The B iiish ontr nchinents are be

bridge is almost completed.
Heavy rains have fallen in the hills
recently and tho fords of Itolt river
are all impassable. It is reported that
it will be necessary to relay the rails
ovor almost the entire distance from
Modder river to Kiunberley, the Boers
having used the rails and sleepers in
building their fortifications. Stories
still reach camp that the Free Staters
desire to end the war. Tho latest re
port is that a council wa? held re
cently at Bloemfoi toin, at which Pres
ident Styn aid General Cronje were
present. It was then stated that un
less the British began the attack by
January 17 the Free Staters would re
turn home. The enormous difilculty
tho Boers must xperience in provis

is far from the railway he .d, is very
evident.
Troop Lose Confidence In Methuen.
LONDOX,Jan 16. Evidence accumu
lates that General Methuen's blunder
at Magersfontein has lost him the con
fidence of bis entire force to such an
extent that, it is declared, it is doubt
ful if tho troops would follow him in
another attack on tho Boers.
The war office is understood to be in
possession of p. letter written by Gen
eral Wauchopo the night before the
battle, saying that would be the last
letter ho would ever write, as he had
been asked to perform an impossible
task, and he had either to obey or sur
render his sword.
An immediate change in the com
mand of the force may therefore be ex
pected. It is anticipated In some
quarters that Lieutenant General
Tucker will succeed General Methuen.
The complete absence of news from
Natal proves that the censorship will
allow nothing to pass until General
Buller's plans aro executed or have
failed. Even General Roberts, in his
report of yesterday evening, refrained
from mentioning a word about Natal
or General Buller. From the other
columns there is little news of mo
ment. Modder river advices of yester
day's date only report daily long range
shelling, from which the Boers are
supposed to have suffered severely.
A dispatch from Sterkatroem, dated
Monday, January 15, reports that Gen
eral Gatacre's troops had made a dem
onstration beyond Molteno, in the di
rection of Stormberg, in the belief
that the Boers intended to seize Mol
teno. The burghers were not sighted
and the British remained at Molteno.
Arrivals from Stormberg estimate
that there are 4,500 Boers at that
place, mostly revolted colonists and
Free Staters. President Steyn's
brother is the landdrost.
General French continues to shell

RAILROAD NOTES AND PERSONALS
From Wednesday's Dally
A epecial from Dead wood says; "The
Burlington Railway company has an
nounced that it will put on a through
train from Omaha to the Pacific coast,
by way of Elgemont, Billings and Se
attle, in the spring. Stopping privil
eges will be given at Edge root, t ' and
the' company proposes to push tourist
traffic to the Hills during the season."
Vard master Chet Manchester of the
Burlington went to Lincoln this after
noon.
Burlington trains are now running
across the bridge to Bridgeport, the
first station on the North Platte river.
south of Alliance. Bridgeport will un
doubtedly be tho county seat when
Cheyenne county is divided. At pres
ent the county is in size about as
large as three counties in Eastern Ne
braska. and Bridgeport is nearly in
the center of the northern half.
The transaction of business in the
Burlington yards in Lincoln Is facill
tatod bv the use of threo circuits of
private telephone lines, on which
nearly twenty telephones are placed.
The company buys the 'phones out
right, puts them in and uses them as
its own. They save a great deal that
would otherwise be spent for messen
eror service, and allow the men to
transact their buaiuess mare rapidly.
Within the last few davs quite a
number of udditional men have been
put o'l ut the shops.
At Minot, N. D , a strike of serious
pro(ortions is threatened by freight
train operators of the Great Northern
railway. A meeting of trainmen has
been held, and it was decided to go out
unless a modification of the rule lately
introduced compelling freight crews
to do switching at terminal points was
granted. In case the men go out the
entire system will be affected.
A boycott has been declared by the
order of railway telegraphers against
the Colorado & Southern road on ac
count of the refusal of the management
to accede to the demands of the oper
ators regarding wages and working
hours.
The traveling passenger agent of
the Illinois Central railroad has made
arrangements to celebrate that road's
through Chicago service by bringing
to Omaha an excursion of newspaper
men from all the towns between Du
buque and Omaha. It is said there
will be about fifty newspaper men in
the party.
D. C. Woodring, superintendent of
bridges for the B. & M., was in town
today on company business.
Muster Mechanic H. J. Helps went
to Omaha this afternoon.
The Burlington has issued a watch
inspection order which will effect the
conductors and engineers of that road.
After February .1 each watch must be
taken to a designated inspector at the
nearest division point and gone over :
. m . v. a.'
once each quarter auring me nrst
week in February, May, August and
November. If found up to the re
quired standard a card certifying to
this fact and thoroughly identifying
the watch will be given the owner.
Tnis card must constantly be carried
with" the watch. This ne rule is
made with the idea of decreasing the
number of accidents caused by miscal
culations of time and defective watches.
Superintendent of Motive Power D.
Ilawksworih left on the early train
this morning for a trip through the
western part of the state.
General baggage agents now are
voting upon the proposition recently
made at a meeting of the executive
officers of roads in the western pas
senger association to cease the check
ing of unlocked articles as baggage.
The general impression is that the
western roads will adopt the proposi
tion. A great many persons would
complain against a rule disqualifying
telescopes and other lockless things
from the list of legitimate baggage.
It is claimed that the roads should
agree not to check unlocked articles
in justice to themselves. If telescopes
were thrown out of the list there
would be fewer claims for the value of
articles presumably lost in transit.
Hereafter truuks weighing over 250
pounds will not be checked as baggage,
but must be Bhlpped by express or
freight.
His Life Was Saved.
Mr. J. E. Lilly, a prominent citizen
of Hannibal, Mo., lately had a won
derful deliverance from a frightful
death. In telling of it he says: "I
was taken with typhoid fever, that
ran into pneumonia. .My lungs be
came hardened. I was. so weak 1
couldn't even sit up in bed. Nothing
helped me. I expected to soon die of
consumption, when I heard of Dr.
King's New Discovery. One bottle
gave ureal relief. I continued to use
it, and am now well and strong, I can't
say too much in its praise.'.' This

It will be remembered that several
weeks ago Marshal Slater received a
telegram from the sheriff at Kohoko,
Mo., asking him to arrest and hold
Prof. Blair, the magnetic healer. The
marshal followed instructions, and in
due time the Missouri officer arrived
and took the eentleman to Koboka. It
now develops that Hon. J. G. Blair,
father of the professor and cx-con
gressman of the First Missouri dis

the facts relative to tho recent arrest
of his son.
It is alleged that tho arrest was
made without a warrant by Chief
Slater, and, it is said, a suit will be
brought bv Mr. Blair against the
chief and his bondsmen in the United

A New Telegraph Line.
The Omaha correspondent in today's
Lincoln Journal has tho following to
6 ay in regard to the extension of the
Postal Telegraph company's lines to
PlaMsmouth and Nebraska City :
"The Postal Telegraph company has
just completed a new line to Platts-
mouth and Nebraska City and within
the next week or two will open offices
in both cities. The location in Ne
braska City has been chosen and the
work of preparing it for occupancy is
going on.
"The new line will terminate, tem
porarily, at Nebraska City, although
it is believed to be the ultimate inten
tion to extend it as far as Kansas City
by way of Atchison, taking in a num
ber of lively little Nebraska and Kan
sas towns on the way. This, when
completed, will make the second line
of this company between KanshS City
and Omaha. A recent purchase of
6,000 miles of copper wire is believed
to be significant of the commence
ment of heavy construction work in
the near future, but the head office
has so fir given no intimation as to
what new field is to be invaded."

An Unfortunate Lad.
The twelve-jTsar-old son of Ad Boe-
deker of Maple Grove was taken to
Omaha Tuesday to have his leg am
putated. The boy and one of his
friends attended the fire tournament
at the metropolis last fall and were
quite Impressed with the rapidity with
which the firemen hitched and un
hitched their horses, so thought when
they goi home they would attempt
similar feats. Coming in with a load
of hay one evening they scrambled
down as quickly as possible, just as
they would were there a fire to put out,
and in their haste the Boedeker boy
hit his knee on the single-tree, inflict
ing a wound which has finally made it
necessary for him to have the limb
amputated.

A Surprise Party.
The home of E. B. Perry was the
scene of a very pleasant little surprise
party last evening. A number of
friends of the family planned the
affair, and when the party called at
the Perry home and announced their

SCHOOL NOTES.
The brick work (veneering) on the
new high school buiiding began this
morning. Several gentlemen were
down from Omaha yesterday looking
over the steam plant and making cal
culations relative to connecting it with
the building.
No high school in the state has a
more gentlemanly and ladylike collec
tion of pupils than the Plattsmouth
high school, and notwithstanding the
crowded and uncomfortable conditions,
they have, as a whole, done the most
excellent work during the entire term,
and have put up with the conditions
without complaint, although they are
put to considerable inconvenience. It
will be a source of immense relief when
the climbing up and down stairs, to
reach the top floor, and also between
classes, can be avoided, and the pupils
can have a room capable of seating
them all. Then they will not have to
be seated in recitation rooms as at
present, and thus be disturbed every
period by having to give up their seats
to classes reciting.
