The defeat OF Mr.. James X Hall
in his fight for the Republican nom
nation for auditor, was disagreeaz
BILE surprise to the Republicans OF
Ohio county, and to the citizens Of
Wheeling generally. Mr.. Hall is Il
very genial and pleasant gentleman,
and many people who had no poljti-
cal interest in his candidacy sincere
ly hoped TO see him win the honor
which he sought 1t is impossible
to predict with any exactnes what
will be the effect, if any, Of. Mr.
Halls defeat, but it seems reasona-
bly, certain that it will very eonsid
erably lessen the effectiveness of the
Republican organization in this sec
ton. Next TO the defeat Of the
Ohio county candidate, the shabby
manner in which the county. ard for
that matter the entire First congress
sional district, was ire lated in diyid
ing the other offices, is likely to
produce serious dissatisfaction
Mr. Hall has been the head and
front Of the Republican organiza-
tion in this county. and his able
leadership has done much to roll up
Republican maiorities. Having just
come through long, exhaustive
and unsuccessful campaign, he is
not likely to have either the energy
or the physical ability to make the
same kind Of hattie that he has
heretofore made. and his place as a
leader will be very hard to fll.-

"Dont ever twit or try funny business

knew him knew that Armstrong never
tolerated unjust accusations, great or
small. In his desire to say an irritat-
ing thing TO man he both envied and
respected, the staf officer had not con-
fined himself to the facts. and II proved
n boomerang. II was true that two
days before, calling at Gordon's official

many questions about and finally asked
to speak with him. Then young Nor

The Canadian west Is not only a
good place to locate permanently. but
II Ia also q good place to invite their
relatives and friends to come to.
This Ia the spirit that seems to ami.

been confined TO these centers Of pop

Of good crops and fair prices. II Is
q movement more spontaneous. more

A Large Force Operating Ten Miles
From Psardeberg.

Paardeberg, Wednesday, Feb. Is
The latest reports announce that large
force of Beers is operating 10 miles
away on the British right front.
All the prisoners We're paraded yester-
day afternoon They extended III long
trailing line, like serpent across the
plain ard as far as possible were ar
ranged in commanders. The Free
Staters were kept separate from the
TrGnsvaaers. The look upon the faces
OF the men as they passed made it im-
possible to arrive ut any other conclu-
sion that they were all overjoyed at
their release from the daily hell of shell
and shot which they had been expert
encing lately. Many did not even take
the trouble TO conceal their delight from
the soldiers guarding them. They chat
Ted freely with the British discussing the
different battles i'll which they had
fought.
Some of the sick prisoners have given
vivid description of General Cronje's
night march. 1t hegan in Il panic and
terrible confusion prevailed throughout
The huge wagons crowded the narrow
road There was an utter lack of order
and descrtions were numerous. From
