upon to take part in evangelistic work away
li'otn iioino. isot long

Creek, N. Y., which is

a bad cough, and be
came so hoarso that I
could hardly
preach to my
congregation.
It was not only
distressing in a
bodily sense,
but extremely
embarrassing to
enter the pulpit
in this condi
tion. I had
heard of Ack
er's English Romcdy and, after service, I
bought a bottlo and began taking it. Tho next
night my throat was nearly well, and I deliv
ered my sermon without difllculty. In a few
days I was thoroughly cured. I conceive it to
bo my duty to benefit mankind physically as
well us spiritually whenever I can, and am
glad to write these words in pruiso of this
srniul old medicine. Those with sensitive
throatsaud those whocutchcoldbasilyttliould
certainly tuko Acker's English Remedy."

Philadelphia, Jan. 4. Tho friends
of Roland Reed in this city were advised
today that Dr. Bull had performed a
hecond operation upon the comedian in
New York. The first operation, per
formed about a week Bgo, was supposed
to have been made necessary by nn at
tack of appendicitis. When the wound
was explored, however, the surgeons
discovered that Mr. Reed whb suffering,
from itn advanced attack of Intestinal
cancer. Mr. Reed va9 too weak to Btand
a radical operation at that time, and a
delay was agreed upon. The radical
operation was performed today, nnd from
its nature little hope is held out for his
recovery.

Boers Ate More Than Successful Not
Alone in Holding the Town.
Rensiiukg, Capo Colony, Jan. 4.
(Evening) Colesburg has not yet been
occupied. The Boers unexpectedly at
tacked the British left at daybreak this
morning, but were repulsed. They oc
cupied the lii lis to the north of town, but
were eventually driven out of their posi
tion after an hour's shelling by our guns.
They still hold, however, the hills imme
diately surrounding the town, preventing
the British from advancing along the
railway.
Tho British loss in today's engage
ments was light, while the Boers are
reported to have lost 100, including
twenty prisoners who were taken by
mounted infantry about midday. Boer
attackers numbered a thousand nier,
The Inniskilling dragoona cut their way
through the Boers, who were forced to
retreat by the heavy artillery' and
musketry fire.
London, Jan. 5. A MafekingdiBpatch
just received, but dated December 26,
confirms reports of the British sortie
from that place, which was first an
nounced from Pretoria, December 30.
The Mafeking dispatch says:
"There was a sortie today with a re
view of capturing the Boer earthworks,
but it was successful. The works were
crowded with Boers awaiting a?sault,
and a hail of bullets forced the British
to retire, killing and woundinga number.
The British Btorming party numbered
eighty men, of which number twenty
one were killed and thirty-thrr.e
wounded."
