The funeral» services will be extremely simple, in deference not only to the wishes of Goy. Goebel, but also of the members of his family. Wednes- day morning the remains will be brought back to Frankfort and placed in the big ball room of the Capito] ho- tel, where they will lie in state all that day. Some apprehension is felt of trouble on that day s it is believed that from 30,000 to 50,000 strangers will be in the city to view the remains of the Democratic leader, and bitter feeling engendered by his death may result in a ¢ Precautions are be- ing taken, irrespective of party, to prevent trouble, and no serious out- k is looked for. The interment will take place Thursday from the Capitol hotel, but the actual arrangements for the burial have as yet not been decided on.

It would not surprise many citizens if the national committee took the convention and gave it to Chi ‘ome other city.

Reported on Good Authority That Buller’s Forces Have Been Fight- ing All Day—Remarkable Declar- atior in the House of Commons— In a Fortnight Great Britain Will Have 213,000 Troops South Africa—Strongest Defense of the Government Yet Put Forward. London, Feb. ‘The St. James Ga- zette says it is reported on good au thority that Gen. Buller fhas again crossed the Tugela river at three places and that fighting bas been pro- ceeding all day, long. London, Feb. 3The war office has no news of Gen.

Of this total of 215,000 troops and 232 guns, all are there now with the exception of 18,000 afloat. Beyona comparison this is the largest force Great Britain has ever put into the field. At the end of the Crimean war she had scraped together about 80,000 men. Wellington, at Waterloo, haa about 25,000. Mr. Wyndham’s speech was the strongest defense the govern- ment has yet put forward as to what has been done and is being done. The general opinion of the morning papers is that his figures will astonish the country. Roughly speaking only 80,- 000 are at the front; 10,000 others have been lost and 10,000 are shut up in Ladysmith. There aré nearly 100,000 troops who have not yet been in ac. tion, besides those at sea. Why so many have not been in action is due to lack of land transports and sup- plies, to which Lord Lansdown is de- voting his attention and genius. It seems as though the force of these masses must destroy the equilibrium ch holds the British forces station- ary wherever they are in contact with the Boer army. ’ Lack of Transportation and organization will not explain ade- quately why, when generals at the front need reinforcements, they only get them in very small numbers. Knowledge is slowly penetrating to London that large garrisons must be kept in Cape Colony to held down the Cape Dutch, who, every one knows, outnumber the British residents three to two. Cable scraps received during the last twelve hours do not furnish much information on the military op- erations, Many independent reports confirm the rumor that Gen. Buller told his command on the 28th that he hoped to relieve Lz n within a week. It is believ rather trustworthy quarters th again assailing the Boer lives.

Three cruisers were commissioned at Davenport — this month. Some unpleasant criticism of the war office is caused by the rumors that Lee-Henry cartridges are defect- ive. Old carbines have been supplied to the outgoing Fourth brigade of cav- alry. The only thing fresh in military preparations is the formation of three additonal batteries. WON BY WGOVE) Eddie Santry Knocked Ont in Five Rounds. Chicago, Feb. 3. — Terry McGovern of Brecklyn, at Tattersall's last night, proved his right to the title of feather- weight champion of the world by knocking out Eddie Santry of Chicage, who claimed the leadership of the 122- pound class by virtue of a knock-out of Ben Johnson of England. The knock-out came jn the fifth round af- ter a fierce mix-up in which Santry did some clever work, but Terry was too strong for the Chicago lad and straigh- tened Santry with a short arm jolt to the stomach, landed left and right to the jaw in quick succession and San- try fell to the floor on h's face. He got up at the count of ten but was in such a weakened condition that Ref- eree George Siler declared McGovern the winner to save Santry from fur- ther punishment, as he was staggering all over the ring ard would have been out with the next blow.

In speaking of his good health and extreme old age, Mr. Brock says: “After a man has lived in the world as long as I have, he ought to have found cut a great many things by experience. «One of the things I have found out to my entire satisfaction is the j proper remedy for ailments that are due directly to the effects of the climate. «During my long life I have known 4 great many remedies for coughs, colds, catarrh and diar- rhea.

WESTERN CANADA. Crop Prospects and Climate About Ed- monton, N. W. T.—Interesting Letter from Mrs. 8 A. Brigham, Late of Mason City. The following extracts from «an in- teresting letter to the Mason City (Ia.) Republican, written by Mrs. S. A. Brigham, late of that place, but now of Ross Creek, Alberta, Canada, so near- ly describe. most of the districts of Western Canada that we take pleasure in presenting same to the attention of our readers: Ross Creek, Albert, N. W. T., Canada, Aug, 7, 1899. Editor Mason City Republican—Dear Sir:| We are located in the Beaver s, 30 miles from Ft. Saskatchewan and 50 miles from Edmonton, To the east of these is an immense area of bottom lands, which furnishes abund- ance of hay for the settlers. It is dot- ted with small lakes, the largest of which is called Beaver Lake, 16 miles in length. The Beaver Hills are covered with small green willows which are easily gotten rid of before breaking up the jand. Here and there poplar, birch and tamarack trees abound. Small meadows are numerous. The soil in these hills is much richer than the bot- tom lands, being a kind of black leaf mould. There is no tough sod to break, and it is very productive. Wheat, oats and barley do finely and vegetables are the finest that can be grown. Potatoes especially are large and solid, easily producing from 200 to 300 bushels per acre, and best of all never a “‘taty. bug” to wrestle with. Wild fruit, strawberries, gooseberries, saskatoons (or pine berries), raspber- ries and cranberries, are found in the hills, Small tame fruit does finely, the red. and white currants in my garden are as large again as common sized ones. We have long days during the months of June and July; one can see to reid many evenings until 10 o’clock in the twilight. Some nights less than 3 hours of darkness, and the birds are singing at 2 o'clock. Then again, it rains’ so easily. You look toward the west and see a little cloud coming up, a gentle shower follows, the sun shines forth again, and in a little while you ferget it has rained. Cyclones are unknown here and the thunder and lightning is very light. We had two storms this summer ac- companied with wind and hail, but nothing to lodge the grain. The aver- age heat is about 78 degrees. We had three or four days in July at 90. The nights are always cool. The winter season is one of great ac- tivity. All the fencing is gotten out then and logs for the farm buildings. By paying 25 cents you are granted a permit at the land office to cut logs upon vacant lands. The roads are gcod and smooth, for the snow never drifts, not even around the buildings, and this is a great saving of time to the farmer. Hay is hauled from the bottom lands all winter long, and a man can work outside every day as far as the weather is concerned. There are cold snaps when it reaches 40 and 48 below zero, but the lack of wind pre- vents one realizing it and the moun- tains 150 miles west of us are a great protection. Our neighbors are mostly Canadian, Scotch, Swede, and we have a nice sprinkling of people from the states. The creeks abound in small fish! We are now in the midst of hay- making (Aug. 7). Wheat will not be cut until early September, this being a little later season than common, but the cron will be immense, | send you | well 15 feet deep. a sample of wheat and _ barley—its height is almost even with my shoul- ders, average 50 inches. New comers lacking binders can hire their grain cut for 75 cents per acre. Prairie chickens are here by the thousands. The water is good. We have a fine In the creeks the water is soft and of a yellowish color. Now for the drawbacks (we have them), but nothing very serious. The mosquitoes are simply abominable, es- pecially after a shower. Then again we are surrounded with bachelors; we have no less than 18 singie men in this neighborhood, on matrimony bent. When a feminine gender of any age between 14 and 40 visits these hills we pity her, so great is the demand for her company. In conclusion, if the remainder of our loved ones were here with us, we should better enjoy life on Ross Creek, and unless the unexpected develops, consider this will be a pretty fair place to end our days. MRS. S. A. BRIGHAM. The Old Man’s Query. “So you want to marry my daugh- ter?” “Y-es, sir.” “Do you smoke?” “N-o, sir.” “Take her! I’ve married off six daughters, and all their husbands have a particular fondness for my brand of cigars. You're a novelty.”—Syracuse Herald. Uncle Has It. Miss Roxy—Where’s the umbrella I gave you? Gayboy (her fiance)—That is it. Miss Roxy—Nonsense! The one I gave you had a heavy silver handle. That has no handle at all.

Catarrh Cannot Be Cured with LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as they cannot reach the seat of the disease. Catarrh is a blood or constitutional disease, and in order to cure it youmust take internal remedies. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, and acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces. Hall's Catarrh Cure is not a quack medicine. It was prescribed by one of the best physicians in this country fer years, and is a regular pre- scription. It is composed of the best tonics known, combined with the best blood purifiers, acting directly on the mucous surfaces.

The British navy has control of six- ty-two docks for its ships. A Highland officer’s uniform costs from $150 to $200 including full dress, undress, and mess uniforms. Old Fort Carroll at Baltimore is to be remodeled into a modern fortress for the protection of that city. Many officers in South Africa took their bicycles with them, the war office using all care to facilitate safe carriage. The Omaha Commercial club is mak- ing strenuous efforts to ‘secure @ branch of the army supply depot and } manufactory now located at Jefferson, ind. General J. B. Gordon has issued the formal order for the annual meeting of the United Confederate Veterans to be held in Louisville, Ky., May 30 to June 3. The association now numbers 1,240 camps. The engineers of the field telegraph in South Africa, carry their cables in specially constructed carts, each con- taining a maximum of ten miles of i; cable wound in drums, which can be laid off on the gallop. The current is sent to the earth through the wheels of the cart. A correspondent writes to the Lon- don Mail: “The question of our field artillery is the most important mili- tary question of this anxious time. We are better able to provide all that is necessary than any other nation, and our army, militia, and volunteers ought at once to be furnished with the most complete and varied artillery in the world.” NOTES OF THE STAGE. Nat Goodwin has a play written called “When We Were Twenty-One.” Mrs. John Wood has announced her intention to retire permanently from the stage. Marie Dressler is playing in a sketch with the odd title of “Fifteen Minutes in Shirt Waists.” The English reverses in Africa have temporarily ruined the theatrical busi- ness in London. Kinsey Peile has been selected to make a dramatic version of Mary Chol- mondeley’s novel “Red Pottage.” Henry Clay Barnabee, of Bostonians fame, is 68 years of age, forty-five of them having been spent on the stage. James Young has recovered from his recent illness and is engaging a cast to support him in his long-threatened production of “Lord Byron.” Maude Adams made her first appear- ance on any stage as a child actress in the company of J. K. Emmet at the historic Bust Street theater, in San Francisco, lately destroyed by fire. REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR. The man a woman is in love vith is always a hero, even if he is cross-eyed.
