From the Hastiags Union.


In our local columns We notice the
visit to this city on Monday last Of
Messrs. Angus Smith. John Robson,
Joe Reynolds aid John W. Crippsn.
It's probably generally known that
these gentlemen represent the only
parties buying wheat in this State,
and their visit to Minnesota at this
time is for the purpose of forming and
arranging tho most iniquitous scheme
for the robbing Of the people Of the
Northwest, ever yet attempted against
the farmers Of this State. In order to
understand the precise nature Of this
job, which has been put up to rob the
many to enrich the few, it may be well
to state the relation of the parties to
this combination sustain to each other
and how the pool which has been form
ed will effect the people. They are
not the only wheat buyers in tho State
but by the terms of the pool which they
have formed they control every elevs-
tor and every line Of transportation,
over which wheat can be carried to
market. What then is the result!
By this combination they crowd out
every other wheat buyer in Minnesota.
Every bushel of wheat raised in the
State will have to be sold to these
parties or kept to rotin bins Of the farm
-er. Other buyers cannot compete
with them, for such outside buyers
cannot get their wheat to market. The
elevators are closed sg.inst them, and
the various lines of railroads aud steam
boats are partial to the combination,
aud will carry only such wheat as is
bonght by this ring.


Now let US see the workings Of this
most iniquitous scheme for plupdering
the wheat-growers of Minnesota. Take
this city for instance. Heretofore these
parties and . number of others have
been competitors for the wheat
which seeks a market at this point,
one Of the largest wheat markets in the
State. Their buyers were upon tho
streets and roads leading into the city
and an active rivalry kept the price Of
wheat up to the highest figures that
it would bear in comparison With the
price Of wheat At M,l~aukee and Chica-
go. The different lines of steamers
were also competing for the transpor-
tatiou Of wheat and frequently reduced
the rates Of transportation in order to
get it. This also enhanced the Price of
wheat in tho hands Of the farmers.
Now oil this is changed. By the
terms Of this combination, there il to
be bu: one price paid for wheat, aad
that price is to. be just What ths ring
choose to make it. ALL the wheat
coming to this market i paid fot It
one Office out of fund furnlshed BY
the ring, aud afterwards divided b.
tweeuithe parties, and the ts.nsporta-
ton lines pro rata, upon basis agreed
upon between them. Then Ill COM
petion is out of, and the fitmer il left
at the mercy Of these shrewd and un-
scrupulous capitalists and he will bs
compelled to sell his wheat to this COM
bination of capital, at whatever price
they choose TO offer for it.

THEIR HEADS AND HEARTS ALL RIGHT The sensible
and womanly wemen Of Ohio largely signing, for
presentation to the Legislature the following protest
against any legislation to establish woman's suffrage


We acknowledge no nieriority to men. We Cam
to have no less ability to perform the duties which
God has imposed upon u.s. than they have to perform
those imposed upon them.


We believe that God has wisely and we'll adanted
each sex to the proper performance of the duties of
EACH


We believe our trusts to be as important and sacrad
as any that exist on earth.


We feel that our present duties fill up the whole
measure OF cur time and abilities and that they are
such as none but ourselves can perform


Their importance requires us to protest against all
efforts to compel us to those obligations which
cannot be separated from suffrage; but which cannot
be performed BY u.s. without the sacrifice of the hiph
est interests OF our families and of society.


1t ls our fathers, brothers, husbands and sons who
represent US at the balot-box Our fathers and broth
eFs love us Our husbands are our choice, and one
with US. Our sons are what see make them


We are content that they represent us in the corn
held, the battle field, and at the ballotbox, and we
them IN the sehool.room at the fresde, and at the
CRADLE believing our representation even at the bal
otbox to be thus more full and impartial than it could
possibly be, were all women allowed to vote.

Benton county, saying that Wash
Campbell, having barn to raise, in
vited a numb Der of neighbors to help
him. For the purpose of supplying
his friends with dinner he killed two
sheep and hung them up while the
men were working on the barn. Two
boys discovered a sleeps head on the
ground when one Of them said, Here
is where the sheep was killed, here is
his head and this is the axe the head
was cut off with. Put your head down
and 1 will chop it Off" The boy did
as directed and just as the axe was
raised Mrs. Campbell saw them and
screamed. This attracted the atten-
tiOn of the men who were lifting a
heavy timber and the falling of the
axe upon the boys neck SO startled
them that several lOOsed their hold of
the timber and it fell, crushing four
men. The boy was also killed by the
axe.

Where the line of battle, wavering, broke.

A correspondent of the New York
Evening Post of last Saturday discredits
the theory of the City of Boston having
taken fire on account of the increased
speed due to the substitution of q two
bladed for threc-bladed screw, and
says;


The probable fate of the City of Bos-
ton has been an encounter with an ice
berg. One will naturally say that the
captain, being careful, would reduce the
speed of his ship when the depression OF
the thermometer would show that there
were icebergs in the neighborhood. Sup
pose, then, that the speed had been re-
duced to ten knots an hour, and let us
see with what force the City of Boston
would strike an iceberg of sufficient mag
nitude to remain practically immovable
when the vessel struck it. The City of
Boston probably weighed 1000 tons,
water in the boilers, say so tons, pas
sengers, baggage, etc., 80 tons; freight,
800 tons; making in all 1900 tons. AT
a speed of ten knots an hour, she would
move seventeen feet in one second, which
would give the vessel a momentum, or
force with which she would strike, of
81, 300 tons, a force sufficient to crush in
her bows for many feet. Besides this, let
one imagine for moment the effect upon
all ponderable bodies partially secured
to the vessel. The vessel suddenly
stopped, boats, masts, furniture, passen.
gers, everything about the vessel, would
virtually be driven ahead at a speed of
seventeen feet second; the boilers
would probably be loosened from their
fastenings, the masts would be broken off,
the boats would be carried away, terror
would prevail, which the shrieks Of
affrighted and wounded passengers would
heighten. The vessel would sink imme-
diately, no boats could be lowered, no
provision be made to save single per
son. Should she have taken fire, there
would have been at least short time to
lower boats and prepare RATS, on which
some would have remained probably
long enough aAoat to have been picked
up by steamers or sailing vessels passing
over the same route.


A long enough time has now elapsed
to have heard from almost any port for
which steamer or sailing vessel on the
route would have sailed, and hope for
the safe arrival of the City of Boston has
almost died out even in the minds of the
most sanguine.

TERRIBLE RAvAGEs OF SMALL Pox AMONG
THE INDIANs.-Commissioner Parker, of the
Indian Bureau, has received letter from
Gen. Alfred Sully, Superintendent of the Mon.
tana Indians, in which he reports that the
ravages made by small pox among the Gros


Vent-es and Assiniboin tribes have been sc


great as to almost exceed belief. By Gen
Sullys letter it appears that since last Sep
tember to the first of February, when the
small pox broke out among the Gros Ventres
there have been 741 deaths, which leaves only
about twelve hundred of this nation alive
What makes this calamity still more to be de-
plored is, that, of all the Indians in Montana
the most friendly toward the whites and among


the Indians most disposed to accept civiliza


tion are the Gros Ventres, and they have suf
fered terribly. At one time the deaths at the
agency were SO rapid that the few men there


could not dig graves fast enough They had te

further appears that when the disease was al
