Beers swarm About Lord Roberts Army
Near Bloomfontein.
London. April 9.-The amazing ac-
tivity of the Beers south, east and
southwest of Bloemfontein continues
the Boer commands seemingly coming
and going throughout the wide region
as they please, but taking good care
not to throw themselves against a
strong body OF the British. The re-
tirement OF the Irish rifles from Roux-
Vile to Anvil leaves General Brabant
without communication with other
British forces. He has 1000 or 5000
colonials soldering in a fine defensive
county. but Is apparently invested 50
far as London knows. Telegraph and
railroad communication with Bloem-
fontein Is kept up as usual. but moth
ing comes through for public consump-
tion. From the last official news Rob-
erts has $1,000 mounted men altogeth-
er. In the Orange Free State the sit
uation is complex with scanty mate
rial for forming a correct estimate of
the situation. Afternoon newspapers
criticise the condition OF affairs.

Webster Davis Talks for the Beers and
Against the English.

Washington, April 9.-Webster Da-
Wis, late ass slant seer tary Of state,
made a profound and impressive report
last night on behalf of the Boer repub-
lies. The Grand opera house was
packed and thousands turned away.
Davis denied that the Beers had vio-
lated the red cross or white flag, but
declared that the British had done so.
He cited many violations Of the rules
of civilized warfare by the British,
and said the reason OF the war was
British greed. Somebody interrupted
Davis when speaking OF the British
control of the mail and cables saying
Yes, and they own the adm nistra-
ton Davis replied Let the admin
istration alone. 1t is a patriotic Cnn
and will do its duty" The resolutions
adopted denounce the British govern
ment and its secret allies in this coun-
try.

A Freak OF n

There is to be seen in the show win
dow of Wells, Watts & Pilgrim, 212
High avenue west, a portion of a
growth of fibrous roots that COM
pletely filled a we'll on the Sam Jones
farm northwest of the city, 1t had
been impossible to pump water from
the we'll for some time and an inves-
tigation was made, as the well was
one that had never failed and the
pump was one of the best made. The
we'll was opened to be cleaned and it
was seen that the water was COM
pletely filled with a growth of roots.
Sixty feet distant from the we'll there
are a number of cottonwood trees.
One of these trees had sent a root to
the we'll and a number of its branches
had worked through the brick lining
and then had commenced sending f.
bers until the nine feet of water in the
we'll had been completely filed with
the growth. A small portion of the
growth was taken to the shop on
High venue where it may be seen.
The part on exhibition represents
about one-tenth of the total amount
taken from the we'll. 1t is about ten
feet in length and is made Up of mill
lions of small rootlets depending from
leading roots. 1t is well worth a visit
by any one interested in botany.

CHARLIE TAES HURT.
Particulars of the Accident to
Former 0skaloosa Boy.

Mrs. G. w. Taes is in receipt OF
the following letter giving full par
ticulars of the accident which befell
her son, Charlie Taes, a former Os-
kaloosa boy:
"Pocatello, Ida, Aug. 81.
DEAR MADAM:-Charlie Taes was
in a real end collision 81 miles east
of here yesterday morning at 2:30
O'Clock. He is pretty badly scalded
about the feet, arms and face and
his left leg was broken above the
knee. The doctor never reached
him until $3.50 a. M. They brought
him back here and Dr.. Stoaiy sa5
myself accompanied him to Salt
Lake to st. Marks Hospital. We
reached there about $3.50 p. m. OF
course he suffered a great deal, but
is the nerviest boy l ever met. 1
left him at nine O'Clock this MORN
ing and he was feeling as well as
could be expected. He thinks he
will be all right in three weeks, but /
think it will be six or eight weeks
before he will be able to get out.
Charlie was promoted to engineer
last Saturday and he made a trip
west and came back here and they
started him east without any rest, SO
you see he must have been worn out
at the time of the wreck. 1t is very
lucky for him that he got out of 1t as
lucky as he did. He asked me to
write to you. You need not be I'M
easy for he will get along all right.
OF course he will suffer, but that
can't be helped. A letter addressed
to st. Marks Hospital, Salt Lake,
Utah, will reach him.
Yours respectfully,
]. K. LAPRADE,
Pocatello, Idaho.

Mrs. Eddy Speaks,

To the Editor Various rumors
have been circulated by the news
papers of the country in reference to
Christian Scientists prayers for the
safety of the American minister and
his family in China. The Boston
Herald, of Aug. Is, says: SIN re-
spouse to thousands of letters enquir-
ing as to the truth Of these rumors,
Nrs. Eddy, the founder of the faith,
has given out the following signed
statement:
Concord, N. H., Aug. Is, 19OO.-
My reply to correspondents is: The
prosperity of men and nations has its
source and in God. Pray
for our imperiled countrymen in
China, and for the peace, prosperity
and brotherhood of all mankind.
Prayer includes no will power.
Human will is lost in the Divine,
when prayer is effectual."

Badly Hurt

Fred ~Swearengen has been very
badly hurt by his racing horse, Trap
exc. He was out at the fair grounds
and was exercising the animal pre-
paratory to working him out. Fred
was leading the horse which was feel
ing frisky and was jumping about
quite a little. He jumped up when
Fred was quite close to him and
struck Fred on the calf of the leg
with his sharp shoe. The muscles
and tendons were torn away from the
bone in a terrible way and the injury
is indeed serious. The young man
was taken to the home of his father
at the corner of Second avenue and
d street where he is now being cared
for by DR.. B. o. Terrell.

The sixth annual meeting of the
Mahaska County Holiness Associa-
ton has come and gone. Holiness
has been preached to the people
without respect of person or demon
nation. The results of these meet
ings will never be known this side of
eternity. Many have been saved and
sanctifed, and wave after wave of
glory swept over the audience. DR..
Bunce and Rev. g. L. Miller, who
had charge of the meeting, said that
this camp wentfar ahead of any they
have witnessed for years. The spirit
ual tide al deeper than ever before.
The attendance was larger and har-
mony and unity among all seemed
perfect. To God be all the glory.

MINERS HAPPY.
Better Wages and More Work Than
EverB Before Enjoyed I'm Iowa.

Iowa State Register: John Owens,
of Beacon, a miner and member of
the state board of of mine inspector,
hosting engineer, pit boss and mine
foreman examiners, has been in the
city this week helping to conduct the
examination of engineers and fore
men at the state capitol. "The min
ing business was never in better
shape in Iowa" he said. 1.-THE miners
were never better satisfied. They
have all the work they ear do and
they number so per cent ore. There
are 1000 in the Sixth district today,
whereas there were 5000 a year and
a half ago. At Beacon we have not
had a~lay off for months. The min
ers are inclined to object because
they do not get their full share of the
profits accruing by increased prices
of coal made to consumers, for you
remember that whereas coal was ad-
vanced so cents per ton, the miners
get but 10 cents advance in wages,
yet we are we'll satisfied with present
conditions,

They IN Work.

Centerville Citizen: Thinking that
their lives were in danger, eight men
employed on demonstration of the
new telephone system laid down
their tools yesterday and refused to
assist in the placing of a 50-foot pole.
After a reasonable time spent in ar
gument by the foreman of the gang,
H. H. Rider, and contractor, Otto
Wettstein, the eight men were dis
charged from work, being paid off
last evening. The men left on the
Central morning train for Oskaloosa,
where they will work for the Iowa

Fred Harbour, SOL of Frank Har-
bour was quite severely injured this
morning at Beacon. He was at the
old mill that is being torn down at
that place and was struck on the
head by a falling timber, a four
by six. The timber struck him on
the head and made an ugly wound.
1t was sewed up and the young man
was soon as good as new again. The
blow made the young man feel about
as Sharky felt last evening, for a few

reported themselves having a very
pleasant trip.
Chas. Reisman and family were
found doing the sights of Denver but

Dudley Delashmutt was seen at
Colorado Springs. He is a nephew of
w. A. Delashmutt of this city. Dud-
ley will be remembered by the peo-
pie of the county as the operator of
the old Gateley ferry on the Des
Moines river. Chas. Delashmutt, a
brother, was also found in the vicin-
ity. He has a large ranch and about
everything that is to be had in that
part of the world.
In general Mr.. Boyer states that he
never had a more pleasant trip in
his life. The people of the west are
very cordial and are pleased to meet
strangers and make them at home in
their land. Their country is a pleas
ant place to visit and when the ir-
rigation idea is a little more perfect
ed the entire state will be made into
n huge garden for there is nothing
that will not grow where there is
plenty of irrigation.
But after all there is one thing that
Mr.. Boyer does not like about the
west and that is their newspapers.
They are too much on the wind and
hot air order. Many of them will
have a lot of big head lines over a
few lines of a dispatch that amounts
to nothing. Their news matters
seems to be in a crude state and
lacks the editorial finish and polish
that is seen in the journals of the
east. The best papers that he came
across were the Rocky Mountain
News and the Denver Post.
The home trip was commenced on
the 22nd. The gentleman states that
if any one desired to throw care and
worry to the wind they should by all
means go to Denver and the state
of Colorado for there will be found
n of the best places in the world
spend a vacation.
