whole OF the Dutch population of the
Prieska and Kenhardt districts are in
rebellion. Many of the Dutch from
neighboring districts are reported to
have Joined them, notably Piet Mool-
man, VINO will lead the rebels to

maHdlng the Beers, is reported march
ing on Carnaryon. 1t is believed that
Gordonia and Victoria West will rise.
II is thought that the total number
OF men in arms will exceed 5000.
The general opinion of loyalists is
that strong force OF British Will be
required, as a reverse would spread the
rebellion.

morously replied, according to story
circulated at the clubs. Put him in

Fresh intelligence as to what Lord
Roberts Is doing has ceased again.
This silence is taken to mean that
something has happened or is about to
happen.
Beers Mastery Retreat.
LONDON, March G.-The Standard
has the following from Ladysmith,
dated Saturday, March 80:
The Beers conducted their retreat
in most mastery fashion, without the
loss of single wagon or an OK. Only
Iew small companies have fallen into
our hands. In point of fact, we were
able to make only feeble efforts to in
terfere with their retirement.
Stores are pouring in today. The
progress OF relief, however, is slow. as
only sixty carts a day can cross the
pontoon bridge"

Demonstrates HYGIENE Cooking at
Winfield.

At a meeting of the state Social
Science federation, now in session at
Winfield Miss Jessie Hamilton of Wich-
tia, representing the Twetieth Century
club of this place. gave a demonstration
in hygienic cooking which attracted a
great deal Of attention and favorable
comment, being the most important part
of the afternoon program.
The evening session was devoted to the
departments of literature and music, I'M
der the direction Of Mrs. J. s Benton
of Fort Scott and Mrs. r. II. Warehouse
of Council Grove The subject of the
evening was Three Periods of Opera"
and the papers dwelling on these periods
were appropriately illustrated with mu-
steal numbers.
Mrs. G. A Bond of sallna opened the
program with a paper Origin of Gre
clan Opera" "PoIytheistic alteration
among the Greeks" said Mrs. Bond
was the chief inspiration in their mu-
steal and literary culture. The dithyram-
bic hymn, an ode composed in honor of
Bacchus, was the primal factor in the
development Of Greek drama or opera.
The development of music is inseparably
linked with the development of literary
culture"
Mrs. Bonds paper was followed by a
reading by Miss Bessie Hollinger Of Fort
Scott, who gave a selection from Last
Days Of Pompeii. The paper was further
illustrated by a Greek chant sung by
the ladies' chorus of Winfield.
merriam period was told of by Miss Abbie
Ware Of Topeka. in a charmingly writ
ten paper. "Wagner's mission said
Miss Ware, was TO bring the two care
fully developed arts. music and the
drama into true relation with each other
without subordinating either. But he
goes farther than this and emphasizes
artistic presentation. binding together in
perfect whole. meter. drama. coloring
and perspective" The author then took
up the opera Treston and Isolde. and
made careful analysis il it act by act.

SUIT FOR S35,500
Brought Against the Frisco
Railway.
LOREN CALDWELL SUES
For S25, 800 and His Father
for $4,000.

Loren Caldwell, a minor, by D. c. Clad
well, his next friend, yesterday filed suit
through his attorneys. Adams & Adams,
in the district court, against the St
Louis and San Francisco Railroad COM
pany, claiming damages in the sum Of
$4,000, as a result OF being run over by
a train operated by the Frisco company
on the 8th of last oNvember, in the city
of Wichita. Both legs were cut off just
below the knee, since which time he has
been confined to the hospital, and is yet
in a helpless condition. The plaintiff
sets forth in his petition a number of
grounds upon which he bases the liza
bility of the company on its negligence
in causing the injury. The plaintiff also
asks that the hospital fees, amounting
to, $500, be paid by the company.
His father, D. c. Caldwell, has also
filed suit by the same attorneys, claiming
of the Frisco the sum of $4,000 for loss
of services of his minor son, charging the
same acts of negligence charged in the
sons petition.
The accident happened at the Central
avenue crossing of the Kansas Midland.
In his petition Mr.. Caldwell states that
an engine going north with a string of
cars had pulled across the street and
then stopped and started to back up The
boy had started across the track as soon
as the cars had cleared the south side
walk, but the train came back so quick
that he was caught There was no one
on the last car as there should have
been, and Mr.. Caldwell alleges that if
brakeman had been there the accident
could have been prevented

HEWES MURDER CASE
Continued on Affidavit That
Stanley Promises Pardon.
JUDGE DALE'S REASON
MAY be Case.Where Politician
Will Keep His Promise"

Judge Dale Of the district court, yes
terday morning continued the case Of the
State of Kansas against George Hewes
of New Murdoch, Kingrnan county,
charged with completely in the murder
of man named Bonner, a blacksmith at
that place, because the attorneys for the
defense introduced an affidavit alleging
that Governor Stanley had promised 10
pardon the mans son, who is now in the
reformatory, having plead guilty to the
charge Of murder, If the case against his
father was continued until the next term.
This case was first tried in Kingman
county, where the son pleaded guilty. The
murder is alleged to have been committed
because Bonner killed dog belonging to
Hewes. The case against the father was
brought here on a change Of venue and
was filed in the district court in this city
April %. The people of Kingman county
seem to be very anxious for the convic-
ton of the father, as the county commits
sioners Of Kingman county employed
John e. Lydecker, an attorney of repute
at Kingman, to assist County Attorney
Amidon in the prosecution Of the case.
When the attorneys for Hewes pre-
scented the affidavit yesterday, the attor-
neys for the prosecution were astounded.
II was so peculiar and so unexpected
that they hardly knew what to say or do.
County Attorney Amidon, in speaking Of
the case last evening, said:
"As near as I can remember, Mr.. Ly-
decker in reply to the speech Of the at
torney for the defense in introducing the
affidavit and asking for a continuance,
said: 4 cannot conceive the idea of con-
tinuing this case on the promise of some
politician who has been elected governor
that he will pardon a convict to testify
in favor of his father for murder 10
which he himself has pleaded guilty.
"In answer to this Judge Dale said:
This may be case in which a politician
may keep his promise, as it happens he
is a candidate for governor this year.
Therefore will continue the case until
next term"

A THRILL OF ALARM
Caused in Great Britain by the Reverse
at DeYetsdorp.

London, Nov. 3O-The disaster at
DewetsdQrp has sent thrill of alarm
through Great Britain. The censorship
continues so strict that there is no hope
of arriving at clear conception of the
actual position of affairs in South
Africa. For instance, Independent ac-
counts of the subsequent proceedings
and the recapture of Dewetsdorp give
ample details, not omitting to announce
the capture of two Boer wagons and
a quantity of loot, but there is not the
slightest mention of the surrender of 400
British troops and two guns.
The Ubiquitous DeWet" seems again
to have gotten away, and, so far, there
is no news that the captured British
have been liberated Taking into con-
sidera ton the enigmatical military sit
uation north of the Orange River, the
smouldering rebellion in Cape Colony,
the rumors that France has promised
Mr.. Kruger to press arbitration on
England if he is able to obtain the
support of Germany, and that Lord
Kitchener, after all, is not TO be given
the chief command in South Africa, the
British government will meet the new
parliament next week at an exceeding
ly inopportune moment.
