announced that Wepener has been re-
lieyed. The relief OF Colonel Dalgety
was accomplished by General Brabant.
LONDON. April 20. a. nit Is now
apparent that the chances Of Lord
Roberts catching the rctreating Beers
In his net are very slender.
The Beers have everywhere retired
at the first pressure OF the British
advance and the hope that General
Rundle would be able 20 induce them
TO remain at Dewetsdorp until they
had been forced TO fight or surren-
der has been disappointed. No at
tempt was made to pursue the com
mandos retiring from wepener.
Everything now depends upon the
progress OF General French's cayal.
ry brlgades. but they are entering a
very difficult and practically unknown
country. The cavalry have already
had long march over heavy and
sandy roads and nothing Is known re-
garding the condition OF the horses.
In any case II is now a race between
the federals and the forces OF General
French and General Hamilton.
The slowness Of the recent move
men,s OF the British infantry and the
previous experience OF the ability Of
the Beers to move rapidly, with guns
and baggage. over their own country
lead to the belief that Lord Roberts
cnyeloping operations will fail and viii
have 20 be repeated further north. At
the most he will perhaps capture some
I3oer guns and baggage and hurry the
rctreating Burghers.
Considerable results have been at
tained In the relief OF Wepener and
In clearing the southeastern corner OF
the Free State OF Beers. but the Boer
army. whatever It's strength. has still
10 BE- dealt with.
Besides the casualties among the
men, the Bocr hombardment OF Colonel
Dalgetys position wrought great hav-
oc among the cattle and horses. The
garrison could have held out for an
other fortnight, but We're in no condi-
ton TO render much assistance In pur-
suing the Beers.
The inhabitants OF Mafeking are now
on daily ration OF two pounds Of soup
and two quarts OF "skilly."

KANSAS NEWS IN brief. /

ney, ID. C. Tillotson of Topeka, raises
the question that the federal courts
have no jurisdiction over them but
that in accordance with the law of
1887 they are citizens of Kansas, en-
titled to vote and hold office, sit on
juries and exercise all the rights of
citizen. As citizens they must be pun
ished in the state courts for their mis-
deeds. If this contention is upheld
by the federal courts it will change
the whole system of government for
the Pottowatomies. The Sacs and
Foxes who have their reservation in
the north part of Brown county, are
interested in the same deal. There
arc about 500 of the Pottowatomies
and 273 of the Sacs and Foxes.
The denomination of Judge Samuel
a. Riggs by the Democrats and Popu-
lists and of Charlie Smart by the Re-
publicans recalls the memorable con-
test of Riggs VS.. Smart in the senate
in 1897. Riggs and Smart were can
/ didates for judge IN the 4th district
in 1896. On the face of the returns
Smart had small plurality and was
given his certificate of election. Riggs
was the nominee of both the Populists
and Democrats and SO his name
appeared twice on the official ballot.
About thirty of his friends in the Sec
ward in the city of Lawrence wanted
to make assurance doubly sure and
placed cross mark in front of Mr..
Riggs name on each ticket. The ma
jority of the election board were Re-
publicans and they decided that these
votes did not count for Mr.. Riggs
| When this state of affairs beanie
known Mr.. Riggs decided to contes;
Mr.. Smart's rightto occupy the bench
The case was brought before the state
senate. The senate decided that ii
had jurisdiction in the matter and or.
dered the county clerks of Douglas
| Franklin and Anderson counties to
produce the ballots cast in the 1896
election.
Joseph Waters represented Mr.
Riggs and Judge Carver Mr.. Smari
and it was agreed that the attorneys
should count the ballots and report
their findings. The ballots were tax
en- to the old supreme court room ant
all the surplus force clerks in the
senate chamber were impressed tt
help the committee count the ballots
There We're upwards of fifteen thous
land of them and it took more than 6
week to complete the count. Sigh
changes were found in several pre-
lciRcts but the only material change
Twas in the second ward of Lawrence
where the double barrelled voting haC
been done. The senate held that the
double barrelled votes must be count
ed for Mr.. Riggs and he was declared
duly elected
Mr.. Smart protested and his attor
|ney announced that the matter would
be taken into the supreme court. Thi.
was not done however. Mr.. Smar
vacated the bench and Mr.. Riggs tool
his place on the wool sack.-Iiawa

Development

The problem of cheap fuel for producing
steam in all cities and towns in California has
been forever settled by development in differ
ent parts of the State of Crude Petroleum.
Southern California producing almost all of
this most economical fuel. Three barrels of
crude oil produces about the same amount of
steam as one ton of the best coal. Oil costs
about 81 per barrel while coal costs $40 per ton,
pounds OF steam as SO worth of coal.
The most productive, and of course the lost
profitable oil field in Southern California is
known as the Fullerton field. Wells producing
100 to SEQ bbls per day have been secured. Com
panies operating in this field consider 100 to $40
acres ample territory to make large profits from

est amount of oil land in one body. under one
lease, of any company operating in Southern
California. They have twenty year lease on
1880 acres in the Fullerton Field. The land has
been inspected by noted oil experts, who are

WEALTH CALIFORNIA OIL.
A Rare Opportunity for Small Inves-
tors Is Here offered.

Fortunes are being made every day
by oil companies in the oil fields in
Southern California, which are the
gre:utest producers in the world. Some
wells producing as much as 500 bar
rels day, worth 81 a barrel, and
many wells twenty-five years old are
still flowing strong.
Our company has 1880 acres OF oil
land in the richestdistrictin the state.
Some of the best wells are cur near
est neighbors, hence it is with almost
absolute assurance that we commence
drilling our wells and that each and
every one will pour forth an uninter-
rupted flow of wealth for the FORUM
ate owners.
The officers and directors of our
