London, July 3O.-Mr. Chamberlain's

which won the applause even Of such
opponents as Henry Labouchere Mr.
Chamberlain dealt comprehensively
with the past and future of South AT

I'VE are not going to allow the re
suit of the war to be undermined.
said Mr. Chamberlain. by intrigues
carried on by nominally constitutional
means" Regarding the future status
of South Africa. the colonial secretary
said the imperial government had es-
tablished crown colony in the strict
est sense. The next step would be to
add a nominated official element.
Thereafter there would be an elected
official element, and then nothing but
circumstances and time would separate
the new colonies from full self-govern
ment, the ultimate goal of their ambi

cause it might relieve the government
of the tremendous burden of respOnsi
bility involved in the present situation
but all must understand that the gov
eminent would not be rushed or hus
tied into any action which circum
stances did not warrant The speake
said he was one of those optimisti
enough to believe that the new colo
MES would reach the ultimate goal o
their ambition much sooner than man
persons now thought possible. So ia
as the government was concerned, tn
surrender promises would be kept

To-MoRRoW Saturday, marks the
beginning of the registration OF
voters for the coming election. Il
is<of great Importance that every
Union Republican having the righi
of franchise should qualify for this
privilege. The closing days OF
registration are always attended
with more or less of a rush and II
is, therefore, important that all who
can should register as soon a.
possible. This is not only an ad
vantage to those registering, bu
to those who look after the voters
who put the matter off until thu
last moment. This election will
be the hardest contest in the his
tory of the State and it is the dut,
Of every Union Republican to Sc
that not only he is properly regis
tered, but that other of his part,
are likewise qualified.

Was Determined TO Die

st. Joseph, Mo, July 3O.-Charles
Preble, a prominent farmer and stock
man, residing near Lanham, Neb.,
made three attempts to commit suicide
yesterday before succeeding. He first
tried to shoot himself through the
heart, but the bullet, the last one in
the revolver, failed to strike a vital
spot He then leaped into a 5O-foot
well, but was taken out by relatives.
Later he took the rope from the well
and hung himself from a rafter in his
barn. Heavy floods. which ruined hun
dreds of acres of his crops, causing
him heavy losses, is responsible for
the act.
