BRITISH WAR POLICY FAILS.
War Office Deeply ChaErined Over
BOtha's Succcsnes.

War Office Deeply ChnErined Over
BOtha's Succcsnes.
London, Sept. %. - Scare headlines
concerning the Boer war embellish the,
newspapers, and some of them predict
a fresh invasion of Natal. :, They be-
seech the. government to- make extra
ordinary efforts to reverse the current
of military affairs in South Africa.
The utter breakdown of the policy of
threats is generally acknowledged.
The most faithful supporters of the
ministry are beginning to grumble
about the substitution of paper wads
for powder and shotsin dealing with. a
resourceful and implAcable enemy"
The officials of the war office are deep
ly chagrined by the successes of Gen.
Botha in the South, but claim accidents
involving nothing serious. From the
point of view of the British anti-war
party these latest disasters have bad
moral effect and are likely to prove ex-
tremely grave, since they may encour-
age an army of Cape Dutchmen, who
have long wavered on the verge of re-
bellion, to cast off all pretence of loyal
ty and join the burgher forces.

Authentic Statement From His Ply.
sician, DR.. Philip Fox. y,
Madison, Wis, Sept. 10. Gov. La
Toilette is Improving slowly from his
long illness. which has now kept him
confined to the house more than two
months. In view Of misleading reports
which have been spread regarding his
illness. his physician, DR.. Philip Fox,
gave out the following statement:
about the last of June was called
to see Gov. La Toilette and found him
suffering from an attack Of stomach
and liver similar to the severe attacks
he has had since his first severe illness
from Ia grippe in 81 or 80. We hoped
to relieve him within few weeks, but
instead, he developed a marked ca
tarrhal gastritis, which has persistently
continued to be present. and while In
many respects there are improvements
in his general condition, he is still un-
able to take sufficient food to enable
him to exercise, and this makes rest
from arduous work necessary. From
my past experience with former attacks
I feel confident OF his final recovery"

Just how long pensions may con-
tinue illustrated by the fact that there
are still four widows of revolutionary
soldiers on the rolls. According to
the same continuation and considering
the average OF life increasing, this gov
eminent may be paying pensions on
account of the Spanish war as late as
2018. It will not be for any lack OF
applications, which already number
$4,000, of which nearly 1000 have been
granted. And the revolutionary wards
are not the only ones with long lives,
Tor within the past year two widows of
the war of 1872 and 1926 widows Of the
Mexican war were added to the list.

The act Of union between Sweden
and Norway provides that the king
shall spend part of the year in Nor
way. This time has usually been linn
tied. A change in this respect is now
contemplated, and it is proposed con-
stitutionally to compel the king to
spend the same length of time in Nor
way as in Sweden-say in one, two or
three years at time in each country.
It is believed that this measure, If
adopted, will render the monarchy
more popular with the Norwegians,
who are longing to see the throne of
King Haaken and King Sverne rails
ed again on the soil Of Norway.

Grand Forks, N. D., Sept. 10. - The
present year is the banner crop year in
the history Of North Dakota. There
have been years in which there were
greater individual yields, and the ag-
gregate crop of the Red river valley is
probably not as great as it has been on
one or two other occasions. But never
in any other year was there so much
wealth produced from the soil of the
whole state as there has been this year.
Thousands of acres of new land have
been brought under cultivation in the
northern and western parts of the
state, and throughout the. entire state
the crop has been good. In some cases
it has been remarkably SO, and If the
crop can be saved the people will have
more money than they ever had before.
