Yes, August Flower still has the

lied world. Your mothers and grand.
mothers never thought of using any
thing else for indigestion or biliousness
Doctors were scarce, and they seldom
heard OF appendicitis, nevous prostration

ust Flower TO clean out the system and
stop fermentation OF indigested food
regulate the action of the liver, stimu-
late the nervous and organic action of

Daring Attempt to Cut on British

London. May 1.-The following dis
patch has been sent by Lord Roberts TO
the war Office:
"Bloemfontein, April 30-The Beers
made very persistent attacks round
Thaba NChu Saturday and Sunday, but
the position which the Eighth CRundle's)
division holds is very strong and he had
the assistance of Gordons and Dickson's
brigades, the cavalry under French and
Smith Dorrien's infantry brigade and
body of mounted infantry under Ian Ham
ilton. Pole-Carew's division returned from
Dewetsdorp yesterday"
Lord Roberts also reports additional
casualties sustained during the fight
ing Of April p around Thaba N'Chu,
consisting Of Lieut.. Geary and two en-
listed men killed and one officer and
three enlisted men wounded.
Another Dispatch.
The war office has received the fol-
lowing dispatch from Gen. Roberts:
"Bloemfontein, May Ian Hamilton
marched yesterday in a northcrly direc-
ton from Thaba N'Chu with a body OF
mounted infantry and Smith-Dorrien's
brigade Of Clements division. At Haut-
ney he found himself opposed by a strong
force commanded by Gen Botha in person.
Reenforcements reached this force during
the day and l directed French TO strength
en- him during the night from Thaba
N'Chu.
This he was able TO do, rs the number
OF Beers in the neighborhood Of Thaba
N'Chu had considerably decreased. In adj
dition TO these troops Hamilton should be
reinforced during the day by Broadwoods
cavalry and Bruce-Iiamilton's infantry
brigade.
Hamilton mentioned that his casualties
yesterday We're about 80.
MAXWELL brigade OF the Seventh divi-
sion yesterday occupied Nlaksontors and
Schauskraal, a row of kopjes, without
meeting with opposition. But the mount
ed infantry were engaged for some hours"
Throws No Light.
Neither the ommander-in-chief's nor
the correspondents dispatches throw
any light on the plans being adopted to
Gust the Beers from the neighborhood
of Thaba N'Chu and how long before
a determined effort will be made TO re-
assert British superiority is only mat
ter of surmise. In the meantime the
Beers are remarkably aggressive, es-
pecially in view Of the large forces OPP
posing them. A special dispatch from
Thaba N'Chu dated Monday says they
made daring attempt TO cut Off Brit
ism convoy which got into broken
ground between Thaba N'Chu and De-
wetsdorp. opening fire from the ada
cent hills. In the nick of time Gen.
Brabazon, with n strong force of
yeomanry returning from Wepener,
arrived on the scene and extricated the
convoy.
