weged against the indscrimnate giving of schoiar-
ships by the local schools and the framing OF an
amendment to debar students who hold scholar
ships from taking part in interscholastc contests
AS nearly half of Trnitys students enjoy scholar
ships, such measure would so cripple the athletic
ability of the school that its prowess in sports would
be gone. Rather than submit to this. Dr. Umann
offered Trinity's resignation yesterday. 1t was ac-
cepted without single protesting voice. AS the
withdrawal was TO take effect Immediately, Savage

Obituary.

On Monday morning, February 9Th
1900, occurred the death of James
Brophy, one of the earliest pioneers of
Howard county, at his home in Paris
township. He was born in county
Kilkrny, Ireland, August 1st 1916,
was married in the same place to Miss
Ellen Bonn, February 1S47.
In the following year they came to
America and settled in Ridgeield,
Conn.,, where they remained eleven
years. Being DESTROYS to own a home
of his own, in April 1859 he came to
what was then the far west, settled
in Howard county, where he bought a
farm in Paris township, which he
changed from wild prairie into a
beautiful country place on which he
died.
Two daughters are left ro mourn his
death, Mrs. Julia Guyette, of Lourdes,
and Mrs Margaret McCaryile, of New
Oregon township, who were both pres
ent at his death-bed and funeral.
He was practical Catholic, one.who
made no sensation in politics, business
or scandal, but moved quietly along
the path of life, trying to serve God
and man in the wayour divine Saviour
left for us to follow.
Truly may it be said of him as by the
poet: San honest man is the MODEST
work of God"
At st. Mary's cemetery, Lourdes, he
is laid to rest beside his wife who died
fifteen years ago. The funeral seryi-
ces were held at Lourdes, Wednesday
morning, Feb. It'll, Rev. Father Mel
son officiating. ***

FIGHTING IS SEVERE.
Hot Work Between British and
Beers Near Colesburg.
FORMER WlTHDRAWs TO RENSBURG.
No Estimate of the Losses on Either
Side-AH Eyes ON Lord Rob-
erts' Movement to Relieve
Kimberley.

London, Feb. IA dispatch to the
Daily Mail from Rensburg, dated Tues
day, says:
There has been hard fighting for two
days near Colesburg, the Beers making
strenuous efforts to outflank the British
left. The enemy occupies strong positions
from Achtertang, through Potfontein, to
point five miles south of Jasfontein. The
fighting at the outpost camps has been
very severe during the last few days.
Monday the Beers attacked the position of
the Worcesters. to the southeast of Coles
burg. Fighting continued all day, and
after dark it was considered necessary to
withdraw to Rensburg. Our losses are not
yet known. On the left the West Australi-
ans, Wiltshires and Berkshires had hot
fighting, but held their positions against
long odds. The Beers losses were consid-
cradle. Owing to the growing difficulty
experienced by conveys in reaching the
camps, all of the latter were vacated Mon
day night, and the troops withdrew to
Rensburg. The Beers are burning the
farms of the loyalists, but the latter have
contrived to get away with their stock"

UNTIL COURTS DECIDE.
No Change Expected in situation In
Kentucky Until Decisions,
Are Rendered.

Frankfort, Ky, Feb. 14.-Another
day of extreme quiet passed here, there
being no Developments in the political
situation from either side. The eyes
of the leaders on both sides are on Gin
cinnati, where Judge Taft, of the fed
eral court, will render a decision to-
day on the question whether the federal
courts have jurisdiction in the contest
cases and little else is talked of here.
Louisville, KY, Feb. 14.-The first
sign of a break in the democratic lines
was noticeable Tuesday. 1t came in
the shape of resolution offered by Sen
ator Triplett providing that upon adj
journment Thursday the legislature
name Frankfort as its next meeting
place. While no action upon the resolu-
ton Was taken Tuesday, it is believed
to foreshadow return of the demo-
cratic legislators to the state capital
soon, possibly by the end of the week.
Thisaction will probably be taken when
report is received from the commit
tee sent to Frankfort upon conditions
as to the presence about the capitol of
militia or armed men and as to the adj
visibility of resuming sessions at the
usual meeting place. This is rendered
more likely, as the detection occurred
in the senate, where the democrats have
bare working quorum.
With the resumption of legislative
business at Frankfort in prospect, and
the transfer to the courts of the claims
of the rival governors, as seems likely
to be brought about within few days,
the clouds are rapidly lifting and it is
believed normal political conditions
may be restored in the state in two or

especially since Gen. Buffers report

Beers in Europe, in regard to the prob

in the event of his capture. DR.. Leyds
assured the Intermediates that the
Beers did not intend to kill Mr.
Rhodes, but, he added, they would GER
tainly hold him as hostage until the
indemnity for the Jameson raid was
paid. In view of the developments
since the raid, the Beers have also de
cided to double the amount of the in
demnity demanded, so Mr.. Rhodes
friends will have to hand over $4,000,
