Don't Forget the Place: One Door South of tbe Post Office. Brother Shannon of the Huronite has

been sizing up the situation down in Washington and trying to elect Huron's particular friend, Bill Springer, to the speakership.

' Now comes the rumor from New York sources that Mr. Cleveland may be forced to retire from the political arena by reason of the ill-health of his wife, dating from the birth of her child; : ;;.

Crisp says he is for tariff reform, whatever that may mean. Mills was for a straight free trade fight next year and had the courage of his convictions; hence he was not in it with that ele­ment of Democracy which favors a poli cy calculated to "catch decoon gwine or comin'!"

sacrifice. This happens every little while, yet any attempt to keep this ex­plosive stuff out of his reach is sneered at as fanaticism and an interference with "personal liberty." Yet where is the vital difference? This is put purely as a moral question: there's no politics in it.

The serious illness of Secretary Fos­ter threatens to add another to the vic­tims, not of the hard work connected with the treasury portfolio but, of the uuhealthful condition and surroundings of the clammy tomb known as the treas­ury building.

C'-S Isn't it a striking commentary on the independence of northern Democrats when we contemplate the fact that of the six speakership candidates but one. Springer of Illinois, is a northern man and he could not hold the votes of his own state delegation. Tammany and the solid south form a combination which the average northern Bourbon cannot very well despise or affront.

The Ne w Y o>'k Sun may not be a Democratic paper, if we can believe such eminent authority as the esteemed but recently converted Argus-Leader, but it had more to do with electing Flower governor of New York and with defeating Mills for speaker than all the other agencies combined. And it will have a vast deal to do toward shaping events in the next Democratic national convention. Of course the Sun love; Grover Cleveland.

Speaking of beet sugar the Sioux Falls Press says:

Mr. Oxnard says there will be 1,000 beet sugar factories in this country in 1900. At the rate they are being called for, the estimate is too small. If Sioux Falls doesn't hustle she will be in the soup. Aberdeen has drawn blood on one, Mitchell is after another—and what is the Queen city doing?

f;" In another place we reprint «iih pleasure what the Wessington Springs True Republican has to say of itself up­on entering its fifth year, and the open­ing remark of its editor tells the secret of its success and its neat typographical appearance. It ''carrieSj no dead ad­vertisements." Editor Blosser is to be congratulated, yet his success and standing are due to no exceptional causes but to the fact that he does busi­ness on the right basis.

It is given out from sources pretty close to the throne that Judge Edger-ton's place on the state board of regents is to be filled by a Brown county man. If this means that the affairs of the state are to be no longer disgraced by the participation therein of a red-mouthed agitator, Governor Mellette is certainly entitled to the thanks of the entire community. Brown county is entitled to respectable representation.

Madison Leader: Republican editors of South Dakota are soon to meet in Mitchell to plan for the coming cam­paign and do a little talking in their own interests.

So far as we are adyised, the above statement which is going the rounds is not warranted by the facts. There has been no such meeting of Republican editors in Mitchell, and there will be none unless the chairman of the organ­ization which met in Huron last sum­mer sees fit to call one. And, by the

y, it might not be a bad idea for Chairman Adams to do that vol y thing, say some time in January.

The election of Crisp to the speaker­ship, if we may believe the statements of the Washington correspondents, means that Tammany has won its first victory of national significance. This view is carried out by the fact that the position of doorkeeper of the house, which controls more patronage than any other position in connection with con-gress,has been given to"IcemanTurner," who was a New York congressman for one'term and who represents Tammany in everything that is disreputable in its methods. Verily, the stars in their courses are fighting for Republican success next year. x

MUST HAVE SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS.

Minister £gan Refuses a Bequest of the Chilian Government*

SANTIAGO. Dec. 9.—A communication was sent to Minister Egan Saturday by the president of the chamber of depu­ties requesting permission to serve cita­tions on the refugees now in the Ameri­can legation, against whom indictments have lately been, found by congress. Mr. Egan wrote to Foreign Minister Matta asking him by what authority the jJresi-dent of the ohamber of deputies sent such a communication to him. He said he did not, recognize the right of the president to communicate with him ex­cept through the foreign office. Senor Matta apologized, but made a similar request, to which Mr. Egan replied that the request was not admissable, unless he received specific instructions from the United States government, as the refu-

•7?ere in the legation under extra­territorial right. A large number of arms are missing from the barracks here, and it is feared that some con­spiracy is on foot.

Secured the Wrong Corpse*

MACON, Ga., Dec. 9.—Mrs. Faris, a lady hailing from Wisconsin, has just left for home with the body of her son, S. H. McKiney, a telegraph operator who was accidently killed at Baxley, Ga., a year ago by falling from a train. The remains were interred there, but on Thursday last Mrs. Faris came to take the body to Wisconsin. It was consid­erably decomposed, but was disinterred and placed in a handsome burial casket, the mother cutting a lock of hair ofE her boy's head. Sunday morning she started north with the body, but on reaching this city was stopped by a telegram an­nouncing that the wrong body had been disinterred. The sorrowing lady, much shocked,-returnedto Baxley and secured the corpse and is now returning home with it. • ,;V

To Sncce. dlicrp Flascli.' "

MILWAUKEE, DUO. 9.—It is reported upon what seems to be unquestionable authority that the Rev. J. H. Oechter-ing, rector of St. Mary's Catholic church, of Fort Wayne, Ind., has been selected bishop of the diocese of La Crosse, Wis., to succeed the late Bishop Flasch. It is said that Father Oechter-ing was the chosen candidate of the council of bishops of the Milwaukee province, and that his election has been ratified by the authorities at Rome. The Rev. Oechtering is a pulpit orator of great ability, a fine linguist and consid­ered one of the most highly educated priests of the Fort Wayne diocese. „

The Bomb Thrower's Identity. 41

NEW YORK, Dec. 9. —Four persons have expressed the opinion that the head of the dead bomb thrower, who perished in his attempt to blow up Millionaire Russell Sage, is that of "Professor Den­ton," a mysterious crank who has long been known in Brooklyn and this city. The identification is not complete, but the gentlemen named knew Denton, and are positive that the bomb thrower's features strongly resemble his. The

x, u V* r i #

dead head at the morgue was opened and the brains were weighed and the 6kull was taken away to avoid suspected contemplated theft.

Mnat Fay Maybrick'a Insurance.

LONDON, Dec. 9.—The judges of the court of appeals have. held that the Mutual Reserve Fund Life association was liable for the payment of a $10,000 life insurance policy effected by the late James Maybrick, in favor of his wife,an American lady, (now in prison under a life sentence, after having been found guilty of causing his death by adminis­tering poison to him) "provided the wife does not benefit by the payment." This decision has been awaited with great interest by insurance companies throughout the world, and it establishes a precedent in law affecting life insur­ance.

Shot to Death in Jail*

COLUMBIA, S. C., Dec. 9.—Dick Lundy, was shot to death in Edgefield county by a mob for the murder of James Ouzts, son of the sheriff of the county. The murder occurred last Saturday night. Lynching was expected all day and an immense crowd gathered in town. The governor was notified of the fact and called out the Edgefield rifles. The lynching occurred, however, before the orders reached the place. The governor has offered a reward for the apprehension of the chief of the leaders and $250 for the accessories.

To Settle With Settlers.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. e. —Senator Pettigrew says that it will require an additional appropriation of about $200 to complete the investigation of losses to settlers on the Crow Creek and Win­nebago Indian reservations. The delay in securing an adjustment of these claims has been a great inconvenience to many people and Senator Pettigrew and others in congress who are familiar with the subject will make a special effort to have the losses paid. The number of settlers who have claims against the government on that account is about 100, and the aggregate amount is about $300,000.

Denny Hannafin's Hard Luck.

ST. PAUL, Dec. 9.—Dennis Hannafin, of Bismarck, N. D., well known all over the Northwest, fell on the sidewalk in front of McVeigh's restaurant on Third street at 9 o'clock p. in. and sustained a severe fracture of the right leg at the knee. He was taken to the city hospital and cared for by Dr. Cogswell.

1 Denies Rumor. of Revolution f.

PANAMA, Dec. 9.—Acting President Holquin has sent word that Nunez has gained a victory in every department of the republic save two, and denying the rumors of revolution in the interior of the republic.

: Disapproves French Bishops,

PARIS, Dec. 9.—The pope has antici­pated France's warning and instructed the papal nuncio in Paris to disavow the present action of. the French bishops in the affair of the archbishop of Aix.

DEPUTY MARSHAL ARRESTED.

Frank M. Canton Charged -with Murder­ing a Wyoming Rustler.

CHEYENNE, Wy., Dec. 9.—Deputy United States Marshal Frank M. Canton has been arrested at Buffalo, charged with the murder of John A. Tisdale, one of the rustlers assassinated last week. The complaint is sworn to by Allison, the brother of the dead man. Allison dropped the family name when he left Texas. This arrest is very surprising to the general run of people here, as Can­ton was never regarded as a man of the highbinder stamp. He has a fine record as a sheriff and deputy marshal. There will be a preliminary hearing. Allison has given the names of fifteen wit­nesses. George Bash,a ranch hand, saw a mounted man leading Tisdale's team from the road. At the time of the kill­ing, Bash was three miles away but said the horse looked much like Can­ton's favorite saddler. Two more

rustlers have applied to Sheriff Angus for protection. They show brief un­signed "warnings." In the notes they are charged with "rustling" and or­dered to leave the country. It is com-, mon talk all through the North that the rustlers will kill Fred Hess and Billy Irvine, range managers for two big companies. Irvine is here and says he will go back to the ranch when ready. Friends are trying to dissuade him from going to certain death. •

Three Killed.

BALTIMORE, Dec. 8.—About midnight, while workmen were making gome re­pairs to a furnace at the Sparrow Point steel works a terrific explosion of gas occurred which resulted in the-giving way of the lower part of the furnace, fatally injuring three men and more or less seriously wounding several others. The damage to machinery and stock was slight and will be repaired in a few
