For woman's guidance is found in the
fact that DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton cures female weakness and the dis
eases of the delicate womanly organs
which darken the lives of so many wom-
Ell with suffering and sorrow. That ray
of light has penetrated many darkened
chambers where women moaned in mis-
cry, and has guided them out to health
and happiness. uFavorite Prescription"
is not tonic, not palliative, but pos
tive cure for the diseases which are
peculiar to women. 1t gives vigor and
vitality. 1t banishes nervousness, head
ache, and all the aches which come from
diseased condition of the womanly
organs. A temperance medicine, it con-
tains neither alcohol nor narcotics.

and female weakness and my doctor gave me
but little relief" writes Mrs. Lulu Hunter, of

Root street TO Garfield boulevard, were
lined with excited people who had
rushed out q their houses to see what
was causing 90 much commotlon. Then,
to add 70 the excitement, the patrol
wagon, filled With policemen, was sent
out TO assist the capture.
Just al dusk two boys. both wearing
caps, blOuses and oyeralls, entered the
main gate 70 the yards and walked d.
rectly 10 the office 'of Nelson Morris. In
front stood the horse of Siegel Hess. one
OF the head buyers for Mr.. Morris. The
animal was tied With strap. The boys
loosened this, and both mounted A
moment later they passed out OF the,

He described the condition that ex-

dramatically, II felt II would have been

A wave Of applause passed over the

quickly drowned with Kisses. Il had

Since then there has not been a single
plural marriage In Utah. The plural
relations had been broken up in many
cases. Death had kindly solved the
problem for some and the heartaches II
left for some made them wish the same
end had come for them. He insisted
that the compact with the United
States had been observed; that polyg-
amy had practically ceased; that the
Mormon Church had given up polyg-
amy in good faith.
Mr. Roberts said he had been in pub
lie life for twenty years and was not
driven 10 the defense OF his moral
character. He was not here represent
ing the Mormon" Church. He had re-
ceived greater number of votes from
Gentiles than from "Mormons." you

Mr.. Roberts, in conclusion. II will

There was a great outburst of ap-
plause in the galleries when Mr.. Rob-

the galleries were especially demon

Boer Camp Upper Tugela River.
Sunday. Jan 2l.-After Commandant
Botha checked the British advance
yesterday morning II was expected
that there would be no further action
until tomorrow. However. signs were
discerned Of an intended movement in
the British northern camp. When the
heat. which was more frightfu than
any yet experienced, had worn off, the
British cannon started, In full force.
and the infantry advanced IN extended

hills over which the road to badysmlth
passed. When the Mauser fire opened
a pandemoniDm Of sound filed the air.
The vlndictlye crash Of lyddlte shells.
the sharp yoley of Lee Metfords and
the whip-llke crack Of Mausers were
lnterspersed With the boom Of the Boer
Maxims. The battle ended with dark
ness, but not without evidences Of exc
cution among the British that were
manifest at sunrise.
First Cornet Ernst Emilio was killed
Nor did the generals escape unscathed.
At the ceDtral position, Swartkop.
where the other road to Ladysmith
crosses the hills, the British advanced
from low kOpIes on the banks Of the

the zone OF Mauser fire, and although
their naval guns kept up the usual ter
riDe racket, the advance was stopped
and the British had 10 count out their
dead and wounded.
Commandapt Vilioen and two bur-
ghers were knocked senseless by an ex-
plosion OF lyddite, but Commandant
Viljoen recovered, Field Cornet He'll

surrender, was shot. The British loss
was probably insignificant.
They complain that expansive bullets
In Mausers were fired In the field and
soft-nosed bullets with Lee -Metfords.
The Beers admit that sporting Maui
sers were occasionally found, but they
deny the charge respecting expansive
bullets. Not a shot was fired by the

This must have staggered the British.

New York, Jan. PA dispatch to the
Tribune from Paris says:


Mr.. Macrum continues 10 take partic-
ular pains not 10 dispel the mystery
which the Paris papers attach to his
journey. DR.. Leyds, President Kruger's
diplomatic representative in Europe,
who has arrived in Brussels, says he
was not aware OF any extraordinary
mission which had been intrusted to
Mr. Macrum. He said he had met the
ex-consul at Pretoria, but had not seen
him here in Paris.
The Paris papers publish the state
uient cabled from Washington that Mr..
Macrum, being no longer In the consul
lar service, has received no instruc-
tons from the government regulating
his attitude toward newspaper cores
pondents. When pressed by inquiries,
he said:
II am still in the United States con-
sular service; certainly have received
no intimation to the contrary"
When urged to give explicit In
formation as TO the nature Of his In
structions, and 10 say from whom they
emanated. Mr.. Macrum finally ad-
mitted that he had received no such
instructions from Washington, but said
that under the circumstances silence
Is dictated TO me BY common sense"
He said that all funds received at the
United States consulate al Pretoria up
10 the time OF his departure, which had
been sent from London to British pris-
oners, had been distributed TO them.
When he was asked why. assuming
that his mission 10 Washington was OF
such urgency. he did not take passage
on the North German Lloyd liner Saale.

that. coming from the hot African oli-
mate. he wished 10 get warm winter

fore going 10 New York.
He wears a miniature South African

quests 10 be relieved OF his duties AZ

New York, Jan. IA dispatch to the
Herald from Brussels says: "since the
beginning Of the war to the battle Of
colenso, the Beers say they have lost
2l2 killed, es2 wounded. eighty Of whom
have recovered, and 200 prisoners"
New York, Jan. 2i-A dispatch to the
Tribune from London says:
General Butler found 1t difficult on
Sunday night to claim any marked suc-
cess in the British assault upon the
Boer westernmost stronghold, ard Pre-
toria dispatches indicate that the Dutch
were satisfied with their own work.
The only satisfactory feature was the
proof offered by the light casualty lists
that the British soldiers were content
under prudent leadership TO remain un-
der cover and to check reckless charges.
These tests We're not large in proportion
10 the number Of troops engaged and
considerable percentage OF the off,
GERS and men included In them were
slightly wounded. British soldiers were
learning to night among the kopjes
and to take shelter behind the bould-
ers.
An English South African, almost I'M
rlvalled In experience and knowledge,
says that his hopes are centered In
General Warren rather than in General
Butler. He says that Warren has long
been known among the Dutch as The
general For example, a friend accom-
panying Cecil Rhodes through the
Barley West district, during his elec-
ton tour In August. 1898, heard con-
slant references 10 "the general" and
asked who he was. "Sir Charles War
ren, Of course" was the nvariable re-
ply, Before Mr. Rhodes had foreseen
and carried out the great scheme Of
expansion northward, General Warren
had been preaching II to deaf ears. HIs
expedition Notwithstanding In 1855,
when the Beers were disputlng over
war northward, was bloodless. This
was due to the dread which his name
inspired among the Transvaal Dutch.
He has had a greater experience In
South Africa than any other British
general, and his column is the only one
that has attacked the enemy in the Bcer
way among the boulders and kopjes.
and taken advantage Of the cover Of
fered by the rocks.
The plan on which the British troops
are now operating was not heard Of I'M
III Warren's arrival and the compli-
ments so freely bestowed upon the
theoretical brilliancy OF Gen. Buffers
turning movement have been earned In
reality by the general who Is carry
Ing out the new method Of operations
with wariness and elaboration. Gen.
Warren Is described as a man OF mill
tary genius, and as profoundly religious.
resembling in many respects General
Gordon. and having a far-seeing mind.
He has no social qualities, and It Is
probable that his aversion for drawing
rooms and the dislike OF the Lord VOL
esley gang for stern. mystically-
minded soldier Of the Gordon type. have
stood in the way OF his promotion.
II Warren succeeds II will be the most
brilliant feat Of arms since the penin-
sular campaign, and Gen. Buffers vic
tory will be followed by the complete
caving In OF the Dutch forces, and the
war will virtually be ended: II the
movement falls the fault will not be
Warren's, but the collapse OF Buffers
campaign will be most disastrous.
