FIGHTING The hi: BOER
A Minneapolis Boy Serving With
the British Forces.
HE WAS SEEKING ADVENTURE
Soon After His Enlistment He Found
All He Was Look
Ing For.

Minneapolis has one Of her sons in the
South African mix-up. o. H. Peterson,
son of p. o. Peterson, one Of
the best -known cash grain men on
change, is serving in the British
army against the Beers. Peterson is
only 10 years of age, and for one of his
age has had an adventurous career.
After leaving school Peterson was en-
ployed for time in the Office of Samuel
Morse in the Chamber Of Commerce.
One day he became dissatisfied with the
hum drum life of a clerk, and announced
his. intention Of going out into the
world to secure his fortune.
For time young Peterson lived in
Washington and on the Pacific coast,
and after wanderings covering the
western part of the country, he found
himself in New Orleans. Here he fell
in with agents of the British govern
ment who had been buying horses for
the army. His next step was to en-
bark on a steamer for Cape Town.
Here he enlisted in the cavalry regi-
ment then known as "Kitchener's Own
Light Horse
-Four weeks later he found himself up
tachment was scouting out from Pre-
toria when the men were suddenly sur
rounded by Beers. A sharp fight fol-
lowed, but the detachment was able to
stand off the enemy until a reinforcing
party came up, although they lost six
men. Peterson was not shot, but his
horse fell under him, shot through the
BRAIN and in the maddened plunging OF
the animal, he was badly bruised. After
a short time in the field hospital, he re-
joined his command and was made order
ly to Lieutenant Norton Of the division
staff. 800 s-,-.-.
Petersons letters to his father have
been from thirtytwo to forty days in
! transit, and have had to pass a strict
censorship, as witnessed by the envelop
marks. His father sent him a new 81
certificate, and he sold the bill to a
colonial officer for 81, as there was some
competition for it as a souvenir. The
| colonials, he says, are in great demand for
breaking the new horses received daily,
and he has been used to break at least
thirty The English Tommy Atkins il
not at his best as breaker of wild
horses. Peterson says that to a man in
the ranks it does not look much as IT the
war were anywhere near over.

CAUCUS IN HARMONY
Republican Aldermen Agree to Pull
Together Better.

The republican aldermanic caucus last
evening is described by those present as
having been a most agreeable and har-
monious function. The aldermen were,
to a man, in a most amiable mood. Col
onel Adams was the only absentee, and
following the selection of a fire chief
they discussed matters Of city import with
all fairness and consideration. 1t was
agreed that they must "get together
better, and to that end 1t was the senti-
ment that informal meetings for the dis
cussion of republican policies and meas
ures and matters Of general council and
party import be held each month. Every
body beamed on his neighbor and the
gathering broke up with all hands feel
ing as mellow as fall pippins.
The specific matters discussed were con-
tract vs. day labor work and municipal
electric lighting The sentiment of those
present on the latter score was that
municipal lighting was undeniably COM
ing at an early day, but doubt was ex-
pressed upon the advisability of pushing
it to the front at this time.
Aldermen Lane and Mumm took occa-
sion to express their sentiments regard
ing paving operations of the past year.
They were inspired to special efforts in
this direction by the recently discovered
fact that there is a deficit in the perma-
nent improvement revolving funds OF
about $39, 900, due to overdratts last year.
They were disposed to place the RESPONSE
biIity alone on the city engineer Alder
man Merrill who long since forgave the
city engineer for the sulphurous state
ments that he directed at him once upon a
time in the paving committee, came gal
lantly to his rescue. He reviewed the his
tory of the movements and actions of the
paving committee during the year, told
of it's many goings ahead and backing
ups, its changes of mind and plans, the
many weeks that all progress was blocked
by aldermanic jockeying on the floor of
the council, and the many and varied OBJ
structions and delays of the year, and de-
clared that the committee and the coun-
| Gil must shoulder it's share Of the respon-
! sihi1itv

WHITES LATEST
The Gasoline Inventor Gets II HI. r
From a IL HI. p. Engine.

From a IL HI. p. Engine.
A. number of mechanical inventions
made recently by Clarence S. White of
the Globe Iron Works, te-, resulted in
increasing the efficiency of the White
gasoline engine over 80 per cent, without
increasing the size of the cylinder, or
principal parts Of the engine. This will
enable this company to turn out tho
cheapest seventeen horse power engine
on the market. as it is now recognized as
ore of the very best. The same princi-
pies will apply on engines of all sizes.
The nature Of the improvements are too
technical for brief description, although
they are all simple and easily understood
by any mechanic. They increase the
power by decreasing the waste space in
the cylinder, and by increasing the sup
ply Of oxygen in the cylinder at the mo-
ment the gas is ignited These inventions
are fully protected by patents, and are
considered of great value.
The Globe Iron Works company is max
ing great run on its marine engines,
selling them all over the northwest, as
we'll as on the Pacific coast, where the
White is known as the Minneapolis gas
oline wonder"

TRUSTS AND MERGERS
oh. s. N. Deinard Talks of Them a
Jewish Synagogue.

DR.. S. N. Deinard attacked trusts and
mergers at the Hebrew Reformed syna-
gogue last night. These two outgrowths
of the concentration of capital, he said,
were the result of the attempt to economize
which would always be blessing so long
as society shared in it's benefits. The
trouble with trusts and mergers, he said,
was that they had no souls and did not
allow the public to participate in the
benefits Of their economies. On the other
hand, he declared. they robbed the public
by increasing prices, the profits going to
the "magnates." AS a result Of this, the
middle class, he said, was finding it more
difficult with each day to make both ends
meet. A society with immensely rich men
at one extreme and tramps and beggars
at the other could not long exist, in spite
of it's magnificent foundations.

RURAL CARRIERS WANTED
Some Route. Near the City Not Ye'
Supplied.

Z Assistant Postmaster Hughes is having
some difficulty in finding rural free de-
livery carriers for the service which be-
gins in Hennepin county the first of March
Tie difficulty does not concern outside
routes so much as those near the city.
Congress allows each carrier $500 year.
This includes the keeping Of a horse, Of
course, and as at least twenty-five miles
day must be travelled it often means feed
for two beasts. Mr.. Hughes expects, how
ever, that applications enough will be re-
ceived by him at the postofice to begin
the additional service which Congressman
Fletcher has secured for this county on
March 1.
