After the meeting President'Steyn boarded a train and proceeded toKromstadt,where he has established his government. The Trans vaal Boers sought to compel- the Free OTaterB to resist nie nrninu entrance, but their efforts were 01 no avail. H A' messenger was : sent to the -Boer camp on the Modder river with, the in formation - that ; the Free; State Boers would not attempt' to i hold Bloemfon tein, which - had not fortifl-ations, against Gen. Roberts, they knowing that to attempt a defense would result in the practical destruction of the- town. This message excited the indignation of. tie Transvnalers, who threatened to pull Bloemfontein to pieces. The citizens were, . therefore, uncertain whether the English or their own allies of. the Trans vaal would bombard the town. There fore, when the British entered there was considerable rejoicing, as their presence would prevent an attack upon the place by the Transvaalers. ; , - - , Wilson News: On Wednesday night of last week Mr. Joe Hayes- and his wife were bitten by a mad cat in their home near Saratoga.

It not only heals and stimulates the tis sues to destroy the germ disease, but allays inflammation, causes ea?y expec toration, gives a food night's rest, and cures the patient. Try one bottle.
