IrrepressibIe Burshers are Invading New Terri.
tory in Cape Colony.
London, Aug. 31.-Some interesting
sidelights are thrown on the South
African war by advices published to-
day. A dispatch from Cape Town to
the Daily Mail indicates that Scheep-
er's commando has now moved to the
southwest and invaded part of Cape
Colony previously undisturbed by the
Beers, while more severe restrictions
have been imposed with the object of
preventing communication with Cape
Town and the newly disturbed areas.
The Cologne Gazette's correspondent
in Cape Town declares that the entire
territory of Cape Town is "seething
mass of disorder" He asserts also
that the Beers are receiving support
from all sides.
Edgar Wallace, writing to the Daily
Mail, expresses decided opinion that
Lord Kitchener's Punishment proclaim
alton will not result in the surrender
VI Slu6lC mpOIC out COuluh6uU6ut,
and that much severer penalties are
needed, the only useful policy being
vigorous military measures.
In the early part of August CORE
.spondent of the Morning Post had a
long talk with Lord Kitchener, from
which he gathered that "it is not Lord
Kitchener, but the government that is
to blame for many Of the present
evils"
Lord Kitchener. It seems, complain
ed that the home government continu-
ally worried him about trivial details,
merely to reply to parliamentary
heckling."
Both the Morning Post and the
Standard give information as to the
concentration camps, and confirm the
reports Of very heavy mortality there,
especially among the children, in
July. This is said to be largely due
to the ignorance and unsanitary habits
Of the Beers" but conditions are rap
Idly improving. At the beginning OF
August there were 100, 900 persons In
the concentration camps.
A correspondent Of the Morning
Post asserts that the Boer refugees
got Els In rations per head, e.
against E12 per head given to the
British loyalists. and he recommended

able that the Boern Be removed to the

IL AstOnishcd Him.

Standing in front Of Locust street
stable yesterday afternoon was a man
in overalls, pulling bales Of hay up into
the loft with the aid Of rope and pull
ley. He looked the picture Of health.
and the exertiOn was as nothing to him.
Presently along came another man. He
was fat and pudgy-looking. and his
skin had an unhealthy color. His gen.
eral appearance betokened the overfed
club man. He was carefully grOomed,
and was evidently q man of leisure. He
stood for perhaps minute watching
the other man at work, and then he
said: would you mind letting me
take your place for awhile? l am
troubled with Indigestion. and have
been suffering all day. think that
would do me good"
The stableman's eyes seemed ready
to pop out of his head. "Sure," he said;
'sure." The pudgy dyspeptic carefully
removed his gloves and grasped the
rope. 1t was hard work, and 1t made
him very red In the face, but he finally
landed the bale where another man In
the loft could take 1t In. Then he tried
another and another. and kept 1t up for
about ten minutes. When he relin-
quished the rope to the stableman he
slipped coin into the latter's hand,
saying: "Thank you, very much. That
has done me more good than all the
medicine in the world" AS he disap-
peared around the corner the laborer

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

BY local applications, rs they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There Is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by cOnstitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in.
famed condition OF the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets in
famed YOU have a rumblng sound or imper
feet hearing, and when 1t is entirely closed
deafness is the result, and unless the infamma-
ton can be taken out and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out Of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an infiamed
condition OF the mucous surfaces.

NEW STAGE LINE
San Francisco Capitalists Form Company to
Operate in Alaska.

Seattle, Sept. 2.-San Francisco cap
italists, together with Norman r
Smith, the well-known Alaskan, have
undertaken the establishment of q
stage line between Hanna bay, Cook
inlet, st. Michael and Nome. Their
enterprise involves an expenditure ami
investment of about 100000. Seattle
is to be the headquarters of the co..
Germ, which is known as the Trans
alaskan Company. The first shipment
of supplies and materials for the line
was made via the Pacific Packing and
Navigation Company's steamer Excel
sior, Capt. Humphrey, which left Seat.
tie several days ago for Copper river
and Cook inlet.
Horses are to be used in the opera
ton of the stage line-a.. told about
100 head. The total distance is less
than 600 miles. The route from Iii
anna to st. Michael, which, as regards
mail transportation, will be the north
ern terminus, is about 500 miles. AS
outlined by Smith, the route lies from
Hanna bay to Hanna lake, thence
over the ice across that large body of
water and across the Alaskan noun
tains by a pass, the maximum eleva-
ton being but 900 feet; across the
mouth of Clark lake to junction of
the Malchatna and Tickchick rivers;
over the mountain plateau dividing
the Bristol bay and Kuskokwim sec
tons, this rugged height being known
as AniOk range; down the Aniok river
to the Kuskokwim to the Okagamute
river junction, 300 miles up from the
mouth of the KuskOkwim; thence in
a general direction to the Yukon at a
point below Holy Cross mission.
known as Piamute; up the Yukon to

across to st. Michael, 500 miles all
told. To reach Nome the. route fol-

Turning his attention to the wounded
man. the doctor found that he had been
stabbed in the abdomen a little to the
left and just below the navel. Miller.
the proprietor, handed him wicked
looking knife with a four-inch blade
shaped like Bowie knife and stated
that it was the knife that Graman had
done the cutting with. DR.. Schwartz
cleaned and dressed the wound and made
the man as comfortable as possible on
an improvised bed on the floor. telling
Miller that he would have have to be re-
moved to a hospital soon as possible
so he could get proper treatment. The
doctor was unable at the time to tell the
full extent of the injury but is satisfied
that the intestines are badly cut. In
stead of removing the man to the hos
pital Miller allowed him to remain on
the floor and at 10 o'clock this morning
visited the doctor and stated that the
man was still there. He was told that
the only chance to save the mans life
was to have him removed to the hospital
but when he left the office Miller said
that he would not guarantee the expense
of the care.
| When DR.. Schwartz first reached the
saloon he found a big barren bar-room
| with a single light burning in it and no
| fire. 1t was intensely cold and not a fit
| place for a we'll man TO say nothing of
a wounded one. There was one in
the place at the time except Miller and
two women.
Word of the killing was sent to the
sheriff's Office and Deputy Jack Rowe
went down to the scene. He tried to get
al the facts in the case but was unsuc-
! cessful. Word was not received by the
coroner until nearly 6 o'clock and after
| he had viewed the dead body and taken
| in the surroundings he had the body re-
moved to Duggan's undertaking parlors
| where a closer examination showed that
| the statement of DR.. Schwartz in regard
to the injuries was correct. There were
no marks except on the head and face.

went on Wild search for witnesses. He
says that Miller told him that the
patrons of the saloon had been fighting

and Valent got into a row. the former

proceedings Frank Fraley stepped be-

ARRESTED ON A
SERIOUS CHARGE
II. C. CRAWLING, A WELL KNOWN
BARBER, AND HIS WIFE ARE
UNDER ARREST.

Mr.. and Mrs Henry G. Granting were
arrested by Sheriff Furey last night and
placed in the county Jail on charge OF
hurglarizing the summer home of Charles
w Clark on the flats.
According to the story told by eye
witnesses, Mr.. and Mrs. Granting were
driving in the direction of the Nine
Mile house and, upon reaching the sum-
mer residence of Mr.. Clark, stopped to
admire it's furnishings. The doors We're
unlocked and the couple, after looking
over the house, it is alleged, became
coyetous and concluded to acquire some
of the furniture.
They returned to the city and, securing
a light wagon, returned to Mr.. Clark
house and loaded up with wivers articles
of furniture. They took a Quarter-saw-
ed oak dining table with beautifully
carved legs an oak dresser, fine pair
of elk heads and anumber Of smaller ar
ticles All this was done in a leisurely
manner and then the couple started on
the return trip to Butte. Their actions
had been observed by a man who fol-
lowed the wagon.
Mr. and Mrs. Granting had proceeded
but a short distance when they discov-
cred that they We're being followed and
they concluded to get rid Of their load
Of stolen furniture. When near the race
track they dumped the furniture on the
ground and in their hurry did not use
the same care they did when loading the
wagon. The table was broken and
scratched and the elk heads were badly
damaged. After disposing Of the load
Mr.. and Mrs. Granting made all haste to
get out of the vicinity.
