Word from MufeUlnir.
Newn has at length been received direct

the armored train fight the British had two
men killed and fifteen wounded , Including
Lieutenant Lord Charles Bentlnck of the
Ninth Lancere , slightly wounded.
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. Their interces
sion for their husbands was successful and
the reunited families have arrived at Klm-
berley. The prisoneis report that they were
well treated.
According to runners who have arrived nt

A dispatch received at Capetown from Her-
schcl , ' dated October 23 , eays fifteen natlvoJ
who have arrived there say they were arrested
after leaving Johannesburg and ordered to

i Kltzuliirciiuc In Jeopardy.
A dispatch from Kuruman , dated October
1 , via the Orange river , says a dispatch rc-
colved hero furnished the details of the
flght a.t Mafoking Ootober II. 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. "
Mr , Wyndhftm added : "I may remind tbe
Tlis Non-Irritating

House that the Transvaal Is a party to the
Geneva convention. "
Replying to a question as to what arrange- (
mcnts had been made to employ civilian doc
tors to asslat In the care of the wounded In
South Africa , Mr. Wyndbam said be was
glad to take the opportunity of announcing
that Sir William MacConnack. the distin
guished president of the Royal College of
Surgeons , had Intimated his readiness to ac
company General Sir Redvcrs Buller's force
and place his great skill and ability at the
disposal of the army medical authorities.
Mr. Wyndham said : "We have not hes
itated to accept this patriotic offer. "
YULE JOINS HANDS WITH WHITE
Field .Mnrdlitti Wolncloy Submit * a
bndHfnetory Report nn to the
Situation In ISntnl.
LONDON , Oct. 24. The parliamentary sec
retary of the war ofllce , George Wyndhaui , In
the House cf Commons today announced that
Field Marshal Lord "Wolscley , the com-
mnndcr-ln-chlef of the forces , sums up the
situation In Natal today as follows :
"General Yule has fallen back to effect
a Junction with Sir George Stewart White.
Ho camped yesterday evening about sixteen
miles south of Dundee without seeing any
thing of the enemy during the march nnd It
has .since been reported that 'all's well on
the Waschbank river. '
"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. The
next moment his horse was shot and fell
and Ballllo had a narrow escape fronl cap-
ture. 'He reached ths train. , * . , !
A courteous , notd has reached. Cojonel
Baden-Powell frcm General Crpnje , the/ / Boer
commander , offering facilities for the Inter
change of wounded and prisoners. This in
dicates that when the Boers tired on the am
bulance train , which was attempting to pick
up the British dead , they did so by mistake.
A native rumor says Colonel Plumer , at
Tull , has engaged and defeated a force ot
Boers.

Colonel
ICEAIINKY , Neb. , Oct. 24. ( 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. It Is not a question of wh > twp
want to do , but of what honor demands

time upon military matters. He will in
spect Forts Robinson and Ntobrnra and put
In some tlmo at Sheridan , Wyo. , later going
to Port Custer , Wyo. , which was abandoned
recently by the War department for sant-
taiy reasons , with a view to determining
whether the War department shall or shall
not relinquish It to the department of the
Interior. 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.

A TEST EXPUUIMKNT.
Peculiar Povrer 1'oMnefmed by 11
Medicine.
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.
