GILLESPIE MADE A STATEMENT
Who Are the Boers.
To District Attorney Brown— But Officers
Say Most of If is Untrue.
The common opinion is that the
Boers of the Trausvaal are Dutch­
men, pure aud simple, mollified
somewhat by tho conditions under
which they and their ancestors have
lived for two hundred and fifty
years.
That is only partly true.
Dutch is the predominant strain in
their make up but other blood is in
it.
The original Dutch setllers of
South Africa were mostly of a low
social order.
The isolated and
primitive life they led told still fur­
ther on them. The ships of the
Dutch East India company, then a
great commercial power, brought
mauy Malays to the colony. These
mixed with the colonists. There
was also perhaps some admixture
with the native slaves brought from
the west coast of Africa by Dutch
traders.
But in 1089 occurred a consider­
able infusion of a decidedly differ­
ent stock. A colony of French
Huguenots, driven from their aative
country by religious persecution,
sought refuge at Caps Town. They
took up their abode among the
Dutch colonists; reconciled their
minor differences of religious belief:
intermarried and became one peo­
ple. These Huguenots were of a
much higher class socially and in
tellectually than tho rude Dutch
settlers and exerted a wholesome
influence on the colony.
From these two stocks, with the
slight mixture of Asiatic and Afri­
can blood, was grown the so-called
“ Afrikander” race of South Africa.
When England obtained possession
of the Cape, the Afrikanders did
not take kindly to their rule and,
after much friction, in 1856, the
greater part of them packed up
their traps and made the “ great
trek” up country, fiually settling in
what are now the Orange FreeStato
aud the Transvaal.
It might be difficult to ascertain
the proportion of Dutch aud French
blood in the Boers, but from the
family names which appear in tlicir
records it is evident that tho Hu­
guenot stock must be largely taken
into consideration in estimating the
character of that people.

The officers, upon investigation,
have found most of his statements
to be untrue. That Gillespie was
not in Gold Beach at all at the
times stated, to the knowledge of
the parties he claimed to have Been
and conversed with there. In fact,
his whereabouts at all times from
hi« leaving Zumwnlt's Friday night,
Sept. 15th, until he appeared at
Louis Knapp’s on Wednesday morn­
ing, Sept. 20, has not been com­
pletely traced.
The pension check issued to Mrs.
Edson is also a very strong piece of
evidence.
It is dated at San Fran­
cisco on Sept. 15th, and could only
have reached Mrs. Edson through
the mails on Tuesday.
That night
the crime was committed, and next
morning Gillespie appeared at
Louis Knapp’s, and thence his
movements are definitely known.
It is believed that after leaving
Zumwalt’s be proceeded to the
neighborhood of his victim, and
awaited a favorable opportunity for
commission of the deed.
He has
since virtually admitted to the offic­
ers that he committed the crime.
He wen examined, bound over and
is now in jail at Coquille City.

Sugar Beets for Hogs-
Fetor Fordney and other success­
ful stockraisers of Lost Prairie,
Wallowa county, have been experi­
menting with sugar beets for fatten­
ing hogs with entirely satisfactory
results.
Mr. Fordney says that
twelve tons or more can be raised to
tbe acre aud that the fattening prop­
erties of beets are equal to any kiud
of grain; can bo produced with
much less labor and does not ex­
haust the soil so much as grain, and
that in the future a largo acreage
will be planted in that part of the
country, says the Pendleton E.-O.

A Great
Lumber Contract— Texas Cot It-
The Brtish government has con­
tracted with o lumber firm in
Beaumont, Tex., to supply it with
500,000,000 feet of pine lumber.
T be magnitude of the contract
at firet excited incredulity because
that amount o f lumber will make
it necessary to dispatch a vessel car­
rying 800,000 feet of lumber every
day for two years, and would require
a Beet of nearly ICO vessels in con ­
stant employment. Bat it seems
it is true. Tbe contract was with
one firm, and it was kept as secret
as possible until it could make ar­
rangements with other lumber
firms, and it is fixed now so that 20
mills will work on tbe contract,
each cutting 40,000 feet of lumber
a day. It will deforest some 100,-
000 or 120,000 acres ot land. Tbe
lumber is for Cecil Rhodes’ Cape A
Cairo road. It is understood the
shipments are to bo made mainly
from Sabine Pass, which is most
convenient for the lumber districts
of Louisiana aDd Texas. It has ad­
vanced the price of pine land to a
figure which was deemed impossi­
ble a year ago. It has stimulated
the industry, and nearly every mill
has pat in additional machinery to
increase its output. As a sample of
how the thing is done, in CaicaBia
Parish, La., 14,035 acres were
boughtby theBancroftLuniberCom-
pany, o f OraDge, Tex., for $175,-
000, or more tban $12 an acre, or
twice what it could have been
bought for two years ago. At Lake
Charles, La., which is the center of
the yellow pine district of Louisi­
ana, the lumber mills are running
night and day, aud do not expect
to shut down for 18 months. It is
said the chief difficulty in the way
is securing tbeveseels to transport
the lumber, which will go to South
Africa directly, and the securing of
necessary labor, especially since
many mills have laid down the
rule that all labor shall be white.
It menns $0,000,000 to tbe lumber
companies of the sontb.

Boers' Ultimatum to the British.
Cape Town, Oct. 10.— The Trans­
vaal government has sent an ulti­
matum to Great Britain.
London, Oct. 10.—A London
news agency publishes the follow­
ing dispatch from Pretoria, filed
there at 7.10 p. m. yesterday: “An
urgent dispatch has just been
handed to Conyngham Greene, the
British diplomatic agent, request­
ing explicit nssurance of the with­
drawal within 48 hours of all Brit­
ish forces lauded in South Africa
since tho Bloemfontein conference.”
The text of Transvaal ultimatum,
it is uuderstood, is on the way to
the British foreign office. Accord­
ing to latest advices, the time limit
expires tomorrow afternoon at 5
o'clock, when, if the demands of
the Boers are not complied with,
the further landing or dispatch of
troops will be considered an act of
war, and hostilities will commence.
In ordinary circumstances, as Great
Britain is the government making
tho demands, she would be the dis­
patcher of an ultimatum, and the
fact that the Boers have taken the
initiative is regarded as rendering
the situation more serious and in­
creasing the hopelessness of avert­
ing warfare.

Edwin O. Wood of Michigan, sec­
retary of the Taraworth Swine
Breeders’ Association, knows a good
thing when he sees it. Writing the
other day of the Biggie Swine Books,
the latest addition to The Biggie
Books, he says, “ Without exaggera­
tion or fulsome praise it is the best
book which has come to my notice.
I have carried it in my pocket two
weeks, reading it in leisure moments,
and following its advice has already
saved me, as I belioye, fifty dolars”

of 50 cents, which the publishers,

A man out in Kansas obtained
some pills at a drug store for the
cure of insomnia. That night in
the dark he found what he thought
was the pill box and swallowed, as
he supposed, three of the pellets.
He then slept soundly. In the
morniDg it was discovered that he
had gulped down three of his wife's
shirt waist buttons.
Hon. J. H . F lhtchkb , former­
ly Governor o f Sonth Dakota, bnt
now a resident o f Salem,Ore., says:
“ For over tw o years my daugh­
ter had been declining from a
strong, healthy, rosy-cheeked girl
to a pale, weak and helpless in­
valid. She was afflicted with ter­
rible headaches, and gradually
grew weaker, and more languid,
apparently without cause. I tried
several doctors, but all without
avail. Finally, to please a friend,
I bought a box o f Dr. Williams’
Pink Pills for Pale People, and to
our surprise, before it was used up
her headaches ceased, the color
began to return to her cheeks and
lips and her strength began to
assert itself. I bought five boxes
more, and by the time she had
finished them she was completely
restored, and to-day she is a robust
rosy, healthy girl instead o f a pale,
tired and sickly one.’ ’

The most widely circulated “ week­
ly ” newspaper in America is the
Thrice-a-Week edition of The New
York World, and with the presiden­
tial campaign now at hand you can­
not do without it Here are some
of the reasons why it is easily the
leader in a dollar a year journalism:
It is issued every other day, and
is to all purposes a daily.
Every week euch subscriber re­
ceives 18 pages aud often during the
“ busy” season 24 pages each week.
The price is only $1 per year.
It is virtually a daily at the price
of a weekly.
Its news covers every known part
of the world. No weekly newspoper
could stand alone and furnish such
service.
The Thricb-a-Week World has at
its disposal all of the resources of
the greatest newspaper iu existence
— the wonder of modern journalism
— “ America’s Greatest Newspaper,”
as it has been justly termed— The
New York World.
Its political news is absolutely
impartial.
This fact will be of
especial value in the Presidential
campaign coming on.
The best of current fiction is
found in its columns.
These are only some of the rea­
sons; there are others.
Read it
and see them all.
We offer this unequaled news­
paper and the Coquille City H ehald
together one year for $1.90.
The regular subscription price of
the two papers is $2.50.
