White Mad Turned Yrllow.

Great CONSERVATION was felt by the
sriends of NJ. Hogarty, of Lexington,
Ky, when they saw he was turning
yellow. His skin slowly changed color
also his eyes, aud he suffered terribly.
His malady was Yellow Jaundice. He
was treated by the best doctors, but
benefit. Then he was advised
to try Electric Bitters, the wonderful
Stomach and Liver remedy, and he
writes: "After taking two bottles /
was wholly cured" A trial proves its
matchless merit for all Stomach, Liver
and Kidney troubles. Only soc. Sold

it would lead to confusion throughout
the district and might result IN some OF
the counties sending delegates to two
conventions and donbt as to which
one was the legal and properly called
convention. For these reasons the con-
ventlon was called today for the same
time and place as the first call deslg-
mated. By doing this the best interests
Of the entire district would be served,
and no particular candidate or faction
aided or opposed.
The intention of the committee was
that all candidates should stand on an
equal footing before the convention,
which IN his opinion would give the
delegates an opportunity to select can
dldate who would represent the wishes
of the majority of the voters throughout
the district and also be the means of Sc
curing candidate with the best quail
fications for judge from the abundant
available attorneys residing in the dis
trict.

KRUGER INTERVIEWED.

Transvaal President Talks to New YorE
Herald Correspondent-NotG Giving Up.
NEW YORK, March 21.-The CORE
spondent of The Herald at Pretoria
sends the following under date of
Feb. 10: I have just had an interview
with President Kruger who received
me on the piazza of his house.
IT am glad" said the president, ''to
welcome the correspondent Of The Her.
aid, as your presence insures that, what
ever may be the result of this unhappy
war, the world will eventually learn
the truth. This war was forced upon
us by England, misled by Cecil Rhodes
and the mining millionaires who want
the country. The Beers yielded as far
as possible, until they saw nothing but
complete surrender Of their indepen-
dence would satisfy England. Having
been forced into the war, the Beers will
conquer or die.
The Transvaal is willing to make
peace at any time, but we want no more
conventions-only absolute indepen-
dence is possible. We do not want more
territory, but are content with our pres
ent frontier, if we are permitted to live
peacefully. This is all we ask.
II recently learned that some Of the
Cape Dutch had been captured by the
British and were being tried in Cape
Town charged with treason. This gov
ernment cabled Salisbury stating that
if such men were not tr eated as prison
ers of war, we would make reprisals on
the British soldiers held here. Sails
bury replied dodging the real point and
threatening, if we injured a single
British prisoner, to hold me personally
responsible. I suppose he meant the
British would hang me. Such threats
are contemplate and cannot prevent me
from performing my duties to my coun-
try. The Transvaal replied today in
forming Lord Salisbury that they des-
pise his threats.
It is too early to prophesy the out
come Of the war or its duration. The
Beers are in Gods hands, and he will
not let US perish.
"Our total fighting strength is about
10000, but with Gods aid we can pre-
vail. l have about 25 blood relatives
fighting, and would rather see them all
perish than yield to England's unholy
aggression. This time it is liberty or
death

FOUGHT SUNDAY
Desultory Firing All Day at War
rentown, to the North OF
Kimberley.

LONDON, March 22.-2 p. m.-The
only news from South Africa showing
activity on either side comes from War
rentown, north Of Kimberley, where
desultory fighting occurred all Sunday,
resulting in the retreat OF the Boers
towards Christiana, under shell fire.
The passage Of this column towards
Mafeking has either almost ceased, or
is forbidden to be mentioned in dis
patches. Nothing new comes from
Colonel Plumer and Mafeking appar'
emily still awaits relief.
The Pretoria account Of the skirmish
at Fourteen Streams March 16, says that
a Boer command was preparing to de-
stroy railroad bridge and that the en-
gagement lasted half an hour, with the
result that one bugler was slightly
wounded.
The same dispatch announced the ar
rival at the Transvaal capital OF Gen
eral Schalkberger from Natal.
The second edition Of The Times pub
fishes dispatch from Bloemfontein
dated Monday, March ~, which says
The blowing up of bridges by the Beers
is an evident sign that the Transvaalers
intend to abandon the defense of the
Free State.
All is quiet in the south and west. a
corps Of young Beers from the farms
surrounding Bloemfontein, under an
imperial officer, has been detailed for
police work, and to prevent the further
looting of abandoned farms by the
Kaffirs.
1t is said that when Kruger left
Bloemfontein after President Steyn's S
visit there, President Steyn's parting
remarks were:
mind the British do not catch you,
or you will get better quarters at St.
Helena than I"
Rudyard Kipling has gone to Bloem-
fontein.
The Beers at Aliwal north are re-
ported to be still holding position IN
the big hills on the Free State side.
From Pretoria dispatch it appears
some misunderstanding regarding Lord
Saisbury's reply to Americas offer OF
mediation exists there. 1t had been
quoted to the effect that Lord Salisbury
had said he could accept the interven-
ton of no other power, which leads to
the belief that American representa-
tions would be listened to in the final
settlement.

Fate of Johannesburg j Causes Considerable
Speculation.

Fate of Johannesburg Causes Considerable
Speculation.
LONDON, March 21.-2:3O p. m.-For
all the news that has reached here in As
hours, Great Britain might almost as
lieve that the relief of Mafeking may be
heard of at any hour.
General Kitchener has entered Prizes
ka, Cape Colony, without opposition,
the insurgents laying down their arms,
which merely confirms the previous re-
ports Of their willingness to submit.
Generals Roberts and Butler are still
inactive, pending developments at the
theater of war.
Considerable interest is attached to
the fate Of Johannesburg. Comment
ing on the reported consultation between
Secretary Hay and the German ambas-
sador at Washington, DR.. Won Hclleben,
as TO a proposition that both belliger-
ents be urged to leave Johannesburg
alone, the Pail Mall Gazette says:
Credited to DIR. LeyGs.

are concoCting little scheme of Ger
man intervention. That is really
glorious yarn and one which shows to
what desperate straits the enemies OF
this country are reduced. Just imagine
a government which has formally de-
clined all outside Intervention, permit
ting Germany to dictate the course Of
Lord Roberts march to Pretoria. The
German foreign Office knows better than
to invite the snub it would infallibly re-
celve If 1t ventured to whisper 50 pre-
posterous proposal in Downing street. -

Shortage Will Reach $50, 900.

ELAnRA, N. Y, March 22.-The ex-
animation Of the books Of Frank E.
Bundy, the defaulting city chamber
lain, showed defalcation Of $33, 900 in
one tax roll. 1t is now thought the
total shortage will reach at least $780, 900.

lu1l in the military operations the pres
ent surroundings Of the war show inter
esting developments. The colonial OF.
flee has telegraphed to Cape Town the
text of the proclamation concerning the
destruction Of property. This will not
be published in London until after its
promulgation in South Africa, but it is
known it will convey an intimation
that any wanton destruction Of British
property during the war will be re.
garded as warranting a claim for COM
pensation and as justifying levy upon
private property should the resources Of
the Transvaal republic prove made
quate.
The fact that the proclamation is is
sued by the colonial Office is regarded
as significant indication that the re-
publics will be administered as crown
colonies. In this connection it is un-
derstood that the leaders of the opposi-
tion in parliament now admit that no
other settlement is possible since the
republics insist upon their demand for
absolute independence. In view of this
the efforts Of the Liberals will be con-
fined to
Securing in the Settlement
the best treatment for the Dutch popu'
lation, including security against pre-
Acknowledgement.
1t is becoming regarded as quite a
settled matter that should the war be
ended, as is now hoped, before June
the government will dissolve parlia-
ment and appeal to the country on the
basis of stated South African policy.
Should the war drag on dissolution will
be postponed until next spring. In any
event one Of the foremost planks Of the
government platform will be army re-
organization.
There is no further information as to
the movements Of Sir Alfred Miner. 1t
is regarded as certain, however, that he
has gone to Bloemfontein to arrange
for the temporary administration Of the
Free State.
Indications from Natal seem to show
that General Buffers forward move
ment will not be long delayed.
A heliograph from Mafeking, dated
March 10, asserts that Colonel Plume1
has not been able to advance south of
Lobatsi.
