ondary provisions is awaited. The sus-

nounced at any hour.
London Excited.
London, May 24.-Expectation of
peace in South Africa has reached the
most acute stage, judging from what
has come over the wires from the
front. Reading between the lines and
from what information the various
papers have obtained from inspired
sources, peace is very near.
Outlook Hopeful.
That the peace outlook is most hope
full there can be no denying. The cab
met council was held at the foreign
office in the afternoon, when, although
nothing official was given out, it is I'M
derstood that the points under con-
sideration arose out of the practically
unanimous demand of the government
which laid down that the British terms
must be accepted by the Beers unless
they wished to face the only alterna-
tive. In reply to this it would seem
the Boer delegates asked if what they
call generous treatment would be Civ
en- in exchange for the sacrifice of in
dependence.
Discuss Minor Details.
This new move in the progress of
haggling, it is understood, was dis
cussed by the cabinet, which, there is
To ha1 hoe Ia
any concession whatever on the ma
jor points, intimated that it might be
possible to meet the Beers on certain
minor details.
Whatever the decision of the cabinet
was, it has been cabled to Lord Miner.
After the cabinet meeting the minis
ters left for their country homes for
the weeks end, and it is significant to
note that there is no likelihood of an
other cabinet meeting Immediately,
because on receipt of the cabinets re-
ply the Beers assembled at Vereenig-
ing will be left to vote
The feeling here is that the British
ultimatum will be accepted.
Demands Made by Beers.
The Daily News claims to give the
Boer demands as follows:
First, either an immediate grartof self
government, or. failing that. to fix date
for the establishment of self-government;
second in case self-government be deferred
that the Beers should be entitled to advise
with their temporary rulers; third, amnes-
ty for the rebels; fourth permission to re-
tain their rifles for defense against the ma
tives: fifth, permission to retain their sad
die horses; sixth, a guaranty that the ma
tives should not be treated upon ar equal
ity with white men, and. seventh, that no
limit shall be placed upon the money for
rebuilding ard restocking thlfarms.
The Daily News is of the opinion
that with exceptions in the matters of
self-government, the retention of
saddle horses, and the right to adj
wise with their rulers, the answers to
these demands will be generally of ac-

The Eastern Star Dance.

The Eastern Star dance, held in
Jensen hall Monday evening, was a
very successful affair, both from a So
cial as well as a financial standpoint.
The hall was comfortably filed
with guests, and the music, which
was by the Saratoga orchestra, was of
the best.
The ladies of the Chapter served
lunch in the gallery and cakes, coffee
and other good things were dispensed
to all who came. The dance lasted
until 4 o'clock Tuesday morning.
About 500 was taken in at the door
and, after all expenses are paid, the
net results to the Chapter will be
about $40.

The Ladies Aid Society have ar
ranged for a basket social to be held
at the Hot Springs Hotel tomorrow
night. Basket socials are rather a
novelty in this part of the world,
though quite common at other places.
The plan is for each lady who attends
to put lunch in a basket for two PEG
pie and the BASKET SO provided are
put up and sold at auction. The
buyer is generally in ignorance as to
who his partner for supper is to be
until he opens his basket and finds
the name of the fair lady inside. He
then hunts her up and they 90 and
find a convenient spot and enjoy the
contents of the basket together.
They anticipate "A large crowd and
a good time. The proceeds Of this
novel entertainment are to go toward

which is either beginning TO shrink
up dreadfully or else the congrega,

fact the church has been too snail
for the congregations that have AS

Sunday morning ushered in IA very
cold spell of weather. For ten days
the weather has not been as warm as
the tropics, but the thermometer
dropped down to 4 degrees below ze-

had not entirely lost its grip, even
though it was getting cid. The wea-
Their has turned much warmer and ev-

Good Work at the Bay Horse.

w. b. Harden, who is employed
at the Bay Horse mine, at Down
ington, came down from that
place on Mondays stage. He cut
his hand several days ago and
proud flesh appeared and he came
here to have it operated on.
Mr.. Harden says they are max
ing wonderful progress at the Bay
Horse, being down 2l5 feet on
the lead. He says the work on
that mine is being done in the
best and most careful manner of
any mine in this entire district
and is loud in his praise of the
ability and skill of the men who
have charge of the development
work. He thinks ii is by far the
best developed mine in this entire
region and that it is not only well
developed but is rich in ore.
Mr.. Harden viii remain here
until his hand gets better so he
can return to work.

In reply to the above we say that
the fishing season does not open I'M
til the LIST of May, and it would be
well for all lovers of the rod and reel
to keep their enthusiasm pent up un-
til that day, as they may get into
trouble if they happen to forget and
go fishing before that date.

Easter Services.

Easter Sunday was a bitter cold
day, the thermometer having fallen
to 4 degrees below zero the night be-
fore and not reaching above 20 de-
grees during the warmest part of the
day; still the Presbyterian church
was filed to its utmost capacity at
the morning services. The Pulpit
and rostrum was a mass of evergreens
and flowers and presented a very
pleasant spectacle. The choir seats
were all flied and the music was ex-
cellent. The audience was an APP
preciative one and was, no doubt, a
good part of the inspiration which
made Rev. Brundage preach the hap
piest sermon he has delivered since
his arrival here. His subject was the
resurrection of Christ, and he made it
one of especial interest by represent
ing the day as one Of emancipation
from death, by the rising of our
Lord from the grave, thus conquer
ing death.

The Petition,

The Advertiser is glad to state
that the gentle men passing thepeti
ton to call an election for the
purpose Of voting to extend the
present water works tax in order to
build central school building, :
public market, and extend the
water mains and electric lights te
all parts OF town, are having the
greatest encouragement. The
petition lacks only 20 names, and
there is no question but that as
soon as the tax payers can be seen,
the number will be readily sccur-
ed. It is indeed complimentary to
the citizens Of Lafayette that they
50 willingly and cheerfully slow
their generosity and public spirit,
and the Advertiser believes that
there is great future for our town.
