The Kpworth league Meeting.
The war in the Tr insvaal with all
its possibilities was discussed graphic
ally l 'et night at the regular business
and social meeting f the Epwortb
L ague at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
Henry Mauzy. There was a larpe at-te-d'nce
and th program was of sur
passing interest to those who are
watching the war in the far southland.
Mrs. M. H'.w and gave the first talk.
She had accurate maps of the Trans-
vail country and gave her hearers a
clear idea of the land and its contigu
ous territory. After the geographi
cal and physical peculiarities were
thoroughly assimilated, C. S. Polk
took ud the thread of the story and
told of the early settlement, the char
acter of the people flghtiDg for liberty
with a desperation heroically against
fearful odds, and of the political rela
tions of the Boers. He clearly demon
strated that, viewed from a legal
standpoint, the British had no more
right to make war on the Boors than
any other country, as by the terms of
the last treaty between the British
and the Boei s the former relicquished
all tight to interfere in any way with
the latter except to ratify or disap
prove of any treaties promulgated.
By the tenor of his speech it was
plainly seen that Mr. Polk's sympa
thies were as is the case with nearly
every American citizen witn tne
weaker nation battling for liberty and
national life. Rev. M '. Sleeih closed
the story by prophesying a gloomy de
noument. "What would you think of
Douglas county declai ing war aeainst
,hB British emoire?" was the first

Broke His lg.
William Neville, jr., who has been
assisting his father on tho Alliance ex
tension of the Burlington, met with a
rather painful accident lest Mo day
while helping to unload a heavy piece
of iron from a car. It fell on his right
leg in such a manner as to break the
bone in two places below the knee.
He was brought home Saturday

injured member.

PALACE FOR JAPAN'S PRINCE.

From the New York Tribune: The
architect to the Imperial household of
Japan has come to New York to buy
steel to be used In the frame work of
the new nalace for the Omwn Prinr
"will be one of the finest. If not the

thrown up with such astonishing ra-
pldity as in America. In Japan we re-
quire more time, but the building of
the palace will be unusually slow be
cause of the intricate work to be put
on it. It will be in the Italian renais
sance style, and In the decoration I
shall endeavor to combine what Is
best of Japanese art and of European
and American art as well. It is likely
that we 8ha Import some carvers
from America, but it is too soon to dis-
cus3 that subject, for the building will
not be ready for decoration for sev
notice that the price of steel is stead-
rising, and I am afraid that my
purchases here may run up as high as
$300,000. As soon as the material for
the framework arrives work on the

Oh, the Pain of
Rheumatism!
Rheumatism often causes the most in
tense suffering. Many have for years
vainly sought relief from this disabling
disease, and are to-day worse off than
ever. Rheumatism is a blood disease,
and Swift's Specific is the only cure, be
cause it is the only remedy which can
reach such deep-seated diseases.
A few years ago I was taken with inflamma
tory Khpumatisin, which lrcanie so Intense
that I was for weeks unable to walk. I tried
several prominent physi
cians and took their treat
ment faithfully, but was
unable to get the slight
est relief. In fact, my con.
dition seemed to grow
worse, the disease spread
over my entire body, and
from November to March
I suffered apnny. I tried
many patent medicines,
but none relieved me.

friend I decided to trv
