainerd to Minneapolis, has not in
his seventeen years. service on the
river seen it SO low at this season OF
the year. Old settlers along the
river say this the lowest May water
in their memory, which in one in
stance covers forty years.
A matter Of qualification to lum-
bermen this year is the better inter-
est taken by the Federal government
in helping out logging by opening
the government dams to float logs.
Hitherto these dams unless
threatened by high water, could not
be opened until midsummer and
then with reference primarily to mer-
chant and steamboat navigation.
Since the War department has been
enlightened by. the northwest con-
gressional delegates on the import
ance OF logs as compared with steam
boats, logs are being given the bene-
fit of official fiushings. Cross lake is
being turned into the Mississippi at
the rate OF $50 cubic feet per second
and Sandy lake at the rate OF 1000
per second. This water ia all that
makes driving on the river now even
comparatively easy.
Unless the dry weather that delays
the logs shall kill the crops and so
cut off demand in like proportion to
supply, the present drouth may be
regarded by lumbermen as a blessing
in disguise.

THE ElGHT-HOUR DAY,
Industrial Commission Favors Its Adop-
ton in Public Employments.

Industrial Commission FavOrs Its Adop-
ton in Public Employments.
WASHINGTON, May 26.-The indus.
trial commission in its report to con-
gross of labor legislation, recommends
improved legislation to the state legisla-
lures rather than to congress directly.
1.-THE subject of greatest public inter.
est today" says the report, lis perhaps
that Of the regulation of the hours OF
labor permitted in industrial occupa-
tions and especially in factories"
rs congress has no power to legislate
directly in this matter, the commission
recommends that simple statute be
enacted by all the states regulating the
length Of the working day for all per-
sons between the ages Of IA and 81
years who work in factories.
The report in brief, says:
1.-THE employment of children below
the age of IA should be prohibited in
factories. The length Of the workday
In all public employments
Should Be Fixed ut Eight Hours.
The same time should be fixed for
workmen in underground mines, except
In cases Of emergency. Employment in
mines of children less than IA years of
age and all women and girls should also
be forbidden. Congress might well
enact that no person under 10 should be
employed as a telegraph operator on
railroads, and that all engineers and
switchmen should submit to an exami-
nation for color blindness; also that it
be made misdemeanor for an engineer
or switchman to be intoxicated while
on duty. A simple and liberal law reg
ulating the payment Of labor should be
adopted by all the states, providing that
all laborers shall be paid in cash orders
without discount, not in goods or due
bills, and that no compulsion, direct or
indirect, should be used to make them
purchase goods at any particular store.
"Provisions for the fair weighing of
coal at mines before it passes over a
screen should be adopted, and the mi
ners should have the privilege of en-
ploying check weighman at their own
expense"

From the Line.
EMBARGO IS COMPLETE
No News Of Any Kind Allowed
to Leave Pretoria Except
by Word of Mouth
These Oral Reports Say Boers
Are Quarreling Among
Themselves.

LONDON, May 26.-The latest intelli-
aence from Lord Roberts headquarters
ut Vredsfort Station, fled Thursday,
was that the British were rapidly I'D.
vancing. General Hamilton had ef-
fected junction with Lord Roberts.
The country in front Of them was clear
of Beers to Viljoens drift. The Beers
were evacuating all their positions
south of the Vaal river and 5000 had
already crossed to the north bank. Prob
ably General French's cavalry is al.
ready accommodating the fords Of the
Vaal.
War Office observers expect that the
next dispatch from the field marshal
will be dated in sight Of the Transvaal
frontier. Mr.. Bennett Burleigh, wir-
ing to Tho Daily Telegraph from Vreds-
fort Thursday morning, said Lord Rob-
erts would doubtless cross the Vaal
river on Saturday or Sunday. The
British outposts were then at Erste
Geluk, miles north of Vredsfort and
26 miles south of the Vaal river. The
railway is much damaged.
Mystery Envelopes Boer Movements.
While the British in overwhelming
force are thus rapidly approaching the
Transvaal, the movements Of the Beers
are enveloped in mystery. The last
Pretoria newspaper to reach Lourenzo
Marques was week old.
Everyone seeking to cross the Portu.
guese border from the Transvaal is
searched for newspapers and letters.
Dispatches and mail letters containing
even harmless references to the war are
suppressed; the only news that has
emerged from the Transvaal during the
last 10 days has come by word Of
mouth.
3! According to these oral reports the
Beers were quarreling among them
selves. Krouse and Klinke, the en-.
gineers who opposed the blowing up of
the mine, have been dismissed. Com
mandant Schultz has been appointed to
defend Johannesburg, and all the Brit
ish subjects have been turned out.
1t is asserted that President Kruger
will retire to Lydenburg when fighting
