MIR. Major. the famous cement man, of New
York, explains some very Interesting facts
about Majors Cement.
The muiitilicS who use this standard article
know that IL is maGy hundred per cent. better
than other cemcnts for which simiiar claims
are made, but II great many do not know why.
The simple reason is that Mir. Major uses the
best materials ever discovered and other manu-
facturars do not use them, because they are
too expensive and DO not allow large profits.
MIR. Ma jor tolls us that one of the clements of
his cement costs 1918 1t pound, aud another
costs S2.65 gallon. Will" a large share OF the
so.called cemGuls and liquid glue upon the
market are nothing more than siSteen-ccnt
glue, dissolved in water or citrlc acid, and in
some cases. altered slightly in color and odor
by the addition of cheap ard useless materials.
Majors cement rctaiS at fifteen cents and
twenty-five cents Il bottle, and when dealer
tries to sell a substitute yri! can depend upon
It that his only object Is to- Tn3Sc larger profit.
The profit on Nninr's ccnICnt is ITS much as
any dealer ought Ia make On any cement. And
this is doubiy true i'll v"w OF The fact that each
dealer gets his share of the benefit Of Mr.
Majors alVs.rtiS!I.J. which now amounts tn
over 81, 900 u month, throughout the country

Whites outposts at Ladysmith.
The Boer forces II few days ago had
forces with guns at Springfield, where
General Butler dates his dispatch.
These commands have been obviously
dislodged, either by fighting or by ma.
neuvering, the Beers retiring across the
Tugela as General l,uller advances.
From General Buffers dispatch,
coupled with the fact that unofficial
Intelligence from the seat OF war has
virtually ceased since Monday, the de-
duction is drawn that important opera
tions are in progress, as he cannot
move far without going against the
Boer entertainments.
The death list from enteric fever and
dysentery at Ladysmith, averaging
from to 10 daily, is considered more
serious than the APO casualties OF Satur-

Hampton, Ia, Jan. 11.-Dr. G. w.
Appleby, for several years the leading
physician at Bristow, Butler county,
last evening, in fit Of insanity, killed
a O-months-old child of Henry Wear
ly, OF this place, while making an ex-
animation OF it in another physician g
office.
The doctor took the child in his arms
and handled it so roughly that the par
ents protested, but to no avail. lie
suddenly put his thumbs under its
chin, and with his fingers on top of its
head, crushed its face in SO that the
blood gushed out OF its nose and mouth.
Then he seized the child by one foot
and began swinging it around his head,
resisting all efforts of the terrified par
ents to stop him, and it was not until
help was gotten that the child was
taken from MIN. 1t was quite dead.
The insane commission was con-
vcned, and at midnight DR.. Appleby
was ON his way to tie hospital for the
insane at Independence. Three OF four
hours after the occurrence he seemed
comparatively rational, and said he
knew what he was doing when he
killed the child, but could not help it.
The cause of the insanity is supposed
to be religious excitement.

JlMENES HAS THE MONEY.
Got 1t Easier Than He Can Get the
Apology.

New York, Jan. ! A dispatch to
the Herald from Santo Domingo says:
President Jimines, who has been at
Macoris since Saturday experimenting
the raising OF the popular subscription
to pay the French claim, returned this
afternoon with 800, 900 francs. The
claims amount to $500 francs. As
the popular subscription is larger than
the claim, the Dominicans are rejoic-
ing.
The return of the president under
such suspicious circumstances was
marked by patriotic enthusiasm and Il
general flag display. The French
cruiser Cecile saluted the gunhoat on
which President Jimincs returned.
The gunboat answered the salute. No
steps have been taken by the French
consul further than entrustiny the case
to Admiral Richard. No disorders
have occurred, but the popular senti-
ment is against apologizing to France.
The people are urging the government
to prepare a system of defense, as the
overthrow of the government would be
menaced at the first evidence of weak
ness.
In raising the popular subscription
many ladies offered their jewelry. One
Spanish and one Italian merchant have
incurred the dislike of the people for
their failure to subscribe. The arrival
of the French cruiser Cecile created
considerable excitement. She reached
Santo Domingo yesterday afternoon,
but did not salute as she entered the
harbor. The situation here is tranquil.
and the government has urged the peo-
pie to show no hostility to France. 1t
is reported that France will send two
additional warships to this island.
