Next Move in Doubt.
London, March 6.-There are now
practically three British armies in the
field, one in the Free State, one in Cape
Colony and one in Natal. All that i:
known about the first and most important
is that it is in close touch with body
of Beers, estimated to the number Of
about 5000 men. Speculation as to the
direction and method of Roberts advance
into the Free State is quite worthless, SC
carefully are the plans concealed.
In Cape Colony.
In Cape Colony General Brabant and
General Clements command two horns o.
the army, while Gatacre holds the mair
Boer force in check. Gatacre and Glenn
ents will probably combine and advance
on Bloemfontein with Brabant, guarding
the right flank with the mobile colonials
This movement will be subsequent to Sc

lines of the Free State railroads, which
according to the latest dispatches, seems
almost accomplished.

W. C. T. U. NOTES..

The greatest work of union has
yet to be done. much has been
done, so much in fact that we are
amazed at the extent and would
judge that il the work is continued
for the next 25 years as it has been
during the past, there will be no
further need of the w. G. T. U.
But perhaps never before in the
history of the organization has
there rested such great RESPONSE.
bilities upon its officers and super
intendents as at the present time.
The local unions are the strength
and stay of the national union;
the local union occupy the place
between schools and churches,
carrying on the educational work
that cannot be done 10 the schools,
and looking after the moral needs
that do not come quite in the range
of the churches. Neither schools
nor churches could be expected to
consider what would be the best
food or clothing for children or
conduct mothers meets, or consid-
er plans for the improvements Of
jails, or laws regulating the sale of
cigarettes and liquors, or the fur
nishing good reading to lumber
men, miners, soldier and sailors.
The local unions may with their
parlor meetings and medal con-
tests provide something more help
iul than whist and more elevating
than shows.
The members of local unions are
nearly always active in church
work and the pastors should find
a strong ally in the w. c. T. U.
and he does, though he does not
always say so.
The influence Of the consecrated !
white ribboner goes out in many
ways not recorded. Their object
is not self exaltstion but the cre-
ating of temperance sentiment, the

uplift of humanity. Many more !

MORE TROUBLE FOR cLAREMoRE
All Mails Passing Through the POST
office rlust be Fumigated.

Postmaster Bessey received or
ders Thursday from the postal su-
thorities at Washington in
structing him to begin at
once the fumigation of all
mail matter passing through this
Office. The order was issued by
the department at the request of
Cherokee medical board, or to be
more explicit, at the instance of
Drs. Fortner and Fite.
The apparatus for iumigating pur-
poses arrived yesterday morning.
1t is a very crude and simple de-
vice, being nothing more than a
box four feet in length and about
fifteen inches square. One side
has a door with leather hinges
and there are four shelves, or par
titions made OF ecreen wire. The
mail matter after having three or
four small holes punched through
zach parcel, is placed on these
screens, a pot Of burning sulphur
is then placed below, the door is
closed and the smallpox bugs per-
ish in the fumes. Il requires eight
hours 10 fumigate by this process,
and that meas that all mail from
claremore, or nearly all Of it, will
be delayed from twelve or twenty
four hours at this Office before
starting On iss journey. This is
going to prove a serious inconven-
fence to cisizsns.-Progress.
