Possibility that the Contest Will Be

WASHINGTON March PA bare
possibility exists that the fight over
the question Of Cuban reciprocity will
be transferred to the floor Of the
house during the coming week. The
probabilities are, however, that the
reciprocity convention introduced by
Mr.. Payne, the floor leader of the
majority, after the action Of the re-
publican caucus last week, will not be
called up until the following week,
though upon this point no definite
decision has been reached as yet by
the leaders.
The present program is to take up
the army bill after the disposal of
the Moss-Rhea contested election case
on Tuesday. Several days will be
consumed in general debate on this
bill, as the democrats are inclined to
use it as a text for speeches in op-
position to the policy of the admin
istration in the Philippines.

expert, formerly expert in the depart.
ment of agriculture for the United
States, who has in charge the drilling
for coal near here by the Sioux Beet
Syrup and Preserving company, is SO
near the third vain of coal that, for
the first time, he gave out statement
yesterday as to what, in his opinion,
is the value of the deposit.
I'VE have passed through two good
veins" he said, mostly Ignite coal,
and other smaller veins, making about
eight feet of coal to a depth of 191
feet. From the formations l feel posi-
tive there will be enough coal in a
vein some ten feet below our drill to
pay for the mining.
There is coal here, of a good BIZ
luminous quality, and 1 believe there
is enough to mean a fortune" he said
positively.

SCHUYLER, Neb., March 24.-Madi.
son Fleek of Linwood, Neb., the driver
passing Mrs. Rima and niece when
their team backed off the Platte river
bridge and both women were drowned,
is under arrest and in Jail at this
place, being under bond, and is to have
a preliminary hearing Monday.
He has been harshly criticised since
the death of the women for driving
away without offering assistance. He
gives as his reason for this action
that he could not stand the noise
made by the drowning women and had
to get away as fast as possible. The
charge against him is manslaughter.
He refuses to state the direct cause
Of the accident.
Frank Reizicka and son were direct
ly in front of Fleeks vehicle at the
time of the double drowning, and they
state that the prisoner is not respon-
sible for It's occurrence, as the team
of the women ran into his and both
teams became unmanageabIe.
Search for the bodies was continued,
but no trace of them has as yet been
found. Dynamite was exploded in the
water and the river was thoroughly
dragged for several miles below the
bridge, but without avail.

the new German meat act which
takes effect October /.
The demand abroad" he said, "is
for the light-cured meats and the eff
feet of the new German law will be
to cut off most of our trade in pork.
We have great respect for the German
chemists and if they have decided
that borax is deleterious then we
must accept their decision and protect
ourselves from articles brought into
this country that may be supposed to
be treated with boraX.'

Carneqie Will Donate

BEATRICE. Neb., March 24.-Major
A. L. Green, a member of the library
board of Beatrice, received a letter
from Andrew Carnegie, offering to do,
nate $4,000 to the city for the pur-
pose of erecting a library building,
providing the city would donate a site
and pledge itself to support the IL
brary to the extent of $4,000 each year.
The proposition will be easy to COM
ply with. The present annual tax
levy for this purpose is s1,8OO and a
very low valuation. A popular sub
scription, it is believed, will be made
for the purchase of site. Mr.. Car
negie's gift will be greatly appreciat-
ed. The public library is now located
in cramped quarters in the govern
ment building and is constantly grow
ing in patronage.

TALK WITH BOERS
LEADERS APPEAR TO DISCUSS
THE SITUATION.
ON A PEACE MAKING MISSION
Acting President Sehalkburgher Hur-
ries Under Flag of Truce-Speclal
Train Gets Safe Conduct-Acommpa-
nieG by the Secretary of State.

PRETORIA, Mar. 24.-Acting Pres
ident Schalkburger, F. w. Reitz, eX-
secretary Of state Of the Transvaal,
and Cocmandants Lucas, Meyer and
Krugh, arrived here yesterday on a.
special train from Balmoral, fifty
miles east of here. They reached
Balmoral under flag of truce.
After a short stay here, they pro
ceeded for Orange River Colony.
Upon arriving here, Mr.. Schalk-
burger and party drove Immediately
to Lord Kitchener's headquarters,
where he had an interview with the
British general.
The Beers afterwards proceeded to
the railroad station and entrained at
5 O'Clock for Kroonstadt, where they
will go out under a safe conduct.
For a week past Mr.. Schalkburger
and his colleagues have been station
ed at Rhenoster kopje, north of Bal
moral, where they have been closely
pressed by British columns.
British dispatch riders entered Bal
moral last Friday night and notified
the British of the approach of Mr..
Schalkburger and party.
1t is said the Boer position at Rhen-
oster kopje had become almost unten-
able and that Mr. Schalkburger at
one time narrowly escaped capture.
LONDON, March 24.-The news that
that the wandering Boer government
has entered the British lines is re-
garded as having but one meaning,
namely, that another attempt is be-
ing made to negotiate peace. The fact
that the censor passed the news of
this movement is accepted as confirm
alton of this opinion.
Nothing is actually known here of
the intentions of Schalkburger, ReitZ,
Meyer and Krugh. 1t is possible they
have only sought permission to trav
erse the British lines in order to con-
suit with Mr.. Steyn and the Boer
generals, Detwet and Delarey.
But whatever their object, the news
has been welcomed in London as
pointing to the possibility of peace.
Correspondence which was seized
short time ago when Mr.. Steyn mar
rowly escaped capture, proved that he
and Mr. Schalkburger were anxious to
conclude peace.
No extravagant hopes, however, are
being built on the outcome of the
movements of Mr. Schalkburger and
his companions. chiefly because it is
feared that Delarey, in the flush of
his recent success, will refuse to be a
party to any negotiations
The war Office has informed a rep
resentative of the Associated Press
that it has received no official infor-
nation either confirming or contra
dieting the news. Commandant Krugh
is one of the secretaries of the Boer
government He was formerly the ad
ministrator of Swaziland and has not
been prominent during the war.

Discuss the Question.

WASHINGTON, d. c., March "a
Matters incident to the transition of
Cuba from American to Cuban con-
troll formed the subject Of confer
ence of several hours duration at the
white house last night. Those pres
ent included the president, Secretary
Root, Postmaster General Payne and
Governor General Leonard Wood.
General Woods visit will be very
short and he desires to learn every
thing possible about the condition of
affairs while in Washington. The sub
ject was gone over in many of its
features and general interchange of
ideas expressed.
Postmaster General Payne had his
first opportunity to meet Mr.. Wood
last night. Mr.. Payne believes that
the change in the two governments,
so far as postal matters are concern
ed, can be accomplished very easily,
although he thinks it will be neces-
sary for a time to retain some of the
postal officials of the island in their
present places until the business of
the department is in a smooth run
ming order.

rides on freight trains to the next sta

Young Olmsted and several others
were returning from a trip riding on
the truss rods. Olmsted ventured to
pick up a stone and lost his balance,
his foot caught and he was dragged
about a rod and was then thrown off
at Stoltz's crossing. A farmer waiting
to cross the track brought him to
town. His head is badly injured, and
it is feared that the skull is fractured
just back of the right ear. He has
not been conscious since he was pick
ed up.

place has written a rather startling let
ter to the papers. He says:
Il wss in great pain across my back
for four weeks, and was taking medi-
cine from a doctor all the time, but 1t
did not do me any good.
az bought a box OF Dodd's Kidney
Pills, and had not taken more than
four or five doses before noticed that
they were doing me good.
They helped me right along, and
kept on using them till had used four
boxes when the pain left me altogether.
One box of Dodd's Kidney Pills has
done me more g"oo than five dollars
worth Of doctors medicine.
",This remedy has certainly worked
wonders in my case, and feel 1t my
duty to give 1t the credit due"
