1t being holiday to-day and having
some time to spare thought that per-
haps you would like to hear something
about what we are doing out here. We

son that it is holiday. The officers of

clubbed together and got them up. We
are also having campfire tonight In
fact it will be about the same here Il 9-day
as it would be in the states on the Ah of
July. l don't like this country verywell.
l think that if all the country is as bad as
the place we are at now wouldn't give
a farm in North Dakota for a whole
county out here. The country is suffer-
ing from drouth just now; everything is
as dry as finder and no grass at all ex-
cept around the farm houses where there
is dam. The farm houses here are
nearly always built of brick, sun-dried
(quite different from the brick in North
Dakota) and always have dam either in
front or behind the house. 1 don't see
how anything lives on the grass or what
ever they live on, but the cattle are al
ways fat, the sheep the same; in fact
everything seems healthy and what they
get to live on l can't make out. There
are lots of ostriches here; they are as
tame as chickens and will eat everything
they see. They think nothing of taking
the sight-protector of rifle and then eat
ing box of safety matches to keep it
company.
We have lot of black boys with us

The sums arising from the school land
fund thus apparently pay about one
third OF the total cost of schools in the
state, and in the near future will likely
pay even larger proportion. The man
who first suggested the reservation OF
sections l6 and 36 in each township for
permanent school funds, ought to have a
monument alongside that of the man
who first thought of the homestead bill,
for the two ideas are incidental to and
compliments Of each other.

LONDON, Feb. 27--4:20 a. m.-The
Beers are assembling an army near
Bloemfontcin with which to dispute the
invasion of Lord Roberts. This intelli-
genco comes from Pretoria by way Of
Lourenzo Marques The commandos
are described as "hastening from all
quarters of the two republics"
No estimate is made of their num-
bers, but the withdrawal of the Beers
from most Of the places where they have
been in contact with the British, except
the district near Ladysmith, may raise
the resisting force to $4,000 inen. This
| figure assumes that the Beers have be-
| tween 10000 and 10000 men in the
field.
The gathering of this army across the
path Of Lord Roberts gives significance

1t is difficult to conceive that the Bocrs

and to release General Cronjo from his
precarious situation.
