the BOer War.

The health of the horses in South At
RIGA is a question which is worrying
British officers almost as much as the
health of the men. On account of the
lack of railroads and the quickness of the
enemy's moves, mounted troops are al
most as essential as guns. With the
change from the dry to the wet seasons
comes the danger to horses. The average
death rate among the horses now from
sickness alone is about % per cent. In
some localities it has been known to
reach so and even 80 per cent. The dis
ease works rapidly. 1t often happens
that trooper is riding along when his
horse begins to stagger, then drops and
dies on the spot Donkeys are immune
to the disease, but mules are not.

of the battle of Glencoe which reached
England and America came to Cape

strike is one hundred miles east of Nome.
The strike was made on a small creek. The
first several pans ran about $25 to 3d. AS

Murder and starvation.

SEATTLE, Wash, April 21.-Nome news
papers of Jan. Is, which reached here to-
day, contain mixed-up story OF q sensa-
tional murder and death from starvation
in the Norton bay country. ID. NJ Kaiser
and William w. Wright, with two partners
named Scott and Haynes, left Seattle May
q, 1888, on the bark Highland Light, went
to St. Michaels. and in August started for
Norton bay. The men quarreled from
time to time. According to the testimony
of natives their boat entered the mouth of
Egalotalill river. The men went up the
river about two days travel. Wright and
Scott are said to have fought, and Scott
killed Wright. Scott is then said TO have
disappeared over a divide, presumably
making for the Yukon river. Wrights
body was sewed up by Kaiser in a sleeping
bag and buried April 16, 1899, Kaiser. who
seems TO have found himself alone, was at
tackled by scurvy and died. Haynes later
showed up at Nome, and is said TO have
told the story that Scott killed Wright and
then fled, and Kaiser died while he
(Haynes) was taking him TO ST. Michaels.
Deputy United States Marshal Crowdy has
returned to Nome from Norton bay, where
he investigated the entire case and sue
ceeded in finding the bodies of Wright and
Kaiser. Il

CHICAGO, April H.-Starvation has be-
come a factor in the building strike. Presi-
dent Carroll. OF the Building Trades Coun-
ell, estimates that 1000 workmen are in
actual want, and that with their families
1850 persons are now in the acute stage OF
suffering as victims of the strike. The la
Dor leaders recognize this situation and are
making plans for relief a large scale
Three of them-President Carroll, Vice
President Frank Buchanan and Treasurer
James B-ennock-will leave tomorrow by
orders of the council for different parts OF
the country TO raise funds from the work
men of other cities.
The plan decided on is for President Car
roll to go East to Detroit, Cleveland.
Columbus, Cincinnati, Pittsburg, Scranton
and other cities to cooperate with James
L. Daley, who has done preliminary work
to the same end for week past. Buchanan
will go to ST. Paul and Minneapolis and
then to the Pacific. Brennock will first cam
vass Iowa and then go West as far as
Denver. The officers hope for success, but
they recognize that Omaha, Kansas City
and st. Louis, with labor troubles of their
own on hand, can do little.

A lady at present staying at Monte Carlo
writes some interesting gossip concerning
the doings Of compatriots there. A certain
royal parsonage and her daughter have
been staying on the Riviera for some
weeks, she writes, and though the royal
parsonage did not care to go out much and
objected to the advances of the local snob-
ocracy. the daughter has been graciously
pleased 10 accept sundry invitations 10
lunches by rich Americans whose names
are constantly heard everywhere, who have
ever since been making themselves ridicu-
to their friends: "She is like a fresh young
child and must have been brought UP i'm the

on. The climax came a few days ago when
a luncheon was given in her honor by some
rather smart people at Nice. There were

Golfers Weekly.

The Boer women are described as not one
whit less patriotic in the present war than
their husbands, and the story of how Mrs
Joubert actually won the battle of Majuba
hill is an illustration of the active patriot
ism they have more than once DISPLAYED.
When the English were stealing upon the
Beers at Majuba hill IL was Mrs. Joubert
who first discovered them and FASTENED to
arouse her sleeping husband. General
Joubert was fast asleep and he refused to
believe that the English had got by the
pickets without the alarm being given. IL
was not until Mrs. Joubert actually pulled
him out of his bed and made him see the
enemy with his own eyes that he would adj
init the truth of her words.
When the jameson raid proved such
disastrous failure, because the Beers DOS
sessed their secret beforehand, it was gem
orally supposed that one Of the Englishmen
in the plot had turned traitor and had
given the secrets away. This, however,
has proven to be untrue. Kruger, having
good reasons for suspecting some kind of
treachery, consulted his WIFE and her ad-
vice was TO enlist as spies the barmaids OF
johannesburg. This was done. and the Sc

A city that is a good place TO live in is a
city OF homes, and a home that is good TO
look at is set in a green lawn Perhaps
the house has only tiny grass plot before
it. but whatever its size, the turf must be
green and thick and even. yard without
grass, a park without shaver lawns and
terraces. boulevard without it's smooth
green borders are each barren and I'M
profitable.
How many wagon loads of sod are hope
fully laid every spring TO wither and die in
the dog days? How many hundreds of
bushels of seed are scattered during au-
tumT rains, on winter SHOWS and before
spring showers? Did you never undertake
fatuously to maintain terrace in state
of vigorous greenness in spite OF dogs and
chickens, and delivery boys, and agents,
and postmen, and solicitors, and tramps,
and bill distributors, and the rest of that
never ending procession of bipeds and
quadrupeds that has natural antipathy
to steps and walks? Now that you have
given up in despair. and, having acquired
a few added gray hairs, have learned to
regard philosophically that slope of rain
washed mud, all hollows and holes and
crab grass would you like to be told how
you might have succeeded?
But who can tell us how it is to be done?
Who can speak with authority? Shall we

MI. r lives over the way, a retired cap
italist. He manifests great interest in his
lawn. The leaves are raked off in the au-
tumn as rapidly as they fall. The dead
grass is raked out from the roots in the
spring with an iron-toothed rake. Seed is
sown lavishly and repeatedly. An odorous
and odious carpet of manure covers the
ground in winter.
Mr. B., who lives on the corner, allows
the leaves to lie where they fall; mows
the lawn a very few times during the sum-
mer: never sows seed; never rakes out the
dead grass; never fertilizes. The neighbors
are a unit in declaring that Mr.. BIS lawn

DECLARATIONS.
Gives an Outline of What VIII BE
Said mt Kansas Cfty-Denuncia-
tion of Everything Republican.

PEABODY, Kan, April 21.-J. G. John
son. Democratic committeeman for Kan
sas, and vice chairman of the Democratic
national executive committee to-day, in
response to a telegram from the New York
Journal propounding five questions relat-
ing to the coming campaign, telegraphed
that paper as follows:
ON what issues will the Democrats go
into the fight for President? Answer: De-
nunciation of the money trust, with its pol
Icy of currency contraction by the retire
ment of greenbacks and the establishment
OF the gold standard; denunciation of the
Republican abandonment of the republic
and the Inauguration of the empire, with
colonialism and militarism and carpetbag-
ism and world alliances rampant; denun-
citation of commercial and industrial trusts
and monopolies, the outgrowth of McI<in-
leys tariffs and the foster children of Nc
Kinleyism, past, present and future; for
tariff revision and Democratic officials to
crush the trusts; demand for income tax,
that he who has may share the govern
mental burdens with he who must have.
and demand that interstate corporation
employees be protected by national legisla-
ton from coercion. blacklisting and kim
dred outrageS.
Question 2-'What change. if any, will
be made in the platform Of 1852 An
swered above
Question 3-'If Dewey runs as an indie
pendent candidate for President, what eff
feet will his candidacy have on the Demo-
cratic party?' Difficult to estimate. Am
certain Mr.. Bryan will be elected, any,
way.
Question 4-'What do you think Bryans
vote will be on the first ballot at Kansas
City?' Think name but Mr.. Bryans
will be presented to the Kansas City con-
vention for President, and that he will be
nominated by reclamation.
Question 5-'Who is your choice for
Vice President? l have no present choice
for Vice President. Any good man who is
an ideal Democrat, namely-one who in
sists that this shall be government of
and by the people. and not dominated by
influences which use the government TO
help them traffic in the necessities of the
common people, will suit me and the allied
forces which expect to elect him."
