50 FELL AT FIRST FIRE
pEsPERATE BATTLE BETWEEN
 EoERS AND BRITISH.
One of tine Most Bloody Engagements of the South African War at vlakfontein-Inva of
 Cape Colony.

London. June 5.-Details received re- garding the fighting at Vlakfontt in show that 1t was one of the most des- perate engagements of the war. Gen eral Dixons column was traversing the district and establishing posts when it was attacked by 1900 Boers unde. Commandant Kemp. The Boers were so close that fifty British fell at the first voliey.
 The yeomanry held the position, pro- tecting the guns until they were near ly decimated and then finding it inn possible to save the guns the artil- lerymen shot the gun horses to pre- vent the Beers moving the guns. The column quickly recovered from the shock of unexpected attack. The Der byshires chorged with bayonets and arter a short, desperate fight, drove off the Boers and recovered the guns. The Derbyshires and Yeomanry both lost heavily.
 It is asserted that while the Boers had temporary possession of the guns they shot two artillerymen in cold blood for refusing to work them against their own comrades.
 1Te dppolituhNhb ol oGhCt ICuCIlt who has been recruiting his health in Capetown. to command the operations in Cape Colony. indicates that Lord Kitchener attaches considerable im- portance to the invasion. The recru- descence of such fighting brings fur ther demands for the sending out of endorsements. The surrender of Jamestown Is regarded as a disagree able incident. because 1t has provided Commandant Fritzinger with a fresh supply of the sinews of war.
 Dispatch from Kitchener. ( London, June 1.-The War Office to- night published the following dispatch from Lord Kitchener, dated Pretoria, June 4:
 Jamestown, Cape Colony, surrend- cred to Kritzinger's commando on the morning of June g. after four hours fighting. The town guard and local volunteers were overpowered before our pursuing columns could come up.
 Our casualties were three killed and two wounded. The Boers loss is said to have been greater. The stores were footed, but the garrison was released Have placed General French in charge Of the operations in Cape Colony"

difficulties in the wayOf bringing themln
TO the service of the federal government
II is said that the war department Is
anxious that the National guard OF the
various states shall be reorganized IN
such a manner that it will be in closer
touch with the regular army, better and
uniformly equipped and more readily
available in an emergency This sub
iect is said to have been taken up by
Col. Sanger, the Assistant Secretary OF
War. and be purposes making 1t his
special work during his term of office.
He has no specific plan at present, but Is
holding conferences with the National
guard officers of the several states. He
is reported to find them All EAGER for
reorganization
ANY such move would mean increas-
ed appropriations and close supervi-
sion of the various militia organizations
by officers Of the Regular army. The
Government now spends something like
81 00o. 900 year for the National guard
Army officers are likewise attached to
the commands of each state, for the
purpose Of criticising and reporting TO
on the condition Of the
guard. BUTT is felt that something more
is needed. more direct control of the
militia by the Regular army and an or
ganization which will make the regi-
ment- and companies subject to the call
Of the federal government. 1t is not
to make this obligatory, but it
is desired to make it SO attractive, and
the benefits so great that the states will
be glad TO put their militia under the
control Of the War department to a
sreat extent
If this is done we shall have nation
Il guard in fact as well as in name
Ncw we have state guards only. Col.
sanger may have his plans sufficiently
perfected by winter to lay the entire
subject before congress.

OVER THE FALLS AND LIVES
WOMAN BRAVES NIAGARA IN A BARREL
LITTLE HURT-PRAYED ALL
THE TINE.
tBY TELEGRAPH TO THE rRrsuNr.I

Niagara Falls N Y. Oct. 24.-Mrs. Anna Ed
son Taylor forty-three years old, went
Niagara Falls this afternoon and survived. a
feat never before accomplished. and indeed.
never attempted, except in the deliberate com-
mission of suicide. She made the trip in
barrel Not only did she survive. but she
escaped without broken bone. her only ap-
parent injuries being scalp wound one and g.
half inches long. a slight concussion of the
brain. some shock 10 her nervous system and
bruises about the body. She was conscious
when taken out OF the barrel the doctors in
attendance upon her tonight said that though
she was somewhat hysterical her condition is
not at all serious and that she probably will
be out of bed within few days.
She went over the Horseshoe Fall the Cana
dian side in barrel weighted at the bottom
with 200-pound anvil. The barrel. with Mrs
Taylor inside. was set adrift above the upper
rapids. nearly mile from the falls. 1t was
seventeen minutes passing through the rapids
and the various reefs to the brink of the
falls. 1t travelled along in good shape keeping
we'll toward the Canadian side At 4:23 o'clock
II gracefully rounded the to the falling
waters OF the Horseshoe little to side Of
the centre. and dropped in fine style. bottom
down. into the lower river the plunge being 16S
feet.
AS it passed the crest 1t was lost in spray.
but hardly a minute later was seen the
lower river. 1t caught on the Canadian
side at 4:40 o'clock. When the cover was
moved Mrs. Taylor waved her hand to the
people about but before she could be taken out
OF the barrel the head was sawed and a hoop
broken of.
True to her calculations. the anvil fastened
10 the bottom of the barrel had kept it foot
downward Had 1t turned over and landed on
its head Mrs. Taylors head must have been
crushed in or her neck broken. When taken out
she thanked God she alive thanked all who
had helped her in any way. and said she would
never do 1t again. but that she not sorry
she had done it, EFF II would help her financial
ly." She said she had prayed all during the
trip, except during a few moments OF uncOn-
sciousness just after her descent.
The barrel is four and one-half feet high and
about three feet in diameter. a leather harness
and cushions inside protected her body. Air
secured through a rubber tube connected
with small opening near the top of the barrel.
Mrs. Taylor is a school teacher, and recently
came here from Bay City. Mich
