It was then that the Lord OF The
Desert decided to send for relief.
General Crook had recently arrived
at old Fort Warner and, expecting
that the Indians would guard the
trail toward this point. Martin Lyle

enemy's lines without mishap and
made his way to the trapper's quar-

the government fort for aid at once
and promising him liberal reward
for his trouble.

his aim was bad, the dog escaped, yelp-

ESCAPE OF scour euRNHAM.
Real Adventure in South Africa that
Reads Like Fiction.

heaL adventure IN south AFRICA tnat
Reads Like Fiction.
Burnham, the American scout, who
was Lord Roberts chief OF scouts, was
one of the most interesting figures in
the South African War. Some of his
adventures are as thrilling as the Wild
est inventions of the writers of dime
novels, differing only In the important
respect that they are true. Frederick
Unger, the American war correspond
ent, relates one of them In his book,
''With Bobs' and Kruger"
Burnham once allowed himself to
be captured and led into DeWet's
! camp, hoping to get information and
then escape. He concealed his identi-
ty, but was betrayed by another pris-
oner, British officer, who, in spite
of Burnham's signs, stupidity called
him by name. A special guard was
Immediately placed over him, and on
the march he was put into a trek
wagon, closely covered except In front
An armed driver sat on the seat, a
guard rode at each side and one be-
hind. Learning from the conversation
of his guards that when they reached
the railway he would be sent on to
Pretoria by train, he knew he must
escape them or never.
He kept awake at night and watched
his chance. 1t came when the driver
got down to give some directions to
the native boy leading the oxen. Burn
ham crept up on the seat, from which
he slipped down to the cart-tongue,
and from there he slid quietly to the
ground, PROSTATE under the cart,
which passed over him. The guards
on the sides could not see, but those
behind might. He lay still, preparing
to endure even the tread of a horse
and not give a sign.
The night was dark. The horses of
the following cart stepped carefully
over him, and their riders just happen
ed not to look down. The next cart,
drawn by oxen, was some distance
behind, and before it came up Burn
ham rolled swiftly to the side Of the
road. where he lay until the cart pass
ed. Then, before another came up, he
had time to roll several hundreds yards
into the night, and was for the mo-
ment safe.
But now his escape was discovered.
The column halted and lights appear
ed. Horsemen rode up and down the
line, shouting and firing shots. Other
horsemen rode over the weld, and sew
eral came close to where Burnham
was lying. In the darkness he looked
so like lump of grass that he escaped
notice. Had his pursuers waited till
daylight he would have been taken.
After a while the column moved on,
and Burnham rose to his feet and
struck off southwark for Bloemfon-
tein. He spent two days and nights
on the weld, hidden by day on the
SUBMITS of kopjes, from which he
could see Boer scouts, evidently on the
lookout~for him. At last he succeeded
In reaching Bloemfontein, after forty
eight hours without food. He had
gained important information from
the careless conversation of his guards,
and had accomplished his purpose.

Southern Railway Negotiating for
Queen and Crescent system.
New Orleans, Sept, 12.-The South
ern Railway company is negotiating
for the purchase of the Queen and
Crescent system. President Spencer,
Of the Southern, is now in England
and it is reliably stated that the d.
rect object Of his visit is to effect the
purchase of the line, which will give

leans over It's own rails.
The Southern has made oveitures
on several different occasions for the
New Orleans and Northeastern divi-
sion of the Queen and Crescent. but the
property In question is on paying
basis and its owners declined to sell.
The New Orleans and Northeastern,
the Alabama and Vicksburg and the
vicksburg, Shreveport and Pacific are
owned by the same people and oper'
ated by the same management.
Heretofore there has been an abso-
lutte refusal TO consider any PROPOSE
ton looking to the purchase of the
Northeastern, which did not include
the other two companies. The fact
that Mr.. Spencer has deemed IL nee
essary to make a trip to England to
try and effect the deal makes it ap-
pear that the Southern is very much
in earnest

THE LIVING ISSUE.

The number of critics end insurgents
IN the Republican party on the tariff
issue is growing. Gov. Cummings. of
Iowa, strong Republican, says: at
is time for the plain speaking, and I
give notice here and now that I am go
ing to take an active part in this cam
paign and that am going to give great
prominence to this issue. We Repub.
licans of Iowa are all protectionists.
but we insist that the tariff must be re-
moved on articles in which monopoly
has been established. We call upon
Congress to place Legislative obstacles
in the way of the tendency of modern
combinations to destroy competition.
Competition is the fundamental law of
industrialIsm, and we are not willing
to have the tariff used in throttlIng or
perpetuatlng it. That Is what our
platform means when 1T says no shell
terIng of monopoly, and that platform
is not to be repudiated. 1t stands, and
we stand upon 1t.
Pretty PLAIN talk from a Republican
source. Here is an utterance from an
other Republican, Senator DolIiver, of
Iowa, one of the strongest of all the
Republican States: ''For years we
have been telling the people that we
would do something towards broaden
ing trade by means of reciprocity
treaties. We have had the power in
all the branches of the government,
but we have done nothing. The Re-
publican party has got to stop lot of
its conversation or to take up these
treaties and some of the tariff schedules
and do something toward satisfying ex-
pectations. The Republican party on
this question is like ship with all sail
set and anchor fast. II is time to take
IN sail or take in the anchor"
