B0ER And RAINBOW
Burgher Delegates Come on Du-
bious Mission.
LOOK FOR REvULsIoN OF FEELING
Think PauncefOte's Alleged Pro-
Spanish Action Has Changed
American Sentiment.

Paris, Feb. 17.-Dr. Leyds, the Euro
pean agent of the Beers, who is in this
city, was questioned to-day regarding the
object of the mission to the United States
of the Boer delegates, MesSrs. Vessels
and Wolmarans. He replied that they
were merely going to America in response
to, invitations from American proBoers
with the view Of reaching an arrange
ment for the distribution of funds and
other assistance contributed by the peo-
pie of the United States towards the
BOer cause.
In other quarters, however, the impress
sion obtains that the journey is prompted
by the developments of the Anglo-German
controversy as to the attitude of the
powers previous to the Spanish American
war. which, the members Of the Boer dele
cation believe, has produced change of
sentiment in the United States towards
Great Britain on account of the pro-Span-
lsh action attributed to Lord Pauncefote
in April, 1898. The Beers hope to utilize
this supposed revulsion of feeling in an
endeavor to get the United States govern
ment, to modify its attitude towards medi-
alton. -.

secured divorce from a sympathetic jury
in District Judge Mullins court. Mrs.
Amelia Cluff, who keeps a candy store in
Chicago, did not enter an appearance.
The Cuffs were married in 1897 Mr.
Cluff, in his divorce petition, said that
as an il ducement to him his wife, then
a widow. told him that she was worth
500 900. After he was tied hard and fast
to her. he said he found that she ownad
only a candy store and that so heavily
mortgaged that she was worth practically
nothing. When he reproached her he said
she lost her temper and put live toads
and bits of melon in his bed and when he
threatened to get divorce she drew re-
volver and told him she would kill him.
This revolver figured extensively in their
domestic differences, according to his ac-

get the drop on him, he said. and make
him hear her out.

STEADY WORKER.
Coffee Works Slow But Sure.

Manv people use coffee day after day
without an idea Of the serious work it
does with the nerves. stomach, bowels,
and sometimes with the eyes, heart and
kidneys It's work is done gradually, that
is, the poison affects the nerve centers a
little to day and a little tomorrow and SO
on. and finally the nerve cells are slowly
broken down and then nature begins the
call for help.
1t is safe proposition that il a man or
woman has headaches. stomach trouble,
or any such ailments come on at intervals,
something is wrong with the food or
drink, and this question should be inves
tigated carefully, for health Is the best
capital anyone can possess and willfully
breaking it down is piece of childish
folly.
It is easy to leave off coffee if one will
take Postum Food Coffee, properly made,
for Postum has a delicious coffee flavor
and deep seal brown color which changes
to a golden brown when cream is added,
and it satisfies the coffe'a drinker without
any of the bad effects of coffee; on the
contrary, the result of using Postum is
the rebuilding of the broken down nerve
centers by the food elements contained in
it.
Postum is a pure food beverage made
by scientific food makers and can be de-
pended upon absolutely for its purity and
the good results that follow its Use.
To bring out the flavor and food value
Postum must be boiled at least 10 min
utes after the boiling begins.

Bismarck, N. D., Feb. 17.-Before Regis
ter McGillivray and Receiver Satterlund
of the Bismarck land office to-day, inquiry
was begun into the sale Of the Fort Stew
enson reservation in October last to l.. c.
Black of Cincinnati, for about $4,000.
Colonel j. w. Seevly special land in
spector of the interior department, and
M. D. McEniry. special agent OF the gen
eral land office, are here to attend the
inquiry. When the reservation was sold,
e. e. Secor Of Buffalo Center, Iowa,aC. M.
Johnson and Berger Hallum of Richland
county, and others were among the bid
ders, but were outbidden by Black.
After the sale affdavits were filed with
the commissioner OF the general land office
that there was & collision to prevent their
bidding and that an agreement was made
whereby Secor was to have his choice OF
lands in the reservation at 10 per cent
advance of the purchase price, and John
son and Hallum received $3.50 each. The
statements Of collision are denied by Mr.
Black and his associates, who claim that
they made an offer on every tract OF land
and outbid all competitors fairly.
Land Office officials here state that the
sale was conducted with openess and fair
ness and take no stock in the reports or
claims of COLLISION. The hearing may oc-
cupy several days.

When the stomach won't work the whole
body suffers, every tissue or structure OF
the body depends on the stomach for nour
ishment and renewal.
If the stomach is weak inactive and unable
to properly digest food, it not only subjects
the body to a state Of chronic semistarvation,
or habitually half-fed condition that weakens
it and renders it less productive of accom-
pishment and less resistant to disease but it
allows of the absorption of half digested, rot
ting mater al that is positive poison to it,
and taxes the elminative organs to expel it
| from the body. Thus it will be seen that the
inconvenience and distress, the disturbed rest,
the horrors of insomnia and the dreadful ca
prices of nightmare, are the most insignif-
cant part of indigestion, and that real danger
turks behind the condition.
Few people seem to realize the dangers of
weak, defective and disordered digestion.
Health reports do not give it as d cause of
death because some other disease sets in to
work destructive changes, only made possible
by the imperfect digestion, and the death is
accredited to them.
There are many medicines on the market
intended to correct and improve perverted
| or impaired digestion, but none is so safe,
SO economical, SO convenient, so effective, SO
! satisfactory, SO popular Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets. Whether the dyspepsia is OF
long standing or is only a case of temporary
Indigestion, they give prompt and pronounced
relief. Their regular use for a time will
cure all forms of gastric insufficiency SO that
'good digestion Will wait on appetite and
health on BOTH
BY promoting perfect digestion, all tissues
and structures are better fed and take on
healthfu1 activity; the blood becomes rich
the flesh sound and firm; the nerves strong;
the eyes bright; the skin clear; the mind alert
, and cheerful, and one begins to feel the lust
of life-the joy Of mere living.
Mr.. Thomas Scale, Mayfield, CAL, says
"Have used and recommended Stuart's Tablets
because there is nothing like them to keep
the stomach right"

came into Fort Pierre last night and
gave himself up for the killing of Ed
Sanches, better known as Mexican Ed,
at Sanches' ranch near Grindstone Butte,
about ninety miles west of Fort Pierre.

with others, was at the ranch Saturday
drinking and playing cards. and that he
had won few dollars from Sanches, and
in the evening prepared to leave, when
Sanches objected, and wanted to go on
with the game, finally following Adams
hand.
Sanches attempted to fire, but Adams
fired first, his bullet striking the Mexican
between the eyes, killing him. The coro-
ner of Stanley county has gone out after
the remains
Sanches has kept road ranch on the
Deadwood trail for over twenty years, and
is an old timer in the state.

understand the question:.
''Is it your Intention said Mr.. Jacob
son, 'for this committee to frame the
amendments and then frame bill to cor
respond with them?''
Eyes," replied Mr.. Kelly, 81 think that
is the best way out of it.
THAT understanding suits me- said Mr.
Jacobson. Il am willing to fight 1t on the
floor on that basis. -
Mr. Laybourn came to the rescue lie
said this might be Mr.. eKlly's individual
opinion, but for his part he could not
say at this time what would be the
proper course.
Mr.. Burns went at.Mr. Kelly and asked
him whet her it was his idea that tax
code should not be passed until next win
ter.
This aroused the choler of the gentle
man from Mortified who announced that
he was tired of having his motives pre-
Judged He was approaching the ques-
ton honestly and demanded that he be
given credit for proper motives.
Il was simply taking you as | under
stood you" said Mr. Burns. Il meant
no reflection on your motives.
First Vote Taken.
The roll was then called on Mr.. Lay
bourn's motion. with the result already
recorded-9 for and against, Mr.: Peter
son being absent.

er there was any use Of an afternoon ses-
sion Unless the committee proposed to
take Up the bill and work Oh 1T there was

dicated that they had no intention OF
working on the bill until they had the
amendments. MI. jacobson then with
drew his motion. and on motion Of Mr.

ject to the call of the chairman.
Eight members Of the committee, led by
Chairman Wallace, Mr. acCbsOn, and MI.
Peterson, if present, will fight the motion
on the floor of the house tomorrow morn
ing. They will be supported by the
friends of the bill in general, and it is
predicted that the motion will fail. A
prominent senator who witnessed the fight
in the committee this morning said after
wards:
THE opponents of the bill forced their
fight too soon. They could have voted to
take it up section by section and have
dragged out the sessions till the cause
of the bill would be hopeless. They will
never carry that motion tomorrow. What
is more, they have shown that majority
OF the committee S hostile to the bill

report of the deal to the directors of the
Great Northern. The information was
promised later on.
Judge Lancaster sought to bring out
the status of the stock of the Burlington
railway company and how the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific were to
obtain it. The new Burlington railway
company is the lessee of the lines OF the
old Burlington railroad company. Mr..
Hill said that the stock of the railroad
company was held by the Great Northern
and Northern Pacific and provisions are
made for proxies to settle any dispute
between the two. The voting privilege OF
each company continues as long as the
interest is maintained on the collateral
trust bonds. The amount of stock of the
new railway company has not been deter
mined, but $1O0,O0O,000 is authorized.
Whatever is issued can be taken up by the
Great Northern in equal shares at par for
ca sh, or can be exchanged for stock in the
old railroad company.
Purchase of N. p. Described.
Testimony given by Mr.. Hill at the af
ternoon session went into the details OF
the purchase of Northern Pacific stock
and the competition between the Hill
Morgan party and the Hartman Kuhn,
Loeb & Co. alliance for the control of the
property. Previous to this he stated that
the Great Northern had been party to
no arrangement to secure control of the
Burlington outside of the negotiations
which ended in it's purchase. Mr.. Hill at
at first refused to answer directly the
question if any other road had made an
attempt to secure control of the Burling-
ton independent of the negotiations with
it's directors He said that he had been
told so in confidence but would not state
who were the principal parties unless
compelled to. Later on in his testimony
Mr.. Hill said that Jacob Schiff had given
him the information and that Kuhn, Loeb
& Co. had tried to secure the road for the
Union Pacific. Attorney kellogg vigorous
ly protested against consuming time on
what he termed was hearsay and worth
less evidence. Mr.. Hills connection with
the Northern Pacific and his knowledge
of events connected with the fight for
control were then gone into in detail.
His testimony was much theh same as
previous sta tements made by him for pub
