Prophesies That It Will Become Prosperous. Special to the Whig, dom, June SW, T. Stead has returned from South Africa, and he is enthusiastic about the country. He was surprised and delighted at the richness and" beauty of the scenery, and the possibilities of future comfort and prosperity for the people which he observed. It will be something more than a mere gold mining camp when society and government have become settled. Mr. Stead was probably no lover of South Africa when he 'arriv ed, but his experience of the country has made him regard it very highly as a field for British settlers. But be fore we can have peace and prosperity he insists we must redeem the prom isca of payment made bv our officers. There are millions still 'due to the Boers as compensation for goods tak en for which recéipts were given by our soldiers. The promises to pay signed and countersigned must be duly honored before the Boers ean be ex- pected to be trustful and friendly as fellow-citizens of the Empire should. The present attitude of the Boer lead ers is irreproachable, but they are waiting in expectation of our officers receipts and promises to pay for va- lue received being redegmed--remember ing that Mr. Chamberlain declared a British officer's receipt as good as a Bank of England note. CARS |40 BIC AND LITTLE WILD 108 ANIMAL OAC ES $3,700,000 CAPITAL INVESTED $7,400 ACTUAL DAILY EXPENSES i on Mr. Stead, as might be expected, has no faith in Chinese labor being a sucess. Outside interested cireles no- body wants it. It is a passing craze which the magazines will rue. On the whole, Mr. Stead is hopeful for the future. South Africa will be great and prosperous: when we have set up a re- sponsible and representative govern ment in the Transvaal, and when we have paid our debts to those who have been despoiled by the war. AT DAIRY CONFERENCE. Mr. Ruddick, Chief of the Dairy Division, Distributing Reports ~--Cheese Makers Run Great Risks--Soil is an Excellent Filter. Some rather startling facts 'in regard to the water supply of our cheese factories and creameries, were brought out at the conference of dairy instructors and experts held in Ottawa last fall. The official report is now beinn distributed by J. A. Ruddick, chief of the dairy division, Ottawa. In discussing the situation of cheese fac: tories and creameries, Dr. Connell, bacteriologist at the Kingston Dairy School, pointed out that one great sanitary requisite is good water. Most of our factories obtain their water from shallow wells, only a few using water from deep wells, springs, creeks or rivers. Good water can be secured from shallow or surface wells, yet such water is always classified as suspicious by sanitarians when it is used for drinking purposes. The reason for this simply is that such water is ground water, derived hy seepage through soil of the rain or snow water. Shallow wells are usually placed quite close 10 the houses or factories which they are to supply, and thus the soil in their neighborhood is apt to become contaminated, and this contamination is sooner or later carried hy seepage into the well. Fortunately, the soil is an excellent filtering and cleansing agent, but it is only able to dispose of a certain amount of contaminating material. Such disposal takes time so that if there is a particularly heavy rain, the contaminating watfer may be carried far into the earth below the pwifying layer, and thus soak un changed. into the wells. If a large amount 6f this contaminating material finds its way into the soil, the earth Becomes "soured," and can no longer dispose of or purify the waste, which tends to roak into and mix with the ground water. Some surface wells are so constructed as to he mere surface drainage pits; that is, they are mot raiscd above the surrounding earth, and hence receive the surface washing di rect. Farmers and wakers ought to realize that a surface well does not get its water from some hidden source below, but is simply a collecting reser voir for the ground water derived from rain and snow water. And fur ther that if the soil in the neighbor hood of such a well is saturated with slop water and house or factory drain- ings, ghat sooner or later these will make their way into the well. MOTHER 'SUPPLANTED. Wife Claims Child Took Hus- band's Heart. London, June 2.--"Twenty-six years I have been his wife ahd nothing but misery--no sunshine for me." This was a passg from a letter handed to a detective by a tall, keen featured, widdle aged woman, Mrs. Emily Eliza Hare, who was charged at Stratford, East, yesterday with attempting to murder her nine year 5 old daughter, Violet, by pushing her into a pond at Fianis Park, Wan stead. "1 was going to school with my sister, Ivy," sail the child, "when walked as far as Wanstead church, and then asked me: 'Would you like to lie in the pond ¥"" She explained that her mother had pushed her into the water, and had then taken her hand and pulled her out again. An elder sister, Grace Hare, told the court that her mother, who has sev- cral children, has not lived at home for nine months, but the most re markable evidence came from Detee- tive Sergeant Brown. When he arrest ed Mrs, Hare she said: "I intended to drown the lot. Tam glad it has come to this. 1 am glad mother Neuralgic Headache Is Usually Attended with blinding pain, but relief comes quickly when Nerviline is | applied, for it is the strongest pain- | reliever in the world.

The trguble began Tuesday © night during the per- formance at the Grand Opera House, when these men demanded a . week's salary in advance. On being refused they initiated a row behind the scenes which two constables were called to quell. They left the building after to break up the show, but it went on.

St. Petersburg, June 2.--When the war commenced it was firmly believed that Russia had nearly 200,000 men east of Lake Baikal, and with the ut- most confidence it was declared that this number could easily be brought up to 400,000 in two months. Everybody is now asking : Where are these 400,000 men ? It has been stated so frequently, and fro many different sources, that the "gar- rison at Port Arthur numbers kes than 20,000 men, that Gen. Kouropat- kin has well under 100,000 wen, at Lino Yang and Mukden, and that Viadivostok is garrisoned by only a couple of regiments, that these fig- ures have come to be regarded as approximately accurate. 7 I, then, the whereabouts of less 4han 120,000 men are known, what has become of the odd 80.000, which were in the far cast at the outbreak of war, and where are the thousands of reinforcements that have undoubt- edly been entrained since February ? Every week--almost every day- since the war began troop trains have left all the principal military eentres to start on the long journey by the Trans-Siberian railway, but they do not seem to have reached their desti- nation. "The explanation probably is that thousands of men are stranded at in- termediate stations on the railway, waiting for trains to take them on to Harbin, and that thousands more are scattered along the lines from Harbin to Mukden and Harbin to Viadivostok, guarding the conimunita- tions. - Thus Gen. Kourapatkin finds him- dl the centre of the Japanese attack with about 100,000 men to oppose double that number, while the rest of his forces 'are scattered over hund: reds of miles of territory, and conse: quently us IN OUR OWN CIRCUIT.
