British Enter the Town in Triumph
London Goes Wild with Joy Over
What Is Considered the End of
the War.

The announcement made the other day
in regard to the occupation of the Trans
vaal capital by the British forces was
premature, but it was based on the APP
parent decision of the Beers to surrender
it without a struggle. Perhaps Lord
Roberts had secret understanding with
the Boer commander, but it has been
certain for some days that no further
resistance would be offered by the Fed

mite news of the entrance of Lord Rob

be no doubt as to the significance of this
practical surrender of Pretoria. 1t was
deemed impregnable by the Beers, and

Runaway Accident at Grand Rapids.

Five persons were badly injured in a
runaway accident at Grand Rapids. A
livery team driven by William Johnson
became frightened while driving through
the city and broke and ran away. In
the carriage were Mr.. and Mrs. Johnson
and their three children. The horses
rushed madly along and dashed into a
sidewalk. overturning the carriage and
dragging the occupants about twenty five
feet. The horses ran into the sidewalk
again and broke loose and rushed away
down the street. Mr.. Johnson's head
struck the walk and deep cash was cut
over his ear. One ear was nearly torn
off and he received many external and in
ternal injuries. One of his little daugh-
tiers was severely injured on her arms
and head and is in very serious condi-
ton. The others sustained painful in
juries.

Compelled TO Help Parents.

John and Leo Koelbel. well-to-do farm
ers residing in the town of Newton. had
hearing at Manitowoc in the County
Court before Judge Anderson, having
been cited to appear there on charge of
contempt for failing to comply with an
order of the court commanding them to
pay 60 cents n week each for the sup
port of their aged parents. The town
board last December presented petition
to the County Court ash ing il to issue an
order compelling the two Koelbels to sup
port their parents both of whom were
aged and infirm, and the sons being able
to do so. The court issued the order to
take effect Jan. I. 1900, but the two sons
have positively refused to give a single
cent toward the support of their father
and mother. The court ordered them both
to be committed to the county jail until
they saw fit to comply with the order to
pay the specific amount for the support
of their parents.
