PRAISE FOR JOE.
Chamberlain Has Done All Man Gould
Do to Pacify South Africa.

London, Feb. 26-Ine departure Of
Mr.. Chamberlain from Capetown is
the theme of laudatory editorials in
the English press on the result of his
mission. Even liberal journals give
him credit for indefatigability and
craftsmanship in the effort to estab-
fish harmony in South Africa.
The writer's declare that he has not
evaded a single question, and that his
mission has been crowned with sue
cess. South Africans here take an
optismistic view, being Influenced by
DR.. Jameson, who has reported an i'm
provement in affairs in every quarter.
He has even expressed the confident
hope that the progressive party will
carry the elections in Cape Colony.
DR.. Jameson, who is the real leader
in that party, will speedily return to
Capetown. South Africans here find
it difficult to believe that Mr.. Cham
berlain has converted the Beers and
Cape rebels into sincere imperialists,
but they consider that every disputed
question has been settled, and South
Africans have agreed that nothing
can be obtained by further agitation.

WERE RESCUED BY FIREMEN

Lowell, Mass, Feb. 27.-One person
and possibly others lost their lives in
a fire which broke out in the Burbank
block here early today. The building
was used for business, lodging houses
and social purposes, the street floor
containing stores, the second, third
and fourth floors lodging rooms, and
the top floor a dance hall.
There were Is dodgers in the house
when the fire broke out. The body Of
Mrs. Sarah F. Kittredge, correspond
ent of the Ladies' Homes Journal and
the Saturday Evening Post Of Phila-
delphia and other periodicals, was
found. Later it was reported that
four other persons were missing and
search of the ruins was continued.
The total financial damage is esti-
mated at 1925 1000, partly covered by
insurance.

First Beef from Montana.

Montana Stockman and Farmer:
Our readers no doubt have read many
differing sketches and newspaper ar
ticles regarding the first output of
beef cattle from Montana ranges.
There have been varying dates and
names given as the first. In fact,
historical data at hand has been in
definite on many phases of the live
stock history of the section now
called Montana.
During a talk with II H. Sapping-
ton last week the matter of the first
shipments of beef cattle from Mon
tana came up. 1t is certain that the
first cattle from this section were
from the southern portion of the
state, that being first settled, and on
this topic Mr.. Sappington said:
"The first cattle taken from what
is now Montana to the eastern market
was in 1873. A man by the name
of Forbes, who had settled near where
Sappington station now is, drove a
bunch to Ogden and shipped to Chi
cago. l do not recall what these cat
tie brought. The next year C1874) I
drove a bunch of 500 head for Poin-
dexter & Orr to Cheyenne. l left
Dillon on the 21st day of April and
on the 10th day of July arrived at
Laramie. On the 18th day of July
we moved the cattle to Horse creek
and stayed there till October, when
we shipped to Chicago from Cheyenne.
I went with the cattle to Chicago
and they netted SAG per head. They
sold at $4.20 and were four, five and
six years old.
THAT same year Chas. Beers and
a man named Brooks drove to Chey-
enne and shipped, and J.. B. Hunter
drove a bunch to Granger for ship
ment. After that the driving of cat
tie to- Cheyenne or to the south he.
came a regular thing, but l am certain
that the first shipments of any note
were those mentioned-the first in
1872.
Mr.. Sappington's journey from
Montana 20 Cheyenne. covering three
months, was without unpleasant inoi-
dent, though a hundred miles north
Of the rou.e chosen there would likely
have been some thrilling experiences
with the Indians, who at that time
were not at all friendly to the white
invasion.

the Headlines.
To use an eighteenth century
pharse, this is an "o'er true tale" Hav-
ing happened in a small Virginia town
in the winter of 1902, it is a story very
much of the present. Up to a short
time ago Mrs. John E. Harmon, Of
Melfa Station, Va, had no personal
knowledge of the rare curative proper
ties of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
Last January, she says, my baby
took a dreadful cold and at one time
! feared she would have pneumonia,
but one of my neighbors told me how
this remedy had cured her little boy
and l began giving it to my baby at
once and it soon cured her. l heartily

Circulars Issued Representing Teu-
tonic Element as Predomi-
nan in Territory.

New York, Feb. 27.-The %endeavors
OF non-official Germany, say a dis
patch to the Times from Paris, via
London, have for years been steadily
directed toward the Germanization of
a portion of Brazil, and a considerable
amount of printed literature in cir
culation in a semi-private way, refers
to this project in undisguished terms.
In an instructive specimen is a
glowing description of the position
and progress of the German element
in Brazil by Herr Wiegand, at one
time manager from the North German
Lloyd company at Bremen, and after
ward director of the colonial section
of the German foreign Office. Herr
Wiegand emphasizes the strong Ger
manizing capacity of the settlers, who,
he says, absorb the French, Alsatians,
Swiss, Italians, and even in the sec
ond generation, the hostile Polish ele-
ment.
The Hanseatic colonization society
has issued photographic maps repre-
senting the German element as pre-
dominatnt in certain. coveted terri
tories. What the German empire

remarks the correspondent, might pos
sibly be feasible for it as patron, mil
itary and diplomatic adviser Of a cou-
pie of important South American
states. or of a Latin-American con-
federation. The history of German
influence in Turkey shows that the
role of protector can be highly profit
able from a purely commercial and
financial standpoint.
