the Beers supplies, as such belief is
false Upon the first hall OF his
statement the finsncier need hardly
be considered seriously, but upon
the matter of supplies he is eminent
authority.
More almost any other quality,
that rare quality in soldiers, initia
tive, has given American arms an
uubroken series of successful wars.
This quality seems to exist in the
Beer soldier to q like uegree. A
determined individualism, which has
its socially unpleasant side, is a
mighty good equipment for an arcly

appreciation Of discipline and subor-
dination.
Their mobility trebles their fight
ing strength. Their system OF
mounted infantry is Instructive to
the whole military world. Each
man has his own horse, trained to
obedience. The soldiers are cavalry
Tor travelling and infantry for battle.
The British may have a series OF
successes after their many disasters.
But it must be remembered that the
war does not really begin till the
Beers are driven back into their own
Businesses. The capture even of
Pretoria does not insure peace, for
the Dutch are prepared to retire to
the hills, and they are racially peo-
Pile who fight best under reverses.
Furthermore, the reduction of a
capital does not mean an end to re-
sistance or proof OF final success.

Philadelphia, that they were lost.

the English schoolhoy knows. When

The chances of foreign interven-

students of the situation; but with
the sympathy for the Beers taking
great strides everywhere, and in
creasing perhaps more because OF
their successes than their deserts, it
need not be looked on as at all i'm

this canon. The third precept adj
vises one to Operate as far as posi-
BILE upon the communications Of the
enemy without exposing your own"
This the Beers have done TO large
extent. They have certainly not ex-
posed their own rear, and they have
made the communications of the
three British columns precarious
and costly.
Jomini says that no country can
be successfully invaded when the
people are unit against the invad-
er. The Spanish people have prov
ed how far from sufficient it is to
conquer merely the organized troops
OF a country, and the British are so
far from hoping for discussions in
the Transvaal that they are much
concerned over the steadiness OF
even those people whom they call
their own citizsns.
A further obstacle to English sue
cess is the fact that the odds are TO
day largely in favor OF any fairly in
trenched force, owing to the i'm
mense recent increase in the zone
and rapidity of fie. The Yankee
troops in Cuba took trenches un-

Killed-Pack Train Left.
Manila, Jan. 23.-On Thursday a
pack train escorted by fifty men Of
company G. Thirtieth infantry, Lieut..
Ralston commanding, was ambushed
near Lipa, province of Laguna. and
two Americans were killed, four were
wounded and nine were missing. The
insurgents fired three volleys at close
range, and the escort was obliged to
retreat, after killing fifteen of the in
ssurgents. Several animals of the pack
train were killed and their packs were
looted.
The escort consisted of fifty conva-
lescents from the hospital. who were
going to rejoin the regiment. The in
surgents hid in the bushes along the
road and opened fire upon the pack
train from three sides. The Ameri-
cans. in addition to their casualties,
were compelled to abandon the train,
which consisted of twenty-five horses.
The latter, with their packs, all fell
into the hands of the insurgents, who
purusd the retreating escort for three
miles along the road until the Amer
leans we're REINFORCED. The affair is

TWO MEN LYNCHED IN KANSAS,

George and Ed Al.eks Taken from jail
by Mob at Fort Scott.
Fort Scott, Kan, Jan. 23.-A 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, 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 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.

Tomhstone photoeranh..

Photographing tombstones is novel
industry which has been Instituted by
colored man in this city, who was at
one time boy-of-all-work in a photo
graph gallery. He has recently
branched out for himself, and has al
ready established remunerative busi-
ness, which promises to open even a
wider field in the future. He visits the
various cemeteries with his cameras
and when the day is fair he takes pic
lures of many of the imposing monu-
ments. After he has developed his
plates he takes proofs around among
the relatives of the deceased, and usu-
ally finds ready sale for his pictures
OF course, he has to take chances, for
he works entirely without orders,
trusting to sentiment for his sales.
Still, he says it is very seldom that he
doesn't get an order. He also has a
habit of haunting the marble works
where tombstones are made, and by
striking while the iron is hot he takes
a picture before even the bereaved rel
atives have seen the stone.-Ph iladel.

eventful week every experienced at
Kentucky's capitalr 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-

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 ara republicans
and anti-Goebel democrats, who are
equally determined that the men

sombrero, which, oddly enough, was
not the sombrero of the mountains, but
that of the Arizona cattle plains. The
trousers reached only to the knee and
matched the jacket in color, texture
and decoration; from the knees down
the preachers legs were incased in
high-heeled top boots such as cowboys
affect.
Amt you no more to your name
than what you've told?" asked Cud
White, the bartender "Wambold ain t
much of Christian name to my guess
in"
The bartender, who knew Christian
usages, and the preacher, who did not
smiled at each other meaningly, and a
crowd gathered round. The parson
drew something from his hip pocket
with a sort of Notwithstanding
like the throwing of kiss-and
looked at it with close but imper-
sonal interest.
"Cud," he said softly, sis my name
any of your business?"
Il don't know as it is" replied Cud,
agreeably. So they shook hands, and
1t was decided generally that the
preacher had grit. His stock went up
so per cent.
AS time went on the preacher grew
more impassioned, and many of the
women and few of the men submit
ted to immersion in the icy mountain
stream and went on their way prais-
ing. For time an excessive and
demon strative happiness pervaded the
town. Tho echoes gave back the hymns
which tic pssple sung together in the
open air Under the stars, and the dawn
saw praise meetings held by the side
of the tramway ,uat led to the mines.
A strange light hogan to burn in VAN
bold's eyes, ana his cheek bones be-
came more prominent, as fasting and
prayer and exhortation wore him thin,
and his magnetic hands were more
restless than ever in their movements.
In the midst of all this excitement
the posters of circus were posted on
the billboards. 1t was done over night
between the coming of the passenger
and the going of the freight trains, and
in the morning the preacher was seen
standing before them long time. It
worried the people. Was he going to
be SO rigorous ss to forbid them in
diligence in thetf chiefest pleasure?
The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1900-01-25

It proved to be the case. Never be-
fore had he been SO fierce in his de-
nunciations of anything as he was of
that circus. The town was shaken by
the storm of his disapproval-and it
was divided as to its course of action.
The night the circus came to town
Wambold held prayer service, and he
cried with a great voice that Satan
was in the midst of them with a scar
let temptation. Some of the children
wept. They did not want to belong to
Satan, but neither did they want to
stay away from the circus.
The blinds of the preachers cabin
were closed that evening, and no light
shown through them. The people won
dersd why. They could never have
imagined the truth-that Wambold lay
face downward upon the clean linen
of his bed crying aloud to the Lord of
the hills to give him refuge from the
harassments Of the evil one. Nor could
they have guessed that when the
mountains brooded over the sleeping
town that the preacher crept out of
his house and did not stay his steps
till he stood where the showmen were
driving the stakes for their tents, and
the women were boiling black coffee
over their camp fires. He shifted the
indescribable circus aroma-horses
leather, sawdust, fodder-as if it were
the sweet south wind breathing upon
a bank of violets. He bent an eager
ear to the jokes of the men, to the long
night plant of the Gagged leopard and
the loud laughter of the women. Then
he stole back again to his darkened
cabin.
The next morning the sun smiled
with confidential jocularity upon the
town, and it beheld every woman and
son of woman going to the circus-and
the town was clear of hysteria for the
first time in a month.
We'll meet the parson by the road
side a-warnin' us, I'll bet," said Cud
White to his wife. But he was wrong.
All day, while the drums beat and
the horns played, and the ringmaster
snapped his whip, and the bareback
riders labored at their nimble task
there were two sessions of the circus
that day-the blinds of Wambold's
cabin remained fast.
! After it was all over the people went
