Although some of the younger com manders thought the old soldier want ing in dash and enterprise, his raid into the country south of the Tugelu Is considered the best piece of Uotr leadership during the whole war.

For a few days, a-lthough in the presence o greatly su perior forces, he isolated General Mill iard's brigade at F.stcourt and at the same time threatened General P.arton' tamp at Moot river.

The board Is due to meet Thursday to consider the tentative orders reducing live Ktock and grain rates. The attorney general said that if the present status quo is maintained he will ask that these orders, so far as they affect the l"nion Pacific and Mis souri Pacific against which roads he is proceeding for violations of the max imum rate law. be dismissed. This hands the .would be done In order that the state may trot be placed in the position of seeking to enforce two rates against the same road at the same time. Mr. Smyth said further that he hud discovered an old and burled Injunc tion against the enforcement of the maximum rate law, secured by the Rook Island in jvi.'!. As the injunc tion has never been dismissed or ap pealed it still stands, and the suit un der (he maximum rate law against this road will probably be quashed, "if," s.tid the attorn y general, "we can en force the maximum rate against but one road, say the Union Pacific, com petitinn will do the rest." Smyth's motion to dismiss, however, will probably meet with opposition in the board meeting.

In the Philip pines, writes his parents in this city, under date of February 111, from ful amba, a graphic account of the a ri llees of life and the suffering experi enced by his company. The company left permanent camp on New- Year's day and in the thirty-nine days following tramped over S'K) miles. engaged in seven battles am) eighteen or twenty skirmishes, and came back with only t enty-thi ee able-bodied men out of the 100 that started, the sick and wounded being left at every town along the route. January 2 they started from Majay zaya to IjUcahou over the mountains. The roads were very poor the lirst day and on the day following were almost impassable. Filipinos were thick. On the 31st they took .Malaban and secured Spanish prisoners, camping on the beach. Following up the beach for five day they exrtenced all the honors of starvation. The lirst march took them Jo Antiman. where they ere to have been supplied with rations, but through niine blunder none were there. They started for Teyal.os. twenty-seven miles across the mountains. Feb ruary Z and 1 they climbed moiiutains all day ' w itlmut fond, the boys con stantly falling exhausted to be picked up and carried by their companions. On the last day before reaching their destination they shot a number of w ild hogs and water buffalo, which savedrj many frm death by starvation, lnir ing all this time lighting was continu ous. A letter received about the same time from Arthur Hansen, another Fremont boy with the above company, gives further particulars concerning the death of Will New Ion. Hansen says that the fatal shot was II red at II o'clock at night after a bard day's mulch In a treadi'-rous country, it was bright moonlight and New l.n. w ho was a little fagged out from the hardships under gone, stood In the open in the light of the moon, leaning on his rifle.

An American Couple Become En gaged By Cable. lH-g Moines, la., April 3. State Treas arcr John Herrloit has furnished to the press a r.niatk.ible arraignment of Governor Shaw and his colleagues of the executive council of Iowa. It con sists of a protest against the recently finished assessment of the railroads and against otter assessments which have been made in recent years. The assessment is made by the ex-.H-utive council, which consists of Gov-:-rnr Shaw, Secretary of State lobson, Auditor of State Mer riam and Tr. asur r Ilerriott. Treasurer HerrMt, ever smie h" Mas a member of the council, ias Insisted that the railroads should be assessed at a higher rale than at pres ent. When the present assessment came up he proposed that the assess ment ,e made on a basis of gloss earn ings. Auditor M.riiam has b-.-n very si. k and came back from Texas to take part in the assessment, bis vote bemg required to give the opposition to Herrloit a majority. Men lain was unable to go to rhe Hale house, so the council met in his room at a hotel and made the assess ment. Herrloit refused to art. -rid a meeting of the council outside the state house. He particularly Insists that the f'hieugo & Northwestern has been a favorite of the ruuix.il and makes the same charge to a lesser extent regard ing the Chicago, Burlington ft Qulnoy. In the course of his protest. Treasurer Ilerriott says: "JSoyond peradventure the attorney In thief of the Iowa division of the northwestern (referring to Judge Hub bard rif idar ltaplds). for the benefit of which our state government seems to be organized, earns his salary and his keen." Again Herrloit says: "I think the people of Iowa will be perplexed to determine whether stu pidity or downright dishonesty pre dominates the executive council of the "tale." Treasurer Herrloit Is particularly re vere on the governor. ii says: "I am ashamed of what has taken place.

He was elected ice president of the Transvaal in 18:.'6, (feteated Sir George Colley at Majuba hill la 1S8I, and acted as president .of the republic In 188.1-84, during Kruger's absence in Europe. ieueral Joubert was always In favor ef the use of force instead of diplo macy, and President Kruger on several ccasions had great difficulty In repres sing his hot-headed colleague, notably in 1S79, when Joubert, with Kruger and Pretorius, was planning the rebellion to overthrow British rufe in the Trans Taal. The result was Majuba" hill and the practical independence of the Transvaal. It was Joubert who organized the army in the South African republic later on, dividing the country into sev enteen military departments and each of these departments Into smaller di Tmns, with commandants, field cor nets and lieutenants of various ranks In charge.

To such a point f perfection was the system carried that within forty-eight hours after the present war wa declared the Boer na tion was under arms.

Chicago, III., April 1. City boys and girls who never have wen growing cab bages, pumpkins, corn, potatoes, spin ach and other garden produce may soon have an opportunity to supply the de ficiency In their education. The School Teachers' club has asked the West Park board to set aside three or four acres In one of the '.arks where vege tables may be raised by the school children. Frank K. Tremain Is at the head of the movement. The teachers think this will be a great advantage for young city chil dren, who think that grasshoppers make grass and that but It-idles make butter. There are many children, they say, who. believe that potatoes grow on the hushes and who d i riot know whether watermelons come from the water works or grow on trees. Yet th'-ie same children can find the common de nominator of things and recite the I multiplication table up fo seven times seven. Some of them can count 100 backwards. The Teachers' club thinks that vegetable study will round nut the young Idea better and prevent the child later on from making embrtrrnss Ing "speeches" during his rummer out ing In the country. He will be able to talk crops to the farmers and dispel the Impression lhat prevails In agri cultural districts that city bred chil dren exist only to consume bon bona.
