sum Of $495. 90. The note was @maae
in 1890, ] and under the statute o.
would hay been con-
aidered aoutlawed or. void, but the
plaintiff commended that It had been.
revived by reason of an Endorsement
Of $500 made In 1898. The defense
denied the Endorsement cl Ginning
that the payment of $25.0o had been
made to cover q book account then
existing between the parties at that,
time, and that therefore the note had
ceased to be q legal claim against
the defendant.
The case Of Agnes Artonowski vs.
Louis Schneider follow the Geissel
case. This was an action brought
by the plaintiff for 5000 dame ges
for alleged slanderous, utterancesa OF
the defendant concerning the plain
tiff. At the last term OF court; the
same plaintiff brought an action
against a brother Of this defendant
for breach OF promise. The case
was settled without coming to trial.
1t was concerning this former affair
that the alleged Islander was COM
mitted. The plaintiffs attorney, E..
s. Smith, testified to hearing the
s1anderous utterances, but he had
little other testimony to support his
claim. The case was speedily de-
cided by the jury. and a verdict for
the defendant was found.
The case of the Plano Manufacture
ing Co. VS.. j. S. Paquin was called
after the sland er case. The plaintiff
in this action sues for the price OF a

The defendant alleged a condition in
this sale that it was not to become
effective or considered a bona fide
sale unless the machine proved salts

ANOTHER sRIrlsA REVERSE.
Surrounded Near Reddersburg and
Forced to Surrender.

The reports of the recent operations in
South Africa are full of suggestion as to
the nature of the difficulties with which
Lord Roberts is now contending and the
renewed vigor of the resistance offered
by the Beers. Instead OF falling back to
strongholds farther north and waiting in
their intrenchments the burghers evident
~ are acting on the aggressive on all
sides Of Bloemfontein. Within a week
there have been engagements to the
southeast. to the south and To the north
west of the Free State capital 1t would
appear that so far from having accepted
Lord Roberts proffered terms of pacitica-
ton, the Beers are determined to make
his present position very difficult, even
il they do not undertake to hem him in
According to Fridays dispatches an en-
gagement at Boshof, town TO the north
and west of Bloemfontein. resulted in a
Boer loss of fifty men and the death of
Gen. Vilebois de Mareuil, the well-known
French stratcgist But simultaneously
came the report of the capture of five
companies of British infantry to the
south of Bloemfontein at town named
Reddersburg. The sudden appearance
upon Lord Roberts rear and near his
main line of communication of force
large enough to carry off half a British
regiment is suggestive, and the news of
the reverse cannot fail TO create consid-
cradle uneasiness in London. 1t is true
that Lord Roberts was able to commu-
nicate with Gen. Gatacre a: Springfon-
TEN, ordering him TO advance upon Red
dersburg, and presumably the main Brit
ish army is by no means cut off from its
base. But why Roberts should have call
cd troops from Springfontein instead of
detaching some of his own men at Bloem-
fontein, and how the Beers come to be
operating in such force near the British
line of communication, are puzzles which
cannot be solved in the light of the dis
patches.
The death of Gen. Villebois de Mareuil
viii be serious loss to the Beers, but it
is more than Offset by the British loss at
Reddersburg. The moral effect of the
Boer success in trapping five British COM
panies will be reflected both in the activ
ity of the encouraged burghers and in
the chagrin and disappointment shown in
England.

LONG WAR is AHEAD.
BRITISH UNABLE TO MOVE FOR
MANY WEEKS.
Roberts Awaits Winter Clothing for
His Troops -Bloemfontein Put Into
Shape for Defense Against Beers
Soldiers Guarding Free state Capital.

Britons are now beginning, though re-
luctantly, TO realize that Lord Roberts
is in for a winter campaign, lasting sew
eral months This is the end, in a few
words, of the high hopes based upon
Lord Roberts brilliant dash to Kimber-
ley and Bloemfontein. Preparations are
being made to hold Bloemfontein against
surprises Lord Kitchener has been Civ
en- an important duty, being responsible
for the protection of the railway, while
Lord Roberts is waiting for remounts
and winter clothing for the troops, whose
thin cotton khaki uniforms and boots are
worn out. Gen. Brabant and Gen. Cat
acre are both at standstill.
Lord Roberts Win probably for some
time confine his operations TO clearing the
Free State behind him of raiders and TO
relieving Mafcking. for which purpose
apparently the eighth division, now ar
irving at Cape Town, has been ordered
to Kimberley. Lady Sarah Wilson and
other Mafeking correspondents send d.
aries of the doings there, showing that
the Beers have tried by abandoning their
trenches to lure the besieged out into
mined ambush. Fortunately the British
engineers discovered the mine, cut the
wire communication and unearthed $50
pounds of dynamite and war gelatinc.
What the chances are for an advance
to Pretoria may be judged from the fact
that only from 5000 to 10000 horses are
on their way to the Cape, and from the
further fact that the military tailoring
departments only within the last three
weeks began making WOODEN khaki uni
forms.
Fifty-two prisoners, who were cap
tured at Boshof, have arrived at kim
berley. Only three are Dutchmen, the
others being Frenchmen, Germans and
Russians. Mr.. Steyn's address TO the
Free State raad at Kroonstad is confirm

5000 colonials holding fine defensive
country, but he, is apparently invested,
so far as London knows.

still excitedly protesting against Great
Britain's use of the Beira route in trans
porting troops to Rhodesia, but there IS
nothing to confirm the dispatch from st.
Petersburg to the Aftenblabet OF Stock
holm saying that Emperor Nicholas is

RULES IN FAVOR OF eeCkHAM.
Kentucky Court of Appeals Decides
the Governorship Case.

Kentucky Court of Appeals Decides
the Governorship Case.
With full bench sitting, the Court of
Appeals of Kentucky Friday handed
down a decision in the governorship case.
BY vote of to / the ruling of Circuit
Judge Emmett Field of Louisville, in
favor of Beckham is sustained. The dis
senting vote was east by Judge Durelle,
one of the three Republican judges, who
wrote separate opinion. The principal
opinion was written by Judge Hobson.
Judges Guffy and Burnham Republic
cans, presented shorter concurring opin-
ions.
Judge Hobson's opinion recites that the
action of the Legislature was final; that
the courts have no authority to reverse
this action; that the Governor exceeded
his authority in adjourning the Legisla-
ture in Frankfort to London, and that
the journals of the two houses of the
General Assembly being regular, cannot
be impeached Judge Durelle's dissent
ing opinion was based on the fact that
the Legislature at the time it assumed to
act on the gubernatorial case was a mere
contest board, and under the notice of
the contestants had no jurisdiction to act
in judicial capacity at that particular
time. He therefore holds the action of
the Legislature to be null and void and
subject to reversal in courts of law. The
separate asserting opinions Of Judges
Guffy and Burnham practically agree in
all vital points with the decision of Judge
Hobson. But while asserting as to the
main issues, Judges Guffy and Burnham
strongly condemn the Goebe election
