The official announcement that the
British losses in South Africa in the few
months since the war began have
amounted to 1000 men shows how

embarrass those who have the admins

The most important event ofthe South
African war up to the time of this writ
ing is the surrender of Gen. Cronje, with
1000 men and several pieces of ofartillery
to Gen. Roberts. The surrender con
firms the accuracy of the reports that
we haye been receiving for several days
past, to the effect that Cronje's position
was hopeless and that it would be only
question of a short time when hs
would fall into the British clutches.

morning il was noticed that the safe
had been tempered with The floor in
front of it was carpeted with burned
matches, and the tools the would-be
robbers had used were lying about the

this morning before he was able to open
it. The tumbIers had been Jared by
the blows the robbers had given them,

TAMPERED WITH ACARRIER.
Effort to Suppress a Paper Be-
cause 1t Prints All
The News.

Subscribers in North Canton have
complained lately about the failure of
the delivery of the News-Democrat. An
Investigation develops the fact that on
one of the nights when the paper did
not reach all of the subscribers that q
party interested in the news Of the
evening had coaxed the carrier to sell
as many Of the papers as possible, no
no doubt with a view of keeping the
news therein suppressed among his
neighbors. The News-Democrat has
taken steps to have the difficulty rem
edied and in the future when subscrib-
ers fail to receive the paper, prompt no.
tice should be given the circulation de-
partment Of the paper.
In this Connection the News-Democrat
will point to the fact that in the case of
Dick VS. Martin. recently on trial in the
common pleas court, that 1t was the
only paper in the county to print a re-
port of the case. The prominence of the
defendant in the case, he being formerly
county official and prominent in his
local circles, is no bar to the news being
published in the News-Democrat. II

| footing with the man that rolls ir
