Headquarters for Dry floods on the Lower Columbia TRENCH'S VICTORY. Th Occupation of Oulesburg; linct BrtUsh Gain. Dls- NKW YORK. Jan. t A dispatch to the Tribima from London, says: In t-nce of the arrival of Lord Robots and the conce.ura.Uon of tlie Sixth And Sewnth, division for a march upon Sprln&foatn, vhe most Btrngvtic point n the Owige tvpubllc. General French's ocjupaUoji of Coleeburj is a distinct gHln for The. Brttit-h cause, liven If tt was brought about cheaply and without a plumed battle, It is of the highest value as an object lesson of whit rirttlah generals tun do when they go ab.HK. it in the right way, and with a mobile force adapted for oper ating against mounted infantry. Gerterul Gatacrv attempted to sur prise the enemy at Storniberg by a night march, but was entrapped In am buscade because he did not have a mobile fort capiMa of good scouting. Gm.tual French attempted the sane tact'ea with a lounted force and suc ceeded In trapping his wily eoemy. who had fallon back from one ln-tronchm-nt portion only to be surpris ed at daybreak on the second lin. Since the week of disaster military croakers have been wiling loudly for some heaven-born general who would point the way to Bloemfontein and rreto-ia. General French's success in outimneuverlng the enemy is proof that supernatural powers are not re quired fee this campaign, but mobile forces led by penertla who know how to direct them with wary skill. In only one battle bus their been anything like a flank attack or a turn ing movement. That was at Elands Laagto. in which guns and prisoners were taken by the British. That battle was planned and won by General French, whose staff college training came out brilliantly in recent opera tions from Haauwpoort to Coleeburg. He has b-?en constantly manuvwirg and within 48 hours has compelled the Putch to evacuate two good positions by turning movements in place of frar.tsi attacks. His uccejs is due to good leaderhip and to th mobility of his forces and it illustrates what might hive beer, done by othar genirals If they had not teen bent on frontal attacks, and if the headquarters staff In London had adapted the army corps to the re quit ements of the campaign instead of carrying out a. prearranged mobil izing schema without any degree of flexibility. From XloduVir river there is a sarks of press dispu.t-hes indicating renewed activity. The Boer portion on the left is reported to have been wecJceeied by a withdrawal of th-j burghrs from the trenches, but this is explained in be midnight dispatches by the heavy can nonading towaria Kimberly. Appar ently the bombardment Was renewed in that quarter while Lord Mefthuen's men were commenting upon the folly of the Boers in waaUng shot upon the Modder river camps. General Bab! agUm has conducted a Every woman should know t tnere is a great nome medical book that tells all atvmt thf wnrn. . . " . i fr jkductive physiology fox women, ana an about the home- l treatment of f diseases pecu liar to the sex. I This book coo tains 1008 pages I and over 700 il- ft I lustrations. It r is called Dr. J4 Pierce's Com- m o n Sense Medical Ad viser. It used to cost $1.50. Over seven hundred thou sand people purchased it at that price and over 1,300,000 people now own copies of it For a limited time copies will be given away free. This great book contains the names.-ad-dresses, photographs and experiences of hundreds of women who were once hope less invalids, but who have been restored to robust womanly health by the use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. This mar velous medicine acts directly on the deli cate organs distinctly feminine. It makes them strong, healthy, vigorous, virile and elastic. It fits for wifehood and mother hood. It banishes the usual suffering of the expectant months, and makes baby's advent easy and almost painless. It robs motherhood of its perils. It insures the robust health of the little new-comer and a bountiful supply of nature's nourishment. It transforms weak, sickly, nervous inva lids into healthy, happy wives and mothers.

For elegant French cloth binding, 31 stamps. Miss Edith Cain, of Clinton, Allegheny Co., P., writes: "After two years of suffering, I bewail Inking Dr. Pierce's Farorite Prescription and am now entirely cured. I had been troubled Willi female weakness for some time and also with a troublesome drain on the system, but Bow I am happy and well." In cases of constipation and torpid liver, no remedy is equal to Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. They reprulate and invigorate the stomarh, liver and bowels. Tbey never fail. One littie " Ptllet " is s gentle laxative and two a mild cathartic.
