i vrnm mm. Go from Elandslaagte Beyond the Biggarsberg, ATTEMPT TO KILL KRUGER. llrltlsh Turn All (lum on Spot Occupied by the Trwumaitt J'relleiit at Mod tier River lie Has Very Narrow Kscape. London, April 17. A special dis patch from Ladysmith, dated April 1G, 9:43 a. m., says: "Native scouts havo Just reported that the Boers in tho Elandslaagte district" have retired be yond Biggarsberg. Other Information tends to confirm the report that the Boers have succeeded in blowing up three Important collerles near Wessels Nek, completely destroying the engine houses and plants." A correspondent of the Petit Bleu of Brussels, writing from the Boer lines, under date of March 4, gives a graphic account of President Kruger's visit to the fighting line at Modder river. He says that when the president went to the army in order to restore courage to the Boers spies informed the Brit ish of the president's arrival. Immedi ately afterward the British sent up an observation balloon that was not Ion.? in finding out the president's where abouts on the field. When President Kruger's position had been ascertained as carefully as possible the British artillery shelled the snot and kept up an Incessant fire all round the supposed quarters of tho Boer leader. Ultimately the British fire became so ' I'M if, wm mm m PRESIDENT KRUGER. dangerously accurate that Gen. Dewet besought President Kruger to retire, whereupon the president had four horses hitched to his carriage and drove away with all haste. Five sec onds after he had left a shell exploded on the very spot where the president had been seated in his carriage. Th3 shell smashed the carriage In which Col. Gourko, the Russian military at tache, was seated. After an hour's hard posting away from the battlefield, President Kruger stopped his carriage and stood for a few minutes watching the clouds of dust thrown up by tho British shells. While he was thus engaged up rode a scout at full speed. He had been Phot In the left side and fell from his horse as he reached the president, but re gardless of his exhaustion and wounJ the scout cried out: "Mr. Presldenr, Gen. Dewet wishes you to leave this place; It is too dangerous." The pres ident Immediately turned to his driver, uttered a hoarse word of command, and off wheeled the carriage in the di rection of Bloemfontein. KErOKT OF BO EK DEFEAT. Enztth Capture and Imprison Several Men. London, April 17. The Cape Town correspondent of the Dally Telegraph, telegraphing Sunday, says: "An unconfirmed report is in circu lation here that Gen. Brabant has in flicted a crushing defeat upon the Boers at Wepener, capturing and tak ing prisoners." A special from Reddersburg, dated April 15, says: "Col. Dalgety, wired yesterday: 'All well. Enemy apparently slackening attack.' "Gen. Chermside's division is en camped seventeen miles east of the railway. Boers are supposed to be In the vicinity, but an attack by them la improbable." A special dispatch from Bloemfon tein, dated April 14, says: "A patrol of Royal Irish, with whom was Lord Rosslyn, has been captured. Lord Rosslyn has been sent to Kroonstad." This Is Important but as to how many men were in the captured party the brief dispatch is silent. This Is taken as a bad sign, for unless the loss was eerious the censor would un doubtedly pass the figures minimizing the bad news. It is supposed that Lord Rosslyn, who was a newspaper corre spondent, was attached to the detach ment, the members of which were Roy al Irish rifles. Except for reports from the Boer camps the night has brought little news of the situation at the front. These dispatches would Indi cate that the Dutch forces operating in the southern part of the Orange Freo State are holding their own, despite statements that their recent moves were unimportant. The situation in lta chief points Is apparently unchanged. The Bloemfontein correspondent of the Daily News, telegraphing Sunday, says: "President Kruger attended a confer ence of the Boer commandants at Brandfort on Thursday. It la be lieved that a decision was reached to withdraw the Transvaal force to tho north of Vet river, preparatory to a general retirement across the Vaal river if hard pressed, leaving the Free Staters to their own resources." Aliwal North, April 15. There was spasmodic cannonading at Wepener yesterday, which continued until 10 o'clock at night. A few distant shots were hoard today. The following are the official figures on the casualties In the Ladysmith garrison during the four months' siege: Killed in action, 472; deaths from disease, 510; dying from disease 140; wounded in action, 620; total losses, 1,751; total admitted to hospital, 10.CS8; garrison at opening of siege, 13,496; garrison at end of siege, 10,101. A HINT FOR SPRINQ. When Housekeepers Are ltrlghtenlng the Iuterlors of Their Home. Now that the backbone of this re markable winter is broken, housekeep- ers are remarking the dingy look of the home interior. Tho question of new wall coverings is up. Paper Is dear and short lived; kalsominea are dirty and scaly; paint is costly. The use of such a cement as Alabastlne, for instance, will solve the problem. This admirable wall coating is clean, pure and wholesome. It can be put on with no trouble by anyone; there is choice of many beautiful tints; and it is long lasting.

"Dr. Hartman: "Dear Sir Pe-ru-na has been my salvation. It has given me back a beautiful voice, a gift of God; it has brought me once more to my old pro fession. I can talk now, and sing, where before I could scarcely whisper. Can you wonder at my delight? I wish every person who is suffering as I suffered might know Pe-ru-na. Only those who have been afflicted can ever know the Intense satisfaction and gratitude that comes with a complete cure. My voice was completely gone.

The advertisement, which cost me C5 cents, brought me five pupils, and that was the beginning of my pres ent large class. Yours gratefully, "Annie Wyandotte." A congestion, Inflammation or ulcera tion of the mucous membrane, whether of the head, stomach, kidneys, or other organ, is known to the medical pro fession as catarrh.

Wherever there is a congested mucous mem brane there is catarrh, acute or chronic. Miss Clara Stoecker says: "I had chronic catarrh for over a year. I tried many remedies, but found no relief un til I saw an advertisement In the paper of your treatment for chronic catarrh. I tried It and I think I am now well. I recommend Pe-ru-na to all my friends who are afflicted with catarrh." Miss Stoecker lives at Pittsburg. Pa.

I had s u n e r ed with flow of blood for four months, and the doctors could help me but little. They operated on me three times. It was very painful and I only obtained little relief. I was so weak I could not turn In bed. Then I applied to Dr. Hartman. I did not know whether he could help me or not, but I followed his advice, and used only three bottles of Pe-ru-na and Man-a-lin. Now I am well and as strong as I ever was, thanks to your remedies." Pelvic catarrh has become so frequent that most women are more or less afflicted with It.
