EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: At a
regular meeting of Manhattan Post, 271,
Department of Kansas, IA r., So men,
bers being present, in response to request
in General Orders No. 4, from Department
Headquarters, the following were .unani-
mously adopted:
WHEREAS there has been a number of
bills introduced in the Senate and House
of Representatives, along the lines of SOL
der legislation; and, to all appearances. it
has been the custom TO introduce similar
bills at each session Of Congress to create
a buncombe sentiment or political clap-trap
to catch the soldiers vote; and,
WHEREAS at each session such pension
hills are buried by reference to the Pension
Committee, without power or seeming in
clinatiOn to rcsurrect them; and.
+! WHEREAS the soldiers of 1861 to '65,
and widows Of old soldiers, at their age
and physical condition, care more for ac-
ton than sentiment or the introduction of
many bills for potoriety: Therefore,
Resolred, That we recommend to our
Representatives that they concentrate their
efforts upon the amendments to sections
two and three of act of June p, 1890, and

SOUTH AFRICAN WAR.
Beers Assume the 0ffensive-SOme Sharp
Engagements.

The Beers resumed the offensive last
week, as was indicated they purpoSed
doing in our last issue. Some sharp en-
gagements have resulted, 10 the BoerS'
advantage as whole.
RobertS'S leaders continued TO arrange
their forces to prevent surprise, on different
parts of his line. At the beginning of last
week the situation developed a remarkable
and threatening activity on the part of the
Beers; Kitchener had been given the i'm
portant duty of being responsible for the
protection of the railway; Brabant and
Gatacre were at StandStill. On April IL
it was cabled that it was evident that the
Beers were moving about in large numbers
over a wideregion south and east of Bloem-
fontcin, apparently making a general
attempt to discover strategic opening.
Their numbers were supposed to be between
1900 and 5000. They were moving with
the utmost caution along a line of COM
munication which is regularly patroled.
interruption of the railway and re-enlist-
ment1 of farmers who came in under
Roberts's proclamation seemed TO be among
their objects, doubtless in view of the un-
rest reported at Philippolis and Fauresmith.
On the 18th fighting was simultaneously
reported at Wepener, Elandslaagte and
Buetfontein.
Wepener was surrounded on three sides
by tbesBoers, with the Basuto border on the
fourth side. Here, in Brabant's District,
1000 or 5000 ColonialS were stationed.
The retirement of the Irish Rifles from
Rockville left them without communica-
ton. THE Colonials are regarded as a
splendid force, and their lines were said to
be perS strong. Conflicting reports came
of the fighting on the 9th and 10th; the
losses on both sides were reported as seri-
Gus, but, at any rate Col. Dalgetty, COM
nland5Ag the Colonials, held out, Gen.
ChermsiIie with the Third Division, started
to his assistance.

CURESDEADLYCANCER
A Tennessee Doctors Wonderful Dis
covery That Cures Cancer With
out Knife or Caustics.
Is Home Treatment Which Anyone
Can Apply Without Pain
or Danger.

After years of study and research, Investigate
ing thoroughly every theory that has been ad-
vanced, Hrs. Reynolds, of Nashville Tenn. have
discovered q cure for Cancer and kindred dis
eases that is attracting wi iespread attention.
The useleSsness of a surgical operation for
Cancer is demonstrated every time it Is under
taken, for the deadly disease always breaks out
afresh, and is often more violent than before.
The remedies used by Drs. Reynolds permeate
thoroughly the diseased parts and destroy every
trace OF the Cancer. The healing process tien
begins and the cure is thorough and permanent.
Mr. p j. Tinsley, who is the lending wholesale
milliuer of Nashville and one of the largest Ia
the South had Cancer on his lip which became

and kept rushing from one building Il
another for plunder. Some would throw
stones -lt large plate-g glass windows anc
mash them in. The excitement increaseC
with the fire. Soon the Quartermaster
and clothing rooms were broken INTO, anC
guards could do nothing with the mob
saw three large rooms that were filleo
with boxes of goods, gutted in half an hour
Men went in droves about the streets
CARRYING pants, blouses, shirts, overcoats
and everything that Quartermasters have
Some said ii was all right, as the Quarter
master had no transportation for it, and the
soldiers might as well have a free issue OF
clothing as not.
Parties were to be seen on every corner
Offering to sell clothing at any price they
could get for it. Such scenes as these
continued as long as the buildings remained
uhburned. In the evening flames caught
the buildings i'll which were stored the
commssary goods, and it is said a large
amount of eatableS were burned. The
Quartermasters say they had no trans
portation for it. To me it looks like cruel
negligence on their part to have on hand
more than was needed.
The burning of the city is an awful
sight, and to its people a sad blow: With
it goes the hopes and fortunes OF many
and the fruits OF many years labor In few
hours. We returned to camp from the
flaming streets with thoughts of the great
orabIe day, and history will so record the
events we We're witness of.
From camp the view was best; immense
volumes of smoke rolled up, and among
it fierce flames. A dull roar was going on
all the time. accompanied by the fall OF
walls and buildings. About II O'Clock
the flames reached some public buildings
which had been mined with powder, kegs
of which had been placed in different parts.
As III flames reached these, loud explosions
took place, scattering things and making
the sight sublime. The fires ragged all
night, and could doubtless be seen a long
distance.
Wednesday, Nov. 16.-We start on the
"long and tedious march," as Sherman
tells us in his order. 1t will require all our
strength and patience, but he tells us we
must bear our part, as we have done be
fore, and all would come out successfully,
and, it is thought, strike blow that will do
much toward accomplishing the end we
so much desire-peace and the end of the
war. We were not told where We were to
go, only that we were to march q long and
hard journey. BY noon all trains %Cre
loaded and troops in line, and we turned
our backs on Atlanta TO leave it. We took
the road east to Decatur. and passed over
the battle-ground where Gen. Mcpherson
was killed; many graves and fortifications
were 10 be seen, and all the trees were much
battle-scarred. We camped five miles
beyond Decatur, q small and badly-usad-
up town, and were III sight of Stone Noun
tain, which is a remarkable elevation of
bare stone, with hardly tree or shrub
growing on it. From here we could see
kenesaw Mountain, SO miles distant.

tion- The case therefore attracted considerable
notice, and the results of he skill and remedies
of Drs- Reynolds were received with general sat
isfactiOn- air. Tinsley recently wrote: - / had

gravated form. l was cured by DrS. Reynolds,

markable cures of cases which they have never
