Cape Town. Union of South Africa, Via London, Oct. 13.=It has been of fcia1ly announced here that a com nand under Col Marttz has rebeIIed in the northwest of the Cape prov inces. E Martial law has been pro- claimed throughout the. Union.
 The proclamation imposing martial law foMows:
 Where's, g. state of war exists be- tween the British empire on the one hand and the German empire on the other; and whereas the government of the protectorate of German Southwest Africa has through a. widespread se- cret propaganda consistently endeav- ored to seduce citizens of the Union and officers and members of the de- fense forts Of the Union from their allegiance, and to cause rebellion and civil war within the Union, and where as these efforts have so far succeeded that. Lieut.. Col Solomon Gerhardus Meritz, together with a, number of his officers and a portion of the forces under his command has shame fully and traitorousIy gone over to the enemy and is now in open rebellion against the government and the people of the Union and is, in conjunction with forces of the enemy, invading the northern portion of the cape prov ince; and,
 whereas, there is grave reason to think that the government of Ger man Southwest Africa has, through it's numerous spies and agents, commun- icated with and corrupted also other citizens of the Union under false and treacherous pretext of faxoring the estabhshment of a republic in South Africa; and,
 Whereas, the government of the Union considers it necessary to take protective measures to protect and defend the interests of the Union and it's loyal and law abiding citizens against these insidious and treacher- ous attacks from within and with out, and to that end to declare mar tial law"

 QUICKLY STOPPED
 HERE YESTERDAY

That Bridgeport was to made the field of operations of thes c1everest gang of pickpockets travelling through out the East is the belief of the police following the arrest of Joseph Marks, giving 73 Elm street, Providence R. l., as his address, yesterday.

 Arraigned before Depu&y Judge Frank L. Wilder at today's city court sessao ion, bonds were fixed at $1 600 and the hearing continued until Saturday for an investigation. The money was imm ediately furnished in cash by sew era1 well dressed men, believed to be companions of Marks.
 Mathewson was standing in the crowd when he felt 8 slight tug at his pocket, saw a man he says was Marks edging away and discovered that his money was missing. Keep ing Marks in sight. Mathewson se- cured Policeman Ziebold. They hastily traced the accused to the rear of a nearby building, where with two we'll dressed companions, a sum of money was being divided. Marks was caught after a brief chase.
 The accused says that it is a case of Tnistakened identity and that he is a notion peddIer. Also that he is mar ried and has a wife and child in Providence. BertilIon data will be sent to other police departments in an attempt to learn his record.

BALDWIN'S FIGHT AGAINST CORRUPT IS LAUDED
Representative Wilson Praises Governor at Rally In
 Bristol Today. RORABAGKISM ISSUE
 IN STATE CAMPAIGN Democrats Will Finish Cor ruption This EIection,''
 Says Speaker.
Especial to The Farmer.)

Bristol, Oct 13-Representative Lynn w. Wilson, Of Bridgeport. this noon fired the opening gun of the state campaign locally when he addressed a noon-day factory rally here. Several hundreds of employees of three shops heard Representative Wilson castigate Republican subservience to railroad machine rule.
 Governor Baldwin, said the speaker is the man who, in four years, had . done much to eliminate this corrupt ing force in Connecticut legislation Ut is not dead yet'' he said, sbut it has been delivered a mortal blow. This election is needed to finish it.
 Representative wilson represents the speakers bureau of the Democratic State Central Committee, and has been assigned several speaking dates at ral- lies in industrial centers. His remarks today, in full are appended:
 In this campaign important ques- tions press for solution, none of them, fortunately, new questions, because nothing in the way of social change can be deemed suitable for wide use until it has been conside cred from many angles, and tried upon a scale large enough to ascertain. its merit.
 Even after twenty or thirty years of agitation over the wisdom of changing a political, or social institution in some degree there may be differences of opinion, and very honest dineren- ces, for some men will prefer a stage coach long after steam roads have proved more convent ent.
 But, on the other hand, our govern ment and our institutions, require for their protection and their -hea1thful existence constant vigilance upon the part of the people Ignorant, or dis honest men constantly threaten the state, just as gardens are threatened by noxious insects.
 Nature does not intend bs to. enjoy anything without thee expenditure of effort, and she has properly requir- ed that our freedom and our material prosperity shall be determined in de- gree by our diligence in gaining and preserving those things.
 Hence the duty of caring for the good things we have is superior even to our duty of adding new things, or what is called making progress. The abuses that creep into our system must be eradicated as zeaIously as a farmer eliminates the weeds from his crop
