The Door ICEH was estimated at fifty-three killed and many wounded. The latest advices from Klmbcrley , under clato of October 21 , said the Boer attack was etlll pending and that large Boer forces In the neighborhood had destroyed big sections of the railroad line north and south of the town. Many fugitives from neighboring vil lages have been Imprisoned by the Boera. Several women hearing their huobands had been captured visited the Boers' camp nnd were courteously received.

Tlioy confirm tbo Associated Press accounts and show that Colonel Fltzciarencc's squadron was nearly outflanked by the Boers. The arm ored train was unable to asnist the squadron for fear of hitting the British soldiers. Colonel Baden-Powell signaled to Fltzclar- enco to retire , but the latter replied that ho was hampered by his wounded , could not desert them and could not return without reinforcements. Lieutenant Lord Charles Dentinck of the Ninth Lancers was then ord ered , with a squadion , to disengage Fltz- u ! a re nee , and the retreat was effected In good order. The efficacy of the armored train was thor oughly proven. The crew did great execu tion. While the lighting was proceeding outside , the townsmen stood by the defences of the town. Splendid spirit Is said to bavo been shown by mcry one , oven the women shouldering Leo-Mctford rifles , which they know how to handle , "Tho Boers' wounded on our bunds are treated Just as our own and I have every reason to boll eve the Boers will treat any of our wounded In their hands In a similarly hunmno manner.

' "General Whlto fought a successful action with an Orange Free State force today , on the road between Ladysmlth and Newcastle , and should Join hands with General Yule this evening. "General Yule reports that his wounded are doing well. Major Ballllo had an exciting experience near Mafeking while attempting to convey orders from the base to the front. He had to run the gauntlet of the enemy 250 yards away. A hot lire was opened on him and Ballllo's water bottle was shattered.

( Special Tele gram. ) Judge M. P. Klnkald , republican candidate for congress In the Sixth district , and Chaplain J. H. Mallley of Nebraska's j Fighting First addressed the most enthusi astic and largest audience ever ns- aemblcd In the eld Model opera house In this city tonight , As the citizens approached the liall the sou of Judge Hand , chairman of the populist county committee , handed each a printed dodger containing extracts from a letter written by the chaplain to Congressman Stark last January , which proved n boomer ang , In reply to the question , "What have you to say In reference to your letter to Congressman Stnrk , written from Manila , dated January 30 ? " the chaplain replied as followa : "Notice In the first place that this letter Is strictly personal and private. An honest man would have some conscientious scr'uples In making public such a letter , hut I have recently discovered that from the average democratic or popullstlc politician an hon est man Is a far cry. I have known all along that they were desperate and that they were ready to stoop to any means to secure party success In Nebraska this fall , but until last light I had yet to learn to what depths of nfamy they wpuld descend. To that part of the letter referring to my position on he Philippine question , 1 have no objections. The part , however , which refers to Colonel Stottinbuig nrouses my Indignation as nothing which they have said in this cam paign has done. "I have no desro to go into a discussion of the feelings ot the regiment toward Colonel Stotsenburg up to the breaking out of the Philippine war. He was not an caay man to understand and I think we mlaun- del stood him. Dut before the Philippine war had progressed forty-eight hours there had come to the entire regiment a complete revulsion of feeling. Wo not only admired tils courage as a soldier , his skill as nn officer , but we came to love him as a man. I was with him a great deal from Santa Mesa to Maloloa and have many reasons to bcllevo that the high regard and personal affection that 1 came to feel for him wers reciprocated. On Sunday afternoon , April 23 , as I stood beside his cold body and icolted into his dead face , I regretted thor oughly every unkind thought or sentiment I had felt toward him. Embalmed 111 tlic Dos * ' Hearts. "Whatever misunderstandings may have existed between him nnd the regiment , Col onel Stotsenburg Is embalmed In the hearts cit the boys of the First Nebraska forever. But how can I express my Indignation at this dastardly attempt to create political preju dices by exhuming the bones of our dead hero and hurling them Into the political arena ! Nothing could show more clearly the desperate straits to which the fusion forces are reduced In this state. They see upon the wall the handwriting of defeat and they will scruple at nothing to avert It. "When I was in San Francisco at the Pre sidio , Colonel Stark and General Barry came to my tent and for nearly an hour lavisjhed upon mo the most jpqarpllm rijary , terms. They spoke of how proud tb'eyr were of mj- record. They called mo 'Our Jim1 nncl 'Out " Chaplain Jim , ' and such phrases. Th.dre were no words good enough to express what they seemed to feel toward me. That was -while they thought I was on their sldo of the political fence , but now there is no sentiment too vlic to apply to me , not be cause thay helleve these things true , but because I have stood by my honest convic tions. They would stoop anything to win success. It Is not -with them a question of principle , it Is a question of party oucceee. They fawn upon the dear people , but they care not for the dear people. They care only for party success and to attain this they are willing to blacken the character of any man who stands in their way. They are even willing to enter the sacred precincts of the- dead and violate them with unclean hands. "I want the First Nebraska boya to re member that these political vandals have dragged the name of our dead hero Into this political campaign. A party that will de scend to such vile methods should go down to defeat , and I believe It will go down to defeat. I don't bellcvo that all their sub terfuges , that all their mud-sllnglng , all their desecration of the dead , that anything will eave them ifrom a crushing defeat nt the polls In November , and they deserve it. They are lost In every sentiment of honor , to every refinement of feeling. They are lost to everything but the insensate greed for office. They can't iforglvo any man that will stand In their way toward the accom plishment of their end. niNponltlon of tlie I'lilllnpliiPH , "With reference to that part ot the letter which refers to my position on the Phil ippines I call attention to the fact that It was written before the war began and It oxprcseed not only my sentiments at that time , but , as I believe , the sentiments of most of the regiment. In the flrst wcok in April I wrote a letter to the New York Independent , In which I stated the opinions I had formed In the light of events subse quent to the writing of the letter to Mr. Stark. In this letter , which was published in tbo issue of June 8 , I eald , flrst , that the war must bo prooecuted to the end , and , fccond , that whether we will or no , the obligations of providing a just and stable government for the Filipinos have fallen upon us nnd wo must meet them. "That Is precisely the position I , hold and advocate In all my publlo speeches , The question ot final disposition of the Islands will bo settled In the future , as clrcum- ctancoa and the American people shall de termine , and I am where 1 am politically , because I bellcvo that the political salva tion of that people depends upon our re maining In the Islands long enough at least to Insure the Filipino people against In ternal strife and spoliation by the powers. , Whether it takes a Ions time or iv short time to bring about that end , we must stay there until It is accomplished. To leave them , ns Agulnaldo demands that wo shall , would "bo " to commit ono of the most Btu- pendoua crimes of the agea and I do not bellcvo that the American people nro going to vote to commit any such stupendous crime.

This will delay his return to Washington until about November 15. Till UN of Wiir 3Iutter.ii. Secretary Melklejohn talked of war mat ters during the evening. Ho said people hardly realized the magnitude of the work done by the department within the past year. "In April last , " said he , "when the ratifi cations of the peace treaty were exchanged between the United States and Spain wo had an army In the Philippines of1,200 regu lars and 17,000 volunteers. The condltlona of the act passed at the clcse of the Idst session of congress provided for the muster ing put of the volunteers In service. This left in the Philippine Islands but 4,200 regu lars under the absolute control of the War department. "In that climate the Ineffectlves are at least 25 per cent of the whole , leaving an effectual army of about 3,000 men after the 17,000 volunteers were transported to the United States , or , as I should eay , to San Francisco , as the Philippine hlands are now a part of the United States. This act ot congress referred to further provides for an Increase In the regular army from 2G.OOO to 05,000 men to nerve until 1901 , and gives the pHslde'nt power to call for 35,000 volunteers If It becomes necessary , making an army In round numbers of 100,000 men. "Slnco last April , as piovlded by law , wo have transported from the Philippines to San Francisco an army of 17,000 men and trans ported to the Philippines an army of 34,000 men , who have already disembarked , with 4,000 enroute and 4.000 more under orders to start at a moment's notice. "This remarkable state of affairs is sur prising when it Is taken Into consideration that the Philippines are 8,000 miles dis tant. With the 3,000 men on the Islands , the 34,000 sent there recently and the 8,000 that will rea ; h there soon , the fall cam paign will open with nt least 15,000. PoIltlL-n In ( lie Una ! . "In regard to the political situation in the east I can say frcm what I have observed that the outlook Is very good for the le- publlcan party. In those states where there are contests thls fall there Is no doubt whatever that the republican majorities will bo even greater than they were In 1896 , for the opposition Ilmls It hard to stem the tidal wave of prosperity and patriotism that has swept over the country during the present administration. " In speaking of Judge M. 13. nccse , can didate for justice of the supreme court , Mr. Mciltlejohn had the following to say : "I have had the good fortune to know Monoah B. Reese over since I located In the state for the practice of my profession In 18SO. He was district attorney in the judicial district In which my county was situated when I first met him. It was a great pleasure to mo when I was in the Elate senate and ho was on the supreme bench to cast the flrst ballot for him ns United States senator In the winter of 1885. Ho Is a Jurist of rare ability , as has been shown by his past record , and should bo elected by an overwhelming1 majority. " In regard to the political situation In Ne braska , Mr. Melklejohn said he could not speak , as ho tiad so far had no opportunity to make personal observations.

Of new discoveries there Is no end , bu one of the most recent , most remarkabl and one which will provo Invaluable t thousands of people , Is a discovery which I Is befleved will take the place of all othe remedies for the cure of these common an obstinate diseases , dyspepsia and etomac troubles. This discovery Is not a loudl advertised , secret patent medicine , but Is scientific combination of wholesome , per fectly harmless vegetable essences , frul salts , pure pepsin and bismuth. These remedies are combined In lozeng form , pleasant to take , and will prcserv their good qualities Indefinitely , whereas al Hauld madlcints rapidly lose whatever goo qualities they may have bad as soon as un corked and exposed to tbo air. This preperatlon Is called Stuart'e Dys popsla Tablets and It Is claimed that om > - tllese Tablets or lozenges will digest fifn 300 to 3,000 , times Its own weight of ro-jat eggs , and other wholesome food. And 'u ! claim has been proven by actual expcrl mentB In the following manner : A hare boiled egg cut into small pieces was place < in a bottle containing warm water heated to ninety-eight degrees ( or blood heat ) , one o these Tablets was then placed In the bottle and the proper temperature maintained fo three hours and a half , at the end of whlcl time the egg was as completely digested as 1 would have been In a healthy stomach. This experiment WBS undertaken to demonstrate that what it would do in tbe bottle It woulc also do In the stomach , hcnco Its unquestlon able value In tbe euro of dyspepala and weak digestion. Very few people are free from some form of Indigestion but tcarcoly two will have the same symptoms. Some will suffer meat from distress after eating bloating from gas In the stomach and bow els , others have ncld dyepopflla or heartburn others palpitation or headaches , slceplCFQ ness , pulns In chest and under shoulder blades , extreme nervousness aa In nervout dyspepsia , but they all have same cause failure to properly digest what Is eaten , The stomach must have rest and assistance and Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets gives it both , by digesting the food for It and In short tlmo It la restored to Its normal action and vigor At same tlmo the TabletH are so harmless that a child can take them with benefit This new preparation has already made many astonishing cures , as for instance , the following : After using only one package ot Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets I bavo received such great and unexpected benefit that I wish to express my sincere gratltudo. In fact It has been U months since I took tlic package and I have not had ono particle of distress or dllllculty ujncc , And all thin In the face of the fact that the Inut doctors I contniltci told nlu my case was chronic dyspepsia and abtoluU-Iy Incurable as I had suffered twen- ty-tlvu yearn. I distributed half a dozen packages among my friends hero who arc very anxious to try this icmedy. Mrs. Sarah A. Skeola , Lynvllle , Jasper Co. , Mo.
