Renville County Seat Contest Set.
tied by It's Location at olivia.
Olivia, Mimi. Oct. 81. = The cam
wasting board met at Beaver Falls
yesterday and canvassed the vote on
the county seat proposition. They
found Olivia had a majority of about
1900, or about 6S per e of the vote
cast. The board declared the prop
osition carried and ordered the rec
ords moved to Olivia, and a large
number of men and teams went to
Beaver Falls for the purpose of re-
moving them to his place. The ques-
ton is thought to be settled for all
time to come now. olivia five years
ago had the county seat for a few
months, but Beaver Falls carried the
matter to the supreme court and had
enough votes thrown out to defeat
the removal. The county seat con-
test has been carried or in Renviile
county for over twenty years. but 1t
is now finally settled and work on the
court house will be started immedi-
ately.

London, Oct. 3f.-The war Office has
received the following from Lord
Roberts, dated at Pretoria, Oct. 20:
Knox successfully engaged pewet
Oct %. During the Boer retreat Knox
caught Dewet in the Rensburg drift.
The Beers lost considerable and left
two guns and three wagons in Knox's
hands. Another ammunition wagon
was blown up by q shell. The Brit

Referring to the Jacobsdal affair,
Lord Roberts says 1t was due to the
treachery of tsa Inhabitants who adj
mitted the Beers to their houses at
night. They opened fire, at daybreak.
Fourteen men were killed and thir-
teen were wounded, mostly Cape
Highlanders. Troops dispatched from
the Modder river drove Off the Beers.
The houses of the trcacherous inhab-
itants were destroyed. Commandant
Bosnian was killed.
Lord Roberts calls attention to the
increasing inclination Of the better

New York, Oct. 31.-By a series Of
terrific explosions following a fire in
Tarrant's wholesale and retail drug
store at the southeast corner Of
Greenwich and Warren %sereets, hun
dreds of men and women were injured
and many killed. Both sides of War
rem street, between Greenwich and
Washington, were laid in ruins and
buildings for blocks around were
wrecked In all degrees. For half q

The list of missing so far reported is
comparatively scanty. Tarrant's big
seven-story drug house had been long
regarded by the entire neighborhood
as little better than a powder maya
zine. 1t had been common talk among
businehss men and the employees IN
the business. houses in Warren, Green
witch and Washington streets, that
should T~arrant's place get afire there
would be but one thing to do and that
would be to run. At the first rumor
that the dreaded event had come, that
the place actually was on fire, people
poured out of the nearby houses n
fed. Furthermore. the time of the
accident was just the hour when many
of the employees were out at their.
MONDAY meal, and this also undoubt-
eddy saved many lives. In addition to
this there was an interval between the
first explosion, which was compare

was terrific and did most of the dam

London, Oct. Silt is impossible to

crushed to death. The man was not

broke down completely and the streets
were filled with a surging multitude.
1t was impossible for pedestrians to
make any progress and the difficulty In
restoring order became greater every
minute. The arrangements for keeping

police and volunteers were hopelessly
intermingled. A long line of policemen
pushing forward, shoulder to shoulder,
and backed by a line of volunteers
failed to keep the line clear, for the
reason hat it was simply a question of
weight and the crowd vastly outnurn-
bered the police. Such a concourse was
never before witnessed in the streets of
London, and yet with all perfect good
temper prevailed.
The volunteers On arriving at h ca
thedral filed into the long pews and
filled the nave. Bishop Stepney
preached a brief and simple sermon,
welcoming the men home, and Canon
Gregory read the lessons. The men
paraded outside the cathedral at $50
and then marched to the quarters Of
the Ancient and Honorable Artillery

quet was held. Although there was
much drinking n rowdyism, there
was a resolute and passionate assertion
of patriotism throughout the days
