MR.. DONNELLY'S CAREER.

Was Identified With Minnesota's History
for Over Forty Years.
lgnatius Donnelly has taken a posi-
ton in American literature almost pre-.
eminent for it's versatility and for the
iconoclastic disregard of old traditions,
literary Or economic, which he ex-
hibited in his writings.
Born in Philadelphia Nov. 5, 1881,
he was educated in the public schools
and studied law, but shortly after his
admission, at the age of ~, he removed
to Minnesota. This was in 1857. He
rapidly took q front rank at the bar of
the then territory and when the
first election under statehood was held
he was the nominee Of the Republican
party tor lieutenant governor. In 1861
he was reelected and at the next cleo
ton he was sent to congress from the
then Second district, which he repre-.
sented during the days of reconstruct
ton.
On locating at Nininger, Dakota
county, in 1857, he had established q
weekly paper, mainly devoted to the
encouragement of immigration, and on
his return from congress he again
Devoted Himself to Literary Pursuits.
although retaining an active interest in
affairs politically. From 1874 to 1878
he was state senator, and his wido
knowledge and keen wit made him
even more feared in the state forum
than he had been in the national.
With the advent of the Farmers AL
lance in the early sos and the subse-
quent development of the originally
non-partisan body into an effective
factor in the politics of Minnesota. Mr..
Donnelly was an eminent factor.
In 1887 he was returned to the house
of represen tatives, and in 1891 to the
state senate, where he was the central
figure in a series of debates such as
have not been heard there since. His
last political service was in 1897 as q
member of the state house of repre-.
gentatives.
He was several times nominated for
governor Of Minnesota, but failed of
election, and last year he was the
nominee of the Mid.Road Populists for
the national presidency.
Was a NIerciless Debater.
Keen in perception and marvelously
ready to reply, Mr.. Donnelly was, per.
haps, the most merciless of all the de-
baters who have ever sat in the legis-
lature of his state. while in the ma.
tional congress he demonstrated to
colleagues that the then frontier had
no apologies to ask in comparative abil.
ity OF its older neighbors in the sister.
hood of states.
Gifted with memory almost mar.
velous, an interchangeable reader and
with, all the wealth of poetry that a
long line of Irish. ancestry could
give him, his orations were al.
most faultless in diction, and in
his powers as an orator he was ALWAYS
as forceful and as facile as with his
pen. His lectures bristled with wit and
glistened with humor; his impromptu
addresses were apt and always inter.

other toward Beaufort West.

the western is doubtful, not 30 per cent

In that direction.
Large Keinforcements Needed.
''Letters are arriving here detailing
damage and robbery by the invaders
and beseeching military assistance.
Any action on the part of the Colony
will not abate the urgent need of large
reinforcements."
"The aspect of affairs is scarcely less
gloomy says the Cape Town CORE.
