BOer and BritOn.

The gallant struggle which the
South African Republic and its CO.
ajutor, the Orange Free States, have
made for liberty and independence has
come to an end, and has practically
resulted in victory for the handful
of brave men that have for two years
and eight months resisted the whole
might of one of the greatest empires
that has ever existed upon the earth.
The statement that the Beers have,
in large measure, succeeded, will sur
prise people who are unacquainted
with the past relations of this out of
the way people to the British Empire.
The REGISTER promised some time
ago to give It's readers a brief account
of this people that have for nearly
three years occupied so large space
in the public eye. Now that the war
is over and its events have be-
come history, it deems it fitting
time to redeem its pledge.
In the middle of the seventeenth
century the Netherlands were a great
power in the commercial world. The
Dutch East India Company was one OF
the greatest of those mercantile asso-
Citations that controlled the commerce
of the Orient at that time. Hollands
fleets of merchantmen followed the
broad sea path around the southern
end OF Africa and across the Indian
ocean, until they reached the aromatic
groves of Java, Sumatra and the Spice
Islands. In order to facilitate trade
with these far away lands they estab-
lished small colony of their country
men at the Cape of Good Hope, for the
purpose Of supplying passing mer-
chantmen with fresh vegetables and
other necessaries.
This Insignificant Dutch colony
slowly but surely took root amid the
inhospitable surroundings of the Cape
OF Storms-the old name for the Cape
of Good Hope-until in 1906 it became
a dependency of the British Empire.
For time Boer and Englishman lived
peaceably together. Both united tc
resist the despotic government OF Lord
Charles Somerset; both united to gair
freedom of press and speech. In 1888
these pleasant relations were broker
by the proclamation for the emanci
patton OF the slaves in the colonies O.
Great Britain. There was some stipu
lations about payment for slaves which
were never carried into effect. Tht
Beers at once resolved to treke, Oh
move, into the wilderness and estab
| lish for themselves new home, where
they could live out their own lives IL
their own way.
The English government endeavore(
fruitlessly to prevent this wholesale
abandonment OF farms, which woul(
be a distinct set back to the prosperit,
OF the colony. She informed the
Beers that they were English subjects
and wherever they might go the British
flag would 60 with them. They re
piled that they were Dutchmen ant
not Englishmen; that Holland nigh
cede her lands to England, but sht
could not give away her citizens. 81
with their wives and little ones, thei
wagons, guns, servants and household
goods, they treked through the un
broken forests to the northeast ant
founded the colony OF Natal. Here
after they had begun to prosper, they
were followed by English authority
and the British flag was again hoisted
over their land, after some desultory
fighting. Again they treked TO the

A PREACHERS UNDoINe.
Rev. James A. Heath, Who Was in Love
with a Female Stenographer. D smissed
from the Baptist Church.

Kansas City, Mo-, Dec. 31.-Rev.
James A. Heath, who illegally Sc
cured divorce from his wife in New
York in order to marry Kansas City
woman, was deposed from the min
istry and expelled from the Calvary
Baptist church at meeting of the
congregation. The action was unan-
imous after a report made by the
council of eight Baptist preachers
who heard the charges against and
the defense of Rev. Heath. The COM
mittee found that Rev. Heath made
false representations regarding his
wife in order to secure a divorce
which was afterward set aside. Rev.
Heath is also charged with living Gin
undue and improper intimacy" with a
woman typewriter and stenographer
on West Ninth street. She is past 80
years old. Heath's defense before the
council was that he was sin love to
distraction" with the stenographer
and his love carried him too far.

WORLDS SUPPLY OF MONEY.
Entire Stock Aggregates 81, 900, 900.
Increase of About 100 Per Cent.
in Thirty Years.

Washington, Dec. 31.-Only nor
NAL increase in the money supply of
the world during the year 1900 will
be shown by the statement which will
be presented by Mint Director Rob-
erts in his report for the fiscal year
1901. The entire stock of money in
all nations on January 1, 1900, was
stated by him a year ago at 81, $780,
100000: The stock on January 1, 1901.
will be stated at 81, 781, 200, 900, of
which $4,000, 100000 was in gold, 3d.
s41, 100000 in silver, and So, O33, 400, 900
in paper in excess of that covered by
coin reserves. These figures by their
very immensely fail to convey any
adequate idea of the increase in the
worlds stock of money within the
past generation. They actually show
an increase of more than $50 per
cent in 30 years.

A HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS
This Vast sum Represents the Excess of
Government Receipts Over Expendi-
lures for the Year.

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE treas
ury is in condition OF unexampIed
strength said Secretary Gage Tues
day when asked to review briefly the
treasury situation at the close of the
year, For the calendar year we
show receipts in excess of the or
binary expenditures amounting round
ly to $1oO,OOO,0oO dollars. Such an ex-
cess might have resulted in serious
embarrassment had not the depart
ment been able by means of this sur
plus to reduce the public debt in large
amounts. Since April last the treas
ury has redeemed and cancelled Unit
ed States bonds to the par value of
$50, TATTOO, which have been applied
to the sinking fund, and the disburse-
ment resulting therefrom was $72,-
226, S45. The available cash on hand is
therefore only about $3O,ooO,O 900 larger
than. the amount held year ago"

WILL DEFY GOV. STANLEY.
One District Judge Threatens to Have the
Executive Arrested for .'COn-
tempt of Court

Topeka, Kan, Jan. civilian
Thomson, judge of the Thirty-fifth
Kansas Judicial district. announces
that he will defy the will of Gov.
Stanley and adds that if the governor
undertakes so set up authority
against him, when he refuses to turn
over his office to R. C. Heller January
IA, he will issue warrant against
him for contempt of court. Judge
Thomson will be in the midst of a
term of court at Westmoreland, in
Pottawatomie county. at the time.
Other Judges similarly situated will
fight the new law, except Judge Bur-
ris, of johnson county, who, it is said,
accepts it.
Briefly stated, the contention is
that the judges affected by the Hal
lett biennial election law, passed last
winter, claim it is unconstitutional.
The law was enacted to legislate Ger
tain popu1ist or democratic Judges
out of Office and one republican,
Thomson, suffers. They claim that
if the act is unconstitutional they
viii hold over until the next Novem-
Der election.

AT THE WHITE HOUSE.
President ROoseveIt's New Years Recep-.
ton Was More Largely Attended Than
Any in Recent Years

Washington, Jan. President
Roosevelt's first public>recePtioh was
attended more largely than any New
Years reception in a number Of
years. In all $500 persons filed
through the white house and shook
hands with the president. Mr.. Roose-
welt, on being apprised that the crowd
in line outside the white house was
unusually large, gave orders that the
gates should not be closed until the
last person desiring to do so had an
opportunity to pay his respects.
President Rooseve1t's manner of re-
ceiving his callers was exceedingly
gracious and happy. AS each guest
was announced by Col. Bingham the
president grasped the hand of the
visitor and wished him hearty New
Year, often accompanying this with
some felicitous expression to any
one recognized as close friend.
There was no hurrying along of the
callers and often there was consider
able delay while pleasantries were
exchanged.

Lincoln, Neb., Jan. 2.-Gov. Savage
will leave to-day for short tour of
the southern states, his final destina-
ton being New Orleans. At the state
house it was understood that the
pardon of Joseph BARLEY, the de-
faulting state treasurer, was to be
the final act of executive clemency
for the present holiday season. No
local happening for months has
caused the sensation that did the
release of BARLEY. Gov. Savage said
last night that he had received many
personal. expressions of approval of
his act, as well as messages of con-
graduation. kilograms of the same
tenor poured into the Barley home,
and friends and former neighbors
called to express their good will. In
this city there were also expressions
condemning the governors action, ac-
fcompanied by predictions that it
would have an important political
bearing Mr.. BARLEY would make no
statement. The theory that the gov
ernor was actuated by the belief that
the pardoned man would be in a po-
sition to make restitution of part of
the 100000 lost to the state was
neither affirmed nor denied.

IN GIRLS CLOTHES2
Evanston Police Have New C1ew to
a Long-Lost Boy.
Frank Rogers Was Stolen from His Home
Last July by His Aunt and All Efforts
to Find Them Have Proved
FruftIeaa.

Chicago. Dec. 31.-The Evanston
police, with renewed hope of success
in solving one of the most mysterious
of recent years, have issued new CIR
culars of reward for information
concerning the whereabouts of Miss
Florence Ely and her 13-year-old
nephew, Frank Rogers. A description
of Miss Ely is given but it is stated
that the boy is in all probability
dressed in the garb of a girl. Their
non-success in obtaining valuable in
formation concerning the pair hith-
erto is now attributed to the fact that
the police had been asked to look for
a woman and boy.
This new tack in the search is due
to the discovery of the clothing worn
by Miss Ely and the boy July Is, the
day and disappeared. A dog dragged
from under depot platform bundle
of clothing which the parents of
young Rogers identified as having be-
1onged to their son. A search dis
closed Miss Ely's old garments. AS
the boys collar was left with the
clothes, it is thought certain that Miss
Ely took advantage of the lads girl
ish face and hair to dress him in
skirts. 1t is thought that following
the change of clothing the boy and
woman took a train for Wisconsin OF
Michigan and it is believed she il
supporting both by giving instruc.
lions in music and painting. A reward
of $500 for the apprehension of the
boy or his aunt has been standing
since last July.

Hay expressing full satisfaction
with Germany's position. Germany

A SUMMARY OF KANSAS EVENTS.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
PoDuliats to Meet Soon.

The populist state committee, which
held a meeting in Topeka Saturday,
came to a decision to issue a call for
a state delegate conference, to be
held in Topeka or Wichita before
March Is, to finally pass on the ques-
tion of whether the peoples party
shall abandon its organization and its
members join the democratic party.
The exact date and place of the con-
ference will be announced by Chair
man E. r. Ridgely within a few days.
With the call there will be issued a
formal statement to the members of
the populist party giving the express
conditions which render the confer
ence necessary. The new election law
adopted by the republican legislature
Hast winter makes it impossible for
the anti-republican forces to get to-
gether as formerly, and it is necessary
for new methods to be adopted. 1t is
admitted that a combination is neces-
sary and the advice of the multitude
is desired. The leadrs want to know
directly from the people what course
to pursue, and to this end primaries
will be called for the election of the
0c4eSdOSS 10 d conference OF Cne
party: The basis of representation
will be one delegate for every county
and one delegate for every 500 votes
or major fraction thereof cast for
John w. Breidenthal for governor in
1900. This will make a convention OF
ABS delegates. :.

girl was buried who bore the rather
unique distinction of having both a
mother and a grandmother who were
born in Kansas. The grandmother
was the first white child born in
Fort Scott, and it is claimed that she
was the second white child born in
Kansas. Less than six years ago this
little girl had her picture taken il
company with her great-grandmoth

and now each representative of these
four generations is dead. The great
