The English are still advanc-
ing toward the capital of the
Transvaal Republic. Roberts
has so managed his large army
that the Beers have continually
retreated. At no time has the
English commander allowed his
forces to get in such position
that the Beers found it advis-
able to offer battle. Whenever
he found the Beers in strong
position he has started flanking
movements, and continued to
accumulate forces at the
tanks of the enemy until the
Beers found it prudent to re-
treat. Robertsis certainly con-
Quoting great campaign, and
accomplishing much without
great LOSS of men on either side.
That the Beers will make a
final stand is very probable, and
then the great battle of the war
will be fought, or else the great
siege begun. From the recent
tactics displayed by Roberts 7
siege is the most probable.

Log Cut in the Second Minnesota District.

Log Cut in the Second Minnesota District.
Minneapolis Lumberman: During
the past winter the cut Of logs in the
second Minnesota district was un-
usually large. So far as the mills at
Minneapolis, Little Falls and Brain
erd are concerned, the logs that will
eventually come to them for manu-
facture, will probably not aggregate
a larger total than in former years,
but the producing capacity of the
district has been materially increased
by the erection of mills on the upper
Mississippi and it is in the number OF
logs cut for these mills that the
larger part of the increase has come.
AS the driving stage of the river is
at present; the Minneapolis mills are
more likely to be short thai long on
logs before the end of the season. The
following is a close estimate Of the
cut of the second district by streams,
lakes and railroads during the win
ter season of 1S99-19OO:

Deafness Cannot be Cnred

by local applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There is only one way TO cure
deafness, and that is by constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused
by an inflamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets inflamed you
have a rumbling orimperiect hearing
and when it is entirely closed deaf
is the result, and unless the inf1am&.
ton can be taken out and this tube
restored to it's normal condition,
hearing will be forever destroyed;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is.nothing butan in
famed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars

catarrh) that can not be cured by

Some did, and those who didn't
need not feel sorry that they
didn't. Such was the character of
the performance by the "Have You
Seen Smith" company at the Gross
opera house Thursday, that many
regretted having attended. The
company included several clever
speciality artists, but the effect Of
their efforts was lost sight of in the
rankness of Others. 1t was vaudi-
Vile from start to finish, and a.
large portion OF it was on the mid
way pleasance order. However
Manager Gross is not to blame, for
it was represented to him as a first

Seigle had the boy arrested, but
afterward withdrew the suit and

The Census and Persons Away From Home
During Tune. Z

The count of the people In the
United States will begin in all parts
of the country June l, and end in
the cities two weeks later and in the
rest of the country before the close
OF the month. The people are to be
counted at their places of residence,
but as many persons and families
will be away from their homes dur
ing June there is some danger that
such persons will not be counted.
If they are not counted, the locality
in which they live will be misrepre
sented to that extent, and in some
cases this representation may be
enough to affect the representation
in congress of the state from which
they come. Local pride and state
pride, therefore, should influence all
such absentees to take reasonable
precautions against being omitted
from enumeration in their places OF
residence. Such omissions are most
likely to occur in the large cities
where families close their homes and
go elsewhere for the summer. The
occurrence of the Paris exposition
this year is likely to increase the
number absent from the country.
In all cases of contemplated alb
sence the head of the family is re-
quested by the census Office to CON-
municate with the supervisor of the
district in which he lives. He Is also
requested to leave Information re.
garding his answers to the questions
which are to be asked with some re.
sponsible neighbor who will agree
to see that 1T reaches the remuneration
on his rounds. Such Information
might better be left as a memoran.
dunn in writing, as in that case it te
less likely to be overlooked. The
questions to which answers are de-
sired apply primarily to the popu'
lation, but also to all farms and
manufacturing establishments. They
are being published from time to
time in the press of the country.
By taking this trouble the absent
citizen will do justice to his locality
and his state, and materially aid the
census office in the performance Ofits
duties.

receiving money on deposit when he
knew his bank was insolvent, had
his trial at st. Cloud this week and

stating that it was not possible to

A POLITICAL POINTER.

Among the ''Political Point
ers" sent out by the Republican
press .bure au of Minnesota is the
following:
There never was a time in the
history of the Republican party
in tRIA state when it was of
such SRtal Importance that there
be complete harmony within
the party ranks as is the case
at the present time. This is
not saying that there is more
danger of defeat now than in
the past, but merely an admon-
ition that the enemy is within
the Notifications and that it
devolves upon the Republicans
to make the assault. The Demo
Gratis have already organized
for the fray, and have at their
command a stated and always
reliable income upon which to
draw for the maintenance of their
party organization and the sup
port of the party press. Theplan
of organization sometime ago
proposed by a number of leading
Republicans has already been
substantially put in operation
by the Democrats, who, as u.s.
ual, are always ready to steal
Republican thunder either in
the matter of organization or of
argument. They have an Or
ganization permeating every
voting district in the state, and
are working it night and day
just as though the election we're
to be held within a month. Re-
publicans should win the vic
tory first and then if there are
any scores to be settled there
is time enough to settle them.
There is surely not a Republic
an in the state who desires to
see the continuance of such an
administration as that with
which the state is now being
afflicted. Two years ago thous-
ands of Republicans voted for
John Lind out of pique, or
through some fancied grievance,
not realizing the extent and
magnitude of consequences
which would follow his election.
They have lived to see every
department of the state govern
ment subject to the control of
the governor, disorganized ami
and placed in the hands of ire
sponsible an incompetent ofic-
ials and they will never repeat
the mistake, no matter whom the
Republicans or the Democrats
may nominate.

HUNG UP TEMPORARILY.
Platte River Drive Will be Held at 1897
Dam Until the Dam >
IL Rebuilt.

Rod Scott and j. Pinnault came
down from the head waters Of the
Platte river Thursday afternoon.
Messrs Scott and Pinnault have
taken the contract to drive Rhodes
& Staples oak timber, banked on
Sullivan lake last winter to Gravel
Vile.
They had done remarkably rapid
work since taking hold of their con.
tract. There is between 100000 and
800, 900 feet OF lumber in the Rhodes
Staples logs, and the contractors
have succeeded in six days In getting
half of it down to 1897 dam. They
were compelled to hang up temper
arily, as the Akeley drive which
started ahead of them was also hung
up temporarily.
When the Akeley drive Of about
4,0OO, 900 feet was started this spring
1T was not thought necessary to re-
build the old $685." and it no doubt
would not have been, had this been
an ordinary season, but owing to
the extreme low water it has been
found that the drive could not reach
Gravelville without rebuilding the
dam, and it is now in course OF con-
struction.
With this dam rebuilt the drive lie
quite certain to reach Gravelville,
and with the head of water at
Gravelville the logs can be taken to
Rice lake, but from there it is doubt.
full whether they will reach the Mis-.
sissippi this season without a heavy
rainfall.
Scott and Pinnault returned ur
river to Sullivan lake today to take
the remainder of the Rhodes &
Staples timber down to "33 - and
hope to get it there in time to sluice
through with the Akeley drive.
1t is more difficult to drive oak
logs than pine, as usually quite q
large percentage of an oak drive
will sink. In this drive the percent
age lost will be very small, as the
logs have been on the bank several
months and are seasoned to some
extent. The Rhodes & Staples lum.
Der will be sawed at Gravel's mill
this season and hauled to this city.
The dam will be reconstructed in
few days, and only a few days will
be required to bring the logs from
there drive to Gravelville.

The immense volume of smoke and
the seething flames arising from the
fire in Hewitt's barn, on the plot below
Lincoln Heights, caused unusual alarm
last evening among the residents of
Bellevue and West Scranton.
MANY were at first inclined to the
belief that one Of the breakers was on
fire. and when an alarm from Box 32i.
at the corner of Corbett avenue and
Bellevue, was turned in. there was a
wild rush Of people to that section Of
the city.
The fire attracted hundreds of people
TO the scene. and several of the fire
companies responded but no effort was
made to save the building and it
burned to the ground in a short time.
The fire was out of bounds of the COM
panies. and the water facilities were
inadequate to meet the requirements.
1t was rumored that several horses
perished in the flames, but this could
not be verified. The structure is q
total loss. 1t was owned by Spencer
~ Robbins. the grain dealers, and was
valued at $500.
