There is procurable from any druggist the

ACROSS THE JUGELA
BULLER'S ARMY ADVANCES TO
WARD LADYSMiTH.
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.

Hon. 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 ,

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. "
Rubinstein drew out his watch , and
shook his head in blank astonishment

J&xpert Testimony.
As has been shown in the Dreyfus case ,
expert testimony can be u two-edged
weapon , and it may prove so in a court
constituted according to Anglo-Saxon
principles of justice. The Argonaut
tells a story of C. S. Batterman , a well-
known mining engineer of the Rocky
Mountain states , who was obliged to
take the stand as an expert in a mining
case in Nevada , involving large issues.
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. "

only woman who has ever been a candidate for the Presidency of the Unite *

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. This is a great mis
take , and is the cause of many cases of sickness and death. "Health andt '
