ALARM In CAPE TOWN.
Uprising OF the Dutch Said to Re Imminent
Kitchener Tells Of BOsr Captures,
hut at A Great Sacrifice.

London, Sept. 23.--The war office
has received the following dispatch
from Lord Kitchener, dated Pretoria,
September 20: "Kritzinger, while en-
deavoring to force a passage of the
Orange river near Herschell Friday
morning rushed the camp of a party
of Lovatt's scouts. lie failed to
cross the river, but the scouts lost
heavily. Under cover Of darkness the
Beers managed to carry off gun.
They were promptly followed up and
the gun was recovered in a smart en-
gagement, in which Kritzinger lost
two killed and 20 taken prisoners"
Lord Kitchener also reports that
the British captured by the Beers in
the ambush near Scheeper's Mex,
September II, have been released and
that the British casualties In the re-
cent Vlakfontein engagement when
the Beers captured a company o!
mounted infantry and two guns)
were / officer and 5 men killed, ~
men wounded and 9 officers and 100
men taken prisoners. He announces
that these prisoners have since been
released. He further reports the cap
ture of two commandoes-one con-
sisting Of IS men under Commandant
Kochs, who were taken, together
with their entire transport, west OF
Adenburg, and the other, consisting
of 81 men, including p. J. Botha, who
were taken with As wagons and Their
belongings As miles southeast OF Car
olna.
Lord Kitchener's latest dispatches
although they contain good news as
well as bad, have done little TO reas
sure the public concerning the state
OF affairs. The loss Of Lieut.. Col
Murray, q brother Of Lord Mansfield
Is keenly felt. There Is little doubt
that further details will show 1t wa'
serious affair.
At Pretoria the strength OF The
Beers in the field is now estimated al
II 900. II these figures be correct
the Beers must be constantly gaining
recruits. Their supply Of arms ant
ammunition seems to BIO inexhausti
Bile. In Boer circles In Holland 1t II
asserted that everything is prepared
for Dutch rising in both Cape Col
ony and Natal.
Alarming Note from Cape Town.
London, Sept. pa most alarms
letter from Cape Town Is published
by the Daily Express. The writel
says: "The Beers are overrunnint
Cape Colony. They are on both thu
coast lines and within 10 miles Of Capt
Town. Even the intelligence depart
ment does not know how naay colo
NAL rebels have taken up srns II

AN uNEvENrFuL SUNDAY.


Washington, Sept. 23.-President
Roosevelt's first Sunday in Washing
ton as chief executive was compare
lively uneventful. He went out twice
during the day, in the morning at
tending religious service with his
brother-in-law and in the afternoon
taking long stroll through Rock
Creek park with Gen. Leonard Wood,
military governor Of Cuba. In the
evening he dined with the family at
the residence of Capt. Cowles, of the
navy, at whose residence he is stay
ing preparatory to moving into the
white house. This Mr.. Roosevelt
probably will do on Tuesday, his fam
lily joining him there day or two
later. The president did not visit the
white house during the day.
Mr.. Roosevelt left the Cowles resi-
dence shortly before II o'clock for
the Reformed church, located at Fiji
teenth and O streets, which as vice
president he chose as his church home
just after the Inauguration. Reach
ing the church just before tAe hour
of worship President Roosevelt was
met at the door by Rev. ]. N. Schick,
the pastor, who extended a cordial
greeting. He was then escorted to
the presidents pew, the second from
the front in the center section. The
church, which has seating capacity
of perhaps 200 persons, was filed to
overlooking and many persons were
unable to gain admittance. The
president participated in the services
and at the close the congregation re-
NAMED standing until he and Mr..
Robinson, his brother-in-law, left the
edifice.
With Mr.. Robinson the president
started across Fifteenth street. A
bicycle officer, under instructions pre-
viously given, started to follow, but
Mr.. Roosevelt turned and with m
impatient wave of the hand said. ~
don't need you" The officer there
upon turned back and the president
and Mr.. Robinson continued their
walk, going in a roundabout way to
Capt. Cowles' house.
The presidents walk with Gen.
Wood covered about six miles in all.
The general called for Mr.. Roosevelt
with an automobile. The two got
into the vehicle together at the
Cowles residence, but the Chauffeur
was dismissed when the outskirts of
the city were reached and the two
men, who had seen much of each
other as commanding officers of the
rough riders in Cuba, footed their
trip the remainder of the way. Their
walk lay through the beautiful sec
ton of the suburbs known as Rock
Creek park, with which Gen. Wood
was familiar as a horseman during
his long residence here. They were
gone about two hours. During that
time Gen. Wood went over much OF
the Cuban situation with the presi-
dent, informing him in detail of the
condition of affairs and of the pros
pects for the future of the island.
The day was a perfect one and the
president enjoyed his outing inn
mensely.

REVIEW OF TRADE.
The Sad Events Of tho Week Tell on tho
Volume Of Business-C Corn Strong
Failures.

New York, Sept. 2l.-Bradstreet's
says: The sad events Of tho week
have naturally been REFRESHING tea
lures, even on days when the sense
of national bereavement did not seek
expression in total or partial suspen-
sion Of all but the absolutely neces-
sary activities. The reduced figures
OF sales of products or securities dealt
In specuatively and the lessened vol
ume Of bank clearings were among
the most prompt measures OF the re-
preston under which the business
world has labored, but the course of
prices Of nearly all stocks and staples
shows that repression and not de-
preston is the word to express the
steadness and confidence with which
the commercial and financial world
awaited and received the change In
executives, though not in govern
ment, entalled by the lamentable &C.
currence Of two weeks ago.
Among the more favorable OF the
purely commercial or industrial fea-
lures of the week have been the con-
tinuance of the good demand from
jobbers, the very shipments Of goods
with which to fill these demands, the
better call for goods ut retail, In
duced by the arrival Of cool, fall
weather, and last, but not least, the
settlement Of the steel strike, which
restores at least $4,000 men to their
work. The untavorable features are
few, the most notable being the adj
vances OF the arrival OF heavy frosts
in the corn belt, affecting, however,
only the latest planted product. The
strength of corn has been indeed the
feature of the cereal markets and has
been shared In by other grains,
though realizing later cut down some
Of the gains noted earlier. Cottons
alone Of all the leading staples
showed irregularity, advancing early,
but weakening in the middle OF the
week on poor cables, and despite crop
reports again frming toward tho
close on a repetition of late reports
and rather better tone abroad.

THE CHICKEN YARD.

No henhouse that is frequently dust
ed with lime will be infested with lice.
Lime purfies the quarters and dries
them. 1t is cheap and should be used
plentifully.
Always have the nests so low that
, the hens can step in rather than be
obliged to jump down.
If the fowls get too fat, oats as a sim
gle food are one of the best grains that
can be given to lessen fat.
Mating birds to breed to feather is
high art. to be acquired only by long
practice, aided by close study.
A fiat perch is best because of being
the most comfortable to the feet and
the best support to the breast.
There are three breeds of fowls tha
are pre-eminently valuable as egg pro
ducers. These are the Minorcas, Leg
horns and Black Spanish.
A medium sized active male is twice
as valuable as one that is large and
extra heavy. If large size and weight
are desired, select large hens, but the
male should be active and vigorous.
When fowl has canker and the
mouth and throat are sore and ulcer.
ated. wrap soft rag around a lead
pencil. dampen it slightly. dip in chic
rate Of potash and swab out the mouth
clean and inject drop Of turpentine.

BUSINESS Mems Lecture Course.

We have secured a splendid list

ing; Father Cleary, the renowned
Minneapolis priest; Willitts who is
one OF the Oldest men both in years

believe it will prove very popular
with our people. AS our special at
traction of the season we have
booked Professor Williams, who
will demonstrate in Wireless Teleg-
raphy. This we expect to be draw
ing card with us; for there could be
nothing more instructive, fascinat.
ing and popular.
Our entire course more than paid

able to it's patrons. This year we
are paying more for better grade
of entertainments: and having a
larger number of business men on

better support. Be ready for the

The Churches Augmented.

sunday will ever be memorable
day to the various churches of the
town owing to the increased mem
bershlp which added untold
strength to the Christian workers
Those who had predicted that the
work IN the meetings that are now
past would be superficial and no
good or lasting results obtained
nave changed their minds. The
seating capacity of every church
was We'll filled at the Sunday morn
ing services and at the close of the
sermons the doors of the church
were opened to those who had been
converted in the recent meetings
ana desired to unite with the church.
The scene that followed was grand
ly impressive and filled the hearts of
the members with JOY unspeakable.
Ihere were a few who for personal
reasons could not be present but
VIII be taken in at later meetings.
Inc churches have right to re-
lolce over their sweeping victory
out no one IS more elated over their
success than the new converts who
deeply appreciate the. efforts put
forth In their behalf and will en-
deavor to show their gratitude to
those who kindly and patiently
labored to win them from the paths
of sin.
There is fraternal feeling be-
tween the churches and also
between their members which has
a strong. tendency to hold up high
standard of Christian living and
Christian practice. The tendency
viii be to prevent the members of
the various churches from partic-
ipatln9 in what is known and re-
garded as questionable amuse-
mentS.
Long may the work continue to
grow and bring forth good results
that will tell on the side of right in
the Years to come.
