SURRENDER NOT THOUGHT OF
Lecturers Decline Botha's Reported
Desire to < ni»itulate Ik ItiriUu
loiis—K.y|)<m-I«'iic(-m on the
Battlefield.
"T look to see in the near future even
in my own time, a United States of South
Africa, just as you have here a United
States of America, when the Transvaal
the Orange Free Statts and Cape Colony
will be united under one stable and inde
pendent government," said P. Louter
\\ easels, of Bloerafonteln, last evening at
Mozart hall, and he was applauded to the
echo. For the threatening weather had
no terror for Boer sympathizers, appar
ently. They filled the lower lluor of the
theater, as well as several of.the boxes
and most of the gallery, last night and
liberally punctuated with applause the
speeches made by Mr. Wessels and Mr
Vilioen.
Hon. John -D. O'Brien, In a brief speech
that was full of praise for the struggling
patriots in South Africa, introduced -Mr.
TVessels as the first speaker. Mr. Wes
sels, who is a citizen of the Orange Free
State, was formerly lieutenant in the
Boer army. He wore his sword and used
it in pointing out and op'aning the vari
ous stereopticon natures which illustrat
ed the lecture. The speaker refeired only
briefly to the causes that le.l up to the
Boer war. The chief cause was a com
mercial one, the cupidity of not only the
English but influential men of other na
tionalities. The Prince of Wales, now
king of England; Joseph Chamber.an
and Cecil Rhodes had much to- do with
bringing on the war. Mr. Wcssels deniid
that the war was nearly over, or that it
was defeat for the Boers. They would
fight for.years to come, if necessary, he
said. The report that Gen. Botha had
surrendered or contemplate.! surrender
ing, was ridiculous. Gen Botha would
not surrender until Gen. Dewet hal sur
rendered, and Gen. Dewet wouldn't sur
render until Gen. Botna hal, said the
Bpeaker, and the statement was greeted
with prolonged applause.
A number of pictures, showing views
in and about Cape Colony, the Orange
Free State and the Transvaal, were
shown. Excellent pictures were also given
of the diamond mines near Kimberley, of
which mines Mr. Wesse-.s' father was
once a part owner. The lecturer told
how, in 1870 and 1871, when the mines were
first discovered, England hastened to an
nex them to the territory she had already
acquired in South Africa, paying to the
Boers as compensation the sum of £90,
--000.
Following Mr. "VVessels. Hercules D.
Viljoen, of Cape Colony, field cornet in
the arrrry of the Orange Free State, told
of some of his experiences in the War.
Ke was a citizen of the Orange Free
State when the war broke out. While
the majority in the state were Boer
sympathizers, there were many whom
English influence had affected and the
loyal lioers had not an easy time of it.
Mr. Viljoen described the first battle in
winch he took part, which v.ns a
skirmish between 430 Boers and 1,500
Englishmen. The latter were put to
flight, but the Cape Colony papers
described the result as a big English
victory. That was a specimen, the
lecturer said, of the faith to be placed in
English reports.
In regard to the reports that the Boers
had fired on Red Cross wagons when the
latter were on the battle field under a
white flag the lecturer said the only af
fair of the kind that ever he witnessed
was during a battle in which he took
part. A Red Cross wagon, crossing the
field, looked rather peculiar to the Boer
general and he ordered a shot fired at
it. Suddenly the covering was dropped
from the wagon and a cannon was dis
covered. Mr. V.iljoen stated that th-?
English used the canvas-covered wagon
in order tQ get the cannon nearer the
Boor ranks.
Following Mr. Viljoen's address pic
tures were shown of tiie Boer generals
and views of army life.
Mrs. J. E. Kcnney played the Beer
national anthem. •
Mr. Viljoen will continue his experience
of the Boer war this evening and Mr.
Wessels will tell something of the
various native tribes of South Africa.
GOV. VAN SANT THERE.
ADDRESSED THE FARMERS' INSTI-
TUTE AT STATE HOUSE
YESTERDAY.
STILT/WATER. Minn.. March 20.—(Spe
cial.)—Huge snowdrifts and a driving
blizzard did not deter farmers from
Washington county and vicinity from at
tending the farmers' institute, which
closed at the opera house this evenins.
Owing to the severe weather of the morn
ing and last night it was considered that
the attendance today would be very light,
but it was fully up to that of yesterday,
showing that farmers in this vicinity to^k
a great deal of interest in the work.
The institute opened at about 10 o'clock
this morning, after a visit to the state
prison had been en.ioyed by about 100
farmers and a number of the institute in-
Btructors. The attendance daring tho ;
fcrenoon numbered about SCO, and in the j
afternoon this was considerably in- j
creased.
Gov. Van Sant was a guest at the morn
ing- session, having arr.vei shortly after
11 o'clock. He spent a few minutes lis
tening to an address by Forrest Henry,
of Chatfield, Minn., cm "Hog Raising,'
after which the governor made a stirring
address, which was warmljs applauded.
He touched upon affairs of the state and
nation in divers ways, and spoke enthu
siastically of the rapid advancement made
in this state in all lines. He compliment
ed the farmers for the vast improvements
made in farming during the p:tst twenty
years and predicted greater things for the
future. He stated that his first introduc
tion to the state of Minnesota was when
as a little boy he came up the Mississippi
river on a steamboat having in tow two
large barges of corn for Minnesota. He
heard at that time that not h bushel of
corn could be raised in this entire state,
and drew a picture of the difference of
that time and the present, when cars
i;pon cars of Minnesota corn are shipped
jr. all directions. Gov. Van Sant spoke
of pending legislation in St. Paul, and
paid he hoped the primary election bill
would pass, thus giving everybody a
right to take part in the selection of can
didates for office.
The governor spoke of bills before both
branches of the legislature improving
the condition of dairy and food products,
and said he expected that o'eomargarine
would receive an effective blow. He
spoke entertainingly of the growth of this
state and the betterment of farming con
ditions, and predicted rapid advancement
in the future.
During the afternoon session today file
question box was used extensively, and
much information was secured from this
source. Supt. Gregg stattd that it was
impossible for his instructors to touch
upon all points, and invited questions
vpon matters not exactly clear. The aft
ernoon was devoted to addresses on stock
raising, the better care of cattle and di
versified farming in all its branches.
Hon. T. B. Terry, of Ohio, closed Ihe
lrstitute this evening w.th a talk on
"Tillage."

CHICAGO, March 20.—Pork for May de

j Shorts were bidding for it all through the
j session, but holders seemed not at all
i anxious to sell, only small lots being
| offered now and then when the price be
came tempting.
The anxiety of shorts was owing to the
fear of a possible squeeze. Arm mr &

SMUGGLING AT NEW YORK.
Government Has Been Robbed of
Tlionsninds of Dollnrs.
WASHINGTON, March 20.—Collector of
Customs Bidwell, of New York, was in
the city today conferring with Assistant
Secretary of the Treasury Spaulding re
garding the reorganized condition at the
New York customs house. He brought
figures to show that the duties collected
from passengers on four steamers arriv
ing last Thursday, Friday and Saturday
were $22,000 greater than from passengers
aboard steamers of the same lines on
corresponding days last year.
The extent of the smuggling disclosed
by the new system in New York has al
most dumbfounded the treasury officials,
and steps are being taken to apply the
New York system as far as practicable
to other ports of entry. Investigations
resulting from these disclosures has re
vealed the fact that a large number of
trans-Atlantic passengers, supposedly
women of wealth and fashion, were in
fact milliners and dressmakers regularly
smuggling goods from Paris and other
European capitals. It is asserted that
the disclosures are likely to result in the
near future in some radical changes at
Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore and other
large cities whence trans-Atlantic liners
sail.
FIRE BOARD MATTERS.
MAJ. ESPEY CLAIMS DAMAGES FOR
BROKEX WINDOW—VACANCY
FILLED.
The Twin City Telcuhone company,
late the Mississippi Valley, secured its
first official recognition last night when
permission was granted it by the board
of lire commissioners to install its ser
i vire at fire headquarters. The petition
came direct from the company and the
members, after consulting Chief Jack
son, placed the matter in that officials
hands with power to act. The instru
ment will be placed in the fire alarm
I office, and, if satisfactory, will bo in
stalled in other offices of the depart
ment.
On March 17, while going to a fire,
truck No. 1 crashed into a plato glass
window at 77 West Second street, and
this brought a claim for damages by
Maj. Espy, the owner of the building
As he had suffered in a similar way once
before, Maj. Espy demanded satisfac
tion, and announced his intention of
seeking relief in the courts. He was
advised to see the corporation attorney.
The pay roll for February, amounting
to $13,937.81, was approved "and allowed.
As Chief Jackson was appointed to
serve out only the unfinished term of
Hart N. Cook, which expires March 2S
another election will have to be held be
fore that time. President Warner will
probably call a meeting for this purpose
in a few days.
At the meeting of the board. Chief
Jackson made an effort to secure an ad
ditional man for the truck company or.
St. Anthony Hill, but as the finances
were low, the members refused to con
sider the proposition.
"BUNCOMBE."
It Don't Always Pay to Be Skeptical.
When a * newspaper writer and proof
reader that works nights can feed him
self out of Hyspepsia, which most all
that class suffer with, it is worth while
to know the kind of food used.
This man is on one of the Rockford,
111., papers, and says, "Being a news
paper writer and proof reader, also a
graduate in medicine as well, though not
practicing, makes a combination that
would produce a skeptic on the subject
if anything would.
Day after day 1 read the proof on the
Grape-Nuts Food advertisements with
the feeling that - they were all 'bun
combe.' All this time 1 was suffering
from dyspepsia from the improper food
I was eating at the restaurant. One
day I saw a package of Grape-Nuts at
the restaurant and tried it with good,
rich cream. The dish took my fancy at
once. After a few lunches at midnight
1 noted an improvement in my feelings,
and was able to work with less fatigue.
I have used Grape-Nuts as a regular
diet since then, and have improved great
ly. The ofd dyspepsia and bad feelings
that I thought wore necessary adjuncts
to night work all disappeared, and I am
able to do much more with less effort
than ever before.
I was nearly ready to give up night,
work and seek health in some other
walk in life, but thanks to my change in
diet I am now allright."

SI.NKI.OW I.M STATE) IS UNWILLING
TO SVItfIENDER ITS CllEß
isih:i> trophy
MINNESOTA TO HAVE NEW ONE
Secretary Sudendorf Really Hadn't
Heart to Order Silken Emblem
Returned to Its Rightful
Oivjirr«.
In spite of report* to the contrary Kan
sas will keep the banner secured at
the National Buttermakcrs convention in
St Paul recently. This was stated by the
Globe some time ag.i, and v subsequent
denial followed, but the facts are now
proven to be correct as stated.
Secretary E. Sudendorf, of the national
.association, has written to the dairy and
fcod commisioji here to the eff«ct that it
would be too bad to take the banner
away from that state after the legisla
ture there had appropriated money for
a glass case to put it in, nnl state offi
cials, from the governor down, had
made speeches about the grrat record
made. He says that iiioth-er banner has
been ordered for Mi.inesita, similar to
the one in Kansas. On the banner will be
placed the words: "For the h'ghest aver
age score." The wording on tne other
banner will be changed so there can be
no mistake as to which state is "it," and
Kansas will have the emrty honor that
goes with the banner.
According to statements of local dairy
men, it will be an empty honor, for the
banner will carry nothing with it, not
even in words, and the pro rata money
and the prizes will go to where they
rightfully belong, Minnesota
It is thought locally that Secretary Su
dendorf ought not to have such a sensi
tive conscience after having made such a
bad mathematical error, but that will per
haps be forgotten in the course of time.

may develop Into an all-round
general raid is about to be inaugurated
by the state dairy and food commission
against sellers of jellies, jams, baking
pcwders and other articles in daily use
by consumers. Some astonishing discov
eries' have been made in the past two or
three days, and Commissioner McConnell
Is determined to put a stop to the sell
ing of goods which the sellers themselv.-s
would not think of eating. Said he yes
terday:
"Look at this piece of flannel here. It
is dyed scarlet, and dyed to slick. \v nat
with? Analine. Where did it come from?
It was taken from a tab'espoonful of
cirrant jelly manufactured by a Chicago
firm. Here's a small glass jar of straw
berries, so called, for there are only one
or two berries in the jar in which there
is just as muoh analine. The stuff is sold
in large quantities to reiaiiers here by
another Chicago concern. There are any
number of companies that are just as
bad as the two I have mentioned, and
local consumers are suffering thereby.
You see the companies are prohibited
from putting preservatives and coloring
matter like analine in jellies. The law
does not apply to jams, and so the man
ufacturing companies put in one or two
berries, probably some felt hat, or glu
cose, or whatever they see fit, and the
resulting mixture goes for what it is not.
The amount of bad jams and jellies that
is now being sold over the state is enough
to astonish any one, and I am going to
put a stop to it if it is in my power t~>
do so. The administration before me
made a good record in this work, and I
am going to follow it up to the best cf
my ability.
"This matter of illegal labels on bak
ing powder has also come up again. It
crops up like a nightmare every so often,
and it seems impossible to stop the of
fenders. I have just had several parties
in Minneapolis fined for selling the '"Roy
al" ■ wrongly labeled. People want to
know what they are using at all times,
no matter what is paid. I have a number
of offenders under my eye in St. Paul,
and they will soon know what my de
partment is for, if they don't soon change
their methods. Just at present this mat
ter of preservatives and colorings in jel
lies and jams is of chief importance,
however,"
