London, March 26.-The continued
absence of aggressive movement
upon the part of the British forces
In South Africa is best explained In
dispatch from Bloemfontein, dated
Sunday, March rs, and published in
the second edition of the London
Times to-day, II says;
"The conditions existing In the oc.
cupied territory render imperative
the somewhat prolonged halt Mt
Boemfontein. II Is necessary that
the effect of the proclamation should
have time to make itself felt. IL is
declared that danger OF annoyance TO
the line of communication may be
apprehcnded unless the territory be-
hind the advancing forces is render
ed absolutely secure. The accuracy
OF this view is proved by the fact OF
the enemy's breaking up into iso-
lated groups, such MS that which at
tackled the Guards officers Friday.
"The adjustment Of financial and
municipal matters in the Free State
Is now chiefly occupying the atten-
tion of the governor and his legal
and financial advisers. The military
regime is conducted with great
smoothness, but recent investigations
show that caution must be exercised
loyal"
This summary Is probably an nc
curate explanation OF the appear
ance and disappearance of Beers and
insurgents, upon which the reports
are so conflicting.

We the populists Of Reno county
reaflirm the st LOUIS platform of 1896
in Its entirety.
We express our lUm growing
confidence in W. Il. Bryan, and
instruct our delegates to labor for his
denomination. We denounce the pres
ent national administration from impe-
rialism to Hannaisn; for it's fostering of
trusts; for its foistng upon the Ameri-
can people the infamous financial
and funding bill, farming out the ma
tons finances tonatonal banks; for its
traflicng and dickering away the peo-
ple's money with the Standard Oil
Company's banks; for it's harsh, and
tyrannical method Of dealing with the
iFilippinos and recognizing slavery and
polygany. Especially do we denounce
the sympathy of the administration
with the worlds arch oppressors in
their attempt to subjugate and destroy
the two republics OF South Africa
solely in satisfaction Of the greed of
English Capital We declare our
sympathy and admiration of the brave
farmers in their heroic though appar-
emily hopeless defense of their homes
and,llresides.
We futher declare that we do
mot believe the patriots of Bos-
don bay were traitors, nor liars, and
that ',taxation without representa-
tioL is still tyrany" republican Con
Gress and Chester l. Long to the con-
trary notwithstanding; that the at.
tempt to thus tax the territory that
mas Eecently come under our protection
is an outrage on American traditlonsY
and thu American sense of justice.
We adhere ia the doctrine that the
people should be supreme and fzvor
the initiative and referendum.
Using the trite phyase, we "point
with pride' to the fact that after so long
the republican party is compelled to
reconVnize the truth Of the proposition
Ofpublic ownership of public utilities in
the government construction and
ownership of the Nicaraguan canal
aud Pacific cable.
We believe the acquisition of

Hen, John Nj. Whitehead.

! Mr.. Whitehead, who offers himsel
as a candidate for nomination on
the s'a ate Republican ticket for the
Office of governor of this state, is in
the prime of life, being 48 years of age,
and is blessed with large proper
ton of both physical and mental
vigor and strength. He was born in
1852, near Hillsboro, ILL.,, on a farm,
and in his education passed from a
common school to select school, to
Hlllsboro academy; was in Wabash
college, Crawfordville, Ind, in 1912;
Williams seminary, Easthampton,
Mass, 1872 3; in Yale college from
1878 to 1877 and received the degree
of A. B. After graduation hestudied
law In Chicago, was admitted to the
bar in 1880 and to the bar of Wis
consin in 1888, in which year he settled
in GAINESVILLE, where he has since re-
sided. He has represented q ward of
GAINESVILLE on the county board, was
elected to the state senate in 1896,
to represent the Twenty-second
Senatorial district, and made for
himself an enviable record by his
good Judgment, his keen insight into
legal bearings of proposed legislation
and his ability to defend the meas
ures he favored. The conspicuous |
position he took in the establish
ment Of the tax commission and in
securing the passage Of the anti-pass
aw, stand as prominent witnesses
20 the staunchness of his character,
and ability to see the right and win
success. Should Mr. Whitehead be-
,ome governor of Wisconsin we pro-
'hesy that the people will have no
round for regret over their choice.
u Whiteheau's candidacy was en-
Iorsed by the First Congressional
district convention, at Kenosha,

case of stomach trouble and yellow
jaundice. Gall stones had formed and
she constantly grew worse. Then she

The ancients believed that rheuma-
tism was the work of demon within a
man. Any one who has had an attack of
sciatic or infammatory rheumatism will
agree that the infiction is demoniac
enough to warrant the belief. 1t has
never been claimed that Chamberlain's
Pain Balm would cast out demons. but
it will cure rheumatism, and hundreds
bear testimony to the truth of this state
ment. One application relieves the pain
and this quick relief which it affords
is alone worth many times its cost. For

THE Portage Register seems to
think it is personal dislike of Mr..
DAZZLE which impels the opposition
to his denomination emanating from
some OF the Republican papers of
this congressional district. So far as
we are concerned we have no person
al grievances in the matter nor axes
to grind. We merely deem it wiser
party policy to nominate somebody
who is to all intents and purposes
stronger with the voters. But we
suppose everything is already ''fxed"
and that Dahle's denomination will
be carried out without opposition as
a part of the program which it was
plain to see was prepared before the
convention was called to order in
this city last Tuesday.
