PRELUD|NG An ADVANCE.

cate a Move Forward.
IT'S NOW up TO FIELD MARSHAL ROBERTS
All Eyes VIII Now be Ccntered ON
the COmmanderjn-Chicf ana HIS
Cbief-of-stan, Lord Kitchener
Until Their Plans Shall be DeVei-
oped by Their Movements.

London, Feb. 14.-The cessation OF
war news from South Africa is taken
TO indicate that the British prepara-
tiops for a move from Modder river
are about completed, and that import
ant events can be anticipated within
a few days. Interest centers almost
wholly upon Field Marshal Roberts,
especially since Gen. Buffers report
of his withdrawal from Naal krantH,
came, for the first time, through LORD
Roberts, showing that all the differ
en- operations over the wide field VIII
hereafter be more completely CO.
ordlnated. 1t is now known that the
military attaches have gone to JOIN
Lord Roberts at the Modder river, an
other move preluding an advance.

announces the arrival there of 1,iO0
refugees from the Barley West dis
trict. They had been ordered away by

MUST BE CRUSHED IN SUCCESSION.
Spencer wilkinson's Review and Forecast
For the Future.

Lcndon, Feb. 15.--Spencer Willin-
son, in the Morning Post, discussing
the news from Rensberg, says;
"This intelligence is the natural
price paid for blow elsewhere, The
concentration at Modder River is ap-
paIcntly accompanied by weakening
of the force at Colesberg, and of this
tile Beers have taken advantage, to
assume the offensive.
Meanwhile, it looks as though the
enemy had withdrawn their forces
from Magersfontein to reinforce those
at Colesberg, where a Boer victory
would threaten the communications
between Cape Town and Modder Riv'
err
Reviewing the whole campaign, Mr..
Wilkinson says that the type OF the
coming operations recalls that of the
American civil war, Developing this
thought, he remarks;
"bIitish strategy must be to crush
in succession each Of the three prin-
cipal Boer forces, near Kimberly,
Coiesberg and Stormberg, by bringing
against them greatly superior num-
bers. Much depends on what happens
in Natal. Gen. Joubert is not likely to
abandon his present enterprise against
La6ysmith until disasters to the Boer
army compel him.
"Thc opinion that the invasion Of
the Free State will be sufficient TO
bring the Free State troops out of
Natal and win induce the Free Staters
to submit is not based on q true esti'
mate of the nature of the Boer. The
two republics are fighting for national
existence, and they will stand or fall
together,
"This war will not be ended by
strctcgical maneuvering or by the oc'
cuFaton of geographical points, but
by the destruction of the Boer army,
taking the word destruction in its mil
itary sense of decisive defeat, inyoly-
ing dispersion of an army as an ~
ganized fighting force"

LOUISIANA PURCHASE FAIR
The Sentiment In Its Favor Seems
to be General ana Grow
Ing at Washington.

Washington, Feb. l4.-From all the
Indications, the st, Louis worlds fair
bin comes to congress with more gsn-
eral support than any other similar
measure which has been proposed
since the Chicago worlds fair. The
members Of the house from the Louis
lana purchase states seem to be as en-
thpsastic for the fair as the citizens
OF st. Louis. They are taking as much
interest in II as II IT was to be located
In some city in their district There
are indications, too, that the interest
and the support Is by no means con-
fined to the representatives from the
louisiana purchase states, The pro-
jcc, is regarded generally as national
In It's scope.

Good Advice.

Rev. J. A. Anderson, who, with hi,
family, was held in quarantine at Pine
Rluff on account of little son upon
whom vaccination did not take being
stricken with smallpox, writes as fol.
lows in regard to vaccination; For
one, am sure that this winter will not
end the trouble in this country; the
germ is too widespread for that. We
have nothing to do with the contro.
very about the value of vaccination,
but can only say that we would vacci
nate our own family, as we have done
Our belief is that the disease is in thii
country to stay IS long as there is ms
terial for it to work on, and there IA
not a man in all Arkansas that can tell
what day it is going to appear in hi,
family"

LIVE STOCK STATISTICS.
An rncreasc of Half a Billion Dol
lars In Live stock Naiues
in Three Years.

Washington, Feb. 15.-Mr John
Hyde, the statistician OF the depart
mep. of agriculture, has issued the
following bulletin:
The statistician of the department
of agriculture has completed his an
nual estimate Of the number aud value
of live stock on farms. Returns from
more than $4,000 correspondents show
that OH January ! there were on
the farms of the United States 1885,
s94 horses, 2,Os6,O27 mules, 16,292,3eq
milcb cows, 27,610,054 other cattle, and
Il, ,sS3, ,065 sheep. This is decrease Of
l27,7S5 in the number of horses, OF
1856 in that Of mules, and of 3S4,17l
in that of cattle other than milch
cows. On the other hand, il is an in
crease of 302.245 in the number OF
milch cows, ard of 2,76s,612 in that oi
sheep.
The department has made no estt
mate of the number of swine, but VIII
await the enumeration to be made by
the United States census IN June next
There has been an increase i'll value
during the year, averaging s7'2l pei
head in the case of horses; $500 pei
head in that of mules; S1.94 per head
in that Of milch cows: S2.iS per head
in that of other cattle, and IS cents
per head in that of sheep. This rep
resents total increase in value dur
ing the year of nearly $4,000, 900, eX'
clusively of a manifestly considerable,
but not definitely ascertained, increase
in value of swine.
The total increase in the value OF
the farm animals Of the United States
during the last three years exceeds
$3.50, 100000. Farm horses have in
creased in value $15l 100000; mules,
$40 100000; milch cows, $4,000, 900;
ether cattle, $1sl 100000; sheep, $780,

Junk Merchant In Trouble.

A blind man named Sists, of New,
port, advertised for old junk, and he
met with such abundant success that
he is in serious trouble, although he il
not accused Of being a party to the
thefts which have come to light. The
entire sawmill Of E. L. Watson was
brought into the city and disposed Of to
Sists, and the Iron Mountain railroad
lost hundreds of dollars in brasses
castings, links and pins. 1t is not known
positively who committed the thefts,
but it took more than two men to work
the game. The boldness OF the crime Is
without parallel.
