MAY COME ETO AMERICA.

New York, June 7-.As q result
. of the penalty which the Cape
Colony Boers who assisted : the
Bot,apr,st 81 the South African Republic
and the Orange Free States may be
called upon to pay by the terms OF
the peace agreement, an effort may
be made to find homes for some OF
them in the United States. W. D.
;Snyman of Cape Colony, who
fought with the Beers, and who
has been speaking in the United
States for the Boer cause during
the last year, said regarding tho
terms of surrender:
1.-The colonial Beers are to be
punished. I am 4 colonial Boer,
born q British subject, and am liable
to imprisonment for from five to
ten years if the term as published
are correct. am acquainted with
President Roosevelt, and shall see if
there is not a way for some of our
people to come to this country. I
think there is a great opportunity
for us here. There are few here
now, but in Portugal there are a
good many colonials, and they pro-
babIy will not want to return to
South Africa now. They are men
well born. If the United States
government would open the way
they would be glad to settle in
some state like New Mexico, Arizona
Texas or Colorado. They would
make good citizens; no one would
need to be ashamed of them. l shall
use every effort to open the way to
bring them here"

with him in South Africa, has just

The cattle were not a fancy bunch.
They were mostly grade Shorthorns,
being of the handy weight kind,

This bunch of cattle was marketed
by Webb Kellogg, large handler Of
cattle in northern Nebraska and a
good patron of this Market Last
November he marketed a load of
Hereford beeves that topped the
market then, bringing $6. He said:
IF had those same cattle on this
market today I could get, $780,,

NOTED CORRESPONDENT AND
TRAVELLER.

Few newspapers in the United
States are able to command the SER
vice of as brilliant a crop of CORES
pondents a. that Of The Chicago
Record Herald. Its choice of d
Washington correspondent is indlca'
tive of The Record Herald policy
of obtaining tho best there is to be
had. Walter Wellman, the we'll
known authority on political sub
iect and one in that capacity.
Mr.. Wellman was born in Mentor,
Ohio, Nov. 8, 1858. At the age of
s14 he began his newspaper ex-
perience, establishing at that age a
weekly paper in the little town OF
Sutton, Neb. In 1878 he returned
to Ohio, and a year later established
the Cincinnati Evening post. In
1884 he became the Washington
correspondent of The Chicago
Herald, and in 1892 he visited
Central America and the West
Indies and located the landing place
of Columbus on Watling's (San
salvador) Island, and marked the
spot with huge stone monument.
Mr.. Wellman 8 dashes to the north
pole are well known. In 1894 he
made the first of his two arctic
voyages of exploration, reaching the
latitude of 81 degrees northeast OF
sitzbergen. In 1898 he RETURNED
to the North, penetrated to Franz
discovery of new islands and lands
and brought back with him scientific
data and information of great value
to the Ameican Geographical Society
Mr.. Wellman has been a volum-
inous writer for scientific magazines
and popular periodicals. On return
ing from his arctic trip he renewed
bis connection with The Record
Herald and is now the Washington
correspondent of that paper: His
incisive discussion of contemporary
affairs has given him a high place
in the regard Of statemen and
scientists of the day.
