Lichtenburg Seer's Experiences Had Much to Do With the Rising of De Ia Rey, De Wet, Maritz, Bey- ers and Others--Under Roof of Prophet "onspiracy Was Ha che --He Urged the Bebels to Wait. The South African "Blue Paper' is out. It is unigue-----~romant.c. in the third paragraph of tLe very firs. page of this weighty document, which deals ith the recent ienel- lion, is the following unusual sen tence: > "It is not surprising, then, that in the fearment aroused by the gig.n- tic struggle in Europe, . "ica s.em- ed to be shaking the world to its foundations, young men began to sce visions and oid men to dream dreams of what the ouicome might be for South Africa." And this is followed by a still stranger passage. "The times were not without the'r signs. Thee was a seer in Lichten burg who had vision of strang:in- port. Years ago and long befo.€ any ope in this country had dreamed of wa. he beheld a great fight of bulls, six or seven of them, engaged i. bloody combat; a gray bull hud emerged victorious from the contes..

The vision seemed ominous. Ger- many was predestined to triumph." The seer is Niklaas van Rersuurg, and he runs through this Govirn ment report like a seari=t thread through gray homespun.

Tue Govain- ment report will not go so far as (e brand "Oom Niklaas" as a hoax. "It is desired to point out that the narrative of events has been coun- piled in as objective a manner a possible, and that it contains no. statement which is not borne out by evidence in possession of the Gov- ernment." His most famous and most in- fluential prophecy, the one that wiil go down in the history of Souch Ar- rica, was that which concerned Gen. de Ia Rey and the fatal number 15. This prophecy which came back to the minds of von Reénsburg's fol- lowers when war broke out was one concerning General de la Rey, who had commanded the Lichtenturg burghers in the Boer war apd since beepme president of the Wes. ern t Farmers' Association. Vaa Renpburg had always admifed Gen. de la Rey. He had frequenlly hini- ed to his circle that great things ; in store for him.

But the people did not forget the pro- hecy, and whel wir broks out in urope the Western Transvaal---in the Lichtenburg-Wolmaranstad area, where van Rensburg's influence was strongest-~was immediately aflame. The Govern t does not seck 'to minimize the importance of this in- ce: "When the War at last broke out the effect Lichtenburg was fin- stantaneous. The prophecies of van Rensburg were eagerly recalied, and it was remembered that he had fore- told a day on which the indepen- dence of the Transvaal would be re- stored: "Certain individuals could be seen daily cleaning their rified and cart- ridges in onder to be ready for the day. Within & week of the declara- {tion of war between Great Briain and Germany the district was fur- ther profoundly stirred by the news (now become generally known) thal a great meeting of local burghers was to be held at Treurfontein on the 15th of August, and that certain local officers were commandeering their burghers to come fo this meet- ing armed and fully equipped for. the break of | ar in B ou the war in Europe suddenly brought Lichtenburg- er's prophecy down to earth and crysialiited the nti i com- mandants were evidently as convine- that independence was at hand Thousands nad die- | FINANCIAL MATTERS. What the Granby Consolidated Direc- tors Have Learned. Boston, May 14.--When the Gran- by Consolidiated directors hold their May meeting it will be with the knowledge that the company's float- ing debt has been cared for, leaving resumption of dividends a possible topic of discussion. The general belief is that the former quarterly rate of $1.50 will be restored and paid in June. During the first quarter of 1915 Granby, from its two properties, produced nearly 7, 000,000 pounds of copper, an amount far in excess of any previous records. Neither smelter was worked to eapa- city in that period. Vanderbilt's Estate, New York, May 14--A. G.
