DOES Brown need an advertising
manager?
II would really seem so.
But for the comfort OF this New YORK
alumnus. The News would express the
opinion that the new president OF
Brown is not going TO overlook the ad-
vertising department in distributing hh
energies to the upbuilding Of the uni
versity.
We think we see signs that Prexy
Faunce realizes that a little tactful
blowing of the university's horn by the
university Itself it's alumni and friends
is not Incompatible with well ordered
college methods.
We have no doubt that the wide
world Will begin 10 hear from and
about Brown more and more from now
on.
But our New York correspondent
should bear i'm mind that for the ini-
tiation and the successful prosecution
Of the booming the absence of which
he laments and which is 50 much TO
be desired as it is deserved. Brown
must really look 10 her loyal alumni

Mont, who has written the Burlington
that. he has received grace after a sin
full life and fearing that the world is
on its last legs, wants to set himself
right with it at once, and as a mean
of relief asked the Burlington railroad
that he might repay it for rides stolen
on the bumpers in times past. After
several letters had passed between him
and the passenger department, a map
was sent him that he might figure out
how much he yves to the railroad.
At last he writes:

AS night fell, after the terrific fight.
ing. which lasted all day Sunday, there
was a sudden cessation OF Ere, as both
sides were thoroughly glad to rest. The
work of collecting the dead and wound
ed proceeded and the men slept where
they had fought the whole day. The
action was one Of the most fearfully
contested in the history of the war, for
the Beers are grimly fighting for their
lives, while the British determinedly
harrassed them. The mounted infan-
try did good work, and the Highland
brigade fought steadily and sternly.
The whole force behaved well. Sunday
evening the Gordon about the Beers was
feet silence. A few Beers came into
camp during the night and confessed
they were sick of fighting II that
Cronje was being urged to surrender.
All the animals and men suffered terri
bly, from thirst, as 1t was impossible to
transport water. A heavy thunder
storm in the afternoon, however, con-
siderably relieved their sufferings. Lord
Kitchener was present with the force.
General Mcdonald was wounded in the
foot, but not severely. General Cron-
je's force occupies the river bed. Our
men marched splendidly to overtake
the. %retreating enemy. Deserters say a
great number of Beers lost their horses.
The trek oxen are daily seen wander
ing over the plain and many come into
our lines.

ASKED AN ARMISTICE.
Cronje Wanted "a Hours, but Kitchener
Said Fight to Finish.

London, Feb. 23.-The Daily New.
has the following dispatch from Mod.
der river, dated Wednesday afternoon
Feb. 81:
The Boer forces under General Cron
j. are estimated at 5000 men. At l:
o'clock he asked an armistice of 2.
hours, which was refused. Later h.
sent a messenger to say he would sur,
render.
The British general sent a reply tell.
ing him to come into camp. Cronje re-
fused, saying there had been a mis-
understanding and that he would fight
to the death.
The bombardment was then reopen
ed and our lyddite shells set fire to
the Boer wagons. We continued she'll
ing the lager through the night, and
in the morning we resumed with the
Maxims and rifles, principally from the
north side.
On Sunday there was much waste OF
life in attacking, and the same result
will be achieved without 1t. During
Monday night seven Beers made an at
tempt to break through our lines, but
they were captured and their leader
killed. Four we're carrying letters. It
is believed there was one other who
got through.

IN THE WEST
GOVERNORS FROM SEVERAL
STATES DRAFT IMPORT
ANT RESOLUTIONS.
Executive of Wyoming and Other
States Make Recommendations
Which, il Adopted, Will be of Great
Importance to the West-Another
Meeting to be Held.

Washington, D. C. Feb. 22.--An i'm,
portant meeting of governors of the
Rocky mountain states was held at the
Arlington hotel here this afternoon to
consider the public land question as il
applies to the western states.
There were present at the meeting
Governors Thomas Of Colorado, Lee,
South Dakota; Richards, Wyoming;
Poynter. Nebraska; Steunenberg, Ida
no; Murphy, Arizona, and Wells, Utah.
An informal discussion of the ques-
ton which was participated in by all
present, revealed the fact that the gov
errors are unanimously of the opinion
that the states should be given control
of the present unoccupied lands in the
arid states.
Prior to the meeting the governors
had called upon the secretary of the
interior, who informed them hat he
intended organizing a bureau to inves-
tigate the vacant public land question
and this coupled with the fact that the
commissioner Of the general land office
had recommended that the vacant lands
be leased by the general government
made it apparent to the governors that
unless some action be speedily taken
there will be no opportunity for the
states to secure any control of the lands
in the future.
1t was decided not to make a
positive declaration on the SUBJ
ject at the present meeting, but
to call a subsequent meeting, at
which in addition to these at
the present meeting the governors of
North Dakota, Washington, Oregon and
Nevada could attend and the following
resolution was adopted and signed by
the governors:
AT the conference held by the I'M
dersigned in the city of Washington,
Feb. %. 1900, to consider the merits of
pending measures for the leasing and
reclamation of the arid lands OF the
west by the land department of the

says of the show:
Two large audiences filed the Denver
yesterday and last night to witness the
initial performances in this city of
Sweeney & Alvido's Model Ministries.
The company is n of the most clever
minstrel organizations that has visited
this city this season, the entertainment
is lively, up-to-date, with not a dull
feature in the program. A first part,
well costumed and mounted, serves to
introduce several new and catchy
songs, funny sayings and jokes that
are new and original and situations that
are humorous and laugh-provoking.
Following comes an olio of novelties
of merit headed by Alvido, rightly
styled king Of jugglers," his humorous
feats being artistically presented. Ca
sad Bros. present a meritorious musical
act, Introducing several new instru-
ments. A. Lewis, in his b~arrel-jumping
feats, is one of the hits of the program.
