Duluth politicians, in remem brance
of the defeat of Odin Halden for
state auditor, will trot forth can

by the magnificent majority of eight
votes, a proof of local popularity
that would go far toward placing
him in the ranks of formidable can

gubernatorial chair was made to
fit his form.

Especial Correspondence

Eight hundred miles Of battlefelds
In an almost straight line from Beau
fort west Of Johannesburg. Yet. this
is only one Of the three great lines
along and between which the stub
bornest fights of modern days were
waged. AS the Limited Mail pounded
and trundled on. for two days and
nights through the stricken fields

questionings Of the, armchair tacti,

Mr.. Atkins executed,
In Cape Colony the relics Of war are
few and far, between, and many a
farm that sheltered the enemy and
! stood to him as an arsenal has es-
capped the fate 1t merited. In fact, |
only say one or two in ruins all the
way from Beaufort west to the Orange
river. But from thence onward you
may trace the red track Of war from
end to end of the once smiling and
prosperous land.
Just across the bridge little to the
right, the blackened ruins of a big
farm house stand gaunt and silent
amid It's groves of poplars and the
orchards on both sides of the little
stream that flows through what was
once a smiling oasis in the wilderness
of the veldt.
Hence for hundreds Of miles you can
scarcely see farm that Is not de-
serted, or a house that is not rooAess
and tenantless.
The country for 100 miles south of
Johannesburg is an absolute wider
ness, tenanted only by ragged Kafiirs,
NANCY dogs and mobs Of forlorn
horses, mules and donkeys, turned
loose to rest and feed or starve and
die as the remains Of their strength
may determine-and the asvogels
wheeling watchfully above them, wait
ing for some poor starving brute, too
weak to feed, to sink on to Its knees
and roll over.

GREAT BEND.-(Special) John H,
Reed, a farmer living seven miles
south Of this place, In stafford county,
was struck by lightning about 5 o'clock
Tuesday morning and badly injured,
but not fatally. He was working III
the field at the time, and seeing a
storm coming up, he started to I'M

knocked down by bolt Of lightning.
He remained unconscious for several
hodrs, but the doctors think he will
recover. The three horses were in
stantly killed. sH.s l

/ 1t was here that the long-pent-up
fury of Mr.. Atkins was finally let
loose; here that the disasters and dis
graces Of Spion Kop, Nlcholson's Mex,
Colenso and Magersfonten were
wiped out in blood and fire, Every
night as the demoralized Beers sought
refuge and little breathing space in
the hills, they looked back and saw
miles of fire marking where their
crops and homesteads had been TWEEN
ty-four hours before. Only a single
house in all the hundred miles was
left unburnt, and that was saved by
the prayers and tears of newly
welded bride.
Those who saw it tell me that that
MISUNDERSTANDING hurricane Of
shot and shell, bullet and steel, fame
and furious vengeance, was the most
terrible spectacle in all the war.
Would that, in some prophetic vision,
it might have been beheld four years
ago by the men whose greed and am
bition made it the CHASTITY necessity
that 1t was.
But the coming of peace has stirred
to new energy both Boer and Briton,
and the development of the devas-
tated country is proceeding with re-
markable speed. Soon the restocked
farms will have the aspect of happi-
ness and prosperity they wore before
the flood of war swept them bare.
With the tide of immigration that in
evitably will set in when the territory
has been put in order, new era will
begin, and the foundations will be laid
for the great republic which 1t is
South Afrlca's destiny to become.

strike Saturday afternoon and for sew
eral hours nearly a hundred phones
were tied up. The trouble arose be-
cause the girls asked that the electri'
clan, John H. Martin, be discharged
and their request was ignored, the
management discharging one Of the
girls instead. The remaining girls
then asked for her reinstatement and

says that harvest wages this season
will be about 81 a day for hands and
81 a day for hands with teams.
1.-THE reports show that at least 1900
teams can be used in the harvest
fields said he. "Of course, they will
have to be driven In. It wouldn't pay
man to ship his team in simply for
the harvest work. 1t would be the
best way if he intended to stay here
afterward. The harvest and threshing
will last about 100 days. Most of the
counties will begin harvesting about
June 20, If the rain lets up, If it
doesn't there Is no telling when the
harvest will begin"
Farmers fear that the continued
rains will bring on rust. So far none
has been reported.
