AMERICUs. Ca, JULY 10. 1901.

We notice that in speaking of the
great southern cavalry leader, General
Forrest, that an error is often made IN
his name. He is often spoken of as
Nathan" B. Forrest. That was not
his name. His correct name was
Nathaniel Bedford Forrest His first
name was after General Green, of the
revolutionary war, and his middle name
Bedford is from this, the county in
which he was born. - Shelbyville,

RAISED A STORM.
British Political Circles Are
Greatly Agitated
By the Sensational Speech of
Gen. Butler.
ADVISED SURRENDER.
SURRENDER.
Confesses to Wanting TO Let
Ladysmith Go.
Probably Has Lost a Peerage
by Talking Too Much.

London, Oct. 1.-THE storm raised by
General Buffers remarkable outburst
yesterday afternoon, continues to grow.
The speech is the one topic of discussion
and there is general anticipation that
disciplinary measures will follow unless
General Butler himself takes the adj
vice of such a conservative supporter of
the government as the Standard and re-
signs. The tone of the press is generally
one of surprised amazement at his indis
cretions. The people of England have
generally stuck to him throughout and
his and his wife's social influence has
been most powerful and has even reach
ed the court. 1t had been decided that
he would be elevated to the peerage on
the next honor list. but it is now doubt
full, if after yesterdays confession, that
he advised the surrender of Ladysmith
"a humiliation compared with which,"
as the Standard says. "aI other re-
verses of the war would have been
trivial either the king or the people
will continue to favor him.

SALE POSTPONED.
Omaha 81 st. Louis Will Be Put Up
Saturday.

Council Bluffs, Ia, Oct. 11.-Robert
H. Kern, special master in chancery,
mounted a platform at the Omaha &
ST. Louis freight house at noon today
and announced that the sale of that
road set for today had been postponed
until tomorrow. The master gave no
reason for the postponement beyond
stating that it was on Geographic or
ders from Judge Thayer, of St. Louis.
When this announcement was made
there were present a large number of
railroad representatives and other
spectators, but the number of bidders
was limited. A stir was created early
in the day by a report that represen-
tative of the John W. Gates railroad
combination of Kansas City was pres
ent and would make the bidding spirit
ed as it was known that the Wabash
road was anxious to secure control OF
the property and would have repre-
sentative to name that company's fig
ure. The Wabash has run it's through
trains between Omaha and st. Louis
over the road for some time, and it has
been understood in railroad circles
that the Goulds would pay 100000 for
the property.

WAR ON HAWORTH
Treg0 Gold Shale Men After
Professors Scalp.
He Declared There Was No
Gold in the Shale.
PROMISED TO RESIGN
They Say, If Further Tests
Proved Him Wrong.
Gel. Close Proposes to Demand
His Resignation.

With millions swimming before their
eyes the Trego gold shale men are ready
to pounce upon Prof. Erasmus Ha-
worth of Kansas university Prof.
Haworth staked his reputation and
position against gold ever being extract
ed from the shale.
Fred J. Close and Prof. Charles H.
Gage are the point of calling the
stake.
Mr.. Close announced today that when
the board of regents of Kansas State
university holds its next meeting he will
demand Prof Haworths resignation.
Prof Haworth, after his tests of Trego
shale, declared there was no gold in it.
Mr. Close claims to hold a letter from
Prof. Haworth in which the Kansas uni
verslty professor stated, in substance,
If you succeed in getting gold out of
the Trego county Sha1e deposits, will
resign my position"
Prof. Haworth is the head of the
chemical department. He is recognized
as the leading chemist, assayiSt and
Enetallurgist in the state of Kansas. He
made extensive tests of the shale before
committing himself to this positive
of gold, but declared that the deposits
in the crucible came from the walls of
the furnace and not from the shale.
It was a decided wet blanket for the
sha1e men, They have never forgiven
him. They say Prof. Haworths opinion
was a serious set back, which retarded
the CullnlnaLlOn ana success OF Ile1r
efforts by two or three years time.
Col Close has bis mill running now,
operated by Prof. Gage He has gold
and silver to show and shows them He
considers himself a millionaire
and that the time has arrived to get
revenge on Prof. Haworth.
In announcing his determination to
make a fight for Prof. HaWorthS Off
efaI head, Mr.. Close said to State
journal reporter today:
Three weeks ago I was the poorest
man in Kansas. 1 have put my all into
the Trego shale fields. I was the first
to go into them for gold. have put in
i've years work and have expended all
my money.
Three weeks ago I did not know
where my next meal was coming from.
was down to rock-bottom- But kept
at it, There was light ahead, although
I did not know how soon it would be
reached But friends helped me and
now my mill is running. 1t is turning
out gold and silver from the shale. We
will increase our mills capacicty and

for generations

ANGRY AT BULLER.
London Papers Indignantly Call For
Sir Redvers' Resignation.

New York, Oct. 11.-Sir Redvers Bull
er's extraordinary speech is hailed with
CONSERVATION by this mornings papers,
says the Tribune'S London correspond
ent. The Standard attacks him Sc
verely, and tells him that the best
thing he can do now is to resign his
command of the First army corps. The
Daily Mail, which considers that the
speech would nave been more in place
on the boards of a theater, points out
that the message to Ladysmith is ex-
actly paralleled by Sir H. Parker's IA
nous order to Admiral Nelson at Co
penha gen. to break off the battle and
to retire in Order-a request which pos
terity has unsparingly condemned. Or
the whole, Mr.. Broderick's statement
concerning the South African situation
is fairly we'll received, but two or three
of the Conservative papers are not sat
isfied with it, continues the Tribune's

the public have faith in it today? If

Haworth we would have attained these
results a year and a half or two years

Prof. Haworth burned the shale. He
said there was not a bit of gold in it,
He did find some values in certain Of
the tests, but then he would not admit
that the gold came out of the shale. He
said it must have dropped from the

new furnace?

conceded long ago that the gold could
not be brought out of TregO shale by
burning. If the man is not large

bring it out, 1t is time to let him out
