Death of Dan Slavens.

Dan Slavens died at Winston last
week and was buried by the Odd
Fellows with all the honors of that
order. He was born in Lawrence
county, Ohio, on January y, 1858,
where he spent his early manhood
days. He married Miss Sophia
Boyer, of the same place, on March
27th 1882. The family came to
Montana in April 1888 and lived for
several years on Deep creek, from
which place they moved to Neihart,
and in 1893 removed to Winston.
Mr.. Slavens leaves wife and one
son about 10 years of age, and also
his three brothers Harry, Edward
and Jerry, all at Winston. Many
old time friends at Neihart mourn
his loss, and extend heartfelt sym
pathy to the bereft family.

THE PERFORMANCE HAS AL
READY BEGUN.

The Butte Miner, Mr.. Clark's per-
sonal organ, has admitted that Sen,
Clark will lose his seat. The Hell
ena Independent, which he controls
has also thrown up the sponge in the
great senatorial struggle, but both
papers are editorially venomous
against the "conspirators."
"The fight has just begun" says
the Miner; and the Independent
hurls defiance in the following
words:
TO your tents, O democrats who
would be free! Organize for the
fight that is to save you and save the
state from eternal shame. 1t is war
to the knife, the knife to the hilt.
Sen. Clark wires his son that he
evil be vindicated either at Wash
ington or in Montana" AL of this
indicates that the famous democrat
ic row is not over. An expectant
world has turned away from Krug-
er's "price that will appal mankind, "
to look for Clark's "vindication."

SITUATION IN SOUTH AFRICA.
British Have Not Everything Their
Own Way. and the War Is Far
from Being Ended.

Mafekiig is suffering severely
from the iege which gives no hope
of abatement. The English have
found futher advance impossible
and have gone into winter quarters
at Bloenfontein. Lord Roberts
wires the var office severe censures
of Butler ind Warren and these will
be removed for incapacity. 1t is
said that many others British gener-
ais are sla ed for retirement, amount
ing practically to a reorganization of
the army. Lord Roberts is still 300
miles from Pretoria, and by late dis
patches he announces that more
soldiers will be needed in order to
reach the Boer capital. No one in
England doubts the ultimate sue
cess of the invaders, but the feeling
of enthusiasm does not run high,
and it begins to be asparent that the
South African war is not so pupular
as it formerly was. Indeed, fur
ther call for recruits will not be met
with the signal response which has
characterized all former calls.
An eastern paper gives an account
of Johannesburg as it was last sum
mer. 1t says it was splendid mod
ern city of 100000 inhabitants, with
banks, stores, beautiful residences,
hotels, one of which had wrought
iron veranda which cost 100000, fine
churches, and clubhouses. 1t was IA
Uitlander city, the outgrowth of the
fabuIously rich mines at that point
A perfect panic seemed to seize the
people when the war broke out, and
there was such an exodus as has
rarely been seen in modern times.
Men and women left everything
homes elegantly furnished, splendid
banks, clubs and stores and fled.
Today the business houses are clos
ed and the grass is growing in the
streets. There are left, beside the
natives, only about 5000 or 5000
Germans and Americans who are
employed by the Boer government in
working the mines. The Boer au-
thorities maintain order.
