His majesty la entering the period of
convalescence. A nurse and his boly
physician are In constant attendance,
but the empress has not ceased her
watchful care and Is attending person
Lily to the wants of her husband. In
Ipite of the strain her majesty shows
no signs of fatigue and enjoys good
aeallb. 6he looks remarkably well.
The czarina bus submitted to her all
urgent state affairs, so that any com
munication for the emperor passes
through her hands. Nobody sets the

terview with Mr. Kelts, Transvaal sec
retary of state, was cabled to this city,
in which the secretary said- that the

era would emigrate with their famil
ies to the United States. The publica

A SURPRISE
RENEWAL OF HOSTILITIES IN
'.SOUTH AFRICA.
SHOCKS THE ENGLISH
Were Under the Impression That
the War Waa Over-- Public
Qulzthe War Department.
' London, Dec. 1. South Africa once
monopolizes attention. The public
is cghast at General Dewet's recent
success at Dewetedorp, where he cap
tured the British garrison of 400 men
and two guns, as already cabled to the
Associated Press In detail.
"Is this guerrilla warfare?" the lib
eral papers Ironically Inquire. "Why,"
is asked on all sides, "are these troops
coming heme?"
Parliament not being in session, the
public is not favored with any in
sight into the war olflce opinions and
pltin. But It is credited with varying
Ideas from phillsophlc indifference to
acute panic. A representative of the
Associated Press Interviewed one. of the
responsible heads of departments and
elicited the following views:
"Undoubtedly the situation in South
Africa is serious. It resembles in many
ways America's trouble with the Filip
inos. We cannot expect to crush out
opposition for some time to come."
There is a noticeable Incuslon of Fil
ipinos into London and Paris. The re
port, subsequently denied, that Agon
c!o!!o, Acnlmildo's acent In Europe,
was contemplating going to Hong Kong
to reorganize there the Flilplno trans
port and resupply the Filipinos with
munitions (if war, hns given rise to the
the belief that the Filipinos In Europe
ire contemplating a hew campaign. A
reporter of the Associated Press haa
interviewed one of tiie most prominent
members of the European Junta, who
hns Just returned from Paris and Ma
drid. He paid: "We are plannin. no
new campaign. There Is no reason why
Agonelllo hould go to Hong Kong
to give the Filipinos a further supply
of munitions of war. The fact that Ag
onelllo hns Just leased a home In Paris
shows he Intends to remain there and
watch events. The reports of our com
mittees at Kobe, Yokohama, Maceo,
Batavia, Hong Kong and Bangkok
show they are all working well. This
Is also evidenced by the fact that 10,
,1.00 rifles were smuggled into Manila
bir.t month. The war is no nearer an
end than ever. The Filipino resources
are still great, as can be Judged by the
fart that Agulnnldo Is continuing to

"We are deeply disappointed at the
re-election of Mr. McKlnley. Although
our a;;ents in the United States never
led us to believe Mr. Bryan would ac

Htrenglh cf the nnti-lmperialipts In the
United States. We are still anxious
to come to an understanding and there
are Indications that Mr. McKlnley fa
vors a comprom'se. it is clear that
Judge Tnft goes beyond his lnstructl0is

SOUTH OMAHA MARKET REPORT.
As Reported by the Plato Commit,
elon Co of South Omaha.
South Omaha, Neb., Dec. 1.
There has been a very heavy shrink,
age in cattle receipts the past week an j
the totals today show a loss of 12,000
from last week and 6,000 less than for
the same week last year. The offerings
of corn fed cattle have been consid
erably smaller this week than antici
pated, while the run of western stec-rs
still continue heavier than looked for.
Although there was an abundance of
poultry and game on the markets for
Thanksgiving, the cattle market haa
shown a steady Improvement the past
week, on nearly ail grades of steers.
The light, well matured cattle show pn
advance of fully 10 to 15 cents while the
half fat stuff has found a much more
active market and more ready sale than
for some time past. The heavy weight
cattle have no more than held their
own on account of the bearish feel ins
at eastern and English markets.
The supply of cow etuff has been
very limited the past week and dealers
did not have very much trouble in dis
posing of their holdings at prices 1J
to 0 cents higher than last week. Veal
calves sold lower the early part of the
week but recovered the loss the last
three (lays. Bulls and stags have been
good sellers at strong prices.
As was the caHe in other lines the
supply of stockers and feeders haa
been rather limited and prices show an
advance of 10 to 1.1 cents over last week
with the demand fiom country buyer.-
very good. There has been more in
quiry for the medium and light weight
cattle than for Home time and very
few of that kind are left in the yards.
The past week has been a disappoint
ing one for dealers, each clay of th!
weik, with tiie exception of Thursday,
showing a loss and t!i vvtck ciocs
with prices fully 25 cents lower than
last week. There has been very III lit
margin between the price of the best
hogs and the poor ones, but buyers and
sellers seemed unable to coincide in
their views and the result has been
a rather slow market, but the close of
the week funis everything cleaned up

IOWA'S VOTE IS COUNTED.
Republican Majorities Overwhelm

Dea Moines. Dec. 4. The count oi

2,489. The plurality for McKlnley wai
2,489 more than for the head of th
state ticket.
There were 250 members of the Iowa
State Traveling Men's essoclaiton ir
attendance at the twentieth annual
meeetlng. President Wheeler made his
annual report, showing a substantial
increase In membership and genera
interest in the association. The report
of Secretary Haley showed that the
number of members admitted during
!he year wae 1,639 and reinstatements
15. There were dropped for nonpay
ment of dues 554, deaths reported, 68;
:anceled, 21, and resigned 19. The net
Increase was 1,022.
In a very short time there will be
i lively scramble among the represen
tatives of the various school book com
panies for business in Iowa. Fiva
years ago, when the law was new un
der which county or district uniformity
may be adopted, thirty-three of the
counties of Iowa took up the county
uniformity idea. Under this law the
sontracts were made for a period, of
five years. This period la now nearly
ended and the result is that in all
these thirty-three counties new con
tracts will be made and the county
boards will again have under consid
eration tho adoption of new series of
books. It opens the field for lively work
among the publishers. The startling
fact Is reported in this connection
that the school book business of the
state of Iowa does not amount to over
50o,000 a year and is not as large as
the cigarette trade haa been.

bankruptcy proceedings is to be tried
In Plymouth county. N. B. Miller of

Nic Mauer, the husband of the defend

court last spring and was properly dis
charged as a bankrupt. Among his
creditors was the plaintiff. Now the
latter brings suit against Mrs. Mauer
for the sum named on the ground that
the goods purchased were household

that as she has not been declared a
bankrupt he is entitled to Judgment
against her. She recently fell heir to

INAUGURAL BALL AT LINCOLN.
ivlll Bo Swellest Social Function ol
the Year.
Lincoln Dec. 4. Although no defi
nite "arrangements have-yet been mad
it is quite probable that the inauguarai
ball will be given in the Auditorium
an the evening of January 3. The prep
arations for this affair have been left
entirely to a committee consisting oi
Colonels C. J. Hills and G. E. JenkinE
of Fairbuiy, C. J. Mills of Hastings, J
Cameron Anderson of Omaha and
Charles M. Keefer of this city, ali
members of the new governor's military
staf. The ball will be preceded by a
reception for all of the new state of
ficials, at which even the staff com
mittee will likely be assisted by sev
eral Lincoln people. With Governor
Dietrich will be his daughter, who is
now in her sophomore year at Bryn
Mawr college. Miss Dietrich will spend
Ihe Qhrlstmas holidays with her father
nnd will probably remain after the in
augural ceremonies.
Lincoln people are looking anxiously
forward to the inaugural ball, which
will be the prim ipal function of the
year. The Auditorium gallery will com
fortably Kat 2,000 persons and this
portion of the building will be reserved
for spectators.
Nearly all of the state ofllcers-elect
who came to Lincoln to attend the
meeting last night remained over until
this afternoon. Mr. Dietrich spent the
morning in his room in consultation
with numerous applicants for positions,
iulte a'number of additional appoint
ments for the various state officers and
Institutions have practically been
agreed upon, but It Is not likely that
many of them will' be announced until
the conference of the new officials in
this city on December 14.

! LITERARY NOTES. ,
The always pathetic and as Invari
ably romantic subject of the "aban- -.
doned farm" of New Hampshire, fur-
nishes the background of "Mountain
Playmates," a story by Mrs. Helen B.
Albee, which was brought out late 1 -October
by Messrs. Houghton, Mifflin -&
Co. The "playmates" found their
home and playground on an abandoned
farm on a hilltop near Mount Chocura,
in New Hampshire. They "reclaimed"
the land with skill, energy, and pa
tience, made the house habitable, and
the farm partially profitable. Then, '
following the Roycroft example, titer
j took unto themselves other playmate
j and engaged in an industry Which titer
developed into an art, giving remunef
ative and satisfying employment to
many industrious women of the regltfll.
The book has a genial philosophy and a (
; bright humor, It describes a beautiful' i
; :ountry, and it narrates a story which-
1 carries one back to the work-spirit o f .
William Morris, and also reminaa one i
