BoER MOVEMENT CHECKED.
This is the Latest Statement Made by
Lord Roberts.

This is the Latest Statement Made by
Lord Roberts.
LONDON, April 1.-THE forward
movement of the Beers is checked"
says Lord Roberts. This is taken to
mean, not by fighting, but by DISPOSE
tions to head off their advance and bar
their way to vulnerable points in the
British communications. Relief is on
the way to Wepener. The Beers in
Natal appear incapable of developing
an aggressive movement to Eland-
slaagte.
BLoEMFoNTEIN, April 14.-Accounts
received here of the fighting of the
troops under Colonel Dalgety at WEEP
ener show that the Beers attacked
them vigorously, but were repulsed
with great loss. The Beers subse-
quently relinquished the attack, and
it is said here they are returning
northward.

london Leader Thinks This is the Case
at BlOemfontein.
LONDON, April 1.-The Leader says:
Reports from Boer as well as from
British sources are to the effect that
our losses near the Bloemfontein rail-
way are truly lamentable. They show
distinctly lack of care and leading.
In the face of surprises we seemed ut
te4y without resources and relied only
on pluck. That is a safe card in play,
but costly one. Lions led by asses
was the old description of the British
army, but we thought we had learned
something of late years in commits
stoned ranks. What light does this
war throw upon that possibilitv?"

siderably Altered.

LOGAN, April i'll. w. Byers has
withdrawn from the congressional
contest in the Ninth district. The
cause of the withdrawal of ex-Speaker

his friendship to Judge Macy, his fell

are asking for the republican nomina-
ton for congressman from this district
are Hon. Il. b. Swan, of Atlantic;
Judge Macy of Shelby; congressman
A. L. Hager, of Greenfield, and Judge
Walter 1. Smith, of Council Bluffs.
Others have been mentioned, but these
four seem to be the only ones who are
actively in the field and asking for

Interiors OF Their Homes.
Now that the backbone of this re-
markable winter is broken, housekeep-
ers are remarking the dingy look OF
the home interior. The question Of
new wall coverings is up. Paper is
dear and short lived; kalsomines are
dirty and scaly; paint is costly. The
use of such a cement as Alabastine,
for instance, will solve the problem.
This admirable wall coating is clean,
pure and wholesome. 1t can be put
on with no trouble by anyone; there
is choice of many beautiful tints; and
it is long lasting.

the inactivity of Lord Roberts is not

that the recent British defeats are due
to the encouragement of the troops

The Richest Woman's Story.

How Hetty Green, the famous f.

of being the richest woman in
America, has made and kept her
millions will be told for the first
time lin the June Ladies' Home
Journal. In view of Mrs. Green's
vast wealth, so great that che her.
self cannot exactly compute it, the
story of her home life will also be
especially interesting, by. reason of
it's extreme simplicity. In the ar
ticle Mrs. Green tells how she has
bought and sold railroads and
towns, and how she has compelled
political managers to do her bid
ding-showing the enormous pows
er of money in these golden days.
Her daily life, too, is interesting,
for early and late she is at her task
of watching her wealth and eagerly
adding to it, being stranger to al
most any other recreation. Sever
al pictures of the woman with mil
lions, made expressly for the arti-
Gle, will give it additional interest.
