horse and buggy, but were SO holly
pursued that they abandoned it after

GREAT BRITAIN WORRIED
Renewed Activity of Beers Causes
Some Serious Criticism,

London, Sept. 23.-While Mr.. Kru-
ger and DR.. Leyds are drawing up
petitions to President Roosevelt and
the czar, asking them to intervene,
the fighting beers are helping them
selves In South Africa by celebrat-
ing the expiration of the period in
which Lord Kitchener proclaimed
they must surrender by four notable
successes, killing 6S officers and men,
wounding 60, and capturing five
guns and 300 men.
The situation is singularly like tho
opening of the war, two years ago,
the names of the same places recur-
ring in the dispatches. Utrecht,
where Major Cough was entrapped,
was the scene of a similar ambus-
cade thirteen months back. Acton
Homes, where the Beers reappeared
Friday, is eighteen miles southwest
of Ladysmith, prominent in the ear
ly hostilities, and the Natal colonists
are mastering for the defense of the
Tugale, as when General Joubert in
vaded Natal in 1899.
In Cape Colony fighting is again
going ON south of Stormberg, in ter
ritory traversed by raiders and their
pursuers half dozen tunes.
The governments publication OF
these reverses causes an outburst of
evaporation against the conduct of
the war. not in South Africa, but
by the ministry. The great minis
terial journals accuse the govern
ment of trying to run the war ION
the cheap" by not providing Lord
Kitchener with sufficient resources.
The Times, while it has no misgiv-
ings as to the final issue, accuses
the home authorities of lack of or
gained, sustained effort, of DISPOSE
ton to postpone military for finan-
cial considerations and of failure
to grasp the moral and intellectual
damage which the prolongation OF
the damage inflict son the empire.
The other ministerial supporters
aver that precious months which
should have been spent in preparing
for another campaign, We're wasted
in electioneering, and that Lord
Kitchener has not been supplied with
the requisites.
The Hague, Sept. 23.-Baron Van
Lynder, the minister of foreign af-

bring up the appeal for consideration

g. T. OFFICER ARRESTED.
He Had Been Indicted In Council Bluffs
for Fraudulent Banking.

Council Bluffs, Sept. 24.-Among
the indictments returned by the dis
trict court grand jury of Pottawat-
tamie county was one charging
Charles L. Officer with fraudulent
banking. The bench warrant was
served at Mr.. officers home. He ac-
comPanied the deputy sheriff to the
home OF his mother, Mrs. Thomas
Officer, who signed his bond for S., 900
and he was released to appear fog
trial later in the term.
The firm of Officer & Pusey was in
business in Council Bluffs from 1887
until about a year ago. Thomas
Officer, the senior partner, was taken
III in Colorado and died there. His
son, Charles L. Officer, upon his dy-
ing fathers request, and as admin.
istrator of the estate, asked for the
appointments for the bank. John
Beresheim and L. F. Murphy were
appointment of receivers for the
bank. John Beresheim and L. r. Muir
ply were appointed Sept. 1, 1900, and
at once took charge. The surviving
time the receivers We're appointed
and was adjudged insane and com
mitted to the Clarinda hospital Oc-
tober 10 last. He died there Novem-
Der Is.
The first report of the receiver
showed assets of $566,s72; liabilities,
$624,45s. A large number of deposit
tors were dissatisfied and employed
experts to go through the books.
The report of the experts made
January II last to the court indicat-
ed over 100000 of worthless assets
and a total insolvency of $271, 1000 on
September II, 1900. His figures
showed that the bank had been prac-
tically insolvent since 1888.
Charles T. Officer is the only sur
viving member of the banking firm
against whom such charge could
be brought.
He declares his arrest is the result
of spite work on the part of those
who went before the grand jury.

Party of Lovatt's Scouts.

Party of Lovatt's Scouts.
London, Sept. 24.-The war office
has received the following dispatch
from Lord Kitchener, dated Pretoria,
September 70:
'Kritzinger, while endeavoring TIC
force passage of the Orange river
near Herschell at o'clock Friday
morning rushed the camp of party
OF Loyatt's Scouts. He failed tic
cross the river, but the scouts lost
heavily. Lieutenant Colonel the Hon.
Andrew and Captain Murray, his adj
jutant, were killed. Deeply regret
the loss of Colonel Murray who
throughout the war had led Lovatt's
Scouts with reat gallantry.
Under cover OF darkness the Beers
managed to carry off gun. They
We're promptly followed up, and the
gun was recovered in smart engage
ment, in which Kritzinger lost two
killed and twenty taken prisoners"
Lord Kitchener also reports that
the British captured by the Beers in
the ambush near Scheeper's Mex
Sept. II have been releasd, and that
the British casualties in the recent
Vlakfontein engagement, when the
Beers captured a company of mount
ed infantry and two guns, were one
officer and five men killed, twenty
three men wounded and six officers
and 100 men taken prisoners. He an
nounces that these prisoners have
since been released.
He further reports the capture of
two COMMUNICATIVE consisting of
fifty-five men under Commander
Kochs, who were taken, together with
their entire transport, west of Alden
burg, and the other consisting of
fifty-four men, including P. ]. Botha,
who were taken with forty-eight
wagons and their belongings forty
five miles southeast of Carolina.

SUIT OVER SALARY GRAB.
An Interesting Test Case Is Started at
Nm

Dubuque.
Dubuque, Sept. a4.-George B. AL
brecht has brought suit against the
city of Dubuque, claiming $500 and
interest from April Z, 1898, as the ball
ance due him for his services as al
derman for two. years. This is ex-
pected to be the test case and papers
have been prepared for several sim
liar suits to be filed during the COM
ing week.
In 1895 the council enacted the ia
nous 'salary graz ordinance, in
which the aldermanic salary was
fixed at $500 per annum. Several al
derman We're indicted and the case
went to the supreme court That
body in deciding the case distinctly
announced that the council had the
right to fix the salary for the fol-
lowing terms and his will probably
be he law to be followed in the AL
brecht case. Several thousand dol
lars are involved in the question sub
mitted.
While awaiting the decision of the
supreme court, the alderman elected
in 1896 and 1897 voted themselves
only $500 per annum "on account"
and the present suit is for the bal,
ance of 5000 a year.

state VS.. John slavin, charged with
the murder of doc" Daugherty, re.

STATE ASKS A REnEAR1Na.

In Osteopathic Case the State Files an
Answer to Adverse Decision.
Des Moines, Sept. 23.-The state
board of medical examiners has
filed its answer to the petition of
c. L. Parsons, graduate of the S. s..
Still College of Osteopathy, who de-
manded a certificate from the board.
This follows defeat for the board
or demurrer. The answer is baseu
practically on two points. 1t is held
by the board that an examination
of the Still college was made and it
was found not to be a regularly
conducted college of osteopathy."
The board holds that the law gives
it full authority to judge concerning
this point, and it's decision must be
taken as fnality. Yet it provided
regulations for regularly conduct
ed" schools, and they are observed
by Still college. 1t is further con-
tended that the law which authorizes
the board to grant certificates to
graduates of colleges of osteopathy
is unconstitutional in that it creates
a privileged class. The general law
governing the granting of certificates
to physicians requires that all ap-
plicants must have completed four
full courses of twenty-siX weeks in a
reputable medical college, and no
two of these terms may be taken
the same year. The board holds that
it would be unconstitutional to
grant certificates to graduates of a
college of osteopathy which did not
have a course of this length. Still
college claims to do it. This case
will come up this term of court, and
its outcome WA be awaited with
great interest. c. L. Parsons com.
menced the suit last winter, and it
is test case, in that if he succeeds
in forcing the board to grant him
certificate upon the application
which he has on file. all graduates
of Still college will have the same
privilege
