which sometimes occurs in chains made
of solid metal. The method consists in
winding wire into links and binding
the turns of wire by dipping in a bath
of liquid zinc or other noncorrosive
material. The wired links may also be
stiffeneG by being wound on an Internal
steel lining adapted to receive the
wrappings of wire. II is claimed that
chains made by this method provide
equai strength with less waste OF metal.

PEACE FROM DEATH
Mrs. Kruger's Demise May Shorten
the War.
MR.. KRUGER MAY LOSE HEART
President Said to Be Pre-
carious.

London, July 22-The death of Mrs.
Kruger may have some influence in short
ening the war. Mr.. Kruger himself has
been reported to be exceedingly despond-
ent over the military operations and the
correspondence between Reitz and Steyn
has justified this encouragement. His
domestic bereavement may cause him to
lose heart for continuing a hopeless
struggle. His Dutch physicians have
been warning him for months against the
consequences of excitement, since his
heart action is abnormally weak.
The story is brought by influential
South Africans that General Botha was
strongly disposed to surrender but did
not consider himself at liberty to do SO
against the judgment of Mr.. Kruger.
General Botha has family to provide for
and is without resources. South Africans
assert that he is dependent upon allow
ances which Mr.. Kruger has agreed to
make him If he continues the struggle so
long as possible.
The newspapers refer in tones Of SYM
pathy to the death of Mrs. Kruger. 1t is
expected that the British army in South
Africa will pay to her in death, honors
which her former position would have
demanded.

THE LOST ELKS'
They Arrive in Vast Numbers
in Milwaukee, Gossip of
the Election.

Milwaukee, Wis, July 22.-Trains,
boats, coaches, in fact every available
means of transportation is being used to
bring Elks to Milwaukee. Over 20, 900 have
arrived and they are still coming from
every direction. The hotels are packed to
their utmost capacity and boarding
houses are rapidly filling up.
Much interest is already being shown in
the outcome of the election of grand ex-
alted ruler of the order which will be
held Thursday in the large exposition
building.
1t is generally conceded here by mem
bers Of the local lodge that J. C. Nethe-
way of Saltwater, Mimi, will carry the
election by a close vote. His friends
claim for him 308 votes.
However, c. e. Pickett, the other can
didate, who is from Waterloo, Iowa, has
an excellent running chance according to
his henchmen, who are arriving here in
vast numbers.
1t has been definitely decided that the
prospective home for INDECENT Elks will
be located at Springfield, Ohio.
Three cities are out after next years
onvention-Saratoga Springs, Salt Lake
City and Baltimore. OF these Baltimore
seems to be the popular choice
Street decoration is now nearly COM
pleted and all preparations for the recep-
tion and carrying out of the program o1
the week have been made.

a down turn and there was short selling
