"l.idyninth, Oct, ZI, :4S p. m.
I ieneral White rode toward Kland'a

llci;inniii of the l'attle of Glencoe.
A correspondent tn (ilencoe camp
sends the follow ing dispatch, under date
of October 20, morning:
p break disclosed tbe Dutch all
around Dundee. As soon as they were
in line Iwhind IVter Smith's house,
where they posted a cannon, rifle fire
hrgau generally, and to wake ns they
put several shots and shells slap into
the ramp, causing a speedy evacuation
of the tent and forming np of all tbe
ranks outside the camp. Our gun were
soon in action, and replied with telling
ITect. So effective wa our artillery fire
that In ten minutes tbe gnna of the
Itoer were all but ailenced. I could see
from my position how telling it was. I
could see members of the staff going
altont their duties as coolly a if the
whole thing was a sham battle.
"A oon a the Itoer fire slackened,
our artillery, which had been beautifully
aerved, trotted into town and potted
themselves. They soon compelled the
enemy to retire. Our gun continued to
play on Smith' hill, where beautiful
practice wa made.
"While onr gun were so engaged, the
hussars deployed on the left flank. Soon
the cannonading ceased, and, after five
minntet' sharp work, all was over. This
may be put dowu as the first battle of
Dundee.
"The battle was soon renewed with
great vigor. At 7 :m a message arrived
telling the camp that 9000 Itoer were
marching on us with the Intention of at
tacking our rear. A heavy mist which
caps the surrounding hill obscures their
approach, and they may be on u any
hour. The only casualties known on our
side are the wounding of a trumpeter
and a drummer in the Sixty-ninth
battery."

CHANGE FOR
THE W. C. T. U.
Headquarters to Be in Late Home of
of Frances Willard.
Seattle, Wash., Oct. 21. In the con
sideration of three important amend
ments to the constitution of the organiza
tion, and in celebrating the silver jubilee
of the society, the delegates to the W.
C. T. U. convention passed the second
day of the session. Two or three amend
ments were adopted. One of these
removes tbe headquarters of the national
organization from Chicago, where it ha
been located for many year, to Evanston,
111., at Rest cottage, the late home of
Mis France Willard. Tha adoption of
thi amendment wa had after a long
and at time rather heated debate, in
which much feeling wa manifested.
In tbe discussion of this proposition
the national officers, without exception,
supported tbe amendment. It developed
tbat among tbe officers and delegates
there wa a strong desire to have tbe
permanent headquarters of the organiza
tion at the place hallowed to them by
tbe long residence o' Miss Willard, and
by the associations growing out of her
occupancy of her room in Rest cottage.
Tbe opposition to the movement, which
came from delegates from various part
tbe country, was beaten down under
argument founded npon the sentiment
refurred to. When the vote was taken,
shortlr after noon, it stood 174 for the
amendment and twenty-two against.
Too Much Rain For Farmers.

heavy rain of the past wtek have
swollen all the coun'y streams and fall

few farmers have harvested their potato
crop, and hundred of acres of potatoes
are in the ground. T. W. Thompson, of
Gaston, report tbat a large per cent ol
the grain on the Wapato bottom is In

Valor of Boers.
London, Oct. S3. A special dispatch
from Cape Town, ditted Sunday, say
that advices received therefrom Pretoria
report President Kruger a being In
favor of ao unconditional surrender. It
is addej that the execntive council will
meet Monday or Tuesday to discuss the

it is stated here, mini be accepted with

Russia and France.
London, Oct. 23. Sensational rumors
of the designs of foreign powers, ioimi-
cial to British Interests, meet with
scant credence, though It il admittedly
difCcolt to explain the immense force on
land which Great Britain I now mobil
izing. In Vienna, it is reported tbe
British naval movements are due to a
rumor that Russia, with the assent of
France, is about to acquire from Spain
Ceuta, or some other naval station on
the African coast. sewhere it is
stated the movements of the French
Mediterranean fleet in tbe neighborhood
of the Levant, where it could easily be
joined by the Russia Black sea fleet, via
the Straits of Dardanelles, is occasion
ing suspicion.
Great Display of Valor.
London, Oct. '.'.--The British victor
ies in atal following each other in
quick succession, though accompanied
by heavy losses on the tnle of the victors
which bear striking testimony to tbe
valor of tbe vanquished Boers. They
appear to have fallen victims to the
very plan which they counted on to
drive the British into the sea.
They have been beaten in detail by
connterstrokes, carefully considered and
brilliantly carried out, in the face of
courageous opposition, which ha done
much to Increase British respect for the
burghers, whose splendid valor and de
termination, it is universally admitted,
reached the highest level.
Fuller account of Saturday' battle at
Elandslaag emphasizes the splendid
gallantry exhibited on both side and tbe
superiority of tbe British in pitched
battle, although the Boer fonght with
the greatest tenacity to the last, only
yielding when further fighting was
hopeless.
Three Hundred Boers Killed.
Gi.encoe Camp, Oct. 22. (Delayed in
transmission), 12 :20 p. m. The attack
made by Boer forces, nnder General Lu
cas Meyers, on the British position Sat
urday, enabled the British force to
score another signal success. The Boer
column was driven pell-me'l over the
plains, losing over three hnn.lred killed
and wounded. In addition, the British
captured several hundred horse and
made many prisoners, who are btlng
well cared for.
The Boer hospital haa been taken un
der the wing of the British hospital
corps, as the Boers had inlr a single
doctor with a primitive etaff, who waa
quite unable to cope with the wounded.
As it ha been mining all night long,
and the weather is heavy and misty, it
is hardly expected the Hoers will make
another attack today.

Irasic Fate of Otis Wbitmorc, who Re
sided Near Laurel.
Hilli-bobo, Or., Oct. 'Jo. Otis Whit
more, who resided near Laurel, was yes- ,
terday accidentally shot and killed at a
point between Linrel and Xewberg.
Whitmore and hi brother-in-Uw, a
man named Ornduff, were hunting, A
grouse flew np, and Whitmore fired at it
without effect. Ornduff then fired and
brought down the bird.
Whitmore then started to pick up the
bird, and Ornduff was in the act of re
loading bis gun, when tbe weapon dis
charged and the load of shot struck
Whitmore in the back, completely shat
tering the left lung.
Medical aid was summoned from New
berg and Hilleboro, but ail efforts to
save the life of the unfortunate man
were unavailing, as be soon expired.
Whitmore was 30 years of age. He
leaves a w ife and three children. He
was sober and industrious and his death
is generally deplored.
During the winter of 1S97 Mr. James
Reed, one of tbe leading citizens and
merchant of Clay, Clay Co., W. Va.,
struck hi 'eg against a cake of ice in
such a manner as to bruise it severely.
It became very much swollen and pained
him so badly that be could not walk
without tbe aid of crutches. He was
treated by physicians, also used several
kinds of liniment and two and a half
gallons of whiskey in bathing it, but
nothing gave any relief until be began
using Chamberlain's Pain Balm. This
brought almost a complete cure in a
week' time and he believes that had he
not used this remedy his leg would havo
had to be amputated. Pain Bairn is un
equaled for sprains, bruises and rheu
matism. For sale by Blakeley .t Hough
