armiStice had been declared.
In 1895 Cronje frustrated the Jane
son raid at Krugersdorp. At the be-
ginning of the war between the Beers
and the British in 1899 he was placed
in command of the Boer army of the
west, the Orange Free State forces.
He directed the sieges of Mafeking
and Kimberley. After numerous and
CALLING reverses the British govern
ment sent out Field Marshal Lord
Roberts and General Lord Kitchener,
with many thousands of fresh troops,
to overwhelm the hardy Beers. Cronje
and his forces were brought to bay at
d point on the Modder river, near
Paardeberg, where their position was
impregnable to assault, but greatly
exposed to artillery fire from the sur
siege Cronje's 5000 men had suffered
SO much that they would endure no
nj Ore and the Boor general was forced
to surrender, on February 81.
At St. Louis Exposition.
The British government sent Cronje
to St. Helena, but after the war re-
leased him. With a picked force of
his army associates he gave exhibit
tiOns of Boer methods of drill and
warfare at the Louisiana Purchase ex-
position in 1904. He owned several
thousand acres of land and was con-
sidered one of the wealthy men of
I South Africa.
A. Conan Doyle, in his book. THE
Great Boer War paid. tribute to
Cronje's ability, though criticising him
somewhat severely, as was perhaps
| natural in q British writer. as fol-
lows:
"Commandant Cronje was at the
time of the war 65 years of age. hard
swarthy man, quiet of manner, fierce
of soul, with a reputation among a
nation of resolute men for unsurpas-
sed resolution. His dark face was
bearded and virile, but sedate and gen
| tie in expression. He spoke little, but
what he said was to the point. In
\ hunting expeditions and in native wars
| he had first won the admiration of his
countrymen by his courage and his
! fertility of resource. In the war of
1880 he had led the Beers who be-
| sieged Potchefstroom, and he had
pushed the attack with a relentless
vigor which was not hampered by the
chivalrous usages of war. Eventually
place by concealing from the garrison
| that a general armistice had been
| signed, an act which was afterward
disowned by his own government
I'm the succeeding years he lived as
an autocrat and a patriarch amid his
farms and his herds, respected by
many and feared by all. For a time
he was native commissioner and left
a reputation for hard dealing behind
him. Called into the field again by
the Jameson raid. he grimly herded
his enemies into an impossible posi-
ton and desired, as it is stated. thai
the hardest measure should be dealt
out to the captives. This was the
man, capable, crafty. iron hard, mag
netc who lay with reinforced and for
midable army across the path Of
Lord Methuen's tired soldiers"
In his later days Cronje lived {
1 retired life, taking no part in polite.
and aequiescing silently in British
domination of his native land.

Missouri state House Destroyed by Fire Last Night

at $1,000,000 with no insurance.
Lightning which struck the cupola Of
the dome shortly after O'Clock, spread
the flames to the roof of the house of
representatives on the north side of the
structure and in less than a half hour
it was apparent that the building was
doomed.
Because of the inadequacy of the wa
ter pressure. the fire could not be
reached, and no aid could be rendered
for some time by the local fire COM
pany.
Governor Hadley personally directed
the fight against the flames, which, be-
cause of the age of the building, rap
idly gained great Roadway. The peni-
Tertiary fire department was called to
the scene and the convicts worked he
roically, scaling walls and taking dan
gerouS chances.
The local military company was call
ed out and formed a Gordon around
the building, driving spectators from
dangerous positions and removing rec
ords.
The fire soon spread to the roof of
the senate chamber. where the efforts
OF the firemen to check it proved I'M
awaiting.
Records Destroyed.
The records of the present house of
representatives were destroyed, while
those of the senate were saved In the
state treaSurer'S office more than 500, 900
Is in the time vault, supposedly fire
proof, and may be saved when the
debris is cleared away. There was no
insurance.
The capitol was erected in 1888 at a
cost of S35O,000. and in 1887 remodeled
at a cost Of $4,000. While it was built
of stone, the roof was covered with
much infiammable material which fed
the flames which spread rapidly with
the falling of the dome into the main
part of the structure.
The legislature will determine today
whether to continue it's session here or
elsewhere in the state. Some of the
members favor continuing the session
here where smaller buildings have been
offered by the business men, while 9TH
erS are for the removal of the legisIa-
ture. The loss of the house records
practically necessitates the work of the
present session being done over.
Governor Hadley said he would grant
pardons to several convicts who risk
ed their lives to save state papers.

BIRD MEN AS SCOUTS.
Z. S. Governments to Use Aeroplanes
Along Mexican Border

Washington, Feb. 6.-The capture
by the Mexican revolutionists of San
Ignacio. a town opposite Fort Han
cock, Tex, is reported to the state
department in a telegram from the
American consul at Ciudad Porfirio
Diaz. So far as an aeroplane can dis
cover General Hoyt, commander of
Texas, will probably be in a position
soon to determine the facts as to the
activities of the insurgents along the
Mexican border. At present owing to
conflicting reports and absurd and ex-
travagant claims on the part of rival
leaders and their public mouth pieces
the United States army officers who
are doing their best to maintain the
neutrality law in force on the Mexican
border, find the task difficult and the
troops are continually making wild
goose chases after military expeditions
reported to be crossing the Rio
Grande, which rarely materialize.
In the meantime when the troops
are on these false scents, it is pre-
sumed that armed parties make their
way across the river at unguarded
points. Today General Wood, chief of
staff, let it be known that at least one
aeroplane would be employed in OBJ
servation work along the Rio Grande.
This decision was reached after a con-
sultation with General Allen, chief sig
nal ocer, who is in charge of the aero
nautical service of the war departm eBt,
and John Barry Ryan. president of the
United States aeronautical reserve.
| The war department has accepted
Robert Golfers offer of one of his new
Wright biplanes, which is now in New
York, and this will be rushed to the
Mexican border by express and turned
over to General Hoyt. The reserve is
prepared to furnish other machines for
military use at short notice and if the
Collier biplane proves to be of real ser
vice it will be supplemented by at least
| a half dozen others. With that num-
Der of machines soaring constantly
over the crooked channel of the Rio
Grande and back into the country
where the expeditions may be organic
| ing, it is believed the military will be
liable practically to establish an impene-
ttrable patrol along the border.

RECTOR'S is HELD UP.
Fashionable Restaurant Robbed of
$4,000 in Cash.

Chicago, Feb. 6.-Rector's restaurant,
one of the best known of Chicago's
downtown cafes, was held up Sunday
morning and the cashier robbed of 3d.
800 by a masked man who pointed two
revolvers at the employees, secured the
receipts of Saturday night and escaped.
He overlooked over 81 900 in currency.
The restaurant is owned by the Rec
tor corporation, of which Charles E.
Rector. of New York, is an official 1t
is in the downtown theater district and
has large patronage of after-theater
diners.
The robbery took place soon after 9
o'clock when only the cashier and
head waiter were in the main dining
room. A well dressed man entered and
inquired for a man who he said was a
former employee. Before Cashier Ad-
ans could answer the robber drew two
revolvers from his pocket and ordered
both to hold up their hands. He then
ordered Adams to give him the money
from the cash drawer.
After handing the robber several
packages OF bills, Adams said that was
all he had, but was forced to open the
safe and take out other money.

SENATE NOTES.

It is possible that no effort will be
made by the insurgent senators this
afternoon to Gust the claims and ac-
counts committees on the grounds that
it was appointed in direct violation of
the statutes. The stand pa members
of the senate declare they discovered
their error a few days after the COM
mittees were named but that it was
then too late to back up. 1t was Avery
of Wakefield who discovered the rights
of the presiding officer ana sprung the
new found section of the statutes A
few hours after the Avery find, Frank
Travis of Allen called attention to the
fact that the law was passed by the
1909 session of the legislature and that
Avery and all of the insurgent mem
bers voted for the act. which was
known as house bill No. 20.
At that time there was, less agita-

committees than in the 1910 campaign
and no opposition developed to the bill.
