whether they were for peace or for war.

Like an American Indian Uprising.
The war with the Matabeles, which broke
out early in South Africa in the present
year, in many respects resembled tho con-
flicts between the carly colonists in America
and the North American Indians. Several
hundred OF the settlers in the more sparse
ly settled portions of Matabeleland were
murdered In cold blood by the natives.
Survivors In the country districts quickly
gathered in the larger towns, and lines Of
defense were thrown up, while the existing
Notifications were improved and garrison
ed as strongly as possible. The natives
wero at first commanded by son Of the
late King Lobengula To the number OF
%, 600 the rebellious MatAbeles gathered on
the hills around Bulawayo, the principal
town in the Matabelo country. To con-
siderable extent the natives were actuated
by a sort OF religious frenzy, but other
causes are said TO have combined TO bring
about the trouble. Chief among these
causes may be mentioned the wrOngdoings
Of the native police and the imposition by
| the South African Chartered company OF
hut tax on the AZ, 900 huts Of the natives
Of Matabeloland. This tax the natives
sternly resisted for many months. But
| the Chartered company insisted upon this
revenue being collected and refused {,
make any exceptions whatever. Many
deeds Of valor were reported TO have beer
accomplished during this Matabele wal
by men like f. G. Selous, the African OK
| plorer, Captain Napier Burnham, th'
| American scout and othors. But it wa.
not until Cecil Rhodes, at this time &.

his father was still absent on the hunt.

Princeton base ball cranks we're

first game was that of the Anoka Clip

Cured on both sides but the game was
too one-sided to be satisfactory to the
spectators. Score Princeton %,

visit Anoka and play the return game
when the down river club will have
pulled itself together and the result
may be different.
The second game was that of ST..

Cloud club was made up of pickups
and couldn't play the game enough to
keep warm. The Princeton club
changed positions in the infield and
found when to late to save the game
that the new arrangement was hor-
rible mistake. Score St. Cloud %:

Chairman County Committee

John Orion, who resides at Vine
land, on Mile Laos lake, was here yes
terday. He is relative of Judge
Fleming, Mrs. Orion being cousin
of the judge, but the latter had not
seen Mr.. Orion for a great many years.
In talking over old times it was found
that George Hastings, of this city, was
a drummer in the same company in the
army, in which Mr.. orion was ffer,
and the two soldiers had bunked to-
gether for two years. They had not
heard of each other since the war, and
Mr.. Orion was greatly disappointed to
learn that Mr.. Hastings was working
at Walker and could not be seen.
Judge Fleming says he is going to get
the two old soldiers together, even if
he has to take a rig and go clear out to
Vineland with Mr.. Hastings.-Brain-

PEACE IN THE GRAVE
Augusta FalensOhelx, Of Vineland
Took Paris Green to End
g. Her Earthly Trouble
Driven From Home by the Cruel
z ty Of Her Parents, Though
g Still a Mere Child. -.

Coroner. O. G. Tarbox was notified
Tuesday of the suicide of Miss Augusta
Falensohek at Vineland. She died
from taking a dose Of Paris Green. H.
This case is a particularly sad one.
Miss Falensohek was a mere girl, but
in her fifteen summers she had suffered
every torment imaginable. Her par
ents were cruel aud heartless and fire.
quently beat her in a most brutal man
ner. Finally she could stand their
abuse no longer and sought refuge
with Fred Guelzow, neighbor liv-
ing near Vineland. Her parents
finally discovered her retreat and
threatened to compel her to return
She appealed to the Guelzows to pro-
tect her but they told her she was not
of age and they could not prevent her
parents from taking her home if they
undertook to do so. This made her
desperate and she vowed she would die
before she would again place herself
in their power. Thursday night her
benefactors found her vomiting and
when asked what occasioned her sick
ness,she confessed that she had taken
q spoonful of Paris green and wished
to die. Her wish was gratiied but it
was not until after a night of suffering
that death relieved her of her earthly
cares.
The neighborhood is highly excited
over the affair and considerable loud
talk is INDUCED in. A thorough in
vestigation will be made by the
authorities.

Smash Last Week.

Two Eastern Minnesota Freights Played
J. Smash Last Week.
The ten O'Clock Eastern freight@ has
suffered two accidents within week,
both of which resulted in costly
wrecks. The first occurred last Fri
day night at Ground House. The
regular lllar .tresin had stopped. at the sta
tioa and was backing up to make run
for the hill when it collided with an
extra which was following it closely.
The engine of the extra was COM
pletely wrecked, and the fireman killed.
Seventeen cars loaded with millstuffs
were ditched and wrecked and the
track was blockaded for about 20
hours. The night passenger train
came up as far as Elk River before the
wreck was reported and was forced to
return to Minneapolis and go up over
the st. P. & D. road. The second
wreck occurred at Princeton Sunday
night. The train had broken in two
below town and when the first end
came into Princeton and stopped to
switch, the detached cars came down
the grade at good rate of speed
striking the stationary cars with such
force as to put seven of them out of the
service for some time. Fortunately
none of them left the trucks or the
track and no blockade occurred. They
were also loaded with millstuffs.

Those who have the matter of COL
Letting the material for the exhibit of
this county's products at the State fair
are working hard to visit every section

into every town but even this will not
be sufficient TO secure what is needed.
r. F. Mcclellan, who is taking an &C
tive part in this work, has requested
the UNION to ask everyone who has
anything which they consider worth
exhibiting to bring it in and leave it
either at his residence or at the depot,
but those who find themselves unable
to do this should notify him immedi-
ately and it will be collected. Every
thing must be in by Thursday night of
next week as the car will be shipped
Friday. 1872 = .... =.
IN packing material for the exhibit
considerable care must be used. Pota-
toes and other vegetables should be
handled carefully to avoid bruises and
corn and grains should be Grated.
Mile Laos county won the distinction
of being pronounced the banner agri-
cultural county Of the State last year
and can again this year if everyone
takes hold. Anyone who owns farm
in this county should show
enough appreciation of the benefits
which will be derived from this ad-
vertising to lend hand. Come, now,

| The Ground House wreck is respon-
sible for another accident although no
fatality is likely to occur. A fagman
from the wrecking crew was
kept on duty 81 hours and the result
was a sleeping sentinel. A train ap-
preached the wreck without awaken
ing him although he was setting on
the ties and before the engineer dis
covered the man the engine hit him
and threw him down the embankment.
A number of broken bones and several
bruises resulted but his injuries are
not considered necessarily fatal.
1t is reported that the game ward
ems have made arrangements with the
farmers which will divide the reward
secured on the conviction of poachers
between the man who detects the
criminal and the warden. With an
arrangement of this kind it will be
difficult to find a covey which has not
a guardian.

In the Ring

SAN FRANCISCO, April 16.-Joe
Choynski failed to stop Tom Charley,
the Marine, in eight rounds tonight, at
the ePople's Palace theater. The match
was under the auspices of the National
ATHLETIC club. Twenty-Five hundred
people witnessed the contest
Choynski was the aggressor from the
start, contrary to expectations, as
Sharkey has always been the aggressor
in his previous fights. Choynski reached
Sharkey's face with his left and fol-
lowed up with hot left in the neck,
which sent Sharkey staggering against
the ropes. Choynski landed his left on
the jaw and in mix knocked Sharkey
clear through the ropes, and the latter
fell on his head on the outside. Choyn-
ski reached the jaw and nose in quick
succession with left. Just at the close
of the round Sharkey led at Jose with
. vicious right for the wind but fell low
and struck Joe in the groin, doubling
him up. The police jumped in the ring
amid great excitement and stopped the
night, announcing that it could not go
on. Choynski refused to claim foul,
as he could have done, and after about
twenty minutes delay the police oil
lowed the fight to go on. Seven more
rounds were fought, in which Choynski
landed about as often as he pleased,
though Sharkey made a game fight to-
ward the last, clinching and going down
repeatedly to avoid a Knockout. In
the eighth round Choynski chased
Sharkey around the ring. landing right
and left on the face and jaw. Sharkey
clinched and fell half a dozen times to
AVOID punishment staying down until
the referee counted nine. The fight
ended in mix up in which Joe landed
as often as he liked and all but had
Sharkey out
