Will He Succeed2

A late dispatch to the New York Tril-
une from London says; The effect Of the
victory upon Sir Redvers Buller's cam
paign in Natal was discussed By veterans
last night with intense interest
II was generally conceded that, while
General Joubert's soldiers will be dis
heartened and General Buffers soldiers
viii be inspired to emulate the example
of their comrades in the west, there will
be more desperate fighting in conse-
quence Of Lord Roberts success. Ger
eral Joubert has now no motive for an
immediate retreat, since II Is too late 10
effect General cronje's deliverance. He
has behind him Sir George Whites
army, which is nearly starved out and
helpless from lack of ammunition. II
he can repel General Bul er's assault
upon his strong defensive position and
drive hin. back to the Tugela, he can
compel General White to surrender and
in a way offset Lord Roberts victory.
besides changing the balance In the com.
parative list of prisoners. The opinion
in official circles is that Lord Roberts
has rendered General Buller's campaign
more difficult by his victory.
There was no official news from Gen
eral Butler when the war Office closed
Thursday at midnight, and the press dis
patches were fragmentary and inconclus-
i've. 1t was clear that there had been
a weeks heavy fighting, with serious
losses on the British side. The Beers
were apparently reinforced on Friday
and made determined effort To drive
back the British briga1es. General Bull
ler's men only held their ground after
desperate fighting. Military writers are
beginning TO criticise General Buffers
tactics in putting forward his lines and
not nassing his troops for an attack.

DR.. Wyman Suicides.

DR.. Hal M. Wyman of Kettle Falls,
Wash, committed suicide in Spokane
"Wednesday by taking some unknown
poison. About noon Mr.. Wyman was at
the Ruby saloon, Front avenue and Divi-
sion street, and his companions noticed
him turning black in the face and that he
was taking heavy ifaughts Of what was
thought TO be laudanum The police pa-
troll was called and the dying man re-
moved TO the Protestant hospital, where
he died in less than half an hour. Dr.
ID. l.. Smith, assistant county physician,
was called and administered several emet-
les and also applied a stomach pump, but
without avail. II have visited patients
who have taken opium and laudanuni,
but never saw case like the one this
afternoon" said DIR. Smith. The suicide
had taken some other poison, probably
strychnine or cyanide Of potassium, l,
is said that the suicides wife committed
suicide last January, and ever since DR.
Wyman had been despondcnt and had
been drinking heavily. The body lies al
Gilman's undertaking rooms and will re
main there until DR. Wyman's father ha.
been heard from at Minneapolis.

The Beers Are Now Being Massed to Re-

Soon after the surrender of Cronie.
General Butler relieved the besieged gar
rison at Ladysmith. Agarrison Of 2ooo
men had been besicged in this fort for
five months. They had suffered from
short rations and disease, but stated they
could have held out six weeks longer.
The Beers retreated in good order from
their positions around Iadysmith, taking
with them their arms and ammunition.
The evacuation and escape is regarded as
fine strategy by military tacticians.
cronie's forces only numbered between
three and four thousand men and only
few pieces Of artillery were captured
The Boer commander, his officers aud
men are we'll treated by the English.
The British express admiration for their
courage and endurance.
General Roberts has encountered lou
bert, in command of large Boer force,
which is resisting his advance upon Blo-
emfontein and into Orange Free State.
The English are very enthusiastic,
They offered to send reinforcements to
the front, and the soldiers in the field
seemed to be greatly encouraged. II is
believed more severe fighting will follow
the advance Of the English invading
army, The Beers are supposed to have
100000 men all marshaled for the defense
OF their county.

limit. Now under that limit our limit
would be $rs5, 900, which should be the
limit of our indebtedness, and if we sell
bonds to take up the outstanding war
rants, amounting to $50. 900, our bonded
Indebtedness will then be Si6a 900. Now,
supposing we keep running in debt
$4,000 year as we have for the last
eight years except last year. in very
little while our warrants will be worth
fifty cents on the dollar. Then, If man
has bill against the county for SIoo, he
brings in bill for S2oo, and when we
pay that bill we pay Saooin place of sIoo,
which We would have to pay if our war
rants were at par. We're these ideas of
some parties carried out to an extreme it
seems to me il would be only question
of time until we were bankrupt, for GER
tainly no county can run behind hand,
$4,000 per year and keep it up many
years.
While we hope and pray that the free
homestead bill will pass and that the
property comes in To the ass, ssible list
there is no surety Of it, and grant it thus,
it will be long time before 1t all comes
in, and while am no advocate of trying
to reduce the debt, believe it is better
financial policy for Nez Perce county to
raise revenue enough each year as nearly
as possible (unless some very extra event
occurs) to pay the current expenses OF
the year and not run in debt only to a
very slight amount, il at all. Watching
the expenses with very careful eye, col.
lecting the taxes more promptly aud ef-
ficiently than in the years gone by (espe.
cially the personal taxes) and all TO take
more interest in county affairs selecting
the best men for the Offices, it seems to
me, the best way out of the difficulty.
Thanking you for your kind considera-
ton extended to me the past year, re-
main, very respectfully,

of $4,000. The property owners who are
to be benefited by the removal of the
ditch are to be asked TO pay one-half of
the purchase price. The question of
drainage now afforded by the ditch was
discussed by the city engineer, who be-
lieved it should be kept open till an eff
cient sewer system could be arranged.
Mr.. Grostein suggested that the ditch
right of way be opened for street when
it should be vacated as a water way. The
proposition was we'll received.
A petition OF residents on Idaho stree,

Knepper delivered the address of wei

President Blandon of the University of
Idaho delivered an address on the subject
of "The University in State Economy"
Following is ali extract from the thought
full address:
"The universities are the steadfast
friends of the public school. In our con-
stituton they, together with the normal
schools, constitute the public school sys-
tenn. They differ only III their Offices.
In Germany her great universities are
not more distinguished for higher learn

and usefulness among the people. And
who for a moment would assert that Ok

| tai to the commons of England-two
forces that more than any others have
supported the English dominion by en-
dowirg the English mind? These two
universities, it is claimed, have carried
the English flag around the world. And
shall not our people love and cherish
their university, now growing in power
and usefulness?
