Be Careful No woman can be too careful of her condition during the period before her little ones are born. Neglect or improper treatment then endangers her life and that of the child. It lies with her whether she shall suffer unnecessarily, or whether the ordeal shall be made comparatively easy. She had better do nothing than do something wrong. MOTHER’S FRIEND is the one and the only preparation that is safe to use. It is a liniment that penetrates from the outside. External applications are eternally right. Internal medicines are radically wrong. They are more than humbugs—they endanger life. Mother's Friend helps the muscles to relax and expand naturally—relieves morning sickness —removes the cause of nervousness and headache— prevents hard and rising breasts —shortens labor and lessens the pains—and helps the patient to rapid recovery. From a letter by a Shreveport, La., woman: “I have been using your wonderful remedy, Mother's Friend, for the last two months, and find it just as recommended,” Druggists sell It at $1 per bottle.

SOUTH AFRICAN WAR FIELD MARSHAL ROBERTS REPORTS CONDITION UNCHANGED. UNABLE TO FLANK THE BOERS General French’s Movement nt Colegburg Unsuccessful—Kruger Issues a Strong Address to the Burghers and Says Providence Is on Their Side. London, Jan. 15.—The war office issued at midnight a despatch from Field Marshal Roberts, dated Cap? Town, Jan. 14, S;3O p. m., saying: "There is no change in the situation today.” The war office simultaneously issued the following from Lord Roberts, dated Cape Town, Jan. 13: “Methuen’s cavalry reconnoisance returned on Jan. 11, went 25 miles into Free State. Country clear of enemy, except patrols. "All quiet at Modder river. “French reconnoitred around the enemy’s left flank on Jan. 10. Advanced from Sliumger’s farm, on Jan. 11, with cavalry and horse artillery to bombard Boer laager, east of Colesburg junction but was unable to outflank the enemy. “Reconnoisance of cavalry and mounted infantry pushed north of Bastard’s Nek and examined country north of Ridge. “Gatacre reports no change. All well on December 28 at Mafeking. ” A dispatch to The Daily Mail dated Jan. 12, from Pietermaritzburg, says: "Sir Charles Warren marched with 11,000 men eastward from Frere byway of Weeuen. His scouts found no sign of the enemy at Grobler’s Kloof, and Colenso was ascertained to be deserted. There are rumors that the Boers are preparing to leave Natal, discouraged ' by their failure to reduce Ladysmith. | LONDON AT SEA Striving to Think Out the Unknown In tlie Thansvaal War. London. Jan. 16.—General Buller’s latest authentic word as to what he and his 30,000 men are doing was wired from Springfield after his first forward step. Striving to - think out the unknown. London is confused by surmise and rumor and disquieted by suspense. Spencer Wilkinson, the lucid military expert of The Morning Post, asserts that the Boer foroe in northern Natal is larger than General Buller’s and Sir George White’s together, so that the Boers are able to leave a force around Ladysmith larger than that within the town and yet to oppose General Buller with a force superior to his own. Reports from the Boer camps affirm that the circle of investment has been drawn closer by the occupation of some hills near the town, thus liberating reinforcements to oppose General Buller. The Daily News suggests that a multitude of the rumors tnat originate in South Africa and London are given currency by the English military authorities in order to mislead the Boers. The war pages of the great dailies this morning are almost barren. Nevertheless the instruments on the loops connecting the war office with the cables continue to click. FROM PRETORIA Kruger Tells Burghers That Providence Is on Their Side. Pretoria, Jan. 11. via Lourenzo Marquez.—President Kruger, in the course of a stirring address just issued to the burghers, affirms that Providence is on their side, that their cause is just and they must succeed. Reports from Colesburg represent the Doation there as favorable to the Re-

publicans, but that the British are concentrating for operations on a large scale. The official list of the Boer casualties in what is called the “Plat-rand fight” on Saturday, Jan. 6 (the attack upon Ladysmith), shows 26 killed and 77 wounded. These figures are described as the “first return.” The embargo at Delagoa bay upon Transvaal imports is the question of the hour with the burghers. If this is not removed, it is asserted that steps will be taken prejudicial to prisoners and aliens. LADYSMITH Quiet For Two Days —More Dead Boers Found. Ladysmith, Jan. 12, (by heliograph) —The besiegers have been quiet for two days, but can be seen in active movement on the distant hills. We have perceived two small bodies galloping with two machineguns. The Boer heavy piece on Bulwana Hill has not been fired for two days. More Boer dead have been found at the .base of Caeasar’s camp. All is well here. BATTLE EXPECTED By the Boers Within a Few Days. Ladysmith Firing Rockets. Boer Headquarters at Colenso, Jan. 11, via Pretoria, via Lourenzo Marquez, Jan. 12.—Everything points to a great battle within the next few days. Ladysmith for the last two nights has been firing rockets. The object is not known here. Davis Starts For the Transvaal. Capetown, Jan. 13.—Webster Davis, the United States assistant secretary of the interior, visited the Boer prisoners today and subsequently dined with the admiral. He then visited and bade farewell to the governor, Sir Alfred Milner, previous to starting for the Transvaal, 20 cts. given away.
