q 2S.
The following dispatch has been re
ceived here from Pretoria, filed yester
day: "The government has issued a proc
lamation, declaring that no rents or
interests on bonds of martial law, nor
within a certain fixed period after the
repeal of the same.
"The Boers at Vryburg have secured
qauntity of ammunition. Command

CAPETOWN. Oct. 2S. A telegram
from Buluwayo. Rhodesia, dated Mon
day, say-
A Bor force is threaientng Chief
Kharoa and Chief Linchwe. who are
loyal to Great Britain. The two chiefs'
country lies at the extreme northwest
of the Transvaal and includes Bech
uanaland. It seeni? a gros mistake
for the Boers to provoke war among
the natives. The probable explanation
is that the Boer force intends
to destroy the railway to Buluwayo
and thus prevent any atfmpt of Col
onel Plummers Rhodesian force to go
to the n-lief of Mafeking. Already
there have been stories of a Rhodesian
armored train engaging the Boers some
distance north of Makeking.

Cabinet Talk ToHltlon.
WASHINGTON. D. C. Oct. 2S. The
cabinet meeting today lasted two hours
and a half, an hour longer than usual.
After the adjournment the members
were unusually reticent. One member
said that the president had cautioned
them against making any statement
about the meetiing today. It can be
stated, however, that the discussion
related to the Philippines and there is
reason to believe that it was in refer
ence to the military and naval plans
which are to be placed in operation
soon.
Fully an hour of the session of the
cabinet was consumed in a discussion
of the political outlook, especially in
Ohio, some of the members having re
ceived advices from their friends en
gaged in th campaign, conveying an
accurate statement of existing condi
tions. how Horses Sold.

What They Are to Expect All Infor
mation I at 11 a ml.
NEW YORK. Oct. 27. A special to
the Herald from Washington says:
Prompt declaration by congress in
iavor of asserting and maintaining
complete sovereignty over the Philip
pines at whatever cost and in favor of
the most liberal kind of self-government
when the insurrection ends is
what the president wants. It is also
what the Philippine commissioners
want. There is a greut deal yet for
the president to do on his message and
for the peace commissioners to do on
their report, but this one important
conclusion is certain.
Your correspondent has excellent
authority for the statement that the
president intends to make specific rec
ommendations to congress in favor
of holding the Philippines permanent-
ly and as to the form of civil gov
ernment to take the place of the mili
tary as soon as the Tagalos now in
rebellion surrender. It is authori
tatively stated that there will be no
half-way measures suggested for the
purpose of sidetracking the Philip
pine question until after the next
campaign. The president will face
the issue siiqarely and give congress
the best information f.'ora his
cora-
missioners and other sources to s
Port tne position he has assumed,
... . . ,, .-
up-
Although members of thp Philip
pine commission are not talking for
publication, there is no doubt they
will lay great stress in their report
upon the desirability of a prompt and
emphatic declaration, on the part of
congress, which will convince those
now in rebellion that all branches
of the government are united on the
question of permanent American con
trol in the Philippines. Such action,
in the opinion of Admiral Dewey and
Prof. Schurman. will be almost as
effective as guns iu ending the war in
the Philippines.
It is now only a question of the
specific kind of government the presi
dent will recommend. He will be gov
erned in his decision by the views
of the Philippine commissioners,
whose final decision will be the result
of the deliberations they are here for
now. The first meeting of the com
missioners will be held in the State
department tomorrow, but they will
probably not begin the actual prep
aration of their report before next
Monday.

Car Shortage Continue.
rni rw 'i Th p.ir shortaee
is still troubling railway officials and j
is likely to do so for the balance of the
winter. General Freight Agent Lrosny
of the Burlington has stated that the
situation in the territory over which
he has control has been somewhat re
lieved, and enough cars are available
to fill the most pressing demands. In
speaking of the situation a freight offi
cial stated: "We tnink one day that
there is an improvement in the situa
tion and that we can see our way out.
The next day it is different, and we
find ourselves as badly off as ever."
General officers of the Northwestern
and Milwaukee lines are quoted as say
inc that they cannot supply half the
demands made upon them for cars, and
a few days ago the Burlington, taking
its whole system, had orders booked
for 2.000 more cars than it was able to
fill. The general demand for freight
cars is confined not alone to the big
crops in the west, but because of the
eeneral freight carrying business,
which has increased enormously over
that of last year.
Looking for tbeMnrderer.
OMAHA, Oct. 2S. Still hoping to aid
in the capture and conviction of the
slayer of his daughter on Park avenue
two months ago. James McAuliffe, a
laboring man whose residence is in
Denver, remains in Omaha. Being a
poor man ne has been obliged to find
work to support himself and family
while he is here, and has obtained em
ployment on tne street with the Grant
Paving company. Mr. McAuliffe still
hopes the police will secure Steve Van
Whynan and make him answer the
charge of killing the defenseless girl
with whom he was riding on the fatal
night. This pathetic feature, as well
as the failure of the authorities to
arrest Van Whynan, decided County
Attorney Shields to request the gov
ernor to offer $200 reward on behalf
of the state, whicn tue executive is
likely to do. This woulu make the
total ieward S400 for the location of
the murderer of Lizzie McAuliffe.

THE CAPTURE OF GREGORY.
ebraaka and Iowa Horsethief Leads a
Meiry Chae.
ASHLAND, Neb.. Oct. 27. The
stealing of the Laughlin mule from
this place and the discovery and subse
quent tragedy at Loveland, la., with
the capture of the thief at Council
Bluffs, has excited universal interest
in this city. E. D. Laughlin is a pros
perous farmer living two miles north
west of Ashland, and the mule stol
en, a large and very valuable animal,
was selected and taken by some one
who had information as to his value.
He was taken out of the barn, tied
by the side of a team and the next
morning was tracked through Ash
land going east. The track was fol
lowed to Louisville Monday morning
by a son ot Mr. Laughlin, but there
it was lost.
Mr. Langhlin sent for the Beatrice
bloodhounds and they- arrived Monday
night. They took the scent of the
mule from the harness and the stall in
which he had been kept. They imme
diately struck the trail and, followed
it to Louisville and tracked the mule
into the barn of Sharpe. Although
tried in all other directions they al
ways went back to the Sharpe barn.
It seems that on Sunday morning a
man who was evidently the captured
Dave Williams, drove into Louisville
with a mule and a mare, which he put
into Sharpes barn., Sunday evening
he went to a livery stable to obtain a
team, ostensibly to go out andflnd a
mule which had got away from him.
The livery owner objected to letting a
team to a stranger, whereupon Sharpe
agreed to stand good for the return of
the team. Sharpe. it is charged, knew
all about the Laughlin mule, as he had
worked near him at the building of the
Armor ice house at Memphis. When
the pursuers with the hounds reached
the Sharpe barn Sharpe became very
nfJvous and excited. He at first,
it is alleged, denied that there had
been any mule in his barn or that he
knew anything about the matter. Af
ter a little the mare in his barn was
identified as a mare that had been
stolen in Seward county on Friday
night. As his connection with the
mule theft began to become threaten
ing and he found he was in danger,
he weakened and acknowledged that
Jack Gregory had the mule and had
been there and had gone to Loveland.
la. He was very anxious to clear his
skirts and told the circumstances, the
road taken, and claimed that he was
in great fear of Gregory. The sheriff
at Council bluffs was immediately
called up by telephone, the facts given
him and he was requested to arrest
the thief and obtain the mule. That
action was prompt was evidenced by
tne fact that the man was taken while
eating his dinner in the camp at noon.
Sharpe was right in his statement that
he was heavily armed and a dangerous
cnaracter.
Ordered to I'ay the Tax.
YORK, Neb.. Oct. 27. The York
County Agricultural society received a
visit from a deputy United States rev
enue collector the other day. He
came here to tell them that if they
didn't pay forthwith the amount due
the government as a revenue tax on
countv fairs, the matter would be car
ried up to Omaha for investigation.
The fair association had neglected to
attend to this matter, thinking that
because this year's fair had been a
failure, it would not be necessary to
pay anv tax. Something over ten dol
lars was handed to the collector. The
deputv savs that a number of other
fair associations are delinquent in the
same manner.
Home Strnelt by Llchtnins
GRESHAM. Neb., Oct. 27. During a
heavy rain storm lightning struck the
laree two-story frame hotel at this
place, almost demolishing the front
from roof to foundation. Heavy beams
were torn out and scattered in frag
ments. Pieces of siding were thrown
one hundred feet. Lath and plaster
was torn off in several rooms, three
of which were occupied. How the oc
cupants escaped injury or death, and
the house total destruction from fire,
are beyond comprehension.
Hardware tore IJurglarlzed.
FAIR-MONT, Neb.. Oct. 27. E. A.
Small's hardware store was entered by
burglars and over a hundred dollars
worth of pocket knives and razors
taken. Entrance to the store wa3
made bv breaking a glass in the back
window' and unlocking the sash. Mr.
Small kept the matter quiet in the
hope that he might see some of the
stuff about town, as he thinks it was
done by persons here.
Barn and ContenJ Burned.

The barn of Otto Springsguth, a beet

Comparative Cattle Receipt.
SOUTH OMAHA. Neb.. Oct. 27. Oc
tober, 1SS9, was a record breaker in
cattle' receipts at the yards here, as
127,175 head were received. Notwith
standing the reported shortage in cat
tle the record at the stock yards for
twenty-five days of the present month
shows" that the receipts are keeping
right up with the same month a year
ago. It is firmly helieved that this
year's receipts will exceed the record
of last year. A large increase is al
ready shown in hogs and sheep and
knowing ones assert that the total
for cattle will be larger than a year
ago.
Panama Charrh Dedicated.
PANAMA. Neb.. Oct. 27. The new
Presbyterian church "at this place has
heen "dedicated. The building, as it
stands with furnishings, cost $1,375,
and is a credit to the village, in fact
would be a credit to a much larger
place. The building committee re
ported they needed about $300 so the
building could be dedicated free of
debt. It was provided for in a very
few moments. The Primitive Chris
tians will dedicate a new church here
on the 23th, which is all paid for, and
has been built this summer.

as they were charged with Springflelds
on the books of the regiment. The
Mausers they had got in fair trade,
with the government getting the best
of the bargain. One of the things that
will be carried home is a grand as
sortment of canes. One man has the
wheels of a cannon. W nere he got
them or how he has carried them is
as much of a mystery to his fellow?
as how he will get them home is to

an old cannon of the cast of the fif
teenth century and bows and arrows
for all his neighbors in Holton, Kas.
