Lions aud BuUdiOes.

A well-knowl traveller in Africa
Gays that III one of his long Journeys
he came across the dislocated skeleton
of Il buffalo almost inerminglcd with
the broken bones of lion, the sk ulI
OF which was lying near, while the
skull of the buffalo was also near at
hand, but devoid of the nasal bones
The ground evidently was the scene
of desperate combat, in which both
animals had succumbel.
Ii is a common practice among the
lions, this gentleman says, to hunt in
company. A friend of mine in South
Africa had peculiar example of this.
His friend v had wounded a bull
buffalo, which had retrcated within
the forest. The two hunters carefully
followed the blood-track, but after a
short advance were startled by sue
ccssion of loud roars, which beiokened
lions close at hand.
There could be little doubt that the
wounded buffalo had been attacked.
Therefore, with proper precautions
they. approached The spot until an ex-
citing scene presented itself suddenly
on the other side of large fallen
tree, which happily concealed the ap-
proach of the two hunters.
Three lions were engaged in life
aud death combat with the gallant old
bull, who made desperate defense,
first knocking over one of his enemies,
then goring another to the ground,
and exhibiting strength which ap.

nation.
Suddenly the buffalo fell dead.
This was the result of the original
wound as the rife bullet had passed
through the lungs.
The lions were not aware of this,
and began to quarrel among them
selves about their imagined victory.
One huge beast reared 10 half its
height and placed its forc-paws upon
the body of the PROSTATE buffalo,
while at the head and the hindquar-
ters an angry lion clutched the dead
body in its spreading paws, and
growlcd at the posscssor of the CEN
tire. This formed grand picture
within only few yards distance, but
two rife-shots stretched two lions
upon the ground, and the third bound
cd into the thick covert and disap-
peared.

RU>sIA'S WHITE MOURNING COSTUMES.
Russia is far ahead of every other
country in Europe, except Denmark,
in one thing, at least; that is in the
matter of mourning clothes. Beauli-
ful and rich as is the mourning Of to-
day, there is something fearfully de-
pressing about tho costume of unmit-
gated woe which casts n gloom over
everybody. How much more becom-
ing white would bc-white Grape and
white henrietta! How fetching Il
pretty young widow would be in
white weeds, exclaims the Commercial
Gazette, with long crcam-colorcd
Grape yelling hanging down her back
aud Il bunch of deep purple violels
nesting on her bodice.
White mourning has been intro
duccd into Denmark by the czarina
and has already been adopted by the
English princess, who, it is hoped,
will transplant the custom on English
soil. The Czarina recently wore q
gown of cream-colorcd silk warp hen-
rictta. A fold of white crepe half Il
yard wide trims the Russian skirt
around the bottom, and bands of it
ornament the bodice and form the col.
lar and cuffs. Her small bonnet is of
dulI-iinishcd white silk, entirely con-
ccaIed by her long white crepe veil,
which falls down her back. White
undrcsscd mousquctairo gloves, heav-
lily stitched, were worn with it and
her majesty carried a translucent par
asol entirely made of sheer white
crepe.

A rather amusing feature of the $S5
package business, which was so sue
cessfully operated in this county, is the
yarns that were told to farmers in Or
der to induce them to purchase. There
was a great association of farmers
formed in the United States to control
prices; they proposed to get half mil
lion members, $4,000 having already
joined. You pay three dollars to be-
come a member and can then buy dry
goods packages at the ridiculously
low figure of $85, send your butter and
eggs to Chicago and buy buggies and
farm machinery cheaper than machine
agents can purchase them. The agents
only took gilt-edged paperafrom 80 acre
farms and over, with no encumbrance.

are we'll able to stand the racket and if

pie are too 'churchy.' When a

ton asked is what church does she
belong TOP If a Methodist, the
Methodists call on her and the sisters
Of the other churches give her a wide
berth; if a Congregationist, the mem
bers of that church take her under their
wing and the others give her the
go-by. In Princeton they never ask
what church you affiliate with and
don't seem to care whether you are a
member of any church at all or not.
Yes, I like Princeton and it's hospitable

and his death was not unexpected. The
remains were inferred in the Stoves

ceased was native of Germany and
was born Nov. 18th, 1928. He came to
this country in 1855 and located on a
homestead in the eastern portion of
Princeton township where he resided
until the date of his death. His widow
and seven0grown up children survive
him. Mr.. Henschel was a prosperous
farmer, devout christian and a man
who was held in high esteem by his
neighbors and friends. "

WASHBURN TAKES As HAND.
The Never Ending Mile Laos Imbroglio III.
terests Senator Washburn-He
Talks for the SettI era.

WASHINGTON tl D. G., May IA [Spec-
ial. Senator Washburn called on
Commissioner Carter to-day to ascer-
tain how the white settlers on the
Mile Laos lands could best be pro
tected in their rights. The senator
presented a letter from Postmaster
Hale setting forth the injustice of GUST
ing those who had .taken homesteads
on the reservation. Commissioner
Carter will submit the facts in the case
to Senator Washburn in a day or two,
with some recommendations.
Secretary Noble on Jan. 9th, 1881,
rendered decision to the effect that
the vacant Mile Laos lands were sub
ject to settlement, but on Sept. 3rd fol-
lowing he decided that they must be
disposed of in the same manner as
other Indian lands. They should be
examined for timber and an appraise-
-ment of the timber land made. The
land found to be fit for agriculture
should be opened to settlers by proc
lamatiOn. Prior to the date of the
second decision several hundred citi-
zens settled on the lands, many of them
making extensive improvements.
With the decision of Sept. 3rd, 1891,
was an order that all entries should be
cancelled. The settlers aDpealed fl
the secretary for reconsideration, and
on. April %, 1892, he reiterated his
second decision. The settlers are not
likely to be ousted, but they are
agitated over the injustice which has
been done and demand relief. Com.
missioner Carter thinks that an act oil
congress is required granting the set.

them their homestead right and paying

BIG LAKE, MIMI. h

BIG LAKE, MIMI, May l6, 1892
Editor U7oion:-I noticed in last weeks
UNION an article in regard to the Sum-
mer Training School at your city, in
which there are some reflections cast
upon our county superintendent, Mr..
Whitney, and which do him a great
injustice.
Mr.. Whitney is not opposed to the
summer school as one would suppose
after reading your article; but on the
contrary has been urging the teachers
of this county to attend, and is doing all
in his power to make the school a sue
cess. I venture the prediction that
Sherburne county will have as many
teachers in attendance, in proportion
to the number of teachers employed,
as any county represented.
I think it but justice to say that Mr..
Whitney has taken a great deal of in
terest in his corps of teachers, and has
done, and is now doing much hard
work for their improvement and ad-
vancement. We have organized a
county teachers association in this
county and our county superintendent
has given us hearty and efficient assist
ance and has labored hard to make
these meetings the unqualified success
they have been. We had one of the
best Of Institutes last fall, and at that
time Mr.. Whitney did much to secure
a full attendance Of the teachers and
for the convenience of those who at
tended. Politics have no place in this
communication, for Mr.. Whitney and
myself differ politically. But send
you this that you may right the wrong,
which I am sure you will be pleased to
do, now that you understand the mat
ter. Respectfully,

in regard to the mon who were selling

that when they measured the goods
that came in pieces to them, they
found that there was not over two
thirds as much goods as they purchased.
