Colonel De Hart is here in the interests
OF his fellow-townsman's gubernatorial
contest. He feels confident that Mr.. Hag-
gard will receive the nomination. He says
he deserves 1t because he is a competent
man, an honorable man and wise and
sagaciouS statesman. AS a criminal law
yer Colonel De Hart is one of the best
known men in the West. AS citizen he
is greatly beloved in his native town and
all over the State in fact. The cherished
scheme of Colonel De Harris later years
is ''Tecumseh's Trail" a beautiful park
situated near Lafayette and within two
miles and a half from where the battle Of
Tippecanoe was fought. This trail is sup
posed TO have been made by the Indians
travelling between Detroit and vincennes in
the early days. Colonel De Hart discov-
cred the trail In 1864 He came home from
the army that year to try to recover from
sicians told him he would have to go where
he could get plenty of fresh air. He
pitched a tent four or five miles north of
Lafayette on the banks of the Wabash
river and lived there for some time. One
day while the wounded colonel was lying
on the grass In front of his tent a couple
of early settlers came up. In talking with
them Colonel De Hart learned that his
tent was pitched within short distance of
the beaten track the Indians had trod
years before. The settlers told him where
he would find the trail and he located IL
as they had described. About ten years
ago Colonel De Hart purchased about
twenty-five acres of land traversed by the
trail and converted the real estate into a
sort of park for the use of himself and
friends. He built log huts and wigwams
and in summer spent most of his time
there. A few years ago when the State
was looking for land on which to build an
other soldiers home Colonel De Hart
promptly donated a part of the trail"
After the home was built effort was
made to get the street car company TO build
line to the home. but il is said the COM
pany refused unless IL could get the re-
mainder of the trail to use as a park.
Colonel De Hart, in order TO get a street
car line to the home, sold the remainder of
the land to the street car company at a
sacrifice. IL is said.

Orange Free State Citizens Warned to
Stay in Their Homes.


LONDON, April 25.-A correspondent of
the Standard with General Brabant at
Zastron, telegraphing Monday said: BE
fore leaving Rouxville, on the advance
northward. General Hart issued the fol-
lowing proclamation:
Take notice-inhabitants of Rockville
and all concerned that you are allowed to
remain in occupation of your homes in
peace and quietness, subject 10 your proper
behavior, always as noncombatants in this
war and TO your obedience to such rules as

not be for oppression, but for precaution.
and l hereby direct him and all troops
under his command to treat you with all

of hostility towards the troops of the
Queen, not consistent with the honorable
customs of war with regard to the be-
havior of inhabitants considered TO be nom

Another Effort to Rush the Garrison

LONDON, April Is, a. m.-The reports
that the siege of wepener had been prac-
tically raised were apparently premature
The Boer attack upon Colonel Dalgety
northern position as described from Maseru
was probably final attempt 10 rush the
garrison before securing a safe retreat
and as Colonel Dalgety successfully re-
pulsed the attack little further anxiety Is
felt on his account.
Lord Roberts has now spread a net with
some 10000 or more men and $50 guns, COW
ering the whole western semi-circle around
Wepener, while General Hamilton has oc-
cupied the water works, practically with
out opposition.
The seventh division, under General
Tucker. assisted by naval guns, has made
a demonstration from Karee Siding, the
Roers showing some opposition AT the
same time a brigade moved out from Glen
to take un a position on range of hills
at Gennsadenale north of the Modder The
water works were found unchanged, with
the exception of the removal of the sliding
valves of the pumping engines.
The Beers now can only escape without
risking an encounter, northward to Lady
Drand, ana the cndnce OF successful Jul
come of the plans of Lord Roberts depends
on whether the British troops can reach
Thaba Nchu and Ladybrand before the re-
treating commanders from De Vets dorp
and Wepener All the correspondents re-
port that the roads are in a terrible con-
dition, which accounts for the slow
progress of the British columns and. IL
the Beers are as well Informed of the Brit
ish plans as they hitherto have been, they
are likely again to escape.
1t is now within three weeks of the date
predicted for the British occupation of
Pretoria, and, although the present opera
ton, as suggested in some quarters. may be
the beginning of the main advance, 1T is
not certain that they will not entail a fur
the halt at Bloemfontein.
