THE SWEDISH COLONY.


In stating that Swedish colony was
about to be established III northern Yer
mont the other day, and that land had
been bought for the colonists, no mention
was made Of the location of the land pur-

scheme. The members Of the proposed
colony come from Springfield, Mass, and
the land is located in Essex county, right
on the Canadian border. Land has been taken

YOUNGSTOWN, June 3.--The falling
water has laid bare the terrible work
OF the flood, and the full extent OF
the disaster is only being asccrtained
now. The streets arc one reeking
foul smelling mass of wood and
debris, and the work of seeking for
bodies has only fairly begun. The
latest estimates put the loss of life at
from 10000 to $4,000. 1t is impos
sible to get n correct account of the
nu,. Der lost. Everyone is so tired
out and overcome by the disaster MS
to be merely unable to give any ac-
curate details OF figures.
1t is almost impossible to condeive
OF the extent of these smoking ruins.
An area of eight or ten acl es above
the dam is covered to n depth of 40
feet with shattered houses, borne
from the resident centre of Johns.
town. In each of these houses it is
estimated there were from one to
twenty or twenty-five people. This
is accepted MS data upon which to cs
innate the number that persisted on
this spot, and if the data he correct,
the bodies that lie beneath these
ruins must run well up into the hun
dreds, if not thousands.

THE FAIR.

The third annual Fair of the I'm.
ion County Agricultural society
opened up on their grounds in this
city on last Wednesday, and was
continued each day until Saturday,
the rain on Friday evening and on
Saturday spelling the last and
which would have been the best
day Of the fair. The receipts Of the
fair for the three days were some
thing over S4O0, enough to pay all
expenses, and the society hopes to
be able to pay all premiums in full.
If the fair had not been
cut short by the rain the
receipts would have been sufficient
to have paid everything in full and
anice sum left in the treasury of
the society. The display of stock
and products was the finest ever be-
fore exhibited and the races each
day were the best ever known in
the county. On the second day in
the $40 trotting race there were
some of the best horses in the north
west on the track. The officers Of
the society desire us to state that
the fair closed on Friday evening
and that the races to. come off on
the grounds here on Sept. "a has no
connection with the fair.

THE SOLDIERS, RoME...A Gard.

.H8ea-4 EA4IE&M
To the Editor Of the Union County Courier:
As some n either m~aliciously or
through misrepresentation is mis-
stating my acts on the Soldiers
Home bills, and as I know that the
old soldiers wish to act feirly, and
as some may not know the facts, I
wish to make this statement
In 1887 the Elk Point. Post sent
me the following resolution, request
ing me to present it and vote accord
ingly, which Ibid. This resolution,
will be found printed on page 3lS Of
Council Journal of 1887 and reads as
follows :
STEPHEN A. H%uRLBURr Posr, No. 2. q. A. r.. I
ELK PolNT, S. D., Fob. 8, 1887. I
Be it Resolved, That we, as a Post,
see no immediate necessity for the
establishment of a Soldiers Home
in this Territory. Should we ever
be SO unfortunate as to be obliged to
occupy such an institution, our pre-
ference would be to go further south
or to the States from which we enlis-
ted.
Attest B. T. CRuM,
Post Commander.
Last winter there was much con-
tention over the Soldiers Home mat
ter. Old soldier members like Slim
met, Van Osdel and Woolheiser in the
Council, and Potter, Burnham, To-
gan, Lillibridge and Van Etten in
the House, worked and voted against
it. Our post here had taken no diff
ferent action, and what letters l re-
ceiued from its members led me to
believe the same view was held as in
1887. I received no word from the
Poft u any one Of its members in
favor of the Home until Feb. q,
1889, when a resolution Of the Post
in favor of the Hot Springs Home.
signed by S. w. Hoffman and 0. II.
Spencer, as commander and adjutant,
was received and at once presented
by me. (See page 57S, Council
journal, 1882 On the same day
the question came up as to the pas
sage of the Hot Springs Bill over the
governors veto, and I voted for the
bill as requested by the Post. (See
page 5S6 of same Journal.)
I state now, that in this matter, /
at all times voted as the soldiers of
Union county requested me, and no
proof to the contrary a be shown.
The journals of both sessions are at
my office and can be seen by any
one. The minutes of the Post here
will show that the foregoing action
was taken as stated, and its officers
in 1887 and 1889 well know that no
other instructions were sent me.
It is charged that l voted for the
game law of 1887. This is false, as
can be seen from page 295 of the
Council Journal Of 1887.
It is also stated that I voted for
the gross-earnings railroad tax law
Of 1889. The parties reporting this
know better. 1t is we'll known that
1 worked as hard as any one against
it, and on page 76O Of the 1889
Council Journal my vote is in the
negative on that bill. The campaign
liar is abroad, and I defy him to pro-
the record and to publish it to
substantiate his statements. I am
willing to be judged on my record as
made and only ask the people to in
it before believing unsup-
charges of interested parties.
