London, March 4-General Dewet lost

the Beers had not been at Phillipstown

struggling across the river at Colesberg
Apparently this is another instance Of
defective intelligence regarding the do

from Colesberg, dated yesterday, which
says:
"Our numerous columns are still hunt

directions to press the pursuit further"

The election of a third vice president
of the Santa Fe is a matter of much in
terest in Topeka and along the Santa
F'e generally. The office became vacant
on May 1 when ]. NJ Barr resigned.
and on the same day the board of d.
rectors met expecting to choose a sue
cessor But since Wednesday no re-
suits of the meeting have been made
public, and 1t is believed that the d.
rectors are having some difficulty in
aking a choice. It was thought that
H. U. Nudge. present general manager,
would be given the place and that the
board would finish its business the first
day.
When seen this afternoon Mr.. Nudge
disclaimed all knowledge as to what ac-
ton the board might have taken. Il
haven't heard anything from New
York" said he. Il suppose the board is
still in session and it is probable the
delay means that a controversy is on
as to who shall be elected In my opin-
ion, though, the position of third vice
president will be abolished
Mr.: Nudge knew nothing about the
election of a successor to Aldace r.
Walker. late chairman of the board.

BIG TAX ON OFFENDERS

Wichita. Kas., May 4.-Polfce Judge
Stanley figured up his docket yesterday
and found that he had collected in fines
during the month OF April the sum OF
$s.Os9.
This sum was donated by people who
have violated the laws of Wichita to re-
lieve the taxpayers who are supposed to
bear the burdens OF government It is
a case of those who do the dancing
paying the fiddler.
These collections make a pretty good
showing for the first month of the new
administration. The police judge makes
the collections. but it is the chief OF po-
lice and his force that go out into the
hedges and byways where the offenders
of law love to congregate and bring
them into Judge Stanley's feast. These
collections show that not very many
offenders have slipped by the new chief
Of police and his officers.
The police collections have been a
source Of congratulation for the tax
was granted home rule, nearly three
years ago, and the good work goes
bravely on The collections this last
April shows an increase over the same
month last year, which were $2,799. p.
The collections for the month OF April,
1895. were 50, 1850. and the collections
for the month of March this year were
$2.632.
The books Of the police judge show
that OF these large collections for the
month of April, the slot machines paid
$500 This is what the suckers pay who
love to put their nickel in the slot The
collection of revenue to bear the ex-
pense of city government has long been
a problem the solution Of which has
always been interesting to the people
who pay taxes on real estate. 1t is the
policy of nearly every city administra-
ton to compel the violators of the law
to contribute their mite to the payment
Of the police force maintained for their
benefit and what they pay represents
the police collections.

in revolt because they are not allowed
to receive sweethearts at their cottage
The rules are strict on this point. No
man is allowed TO desecrate the hal
lowed atmosphere of the cottage occu-
pied by the nurses under any considera-
ton According to the officers it was
evidently the intention OF the board OF
managers who had the cottage built
that it be used as a home for the nurses
instead of a trysting place for lovers
And it is the enforcement of this rule
that has made the pretty nurse girls
tire of their duties and leave the hos
pital.
It is said that some of the nurses
have been in the habit of receiving the
attention of gentlemen friends outside
of the home grounds and at the resi-
dences of various officers at the home.
This led to a rupture between the
nurses and DIR. Hull. which has not
abated any in the last few weeks and
which resulted in two of the nurses
handing in their designations.
DIR. Hull said to a reporter last night
in speaking of the matter:
Yes, it is true that some Of the
nurses have resigned. Miss Maude
Gratz, Of Pennsylvania. and Mrs. Min
ME O'Neil, of Kansas City, kas., have
left the hospital They were given to
understand that unless they resigned
of their own volition, they would be
asked to. Miss Minnie Kleinfelter re-

Crows as Enenniaa of Terranina.

IFrom the Baltimore SUM-
The crow is the evil genius of the tur-
tie just as of the diamond back and other
terrapins. When the warm days of spring
come and the female teFrapins and tur-
ties leave their beds in the marsh, the
crow goes on guard knowing that q sea-
son of feasting is at hand Both terra
pins and turtles seek the. warm. sandy
uplands near the shore to deposit their
eggs A hole is dug several inches deep
and from twenty to thirty inches oh
long, white eggs are deposited and then
the nest is filled or covered with sand.
Having neatly piled the sand over the
eggs, the turtle raises herself just as
high as possible, then comes down with 4
heavy tl1ud on the sand. This IS continued
until the sand is quite hard, when the
eggs are left for the sun to hatch.
IN the meantime the crow has been on
guard, and by means of his sharp bill and
strong claws the work Of breaking into
turtle is quickly accomplished and the
feast liz soon over. The crow is consider
ed by many to be the greatest enemy the
diamond back has. It IS an easily estab-
iished fact that the crow destroys thou
