The condition of Smith street with
its macadam pavement has become SO
unbearable during the few days of dry
weather that even one lonely sprink
ling cart is welcomed by everyone.
According to the proprietor it is up to
the merchants and property owners
whether,it will be continued after this
week or not. 1t is not to be hoped,
that everyone will subscribe, however,
and, as is generally the case, a certain
number will have to pay for the COM
forts of all.
We would suggest that if the Rari-
tan Traction Company wanted to
make itself real popular with the
people it would begin sprinkling the
streets from end to end at once, with
out waiting for the legal case now
pending, to be settled. 1t would not
be much expense and at the same time
would place the company before the
people in, a, way it has never been
before.

LONDON, April 24-The war office
has issued a Gdspatch from Colonel
Swami, at Bohoae, SonHalfland, giving
a message received from General Man
ming, the general officer commanding,
dated twenty miles westward of G&-
ladi, April IS. The dispatch says;
Il regret toreport tHHt CObbe s. flying
column. which left Galadf on April 10
to reconnoiter THE WaTwal road, met
with az serious check on April 17.
Cobbe, who was forty miles To- the
westward of Galadi, had decided to
return owing TO the difficulty on find
ing the road and the shortness OF wa
ter, WHEN firing was heard in the~direc-
ton Of small accommodating, party
under Captains Olivey-
"Co0t1e dispat tched Colonel PinrEett
with 160 rifles, forty-eight sikhs and
two MaXims to eXtricate Ohvey. A
few hours later heavy firing was, heard
in Rlunkett7s direction. Them fugi-
tives' came in and reported the total
loss of Plunkett's force with the ex-
ception of thirtY-seven YaOs.
'eThe. latest information received
from the fdgitives about the affair is
that Plunlsett pursued the enemy in

force Of the enemy's mounted men and
Infantry attacked him at close quar-

ROOSEVELT BREAKS CAMP.
Tour Will BE Rcsumed-Mnny Happy
Days Bn Yellowstone.


CINNABAR, Mont. April 24.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt greeted the members OF
his party and large number of peo-
pie at the Mammoth Hot Springs no.
tel in Yellowstone park and will re-
sumo his tour.
The president and those who accom-
panied him on his tour are delighted
with the trip. No accident occurred to
mar the pleasure of tie party, and
they were favored with delightful
weather. John Burroughs, who accom-.
panied the president most of the time,
was also greatly benefited. The pres
ident spent most of his time studying
the habits of the different species OF
game that abound in the park. He
would lie for hours near a herd of elk
or mountain goats and frequently walk
eight or ten miles to observe item. He
also studied bird life with Mr.. Bur
roughs and showed himself particular
ly well posted on this subject. Mr..
Burroughs was able to show him but
one bird with which he was not ac-
quainted-namely the solitaire.
The camping party was Il small one
consisting of Major Pitcher. Mr.. Bur-
roughs, two orderlies and two cooks
There also was a small force to man
the pack wagon. An amusing incident
occurred during the presidents visit
to Geyserland. The president and Nh
Burroughs were on skis and started to
race down hill The snow was soft
and Mr.. Burroughs, who had never
used ski before, soon found himself
with his head in the snow and his feet
in the air. He had hardly struggled
to his feet when the president repeated
the performance. Neither one was
hurt, but Major Pitcher secured excel
lent photographs of the catastrophe
which he has promised to have devel
Oped.
The party was fortunate in running
across game. Thousands of elk and
deer and quite number of mountain
sheep and goats were encountered
The president and Mr.. Burroughs alsC
saw many strange birds, and the latter
is quite enthusiastic over some of the
feathered tribes that inhabit the park
The longest walk enjoyed by the
president was taken on Easter Sunday
He spent the day in climbing noun
tains and walking along the trail. He
covered fully twenty miles and did not
return to camp until evening.
The first three days the weather was
extremely cold and the president was
compelled to break the ice in his buck
ct before performing his morning alb
lutions.
On April 8 the outfit arrived on the

dent sat around the camp fire with the
