WAR FAR FROM
BEING OVER
England Has Awakened to Fact in
South Africa Kitchener Wants
More Men.
Lo.snox, Dec. 17, 4 a. tn. Lord Salis
bury and tiis colleagues mast today (eel
greatly relieved that parliament was pro
rogued Saturday. A grim irony now at
taches to Lord Roberts' description of
tlie war as "over." Yesterday the war'
office, for the first time in many months,
remained open throughout Sunday, in
response to the demand of public
anxiety to learn the latest news.
Lord Kitchener is reported to have
sent a fre?h and urgent request to the
government to send out every available
mounted man. With General Dewet
again escaped through the British cordon
in ttie neighborhood of Thahachu, the
serious affairs at Vryheld and Zastron
and the Magalies Berg disaster confront
ing the British people, they will begin
to ask, as they do, why Lord Roberts is
allowed to come home.
Ttie Colonial office onuounces its decis
ion to enlist 5000 men, instead of 1000,
previously nsked, to be recruited in
Great Britain for General Baden-Powell's
constabulary, which ehowB that recurit
ing in South Africa is less active than
has been anticipated. Dispatches from
Lourenco Marques assert that nil tbe
Boer forces are plentifully supplied with
ammunition, but terribly in want of food
and clothing.
Mr. Krnger, at Thu Hague, received
William Stead yesterday. Mr. Stead
urged him to continue his tour of Europe
and go to America. The Boer states
man listeued attentively, but declined to
commit himEelf in any detinite state
ment. It is understood tie Is about to
remove from his hotel to a private resi
dence, hb though contemplating a pro
longed stay at The Hague.

It looks now as if some agreement would
have to be reached that the shipping bill
would not been pressed at this session
in order to secuie action on the treaty or
on the Nicaragua canal bill. The friends
of the canal believe that it is unwise to
pass the bill until the Clayton-Bulwer
treaty is superseded. It is doubtful
whether the president would sign any
hill unless the Hay-Pauncefote treaty is
ratified or something else is done which
will prevent complications that would
ensue should the United States begin to
build the canal with the Clayton-Bulwer
treaty will recognized. While the friends
of the canal still remain hopeful, it looks
as if the whole matter were now shaping
to defeat both canal and ship subsidy.

Comes from Dr. D. B. Cargile, of
Washita, I. T. He writes:
"Four bottles of Electric Bitters has
cured Mrs. Brewer of scrofula, which had
caused her great suffering lor years.
Terrible sores would break out on her
head and face, and the best doctors
could give no help; but her cure is com
plete and her health is excellent." This
shows what thousands have proved,
that Electric Bitters is the best blood
purifier known. It's the supreme
remedy for eczema, tetter, salt rheum,
ulcers, boils and running sores. It
stimulates liver, kidneys and bowels,
exnels poisons, helps digestion and
builds up the strength. Only CO cents.

Washington, Dec. 15. The house to
day passed the war revenue reduction
bill. The opposition sought to recommit
the bill with instructions to report back
a measure reducing the revenue at least
$70,000,000 and including a provision for
an income tax, so drawn as to escape an
adverse decision of the supreme court.
Tbe motion failed, 131 to loo. Thereupon
the bill was passed without the concur
rence oi the minority, who refrained from
voting. The amendments placed in the
bill yesterday to tax express receipts
wae defeated on au aye and no vote in
the house, 125 to 1159. The pension ap
propriation bill, carrying $145, 145,230,
was passed in exactly thirteen minutes.

Cohvai.us Or., Dec. 15. While plow-
ing a summpr fallow field that was
cropped this season in Fall wheat, Wal
ter Yates yesterday afternoon found that
he was turning up millions of little bugs
that are in appearance identical with the
grain aphis, the plowing is six inches
deep, and the soil thrown out is per
meated with the bugs. Joseph Yates,
who owns the farm and has fanned it
for thirty years, believes the bugs to be
the regulation aphis, and he further be
lieves their work at the roots of the
wheat to have been largely responsible j
for the partial crop failure on the same
field this season. Up to a late period in
the season the prospect for a splendid
crop was very bright, but at threshing
time but litteen bushels per aero was
realized, The same field in the past lias
always returned from 25 to 30 or more
bushels of wheat per acre.
Two weeks ago Lon Locke, plowing on
the J. Fred Yates farm adjoining, dis
covered multitudes of bugs of tho same
kind, and all the farmers in the neigh
borhood declare them to be aphis. After
an investigation of a eimilar discovery a
couple of yearB ago, a member of the
experiment station etafl announced that
the bugs were not grain aphis. The
Yates farms aro located in Linn county,
three miles east of the Corvallis ferry.

on a charge of counterfeiting. Last Tuee-

office building at San Francisco noticed
two men at work in a back room in a
building some distance away. Occasion
ally one of the men came to the window
and intently looked at an object in his

and came to the conclusion that tho men

facts to George JIazen, of the Western

procured a field glass, and on Wednesday
went up on top of the postoflice building,

that grand medicine called Acker's English Remedy for Throat and Lung
Troubles. It saves children every timo when they arc attacked by croup.
Every mother should know about
it, and I will tell about my expe
rience. I had a darling boy of four
years to dio with croup. My doctor
did all hu could, but the child
could not ho made to vomit. That
wasbuforo I know of Acker's ling
lish Remedy. After I did hear of
it, I got a bottle. When our littlo
eighteen -months -old girl was
stricken with croup, I gavo hor

minutes sho vomited and was but
