British Terms
to the Beers.

The prime difference between Gen.
Botha and Lord Kitchener came out
at the very outset OF their negotia-
tlons. Botha declared that it was
doubtful if the Bocrs would submit
without all Acknowledgement of their
independence, since they were in Il
condition to continue the war for
some time longer. But independence
was a subject that Kitchener and his
government refused TO discuss. The
British stick to Lord Salisbury's de
claration that ''no shred of indepen-
;,ence" shall remain.
Under the circumstances, Gen.
Botlla had nothing to do but to de-
cline the British terms, especially as
they were not satisfactory in several
minor respects The Boer leaders
are certainly justified in holding out
for amnesty, for the dutch ''rebels" of
Cape Colony who joined them be-
cause of Yery natural race sympathy.
Some of the conditions offered are
generous and praiseworthy, such as
those which would aid the Boer
farmers to start anew, and which
would take over the debts of the re-
publics, contracted during the war, to
the extent of s5,000,000. There is
no particular generosity, however, in
conceding the official use of the Dutch
language, since that is already ofilci-
ally in use in Cape Colony. The
Chamberlain terms in brief, mean the
absolute destruction of the Boer
nation, and the penalty 10 be paid by
England for that crime ought to be Mt
least several hundreds of millions of
dollars higher than it would be il the
war should end to-day.
Gen. Eothas refusal of the con-
ditions is rather encouraging for the
cause. since il indicates t.iat the
Beers do not regard themselves by
any means as crushed. " this mo-
ment 1t is OF interest to recall that
the war has been in progress almost

The Outcasts.
A TALE Of THE NORTHWEST.

Mr.. ". A. Fraser, author of Moos.
wa and Others, has just written for
early publication in The Saturday
Evening Post a short, stirring serial,
entitled The Outcasts.
The outcasts are an old buffalo
and wolf-dog, and the greater part
OF the story is about the strange
comradeship and striking adventures
of these companions, and their pill
grimage, in company, to. the distant
plains of deep graas, of which the
wolf-dog knew.
There are action, and strength OF
word and phrase in the story, and
the touch of the soil and the music
and charm and sombreness of the
forest. The rush of the frenzied buf
falo herd to death is told with splen
did dramatic power. The plan OF
the book is unique conception, and
is worked out on novel and enter
tainlng lines.

Legislation L For Labor.

The legislature has passed nun.
Der of labor bills, among which -four
are prominent. The four are:
The oight-hour bull
The employers liability bill.
The semi-monthly pay day bill.
The coal screening bill
The eight.hour bill provides for a
constitutional amendment for an
eighthou- day in underground mines,
smelters, etc.
The employers liability bill gives
an employe right to sue for dam
ages heretofore unjustly denied him
merely because he was an employe.
The bill removes an unfair disability
placed upon workers and does no i'll
justice to the employer, because the
employe cannot collect damages un-
less he can show that he is entitled to
them.
The semi-monthly pay day requires
the big coal companies to pay their
men at least every two weeks, instead
of holding back their wages for six
or eight weeks. In practical opera
ton the bill is intended to strike at
the company store scrip system. AT
present coal miners, rs u rule, must
take scrip or starve to death, as they
can't wait six or eight weeks for their
paw.
The coal screening bill requires
that coal shall he weighed at the
nine before it is screened, so that the
men may be paid for what they mine,
instead of being ie9eauded out of 50
or 40 per cent of it.
Those four bills are due TO the
united gl!ver parties acting in caucus
agreement. In no previous lcgisla-
ture WAS it possible to get such bills
through, and the toilers of the state
eve a large debt to the assembly
which has just completed its record.
The courageous action Of the legis-
lature will not be without its effect on
the vote cast for the Democratic tick
ct in Denver to-day, for labor is not
ungratcful.-Rocky Mountain News.

1 w hat has been SAID Is not, OF
course, a complete history Of the gen
esis of oil or of the characteristics Of
strata. No article could fully deal
with such an ample subject But
the facts stated will be of use to the
| prospector who desires to pursue his
search intelliyently. OF more gen
eral interest, perhaps, will be some
hints concerning surface indications.
These consist of seepsges, fuma-
rolos, leached shales, red shales,
black shales si;iciticd, natural gas,
traces of mineral springs cracks in
which bitumen occurs, etc
Exposed bitumens are black and
brown. They can be distinguished
by their oder and taste. They melt
in the flame of match and they
readily dissolve in chloroform, tur-
pentine or bisulphIde of carbon, form
ing Il black or brown solution. Gas
escaping is not always Il certain indi-
cation of petroleum, but carburetted
hydrogen is much surer indication
than sulphuretted hydrogen or car
bonic acid gas. The prospector
should know how to distinguish be-
tween these. Carburetted hydrogen
burns with a yellow flame; sulphur
cited hydrogen with a hluish flame, to
test it; if sulphuretted hydrogen,
the acetate of lead paper and blue
litmus paper may be exposed to the
gas to test it. If sulphuretter dydro-
gen, the acetate of lead paper will
turn brown; II carbonic acid gas, the
blue litmus paper will turn red. The
prospcctor should know how to make
these simple tests.
In examining strata, the prospec-
tor should search in gulcheg, canyons,
and along the banks of streams, for
here he will tind the best exposures.
The surface should be examined, and
any black or brown substances found
should be tested to see il they are
bituminous.
More frequently than not oil de-
posits are ovcrlaid with lenched
shales and sandstoncs. These are,
therefore, to an extent good surface
indications. Mineral Springs are al.
ways found in company with petrol
cum deposits. The dip of exposed
strata and the depth to which Il well
must be bored, can be easily ascer-
tanned by the oinomeIer The strike
of an anticlire may be followed for Il
long distance, and justify boring e"en
in territory that shows no surface
indications Of oil.-P. w. Francis, in

"This is Not a Republic
KING EDWARD VII.

When King Edward in discussing
the other day the question of clothes
at imperial functions, made the sneer-
ing remark, "This is no republic, !"
there flashed out the old autocratic
spirit OF the Third George, whose for
tunate incapacity for governing has,
directly or indirectly, resulted in max
inc more than half the nations of the
world republican. If Edwards ne
phew, the very absurd kaiser, had
given expression to the sentiment, no
one would have been surprised, for
on almost every occasion that he has
spoken since his accession to the
throne of the great German empire,
he has asserted the divine right of
making himself grotesquely ridicu-
lous. Coming from the mature and
fast aging imperial uncle, the idea
jars. Tie world gave King Edward
credit for the possession Of very
great tact, Il certain saving common
sense, and 1t has had a kindly leaning
towards him because it believed
that, Notwithstanding his environ
ment, he was abreast of his genera
ton. Instead of that, he seems to be
century behind 1t.
"This is not republic" OF
course not. Nine-tenths of the peo-
pie of England are sorrowfully aware
of that fact Therefore, it is they are
ground down under the burden of the
largest of national debts, and that the
annual expenses of the monarchy are
mounting into figures which excite
grave alarm for the solveucy of the
nation. Were England republic it's
people would not be forced TO support
an aristCcratic state church in tEq
doctrines and tcncts of which the
great majority of them do not believe.
Were she q republic it would be i'm
possible for the few to rerel in luxury
at the expense of many; to maintain
in the twentieth century the absurdity
of an hereditary body Of Legislators

"This is not republic" No; but
when England was a republic, under
Oliver Cromwell, she swayed the coun-
ellis of all the cabinets of Europe.
No King that ever sat on the English
throne was more feared by the SOW
ereigns of Europe than was the stern
Puritan leader. Under his rule Eng
land first became supreme on the
ocean, and the slightest aggression
upon the rights of Englishmen in the
remotest part Of the earth was an
swered with fierce reprisal. Is Eng

'This is no republic" Well indeed
for the England of today had she
been republic when the American
colonies, in the last quarter of the
eighteenth century, declared their
independence of the most incompe-
tent of monarchies. The stupid per-
versity of George Ill. cost England
the loss of the most extensive terri
tory of which any nation in all
history has been deprived. The
revolutionary fathers did not desire
total separation from England. They
were eager to make every reasonable
concession in the interest of union,
but all their overtures were spurned,
and at last came the terrific indict-
ment Of the foolish monarch in the
declaration Of independence and the
end of British rule in the colonies.

and robbed by Thugs.
Newton. Sept. l3.-Dr. Benjamin
N. Failor. one OF the Oldest practlc-
Ing physicians OF this city, was bru-
tally murdered ut midnight while re-
turning from d professional call, at
9m. uraham's on Race street. Or.
Failor was visiting pleasantly with
his daughter, Mrs. Grandstatf, who
with her children came a short tlmr
ago from Burlington for visit at
nome. About II o'clock call came
to 90 to n house near the Rock Is
lnnJ. aepnrC and it being but few
blocks distant the doctor walked to
the place OF his visit. He had com
pleted his call and had just left the
house when in passing the Jasper
lumber yard. a dark and lonely place
at the corner of Race and North
streets, it is supposed he was at
tackled by thugs and sandbagged with
robbery as the motive. The doctor
was discovered in an unconscious con-
iition by u passerby about an hour
after the assault and carried into
d. NJ Wert's house. 1t was seen that
the doctor had been struck about the
head and over the eyes, the skull be-
ing FRACTURED. Ills SiotlliS was usio
iy torn and his watch gone. One
pocket of his trousers was torn out.
He was unconscious and could tell
nothing of the assault. He was re-
moved to his home, where he died at
5 o'clock a. m. in terrible agony,
there being a hole in his head that
seemed to cause terrible pain. Drs.
Engle, Smead and Robb, who We're
called, are of the opinion that the
doctor was struck with a club which,
perhaps, had a nail in it. The police
as yet have no clue but several col
ored men have been arrested as sus-
poets. DR.. Failor was rs years of age
and highly respected, having prac-
ticed here for many years.
