The above is fairly good picture
of John ID. Long, the Secretary of
the Navy, who is just now receiving
quite a boom for the Republican
nomination for Vice President on
the ticket with Mckinley He is
from New York and the Republi.
cans recognize the necessity for car.
rying that State in order TO elect
their ticket and Long is supposed
to be popular enough to do it.
Governor Roosevelt has been offered
the nomination several times but
refuses to run for Vice President as
he wants the whole hog or none and
is candidate for Governor again
and expects 10 get the nomination
for President in 1904, as he
recognizes that Mckinley will be
nominated again this time at the
Philadelphia Convention.

At n Late Hour Last Night IA List of

LONDON, Dec. 22.-Since Lord
Kitchener's despatch Of Wednesday
last reporting the crossing Of the Or
ange river into Cape Colony by two
bands of Beers, nothing official con
corning events in South Africa has
reached the public. Last night the
received from Cape Town that the
railway had been torn up in three
places north of De Aar A column of
five hundred of all arms, under com
mand of Major Shute. left Colesburg
December 18th by the Philipston road
to relieve a post OF twenty yeomen
who were invested on a farm at Ham
elfontein The Beers had been beaten
of by the Yoemen before the reliev-
ing column arrived. Two wounded
Beers were captured. They stated that
their party had lost two killed and
twelve wounded
A Standerton dispatch dated Deem
Der 18th says a sharp encounter took
place with two parties Of Beers near
kalk5pTuit. ten miles south Of the
railway. One of the Boer party num-
bered 300. Both were routed after OBJ
stinate resistance. One retired in the
direction of Grobersaar's drift and the
other toward VilliersdoTp. 1t is sup
posed that they lost severely. The
British force lost two wounded and
captured a quantity Of live stock and
forage.
Many people of all classes gathered
about the War Office last evening,
anxious for the welfare Of friends en-
gagged in the war and especially for
that of those connected with the regi-
ments which were engaged in the
Nooitgedacht battle.
At late hour a list Of the casual
ties to non commissioned officers and

COURT HOUSE REMOVAL
is SOON AGAIN TO ACETATE THE
PEOPLE OF BELMONT COUNTY
OHIO.
A MOVEMENT HAS STARTED
To Transfer the Seat of Government
From st. ClairsviiIe to Beliaire.
How it Originated-The Estimated
Cost of Changing the County Seat
to the River Front.

An old fight in the county of Belmont
is likely to be resumed soon, 1t was
thought to have been settled about four
teen years ago, but has broken out anew
1t is the old question that has caused
many counties a large amount Of trouble
where the county seat will be located.
When the present court house, located
at St. Clairsvile was built, there was
warm fight all over the cOunty, but the
city on the Kills won and the handsome
structure was built near the site Of the
old one at cost of many thousands of
dollars but it has always been contended
that it should have been built on the
river front, where the most business
comes from. For years there has been
grumbling, but no definite steps have ever
been taken and the people have put up
with the difficulties of reaching this town
for many years
Now they have commenced TO realize
how announcement St. CIairsviHe is. and
how much better it would be if situated
on the river front. no one can doubt
this Judgment and it il thought it will
meet with the approval Of the whole coun
ty. The present movement was started
during the recent court session. when men
from all over the county, who in the
evenings talked it over with the witnesses
who were held there, agreed that the re-
moval to the river front would be a
good thing.
The interested persons even went so
far as to consult d party as TO remov-
ing the building TO Bellaire and after
some consideration his estimate of cost
was given at fifty thousand dollars
Bellaire offers better accommodations in
hotels. a good opera house, accessibility
to Wheeling, Bridgeport and Martin 5
Ferry, better train service out Of the city
both day and night
1t is understood that GAINESVILLE is
anxious to see the removal to the river
front. as r. also the western part Of the
county. which was instrumental in get
ting the building at St Clairsviue.
OF course. Martins Ferry ana Bridge
port will put up claim for the build
ing. and most probably an will offer free
sites in order to get the court house and
become the county seat. The new move
is business one. and is backed by men
who know how TO manipulate the wires
in politics TO produce the result. The in
dependent ticket which is being much
talked of. will support this move, but the
promoters reach the climax OF the situa-
