Feel Complimented.


Pretoria, Jan. 1.-The Beers consld-
er it a great compliment to the
Transvaal that Lord Roberts should
have been selected to the supreme
command of the British forces.
Last night Sunday the British
in great force attacked Commandant
Schoeman's commando in the Coles
berg district and tried to storm the
position. They repeated the attack
this morning, but were forced to re-
treat, the Beers holding the position.
The loss of the British is not known,
but it is reported to have been heavy.

Slight casualties, about three killed ant
| few wounded. Details later"
Brief independent messages from
Rensberg, filed the evening of Januar,
1, supplement Gen. French's dispatch
but slightly. According to them the
British We're still Smelling the Boer po
sition at five o'clock and expected tc
enter Colesberg Tuesday.
The British losses were three men
killed and seven wounded. No officers
were killed or wounded. The Beers are
supposed to have suffered heavily from
the accuracy of the British artillery
fire. Gen. French's statement that the
Beers were using 15-pounder and
fers to one of the British guns captured
at Stormberg.
The Boer strength in the engagement
with Gen. French was estimated at
from 5000 to 1000 men.
Will Have Good Moral Effect.
While the afternoon newspapers are
disposed to overrate the brilliancy of
Gen. French's success, it will doubtless
have good moral effect and, if prompt
ly followed up, as seems likely from
the fact that Remington's guides are
already advancing on Achterlang, it
may result in securing Norvals Pont
bridge, thus gaining an important
strategic advantage. as thence Gen.
French will probably be able to threat
en- Bethulie bridge, which is the main
line of retreat for the Beers facing
Gen. Gatacre.
Other official dispatches, dated Janu-
airy /. say Gen. Methuen's position is
unchanged.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by localapplications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inhamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
inflamed you have rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed, Deafness is the result.
and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de.
Stroyed forever: nine cases out of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is moth
ing but an infamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.

Curator Charles Aldrich has returned
from Washington, D. c. He believes he
has measures on foot which will bring
to Iowa important letters relating to
territorial matters in Iowa under her
three territorial governors-Lucas.
Chambers and Clarke. Matters of this
kind in the department now is very

The New York Commercial sends the
: PLAIN DEALER letter accompanied
with articles from the Commercial OPP
posing the passage of lawof congress
prov iding for atcheap parcels post, on
the ground that it will injure the
country merchants. From our view of
the matter it looks more as if the
Commercial was interested in the well
fare of the express companies than in
that of the country merchants. Thous-
ands of dollars are annually sent to
merchants in Minneapolis, ST. Paul.
and Chicago, for merchandise which
comes by express, 2 the charges upon
which is simply eXtortionate, measured
by its cost to the companies. The
Commercial cannot check this drain of
money away from the country mer-
chants unable to meet the wants of
the people. The question is whether
they Shall pay only a just-and reason
able compensation for the service or
whether. that shall continue to pay the
eXtortinate rates exacted by the ex
press companies. The United States
is now paying for the use of the mail
cars, SO there would be no additional
( cost on rhat account, and in but few
seasons of the year would its r. p. o.
clerks be unable to take care of the
additional mail that would accrue
from that source. The animal post
office deficit will continue as long as
United States pays for the use of its
mail cars annually the cost of a car,
which can be used for about 20 years.
The Commercial can serve the country
better by stimulating congress to look
into this matter than by the course it
is pursuing.

Vallejo, Cal, Jan. "a serious land
slide occurred on the water front of
Mare Island Monday night. AS re-
suit, $50 feet of the sea wall slid into
the bay, carrying with it 900 tons of
granite work, cement and earth and
loosening up fully 100 feet more of
the wall. The break is believed to be
due to the fact that heavy rains of the
past few days had so filled the soil
back of the embankment with water
that the pressure could not be with

damage in money caused by the land
slide will be $4,000, to say nothing
