ment OF teachers and all of the man
aeement of the institution, much aft
err the fashion that the board of con-
troll handles the other fourteen in
situations.
The senate committee on appro-
priations Saturday passed resolu-
tion.to the effect that it was the sense
of the committee that not,more than
$75, 600 should be appropriated for an
exhibit at the st. Louis Exposition in
1908. The matter was discussed at
come length by the committee and
SIS, 200 was agreed upon as about the
proper amount, in view of the other
dem ands on the treasury. Some
mem bers of the committee suggested
500, OOO and S125 200, but both of these
motions were voted down.
The appropriation for monuments
in memory of the Iowaregiments that
fought at Lookout Mountain was dis
cussed by the committee. The bill
calls for an appropriation of SIS, 900
aud although this amount will not be
given, it was practically decided to
m axe some appropriation for this
purpose.
The board of control omnibus bill
carrying with it appropriations ag-
gregating s73t, 577 so was recommend
ed for passage Saturday by the house
appropriations committee. Only a
few minor changes were made in the
bill by the committee and it is prac-
tically as drafted by the board of con
troll. The Cherokee appropriation OF

beaten.

ton followed upon the heels of the

A REAL LIVE BOER.
Commandant Liebenberg of South
Africa in Town.

Commandant Liebenberg,a genuine
Boer and one who has seen service in
the South African struggle against
British rule, came to the city Tues
day evening in company with Mayor
John H. Scarborough, of Pella. The
gentleman met number of the citi-
zens of Oskaloosa at the Hotel Down
ing and talked entertainingly of the
Boer question in its many phases.
The English government is said to be
after this gentleman and it is claimed
that reward of i've hundred pounds
sterling is laid upon his head. He
has been in this country a little less
than year and has been talking for
the Boer cause. In this short time he
has acquired quite vocabulary of
English words and is seldom at loss
to express himself in forceful lam
guaee. Once in a while when his
eaI sstness and enthusiasm cannot
find vent in English words he spoke
in his native tongue and Mr.. Steu-
benraugh acted as interpreter for
him.
Mr.. Liebenberg told of the begin
ming of the war with the English and
the way that it has been conducted
sinie that time. He stated that the
Boer would never submit and would
ultim ately have success. He related
instance of the methods being pur.
sued by the English and covered
many points of interest in his talk.
The object of his words was chiefly
10 SOW here and there few seeds of
sympathy for the Boar in the contest
for his freedom in his country. he
said that the Beers desired TO have
their Cmen and children and old
men removed from the control Of the
British and taken from the territory
wherein there was lighting to the eide
of the contested country so that they
might be fed, clothed and otherwise
cared for by friends. If this could be-
done the Beers would take care OF the
rest. The gentleman stated that in q
large number CT cases the English
would fight behind the women and
children and of course the Beers were
helpless in this case. They could not
shoot down their own to get at the
enemy.
1t was said that very little, if any,
of the true status OF the struggle came
out of the land as news for the world.
All that could get out in general
way went through the hands of the
English and was doctored to suit the
occasion. "The war is not nearly
over and it will not be over until the
independence of the United States of
South Africa has been acknow-
lodged"

C. L Farmhouse the Band Master

A furniture van backed up to the

clerks were given a treat by O. l..
Farmhouse, the band master, in the
shape OF 25, 900 circulars, all stamped
and ready for delivery. The circulars

are destined for all parts of the

will be enormous. They go to towns
from Nome, Alaska, to Melbourne,
Australia, and from Manila to Suez.
Thus the horizon OF our fame is
again enlarged, and the name of the

winds. May the seeo thus sown
bring harvest of hundred fold to

ons, frustrated all the attempts of
the British officers to rally their
forces. Great confusion ensued
among this portion of the mounted
troops, they and the mule wagons
galloping three miles beyond the OK
wagons, where they were cut off.
Sections of the Fourth and Thirty
eighth batteries of artillery fought
with great gallantry, and 300 men,
composed of the Northumberland fu-
siliers and the Lancashires, showed
conspicuous courage in protecting
the wagons and refusing to surren-
der until resistance was useless.

Chicago, March 12.-Fire completely
destroyed the storage and glass plant
Of the Brunswick-Balke Collender Co.

Tuesday night. The structure, which
was five stories in height, burned

which sets little to the right, was
badly scorched. The loss will be large,
but cannot be estimated at this time.
