Rastenbare The Ministerial
Crisis at the Cape.
IDNDON. June 17. There ie no news
tonight reported from the seat of war In
South Africa, where the British forces
are continuing to clear off the Boers on
their front or holding In check or dispers
ing those threatening the rear of Schoper
nok. General Bundle's line at Senekal and
Flcksburg Is now almost Invulnerable
The Boers attacked FIcksburg this morn
ing, but were driven off. President Stem
of the Free State is still trying to en
courage the burghers. General Dewet Is
trekking north of Bloemfonteln.
In an attack on the railway pioneers
near Zand Hiver today, the Boers were
driven off, but General Seymour, com
manding the pioneers, was killed. He was
an -American, and was formerly employed
on the road.
The indications are, according to re
ports from Cape Town, that the Minis
terial crisis will soon be ended by the
formation of a cabinet by Sir John Gor
don Sprigg.
The War Office this afternoon received
the following from Lord Roberts:
"Pretoria, June 16. Rustenburg was oc
cupied yesterday by Baden-Powell. A
column etarts from this place tomorrow
to meet Baden-Powell and repair the tele
graph line between Pretoria and Rusten
burg. Hunter is moving from Potchef
fitroom. His advance brigade expects to
reach Johannesburg on June 19. Buller,
I hope, is at Standerton. Heidelberg will
be occupied from this place shortly, and
then the Orange River will be completely
cut off from the Transvaal.
"'Baden-Powell reports that the district
-through which he passed is settling down
satisfactorily. Over 1000 stand of arms
were surrendered, and Hans Eloff and
Plet Kruger, a son of President Kruger,
were to make submission to him yester
day, having been previously disarmed on
their farms.
"Botha's army has retired and Is be
lieved to be at Mlddelburg. His rear
guard was surprised and entirely routed
by Ian Hamilton's Mounted Infantry."
Rumor is rife in London that Roberts
is negotiating with President Kruger and
General Botha, through their wives, re
garding terms of surrender.
A telegram from Cape Town announces
that the Ministerial deadlock is relieved.
Sir John Gordon Sprigg hopes to have
a Ministry formed by Monday, and it is
believed Rose Innes will accept a port
folio. A dispatch from Lalng's Nek dated to
day, says that General Christian Botha's
next stand will be Paardelkop, but with a
"reduced force.
A German ambulance captured by Gen
eral Buller has been sent to Durban,
where It will be allowed to return to the
Transvaal via Delagoa Bay.
Schrelncr's Rcsteraatlon.
PAARI. Cape Colony, June 16. At to
day's meeting of the Afrikander Bund
Congress, a letter was read from the late
Premier, William Schrelner, announcing
his resignation and describing the cause
of the differences between himself and his
colleagues in the Cabinet, which left no
other course open to him. The Congress
adopted a resolution expressing thanks to
the Premier for his services to the coun
try, but Indorsing the opposition of the
Bund members of Parliament to the
measures supported by Mr. Schrelner.

"We Xeed Sleep.
One of the medical journals pleads hard
for more sleep for every one, and espe
cially for medical men, wno are cut short
of "Nature's soft nurse." How doctors
ere to get their extra hours Is not sug
gested, but the average person is recom
mended to emulate the dormouse and
learn to "drop off" at sundry times and
In divers places. Undoubtedly, it is true
that while we are particular nowadays
about our, food, our sanitation, our exer
cise and general hygiene, we seem to fan
cy that we can do wrth less and less
sleep.
People rise up early and take rest late;
insomnia Is a prevalent plague, and nerv
ous disorders victimize all sorts and con
ditions of men and women. There is not
time, apparently, to got the proper al
lowance of sleep In bed. and the Lancet
even goes so far as to say this is not es
sential. However, tho cultivating of a
habit of sleeping at odd moments would
not be without its drawbacks, although
It would also have its advantages. It
would be awkward, for example, to hare
one's guests taking rest during a. party;
but, on the other hand. It would be de
lightful to quench bore; by simply taking
fort winks whenever a particularly
prosy story was being told.
"Such stuff as dreams are made on"
may not exactly be supplied to order, but,
according to a distinguished scientist,
who baa been devoting a great deal of
time to the subject, we may do much
toward controlling our dreams by the po
sition we take in sleep and the amount
of sleep we take. The recipe for pro
ducing a bad dream is one that every
body knows; but it seems less easy to
Insure one of the pattern dreamed by
princesses in fairy tale-s. It Is less pleas
ant, of course, to dream that Kruger Is
rolling you down Majuba Hill, at the foot
of which a savage Swazl is awaiting you
wtth a spear, than to dream that it has
Just been discovered that you are heir
to immense estates; but, at all events,
there Is more satisfaction In awaking
from the one than the other.
CAMPAIGN'S LITERATURE.
lGO,00O,000 Pieees of Literature Seat
Oat to "Wis Votes.
It has been said that the distribution of
literature has come to be about the most
Important feature of a National Com
mittee's work, say I A. Coolldge, In
Alnslee'a This phase of campaigning has
reached truly colossal proportions. The
head of the literary bureau of a National
Committee must be a man of rare Judg
ment, of varied resources and of unusual
executive ability. The head of the Re
publican literary bureau in 1S96 "was Perry
S. Heath, now Assistant Postmaster-General.
The head of the Democratic bureau
was Daniel McConville, of Ohio. Docu
ments were sent out from both headquar
ters by the ton. The Republican commit
tee distributed over 160.000,000 pieces of
"literature." Over 16,000 packages were
sent by freight or express, and over 130
carloads of printed matter. In the ship
ping department alone 275 people were
employed. The distribution by the Demo
cratic committee was almost equally as
large.
The work has been reduced to a science.
Each committee has lists of voters which
are furnished originally by the -various
local committees in states and Congres
sional districts, and these lists are so ar
ranged that, so far as possible. Just the
right kind of document will be sent to
each voter, and Just the right kind of ar
gument will be presented to each mind.
The Republican and Democratic National
Committees today each have at least 3,000,
000 names on their lists. By far the larger
proportion of documents distributed are
speeches in Congress, which go out under
Congressional franks, thus reducing Im
mensely tho expenditure for postage. Of
such great advantage Is this that in the
Congressional session immediately preced
ing a Presidential campaign, many
speeches are made chiefly with a view to
their distribution. Entire books have been
inserted in the Congressional Record
In this way. In a recent Congress, Tom
Johnson, the millionaire Congressman
from Ohio, printed as a part of his speech
Henry George's book on "Progress and
Poverty," and this waB sent out by the
hundreds of thousands under Congression
al franks. Of course, tho National com
mittees have to bear the expense of pa
per and printing,
This class of documents is far from com
prising all that go out. The literary bu
reau of a National committee Is a great
workshop. The Republican committee In
l9fi, employed 27 writers, most of them
specialists on the tariff, on currency, and
on other topics of a political nature, and
those men were kept busy at headquar
ters constantly preparing timely material
as the occasion might demand. Much of
this work was sent out through the news
papers, and three or four columns of mat
ter for this purpose were prepared every
day. Statements, cards, explanations. In
terviews were distributed to the press In
the guise of news. One of the rooms at
headquarters was lined with books of ref
erence, and two or three men were kept
busj' all the time responding to telegrams
from all over tho country asking for in
formation on all sorts of questions. A
speaker assigned to talk in a given town
would pick up the local opposition paper
on his arrival and find a statement about
the tariff or about the currency which he
thought he ought to refer to on the plat
form that night. He would telegraph
promptly to headquarters for exact In
formation, and within an hour or two
he would receive a reply telling him ex
actly how he could meet tho point which
had been raised. Similar inquiries would
come dally from editors of newspapers in
remote districts which lacked reference
facilities of their own. The press bureau
was a highly Important adjunct to the
literary department. Over 12,000 newspa
pers were furnished with plate matter,
patent lnsldes and occasional editorials.
Bulletins were sent dally by telegraph
at the expense of the committee to 100
morning newspapers and to 150 afternoon
prints. These bulletins ranged all the way
from 100 to 300 words In length.
There were special departments for al
most ever" conceivable class of popula
tion. Men were kept busy preparing doc
uments in German. Swedish. Danish,
Polish and Hebrew, which were to be sent
to localities where any one of these lan
guages happened to prevail. There was a
colored bureau which had charge of all
questions relating to the" colored vote,
sending out literature to convince the
negro that his interests lay in continuing
to support tho Republican party. There
was a woman's bureau under the charge
of Mrs. J. Ellen Foster, who had 15
women in her department preparing for
distribution literature calculated to af
fect favorably the feminine mind. For it
is recognized by the politicians that, al
though there are few states where women
are allowed to vote, there Is not one in
which they do not exerclso a great and
sometimes decisive Influence upon the bal
lot. There were departments to look af
ter commercial travelers, bicycles, sav
ings Institutions and life insurance com
panies. The ReKtcldes' "Well.
New York Post.
Tho contractors who are tearing down
tho buildings near the Tale campus to
make room for the new Tale bicenten
nial buildings discovered the old regicides'
well. It is about a block north of the
Tale campus, under the front porch of a
brick house. It has been covered up for
half a century, but the wall remains and
a drain leads from the surface. Into the
shaft of the well.
In this land, which was far out from
the center of New Haven 100 years ago,
tradition has it that the three Engl'oh

and William Goffee. lived In retirement
in a hut which they had built in the
woods. Near this spot they dug the well.
They remained only a short time in their

It Is said that tho college will put a

THE SUBURBAN HANDICAP
KCTLKY MACK WON A GREAT RACB
FROM ETHELBERT.

Is Tferrs.
NEW TORK. June 16. With a good
track under him and a fine sky above,
Kinley Mack, with McCue up, took the
$10,000 Suburban Handicap away from the
great Ethelbert today at Sheepshead Bay
by a length and a half. Ethelbert was
punished hard all the way through the
stretch, but to no avail, while Gulden ran
In third and Imp and Jean Beraud trailed
home in the ruck.
There was an enormous crowd at the
track. The horses paraded past the grand
stand to the post soon after 4 o'clock,
and were promptly lined up In front of
the barrier, ready for the start. Two
false breaks were made in the first 10
minutes, but about Ave minutes later the
starter caught the horses all in good line
and sent them away, all together. They
went thundering down the stretch for the
first time with Imp leading, Jean Beraud
second, Kinley Mack third and Ethel
bert fourth, but dropping back. Before
they had completed the lower turn Jean
Beraud poked his head in- front of Imp.
and they were running as a pair a length
In front of Kinley Mack, who was a
length in front of Gulden. The great
Ethelbert was slowly dropping back, and
soon took seventh position.
Inch by Inch, foot by foot, Jean Beraud
slowly slipped away from the others, and,
when half a mile had passed, he had a
length the best of It Next to Jean Be
raud came Imp. with a head the advant
age of Kinley Mack, who was hanging on
like grim death. Gulden was still In fourth
place and the others close up. Mahon still
laid back. Joan Beraud'a margin began to
get smaller and smaller as the horses and
Jockeys were straining every nerve to get
closer to the leader.
They whirled past the flve-furlong post
as If they were In a four-mile race. In
stead of a short mile and a quarter. Thir
teen seconds more and the sixth furlong
post was reached In 1:15, with Jean Be
raud In front, and Imp but a heed in
front of Kinley Mack, who was half a
length ahead of Gulden. Ethelbert still
loped along, three lengths back.
Around the upper turn they charged, no
change being mode In the pace. Thirteen
seconds more ticked off on the
timer's watch before the seven-furlong
pole was passed. Imp was' faltering: eo
wns Jean Beraud, but the neck he hod
over Imp was now a length. McCue came
sailing along with Kinley Mack. Turner
dug his heels Into the quivering flanks of
Jean Beraud, and tho gallant son of His
Highness responded to the best of his
ability. He did not stay In front but for
a few seconds, and then began to falter.
He soon Joined Imp, who also had about
enough of the race.
As the horses rounded the upper turn
and sailed into the short straight. Kin
ley Mack was In the front ranks, a length
to the good over Jean Beraud, while the
3-year-old Gulden was looking up danger
ously close, having passed Imp, who was
falling back on Ethelbert. whom Maher
had at last urged along Into fifth place. It
was a little late for the move, but there
were hopes In tho minds of those who
had pinned their faith to the Belmont
horse that he might still land the rich
stake and do tho Montana trick over
again.
The turn was passed and the Judges'
stand was In sight. Kinley Mack was
swinging along In the least bit of a hurry.
Jean Beraud was spent completely and
dropping back towards the rear. Imp was
hanging on to fourth place and to Ethel
bert. Like a whirlwind Ethelbert was
coming through the stretch. Maher was
digging In his heels In a frantic effort
to make up the Immense amount of ground
ho had lost during the flrst mile of h!
Journey, and shouts of encouragement
wero roared at him from the crowd. He
was eating up the ground in bounds, as
he seemed fairly to fly through the stretch.
First Imp was met and passed, as if
she was standing still. Then there was
Gulden to reckon with, and the 3-year-old
looked as If she was anchored, so fast did
Ethelbert leave him in the rear.
Now there was a furlong to go. and the
great crowd began to shout Ethelbert.
as It to help the gallant thoroughbred
along. There was no use for Malipr to
spur or flog him. The horse knew what
was wanted of him. As If in resentment
of tho pull on him during the early part of
the rate, he gathered himself together, dug
his toes into the yielding earth and seemed
fairly to crouch and spring with each
space-devouring stride. It was heart
breaking to see that gallant thoroughbred,
with fire in his eyes, his red nostrils flar
ing and hM heart beating hard with every
stride, doing his best to overtake Kinley
Mack. But it was a hopeless task. Foot
by foot he cut down the great lead, but
tho distance was so short, and. as they
rushed post the wire, Kinley Mack was
tho victor by a length and a half over
Ethelbert, having run the last quarter In
25 3-5. Ethelbert made a marvelous race
at tho last. McCue was hoisted Into tho
floral Jockey's chair, and the vast crowd
cheered, and then a majority of the peo
ple melted away like magic, for most of
them had come only for the Suburban.
The results were:
Five furlongs Elizabeth M. won, Dub

Therer Is comfort In the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills every
wish In curing rheumatism, pain In the
back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part
of the urinary passage. It corrects Inability
to hold water and scalding pain in passing

wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to go often
during the day, and to get up many times
during the night. The mild and the extra

realized. It stands the highest for its won

SURGEONS IN BATTLE.
Their Work Is Now Mostly Within
the Zone of Fin.
Army and Navy Journal.
One of the results of the enormous In
crease In the range of modern rifles has
been a serious ono for Army eurgeons.
So tremendously has the width of tho
"zona of fire" In South Africa been in
creased that the surgeon must practlcally
be almost as cont'nually under Are as the
fighting line Itself and, what 13 worse,
carry out all his flrst dressings and emer
gency operations with the knowledge that
at any moment another bullet may either
render his ministrations unnecessary or
put an abrupt stop to them.
The flrst sign of hesitation on the part
of medical officers to go wherever their
services are required has yet to be record
ed, and many of them have received spe
cial mention for conspicuous braver- In
tho discharge of their errand of mercy.
Among these Is Surgeon-Major Babtle,
who, after the annihilation of Long's bat
ter" in its reckless charge to the front at
tho flrst attempt to crose the Tugela rode
not merely up to the firing line, but far
In advance of It, across a belt which had
been literally swept clear of every living
thing by the storm of bullets, to reach
a gully Into which the survivors of the
batter, Including poor young Lieutenant
Roberts, son of the Commander-in-Chief,
had dragged themselves for shelter. His
horse was killed under him, but he him
self escaped In some marvelous manner,
and for seven hours was In sole charge of
a score or more of wounded men, lylns
under a blazing African eun and without
water, save that contained In his own bot
tle, which he doled out In dram doses.
A Pfevf-Koand Wood.
New Tork Press.
A new and thoroughly suitable vsood
for railroad ties has been found In the
forests In the northern part of the Argen
tine Republic. It is the red quebracho.
It is an exceedingly hard wood, and in
Its interior, not alone in the bark. Is
15 to 20 per cent tannin, which keeps the
wood from rotting, no matter in what
substance it Is burled. The wood has
been used in Europe for tanning, but out
side of the Argentine Republic it3 utility
to railroads, It seem?. Is yet to be discov
ered, and appreciated. Posts made of
this wood, which have been burled 50
years m- land, furrowed and gulUed by
the torrential mlnp of Summer, have been
found to be In as good condition as If
they had been felled recently.
In the Argentine Republic ballast for
railroad beds Is unknown, and the ties aro
laid on the ground, whioh frequently Is
sandy and exposed to heavy rains and
dried by intense heat So Iron cross ties
were used until 4t was found that the red
quebracho wns undeniably the best wood
thnt could be used for the purpose. It
not only Is so hard a wood that it has to
be bored before spikes and bolts can bo
driven into it. but It Is unusually heavy.
It does not spilt or become compressed
with blows.
Styrla's Iron City.
Philadelphia Record.
One of the busiest places In the Au3tro
Hungarlan Empire is a lfttle town In
Styria ESsenevz. Elsenevz is, as the nama
Itself says (Elvenevy means iron ore),
Immensely rich In iron ore, and its
mountains have been worked for centu
ries. The deposits aro said to be inex
haustible. It Is stated on good authority
that iron ore was first worked there in
the year 712; a stone column erected In
17S2 gives data on the first working of
the ore. The Styrian iron Is world-renowned,
and finds Its way all over Eu
rope. For the manufacture of steel It Is
unrivaled. The Styrian steel is largely
used m Austria-Hungary, Germany,
France, Belgium and England for the
manufacture of swords, cutler and flno
Instruments and tools. The output of
the mines of Elsenevz amounts to over
5,000,000 quintals, or 600,000 tons, a year.
Authors Assist the Dramatists.
The Forum.
The dramatization of books is tho latest
stage phenomenon, and It has assumed
such Importance that tho writer of a
covel now seems to have the manager in
view while he Is writing for the publisher.
The writer of a book may not become
his own dramatlzer, but the drnmitaza
tlon, even if by other hands. Is profitable
to him. With the dramatic writer the
problem, is to find his subject. The book
gives it, and the theatrical manager is
willing to compensate tho writer in lib
eral fashion.

TIME TO
If Doctor Copeland were asked what
medical teaching would accomplish, the
greatest good, he would unhesitatingly
say:
The lesson to those frith enfeebled
constitntlons, weak langs, or a ten
dency to Bronchial Trouble or Cob
snraptlon, of the vital opportaaltles
that Summer offers 'them.
The best teaching is the teaching that
will save the most lives.
And this lesson to those with the slight
est predisposition to Consumption will
savo moro Uvea than any that could be
taught?
In tho Summer, catarrh may be more
speedily cured; with nature helping tho
work, the result is more certain; after
the cure the constitution resumes 'its nor
mal condition more quickly; those so
feeble that they should not even ex
poeo themselves to the" weather during
the Winter may visit the offices, and aro
helped In the progress of treatment, rath
er than Injured, by exposure to outdoor
air.
This Is what the opportunity of tho
Summer months means.
Indeed, with many of the more serious
cases where long-neglected Catarrhal dis
ease Invading the. Bronchial Tubes, which
convey the air to the lungs, has taken
the final advance into the tissues of the
lungs themselves, has reached the end of
the road lined with the mucous mem
brane upon which It lives and feeds, and,
finding no new tissue, settles down to
feed upon the lung cells with many of
these serious cases treatment during the
Spring and Summer months Is the only
hope. Little. If any. he'p can be prom
ised them during the Winter.
It Is then dnrln? the Snmm-r that
Catarrh In Its early stagren, Involv
ing? maybe the nn-ol passages and
throat and vocal cord- and wind
pipe, may he most speedily cared,
and the danger of Its extension Into
the deeper part of the Bronchial
Tabes or Inn K" averted.
It Is then only dnrlng the Summer
months thnt those more desperate
ca-ies Involving: the lni-p them
selves may be treated with any hope.
So there is abundant reason for dwell
ing upon this matter.
More Plain Talk From People You Know.
Miss M. A. Taylor, 449 East Sher
man street. Portland: I suffered from
catarrh since childhood. Tho worst of my
trouble was in my stomach and bowels.
Everything I ate gave me great distress,
followed by bloating and belching. My
stomach was sore and tender. I had diar
rhoea, with gas and gurgling in the bow
els. The disease affected my ears and I
had a ringing and buzzing In the left ear
and my hearing was very dull. I began
a course of treatment at the Copeland
Institute and am thankful to say that
now I am strong and well.
Mr. Ernest Kroner, 107 Monroe
street, Portland: Our little boy Leo was
a great sufferer from catarrh, "compli
cated with frequent attacks of tonsllltis.
His condition caused us grave alarm; for,
in spite of all treatment, he grew steadily
worse, and his general health became
greatly Impaired. The Copeland physi
cians cured him perfectly.
Mr. L. R. Cheadle, proprietor of the
Cascade dairy, Lebanon, Or., well known
In Portland: Several years ago I took
a courso of treatment at the Copeland
Institute for catarrh and deafness, the
result of scarlet fever In chtldhood. I had
a nasty discbarge from" both ears. My
hearing was very dull, and I was under
a constant strain to understand what was
said.
I had doctored for years without benefit.
I then decided to take up the Copeland
treatment, and from my own personal ex--porience
I can and do say that this treat
ment Is all that Is claimed for It, for It
brought me a permanent and radical cure.
Mr. Al Thornton, Vancouver,
Wash.: For 20 years I suffered with my
head and stomach. I was bloated with
gas, had soreness and pain In the stom
ach and heart palpitation. I was weak
and unfit for work. The Copeland phy
sicians cured mo thoroughly and perma
nently. Consultation Tree.

Persian Rellrloni.
Indianapolis Nows.
Tho religion of the Persians Is a schis
matic Mahometan sect styled the Chlltes,
originating with All, while the Arabs and
the Turks are for the most part Sunnlsts.
The Chiltes claim that All, to the exclu
sion of all other successors of Mahomet
recognized by the Sunnlsts, is at least
equal In holiness to Mahomet himself.
The Sunnlsts put Mahomet aoove every
thing, and accept unreservedly the sum
of his doctrines, the Sonna, while the
Ohlites regard the Sonna as an apocryphal
work unworthy of confidence.

As long as the disease was confined,

left me weak and miserable. I had lost

I was under the care of a well-recommended
doctor for some time, but ho
