CArE Town, July 25. Advices have been received here confirming the report that President Kruger has resigned. Sews Kept Secret. London, July 25. The Johannesburg correspondent at the Standard says: "President Kruger sent a letter to the volksraad resigning the presidency in consequence of the refusal to give him a freehand ae to the dynamite monopoly. He attended the meeting of the volksraad this afternoon, during the consideration of his letter. It is not known yet whether his resignation was Conditional. The news was kept secret at Pretoria." Salisbury May Resign. New Yokk, July 25. A dispatch to the Times from London says : The at tention of all England is again turned toward the Transvaal. The Times says Premier Schreiner, of Cape Colony, can not incite Kruger to mako further con cessions. Much unrest is ru annealed here, and this is not likely to be lessoned in the next few days. An authority of the highest character made the following statement today : "Unless every demand of England be I complied with, there will be war. This has been the intention of the government from the outset. Milmer was sent to I South Africa for the purpose of establish ing suzerainty of England, not only In foreign, but in domestic affairs. Tho Uitlanders' desires were thoroughly con sidered and decided to be reasonable. If Milner's demands are granted, it will es tablish English rights to interfere In the domestic affairs of the Transvaal ; 'f not. there will be war. "Lord Salisbury's resignation may be j expected within a few months. His wife's illness may be given as the cause. lie j is tired of the game and anxious to re tire. "Every little detail of the campaign has been mapped out. It will not be a i repetition of former flirhts with the Boers. It will be rather campaign on the lines of Kitchener's advance in the Soudan. In the coming conflict, the hole British empire will take part. The English volunteers have been sounded. nd thry are ready. Australia, New Zealand, Canada and India have been heard from and will be called upon." Forty Bushels Per Acre. Wkbto.v, July 24 Cron prospects are eacellent in this locality.

BOTTOM OUT OF A CANAL Contractors arc Dismayed at pected Happening. I'nex- Chicago, July 26. A Times-Herald epecinl from Kewanee, III., says: The bottom of the Hennepin canal, in Henry and Bureau counties, has fallen out, and the Cincinnati .firm which has the con tract for the construction on this section is pushed and in dismay at the unex pected happening. Near Sheffield, in P.areau county, several miles beyond tho junction w th the Sterling feeder of the canal, the big steam shovels were at work on a low stretch of ground where the water had been troublesome. Below the solt super-strata of earth was a bed of hard- pan and whtn this was through the water suddenly vanished. Later it was found that the ground for a hundred feet around where the big shovel stood had sunk ten feet. Subsequent borings brought to light the fact that no Eolid bottom existed for a depth of forty-two feet below the level of the hardpan. Quicksilver in the soil is thought to be the reason for this shrinking of the ground, and the same trouble has often been experienced In digging wells. Green-Eyed Monster. Long Bkacii, Cal , July 25. F. Thc- ver, a cobbler 50 years old, shot and in stantly killed Miss Dorothy McKee, aged 24. Thever was jealous of tho attention paid the lady by a young man named Caker.

Mrs. Michael Cirtain, Plainfield, III. makes the statement, that she caught cold, which settled cn her lungs; she was treated for a month by her family physician, but grew worse. He told her she was a hcpsles victim of consumption and that no medicine could cure her. Her druggist suggested Dr. King's New Discovcrv for consumption ; she bought a bottle and to her delight found herself benefited from the first dose.

Butler Drug LAST TIME ON D Ii ESS PARADE Secocfl Oregon Mmi ty General THEY MADE A GOOD SHOWING Same Thorough Efficiency Which Gave the Second Oregon the Reputation of Being the Best Drilled Regiment at Manila, Still Manifest. Prksidio, Cal., July 22. Yesterday afternoon the Second Oregon regiment gave what will probably be Us last dress parade while in the service of the United States. Tho parade was formed in line of bat talions in close column. Although the rtgiment had not held a dress parade or battalion drill for five months, it ac quitted itself splendidly and elicited highly favorable comments from aritv officers present. At Manila it was freely admitted that the Oregon regiment gave the best drees parades there, excelling even the Fourteenth infantry, the best regular regiment there. There is pro bably not a regiment now in the service that can equal it In this respect. After the parade the regiment was reviewed by General Beebe and staff, and then it marched in review, twenty-four files front, preserving perfect alignment in every company. Physical Examinations. The work of physical lamination of the men began yesterday, the first bat talion being taken firet. The 'surgeons finished with the band and hospital corps ani companies A and D. Today companies II and L will be disposed of, and then the second battalion will be taken. The scratch rolls of some of the companies will be completed today and handed in for critical examination by the rnuetering officers. After these have been checked and corrected, five copies will be made, two for the paymaster, one for the adjutant-general of the army, one for the adjutant-general of Oregon, to be filed with the state records, and one for the company commander, with tht company records. This work will consume all of two weeks longer. REMAINS WILL BE CREMATED An Odd Service Final Leave-taking of the Friends of the Dead Nkw Yokk, July 20. The funeral of the late Robert G. Ingersoll took place this afternoon from Walaton, Dobbs Fer ry. No clergyman was present to con duct the services ; there was no music and no Dallbearers. The body lay on a cot in the room where he died. It was enshrouded In white, and just one red rose was placed on the breast. About the cot were banks of floral tributes sent by fri.nlf, wreaths and bunches of blossoms. John Claik RiJpath, in a voice full of emotion said : "My friends, it Is a very sad duty to read In the presence of the dead the last poem written by Col. Hubert G. Ingersoll, entitled 'Declaration of the Freo.' This poem Colonel Inger soll had read and altered In some of its parts only a few hours before he was stricken down." Major O.J. Smj the, who resides in Dobbs Ferry, and who was a close per sonal friend of Colonel Ingersoll, then, without preliminary words, read another extract from Colonel Ingersoll's writings, entitled "My Religion." Dr. John Elliott, of New York, read the funeral oration delivered by Colonel Ingersoll over his brother's dead body. This concluded the short and simple services. Nearly all present th'n took a parting look at the dead and passed out. After they had gone, Mr. Itoust arose from bis chair, and as he la totally blind, passed his hand over the face of his parted friend and said: "Perhaps he is better now. No one can understand It." Mrs. Ingersoll said to him: "The Colonol wanted you to put your hand upon his heart," and suiting the action to the word, she directed his band to the left breast of the deceased. Mr. Houss asked what she was go: 11 to do with the remains. "I can't give him op," she said. "I can't put him in the ground. I can't bear to think of it. We're going to bring him back home." The body mill probably be taken to Fresh Tond Thur'day for cremation, but this arrangement is subject to change. During the morning there were many visitors to look upon the face of the de ceased. Among them were several old colored servants of the family, who had come from Washington, and took four days off and paid their expenses to do honor to their great benefactor. Among these were two former butlers of the family. One old man, who was a baggage man on the railroad, came Irom down on Long island. Others come from Chicago, Syracuse and Buffalo. THE GRANT SAILS NEXT Bringing North Dakota, Wyoming and Idaho Troops Many Volunteers Re-enlist About 1300 Have Ap plied for Re enlistment and It is Believed More Will Follow. Manila, July 26. 12 :25 p. m. Trans port Sherman sailed today for ban Francisco, via Nagasaki and Yokohama, with California infantry, consisting of 48 officers, 950 men, two batteries Cali fornia heavy artillery, nine officers, 86 men, and 275 discharged soldiers from other regiments. Washington, July 21. Three cable messages from General Otis were re ceived at the war department today. One reports another engagement with bandits in Cebu, in which American forces were victorious. It bears date of today and says: 'Following from Cebu today: Bandits from Cebu mountains are robbing and imprisoning people in coast towns. On Monday, Lieutenant Moore, with a de tachment from the Twenty-third in fantry, while scouting in the mountains, was fired npon from strongly fortified position, one private killed, name not given. No other casualties. Enemy loss, five bandits killed, seven captured." Another refers to the organization of volunteers in the Philippines as follows : "Bell has enlisted about 500 men. Wallace, still south, has about 400. L'.ckett, now enlisting, has over 400 ap plications which are coming in rapidly. Might raise here an additional regiment exc'uively of volunteers. A third dispatch says: "Storm has abated ; Sherman is coaled and leaves to day with all troops from California. The Grant is being coaled and leaves in about four days with troops from North Da kota, Wyoming and Idaho. Minnesota is preparing to leave on the Sheridan as soon as the transports can be unloaded and coaled. Other volunteers' organiza tion leave as soon as traneports are available," Otis has been cabled to send volunteers home as soon as possible, it being the desire of the president to have no delay in the matter. 14 IT 1UQIIT For id Editor to Kccnmracnit Patent Medicinal? From Sylvan Valley N. C. News, Brevrad, Il may be a question whether the editor of a newspaper has the right to publicly recommend any of the various proprietary medicines which flood the market, yet as a preventive of suffering we feel it a duty to say a good word for Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diar rhoea Remedy. We have known and used this medicine in our family lor twenty years and haye always found it reliable. In many cases a dose of this remedy would save hours of suffering while a physician is awaited. We do not believe In depending implicitly on any medicine for a enre, but we do believe tnat if a bottle of Chamberlain's Diarrhoea Remedy was kept on hand and administered at tha inception of an attack, much suffering might lie avoided and in very many cases the presence of a physician would not be required. At least this has been our experience during the past twenty years. For sale by Blakeley A Houghton, Druggists.
