TRAN VAAL WAR ITEMS.

The brief report of the fate of three
members of the British peace commit
tee, who were sent to see Gen. Dewet,
sides. One or two papers expressed a
hope that Lord Kitchener has been
misled by false Kafiir reports; but it is
generally felt that he would not have
reported the matter to the war Office
without undoubted evidence. All the
London papers say Dewet has placed
himself beyond the pale of humanity,
and the government is urged to send
reinforcements.
1t is understood that Lord Kitchener
now securely holds all the railroad
lines in South Africa, having recovered
possession of the Delagoa bay line
which had been cut Jan. 2. Accord
ing to Pretoria correspondent Lord
Kitchener is now organizing force of
10000 irregular horse, which will oc-
eupy some weeks. When this force is
ready, he will resume offensive oper-
ations.
The official list of the British casu.
alties in the recent fighting at Belfast
shows 30 killed, SO wounded and 72
missing This does not account for the
British losses at other points of stimuli
taneous attacks by the Beers, namely
Wonderfonteiny Nooitgdacht and Wild
fon tein, and shows, that affairs in that
quarter were more serious than Lord
Kitchener reported them to be.
Gen. Kitchener sends news of q seri-
Gus simultaneous attack on the night
of the z by the republicans on the Brit
ish positions between points 60 miles
apart, along the lines of the Pretoria
and Lorenzo Marquee railway. The
losses on both sides were heavy. Ac-
cording to reports the Beers were
beaten off after prolonged fighting.
The Beers have reached Sutherland
and are within 90 miles of the village
of Piquetberg. The country around
Kimberley is being cleared of people,
live stock and food stuffs. ALI resi-
dents of Vryburg who are unable to
supply themselves with provisions for
two months must be taken south.
Earl Roberts has been closely occu-
pied at the war Office, and it is believed
that reinforcements will be ordered on
large scale for the moral effect in
convincing Kruger and the Beers in
the field that resistance is futile, and
that Lord Kitchener's overtures should
be accepted.

LIEUT.. MABEL C. HUNT.
n Bright Salvation Army Lassie, Whe
Knows How to Keep Her Corps
In Good Health.


Ogden, Utah, Jan. IL, l901.-(Spe-
cial. 1.-The Pacific Coast Division Of
the Salvation Army, whose noble work
in the interests Of fallen humanity has
done so much for this western country,
has its headquarters in this city. One
of the brightest and most enthusiastic
workers is Lieut.. Miss Mabel Clarice
Hunt. Everyone knows how these de-
voted people parade the streets day or
night, exposing themselves to all kinds
Of weather, that no opportunity may
be lest of rescuing some poor unfortu-
nate from sin and suffering In some
cases, their recklessness in thus expos
ing themselves has been commented
upon as almost suicidal. Their answer
to such criticisms invariably is their
unfailing faith in the Divine injunc-
ton to do right and fear not" Lieut..
Hunt explains one of the means she
employs to keep her Soldiers" in good
health, as follows:
Il have found Dodd'' Kidney Pills of
great value in cases of ..%c.1ey and
Liver Trouble and Diseases contracted
from severe colds. Several Of our lads
and lassies have been repeatedly ex-
posed to cold weather and rail. and
have spoken for hours out of doors,
often with wet feet and chilled to the
marrow. AS a consequence OF this ex-
posture, Pulmonary Trouble, Rheu-
matism and Kidney Disorders often en-
sue. In such cases l always advise
Dodd's Kidney Pills, for have no
ticed better results, quicker relief, and
more lasting benefit from the use OF
Dodd's Kidney Pills in such cases than
from all other medicines I know Of
combined. They cleanse the blood,
regulate the system and destroy dis
ease"
A medicine which can do what Lieut..
Hunt says so positively Dodd's Kidney
Pills do is surely worth the attention
OF 81! who suffer with any form Of
Kidney Trouble. Rheumatism, or Blood
Disorders.

WANTS ARE NUMEROUS.
State Board of Agriculture Receives
Many Queer Requests.

Some people think they can find out
almost anything pertaining to Kansas
by applying to the state board of agri-
culture. This is true when it has any
thing to do with Kansas farming, but
occasionally a question is presented
which cannot be answered. For in
stance, a man has just written asking
for complete list of all government
lands in the northern half of Kansas.
He says he wants the list to be COM
plete because he is entitled to a home
stead and he wants to take his pick OF
all that may be had He also insists
upon an immediate reply.
OF course the state department of ag
riculture has nothing to do with vacant
government lands and has no list of
them. Such a list could only be OBJ
tanned from the government land offices
and then only after considerable work
in looking up the vacant lands in west
ern Kansas.
