William Sehroedor Furnlahee nn Enter prise. Correspondent With Some facts Concerning Tliein That are Not Gen erally Known. For The Enterprise. , As a face or the handwriting may re flect the uharacter of ao individual, so are inherent in words, the habits, strug gle and origin of people. Language ie the quarry from which may be ex tracted the secrets of unwritten history. Anglo-Saxon is a hyphenation whioh, when examined within the spectro scopic light of an analytical mind, re solves Itself into a thrilling romance. This is the race whose dialect is com mon with thatf Thebet, Persia, Ger many, Holland and England. They are free thinkers, and have consequently been the pioneers of the world, theli independent methods urging them into new Held, where the exercise of liberal thought and action might find undis puted indulgence. They were first forbidden the monastic rights of Lima ridden 'Ihibut, and migrating north ward and westward, they colonized Persia and Central Europe, aetteling Brandenburg, Germany, about 400 A. D. of fish and game. Land game was trapped in sacks. Hence the name. Saxon, as a word, has received a Ro man influence, the aspirates, ch, ck and ch being replaced by the more euphonio Latin ix. This bold tribe ii aggressive only in the zeal with which they have pushed their homes into the hearts of prime val forests, dense jungles, marshes and mountains. As the Puritans, they faced the wilds of wood and savage on the American continent; as the Nether landers, they rescued a vast estate from the very jawi of mighty ocean, and as the Boers, they braved the perils of darkest Africa. Though ever retiring in habit, yet at times they have turned, and when, their persecutors have been orushed. The Boers, with whom it ii the aim of this article to deal, migrated to South Africa in 1724, choosing-with drawal to acceptance of the Catholic ultimatum proclaimed in France, Ger many and Holland during the Lutheran Reformation. Though composed of these three branches, this colony was known by the people name of Boers. Boer means to build or cultivate, and in "bower" has the double significance. "Boer" is a mispronounoiation. Bowern is the German for farmer. They named the Cape or Good Hope, on sighting, which their hopes arose. Cape Town was the lint settlement. Before many years the English drove the Boers north, ex cept that portion of the population who remained as voluntary subjects to Great Britain. The excuse for this at tack arose from England's strife with France in Napoleon's time ; she identi fying Cape Colony with France, took it from the Dutch, who had sided with France in that war. A few years later, when the diamond fields were discovered, a large percent of the Boers were again driven north. -since gold has been discovered n Transvaal, another effort has been nade on the part of the United King dom to still further diapoasess the pio- leer tenants. The whole history of the English oc cupancy of this tiirritory is one of impu dent lawlessness. Hhe has no more right in the South Afric n Republic than have I to my neighbor's farm or you to the goods of your village shopman without purchase; and that the Boers have at last arisen to a sense of the in justice of the intrusion, and are minded to drive these usurpes from their ea, is a commendable exposition of belligerancy. The probability of their being SUC' cessful in their laudable efforts is more than likely. In the first place, every man, woman and adult, in this region are expert shots. To kill a wild beast the eye, tne temple or the ear mutt be chosen as the mark, else the animal will slay the hunter. Long experience in the jungles has taught these people the craft of true markmanship; and seventy year on tne tableland of the Transvaal, 6000 feet above the sea, with its clear air, qualifies them for a species of long distance practice, with which the Briton is not familiar. Thi (kill a marksmen lerved them well back io the eighties, and the English still re member with misgiving that bloody dawn on Majuba hill, which won for the Boer that semblance of independ ence upon which the British lion again has encroached. Kruger has a considerable number of Krupp cannon which be ha purchased in the past, for just this situation, and they are manned by Prussian gunner. The English can at best only drive the Boer back out of Natal, even if they escape from Ladyimith with rein forcementa ; tor once their enemy has passed through the Lainji's Neck Tun nel, they will hold it. This is the only practical pass into the Orange Free State. The Laing's Neck (Long Neck) mountain run along the entire north border of Natal. But should thi po sition be yielded, the Boer may yet fall back into the ! ransvaal (across the valley) and carry on a boulder warfare from mountain fastnesses, as do the Swis. ' Though the English control the mouth of the Orange river, the outlet of the Limpopo, traversing the Trans vaal, is in Portuguese territory, and under international ruling, would not preclude the Boers from receiving sup plies through this channel. At any rate, whatever the British ac quire by conquest, or are permitted yet to occupy, the price of its retention will be that of perpetual vigilance mili tary supervision at a questionable price of malntainance. Let the Boers have your sympathy, and hiJsitate long, or be of a conviction speedily, to anathematize the attitude of their oppressors. I am indebted largely to Wm. Schroe dor, citizen, traveler, scholar and gun ner in Dewey's squadron, for the infor mation given In this essay. A. B. W A HOME WEDDING. Miss Ella Warren and Robert Clifford United in Marriage.

It is a very simple matter to cure Rheumatism when it ha only existed for a short time, but when it become chronic the cure tnkes longer. You cannot change at once from bad to good. We therefore do not promise sudden or marvelous results in the tun of Ath-lo-pho-ros, when Rheumatism tins become chronic. Still, it is of fre- quont occurrence to have improve ment commence from the very first dose, and one bottle has been known to effect a cure in cases of very long standing. We don't know yet the real way that Ath-lo-pho-roa acts, we only know that it cures Rheumatism of all kinds. Turtle River, N. D., May 19, 1398.
