War Ofltoa Inoreiuns Corps For Services
In South Africa Boer Score the FlrRt
Coup by Seizing IirltWh Gold Buiuor
of lloer fjlllmutain.
London, Oct. 5. The most interest
ing announcement in connection w ith
the Transvaal affair today is that the
chancellor of the exchequer, Right Hon.
Sir Michaol Hicks-Boab, has already
sanctioned the provisional . expenditure
of 3,000,000 and that the government
will not exceed that limit without au
thority from parliamont, which will be
anked to votea sum not exceeding 8,
000,000. A meeting of the war board discussed
and drew up arrangements to insure
the route from Durban to Laing's Nek,
so that large bodies of troops may, on"
disembarkation, be rapidly forwardod
up the country to the front without
confusion or crowding at the base. It
is stated that the war office has decided
that the army corps for service in South
Africa shall be much larger than origi
nally estimated and that it now consists
of over 40,000 men. The preparations
for the dispatch of this force, including
the dispatching of British liners, is
steadily and satisfactorily proceeding.
DltlnuUuiu to England.
The press association learns that the
dispatch drawn up by the cabinet on
Friday is still nnsent. On ' the other
hand a telegram from Brussels gives
from a well informed source the news
that Dr. Leyds, the representative in
Europe of the South African republic,
has received confirmation of the report
that President Eruger has addressed an
ultimatum to Great Britain, demand
ing the withdrawal of the British forces
from the frontier within 48 hours, and
that it was delivered on Monday. This
report still lacks official confirmation.
The confidence of the military author
ities at the Cape is shown by a dispatch
received from Cape Town, which states
that at a conference between the mili
tary authorities there and General Sir
Stewart White, Q. C, who will oora
mand the British forces in Natal, and
Lieutenant General Sir , Frederick
Walker, held to consider the situation.
General White expressed himself as
confident that the British would be able
to present a force sufficient to repel any
attack. ': .
A line steamer left Lourenzo Marquez,
Delagoa bay, yesterday with 1.200 Rand
refugees. Large numbers were left
behind and all trains are crowded with
those taking part in the exodus from
the Transvaal.
A dispatch front Yolksmst says the
Boer camp on the Natal border now
comprises 8,000 men and is growing
daily. The camp breathes religions
error. The commissariat arrangements
the dispatch says, are defective. One
t the largest corps lay la the veldt
without shelter daring a heavy thandtr
stem. Oommandant General. Joubert
is momentarily expected to assume
oommsnd of the Boer forces.
A special dispatch from Newcastle,
Natal, says: The Boers have left the
laager at Yolksmst and are moving
toward the frontier. The situation is
nest critical. The magistrates and
municipal officers hare assembled in
the town hall to concoct measures for
the defease of the town against an ex
pected attack. All the women and
children have been ordered to leave for
the interior of Natal.
XlUar Affahu War.
It kaaderstood that Sir, Alfred Mil
ner has not abandoned hope that the
powerful interests now at work in Pre
toria and Blosmfonteia may lead to the
arrest of mobilization of troops on both
sides and open the door to a peaceful
solution.
Other telegrams indicate that Boer
attack on Natal is expected at any time,
but assert that Commandant General
Joubert has threatened to shoot any
man who moves winWit orders.
The London morning papers are in
dined to regard the seisnre of gold by"
the Transvaal as an act of war.
No confirmation is obtainable that a
Boer nltlmatnm has been presented, but
the news oomes from what is usually
good Boer source. .
A dispatch from Johannesburg says
that State Secretary Beits of the Trans
vaal Informed a correspondent of the
Standard and Diggers' News that the
proclamation of martial law is being
delayed. In Cape Town the opinion
prevails that the delay of the Boers in
assuming the offensive points to a will
ingness on the part of the Transvaal
government to allow political counsel
to override military ardor.
Lord James of Hereford, writing to a
correspondent, expresses a fear that the
maintenance of peace is now impossible.
Sir EJgar Yinoent, speaking at Exe
ter yesterday, said he understood that
Sir Redrers Boiler did not expect the
war to be a short one.
Doer Seise the Oold.
Loir DOM, OA. ft. A special dispatch
from Pretoria says the Transvaal gov
ernment has seised gold to the value of
800,000, which is now lodged in the
state mint. The government, the dis
patch adds, will indemnify the banks
to whioh the gold is oousigned.
BusjtroifTXi!i, Oct. 5. The govern
ment publishes a telegram from Bosh of
stating that the British forces have
crossed the border and that fighting has
OQiumeuoed. - Another telegram says

FARMERS' CONGRES3.
Executive Committee to Select Jfeit Plaee
' of Meeting.
Boston, Oct. 5. The Farmers' Na
tional congress yentenlay amended the
constitution, placing the selection of
the place of meeting in the hands of
the ex cutive committee instead of by
agreement of the congress.
W. B. Powell of Shadeland, Pa., gave
the first address of the morning on 'In
ventions for Farmers," and the discus
sions which followed was largely on
the needs of better methods so as to
save the cost of artificial fertilizers.
At the afternoon session Bevoral reso
lutions were adopted. . W. S. Delano of
Lee Park, Neb., read a paper on "Prob
lems Confronting Farm Life."
'
' Judge Path a Boycott.
Kansas City, Oct. 5. The judges of
the Jackson county court sitting in this
city, have recognized the boycott inau
gurated by the business men of ' Kansas
City against the Burlington railroad.
The judges instructed the sheriff that
so long as the boycott is in force he
must not travel over that road in taking
insane patients to the state asylum at
St. Joseph. The fight on the Burling
ton, which was begun Saturday last as
a result of the Omaha differential, is
being pushed by local merchants.
Olandere Among; Government Stock.
Junction City, Kan., Oct. 5. Glan
ners has broken ont among the govern
ment stock at Fort Riley. Seventeen
horses were killed yesterday. Twenty
five cords of wood have been hauled out
to use in burning the carcasses. Five
veterinarians are busy examining the
stock and vaccinating , all not con
demned. The disease is supposed to
have been brought by mules shipped in
from the south last summer to pasture
on the reservation.
Urge Miner to Arm.
LeaviJnworth, Kan.; Oct. 5. A few
coal miners went to work yesterday. At
a large meeting of miners at Grand
Army hall, J. P. Reese of the National
Mine Workers' union, advocated driv
ing capitalists into the ocean and said
among other things: "I say a miner's
kit is not complete unless it contains a
rifle." Reese said the operators had
offered 72 cents a ton, bnt he urged the
miners to hold out for 76.
Shot Bride and Bridegroom.
Montgomery, Mo., Oct. -5. Newi

A Great Succkk.
Editor Independent: It was the good
fortune of the writer to spend the church
Lour last Sunday afternoon at the Girls'
Industrial School at Geneva. They hud
been favored by a visit from Governor
Poynter a few days before and only re
gretted that the tihortness of his stey
made it impossible for the girls to ren
der a literary program which had been
arranged in his honor. The various pas
tors of the city take turns in conducting
the church services, and that day it was
by Kev. Mr. Colony, of the M. E.
Church. A helpful sermon, with illus
trations all could understand, was given,
while teachers and pupils sung "with
(he Kpifit and the understanding." The
writer added a few words at the close
md all joined the closing hymn. All
were in Sunday attire, and. happy faces
and fresh" young voices made a pleasant
eicture. ; . ... . .
A day or two before - we made the
mind of the building and examined the
work done by the inmates. Every de
partment is in a flourishing condition
;ind the work done the very best. Cook
ng, sewing, laundry work, dormitory,
every thing necessary to good house
keeping is taught by competent teach
ers and the . results are . surprising. . I
saw buttonholes made by a tot of seven
ihatmade me J)lush and patch work
quilts that would fill any heart with de
light Jellies, preserves-, pickles and
canned fruit are in the store room all
made by the girls under the direction of
fhe cooking teacher while they have not
neglected to raise a goodly amount of
garden stuff. , : , . .
All go to school a part of each day and
the school with its teacher would com
pare favorably with any of our city
schools. Over all this is the matron, the
"first mate" who keeps things ship-shape.
Superintendent Webber and his able
and accomplished wife have the good of
the interests of the institution at heart
and his plan of managing the school,
while somewhat original is successful,
lie has the love and good will of the in
mates and is more like a father than an
officer. He accomplishes by kindness,
what was done sometimes before by the
rod, and the system of self-goyernment
which exists largely among the inmates
puts every one on their good behavior.
I have great hopes of the happy futures
of many of these girls who are more
sinned against than sinning. Both Mr.
and Mrs. Webber seem peculiarly fitted
for this work and it was a wise judg
ment which placed them there.

' This league was organized in 1895,
as arj outgrowth of three other political
units wh cb entertained vies in com
tuon. At that time not so much inter,
est was taken in social and econom c
qutstions, and the work of tbe charter'
members was difficult, but they knew
thai to expound their doctrine meant
the triumph ot their cause, They he
gun the work in earne.-t, and through
their 1 radical activity the league ha
hue grown to he tne strongest in ihe
univcrsiti, tout wohth proud to repres

t egold standard club could not muster

THE LOWEST DEFTH. ,'
The republican press in this state has
at last gotten down' into the mire deeper
than the most rabid populist ever sup
posed that it would.' In the Sarpy
County Herald's account of Mr. Bryan's
speech at that place occurs the follow
ing sentence:
"Then the brave- "Coloner returned
to Howard's and went to bed, whether
to sleep off the egects of a jag or not, we
are unable to say. It was while he was
in this condition that the lady teachers,
of our schools took the notion that a
hearty shake of Bryan's hand would fill
a long-felt want."
The name of the editor of that paper
is E. W. Beedle.
