BRITONN PURCHASE
MORE LIVE STOCK
Since BOer War More Than
100000 Head Have
Been Bought

Kansas City, No, Dec. 24.-Capt.
Heygate, of the British army. is pur-
chasing $4,000 cavalry horses and
mules for the British army in South
Africa. He came here more than a
year ago to buy horses and mules, but
was ordered home a short time ago.
But the unexpected renewal of hos
tnities has made the purchase Of more
horses and mules necessary. AS fast
as the animals are inspected and
bought they viii be sent to New Or
leans and shipped to Cape Town. Dur
ban and New London on British trans
ports, some of which are now on their
way to the United States. BY the time
the animals are landed in Africa they
cost the government $3.50 a head.
Since the beginning of the Boer war
England has purchased over 100000
head Of horses and mules in the Uni
ted States. II required 65 ships to
carry them from New Orleans to South
Africa. Government transports will be
kept very busy from now on carrying
horses which England will need in
South Africa and which have been or
dercd purchased in the United States.
Baden Powell now has 25, 900 mounted
police, and it is proposed to mount
10000 OF the Imperial infantry. Eng
land has discovered that her soldiers
must be mounted to be able to cope
with the Boer, who gets over the
country with alarming rapidity.

the 18th of June there passed away
from these earthly scenes one Of Will

dear friend, George W. Bush In his
death the church, the Sunday school
and every good cause lost a true and
steadfast friend and helper, identified
with this church and Sunday school
ever since their organization. All
through q long. useful and honcred life
he was an able. intelligent, wise and
successful instructor Of youth in the
Holy Scriptures. In his decease Cen
tral Sunday school has lost one of its
best friends. and your superintendent
has lost one Of his most valued. sympa-
thetic and staunchest supporters, a loss
he has felt most kccnly."

Washington, Dec 24-Frank II. Nor
ris. auditor for the War Department,
was shot through the heart in his Of
fee in the Winder building on Satur-
day afternoon by Samuel II. MacDon-
aid, formerly disbursing clerk under
Auditor Morris, discharged by him last
February.
Macdonald had borne a Tudge
against Auditor Morris since last Feb
ruary, when he was reduced from his
place as disbursing clerk for the audi
tor of the War Department at $4,000 a
year to a $14O0 position under the
auditor for the Postoffice Department.
Mr.. Morris was not 10 blame for the re-
ductOn. which was made because q
shortage of about 81 900 was found IN
MacDonald's accounts. Macdonald had
been careless in his habits and drank
a great DEAL which counted mere
against him than the shortage, IL is said.
as this was made good He alleged the
money was stolen from his safe He
had been in the service since August.
1869, when he was appointed in the
Treasury Department by Secretary Sher-
man.
Macdonald is a bachelor and came
from Steubenville, Ohio. His brother
is a member Of the "Bostonians." He

REFORM WAVE
MOVES ONWARD
Tammany Committee Is De-
termined to Close Gam
bling DenSI

New York. Dec 24.-The Tammany
committee of five appointed TO lool. in
to vice in this city will hold a meet
ing this afternoon. Speaking of the
work of the committee, Lewis Noxon,
It's chairman, said last night
1--WE have our own system of check
ing up the work of the police in rela-
tion to our complaints, and If we find
that places supposed to be closed are
really open we will proceed against
the captains responsible. We will have
charges preferred against the captains
and have them tried.
Il believe that there are some 800
gambling houses and poolrooms in the
city. We have filed complaints against
six Of them. have been informed
that these are closed. II that is not
so we will soon know about 1t.
"We intend to go ahead until every
gambling house In the city is closed
We are going after the big ones as
well as the little ones. Wherever we
find a place that is supposed to be
backed by a Tammany man we go for il
harder than for a place Of the ordinary
kind. Tammany has been accused Of
protecting these places. and we are go
ing to prove that Tammany is as much
against them as any organization"
