Thanks to the Merriman railroad tax
alton law, this is the largest sum ever
apportioned at one time, the rate being
Sl.65 per scholar. Should the next APP
portionment equal the present one, this
county will receive for the year the sum
of S3l 1857 So which is within S6,S97 % of
the current state tax apportioned to Van
Buren,.
Should the legislature, as it no doubt
will, pass law along the line of the At
kinson bill, as it is authorized to do by
the recent constitutional amendment,
the amount of school money is likely to
be largely increased next year.
The school census for this county for
the present year shows a decrease of A
as compared with the census of 80. The
townships of Antwerp, Arlington, Hart
ford, Lawrence, Paw Paw, South Haven
and Waverly each show an increase; all
the other townships show falling off,
except Pine Grove, which is just the
same as in 1892
The amount that will be apportioned
to the schools in this village is s602.25.

SLAUGHTER of Deer.

1,150 deer licenses have been issued in

twice as many deer are being killed
every day as year ago, If the pres

will be unusually large. Deer seem
to be very plentiful. Three licenses

force was concentrated here to-day.

LONDON, April 7.-Roberts reports
five companies of British troops cap

+, BLoEnIFoNTEIN, April 5.--Another
unfortunate occurrence occurred, re-
sulting, l fear, in the capture of a par
ty of infantry consisting of three COM
panies of Royal Irish fusiliers and two
companies of the Ninth regiment
mounted infantry, near Reddersburg,
4 little eastward of Bethany railway
station, within a few miles of this
place. They were surrounded by a
stronger force of the enemy, with four
or five guns. The detachment held
out from noon, April 3, until April 4,
at in the morning, and then appar-
emily surrendered, for the reported
firing ceased at that time. Immediately
after | heard the news during the
afternoon of April 3 | ordered Gatacre
to proceed from SpringfOntein, his
present headquarters, to Reddersburg
with all possible speed and dispatched
the Cameron Highlandcrs hence to
Bethany. He arrived at Reddersburg
at 1890 yesterday morning without
opposition, but could get no news Of
the missing detachment. No doubt
the whole party were made prisoners"

DEWEY Is A CANDIDATE.
Admiral Says lie Would Like to BE
President.

President.
New YORK. April "A special to the
World from Washington says:
Admiral Dewey authorizes the
World to announce to the American
people that, after mature reflection
and in response to the earnest en-
treaties from all parts of the country,
his former decision not under any cir
cumstances to run for the presidency
is rescinded."
The article then gives the interview
with the admiral, in which he states
that if the American people want him
for this high Office he would be only
too glad to serve them. Admiral
Dewey did not state which party's
nomination he would accept. The re-
porter asked: "On what platform will
you stand?" The admiral replied: Il
think l have SAID enough at this time,
and possibly too much"
PHILADELPHIA, Apr. G.-Admiral and
Mrs. Dewey arrived here yesterday
and attended the second concert in aid
of the families of the soldiers and sail
ors who have lost their lives in the
Philippines. In an interview the adj
miral stated that he was democrat.

BOER SIDE OF STORY.
Nearly Four Hundred Men Captured in
the Ambuscade.

BRANDFoRT, April G.--In the ambus-
cadc near Sannas lost the Burghers
lost three men killed and ten wounded.
Altogether the Burghcrs captured $50
prisoners throughout the day. The
Free Staters are now DESTROYS of mar
ching on Bloemfontein, and the Trans
vaal officers are anxious to emulate the
late success of their allies. All the
southern Boer forces have now formed
functions with the main Boer army,
forming a long force of veterans. Gen.
Dcwet sent the British guns, wagons
and prisoners to Winburg. Perhaps of
greater Importance even than the vic
tory was the capture of British secret
papers, including maps and plans of
1897, 1898 and 1899, outlining elaborate
schemes for the invasion of the Orange
Free State and the Transvaal and Civ
ing n plan for reaching johannesburg
from Mafcking along DIR. JamesOn's
route, but amended 50 as to avoid his
mistakes. Another gives plan for a
march from Bloemfontein to KroOn-
stadt via. Brandfort.
