BOERS DESTROY
ARMORED TRAIN
An! K'U Fifteen EiiElisi Troops South
PREPARING TO
ATTACK CITY
Londoners arc Unjustly Disposed to
Liken the Action of Boers to That
of Blowing Up the Maine.
London', Oct. Hi. The Evening News
publishes the following dispatch from
CupoTown: "Armored train hns been
destroyed soutii of Mafekiug. Filteen
Hritish troopB killed. Boors shelled the
wreckage ufter the truin was destroyed. "
An ofliuial disputuh received at the
Colonial office Bays: "Armored truin
whh destroyed near Krunipan. station
while on way to Mafekiug with cutis."
This disposes of the fear that many
women and children were involved in
the dieaetcr.
London, Oct. 1.'!. A dispatch from
Paris lalo this afternoon says the Iioere,
with twelve guns, ure preparing to as
eauit Mufokinx.
London, Oct. 13. The announcement
that Hoe re destroyed an armored train
on the western border of the Tri'iisvaul
is calculated to bring home to the "man-in-the-street"
the realities of war. At
tempts are made to liken the occurrence
to the blowing up of the (J. S. battle
nliip Maine in Havana harbor, bat that
event occurred 4n times of peace. The
Boers wore doubtless within their rights
us belligerents, if they are responsible
for the destruction of the train.
London, Oct. IS. A notable change
in the position of it 11 airs is the presence
of the Boers at Martiboga, -15 miles south
of Mafekiug, which seems to Indlcuto
that thoy are endeavoring to get Colonel
Iladen Powell between two fires.
The gravity of the Boer advance can
lie better estimated when it is realized
that tney will thereby cut the railwoy
and telegraphic communications to the
north, isolating several British positions
which must be speedily relieved. De
spite optimistic reports of tlio ability of
Mafekiug to repel attack, the greatest
anxiety prevails hero regaidlug the tita
nium there, as it is known the redoubt'
able commundant, Gronjo, who captured
the Jameson ruidere, has the strongest
force yet put into the field, with the
exception of Comtnandant-CTenural Jou
bert's force.
Conje's troops number between 9000
and 10,000 men. The position in Natal
hus not materially changed.
Boers Issue a Manifesto.
1'uktoiua, Oct. 12. Via Lorenzo Mar
que. An official manifesto has just
been addroBsod to Afrikanders through
out SjuUi Africa appealing to them to
resist the "unjust demands of Great
Britain," and accusing Lord Salisbury,
Mr. Chamberlain and SirAlfred Milner
of treachery. It blauios the queen for
condoning what it describes as "Cham
bjrlnin'u criminal policy," and declares
tliut "the clear desire and object of
Great Britain is to doptlvo the Trans
vaal of independence jbn account of the
gold mines of the Hand."
The manifesto says Great Britain of
fered two alternatives': "Fivo-year fran
chise of war," and tl)en goes on to Bay :
"The dllToronco between the two gov
ernments of two years on the trnmihise
question is considered by hor majesty's
government sufficient justification for an
endeavor to swallow two republics." In
conclusion, it reminds the Afrikanders
that "God will assuredly defend the
tight."
The manifesto ia signed by Kelt:, sec
retary of Htate. A million copleB will bo
printed in Dutch and English.

Yacht Race Again Postponed.
Nuw Yoke, Oct. 13. The prospects
for a race between Columbia and Sham
rock in the present series of contests for
America's cup were not bright af7
o'clock this morning. The Bnme old fog
hung over the upper bay, although there
was more life in the air and the waters
were not as glasslike ne on previous
days. What little wind was blowing
came from the Northwest.
At 10:30 the wind had not increased
to any appreciable extent and a dense
fog settled over the course, There being
no prospect of a clearing the race was
postponed until tomorrow.
YOUNG LADY'S
SAD EXPERIENCE
SHE THOUGHT IT WAS FORTUNE-
TELLING.
A very funny story was told yesterday
by Stryner, the electric doctor, obout a
young lady who came ,to him while at
Astoria to have her fortune told by
electricity. She had heard of his re
markable ability in . reading diEeaseB by
that method, and must have presumed
the rest. When accosted the doctor
said: "Why, Miss, I am not a fortune
teller." "Oli ! you are not. I am so
sorry, for I wonted to know who i was
going to marry." To this Sty.ner smil
ingly replied : "That would be hard to
tell ; it might bo Tom, Dick or Harry,
for all I know. "Oh! doctor," ex
claimed the young lady in surprise,
"How did you know all their names?"
The electric doctor is never unreason
able in his cluime,and promises nothing
hut what ho feels can be accomplished.
When ho trents eicknoss by electricity

LARGE SALE
OF WHEAT
Sixty Thousand Bushels at La Grande
at About Fifty Cents.
L.v Gicande, Or., Oct. 12. The largest
sale of Grande Ronde wheat for the sea
son is that just made to Portland buy
ers by A. B. Conley, the local wheat
king, in which 00,000 bushels were de
posed of. Mr. Conley hus not yet inado
known the price, but says that the buy
ers came to his terms. Since it has al
ready been announced that he held for
fifty centp, it is supposed that he did
not nceive less.
There vn9 some disagreement as to
quality of wheat to be included in the
sale, the buyeis refusing at first to pay
the same for the Montana red as for the
bluestera, or fortyfold, but the entire lot
finally went atone price, that being the
only way in which Mr. Conley would
sell. He would not have sold at all but
for the fact that it was neceaaary to
make room for the crop now being
threshed. He findB on his return that
it will be necessary to dispose of 10.000
to 20.000 bushels more, as the yield lias
been greater than he expected. He will
hold 00,000 bushels, the capacity of the
warehouses, for the spring market.

The President Suspender is not a "freak," but a practical nov--and
while a novelty, it is also a SUCCESS.
Its advantages over all others are more numerous than any one
suspender has previously been able to claim.
There is nothing to break, get out of order, or give way nothing
complicated.
'It is adjusted to the trousers in the same way as an ordinary sus
