Minneapolis. According to the con-
tract, the basement story is to be of

Judge Bishop, of the court of Polk
county, has decided that mutual insur-
ance companies are not required to
pay local taxes, as there IL no provision
for 1t in the statutes and the per

will entirely escape taxation until the

small guard north of Surprise hill, the
whole of the enemy lately besieging
the town retired in hot haste, and to
the south Of the town the country is
quite clear of them. The garrison
was on a half pound of meat a man
per day, and were supplementing the
meat rations by horses and mules
The men want little nursing before
being fit for the field"
Beers Saved Their Guns.
The Beers seem to have gotten quite
away from around Ladysmith without
losing gun or their baggage. Van
Reenan's pass is only about twenty
miles from Ladysmith. The enemy
had artillery in action Tuesday, and
they probably utilized both railroads
in retreating, sending the heavy pieces
to Pretoria and the lighter ones into
the Free State.

SUFFERING IN SIEGE.
Stories From Ladysmith Tell of sickness
and Death,


and Death,
LONDON, March 4.-The Times, Mail,
Standard and other papers will publish
dispatches this morning revealing the
truth about the pitiable condition OF
the garrison at Ladysmith. Between
the casualties and the typhoid fever
5000 out of l., 900 passed through the
hospital. Medical supplies of all kinds
were exhausted by the middle of jan
uary and the men who entered the hos
pital had little chance Of getting out
The total losses during the siege were
COS, of whom $40 died of disease aud
$50 were either killed or died from
wounds. There were 500 men wound
ed. There were 1000 civilians and,
during the EARLY part Of the seige, sew
eral Thousand natives in the city. The
severe privations of the g arrison began
during January, when the rations
were reduced, and thirty horses and
mules were killed every day for soup
and sausages. The presence of = large
body Of cavalry, for which the military
authorities have been censured by
nearly all military writer's, was really
safeguard against starvation, for the
horses have helped to keep the soldiers
alive.

Chicago Strike situation Assumes Most
Serious Aspects.


CHICAGO, March labor troubles
in Chicago have assumed q most SER
ious aspect. A general strike order
has been issued by the International
Association of Machinists calling out
1000 men to join the $4,000 now idle in
the building industries and other
trades. BY the machinists' strike
every one Of the s1o-machinery manu-
featuring plants of the city is either
seriously embarrassed in its work or
completely tied up. Several hundred
non-union men refused to go out, but
every shop is being watched by union
pickets and efforts will be made to dis
suade the men from continuing at
work. To enforce the Chicago tie-up
and prevent the manufacturers from
having any work completed in other
cities, the shop committees in every
plant in the country have been motif
fed by President O'Connell to be on
the lookout for Chicago orders and re.
port at once. At any plant where Chi
cage work is found the men Will be
called out at once.

LONDON, March 3.-The war Office

from Butler:
"LADYsMTH, Friday. March 2.-I

plete than had dared to anticipate.
This whole district is completely clear

Reenen's pass, where several wagons

Their last train left Modderspruit
Station about o'clock yesterday, and
they then blew up the bridge. They
packed their wagons six days ago,
moving them to the north of Lady

LONDON, March 3.-Lord Roberts at
osfontein, six or eight miles east OF
Paardeberg, faces the reformed Boer
army, from 5000 to 5000 strong. This
may be merely corps of observation,
ready to retire on prepared positions.
Doubtless it is receiving accretions
from the late besiegers of Ladysmith
and from other points. Whatever the
force may be, Lord Roberts has ample
troops to cope with it, AS a heavy
rain is falling on the veldt and the
grass is improving, this win be good
thing temporarily for the Beers. Lord
Roberts has surprised observers by the
excellence of his transport during the
first advance and he is likely to do SO
again, although military men here
think he must wait for some days be-
fore going much farther.

the first time they were ever allowed
to vote. The entire number of votes
cast by them was 3l2. The publica'
ton of the names, which was not ex.

as most of the women did not care to
have their names mentioned.

posted his soldiers concealed among
the trees lining the road and when the
enemy arrived the Americans volleyed
unexpectedly, killing twenty-four in

ing several. Some arms and ammuni-
tion were also captured. The effect Of
this blow has been salutary. The en-

the Districts Product.
DIES MONIES, March ACCORDING to
letters received relative to the new
coke plants and the experiments with
the hard wien of coal found in the Des
Moines district, it has been demon
strated that this product cokes freely
and holds its combustion at $500 de-
grees, about the same temperature as
that at other points. The letters also
stated that the five great plants to be
erected in Iowa would go forward at
once, but that Des Moines and Ottum-
wa would have the. first sets of ovens.
The delay in beginning operations
towards the installation of the mechan-
ical work has been occasioned by the
further experiments of the inventor,
which he desired to make.
