A STRANGE ROMANCE.
That Connects New York of To-Day
with Evvpt of 3.ooO Years Ago.

That Connects New York of To-Day
with Egypt OF 5000 Years Ago.
A strange romance of history, con-
Meeting one of the oldest of lands and
civilizations with the youngest of great
nations and the most advanced system
of government, finds its setting in New
York. Three thousand years ago
Egypt was one day thrown into a state
of excitement by the birth, at the i'm
perial palace, of princess of the royal
line. Not alone was there rejoicing at
the advent into the world of future
queen, but the father of the infant, the
great Thothmes III, caused to be be-
gun the hewing of an immense obelisk
out of solid rock to commemorate the
event. Years went by and the maiden
blossomed into beautiful womanhood,
while the obelisk was being worked
upon by hundreds of skilled toilers.
When it was at last finished and set
up before the royal palace at Heliop-
oils she spent days in watching the
strange hieroglyphics being cut upon
IL. Nearly all tudI VIC hhOW VI lh0
history of the world has occurred since
then, and yet today, after lapse OF
thirty centuries, the body of that
Egyptian princess, perfectly preserved,
lics in state in the museum in Cen
trail Park, and not 200 feet away stands
the hoary obelisk as If keeping guard
over her remains. Thousands of miles
from their former home, these remind
ers of the glory of dynasties now but
a half-forgotten tradition of the re-
mote past are strangely reunited. The
obellsk is generally known as Cleo
patra's needle" while the mummy Of
the princess, whose name was Ne
fereyt, rests on sarcophagus in the
museum.

A MINNESOTA FARMER
Does Well In Western Canada.

Virden, Man., Nov. IS, 1899.
Hon. Clifford Sifton, Minister of the
Interior, Ottawa, Canada-Sir: Think
Ing that my experience in Manitoba
might be both useful and interesting
TO my fellow-countrymen in the United
states who may be looking to Mani
toDa and the northwest with the in
tention OF settling there, have much
pleasure In stating that through in
formation received from Mr.. w. II.
McCreary, immigration commissioner
at winnipeg, | was induced to visit
Manitoba In February, 1898. When
called upon Mr.. McCreary he spared no
pains to give me all the information,
etc, In his possession, the result OF
which was that l came here with a
letter OF introduction from him to tho
secretary of the Virden Board or
Trade. That gentleman provided me
with a competent land guide, and.
although there was considerable snow
on the ground, l had no difficulty in
selecting three homesteads for myself
and sons. Having made the necessary
homestead entries at the land Office in
Brandon, l returned to my home in
Lyon county, Minnesota, and came back
here in May following, accompanied
by one of my boys, bringing with us
two teams of horses, implements, etc.
Our first work was to erect a tempo
rary shanty and stable, after which
we broke and leveled seventy-fiVe
acres and put up thirty tons OF hay.
/ went back to Minnesota about July
20, leaving my son here. l returned
In October, bringing my family with
me. / found that the land we had
acquired was of good quality, being
a strong clay loan with clay subsoil.
Last spring l sowed 100 acres in wheat
and fifty acres in oats and barley.
(Seyenty-five acres of this grain was
sowed on "go-back' plowed last
spring. My crop was thrashed in
October, the result being over 200
bushels Of grain in all. Wheat aver
aged fifteen bushels per acre and
graded No. l hard, but that which was
sown on land other than sod ego
back'O went twenty four and one-half
bushels per acre.
To say that l am well pleased with
the result of my first years farming
operations in Manitoba does not ade-
quately express my feelings, and l
have no hesitation in advising those
who are living in districts where land
is high in price to come out here, il
they are willing to do a fair amount
Of work. l am ten miles from Virden,
which is good market town, and nine
miles from Hargrave, where there are
two elevators. This summer / erected
a dwelling house Of native stone and
bought half-section of land adjoin-
ing our homesteads, for which l paid
very moderate price. There are still
some homesteads in this district, and
land of fine quality can be purchased
from the Canadian Pacific Railway
company at $3.50 per acre on liberal
terms. Good water is generally found
at depth of from fifteen to twenty
feet. l have 175 acres ready for crop
next year.
The cost of living here is about the
same as in southern Minnesota. Some
commodities are higher and others
lower in price, but the average is
about the same. l remain, your ODE
dent servant. (Signed.)

MANY FLOCK TO FRANKFORT.
Exciting Times Are Expected at Ken
tucky's Capital.

Frankfort, KY, Jan. 23.-It is be-
lieved among all factions of all par
ties here that this will be the most
eventful week ever experienced at
Kentucky's capital. The many peo-
pie from all parts of the state that
arrived on the trains this evening are
but an indication of the number that
are expected tomorrow and during the
remainder of the week. The guberna-
torial contests can hardly be decided
this or even next week, but the peo-
pie realize that the end is drawing
near, so far as the legislature is con-
cerned, and say they want to be on
the scene of action. OF the crowds
that are pouring into Frankfort some
are friends of Goebel, and are anxious
to see enforced whatever may be the
decision of the legislature on the con-
test question. Others are republicans
and anti-Goebel democrats, who are
equally determined that the men
elected on the face of returns last No
vember shall be continued in Office

Reese Contempt Case Up.

Topeka, Kan, Jan. 23.-The now cell
ebrated contempt case of B. p. Reese,
president of the United Mine Workers
States Supreme court today. Reese
was held in contempt by Judge Will
iiams of the federal court at Fort Scott
several weeks ago for violating an or
der prohibiting union miners from in
terfering with the operation of the coal
mines in southeastern Kansas and was
sent to Jail. He made application for
his release on a writ of habeas corpus
before Judge Thayer of the Court of
Appeals and it was granted. Now the
coal companies propose to appeal the
case to the United States Supreme
court

CHAPTER X.

The Englishman saw that the rock
was securely placed at the opening Of
the cave, and then ordered Rob to fol-
low him. He rode off towards the in
terror, and paid no further attention to
the young fellow trudging behind him.
They travelled in this way for sew
eral miles, and at last came to an old
estate on the plain. There was stone
house, one-storied, with many windows
and wide porticos. Elvin turned into
the avenue that led from the rough and
little travelled road, and dismounted at
the door of this house. There was lit
tie about the place that indicated it to
be occupied. The land was not Guilt
waited. There were men about the sta
bles, and one came forward and took
the Englishman's horse. The captain
then strobe in at an open door.
Rob found the place comfortably fur
nished, but there was nothing about
it, even with its interior comfort, that
betokened the presence of family. In
fact, this out-of-the-way place was
simply the headquarters of Richard Ell
win and the gang of conspirators OF
which he was the leader.
They passed into a large room, and
the Englishman called for supper. This
was soon spread, and Rob ate heartily,
for he was hungry after his long and
hurried tramp. He was also excessive
ly weary, and the captain noticed

THE BOERS FIGHTING HARD.
Buffers Force Meeting with Stub
born Resistance.
BRITISH PUSHING FORWARD.
Enemy Gives Up One Position to Take
Up Another In Rear - Denial OF
Wauchope Story - Never Criticised
General Methuen.

Spearman's Camp, Natal, Jan. p,
$3.50 a. m.-Early Sunday morning
General Warren commenced thanking
movement on the extreme left of the
Boer position. The infantry advanced
at o'clock in the morning along the
irregular Tabamyama Mountain,
which ends at Spion Kop. The artil-
lery occupied position behind and on
the plain. The British carefully work
ed along the hills until within 1000
yards of commanding kopje on which
the Beers were concentrated, concealed
behind immense powders strewn
thickly over the hill. The artillery
opened the attack and the batteries
worked continuously, pouring tons of
shrapnel among the Beers, who de-
voted their attention to musketry fir
ing on the British infantry. The Beers
stuck to their rocky Businesses with
the greatest tenacity, and at the con-
clusion Of the day the British had only
advanced few ridges. The Beers ap-
parently have few guns, and they did
little damage. Captain Honley of the
Dublin Fusillers fell mortalyy wounded
while leading his men to seize a fresh
point of vantage.
London, Jan. 22,-Nothing has been
received thus far to indicate that any
conclusive result has been reached by
the British forces in the region of the
upper Tugela, and the lack Of inforTla-
ton regarding what men and NUM-
tions the Beers have in reserve pre-
vents accurate determination of the
measure Of real success attending the
two days hard fighting. All that can.
be said is that the British seem to be
doggedly advancing in The face of an
equally stubborn resistance. At the
close of yesterdays fighting the repub-
licans had merely evacuated their first
line of defense to take up another
semi-circular position a short distance
in the rear, recalling the old burgher
ruse by which the Beers have previ-
ously managed to entice the British
into.
Dispatches from elsewhere in South
Africa give trivial details of minor
happenings, and do not illuminate the
situation.
The widow of General Wauchope, in
an open letter, denies the stories that
the general in any way criticised Cen
eral Methuen. She says General Wau-
chope's last mention of General Me-
thuen to her was contained in letter
from the Orange River, dated Nov. 20,
as follows:
81 expect Methuen will halt at the
Modder river for some days before
pushing forward. He has had hard
time of it, and must be a real gallant
soul to shove along as h does"
Lord Wolseley has also issued a de-
NAL of the report that the war Office is
in possession of a letter from General
Wauchope, written the night before
the battle of Magersfontein, saying it
would be the last letter he would
write, as he had been asked to perform
an impossible task, and he had either
to obey orders or surrender his sword.

whats the matter?" he asked. Are
you played out?"
Yes. captain" said Rob. Il walked
fast after your horse"
well, go rest yourself. Tomorrow
you will have plenty of work"
The plan of the house was commo-
dious, even though it was but one story
high. Rob was shown to a comforta-
bic room, in which was bed and other
necessaries, and even luxuries, of a
bedroom. This room opened off from
larger one, which seemed to be a sort
of library or Office. There were other
rooms like Rob's, all arranged on two
sides of great hall. Three only opened
from the office.
Rob was not slow in obeying the
captain, and after bathing his aching
limbs with cool water he went to bed.
He was weary enough to sleep, not
withstanding the new dangers that
confronted him. And he did fall
asleep and remained in doze for sew
eral hours. He awoke some time in
the night, hearing voices outside in
the Office. The light of the moon came
in through the one window of his
room, and Rob was enabled to see.
He lay there without trying to listen,
but suddenly became aware that a
voice he knew was speaking. 1t was
Lemuel Starne.
Yes" Starne was saying, 1T was a
lucky thing for me l got rid of that
American cub when l did. Why, t. he
had ever reached old Horton, it would
have been all up with me. And just
as l am getting on so well, too.

and am well on to that of the girls.
1t would be fine thing, after 1 work
up my case, ingratiate myself with
Horton and marry Elsie, to have the
old fool leave his wealth to that young
cub and leave me out in the cold. No.
no. II win any, must win all. Some
day old Horton will die, and then we
shall control the wealth of South
America. 1t was most fortunate
thing that l heard of his coming. 1t

THREE ITALIANS MURDERED.
Shot to Death During an Interfamily

New York, Jan. 23.-Three Italians
were shot to death in an interfamily
row in an Italian tenement house in
East Eleventh street at noon. The
dead are:
Antonio Colletti, 81 years of age,
married, shot through the lung.
Caspar Colletti, 10 years of age,
brother of Antonio, shot in the breast

cousin of the Collects, shot in the
stomach.

Frank, II years of age, have been ar
rested and charged with the murder,
and the police are still searching for

TWO MEN LYNCHEo IN KANSAS.
George and Ed Meeks Taken from jail
by Mob at Fort Scott.

by "a Mob at Fort Scott.
Fort Scott, Kan, Jan. ga mob OF
400 men Saturday night lynched
George and Ed Meeks, alias Smith, two
Kansas City criminals, who were con-
victed of the murder of Leopold Elm
ger, a young farmer of Bates county,
Missouri. The same mob was prevent
ed from hanging Amos Phillips, an old
Bates county farmer, who was con-
victed of the same crime, by deter
mined stand taken by the sheriff and
his deputies, assisted by conservative
citizens. The lynching was immediate
ly induced by a murderous assault
made by the prisoners on a deputy
sheriff in an attempt to escape. A
battle in which eight officers and three
prisoners, the two Meeks and one other
who was not identified on account OF
the darkness, participated, followed
their attempt to get out. One officer
was wounded, and George Meeks was
shot in the leg. Thirty shots were
fired in the Jail. Ed Meeks declared
that Phillips and George Meeks did
the killing, but the mob would not let
him finish his statement.

CHAPTER IX.-(Continued.l

The unloading began at once, and
Captain Elvin took from the hand of
Torrevo the tally Rob had made in
Brazil
He looked at it with keen scrutiny,
then his sharp eyes searched Torrevo's
face. But he said nothing then.
Rob was compelled by Torrevo to do
his part in the unloading the same as
before, but this time Torrevo did not
beat him. Somewhere, deep down in
that outlaws heart, there was tender
spot, and Rob had found it.
When the cargo was all safely slowed
away in the cave, the very dampness
of which made Rob shudder at the
memory of his former experience, Cap
tain Elvin called Torrevo one side.
Who wrote this?" he asked, thrust
ing the paper under Torrevo's nose.
''Why?" asked Torrevo, to gain time.
He did not know what was coming.
Because want to know" answered
Elvin. This is not your writing.
There is not one of your gang that can
write like this. Who did it?"
my nephew" said Torrevo, holding
himself up proudly, as if to let Elvin
see that there were educated people in
his family, and he was proud of the
fact. when we loaded at Rio l was
i'll. i could not take the tally, and
set my nephew at it. He did it very
well, as you see."
VERY well, indeed. And what is
the name of this nephew of yours?"
Ricardo Torrevo-the same as my
own"
ON. M. He does not look like
you. Where did he get his light COM
pleXion?"
From his mother, Senior Captain.
She was an American lady,"
IN. M. And how does he stand?
Is he with us? Can he be trusted?"
with our lives. That boy is true
as steel. Oh, you need not fear him,
