Magersfontein,

London, February l5.-The silence at
the front has been broken. After Cen
eral French's cavalry brigade, which
had been maneuvering around Coles
berg, seized on Monday a. crossing of
the Riet river ait Dekil's drift, THE sixth
and seventh divisions crossed, and are
now enlcamped on the east bank of that
river. The sixth division is Kelly- Ken
ny's, which has been reported to be CO.
operating with French and Gatacre for
clearance of the country south of the
Orange river. The seventh division is
fuckers, which has been believed to be
at the Modder river. These two divi-
sons, with French's cavalry brigade
and new infantry brigade, made up
from bat'talions lining the railway from
DeAar Junction, are now cooperating
With General Methuen's army in great
thanking. movement on the Riet below
Kimberley. The Dutch had apparently
been msled, for they weakened their
forces In a quarter where THE attack
will be made and strengthened them
where the British will remain on the
defensive. This general fianking move
ment has been supported by a move
ment of mounted infantry from the
Orange river railway crossing ITO Ra-
NAH. Colonel Hannay, who comma nded
this column, engaged the Beers on the
hills and finally pushed his force
through to Its destination Tuesday with
compara atively slight losses. The cas-
ualty list amounted to thirty rIine. This
entire movement, with the concentra-
tion of nearly all the British battalions
outside of Natal and the slender COL
umns left under Gatacre and Clements,
has been brought about by scientific
strategy under the rigorous operation
OF a censorship, the utility of which has
been demonstrated ait last. The relief
OF Kimberley will evidently be the first
work of Lord Roberts, and a march up
on Bloemfontein the sequel to 1T.

The Annual Meeting Of the fioistein
Friesian Association.

The Southern Farmer has re-
ceived from Mr.. Frederick II.
Houghton, secretary, q condensed
report of the proceedings of the
annual meeting of the Holstein-
Friesian Association, held at Buff
falo, June 6, 1900. The meeting
was a very interesting one and
doubtless will do great deal to
forward the interests of this velu-
able variety of dairy stock. The
president in his annual address re-
ferred to a cow five years old tes-
ting as high as Go per cent fat,
and producing 4.83 pounds of but
ter in a day. SURPRISING any Off
cial record for th time made by
any COW of any age. The official
seven day milk for a COW three
years old was formerly 568a
pounds. A record of $50 pounds
6 ounces now takes it's place. The
most remarkable record of all is
that made by the same three year
old COW of 24.48 pounds of butter
in seven days, SURPRISING the best
former official three year old re-
cord by 2.54 pounds. It is stated
that this is not only official, but
all chance for csvil and question
as to its accuracy was set at rest
by a re-Sest, which was ordered
and in which the COW showed an
increased yield.
Another COW, making an official
record of over "a pounds of butter,
did it at a feed cost of only 4 cts
per pound. In a public show
ground test q COW, after being
shipped from her home and with
new surroundings, made 4.25
of butter in a day and SO
pounds in two days.
From these data we may readily
see that the enthusiasm now man.
lfested by the breeders of Holstein
Friesian dairy stock is certainly
based on a good foundation.

Daily Itsm.

Daily Itsm.
Once upon a time, there was q
labor riot in this town, and it was
observed, or charged, or believed,
that the then Mayor, then sll-pow-
erful and commander-in-chief in
reality of the police force, was in
sympathy with the mob.
The Legislature of the State
created a Police Hoard, with all
power. Fearful, that the Mayor
might have some authority, it left
him mere figure-head. which, in
1896, it was attempted to correct,
but the Mayor was found, when
the amendments were adopted, to
be responsible figure-head, with
no authority at all.
The rioting in New Orleans was
due to a worthless police force.
The Thursday afternoon States
said: 'Not q single arrest was
made by the police throughout
last night and this morning. No
attempt was made to take into Gus
tody any of the members of the
mob. Several policemen express
ed themselves az being in favor of
shooting the negroes"
The worthless police force is
due to a political and worthless
Police Board, and there is no e.
Gaping that conclusion.
At the time the law was enacted,
taking from a worthless Mayor
every vestige of power over the
force, the promoters of the law
warned, that worthless Mayors
were an exception and not the rule
in New Orleans. They we're told,
that time would come when a
good Mayors hands would be tied;
that he would be powerless to pro-
tect his charge, and that a worth
less commission would evade re-
sponsibility behind a worthless
law.
Well, we have reached that
time, and a great city, in her ex-
tremes, cries out for relief, and the |
worthless Board bubbles with the |
worthless law.
Now New Orleans has a Mayor
whose determination to do his full |
duty to any and every emergency
has been shown, and the worthless
Police Board, attempts to play up |
on him the cheap, political trick of |
fastening the responsibility upon
that Mayor.
The Board will do or perform any,
thing the Mayor may intimate or |
suggest. As the Board is 80 sensi-
live about their legal status and |
their legal power, will the Board
stand up and point out the law |
which authorizes them to clothe
the Mayor with imperious powers?
Not that we are not anxious, that
Mr. Capdeville did not at this mo- |
nent enjoy that power. Did he,
here would be an end to worth
ess Police Board and q worthless
police force.

Yesterdays Receipts Were
Lighter Than Usual.

The hog market was steady yesterday
and remained strong and active all day.
While the. buyers did not expect any
large receipts yet they oped to have
more than came in. All the markets are
suffering for hogs, but at the present
time the Wichita market is suffering
more than any other. Hogs are badly
needed here and it is well for shippers
to know it. Those VINO are bringing in
hogs are profting by the stringency. for
they are getting right prices. The mar
ket closed early for the reason that no
more hogs were reported after 4 o'clock.
The hogs brought IN were generally I'M
even. The top price was $4.95.
