THE BAD BOERS
CAME BACK AGAIN
Driven Out of Two Positions
But Wouldn't Stay Out.

\ DELAYED Dispatch Brought British
Rejoicing. but it Was Nipped ir
the Bud by a Later Dispatch
British Losses Were Very Heavy.
LONDON, Feb. Is "A delayed dis
patch from Rensberg, dated yester-
day morning, gave much cause for
British congra ulatiOLs in its state
ment that the Beers who had occU-
pied Bastard's Mex and Hobkirk' :
windmill Saturday had been driven
out Of those positions by the English
artillery and were in full flight, the
British having occupied both places.
A later dispatch from Rensberg.
however, dated last night. puts an
other complexion upon the fighting
there. 1t seems that the Beers, ac-
cording to British reports, would
not stay away after they were
driven out, but returned in force
and made vigorous attack driving
in the OutpOsts of the British left
flank, and they would not stop at
this, but forced the fight and soon
re-occupied both positions, compel
ling the British to retire in haste to
Maeder's farm.
The fighting was very severe and
there were several casualties, but
details of the losses are not given in
the dispatch.
The almost entire cessation Of war
news from South Africa is taken To
indicate that the British prepara-
tIons for the move from MOdder
river are about completed and that
important events may be expected
in "A few days.
Interest centers almost entirely
upon Lord Roberts. especially since
Gen. Buffers report of his with
drawal from Naal KTdntZ came for
the first time through Lord Roberts,

The absence of Gen. French from
the Reu-berg district seems to have
given the Beers the opportunity for
renewed activity. They have ap-
parently begun an extended attack
Oh the lines and are meeting with
minor successes.
The British have abandoned

EAT NO COOKED FOOD.


Twenty-three men and women.
pledging themselves to eat no food
that has been cooked, constitute the
Chicago Raw Food society, organized
at the Grand Central Passenger hotel
the other night, with b. Tyler as
president. 1t was decided to try to
bring about the organization of kin
dred societies throughout the United
States.
Mr.. Tyler, in addressing the meet
ing, said:
NO oak ever grew from a burned
acorn; parched corn will never sprout
when planted roasted chestnuts
never produced chestnut tree. nor
were peanuts ever grown from plant
ing roasted peanuts. All that is life
giving in anything is destroyed by
fire. 1t was never intended that man
should eat food that has been cooked;
that he should take into his system
dead cells to replace the worn-out
cells cast off by the body"
Prof. Tyler said that it was from
reading Darwin that the idea of raw
food diet was suggested to him. Res
olutions were adopted that contained
the following:
Resolved, That it is our firm con-
viction that man could live longer in
proportion to the number of years
required for his development by eat
ing raw food; that i'll health would
be the exception rather than the rule,
and that pestilence and contagious
diseases would be wiped from the
land. We believe that children reared
on uncooked foods will become giants
physically and intellectually. We
know that the cost of living could be
reduced to ten cents per day. We be-
lieve that the world would be morally
improved, because those living on raw
foods are always healthful and in a
pleasant frame of mind, and have no
desire to commit wrong"

kim high in the air and tossed him
into the Hudson river, distance of 90
feet.
The engineer of the express train re.
versed the lever. bringing the train to
stop so suddenly that the passengers
were shaken up. The engineer and
conductor jumped from the train and
ran back, expecting to find a dead man,
No mangled form was in sight, but q
man swimming calmly to the shore said
he had suffered some Inconvenience
and delay on his homeward trip. The
man climbed up the embankment

the railroad company was going to do
about it.
We'll take you to Fishkill Landing

Sikh saw the chance for free ride
and accepted the compromise. He got
into the baggage car and was carried
as far as Fishkill Landing.
You had better go to the hospital"
was suggested by the conductor.
Sikh saw the chance for a free meal
and again he was agreeable. At the
hospital it was discovered he was not
hurt, He was hungry. however, and
food was given him. Refreshed by the
food and rest, Sikh decided that he had
stopped long enough and been fully
repaid for the collision with the eX-
press train, so he started out on foot
for New York. He does not regard his
collision with the train as seriously as
he does the ducking.

soUAws DANCE AND EAT DOG.
Osnge Women In Kansas Indulge in
Reyoiting Feast and
Many Die.

Thirty squaws of the Usage tribe
result of medicine dance and dog
feast which they held on the banks
of Beaver creek, near the town of
Pawhuska, the fore part OF the week.
Only the squaws took part. Each
squaw in the Usage tribe is worth over
$20,0J0, and She has had that much
moe spent in trying to make an edu-
Gated woman out of her, but without
avail.
The squaws have not held one of
these celebrations for number of
years, and the Indian agent was much
surprised when he learned that there
was Il dog feast in session. About 500
squaws from all parts of the nation
assembled for the dance and 800 fat
dogs were slaughtered the first day.
They were cooked in huge kettle,
and the squaws all drank the soup
and devoured the meat from the ket-
tie where it was cooked They would
plunge their face down into the mass
of dog meat and soup and eat and
drink their fill. Then they would
take the greasy bones and munich
them like so much choice candy.
Every squaw wore a blanket, and
had her face painted. The bucks were
not allowed upon the grounds.
After the squaws had eaten their
fill of the dog meat, the chief squaw,
Lily Dog Face, called them together
and suggested that they dance awhile.
The squaws stripped off their blankets
and commenced to dance. Some of
them fell in a faint. which was con-
sidered a GOOD omen.
The dance lasted all the first night,
and the next morning the squaws had
another feast. The next afternoon
the dance commenced again. and be-
fore dark ten of the dancers were
dead. They kept on. however, until 30
had died
