Of the most timely and striking SER

FIGHTING IN SOUTH AFRICA
Brief Sklrmlsh with the Natives, as
Described by the Late Henry
M. Stanley.

In the following language Sir Henry
NJ. Stanley describes an attack OF ma
tives upon his party during one OF his
African expeditions: 1.-THE Levlathan
bears down on US with racing speed,
its consorts on either flank squirting
the water into foam and shooting up
jets with their sharp prows; thrill
ling chant from 1000 throats rises
louder and louder on our hearing.
Presently the poised spears are
launched, and a second later my rifles
respond with ripping, cracking ex-
plosion, and the dark bodies OF the
canoes and paddlers rush past us.
For a short time the savages are
paralyzed. but they soon recover. They
find there is death in those flaming
tubes in the hands of the strangers,
and with possibly greater energy than
they advanced they retreat, the pur-
sued becoming the pursuers in hot
chase. My blood Is up. 1t is MUIR
derous world, and / have begun to
hate the filthy. vulturous shoals who
inhabit II.
Il pursue them upstream. up to their
villages, | skirmish in their streets,
drive them pell.mell into the woods
beyond and level their huts, and end
the scene by towing their canoes into
midstream and setting them adrift"

THE GUINNESS TRAGEDIES
Woman Arrested Through Lamp
here's Confession is Released.

Laporte, Ind, Jan. 16.-Mrs. Eliz-
abeth Smith, arrested as the result of
a confession of Ray Lamphere to
Rev. h. A. Schell, now president of
the Iowa Wesleyan University, has
been released on a $500 bond. The
negress, who was implicated by the
confession in the murder of Mrs.
Belle Guinness and her family, denied
all the charges made by Lamphere.
The grand jury will be in session
next week, when 1t is thought there
will be resumption of the inyesti-
CATION into the Guinness case.
The Truelson confession may yet
play an important part in the case.
This confession was made in May,
1908, by Julian Truelson of New
York now serving a term for forgery
in the Texas state prison, and it was
Investigated by Albert F. Shutter,
then sheriff of Laporte county. Truel-
son claimed to have visited the Gun
ness farm before the fire, and he
told much about the case.
For a time the officers were inclin.
ed to believe he was an accomplice,
but later concluded he was a roman.
Ger and told the story in order TO be
taken from Texas and grought to La
porte. 1t is possible that Truelson
may be brought here because of fea
lures of his confession bearing strik
| ing resemblance to the Lamphere
confession.

NAT|ONALISTS TO
HAVE BALANCE
OF POWER
Conservatives Thus Hope to
Defeat Liberals
CANNOT WIN THEMSELVES
Have Abandoned Hope Of Being Able
to Obtain Complete Control OF
Parliament

London, Jan 17.-Sunday has CIV
en- welcome respite for the strenu-
GUS work at the election stations and
an opportunity for calm reflection
over the prospects of both parties
striving to gain control of the gov
eminent. The greatest animation
prevaileds6.6-
prevails at the rendezvous OF polite
ians and Saturdays results are dis
cussed from every possible view
point.
Although both sides preserve an
air of confidence, it was evident thar
the Conservatives have at least aban-
doned hope that their part will form
the next government. The utmost
they dare expect is that the Liberal
majority will be so reduced in the
next Parliament as to place the Lib
erals at the mercy of the National
lists.
Mr.. Balfour, leader of the opposit-
ion in the House of Commons in a
speech some days ago said that the
great political issues now in Question
would not be settled by one general
election, and perhaps not by two,
Clearly the ex-premier accu. j
measured the situation and the hopes
of the tariff reformers must now be
centered upon some future general
election
At the close of the voting the
standing of the various parties inclu
ding uncontested seats was:
Unionists, 43; Liberals, 81; Labor
ties, s; Nationalists, 5.
Union gains, IS; Liberal gains, ).
Labor gains over Liberals, 1; mt
change, 60.
OF the twelve seats contested in
London the Liberals held seven and
the Unionists five, three of the latter
being gains in North Lambeth, Brix
ton and Fulham.
In the provinces the Unionists gain
ed Southwest Manchester, Staly
bridge, Salisbury, Rochester, Burn
ley, two seats in Davenport, Cam
bridge, Yarmouth, Gloucester, VOL
northampton, West and South Wed
nesburg and two seats in Bath
The Liberals won Manchester
(Northwest) Darlington and Grimsby
The labor gain was in East Man
chester.
AS forecasted, an unprecedented
number of electors came to the polls
An average of ga per cent of the reg
isttred electors voted. This increas
in the voting strength seems to hav,
been largely cast on the Unionis
side. In London the twelve seat
contested gave an aggregate increas
of 12,S45 to the Unionist vote and
slight increase to the Liberals Will
the provinces increased the Unions
vote 45,942 and the Liberal vote onl
4513. This increase is a source O
the greatest satisfaction to the Ur
ionist press as showing the rapi
growth in favor of tariff reform. Tn
editorials in the morning newspaper
take up an attitude of tempered er
thusiasm on both sides, regardin
Saturdays results as good DegiT
ming, which should serve to provolS
the adherents of the respective pa
ties to renewed energy.

They were poor cootss Do you think
he'd dare to tell the women nova
days to keep silence in the churches
and to learn wisdom from their hus
bands at home? Not much He'd be
on their side. The time has come,
| tell you, when women are going t
declare themselves. They intend t
have their say whenever there is any
