NEW JOINT QUESTION.
Attorney Springs New Spotter De-

Rayuor by John Bernard, A. H. Luster
and Officer Leinley. They went to Ray
nor's wholesale house as prospective
jointists and bought beer and whisky to
be used in running a joint, so they ex-
planned to Raynor. The argument made
by the defense today was that the city
cannot procure a man to commit a
crime and afterward punish him for the
commission Of that same crime. r. F.
Hayden, for the defense, cited three de-
cisions from Colorado that if the de-
PENDANT is convicted and the city de-
rives a benefit of fines collected that it
is contrary to public policy for the city
to conniVe with a person in order to get
him to commit crime which inures to
the city'S benefit.

KNOCKS TASK.
It is to Follow De Wet While His
Horses Last

Horses Last.
New York, Jan. 1O-A dispatch to the
Tribune from London says:
The fresh affair at Lindley, where the
British have already had many mishaps,
is vaguely described by Lord Kitch-
ener. The force referred to as the
'bodyguard" is not Knox's own guard,
but a distinct organization, either a.
corps recruited by Lord Roberts for
personal protection during the march
from Modder river to Pretoria, or some
tary men do not understand that Cen
eral Knox himself was with the force
which suddenly was attacked by a Boer
commando of superior strength, but ex
plain that several British columns are
cooperating in the pursuit of De Wet,
and that one of them has been sharply
engaged with the Beers and lost forty
officers and men killed or wounded.
The fact that the wounded had been
taken into Hebron indicates that
Knox's mounted force has followed
De Wet from the Orange and Caledon
the northern edge Of the colony toward
the Vaal. He has not been diverted
from his pursuit by the raids Of ma
rauders south of the Orange river, but
has traversed the country keeping on
the right side of the railway. He has a
rowing commission evidently, and has
been ordered to follow De Wet as long
as his horses are fit for the work. The
new Lindley affair will probably turn
out a BOer success, either on the part
of De Wet or of the forces which have
crossed the Vaal, broken through the
railway Gordon at Rhenoster and
reached LindIey. 1t it a fresh indication

Why doesn't some enterprising pro-
moter start a company which will insure
against loss and damage by strikes? An
institution of that character should do
a good business and might solve the
problem Of how to prevent such disturb
anees- Perhaps employees would not re-
sort to this method Of settling disputes
when they found it impossible to in
hict pecuniary loss upon their employ
ers. The members Of the labor union
are already practically insured in a

stroyed by fire late yesterday after
noon. The residence was Of old Eng
lish architecture and richly furnished
throughout, the furnishings alone cost
ing $4,000. Very little was saved. es-
pecially on the first floor. where the IL
brary, parlor, drawing rooms, etc, were
situated The loss to the owner is esti-
mated between $4,000 and $4,000. The
cause of the fire is unknown, but as it
occurred late in the afternoon when
members of the family were around the
estate it is not believed that it was of
incendiary origin. The owner was on
his golf links when the alarm was given.
VIC Carnegie is a son of Mrs. Lucie
Carnegie. whose estate at Dungenness,
five miles distant. is one Of the finest in
the south. He is a. nephew of Andrew
Carnegie, and has a national reputation
as a golf expert. The Stafford Place

CARE

take care of the small things we are in
effect taking care of the large things
which the small things combine to make.
That is the philosophy of the old hnan-
cial proverb, and its application is as
broad as human life.
Take care of what you eat, when you
eat. and how you eat, and your stomach
will take care of itself. But who takes
care of such trivial things9 That is
why, someday, the majority of people
have to take care of the stomach. When
that day comes, there is no aid 50 effec-
tive in undoing the results of past care
lessness as DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. It strengthens the stomach,
and restores the organs of digestion and
nutrition to a condition of healthy ac-
tivity. It cures biliousness, heartburn,
datu1ence, indigestion, palpitation. dlz-
illness, cold extremities, and g score of
other ailments which are but the symp-
toms of disorder in the stomach and its
allied organs
