The General Issues an Address to Hi. Men Saying There Could be Ko Turn ing Back The First Skirmish IB AVor. by the British. Gon. Bailor's successful effort to gel his army across the Tugcla river evi dently \\as planned with care. The Brit ish generals seem to have concealed the exact nature of their movements froir their enemy , one brigade in the centei of the position crossing with the aid ol artillery fire at Totgieter's ford , while another , five miles to the left , crossed a few hours later and secured a good po sition on the : enemy's flank. Whether or not , says a correspondent the Boers have been anticipating such a movement and practically preparing ttj yield to Buller's advance remains to be determined. It does not appear that they mad.e . the show of resistancewhich they had 'been ' expected to make , or that they were on the alert , as , presumably , they would have been in case of a stubborn purpose to resist to the utmost the cross ing of the Tugela. While this advance carries the British forces past one more obstacle on the way to Ladysmith it also enables the Boers to put themselves in a position much strongt-r strategically. So long as they held the Tugela they were forced to stretch out their line along the river for many miles. Their force was thus not only weakened , but exposed to flank attacks. It seems likely that be fore giving up this position they had pre pared themselves to make a much more effective resistance under more favora ble conditions. By concentrating at a point nearer Ladysmith they wonld ha"c not only the advantages of a choice of positions in a familiar country , but of having their enemy in a place from which it would be extremely dillicult to make an orderly retreat. A watchful army free to take its choice of positions for re sisting an invading force has a signal ad vantage over an advancing army which , whatever path it chooses , is bound down to the necessity of reaching a definite known objective in ibis case Ladysmith. The Boers , apparently are not likely to be outflanked easily in this region. On the other hand , should they succeed in repulsing Buller , they could make his po sition on their own side of a stream which is unfordable save at'a few points ex tremely awkward. Another correspondent says that Gen. Buller himself has made his headquar ters in a farm house belonging to Mar- tiuius Pretorius , and located supposedly in the neighborhood of Spearman's farm. He issued an address to his men telling them that they were going to relieve their comrades at Ladysmith and that there could be no turning back. It is not ex actly known the number of troops with Buller , as about 5,000 of uis men remain unaccounted for. However , it is believ ed that his total force now amounts to 30,000 men , with eight field batteries , divided into three or four brigades. Gen. AA'arren , with about 8,000 men , is reported to be well lodged five miles back from the river at Sproenkop. He has thrown a few shells at the Boers , but has received no reply , the Boers being ap parently too busy intrenching and prepar ing to give Warren a warm time when he attempts the advance in the direction of Ladysmith. Gen. JDyttleton's force of probably 10- 000 men and a majority of the guns is at Potgieter's drift bombarding the ene my. Lord Dundonald's cavalry is sup posed to be on a recounoissauce for the purpose of cutting the Boer lines of com munication , a task of great difficulty , as it requires an advance as far as Blaan- bank. The first skirmish between the British and the Boers , preliminary to the impend ing struggle north of the Tugela , Was re ported Friday. The action resulted in a victory for the British. HER EYELIDS SAVED HER. A Supposed Dead "SVoiuan'ss Escape from Burial Alive. Mrs. Christina JJirth of East St. Louis narrowly escaped burial alive. She had been ill three months and Monday morn ing of last week apparently expired , at the county hospital. The doctor came and felt her pulse and applied other tests and pronounced her dead. The county undertaker was called , the body was tak en to the dead room hud laid out on a cooling board. Cloths saturated with bleaching fluid were placed over the face and the body. The shroud and clothing ! U "iVllk'h > he was to be buried were pre pared. While busy with his preparations to ward embalming , the undertaker was startled by a noise proceeding from the direction of the corpse. lie glanced hastily , but there was no motion in the white-sheeted figure. When he came to remove the sheet from tne face , however , he noticed that one of the weights had fallen oft"an eyelid. In replacing it ho thought that he detected a slight quiver in the eyelids , but , attributing it to his imagination , went about his preparations. Again the noise and the fallen weight. This time the quiver in the eye was more pronounced. There was no heart motion or breathing that he could detect , and he was about to inject the fluid when again he noticed the quiver , and then , tc be thoroughly satisfied , he applied the most powerful test of life known to un dertakers. There was an unmistakable though faint indication of life in response. Assistance was summoned , the partial ly embalmed woman removed to a bed and restoratives were applied by the doc tors. She was able , afrer several hours to speak in a whisper and move her mus cles , but the weakness caused by her ill ness and the terrible ordeal through which she had passed told heavily upon her , and she could make no statcmenf as to her experiences while in a trance. of Minor Note.

Clifford Siftou , Minister of the Interior , Ottawa , Canada : Sir Thinking that my experience in Manitoba might be both useful and in teresting to nay felo\v countrymen in the United States who may be looking to Manitoba and the Northwest "with the intention of settling there , 1 have much pleasure in stating that through information received from Mr. "W. F. McGreary , Immigration Commissioner at Winnipeg , Iwas induced to visit Manitoba in February , IS'JS. When 1 called upon Mr. McCreary lie spared no pains to give me all the information , etc. , in 'his possession , the result of which -was that I came here with a letter of Introduction from him to the secretary of the Yirden Board of Trade. That gentleman provided me with a competent land guide , and although there was considerable snow on the ground , I had no difficulty in selecting three homesteads for myself and sons. Having made the necessary homestead entries at the land office in Brandon , 1 returned to my home in Lyon County , Minnesota , and came back here in May following , accompanied by one of my boys , bringing with us two teams of horses , implements , etc. Our first work was to erect a temporary shanty and stable , after which we broke and seveled 75 acres and put up 30 tons of hay. I went back to Minnesota-about the 20th of July , leaving my son here. T returned in October , bringing my family with me. I found that the land we liad acquired was of good quality , being a strong clay loam with clay subsqjj. Last spring I sowed 100 acres in wheat , 50 acres in oats and barley (75 ( acres of this grain was sowed on "goback" plowed last spring ) . My crop was threshed in October , the result being over 2,700 bushels of grain in all. Wheat averaged 15 bushels per acre and graded No. 1 hard , but that which was sown on land other than sod ( "go- back" ) went 24 bushels per acre. To say that I am well pleased with the result of my first year's farming operations in Manitoba does not ade quately express my feelings , and 1 have no hesitation in advising those who are living in districts where land Is high in price to come out here , if they are willing to do a fair amount of work. I am ten miles from Virden , whic.h is a good mar-ket town , and nine miles from Hargrave , where there are two elevators. This summer I erected a dwelling house of native stone and bought a half-section of land adjoining our homestead , for which I paid a very moderate price. There are still some hpmesteads in this district , and land of fine quality fan be purchased from the Canadian Pacific Railway Co , at $3.50 per acre on liberal terms. Good water Is generally found at a depth of from 15 to 20 feet. I have 175 acres ready for crop next year. - < % The cost of living here is about the same as in Southern Minnesota. Some commodities are higher and others lower in price , but the average is about the same. I remain , your obedient ser vant , ( Signed ) JACOB REICHEHT. Pine Tree TOO Years Old.

One evening Sir Arthur Sullivan went to see Rubinstein at his house in London. The Russian composer asked his visitor to step out onto the balcony and smoke a cigarette. They sat down , twisted their cigarettes , and puffed the blue clouds into the air. After a long pause Sullivan observed : "You are a great admirer of Beetho ven , I presume ? " "Yes , " answered Rubinstein. "And Wagner ? " "Mo , " was the reply. That was all. Not another word was spoken. They rocked themselves in their chairs , and smoked away. After a long time Sullivan remarked : "I think it is time for ine to be going. " "Don't say so , " said Rubinstein. "Stay a bit longer ; It is so nice to talk to you. " Sullivan remained , went on rocking himself and smoking Into the small hours , when he at length got up and said : "I must really be off now ; I think we have chatted long enough.

The examination was conducted by a young and smart attorney , who patron ized the expert with all the authority of half a dozen years of practice. One of his questions related to the form in which the ore was found , a form generally known as "kidney lumps. " "Xow , Mr. Batterman , " said the at torney , "how large are these lumpsV You say they are oblong in shape. Are they as long as my head ? " "Yes , " replied the expert , "but not nearly so thick.

" Yours truly , Belva A. Lockwood. Catarrh may attack any organ of the body. Women are especially liable to catarrh of the pelvic organs. There are one hundred cases of catarrh of the pelvic organs to one of catarrh of the head. Most people think , because they ; have no catarrh of the head , they have no catarrh at all.
