DEwET Is ELUSIVE.
Report That He Had Been Captured
Is Untrue.

London, Dec. 30.-Persistent reports
were in circulation in London and on
the continent that Gen. Dewet had
been captured. but the following from
Cape Town proves the rumors untrue:
Gen. Dewet's attempt to break
through the South has been frus-
trated and he is now reported to be
at Senekal with a large commando,
holding the country between Fecks-
burg, Senekal and winburg. Gen.
Knox is holding the country between
Ladybrand and Winburg. The East
ern parties of invading Beers are be-
ing constantly harrassed and driven
back toward the Orange river"
The Official Gazette publishes a no.
tice that Yeomanry Officers Spragge
and II. Woodhouse have resigned their
commissions. They belonged to the
yeomanry which was present last
May at Lyndley under command Of
Gen. Colyille. whose resignation as
commander of an infantry brigade at
Gibraltar, but who formerly command
ed the Ninth division of the South
African field force, had been requested
at the war office.

mando eighteen miles west of DE Aar

He captured a number of wagons and
released the Cape police Who were
captured at Philirstown. Gen. Grenfell
has turned back kritzinger's COM
mando toward vealerstadt. Both
sections of the raiders are in a very
desperate plight, and IL is probable
that they will never be able to return
TO the Orange River colony. They
have received little accession in
strength from the colonial Dutch. The
invasion viii probably end in com
plete failure.

tention to open an office here soon where

niicant remark that shows to a very
large extent the condition of Brown
county schools 81 find almost all the
schools in the hands Of teachers who are
teaching under permits and I am think
ing of making the rule requiring that
all teachers shall have state certificates" !"
This is the condition the new superin-
tendent finds and as he IS practical
man himself and believes in thorough
ness this chance remark of his shows
that under the present superintendent
there will be no favorites played and no
permits given to secure the favor of the
friends of some youth who is too strong
to work but who is plenty strong enough
to get permit. Mr.. Cutting will de-
serve the thanks of every voter in the
county if he will raise the scholarship
of Brown county teachers, for in raising
their scholarship he will take the frs
step towards improving the rural schools.
The county is to be congratulated on
the fact that real live man is now sup
erintendent of schools.
