Boer who from rock cover seemed TO
own the whole veldt by the power Of
his Mauser. He had been stalked to
cover like deer, but the Canadians,
three Of them. could not dlslodge him.
Finally they started back, apparently
tired of the game. The Boer sent a
bullet after them, and a Canadian
dropped, the rest hurrying away. leav-
Ing their comrade PROSTATE. A second
and a third and last dropped under
Boer shots, and then the satisfied
marksman rushed forward to pluck
his victims. But the Canadians were
up to the game of "possum," and when
the Boer reached the nearest one he
looked into rife barrel held by live
Canadian and, turning, found himself
face to face with two more. Then up
went his hands.
When Roberts made up his column to
turn Cronje's flank on Moddcr river,
the Canadians were assigned to the

If the News and Observers statement
of the ticket is not correct, will Mr.. Hol-

us with one of those Fusion tickets
This paper will be glad to print it-pro-
vided there accompanies said ticket a
guarantee that it will not be changed
more than once before it can appear in

But whatever the ticket shall finally
be-Thompson or Adams-the fact re-
mains that it is being juggled with. traded
on and snapped off. And Butler anu
Holton and their dark allies" do not
intend that the voter shall know till
the day of election whom he must vote
for.
They are afraid to trust the people
and who can blame the people for not
trusting them?
The very fact that the Republicans
are trotting around SO industriously
protesting that Adams has not been ia
ken down, and yet trying to keep that
ticket secret, shows that the News and
Observer made no mistake when 1t PRINT

After using two bottles of Electric Bit

able to do her own work" This supreme
