which were scowed to the fort,
pressed into bricks and laid in walls
at the rear OF the earthworlSs, but

top layer Of peat was Of no use, hav-

Mahan took the top sods on ana piled
them up in four walls for n dwelling

for rafters. and covered the roof with
sods, grass side up. Instead of dying
the grass grew amazingly, not only
on the roof, but from sides and door

SOURCE OF GLYCERIN.
Exceedingly Powerful Ex-

Glycerin is used in making nitro
glycerin and nitroglycerin is the chief
constituent Of dynamite. 1t also en-
ters largely into the composition of
some of the smolxelcss powders
cordite, for instance. The South AZ
rican war. therefore. has brought it
into increased demand in England
just now, although it's expectation has
not been prohibited, as was the case
with carbolic acid few weeks ago.
The fact is, lyddite. in the manufac-
ture of which derivative of earbolic
acid is used. can be handled with less
chance of accident than dynamite, so
that up to the present time the latter
has not found any extensive applica-
ton in war. And even nitroglycerin
gunpowders are going out of favor
because of their unstable character
and other drawbacks. Still, for the
time being. glycerin enjoys an en-
HANGED popularity in the markets of
Europe.

BOERS ASTOUNDED,
Sudden Appearance of British Caused
Panic.

London, Feb. 19.-The Daily News
publishes the following dispatch, dated
Sunday morning, February Is, from
Modder River:
''Our sudden appearance seems to
have astounded the enemy and thrown
them into panic. All their positions
were hurriedly evacuted, and the big
guns at Magersfontein and Kimberly
were left behind.
General Cronie moved his transport,
consisting of many hundred wagons,
along bank of kopjes north of the
Modder toward Koffy fontein. 1t got
past our mounted infantry, but owing
to weariness had to stop. Thereupor
our artillery opened up on it. The
main body of the Boer force kept up q
running fight the whole day, vainly
trying to escape.
Each time their advance guard
sought to move off, our mounted infan-
try galloped round and checked them
We never attempted to stop their mair
movement, contenting ourselves with
trying to check them.
Their position at Koffyfontein is said
to be very strong. They entertain q
wholesome dread of 10, 900 cavalry NOV.

A WISE CHANGE.

The Republican State Committee in
accord with resolutions adopted by the
last State Convention, has provided in
it's call for the next State Convention
that all delegates to the State Conven-
tion must be chosen at delegate conven-
tions, and that none shall be appointed
by Committees. Thus has the State
endorsed that which the REPUBLICAN
and those who stood with the County
Central Committee as against the Ex-
ecutive Committee in our county, has
advocated for several years. -Four
years ago, we were turned down by the
State Convention for asserting this
principle; today it is endorsed as rule
for State action. Truth and right will
eventually triumph. Logan county has
more steadfastly and for a longer time
advocated primary elections, and made
nominations thus, than any other coun
| ty in the State, and the REPUBLICAN
in all that time has stood for the pri
maries and the rights of the people
and is rejoiced to see the principles i
has advocated, prevail for the State a
large.

Beers on the Retreat Closely Follow
ed by the British.

London, Feb. 9-(4:50).-It is now
amply confirmed that General CrOnje es-
capped. Every detail received, how
ever, proves how admirably Lord Rob-
erts' plans were conceived and were sue
ceeding. But for the unexpected de-
lay at Deckiels Drift, which was al
most impossible for wagons, the whole
Boer force would have been surround
ed. The delay of one day there gave
their chance for a hasty retreat.
All the other movements of Lord
Roberts were executed exactly to time.
Apparently General Cronje is retreat
ing with the main army, and even if he
escapes altogether he will probably
lose all his baggage.
There is still something doubtful
| about the capture of the British con
voy. According to a Daily Mail cor
respondent with the convOy-whicl

loaded with 5000 pounds of rations ant
of forage, and each drawn by sixteel

Gordon Highlanders, forty men of tn
army service corps and few of Kitch

tanning insignificant casualties.
