London. April IA dispatch from

London. April IA dispatch from
| Aliwal North. dated April II. says:
| "A detachment of 300 of the KouXvill,
| commando is patrolling in this direction
| Many Of the men 60 TO their farms al
night and rejoin the detachment in the
morning. The kouXville commando mum
hers 100 men. \ large body Of Basutos
is closely watching events from the Dor
der. The weather is too cloudy to per
mi, heliographing.
1T is reported that the Beers lost
heavily in the recent fighting at Wepener
There is much weeping among the
women. and an urgent message for as
sistance has been sent to the RouXville
commando. There was fighting at De
Vets Dorp today"
The Third di, ision, now commanded by
Major General Chermside. the successor
Of General Gatncre sent back to Eng
land, has arrived at Reddcrsberg without
any incident worth recording from Beth
any. The Beers have been located south
OF the Wepener and Smithtield districts.
IL is calculated that Lord Roberts now
has 1900 effective troops, with 1000
more ahoat or under orders.
In roundabout way London hears
thar Lord Roberts, in wiring to the
Prince OF Wales at Copenhagen congrat-
ulations upon his escape from assassina-
ton, added two or three hopeful sen
tences. portending an early advance with
wide reaching combinations.
Quiet assurances are passed around
among military men that Lord Roberts
Is employing his great army effectively
and that the adventurous Boer comman-
dos are likely to be enmeshed.
The country around Bloemfonten is
fairly white with British tents, and the
enormous force under his command is
growing in strength and receiving the
much needed supply of horses and mules.
Beers Intrenching.
On their side and evidently in expecta-
ton of an attack the Beers at Brandfort
are intrenching themselves parallel to
and east of the railway. They still hold
the BloemfOntein waterworks in great
force and are also strong at Waterfall
drift, doubtless with the object of keep
ing up the communications with General
Olivier's commandos to the south.
The colonial forces, which are beset by
the Beers ut Wepener, are still holding
out well. They are carefully outstanding
their ammunition, according to one story,
while the Beers are said to be short The
arrival of LORD Kitchener at Aliwal
North may foreshadow swift rush by
the bulk of General Brabant's division
to rescue their comrades in cooperation
with flying column sent from Bloem-
fontein to take the Boer besiegers in the
rear.
Much admiration is expressed here at
the recent daring operations of the Beers.
In Natal the burghers, apparently fired
with a desire to emulate the successes
gained by their brethren in the Free
State, have attempted to cut off the Sun
day river camp from Ladysmith and to
press forward toward Dewdrop from
Van Reenen's pass and toward the south
by way of Helpmakaar.
A portion of General Buffers army has
been detached to swell the forces of the
in chief knowledge of this
may have helped to increase the activity
Of General Botha.

WINTER WAR
Lord Roberts Preparing for
Cold Weather
RELIEF FOR wEPENER
Great Distress at Mafekinq
and no Relief

London. April 1.-THE forward
movement of the Beers is checked says
Lord Roberts. This is taken to mean,
not by fighting, but by dispositions to
head of their advance and bar their
way to vulnerable points In the line of
British communications.
Relief is on the way to Wepener.
The Beers in Natal appear incapable
Of developing an aggressive movement
at Elandslaagte.
The latest from Mafeking is that
there is great suffering there and no
relief in sight.

c. Y. MAIN Line
Rumored Changes on the Gen.
trail Vermont
THROUGH WILLIAMSBURG
New Station to be Built at
Blackwell Street. Change
will Make One Hours
Difference to Boston.

1t is rumored, and has been for some
time, that the Central Vermont Rail
road contemplated some important
changes IN their road at Barre. What
| those changes were to be were not
definitely known, inasmuch as it was
impossible to secure information from
any of the officials.
1t is said that the Williamstown
road is to be extended, this year,
through to Royalton, and this be made
the main line of the road.
If this extension is built it will be a
saving of more than one hour to Bos-
ton from Montpelier, Barre, SO. Bar
re, Williamstown, East Brook field
North Randolph, East Randolph, So.
Randolph, East Bethel to North Roy
alton.
All trains going south or north
would of a necessity pass through
Barre .and instead of being isolated
we would then be practically on the
main line as well as all those stations
above mentioned, some of which are
not on branch.
The first rumor occurred last year
when this company built the bridge
across the river to connect with the
Burnham meadow: but this connec-
tion did not amount to much as the
Barre Railroad company procured an
injunction against the Central Yer
mont restraining them fronl crossing
the tracks on the meadow his in
junction still stands, as the Central
Vermont has not even answered it.
The second rumor is that they will
establish new quarters on Blackwell |
street, with new and up-to-date pas
senger depot and also large freight
depot, with offices sufficiently large to
accommodate the extra number of
clerks required. This new line will
run through Williamstown to Roy
alton.
1t seems that before the building of
the Barre railroad in 1888 the Central
Vermont had secured by deed or by
option, land clear through to South
Barre, but thinking they had mon
oply of this they did not build across,
but contented themselves by remain
ing on this side. There were granite
sheds on the meadow at this time and
the owners did not like the fact that
all their stone had to be teamed to
and fro, no matter how small the dis.
lance. The idea that granite could
be brought down from the hill cheaper
by railroad than by horse power en-
tered the heads of some of our prom
nent men and as the Central Vermont
lid not show any inclination of going
towards the hill, these three gentle
men held an interview with ID. r.
of the Montpelier & Wells
River railroad at Montpelier, and a
stock company was formed for $50, 900,
Mr.. Sortwell taking one half the
stock Immediately. The balance was
soon subscribed for around the city.

Information through official

Information through official
sources has reached the govern
ment health officer at Astoria to
the effect that Bubonic plague iii
an epidemic form exists in
Chinatown OF San Francisco.
In consequence of the. deternlina-
ton of San Francisco health
officers to vaccinate the Chinese
in order to stop the spread of the
disease a riot occurred among the
Cinnamon. The Chinese are
taking steps through the courts
to enjoin and restrain the health
officers from vaccinating them
and quarantining their places OF
business. II is claimed that rats
are dangerous in spreading the
disease. In some foreign coun-
tries where the disease prevails
the authorities maintain a sys-
telnatic process of killing all oi
the rats possible in order to pre-
vent the disease from spreading.

The only reason why demo-
Gratis have been able to fill some of
the public Offices of Benton coun-
ty during the last several years, lis
because republicans have been
induced to vote for them. In
presidential elections and OH
state officers the county is easily
carried for republicans by from
so to 100 votes. Whether the
consideration which induces re-
publicans to abandon their party
candidates and vote for the oppo-
sition, is for favor or otherwise,
they should consider we'll the re-
suit before voting. When the
county offices are occupied by
democrats they are in position
to exert a very great influence
and effect in battling against re-
publican success in the election
of president and state officers.
During the last presidential cam
paign some county officers of
this county made strenuous eff
forts to throw obstacles in the
