Poor Enx,,.h Grnrr.,..

London, April 23,-Iast week was a sad
week for the british generals. The brew
ing storm that was overhanging their
heads received its electric spark through
the publication Of Lord Roberts censures
regarding the engagement at Spion kop,
II descended in a merciless torrent from
nm unanimous press. AT the present mo
mcnt General Butler could find no better
way to cndear himself to the hearts OF
the people than to request his recall; but
one who knows the Natal commander in.
timatcly tells the representative OF the
Associated Press that he is far too thick
skinned TO take such step and will stick
to his post despite all criticisms and ava
lanchcs Of adverse public opinion. Nor
IN Lord Kitchener spared in the present
outbreak. There Is story going the
rounds Of the clubs that tho great man
VI the Soudan' has been severely sat upon
by the "little man Of Afghanistan. and
specific instances Of diagrccments between
them are quoted.

Str m r. for Crushing Ice.

The great and powerful ice-crushing
steamers Of the lakes are without ex-
ception car ferries-that Is, they trans
port whole trains Of passengers and
freight cars from one terminal Of rail-
way line to the other, thus controlling
an important link where bridges would
be impracticable.
These ice-challenging ferries ply the
straits OF Mackinac, the Detroit River
and across Lake Erie from the Ameri-
can to the Canadian shore. They are
hug, steel-shod craft weighing several
thousand tons and some OF them have
cost more than $35O.OOO each. Fitted
with propellers at either end, they
crumble the Ice by the pressure Of their
bulk as though its three or four feet
we're but the thickness Of cardboard.
Whatever else Is wanting, adventure
Is not lacking In the lives Of the men
who spend the months Of snow aboard
the majestic monsters which are to the
lake tracks what the snowplows are to
the railroad lines. A few winters since.
with thermometer ranging from Is to
80 degrees below zero, one OF the car
ferries was caught in an immense ice
field on Lake Erie and fosted around
for a few months with 4 great mass Of
Ice piled mountains high around her. A
portion OF the crew was. OF course,
obliged to remain aboard and each day
a couple OF the men made an attempt
not always snccessful-to 20 ashore In
order to secure provisions and supplies.
ofttimes this meant long. dreary trip
across the Ice. and frequently. when a
yawning chasm Of dark -hued water in.
tervened between the shore and the
edge OF the icefeld. the foragers were
not able to return to their imprisoned
comrades for intervals Of several davs

Weed Law Arouses Iowans.


Iowans are thoroughly aroused TO the
execution Of a new law requiring
weeds In the highways to be cut 1t
a proper time. The statutes require
that If In any case The weeds Of lands
In the public roads are not cut before
Aug. IL it becomes the duty Of the road
supervisor Of the township to take the
case In hand. In the event that the
land owner does not within three days
heed the written reminder given him
Of the laws requirement, then the SUI
pervisor shall cause the weeds on SUCH
land to be mown. and he shall make
return of his bill for the work at rate
not to exceed 81 per day, which shall
be paid from the district road fund.
The amount so paid Is then entered up
and levied against the lands on when
said weeds have been destroyed ana
collected by the county treasurer the
same as other taxes. Auditor Mlliln'
Of Taylor County, has stated In tne
newspapers that the call for copies OF
the road law bearing on weeds was
SO great that the edition became e1-
hausted, after which the same was
printed as regular advertisig matter
