CRONJE A PRISONER. :HJ:t Army Surrenders Unconditionally. The news received on Tuesday fore- noon by wire is of the greatest and most - satisfactory importance—nothing less than the unconditional surrendor of the - celebrated Boer Gen. Oronje. This news of General Cronje's surrender comes direct from Lord Roberts, the British commander-in-chief. Here is his brief but significant despatch:— "Paardeberg, Feb. 27-7.45 a. m.—Gen. Cronje and all his force capitulated un- conditionally, at daylight, and is now a prisioner in my camp. The strength of his force will be communicated later, I hypo that Her Majesty's - Government will consider this satisfactory, ocouring as it does on the anniversary of Majuba." It is impossible to overestimate the importance of this splendid piece of news. Cronje's surrender means sur- render of the most vital fighting in- fluence in the Boer ranks. CANADIAN DASH. LOSS OF 8 BILLED AND 81 WOUNDED. The following despatch received Wed- nesday morning gives intelligence that will cause Canadians to fuel proud: "General Roberts says that the im mediate cause of Cronje's surrender was brought about by a gallant dash of the Canadian Regiment. There were 8 Canadians killed and 81 wounded." LADYSMITH RELIEVED.

W. DOXTATER, EXPRESSES A FATHER'S GRATITUDE. Intl L.rTTI.E. GIRL WAS ATTACKED WITIt IIEAR'r TROI1nLE AND DOCTORS SAID tTiE COULD NOT RECOVER—DR. WIL- L1A]fn' PINE PILLS IIA.VE MADE HER SOUND AND LIVELY ASA CRIOLET.. From the Sun, Belleville, Out. In a comfortable fare grouse in Syd- ney, near Belleville, lives Mr. T. W. Doxtater, a prosperous farmer and most respected citizen. In this pleasant hone the heart of a father and mother beats with gratitude to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, because they firmly believe they saved the life of their little daughter. A reporter of tho Sun having heard of the case drove out to Mr. Doxtater's for the purpose of getting at the facts, and found both father and mother of the little girl very .enthusiastic) in their praise of the medicine that has =- questionably done so much to ' relieve suffering in this country. Said Mr. Doxtater: "Yes, we have good reason for praising Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. think they are worth ten tinges their weight in gold. When our little daugh- ter Clara was about eight years old .she was stricken with what the doctors said ,was heart trouble. Up to that time she had been a strong healthy child. Tho fust symptoms shown were fainting spells, and these would attack her with- out a moments warning. We consulted a doctor, under whose. care she was for a time, but the treatment did her no good —in fact she was growing worse. Then WO called in' another doctor and he frankly told us that he cot hold out but little hope for her ,covert'. By this time slue was on • . od. to bed, and for three mouths a• as helpless as an infant. In some the fainting spells she was attacked with convulsions. Her appetite seemed entirely gone and she was reduced to a living skeleton. At this time I read the particulars of a cure through the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, which gave rye hope, and I determined that our little girl should try them. I first got one box, and when they were used she seemed brighter. Then I got five more boxes and by the time she had finished them she was as sound a child as you could find in the neighborhood, bright and lively as a cricket.. She has been going to school for the past eighteen mouths, and has shown absolutely no symptoms ,of the old. trouble. I attribute her cure entire- ly to the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and if anyone doubts the truth of this. statement you can refer them either to myself or my wife." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are just as valuable in the case.of children as with adults, and puny little ones would soon thrive and grow fat under this treat- ment,which has no equal for building up the blood and giving renewed strength to brain, body and nerves. Sold by all dealers or sent post paid at 50c. a box or six boxes for $2.50 by addressing the Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.
