LONDON. May 25.-The mines in
the Trsnsvssl are to be blown up and
the Beers will make q final stand at
Lyderbury according to statements of
q nephew of President Kruger who be-
fore has been conspicuous in several
newspapers. 1t was suggested that the
English with the large force at their
disposal would take Lyder bury.
"That." he replied, sis impossible.
Lyderbury is so surrounded BY noun
tains that it would be impossible to
take it. All provisions from Pre-
toria are being taken there and there
are enough to last three

MRS. WRENN SHOT
Believed To Be Fatally Wounded
And At the Point OF Death

And At the Point Of Death
About 2 o'clock this afternoon pis-
tol shot rang out at the house of @. II.
Marks, 300 North Ell Paso street.
Mrs. Marks rushed to the room
whence the shot came and there lay
the form OF young woman shot
through the left breast. She lies at
the point of death and IS the
HERALD goes to press it is considered
very doubtful if she can recover.
Mrs. r. E. Wrenn Is the mama OF
the unfortunate woman and che is
about twenty-five years of age. She
came with her husband to Ell Paso
from The Dalles, Oregon, some six
months ago and had been stopping at
the house of Mr.. and Mrs. Marks. Her
husband, r. E. Wrenn, is
business with George E. Gather.
he was summoned from his
Office in haste to find his wife at deaths
door. No cause can ba sssipn-
ed for such an act. Those who saw
Mrs. Wrenn recently cay that she gave
no indications of either unsound mind
or of having any trouble
serious enough to cause her to attempt
her own life. She was talking with
Mrs. Marks a short time before and
gave no iutimstion of any intention of
selfdes truction.
Drs. Villas, Stevenson. and Cantwell
were summoned but have little
hope of her recovery. Tue
wound vas inflicted with
q small 30 calib-e pistol and is in the
left breast just above the heart. DR..
Villas said at 8 O'Clock that while as
long as there was life there was al
ways bare possibility of recovery,
there was no real hope of it.
Ats o'clock Mrs. Wreun was re.
ported to be resting easily. She is un-
conscious aud has offered no explapa-
tion whatever. She is said to have
suffered from sickn in the past that
may account for her actions today.

York market, compared with s0.,6 In
January, ,SOS. The gain noted In the
beginning OF the year has been more than
maintained, July closing with an average
ot 6I.2S cents per ounce, and August
showing a fraction to the good. A recent
London quotation reduced to American
money reads 62.6i, which is the best for
some time. Large purchases tor use in
China explain the advance IN silver which
is helprd by the stationary condition Of
the silver output. The latter shows no

DEAD LETTER LAWS.
Some of the Most Conspicuous
Ones of the Present Ad-
ministratioE.
THERE Is no MORAL REGULATION.
Curfew Unheeded and Bicyclists
Not Required to Have
Lights.

The present administration of mu-
nicipal affairs. despite promises and
protestations, has not improved since
the county court disclosures of the
laxity Characteristic of the moral reg
ulation of the city. The time when
the laws of good government should
most rigidly apply, when darkness
shields he transgressor and immor-
ality becomes the more brazen and
hideous. seems to have been chosen
for the most fagrant disregard of the
duties incumbent upon those respon
siblt for the city's safe keeping and
proper regulation. AS far as the laws
that pertain TO public safety at night
in Rock Island are concerned. they
are dead. The curfew bell rings reg
nlarly at the prescribed hour
through the vigilance of the ever
wakeful fremen, but through mani
festly Indifferent police control
under whose department it is sup
posed to oPerato-its warning tones
are just as regularly disIegarded.
The police appear TO be too busy il
the day time misaDPlyins the opera
tion of miscarried tandem law that
has wise aims, if enforced with proper
discretion. to see that the ordinances
that pertain to those things that are
most vital TO the peoples welfare are
enforced at night.
No Heed of Public Safety.
And there are other ordinances that
affect welfare after dark that are as
conspicuously ignored. The bicycle
lamp requirement is one. No heed
has been paid to this Precaution since
the present administration assumed
control of the city. To be sure, many
bicyclists use lamps, but those who do
have a grea Ter regard for the law and
it's aims than do those whose duty il
is to see that such laws are enforced.
Numerous accidents have occurred
through negligence on the part of
wheelmen who not only fail to carry
lights, but who tear through the
streets at night. taking chances on
running people down and doing other
damage.
The exercise of Judgment is essen
tial in the government of ali cities the
size of Rock Island. 1t is not essen
tial to kill the town with blue laws to
properly uphold it's moral stand
ard, but when the requirements
of public decency, public safety
and those regulations aimed to protect
the generations that are coming on
are set at defiance. the public is JUS
titled in crying out in protest.

1t will be comforting to Rock ISL

that at least one evenings relief is

a repu ublican address the evening of

but then it should have been said that
your Uncle Shelby comes mere to de-
liver the first boIub in the local field

early announcement to this affair in
order that all contemplating invasion

At yesterday afternoons meeting
at Turner hall of the democratic

nounced that one name had been in
advertently omitted in announcing
the committees, and by consent j.
w. Cavanaugh was added to the eX-
ecutive committee.
Communications of particular in-
terest were received from state and
national headquarters and full author
itv given to the finance and executive
committees to act.
Each committee was authorized to
select it's own vice chairman and any
other officers desired. The executive

mittee elec ed &. c. Coyne vice chair
man and + j. Burns secretary.

mittee is called for next Thursday
evening at the rooms of the Bryan

club will have every assistance possi-
ble for the county organization to
render.
Another Attempt.
Another desperate effort will be
made tonight TO boost that Seventh
ward republican campaign flag. The
event had been scheduled before. but
on the eve of the announced date the
management would be seized with
fear of q fizzle and there would be q
postponement. One of the drawbacks
was the failure to land other than
local lights to do the Grating. Mayor
Heinz, of Davenport, has finally been
induced to come over into Illinois.
He will do the bonn basting tonight.
Mayor NcConochie will give one of
his confidential talks, aud City Attor-
