Last Sunday a tempest at Lake
City was attended with terrible loss of
life, owing to- the capsizing on Lake
Pepin of the steamer Sea Wing, filed
with excursionists from the mill
tia encampment at Lake City. Near
ly $50 persons were on the boat, and
osSy score or more of these were res
cued. Most of the victims were from
Red Wing, which has become city of
mourning. Monday and Tuesday the
bodies rescued from Lake Pepin, about
sixty in all, were consigned to the Gem
eteries in that city, the stores were
closed, and at frequent intervals funer-
al trains passed through the streets.
Captain Wetheren, of the Sea Wing,
is under arrest, and an investigation
may prove that he was criminally neg
ligent in the management of his boat,
In Lake City several large buildings
were badly damaged, including Col
lins Bros planning mill, Young & Co.'s
dry goods store, the opera house, and
minor structures. On the same day a
similar storm demolished two cottages
at Lake Geryais, killing Mrs. j. II.
Schurmeier, her son, two of the guests
of the family-Rev. Phaefe, of Texas,
and Cashier Geo. j. Miller, of the LIST
National Bank-and servant. A doz-
en- other persons were hurt more OF
less severely.

The Army Canteen System.

>~~S
A captain in the regular army, at a
post where the canteen system has had
fair trial, writes to the Kansas City
Times, strongly condemning it.. The
Times says the views expressed are
not it's own, but they seem to us sem
sible and truthful He calls attention
to the fact that the officers loudest in,
praise of the system are at posts in,
or near, cities where they can purchase
the supplies which a post trader usu-
ally keeps, but who wish a place where
they can buy tobacco and liquor cheap.
The post from which he writes is a
hundred miles from a railroad, with
no store of any kind near. Their trad
er carried stock of goods valued at
SIS, 600, such goods as are needed at
the post, and his prices were reason
able. We give the rest in his, own
words: =.
"But along comes the order from
Washington to do. away with this
large and varied stock Of goods, so
convenient to both officers and men,
and substitute the canteen. And what
have we in the canteen7 Beer, with a
big B, wine, tobacco, pigs feet, sa,,l
sage, pies and stationery. This in
place of the hundreds of articles of
dry goods, hardware, groceries,. etc.,
that our trader kept.
The tendency Of the canteen is to
relax drills and work so the men can
have more time to loaf at the so-called
amusement room. If they are drilled
as required by orders and regulations,
they would be SO busy during the day

The State Alliance undoubtedly had
a lively session yesterday, as an at
tendance of from $50 to 500 delegates
is reported. According to the Pioneer
Press, Gen. Baker, of Blue Earth, will
be the nominee for governor, and
Gen. Barrett, the prohibition nominee,
will be named for lieutenant governor.
We hesitate to believe that the ALI
ance will pick up such a chronic Office
seeker as Baker, notwithstanding the
predictions of the P. P.
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1890-07-17

that they would find no time to spend
in the government saloon, and at night
would be SO tired they would be glad
to go to bed at nine for a healthy rest
and sleep.
"My service extends over twenty
years, and most of it has been on the
frontier. The happiest and most con-
tented garrisons I have ever been in
are those where both officers and men
are worked continuously from sun to
sun. Part drill and part the necessary
fatigue work of the post. It is no kind
ness to a command to allow them to
Loaf about saloon while their post,
fences and buildings are going to rack
and ruin, and the battalion rapidly
losing all skill and knowledge of drill.
"About the only argument for the
canteen that I have heard is that it
creates a large company fund with
which to feed the men. Would it not
be better for the morals of the army
to increase the ration, say to three
pounds of fresh beef every day, and
add butter, potatoes and onions7 Then
the saving on the salt meat would be
sufficient for all practical purposes. It
seems to me this government is we'll
able to both pay and feed its soldiers,
and not depend, as now, on the SOL
dier's weakness to fill his stomach. r
"Iclaim it is an insult to ask an Of
ficer or soldier to take charge of can
teen as now conducted. ut is a sad
sight to me to see a man who has
served his country faithfully for years,
still in its uniform and pay, standing
behind bar dealing out death and
destruction to his comrades, and him
self gradually sinking to their level.
"Bad as the liquor business is in
civil life, it is always cash business,
and does not teach men the bad habit
of contracting debts Not so with the
government saloon. Here every. in
ducement is held out to the soldier to
anticipate his pay: He is encouraged
to contract debts, and the canteen Of
ficer is expected to sit along side the
pay table and rob the men of their
pay before they can get outside to
settle their honest debts. The laun-
dress and the tailor must wait till the
saloon is satisfied; then, if anything is
left, they can take their chances of
getting their hard earned wages."-

his return to congress. The farmers

She Slipped Off the rocks into deep
water, and Immediately foundered
The; majority OF the officers and crew
were below when the vessel struck, and
she sank so quickly afterward that none
of them had time to reach the deck.
2 The disaster was so sudden and com
plete that it was impossible for those
on deck to get a boat into water.
The time between the striking and
sinking of the VESSEL was so short that
nearly all on board went down without
making sign.
Three sailors, who managed to reach
the shore near Camarinas. were badly
cut ana bruised by being thrown by the
seas against rocks, and when they
reached land they were exhausted by
their struggles.
They were taken to a hospital. where
they yet remain.
The admiralty will hold an investiga-
ton into the circumstances attending
the loss of the Serpent. the three sur
vivers will be called upon to give their
evidence.
