Another dispatch to the Associated

morning, says:
"After four daV march eastward at
the foot of the Biggarfcberg ridges in the
direction of Helpinaaker, which was oc
cupied by the federals, the Second Bri
gade on Sunday led the attack. Dun
duuald's cavalry broke the Boers' center,
and Bethuenes' horBe advanced on their
extreme- right in the direction of
Pnmeroy. A small body of burghers oc
cupied a ridge overlooking Helpinaaker,
but they did not wait for an assault."
Jteceut scouting in the .direction of
Dundee has shown that the federals were
in great force on Biggarsberg, so up
nnreutlv General Buller concluded that
It whs necessary to clear them from his
rear before commencing a movement in
the direction of the Drakensburg range.

PLANNING THEIR
TRUST PLANK
Controller Coler, of New York, Is
Drafting One.
New York, May 14. Controller Coler
is to send Chairman Jones, of the demo
cratic national committee, this week a
draft of the truet plank which he wishes
incorporated in the democratic national
platform. Mr. Coler last night said that
Chairman Jones was pleased with his
proposition, and that he felt sure it
would be part of the platform.
"I did not discuss candidates either
here or in the national field with Chair
man Jones," said Mr. Coler. "We did
talk about political conditions in this
state, and 1 told him the democratic
party was going to carry the state. I
feel fcure it will do so."
Mr. Coler said he would eupporl the
candidates of the national convention.
He had not talked of the silver issue
with Mr. Jones.
"I think," eaid Mr. Coler, "that the
question of commercialism is one of the
most important now before the people.
I have consulted with some of the state
leaders, and I believe I will get this
plank into the state platform as well as
the national platform. I want to get it
into all the state platforms, and I shall
try to do so. The primary purpose of
the plank which I suggest ie to stop the
incorporation of companies merely for
purposes of manipulation. Publicity is
what I seek. A roan's private business
is his own eecret, but as soon as he re
ceives a charter from the state, it be
comes a public business and the etate
should control it.
"Every great corporation that controls
public utilities has at its head men who
have held political office. Having gained
knowledge of political methods while
holding office by the franchise of the
people, they turn the knowledge acquired
against the people. The vast and to
some extent illegitimate fortunes of to
day are the result of public men giving
to private corporations private rights."

QUICK RELIEF FIIOM PAIN.
All who use Chamberlain Pain Balm
for rheumatism aro delighted with the
quick relief from pain which it affords.
When speaking of this Mr. D. X. Sinks,
of Troy, Ohio, says: "Some time ago I
had a seve attack of rheumatism in my
arm and shoulder. I tried numerous
remedies, but got no relief until I was
recommended by Messrs. Geo, F, Par-
eons & Co., druggists of this place, to
try Chamberlain's Pain Balm. They
recommenned it bo highly that I bought
a bottle. ua noon relieved of all pain.
I have since recommended this lini
ment to many of my friends, who agree
with me that it is the best remedy for
muscular rheumatism in the market.

Need of the Church,
San FiiANCihco, May 14. Bev. T. J.
Willis, of New York, read u paper be
fore the Presbyterian ministers of this
city today on "The Greatest Needs of
the Church." He deplored the tendency
of ministers to try to hold their congrega
tions by preaching materialistic sermons.
Speaking of the higher criticism, he
said :
"Wo ministers dare not contend
against higher criticism dare not con
tend against it for fear of being spoken
of as unlettered men, What shall we
have left if this work of unbelief con
tinues? We need nothing so much as a
thorough revival of Pentecostal religion.
Science, in its mostorratioand Irreverent
days, never did one- thousandth pare as
much to unsettle confidence in the divine
revelation as to the immature, half-
digested and undemonstrative theories
which our critics have been putting forth
have done. It is not tho Bible which is
suffering at their hands, but it is the
itul) in the liiblo wtilcli is imperiled.
Thy might as well shoot peas at
Gibraltar with a child's popgun us to
try to uiidermine the good book."
