The so-called sensitometer number Of
dry plates is a delusiOn. Why plate
makers keep it up is Of the things
photographers cannot explain. One
firm uses 26 as indicating about the ex-
IRENE Of rapidity, another has 90, and
there is a third with 40. What does 1t
all amount to, anyway? Dry plates take
on rapidity with age, and a plate that
is medium" when new will be chain
lightning, or whatever else you want
to call it, after 1t has been kept long
enough. Some of the makers Of the
best plates are dropping the numbering
and giving a name to distinguish the
slower from the extremely rapid. That
is all right and answers all purposes.

Diseased Yeomanry Are neing
Sent Home-Moedwil Has Been
Abandoned.
London, Oct. 3.-"For months past
we have been told" says the Daily
Graphic, this morning. that if the
Beers would only abandon their elusive
tactics and come to close quarters we
should see what we should see. The
Beers have taken us at our word, and
the results are certainly not encourag-
ing"
The chorus of dissatisfaction with
the inertia of the government is daily
gathering force. Winston Churchill, M.
p, speaking last night at Oldham, de-
scribed the situation in South Africa
as serious and disquieting." He said
the war could not be ended by procla-
nations or threats. but only by vigor-
Gus military operations.
The Daily Mail and the Daily Chron-
icle comment upon the fact that the
huge British army is seemingly only
able to remain on the defensive.
The Standard says:
"The Beers are fighting with deter
mination and a contempt for their own
lives such as were seldom shown in
the early periods of the war. Their
plan is to keep Lord Kitchener's army
busy in the north and to give the
rowing commanders in Cape Colony an
opportunity to raise the Cape Dutch
against Great Britain"
To Meet the situation.
It is believed that the government
at last recognizes the necessity OF
meeting the renewed Boer activity
Preparations are being made to re-
place Lord Kitchener's exhausted men
by fresh drafts. An order has been
issued rendering it impossible to dis
charge by purchase from any of the
army reserves, sections of which are
being prepared for mobilization.
Lord Kitchener has sent home a
fresh batch of imperial yeomanry
suffering from organic diseases unfit
ting them for life on the veldt, to-
gether with a strong protest against
the waste of public time and money in
enlisting such men.
There is further evidence of the seri-
BUSINESS of the situation in Cape Col
ony. The Cape premier, Sir John Cor
don Sprigg, has gone to Johannes
burg to meet Lord Kitchener and
Lord Miner in conference, probably on
the subject of declaring martial law
in Cape ports.

which is close to the Magatos pass in
the Magaliesberg range, has been

AMI after the man had been hanged 1t

There were about 200 men engaged in
the affair and they were all masked
They attacked the Jail door with bat

gaining adnnittance they demanded at

jailer then got the man out of his cell
and he was given to the mob. When
they first took him Brady said:

Hnrvie JORDAN Delivers strong Ad-
dress to National Farmers Congress.
Sioux Falls, S. D., Oct. 2.-Harvie
Jordan of Georgia, president of the
Southern Interstate Cotton Growers
Association, read paper on THE Me-
aragua Canal; It's Importance to Farm
ers of the South and West" at the
morning session of the Farmers Ma
tional Congress.
He declared that the canal was
great national necessity" and that
while the South and West would get
a large share of benefit, the East would
also profit. He declared that the trans
Continental railroads were bringing
heavy pressure to bear on Congress to
defeat the canal legislation and the
producing classes ought to make a
counter demonstration. He said the
railroads were shortsighted in oppos-
ing the canal, as the increased busi-
an expansion of trade would more than
offset traffic losses to the canal or re-
sulting from decreased rates.
The speaker referred to President
McKinley's Buffalo speech, pledging the
administration to support the project,
and expressed the belief that President
Roosevelt would carry out that policy.
he DeleVed the canal would pay inter-
est on its cost and operating expenses
and good income in addition. with 20
cents per ton less toll than charged by
the Suez canal.
Discussion developed the fact that
the Congress was practically united in
favoring the canal and 1t is likely that
strong resolutions in it's favor will be
adopted.

fifty men of the Third Regiment, under

Walter Blankenship and wounding two
others of the assembly. A warrant was
sworn out for Sheriff North by II. c.

was legally executed here under a mill

Deputy Sheriff Crow. The feeling
against Sheriff North has been intense
at times. The trial promises to con-

the belief that the Boxers have had
