roreans cast envious eyes upon the magnificent land which Lobengula owned by right of conquest Ger many was thinking of extending her sway over the country. and Portugal claimed it on the ground that she held the coast.
 But wh"e nations were talking. a man was acting. This man was Cecil Rhodes. Cecil Rhodes had determined that the big country to the north of the Transvaal should be British. So he organized a company, known as the British South Africa Company, to settle and develop the country. He obtained charter from the British govern ment. and with Lobengulas permis- sion, took a body of pioneers into Mashonaland in 1890, and annexed it.
 Now it had been the custom of the Matebele warriors to pay peri. odic visits to the kraals or villages of the Mashonas. and levy tribute upon them.
 When Cecil Rhodes Company oc- cuped the country they let tt hc known that the attacks upon the Mashonas must cease. But the young indunas. or chiefs. thought other wise To them fighting was the sole object in life, and they resented any interference with their favorite pastime.
 In 1893 a party left Bulawayo un- der Lobengulas orders and pro ceeded to Mashonaland. They ar rived al little town known as Victoria. and attempted to molest the natives and obtain tribute. They were warned by the Administrator, Dr. Leander Starr Jameson that such actions would not be allowed by the authorities. The Matabele, however. had never met the white men in war. and despised their pow CTS They persisted in their at tacks upon the peaceful and harm less Mashona. until Dr. Jameson or dercd them to be dispersed by the E. S A. police. This led to the Matebele war, which ended in the occupation of Matebeleland and the death of Lobengula, who succumbed to an attack of malaria while flee ing from a body of troopers who were bent on his capture.
 Within sight of Lobengula's old kraal Bulawayo. the place of slaughter" there is now a flourish ing city called after the old place. Bulawayo and few miles away, in the lonely Matoppos, a granite slab marks the last resting place of Cecil John Rhodes founder of Rho desia

his quarters.
 He turned 10 the north. and after several months crossed the Croco- dilo. or Limpopo, river and entered what is now called Matabeleland, RhOdesia
 Mosilikatse was now in his prime. He conducted a series of sanguin- ary battles, always victorious. His name became a terror to the orig inal inhabitants. Rapine and blood shed followed in the track of his imPis. His power grew. and event ually he established himself in a place which he called "Bulawayo. which means the place of slaugh- ter"
 His flying columns of young war riors secured the country for hun drods of miles. burning the native villages. killing the old men, carry ing off the women of marriageable age, and impressing the likely look, ing young men into their ranks These prisoners soon became ident. flied with the dominant Amazulu eIement, and joined whole-hcartedIy in the raids on more peaceful tribes Time passed, a new generation arose. These men had only a vague idea of their origin, but a great idea of their worth. They called themselves Ma Tebele," which means the men" Their enemies To the northeast they called Ma Iwiua, or dirt" This term has since been applied to the whole country where these people lived, the country being known as Mashon- aland.
 Presently Mosilikatse died. He was succeeded by his son, the famous Lobeugula. Lobengula was a worthy son Of his father, only more so. His name became notorious throughout The length and breadth of the land. Blood sacrifices were an everyday occurrence. Smelling out" by witch doctors and sorceresscs was the means adopted by Lobengula 10 rid himself of his enemies.
 But to the few white men who came 10 the country he was not un- kind. He welcomed F. C. Selous ill the early '70s, and several others partook of his hospitality.
 But there came a time when Eu-

EIGHTH DREADNOUGHT.

KEEL. The eighth German Dreadnou2ht battleship. hitherto known as the lIrSatZ Frithjof was :aunched recently from the Schichau yards at DanZig and named Olden- burg. The launch was performed by Princess Eitel Frederick of Prussia, daughter of the Grand Duke of Old enburg, who delivered the official speech. This is the battleship of the 1909 financial program, whose premature commencement gave rise 10 much international controversy last year The contractors have not to deliver the ship until April 1912, but she can. of course, be completed at least six months earlier
 As a result of an outbreak be- tween Ruthene and Polish students at the University of Lemberg, 120 students and seven non-students have been arrested.

The origin and history of the Matabele people forms one of the most interesting stories in the pages of history. Their rise to power in South Africa was as dramatic as 1t was surprising, anI short skrtca regarding them may be of interest To readers of the Alaskan Citizen.
 The story opens in Iululand. when Chaka, the black Napoleon was in the heyday of his glory. Chaka was a COnqueror, and had asserted his authority over all tribes within reach of his impis, or regiments; but there were many in his own camp who envied his power and did all they could to undermine his influence
 Chief among these conspirators was Mosilikatse halfbrother 10 Chaka MosiIikatse's enmity to Chaka was well known. and the chief watched him day and night. Mosilikatse himself was a big in duna. or general, and had large following, who were prepared to support him in any of his schemes for self-aggrandizement
 There came a time when Mosili- katse's influence became obnoxious to his brother, Chaka. Mosilikatse was at that time engaged in q cam paign, in which he had been victor ious, and Chaka began to fear that his own power was endangered. Ac- cordingly he sent an impi against Mosilikatse to crush him.
 Mosilikatse knowing that he could not beat Chaka, fled across the mountain into what is now the Or ange Free State, taking with him Inc flower of the Zulu army. Here he was met by the Boer voortrek- kers, and engaged with them in many d bloody fight.
 Gradually he was driven north. and at last crossed the Vaal river. Here Mosilikatse and his followers halted for a time. But the advance of the white settlers was irresistible. When the Boers reached the Trans yaal they found their old enemy Mosilikatse in possession Again there came some stubborn fights i; but the musket was more than a match for the assegai, and once more MOsiIikatse decided to change

GOOD MEN IN THE |DITAROD

The average stampeder expects too much. He dreams and has wis ions. In 1900, when the writer was on his way to Nome, a passenger on board the same steamer had nice little iron-tooth garden rake. He intended to rake nuggets out Oi the sand with this rake While all the newcomers to mining camps are not so green as this many methods are used and vast expenditures are made in efforts that are just as un- practical and impossible as the use of a garden rake for digging mug gets.
 In every stampede there are few people who by experience have learned the game. There was a time when they were tenderfeet, but they had courage and did not quit because of the first failure. They stones to success. Experience has taught them not to be carried away by enthusiasm, and it has taught them the methods by which success is obtained in the mines. The most recent stampede in Alaska is to the new Iditarod camp. The distinctive feature of this stampede is that most of the people in the new camp, and most of those bound thither, are old prospectors and seasoned min CTS. The fact that many of the old prospectors of Alaska are now in the Iditarod camp, or on their way, bids us hope this season will demon strate whether this new strike is the bonanza that many are predicting
 There will be stampedes just as long as there are strikes, and there will be strikes in Alaska for the next century The best informed have but faint idea of the vast mineral wealth in that country. There are large areas as yet unex- plored; and only small part of the explored regions has been pros pected.-AlaskaY Yukon Magazine.
