LIQUOR ANARCHISTS.

'sThese fellows who are breaking the
liquor laws should be classified as anarch-

FEW MEN ENLIST.
Kitchener's Call For $4,000
Troops Gets Slow Response.

New York, Sept 30.-Explanatory of
the enlistment problem the London cor
respondent of the Tribune says:
The re-enlistment of the imperial yeO-
menry is not proceeding at a rate to suit
the military authorities. Very few
sound men are forthcoming and it is
doubtful whether the order will have
any real effect. Numbers of unfit men
have offered to rejoin, but as Lord
Kitchener does not want them the war
office has to refuse them. During the
last IA days only 100 men have been re-
enlisted. The men Of the old yeOmanry
do not think the terms, five Shillings
a day, good enough as there is no sep
arate allowance for families. Medically
unfit yeomanry have been arriving in
shoals from South Africa, every trans
port bringing some home. Out of 10000
men over 200 have been sent back as
useless. No doubt when she parties re
sponsib1e for passing these men are
found censure will be very severe.
There seems to be no doubt that Lord
Kitchener has requested $4,000 more
mounted men and larger powers for
dealing with the Beers in the field. All
sorts of rumors are in circulation. and
it is even said that the king summoned
a meeting of the cabin ct to consider the
question of Lord Kitchener's PROPOSE
ton and that he closely questioned Mr..
Broderick in regard to recruiting which
has fallen off so much of late. All that
is known definitely is that the British
commander is eager to bring hostilities
to an end as quickly as possible.

TRANSYAAL SITUATION.
Sir Charles Warren Discusses the
British Mistakes.

New York. Sept. Embarrassing the

pumped from one pool to the next be
low The same means was resorted to
four years ago. OF course some of the
farmers along the river are kicking.
The city paid one farmer $50. to be per-
mitted to place an engine or ditch the
stream on his farm.
The investigation of the stock yard
we'll which the city figured on, proved
fruitless. A committee went to confer
with the Santa Fe people the other day
and the manager OF the stock yards
said it was useless to test the six-foot
well, for he pumped it dry threee times
last Monday watering 600 head of cat
tle.and had to wait each time two hours
for it to fill again The Wright well is
in the same vicinity and If test on it
gives no better results than did the
Santa F'e well. the city will either have
to use the Cottonwood river or whistle
for water.

SUTTON IS READY.
Revenue Collector Expects to Soon
Know His Successor.

Mike Sutton is ready to move out of
the internal revenue Office at short no
tice. He expects, since Tracy has been
turned down, that Senator Burton will
go ahead with the appointment of
Simpson to show that he can really get
a. man appointed. When asked WEest he
thought the rejection of Tracy for dis
trict attorney augured, Sutton said to a
Kansas City reporter that he guessed
1t meant that there will now be a rush
for his place as Burton will have to
make a showing of some kind at once.

mend for your placer" was asked him
Tim Simpson, and I don't suppose
there will be any objection by the pres
ident to his appointment

MAJ. ANDERsON's BLANKS.
They Will Be Used by Department of
Agriculture.

Major T. J. Anderson, statistical
agent for the department of agriculture
at Washington, has adopted a new
form of blank The idea for the blanks
was entirely original and Special
Agent Thomas b. Baldwin who was in
Topeka last week. has expressed him
self as well pleased with it, and will
recommend its adoption by the depart
ment and its ultimate use by all the
agents Of the department
the reports made to the state statis
tician by the agents in each county.
In Kansas there are over 800 agents,
and quite q number do not report
promptly, and some have entirely
stopped. The blanks contemplate the
keeping of a record of the number of
reports received from each agent, and
when he fails to make the required re-
ports during several consecutive
months, the record Will clearly show it
and his name will be dropped from the
list and another substituted. The
blanks viii prove more valuable in
states where the number of agents
making monthly reports exceeds 500.

of the British soldiers and the absence
of regulations defining the duties and
functions of the general officers In their

Sir Charles Warren, probably speak
ing from personal experience, points
out that the keeping of an officer sec

hooks four years may so sap his char
acter of the most essential qualities for

comes be of less value when selected
for command than he would have been
