MOTHER AND DAUGHTER.
The Wife and M0ther-in-Lavv of Mr..
Charles Keys.

Clarissa, Mimi, April Is Especially.
No family in this vicinity is better
known or more universally respected
than Mr.. Charles Keys, the local School
Teacher, and his estimable wife, and
mother-in-law. For a long time, Mrs.
Keys has been in i'll health. Recently,
however, she has found cure for her
ailments in Dodd's Kidney Pills.
II cannot speak too highly of Dodd's
Kidney Pills, or of what they have done
for me-" said Mrs. Keys.
my life was miserable, my back al
ways ached, also my head. Twas troub-
led with Neuralgia in the head and face
and suffered extreme pain, but thanks
to podd's Kidney Pills, all those aches
and pains have vanished like the morn
ing dew, and it now seems that life is
worth living. I consider DoGd's Kid
ney Pills God-send to suffering hui
manity. They may rightly be named
the Elixir of Youth.
"While speaking of my own case and
the wonderful benefit have received,
might also add, that my mother, who
is now an old lady of ~ years and who
lives with me, has been troubled more
or less with aches and pains, as is nat
ural with one of her advanced age.
When she saw what Dodd's Kidney
Pills had done for me, she commenced
to use them herself, and she says that
they have done her more good than
any other medicine she has ever tried.
"This testimony is given in the hope
that others who may be afflicted as we
were, may see and read it, and be bene-
flied by it."
What Mrs. Keys states in her letter
can be verified by reference to any of
her many friends in this neighborhood.
Dodd's Kidney Pills have already a
wonderful reputation in Todd County.
Nothing has ever cured Bright's Dis
ease, Diabetes or Dropsy but Dodd's
Kidney Pills.

The fire losses for the first three
months of this year reach the appall-
ing total of $40 ,e6e,2oo, or at therate
of almost 5000, 100000 for the year
enough to construct an isthmian canal.
In round numbers, this is an excess of
$s,ooo,o00 over the first quarter of last
year, $9,ooo,ooo over that of the year
before, while it distances the record of
the same, period of 1898 by over $780,
100000. A glance at the list of places
that have contributed to this record
discloses the fact that the distribution
of loss has been pretty general, and
indicates carelessness.

Capt. John "A. Hassell, who COM
manded the American scouts in the
Boer army in the first part of the
war, but is now here. says =. 49, J
1.-The Boer cause, while 1t cannot be said
to he bright, is brighter than THAI of the
British. The Beers have just as good a
chance to win now as the Americans had
before the sudden turn of good luck which
resulted in the surrender of CORVALLIS.
1.-THE winter season has just begun in
South Africa. and from now until Septem-
Der the British soldiers will have a hard
time.
1.-The Beers are making their winter quar-
tiers In the Lydenburg range, where the Eng
lish will not dare tackle them, Tor they
would have to cross the low, marshy coun-
try to get there and they have to import
every pound Of fodder for their horses
The problem is not only one of sustaining
the lives Of their men in the marshy veldt,
where chills and marsh fever wind up in
deadly pneumonia, but 1t is a problem of
sustaining horsefiesh.
Il lived Is years in South Africa and know
all the country better than any Boer did be-
lore the war broke out. my business, that
OF engineer, carrying me over all of 1t.
1T is hard for the Beers to get recruits,
80
cruits, and valuable ones, are getting in
every day.: For every Boer killed by the
English nowadays half a dozen recruits
straggle in from this, country and else
where. IL -
The Beers do not propose to fight any
dig, pitched battle a. present. They will
simply worry the enemy everywhere they
can, and about August and September you
may look for a resumption Of general &C
tlon> on a large scale" 3
London, April 16.-It is said: that a
private telegram has been received
here to the effect that Gen. French,
with 500 British troops, has been cap
tured by the Beers while his force
was enveloped in INST on the hills.
The war office here knows nothing
about the rumored capture of Gen.
French and entirely discredits the re.
port.
Bloemfontein, April 15.--It is re-
ported that the health of former
President steyn has broken down. 1t

decision I'm the Case Brought ut New
Orleans to Prevent Shipment of
Mules to South Africa,

New Orleans, April 15.-Judge Par
LANCE in the United States superior
court Saturday handed down de-
cision dismissing the suit brought by
the Boer representatives here to
prevent the shipment of mules and
horses out of New Orleans to the
British army in South Africa. The
decision is lengthy one.
Judge Parlange holds that the
transactions between citizens of the
United States and the British gov
eminent were conducted under the
order of private citizenship and that
the courts had absolutely no juris-
diction to interfere. The horses and
mules, the court said, were bought
in neutral territory.
