The county ticket nominated by the Republicans has been before the people for nearly three weeks.

Reported easing of war strain allows mines at Johannesburg to resume work within about three months after water damage. Some shafts extend to 1,200 feet, with no confirmed Boers dynamiting of properties. Population now around 36,000, 90,000 Brits away fighting or at ports. Rail traffic restoration poses a major obstacle as mines depend on coal for 15,000 tons monthly output. Under British rule the Rand will open to prospectors and mining activity may surge.

A St. Louis Republic reprint recounts Thomas T. Crittenden’s Missouri governorship and a faithful colored servant who, in distraught reverence, delays revealing the death of the governor’s horse. The tale ends with the servant guessing the horse is dead and bracing for the grim news.
An analysis recalls great fires in Portland Boston and Chicago and a March blizzard in New York, then highlights the Caracas earthquake of 1812 as perhaps the continent’s most destructive. It notes 20 000 lives lost, political upheaval, and the long shadow of such catastrophes on humanity and sympathy.
