Lord Kitchener's Proclamation.


Lord Kitchener, the British COM
mander in chief in South Africa, has
issued n high sounding proclamation
threatening with perpetual Punishment
the Beers who do not surrender before
Sept. Is, together with a fine upon any
property belonging to them in the colo
MES 10 cover the COST of maintenance
for their families who may be under
British authority. The reasons for the
proclamation are set forth in eight
whereas" clauses. Briefly they are
that the burghers in arms are few in
numbers, not well equipped, devoid of
regular military organization and can
not carry on organized resistance, but
can only make isolated attacks on
small posts and detachments. The or
der is, according to Lord Kitchener, to
put an end to q" state of things which
is aimlessly prolOnging bloodshed and
destruction and inflicting ruin upon a
great majority of the inhabitants, who
are anxious to live in peace and earn a
livelihood for themselves and families"
Lord Kitchener's proclamation in
some respects reminds one of the YER
bal though not less pompous manifesto
of a certain Major Pitcairn, who,
speaking in the name Of George III,
thus addressed the embattled farmers
at Lexington in 1776: "Disperse you
rebels. Lay down your arms and dis
perse." But they didn't dispense. And
it remains to be seen whether stubborn
Dutch farmers give much more heed
to Kitcheners formal pronunciamento.
To a people fighting in the last ditch
for the preservation of their liberties
and fully realizing that they have moth
ing politically to hope for at the end Of
the struggle the threat of Punishment
is not likely to have a pacifying effect
Living in exile would be about as sat
iSfactory to them as living under the
dominion of the government which
took from them their liberties. The
proclamation is therefore practically
insignificant so far as any effect it may
have in ending hostilities. 1t is, as the
London Daily Mail says, "an empty
thunderbolt." 1t is significant only as
tacit confession Of the British gov
eminent that it cannot conquer the
Beers so long as any of them remain in
South Africa.

The statement made in the lndepend
emit newspaper that the value OF the
apple crop of the country is greater
than that of it's wheat production will
bring a surprise to many. The lnde-
pendent says that the total yield OF
apples in 1900 as 215, 900 barrels.
Surprising that an average price OF 81
a barrel was obtained, the aggregate
value of the crop was $3.50, 900, 900.
The average value of wheat is but a
little over $500, 100000 annually. By
this estimate the apple crop is worth
about so per cent more than the wheat.
The export of apples exceeds 4 10000
barrels year, and it is increasing. The
price abroad ranges from So to 81 a
barrel, the most of the fruit bringing
nearer the larger price. Its production
ranges over a wide extent of country,
though few sections OF it make the apple
their chief reliance for support. Our
home families do not spend great deal
of money for it, but "we are growing
frugivorous instead OF carnivorous, .
observes the Independent, and before
long pastry and bread will be subordin
ate to the better food.

O. II. & N. Time Card.

The great steel strike in the east con-
tinues to hang over the industrial horl-
zon like an ominous cloud. At present
there seems to be no Indications OF weak
ness on either side nor are any attempts
by the conflicting parties being made by
conference to effect a settlement. Out
side interests, however, are beginning to
take hand as arbiters. The steel mag
mates are manning some of their plants
with non-union men and operating them.
Both sides claim to be strong and salts
fed that they will win. Meanwhile the
whole country has before it the prospect
of protracted labor troubles, industrial
depression, and great financial losses
and perhaps ruin and want. This is the
only cloud on bright industrial horizon
and may it be speedily cleared away be-
fore it has ruined our present national
prosperity which is the greatest in the
history OF this country.

NJ. Jules Cambon, the French embas-
sador to the United States, who is now
visiting Paris, has submitted to a news
paper interview, in the course of which
he says some very pleasant things
about this country and it's people. He
says among other things: when one
returns to Europe after living with the
Americans, everything here looks
small America is so colossal and so
young that she has many other sur
prises in store for Europe" For a
Frenchman, whose whole country is
only little larger than our single state
of California, to travel on swift trains
for days and nights north, south, east
and west without crossing a national
boundary suggests a great empire.

Nothing indicates more clearly the
vast progress made by the United States
in substantial wealth during the last five
years than the increase in the volume of
American currency from 81 500 900, 900.
in 1896, to $2,184, 100000, in 1901.
This represents percentage increase Of
nearly ~ per cent in representative
wealth, and of about 33 per cent in per
capita distribution. The per capita in
1896 was $21OS and is now estimated
at $2S.07. Besides the fact that the in
crease has been so large, there is great
satisfaction in knowing that the gain
has not been brought about by shift
ing of values or through an attempt to
force into circulation any species Of
money that is not exactly what it pro-
fesses to be. One dollar is now as good
as another, anywhere and at any time,
and all varieties are received and paid
out on equal terms.
The state grain commission invit )
suggestions regarding any changes that
should be inaugurated in fixing grades
and standards for the present seasons
crop, either by communication, prior to
the annual meeting September 10, or by
representation at that time. No ma
terial alterations are now in contempla-
ton, but if any vital change were de.
manded by the trade for the benefit OF
the service they could doubtless be Sc
cured, by complying with the request OF
the commission, where criticisms offered
| later cannot be made effective.

Secretary of Agriculture Wilson has
been making a tour Of the tobacco re-
gion of the Connecticut valley and is
impressed with the remarkable success
attending the novel methods there en-
ployed in raising the Sumatra leaf
For years it was thought that this vari-
ETY. Of tobacco could not be grown in
the United States, but Yankee ingenui-
ty has solved the problem, and the
Connecticut farmers are producing as
fine a quality of Sumatra tobacco as
grows anywhere. 1t is done by stretch
ing a cover of cheesecloth over the
fields In which the plants grow. The
object is to conserve both the heat and
the moisture. The shield of canvas,
stretched foot or two above the
plants, raises the temperature fully ten
degrees higher than it is on the outside,
while at the same time it keeps the
moisture from evapOrating and pro
duces humid dollhouse atmosphere in
which vegetation fiOurishes Secretary
Wilson says he heard the owner Of
seven acres Of tobacco refuse an offer
of $500 cash for his crop. Evidently
there IS a good profit in the business
despite the extra expense. The success
of the Connecticut tobacco growers
suggests that the cheesecloth covering
might be used profitably on some other
crops and in other localities, particular
ly in the growing of vegetables and
garden truck. 1t would seem to be
worth trying.

The readers of this paper will be pleased to
learn that there is at least one dreaded disease
that science has been able to cure in all it's
stages, and that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh
Cure is the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a consti-
tutional disease, requires constitutional treat
ment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken internally,
acting directly upon the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving the
patient strength by building up the constitu-
ton and assisting nature in doing its work

A DISAPPOINTING FIGHT.
Sporting Men Criticize sharply the
JeGries-Ruhltn Con.
test.

San Francisco, Nov. 1S.-Sporting
men who witnessed Friday nights con-
test for the championship of the world
between Jim Jetfries and Gus Rubin
agree that it was one of the most dis
appointing fights ever put up by heavy
weights of reputation. No one expect
ed such tame termination, and when
Billy Madden, acting for Rubin, threw
up the sponge the fifth round, howl
of anger shook the rafters of the pa
vilion. Referee Corbett plainly showed
his surprise and at first thought that
the sponge had been thrown into the
ring by some practical joker. In an
interview after the fight Corbett said:
II think Madden made mistake.
He should have thought of the crowd
that paid big admission fee to see the
fight. The crowd that attends such ex-
hibitions wants to see the defeated
man knocked out. The fight might
have gone another round or two when
decisive blow might have been
given"
Billy Madden said that he decided to
stop at the end of the fifth to save his
man from worse punishment. Il did
not want knockout" said he.
Rubin got over his grogginess quick
ly. He was not badly punished and
bore no serious marks of the fray.
There was little trace Of the heavy
body blow in the fifth round and he is
little the worse for wear.
Rubin and his immediate followers
spoke in awed tones of Jeffries' power.
They agreed that he was a terrible
fighter and sought to console them
selves for the defeat by extolling the
champions fearful prowess.
Champion Jeffries in signed
statement says: II had not started to
fight when Madden threw up the
sponge. Had I gone at Rubin am
sure he would not have lasted two
rounds. Rubin was scared from the
first"
1t is thought that only about $4,000
was bet on the fight.

bride receives the guests with ba-

visitor entering the reception room
drops either some iewelry, silver

1t is somewhat common practice
to discard the tips and butts of the
ears when Smelling the seed corn for
planting, but the practice is of doubt
full benefit. A number of the expert
ment stations in both the north and
the south have made repeated tests
of the productiveness of seed from
different parts of the ear, but these
tests have shown no marked or con-
slant differences in yield, even when
the selections have been repeated
through several generations.
