Despite the Surrender Of Cronje
with three or four thousand men the
universal verdict in Europe is that the
end of the Boer-British war is not yet
in sight. Reports are so contradictory
and reliable figures are SO unavailable,
that it is next to impossible to judge
with any accuracy Of what condition
the Beers are in. 1t has been reported,
seemingly on the best of authority,
that the Beers had in the field an army
of 10000 beside those under Cronje.
But it is evident that it is easy to over
estimate and exaggerate the Boer
forces. British reports have done it
repeatedly. The army of Cronje is an
instance The British believed that
there were at least 10000 men with
Cronie. This over estimate was prob
ably due to the mobility and splendid
craftsmanship of the Beers. 1t is not
at all unlikely that even greater
overestirate was made of the number
of Boer troops fighting about the Tu-
ge1a and in the neighbo-hood of Lady
smith. Moreover, other very good
authorities state that the number of
Boer forces is not greater than 10000.
This figure is the figure given before
hostilities as the maximum the Beers
could thoroughly enter the field
against the English without calling
upon the women. In case the Beers
have $4,000 men in the field at present
it is reasonable to suppose that they
may hold out for some time. In order
to unite their forces they will no doubt
soon abandon many of the cities they
are now endeavoring to besiege, but
even on their own territory Gen. Jou-
bert with $1,000 men CAM make strong
resistance. If Pretoria is as inlpreg-
nab1e as Mr.. White represents it to be
the British will have plenty of hard
fighting to do before the end comes.

CRCNJE has surrendered, Majuba is
avenged and all England rejoices.
Such is the tenor of the reports from
London. To have brought about the
capitu1ation of Gen. Cronje is not to
merit great praise. Surely it was not
a feat Of brilliant generalship and
courage for 100000 British soldiers to
defeat and cause to surrender 5000
Beers on British territory. Possibly,
according to the law of an eye for an
eye and a tooth Ior tooth Majaba
Hi119l1as been avenged. Possibly
telling blow has been struck at the re-
sistance of the little South African re-
public. Possibly Great Britain has
taken another stride toward the goal of
her ambitions. But she has not wiped
out the disgrace Of Majuba, only aug
mented it. Nor has she done anything
approaching the va1or and heroism of
the Beers at Majuba or wherever else
they have raised their arms in self
defense.
The Transvaa1 Republic is so small
thing as to be scarcely noticeable on
the map. Cronje is one of its generals.
For nine days he and his little army
faced annihi1ation to keep the invader
from his country and enable the patri-
otto army to assemble for a final
stand. Should the Transvaa1 live to
be a greet power, Cronje would be en-
rolled on the calendar of the worlds
heroes and the nations would sing his
praises. But the Transvaa1 is threat
ened with destruction and Cronje and
his army will probably .be nothing
more or less than part of the unfor-
tunate mass that sought to sustain IL
self in the face of the triumphant
march of British Empire.

INVITES KENosHA.
Col. DuttOn Tells of the Coming Gathering
of Racine OLD Settlers.

Old Settlers of Kenosha County,
The next annual meeting of the Ra-
cine County Old Settlers society will
be held at the city of Racine, on the
grounds of the Athletic society, and
the S1ausonda1e Park. The grounds
are ample and the groves are beautiful.
The 21st of June is the day fixed on.
No pains or expense will be spared to
make the meeting grand success.
The people are determined to make it
the 1iveliest day Racine ever Witnessed.
In due time, and from time to time
shall inform the people of the inten-
tons of the officers of the society, and
we shall make no promises that we do
not intend to fulfill.
The grounds are so extensive that
two, and possibly three bands will be
required. A marshal of the day, with
assistants, will be required. We are
promised the best of quartette singers
in the county will be on hand. The
immense crowd of people on the
grounds will require several speakers
stands, and three will be erected.
It will be free-for-a11 to those who
want privileges for furnishing dinners,
ice cream, lemonade, etc. The special
train from Burlington will stop in
front of the grand stand and one of
the bands will escort the people to the
grounds.
The public press of the State will be
invited to be the guest of our city on
the occasion. Kenosha County people
will be asked to meet with us and once
more take shake and kiss as we did
before the separation of the two
counties.
We may expect to see people from all
parts of the State, and even from other
States.
Remember, will warrant that ten
thousand, if not fifteen thousand peo-
pie will be on the grounds if we have
good weather.
We are going to say to the people in
the country. The Racine people have
turned out in great numbers for more
than twenty years, and now we, of Ra-
cine, want you should return the conn
p1iment and come and see us. No one
in the county, can, in justice to the
people of Racine, complain of the So
ciety coming to Racine once in twenty
eight years.
Now if any one feels aggrieved, let
them blame me for it all. 1 am old
enough to stand it.
In conclusion allow me to say: That
never has John S. Blakey, the worthy
Vice-President, disagreed with me in
any one thing, as reco11ect, and we
shall never disagree to please any one.
The fact is we have got done raising
such men as Mr.. B1akey in Wisconsin.
When you aid him my thanks are with
you every time.
AS ever your servant,
A. p. BUTTON, Pres't.

SPEAKS WE'LL OF ANDREWS.
Peschtigo Times Speaks in Glowing Terms
of the New Minister at Woodwork.

E6SGAG1SO IuCS DpOosGAo IL XIV" %AS
of the New Minister at Woodwork.
Rev. E. N. Andrews will deliver his
farewell sermon on next Sunday fore
noon. For the past seven years Rev.
Andrews has been pastor of the Pesh-
tigo Congregational church and has
been a jealous worker in the cause of
the church and in fact, in anything
that pertAined to the elevation and
welfare of humanity. At all gather
ings the reverend gentlemen always
took leading part and never spared
himself in furthering the interests of
any undertaking in which he saw fit to
interest himself, and they were many.
We shall miss him, surely. Rev. An
drews will locate in Kenosha county,
not a great distance away. At the
present writing we are unable to give
any particulars as to his future To-
cation, but will probably do SO shortly,
as himself and family leave many warm
friends in Peshtigo who wish them
good luck in every way and who will
be interested in hearing from and of
them Peshtigo Times.

hear that the reincarnation of George

Evening by Furnishing SeveralNumbers.
A large and appreciative audience
gathered at ST. George hall Sunday
night to listen to the splendid concert
given by the Maennerchor and Mixed
Choir of St. Georges church, under
the direction Of Prof. F1asch.
1t is the first time that the chorus
and choir have appeared in concert,
and the entertainment on Sunday
evening was certainly a brilliant
debut in the musical world of Keno
sha. Nearly fifty voices were repre-
scented and the work of the chorus was
perhaps the best en- senble singing
ever heard in Kenosha. s1
The baritone solos by August Weis-
kopf were highly enjoyed by the audi
ence, and he was forced to respond to
a number of hearty encores.
Miss Rosa Ludwig rendered vocal
solo which was exceedingly beautiful,
and which won a deserved encore.
Josephine Jacoby, who has long been
a favorite in Kenosha musical circles,
won new 1aure1s by the way she played
a violin solo, ''O1d Folks at Home
During the evening the musical
numbers by the chorus were inter
spersed with numbers by the Jacoby
& Compton Symphony orchestra,
which added to the pleasure of the
evening. The concert was quite a
financial success.
