Lead City Tribune: The number of Republicans asking for a place on the state delegation and promising to go to Yankton if appointed was greater than ever before. There was some difference of opinion, and up to a short time before the con vention met, the indications were that there would be a trial of strength be tween those who favored a picked dele gation instructed to one end, and those who favored a delegation made up of all factions to go to the state couven tion free to act upon their own judg ment. The difference on this point was, however, easily compromised by placing Kirk G. Phillips of Deadwood, who is a candidate for state treasurer, and Walter McKay of lead City, who is a candidate for renomination for commissioner of labor, on the same footing so far as instructions were con cerned, and with a well known under standing with both of these gentlemen that in case a candidate for congress from Lawrence county shall be agreed upon, both of them are to yield their claims in the interest of such candi dates. It will be seen also by all who familiar with Lawrence county politics that a liberal policy was adop ted in the selection of a delegation to Yankton on the 22nd of August. The delegation is not only made up of every body, but it is for everybody, and so far as our acquaintance with its makeup goes, we believe it is safe to say that every candidate yet mentioned for a place on the state ticket will gel votes from Lawrence. The convention Satur day was made up by a large majority of Republicans who were determined to obliterate all factional lines, and insure harmony in local politics. This result, was, we believe, to a great extent ac complished, and our delegation to the state convention will be more moderate in their demands and more friendly to one another if they are not so united upon candidates. .Mr*.

Moore's paint shop on East First street, and when the department reached the spot it looked as though they had a big job on hand. The building stands in the middle of a frame row and across the street from Wal ler's lumber yard and when the water was turned on the flames had complete possession of the tinder-like structure. One stream in front and one in the rear, playing on either side of the burning building, soon put the adjacent shells out of danger, and it did not take long* for the strong pressure and volume of water to drown out the flames where they raged the fiercest. It was one of the best jobs the firemen of this town ever did and while the pressure and absence of strong wind favored them they deserve the fullest measure* of credit for their work. The fire evi dently resulted from spontaneous com bustion, and the loss is in the neighbor hood of $000 oi' $700 on building and stock of paints and oils. Latest Weatlier-Crop Bulletin. HURON, S. D.,July 10.—The temper ature during the week was about the average, while the amount of rainfall was considerably below the average, except in the Black Hills region. The days were unusually warm, as a rule, and the nights unusually cool. The warm sunshiny days were fav orable to corn and the cool nights to small grain. Considerable small grain is in the "milk". The conditions were very favorable altogether over the Black Hills country, but elsewhere, exceptin a few localities, all crops, including grass, need rain, in some localities very badly. A number of' reports indicate that some wheat, oats and barley is ripening and the harvesting of these crops in the southern portion of the state will begin this week. The rains of last week and the week preceding appear to have improved the condition of small grain where the drouth had not before affected it too seriously, and in a number of cases, although the stem and heads are short, the quality of the grain will be good, but the crop light. Corn, potatoes, late flax and millet are reported as looking well in most counties. Haying is in progress in the western portion of the state, and elsewhere on the lowlands. The Heal Demon of the Marnh Is not a spook, but a reality. It is neither a "bogie" nor a "kelpie," nor any other of those spirits which the credulous have supposed to 1 haunt the banks of rivers and streams after dusk.

The miasmatic miBts of early morning, the vapors exhaled at even tide may be safely breathed by those protected by the Bitters. In the tropics where every form of malarial disease threatens the sojourner, and is particularly virulent when developed, the Bitters is the best reliance of the inhabitant. For dyspepsia, liver com plaint, lack of vigor, appetite and sleep: for rheumatism and nervousness the Bitters are a sure and safe remedy. The Wheat Crop. Mr. J. D. Wood returned today from Madison by the way of Sioux Palls, where he attended the annuai meeting of the State Millers' association. He does not bring home a very encourag ing report of the wheat crop propects in the state at large, Brown county alone making much of a showing. Good Eeature Of Hood's Sarsaparilla is, that while it purifies the blood and sends it coursing through the veins full of richness and health, it also impaj ts new life and vig or to every function of the body.

NEIGHBORHOOD NEWS. LAWLESSNESS AT HOME. LATE STRIKE NOTES. A Dauiuable Outrage Perpetrated on a Valuable Horse. About 10 o'clock Wednesday night as young Leonard Hooker was crossing the bridge with his horse and buggy, on his return from the south siue, two men stepped out into the roadway and ordered him to stop and get out Leon ard demurred but one of the thugs pull ed a revolver and fired a shot in the air to enforce his commands, and the boy climbed out of the buggy and hurried up town. He tried to enlist the night watch and sheriff in the case, but the former said the parties had evidently got outside his jurisdiction while the lat ter could not be got out, it is said. In about an hour'B time a small party started south after the highwaymen, who were supposed to have gone that way but after an extended search returned emptvhanded. This morning, however, after the eastbound Milwaukee freight had reached Alexandria the conductor wired back that a horse and buggy stood in a gully adjoining the Milwau kee tract about a half a mile east of this town. Hooker went to the place at once, near the slaughter house, and found his rig there but in a badly de moralized condition. The horse show ed signs of having been whipped and hard driven, and was bleeding at the nose from two wounds from a 38-caliber revolver in the face. The harness was cut and slashed as if with a knife and the buggy showed signs of rough usage. The rig was brought to town and one of the bullets was extracted from just above the horse's nose, while the other could not be located, having gone in higher up on the face. The shots were evidently fired at close range as the hair was scorched and were evidently actu ated by the most devilish spirit. The case ought to be thoroughly investi gated, but so much time has been allowed to elapse by the authorities that there is little hope of capturing the perpetrators of the outrage. A later theory is that some persons took the horse out of spite, drove it recklessly across the prarrie and down into the gully where the rig was found. The horse evidently fell and the harness was cut in trying to get it up, but why it was shot, unless out of pure malice, is hard to understand. The animal is owned by Walter Hooker. Leonard Hooker and Jim Duncan have been out all day after the miscreants, while two tramps who stopped on the fair grounds this morning have been under suspicion but no move has been made to arrest them. A Neighborhood How. Justice Abbey at 4 p. m. took up the case of Tony Urban against John Schmidt, neighbors in Beulah town ship. It seems there has been trouble between the two men growing out of the damages suffered by Urban from the prairie fire last spring set by Schmidt's boy, and one of the results is a badly cut up harness, which Urban claims was destroyed for him by Schmidt. More Valuable Doga PoUoued. The valuable Chesapeake Bay dog belonging to City Auditor Stearns, and one of its pups, died last evening from the effects of poison, and Frank Wil liams has just lost his fine greyhound by the same means. Dog owners should contrive to ferret out this assassin of canines. Crop Condition!* BUewhere. Two farmers with their effects, pass ed through town today from Boyed county, Nebraska, to Fargo, North Dakota. They say that the farmers in South Dakota as far as they have traveled, are in much better shape than those in the section they have just left, where there will be absolutely nothing harvested. The hot winds of the past two days, however, have probably out the finish ing touches on the crops "of this section. In Illinois the temperature has been below normal throughout the state. Rain occurred in some southern count ies, while in others there was entire absence of precipitation. Conditions are unusually favorable for harvesting. Corn is generally reported in fine con dition. The wheat harvest is progress ing favoraqly. Rye is nearly cut, with a light yield. Oats cu ting is nearing completion yield light but grain good. In Iowa the drought has resumed sway with increased intensity. The worst effects are in pastures and potato field. Corn is not materially damaged. The barley and oats harvest is in pro gress. In some northern counties the yield will be nearly the average: in the bulk it will not exceed half a crop. Tame hay is harvested with less than half a crop. "There is a salve for every wound."

Dealers in New Goods. CHICAGO, July 11.—Aside from a few instances theru is absolutely no re sponse to Master Workman Sovereign's call for a general strike of Knights of Labor. Reports from different cities, as a rule, indicate that there will be no strike while in others the knights say that if after debate in the lodge it is decided advisable they will go out. It is not thought, however, that there will be a general response to the order for strikes. SACRAMENTO, Cal.. July 11.—Sam uel B. Clark, engineer, privates Byrne, Lubberding and Clark, were killed in the derailment of a train two and one half miles from the city this afternoon. Examination of the bridge reveals the fact that one stringer had been cut off and a small piece of wood substituted in such a way that it would fall through as soon as a heavy weight passed over the rail. There is talk among the strikers of impeaching President Cleveland and Attorney-general Olney. Congressmen most identified with the labor interests have received no requests toward im peachment. Should requests be made they would advise against any such action, on the ground that it will be futile with the house, senate and judi ciary committees strongly favorable to support the president and his cabinet advisers. HAMMOND, Tnd., July ll.—A report from Whiting states that two United States deputy marshals were killed late this evening and a number wounded. WASHINGTON, July 11.—At a full meeting of the commerce committee it was voted to report a resolution for in vestigation of the strike to the house at once. The Pullman people met with Mayor Hopkins of Chicago, and Mayor Pin gree of Detroit last night, the confer ence resulting as follows: "There was a protracted frendly dis cussion of the matter, during which the officers of the Pullman company set out fully thiir reasons for believing the question at issue—which is simply one of reopening the works and carrying them on at a ruinous loss—is not a pro per subject for arbitration."
