AN ILLINOIS FIGHT.

Cullom-Tanner Contest for Contr oil of the
Legislature on in Earnest.
SPRINGFIELD, Ills, Feb. 14.-The con-
vention Of the Republicans of Sangamon
county resulted in a split, the Cullom
delegates leaving the hall in a body and
a~djourning to the opera house. The
result is that two delegations will apply
for admission in the state and congress.
sional conventions and there will be two
Republican representative tickets in the
field.
The convention was called to order in
representatives hall by Chairman Grout
OF the county central committee, who
has been the leader Of the Tanner fac.
ton. The trouble commenced in the
very outset, when Chairman Grout an
nounoed that Maxwell township would
be entitled to one vote and Iaomi town
ship to four, instead of five, as stated in
the official call, and that Frederick Nor
timer (Tannerite) was entitled to the
proxy Of the delegate from Sherman,
which had instructed for Cullom.
Before the vote on permanent chair
man was announced the Cullom dele
gates, headed by Hon. David T. Littler,
withdrew to the opera house, where
they organized and elected delegates to
the convention and nominated a county
ticket, while the Tanner men, who re.
NAMED, nominated another ticket.

Orange Free State Envoy Says England

COPENHAGEN, Feb. 14.-Captain AL

forces, had during his stay at The
Hague a conversation with the envoy
extraordinary Of the Orange Free State.

The secretary of the envoy, a young
Transvaalcr, added that both republics
will have full freedom and indepen-

give up those parts of Cape Colony,
Natal, and Bechuanaland where the in
habitants have thrown in their lot with
the republics, for they must not be left
in the lurch. AS to the territory to be
conceded, the secretary mentioned the

BNJ0INS TAYLOR
Kentucky Democrats Conclude to
Institute Proceedings in
Equity
To Restrain Taylor From Exer-
cising' the Functions of
Governor.
Pending Results No Change in
the Present Situation Is
Expected.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Feb. ID. Before
Judge Cantrill at Georgetown the Dem
ocrats will bring a suit in equity asking
an injunction to restrain Governor Tay-
Tor from exercising any of the functions
of the Office of governor. It is expected
a temporary injunction will be granted.
In case the Republican executive disre-
CARDS the action of the court as was
done in the case, Alonzo Walker habeas
corpus Weyland, the injunction against
interference with the legislature, the
Democrats will not press the proceed
ings for contempt, but will take the
case to the court of appeals, which, &C.
cording to their contention, is the court
OF last resort in these proceedings.
This plan was decided upon at a con-
ference of Democratic leaders including
Governor Beckham, Congressman D.
H. Smith, Ex-Governor McCreary and
Judge W. S. Pryor, and several other
lawyers.
Pending the result of this suit and the
case before Judge Taft at Cincinnati,
involving the minor state offices, it is
expected both sides will allow things to
remain as they stand. The Democratic
legislature will remain in Louisville and
it is believed the court of appeals will
sit here instead Of Frankfort as long as
there are any soldiers or armed men
about the state buildings at the capital.
The assembly is proceeding with legisla-
tive business. The senate passed the
concurrent resolution which had already
passed the house for the committee to
investigate conditions at Frankfort.

A Liberal Offer.
Bismarck, N. D.

"A Liberal Oter.
The Northwestern newspaper which is
conceded the largest circulation is the
Minneapolis Tribune. As an all round
purveyor of information and entertaining
reading it's popularity is the best proof of
its ascendency.
What the Daily Tribune is to the city
people the Twice Week edition of the
same publication, the Farmers Tribune,
is to that great majority of the people of
the state who are too busy to read a
daily paper.
The Twice-a-Week Farmers Tribune,
is, to all intents and purposes, the farm
er's daily. It is a condensation of the
news for the three days preceding the
date of publication and it contains the
very latest news up to the hour of going
to press.
The Farmers Tribune does not pre-
sumo to take the place of the home
weekly, but it supplies the place just
outside of the sphere of the home paper,
and in this capacity it is of the highest
value to a large majority of the people of
the northwest.
The Bismarck Tribune has made ar
engagements with the publishers of The
Farmers Weekly whereby it is enabled
to make the most liberal and astonishing
offer we ever made.
If you are o a subscriber for the
Tribune we will send you The Farmers
Tribune t~wice-a-week) with your paid
in-advance renewal of subscription to
the paper. You thus get the two papers
for SIPS. No stronger inducement
could be offered.
The same offer is also extended to new
subscribers.
Do not delay taking advantage of this
offer. 1t will not be continued long.
You cannot afford to let this splendid
opportunity slip by. Send in your SUBJ
scription to the Bismarck Tribune and
get with it The Farmers Twice-a-Week
Tribune free.

Modern weapons Have Mad Useless Old
Theories of War.
LONDON, Feb. 14.-Julian Ralph, in q
letter to The Daily Mail from Modder
river, says the British defeats at the
hands Of the Boers are due to the fact
that tho methods of modern warfare
have been brought to a pause by the
demonstrated power of the weapons of
today. The essential qualities of the
army 20 years ago are no longer the SUI
prcme necessities Of success. The man
behind the gun stands more su-
preme than eve He digs a trench,
lines it with good shots, supported by
modern artillery, and no enemy can adj

be outfanked or starved, but while their

RENsBERG, Feb. 13.-Yesterday's re-

British Public Looks for News From Mod

= LONDON, Feb. 14.-The cessation of
war news from South Africa is taken to
indicate that the British preparations
for q move from Modder river are about
completed, and that important events
may be anticipated within a few days.
Interest centers almost wholly upon

General Buffers report Of his with

first time, through Lord Roberts, show.
ing that all the different operations over
the wide field will hereafter be moro

known that the military attaches have
gone to join Lord Roberts at the Mod
der river, another move preluding an
advance.
A dispatch from the Modder river an.
nounces the arrival there of the refu-
gees from the Barley west district.
They had been ordered away by the
Beers because they refused to Join the
Republicans. The refugees reached the
Modder river via Koodensberg. It is
learned that 200 Beers were killed OF
wounded during General McDonald's
reconnaissance. There is no confrma.
tion Of the reported sortie Of British
troops from Ladysmith, nor Of the Boer
outf1anking movement.
Areport comes from Durham that the
British artillery forced the Beers to
svacuate their camp on Hlangwana hill.

able to occupy the position.
The absence Of General French from
the Rensberg district seems to have i've

successes which are having considerable

the diplomatic agent of the Beers in
Europe, in regard to the probable course
the Beers would pursue in the event Of
his capture. DR.. Leyds assured the in

they would certainly hold him as host
