ENGLAND Is Getting Tired.

The way the South African war drags
out wears upon Englishmen, and no
news would be SO welcome as that some
well-Wisher of the Transvaal had con
WINGED President Kruger that nothing
In Europe or China will make Great
Britain relax her overwhelming grip
on South Africa. Everybody in the
army, or who has anything to do with
II in South Africa, wants to come home
and is heartily sick of the whole thing.
But. knowing that it must go on to a
finish, the dregs of war are having
some bitterness.
The plot to kill British officers at
Pretoria is taken in England as show
ing the savage temper of the Beers,
While the Britishers are reported to be
doing some things which are provok-
ing adverse comment in Great Britain
Thus the Standard prints a Pretoria
dispatch, dated August 9, laying:
"The Beers sniped train at Bronx
hurst yesterday on the line between
Pretoria and Middleburg. Two of its
occupants were wounded. In accord
ance with Lord Roberts warning. all
the farms were fired within a radius of
ten miles,
Even the English papers say there
must be mistake somewhere. A cou-
pie OF Beers fire at military train, per-
fectly within their rights, as warriors,
and every farm house within ten miles
in every direction is committed to the
flames.

Two Men Are Placed in
 Nomination For Foreman.
BOYS WILL FORM CLUB
Full Meeting of Fire Department Will be Held Saturday to Dis- cuss Social Fsatures--WiIl Ask For Donation From City For Res- ponse to Alarm.

Charles Walker and Charles Meyden- bauer were placed in nomination last night for foreman by Hose Company No. I. The election will occur next Saturday night. The members of the company also dis cussed the proposition of developing a social side to the department, and there will be meeting of the entire department Saturday evening to take action upon this phase of the work of the firemen.
 It was proposed that the fire department secure the use of the vacant building ad- joining the hose house of Co. No for the purpose of meeting place and club house, where bi-weekIy social sessions may be held. To further the interest of the members in both the work and proposed social features of the department, it was decided to ask the city to give each of the three fire companies five dollars for each response to fire alarm, the money to be applied toward furnishing the meeting place and for the expenses of the social ses- sons.
 The meeting called for Saturday night Is for all three fire companies, and full at tendance Is expected.

Plaintiff Has Only One More
 Witness to Examine.
ARGUMENTS TOMORROW
One More Case to Try After the One Now Before the Court Then VIII Come Motions For New Trial and the Appeal.

The plaintiff in the Jack Wade creek mining case now on trial consumed both the morning and the afternoon sessions ot the district court yesterday introducing testimony. The evidence was in most respects similar to that introduced in the two cases that were tried last July. The principal difference was as to the discov- cry of gold on the disputed claims prior to their location. The mining recorder who recorded the locations of the plaintiffs was present, and he testified that he had dis covered gold on Jlck Wade creek in 1893, but had not located.
 The plaintiffs will put on their last wit ness this morning when the defendants will introduce their testimony. It is thought all the testimony in the case on trial, Jameison against Backstrom and others, vii! be gotten to the jury today. In that event the the arguments will be made tomorrow and the case given to the jury. w. s. Gillette, formerly of Wyoming, but now United States commissioner for Douglas Island, is court stenographer. In addition to the regular court sten ographer the defendants are having the case reported in shorthand by F. D. Kelsey of Juneau.
 There will be another of the Jack Wade creek mining cases to be tried at this term of court and then arguments will be made upon the motions for new trials. These have already been filed in the two cases heretofore tried, and no doubt will be in the cases now on trial. The cases will probably be appealed to the higher court no matter what the result of the trials.
