Pretoria, Saturday, March 81 greatly
regret to have to send you bad news OF
Methuen. He was moving with 900 mount
ed men, under Maj. Paris, and SOO infantry,
four guns and a pompom, from Wynburg
to Lichtenburg, and was to meet Grentell,
with 1900 mounted men at Roviralnesfon-

In at Mariboga and Kraaipan. They We're
pursued by the Beers four miles from the
scene of action. They report that Meth

etc, were captured by the Beers. Methuen,
when last seen, was prisoner. l have no
details Of the casualties, and suggest delay

forcements could reach them the rear
guard broke. In the meantime a large
number of Beers galloped up on both
TANKS. These at first were checked by the
flank parties. but the panic and stampede
of the mules had begun, and all the mule
wagons, with a terrible mixture Of mount
ed men, rushed past the oX-Wagons. All
efforts to check them were unavajling.
Maj. Paris collected 40 men and occu-
pied a position a mile in front of the OK
wagons. which were then halted. After
gallant but useless defense the enemy
rushed into the ox-wagons and ,Methuen

SENSATION AT GREENWOOD.
Body OF Negro Boy, .ad for Weeks, Un'
der Depot Platform.
TSpecial to The State.

Greenwood, March 1.-The SEN
sation of today is the finding OF a
dead negro boy under the depot
platform of the G. & W. G. R. R.
Some little boys were under the plat
form looking for car seals and found
the body. The floor was taken up
and the gruesome find brought to
light. Although there is an entire
absence of decomposition it is very
evident that the negro has been dead
for weeks. 1t is supposed by some
that he crawled under the platform
during the recent cold we 'ther and
was frozen to death. Others Think
that he must bave come in on 3
freight train aud being sick went
under and died b. fore he could get
out, The coroner's jury has lot
brought in a verdict yet.

A Nebraska drummer tells how a

sermon he said:
"Let all persons in this house who

Instantly every man, woman and
child-with one exception-arose to
their feet. The preacher seated them
and said:
"Now let every person who is not
paying his or her debts stand up.

DRUGGISTS.
81 600 FOR BEING COURTEOUS.
Legacy Left Railroad Conductor by an
Iuquisitlve Passenger.
From the Chicago Tribune.
DRUGGISTS,

From the Chicago Tribune.
Liewellyn Mason, a conductor on
the Chicago and Alton Railroad, can
testify that courtesy sometimes proves
profitable investment for railroad
man. In his early railroad days Mr..
Mason invested in a little of it, and
the investment has paid dividend
of $1,000 IN the shape of legacy
left him by the late W. A. Tyler, of
Bloomington. When the will of the
Bloomington millionaire was pro
bated it was found to contain this
clause:
"To Liewellyn Mason I bequeath
the sum of $1,000 as a recognition OF
the courteous treatment accorded me
while travelling on the Alton Road"
Mr.. Mason is over 80 years of age,
and has been 6 conductor on the
Alton for nearly thirty years. H.
now runs the "silk stocking" subur-
ban train between Chicago and
Joliet, which daily carries the steel
magnates and other wealthy residents
of that suburb.
Mr.. Tyler was exceedingly curious
when travelling and was wont to ask
many questions. In 1888 he hap
pened to take a train upon which
young Mason was the conductor.
The road was then the Great Wes-
tern Railway Of Illinois, and Lewis
Mason's father was the operating
head of the road. Mr.. Tyler then
lived in Jacksonville, and Mason
spent all of his spare time on the
run to Chicago in talking to him.
Three or four times each year
Mason carried the rich man between
Jacksonville and Chicago, and later
between Bloomington and Chicago
and he never once tired of the old
mans q uestions.
"Mr. Tyler made his last trip with
me four years ago, and had almost
passed from my mind" said Mason.

GET STRONG.
Weakness and Ill Health
Overcome by Vinol.
We n ave See N
Lots Of Proof Of
This.

You will agree with US that there is
nothing much worse than feeling OF
weakness or lassitude. There is no need
of our telling you thatwhen one feels this
vav. it is SYMPTOM of a disordered con-
dition of the system.
We would like to tell everyone in this
city how to get strong take Vlnol on
our guarantee.
Vinol is not patent medicine. Every
ching contained in it is printed on the
label of each bottle. 1t does invigorate,
create flesh when flesh is needed, and
makes rich red blood. Vinol cannot DO
harm because it contains only the in
vredients that are needed to accomplish
GOOD. namely, the active curative
medicinal principles found in the liver OF
the live cod. Vinol differs from cod liver
oil inasmuch as none of the grease that
tastes so badly and acts 80 detrtmentally
on the digestive organs is found in 1T.
We have reason from what we have
seen and heard to endorse Vinol as we
do. for we know what 1t has done IN
many cases where the patient has been
run down and debilitated and where the
most wonderful results have been accom-
plished by its use.
We also feel sure that many people
have taken Vinol who were on the verge
of a severe attack of sickness, and instead
of suffering further pain and misery were
Quickly restored to health. Here is one
of many letters endorsing Vinol: :,
GAS strengthening tonic, ! will giaoly
cav that Vinol is the best medicine ever
have taken or heard of. We have used
it in our family as a strength producer
with the best possible results" Mrs
JAMES ANDERSON, Mansfield, Ohio. :,
It is because we have had SO mucn
proof of what Vinol really does. and
because we know that everybody
who tries vinoE quickly learns that 1t
is delicious, that we unhesltatinsly
endorse It, and agree Mt all times to
refund to anyone the price they pay
for Vlnol If they do not find 1t abso'
luteIy satisfactory.

Punch took up the affair and one
of it's bright writers composed an
epic on the great fight, beginning:
"Sing, O goddess, the wrath, the on
tamable dander of Keitt-
Keitt, of South Carolina, the clear grit,
the tail, the ondaunted-
Him that hath wopped his own nlggers
till Northerners all unto Kilt
Seem but as niggers to wop, and hill al
the smallest potatoes"
Getting into the description of the
battle the epic continues:
".Come out, Crow Keitt cried, you
Black Republican puppy:
Come out on the floor like a man, and
darn my eyes but I'll show you
Him answered straight-hitting Grow
'Waal, now, calkilate, Keitt.
No nigger driver shall leave his plan
tation in South Carolina
Here to crack his cowhide round his
child's ears if he knows it
Scarce had he spoken when the hand,
the chivalrous five fingers OF
KeitU,
Clutched at his throat-had they closed,
the speeches of Grow had been
ended;
AS drops hammer on anvil, 50 dropped
Crows right into Keitt
Just where the jugular runs to the
point at which Keitt ties his
dropknot-
Prone like a log sank Keitt; his dollars
ratified about him"
Then came the Southern friends
to the rescue, gathering round Grow
"catswampously up as to chaw him."
All this time the Speakers gavel
was pounding the desk, and the SER
geant alarms with his mace was try
ing to get into the fight and separate
the combatants Finally order was
restored, but not until every one had
hsd his share of the battle.
Afterward Keitt apologized, taking
the blame upon himself, and Grow
also made his explanation, saying
what he thought he should have said.
But the spectacle must have appealed
to the humorous side Of the mem
bers when they thought it over, how,
ever long 1t took for the breach to
heal.
