GOOD CHEER.
THE FIRST FIRE OF THE SEASON.

The first fire of the season warns my hearth;
Like bright moth that long ensheathed has lain.
Shaking its wings of many Orient stain,
II leaves the prtsOning oak logs sturdy girth.
Fresh with the new old gladness Of the earth.
RenaScent II springs forth. and I fain

TO think that here she has her true rebirth.
Ay-the sweet spirit of the summer flown.
For, when beside the fire close my eyes

IN summer shade, or under summer Skies
Inc whiT of insects in the fields mown,
me call OF birds and happy leaf drawn signs!

There is no vegetable that deserves better or
meets with worse treatment than the useful potato.
Yet the very cooks who send il TO the table sCggy,
greensh and anything but white and mealy would
gasp with amazement were so much a hint given
that they did know how to cook a potato.
Irish housewives. who past grand masters of
the art, always plunge the sound potato
into boiling sailed water but the old wilted
tuber is soaked in cold water for hour or more
before boiling. Many people always place old
potatoes over the fire in cold water. letting them
boil fifteen minutes and then adding a tea

them cook ten minutes longer.

MIR. KRUGER's DEPARTURE
Significance of the Retreat-A Broken
 Man Physically

Albert G. Robinson in the New York Even-
 ing Post
 The departure of Mir. Kruger from the Transvaal, or even from South Africa, is not without significance, but it does not necessarily mean that England's troubles are over or that there will be no further guerrilla activity. Kruger's witSsdrwal from his country will remove his personality, but it will not remove in more than moderate degree that immense influence which that personality has stamped upon the minds and burned into the hearts of thousands of his followers. Y
 Since his departure from Pretoria, ir the closing days of May last, the ex-PresideBt's hand has had but little to do with the guld- ance of affairs. From the date of Lord Roberts advance from Bloemfonteips BIS. more emphatically since the evacua tiOn4 os Krooustad, on May Il, 1 am convinced that MT Kruger has realized the hopefessaress of his cause. Every effort was made to suppress the fact of his practical coIlapse, physically, upon the receipt of the news that Kroonstad had been abandoned to the advance of Lord Roberts. His physician issued a public denial of the. rumors that the President was ill., but admitted the truth of 1t in confidence to few. think there IS no doubt that he was at that date shaken and a heart-broken old man.
 My letteers from that date, from South Africa referred to that which was fur ther blow to him. That came in the shape of the unanswered prayer to that God in whom Kruger unswervingfy believed. His God was not the God of Phillips Brooks, of Storrs, and D. L. Moody. He was the God of Abraham Isaac, and Jacob, divine protector of a sehosen people," which the Boers, like the Tsraelites of old, believed themselves to be. Kruger, by public procamatio appointed three of the clos ing days of May as days of national pray CT. "the people, turning in sin and repent ance to Almighty God" beseeching that He would avert tAa impending calamity. On those very days, Lord Roberts crossed the Vaal, and, practically for the first

 Forty-fve Minute Talk
MANY WOMEN IN PARADE

Lincoln Neb October "A big Repub- Hcan demonstration at this place, the home of Bryan and the capital of the State, took place today. The line of march of the carriages from the station to the capitol house square, over a mile and half, was lined with people and the wide streets were filled almost the entire dis tance to such an extent that in many places the passage of the carriages and the mounted escort was impeded. Arriving at the capitol square, Governor Roosevelt was conducted to a reviewing stand and the procession passed in review, occupy ing more than an hour. There were many unique and amusing features in this pa- rade. One was the number of women on foot that took part in it. First came about forty young women of the city in uniforms of blue. At long intervals came two other troops of women in uniforms. The Ida Mckinley Club, numbering about fifty women, wore an outer garment of stars and stripes, the stripes forming the skirt of the dress and the blue background with stars made into shirt waist. One march ing column bore this banner: Third Ne braSka; O Billy, why did you leave us? o, Billy. why did you leave usT'
 The Union Veteran Republican League had a banner bearing this incription: We helped Abraham Lincoln in 1860; we are helping Mckinley now"
 Another banner: Four generations for Mckinley and Roosevelt-Father, son, grandson and great grandson"
 Another read: For sale, one large front perch. W. J. B."
 A German club held an official full din- ner pail with bread and sausage. The Lincoln Travelling Mems Club. three hundred strong, bore this banner: Vim, Vigor and Victory"
 Another: Flight more years of the full dinner pail; four for Mckinley and then four for Teddy"
 One of the amusing features was double headed calf. the skin stuffed, with the tail on the head, with this motto: "The result of fusion; it died'
 After the procession had passed Governor over the same ground in his remarks that he has traversed before upon the issues of expansion, miltarfsm, imperialism and pa- triotism
 At the conclusion of his speech on his way from the stand to the carriage he was fairly mobbed by the eager crowd who wished to shake his hand. He reached his carriage somewhat tattered in appearance, but in fine spirits, on account of the fervor of the reception The train pulled out for Plattsburg, where an evening meeting was held. The evening meeting at Plattsburg was also a great success in point of num- bers and interest. This meeting closed the days itinerary.

time, invaded Transvaal territory and threatened the nations capital.
 The next day Kruger and his associates left Pretoria In haste and confusion, and fled eastward. I am well assured that he fully realized that the game was hopelessly lost, though not necessarily played out His latest departure may somewhat affect the immediate situation, but 1t will have little tendency to reconcile the burghers to Englands rule over them. In the hearts of m A'y of his people that really wonder ful man will stand as a martyr, and the cause of national independence for which he lived and struggled will remain to many a cause for which they should still strive in such ways, openly or otherwise, as may be possible to them.
 Schalk Burger, the Vice President man Of broader and more modern ideas, may now officially surrender. Botha's abdlcation in favor of Ben Vdljoen may be construed. with probable accuracy, into a virtual dis solution of the remnant of the Transvaal army. Lord Roberts proclamation of the continued detention of 15,0o0 Boer prisoners of war until the unconditional surrender of those still under arms will carry weight with the people.
 His announcement of policy of increas- ingly stringent measures is probably wholly permissible as a. war process. Lord Rob- erts is man of kindly humanity and a soundness of judgment. But the wisdom of a policy of reprisal and stern oppression through imprisonment of men and destruc- ton of property, particularly with such people as the Boers, is always an open question. England was rather mortified at the idea of Boer destruction under any circumstances. It is, of course, quite a different matter when the boot Is on the other leg.
 Lord Roberts admits the costliness to England of the war up to the present time. The account on the Boer side has also been heavy one. It has cost life and property and the national independence for which the life and property were given. Kruger may go where he will. England S pathway in her newly conquered territory gives every promise of being strewn with rocks and bordered with thorns.

DUEL TO DEATH
 NEAR TUSCALOOSA Desperate Fight Between Two
 Railroad Men, EMITTED THEIR REV0LVERS One of the Principals is Nephew of Former Governor Lowery of Mis-.
 sissippiz Resulted. from 2 rs Disagreement
 
EMITTED THEIR REVOLVERS

Tuscaloosa, October 2.-(Special. )-At Moundville, a small station sixteen miles south of here, Rodney J. Lowry, station agent, and w II, White, section foreman. became involved in some words about the moving of a car of seed by White. It is said that White pulled his pistol and threatened to shoot Lowry, who went into his office and secured his own pistol. When he returned to the platform White began shooting at him, the first shot striking him in the right forearm and three of the other shots lodging in the leg, right side and chest The latter pierced his lung. The fifth bullet grazed his left side. Low " returned the fire as he ran towards White. None of the first four of Lewry's shots took effect, as he was badly disabled by the shot in the right arm.
 The last of the five shots, made within five feet of White, lodged in the latters abdomen. As Lowry fired bis last shot he sprang on White and began clubbing him with the butt end of his pistol. He fear fully mutilated Whites ear and it took six men to pull him off. Both men are in that they will die. The men had some words last Saturday afternoon, and the fight today is result of the hard feeling engendered then.
 Lowry is a nephew of Former Governor Lowry of Mississippi. and is single man of about 8 years of age. White is a mar ried man of about 40 and has a wife and three children. The northbound train was delayed thirty minutes on account of the operator being unable to take orders after the shooting.
