SLAUGHTERING BUFFALO IN
TEXAS.

The town of Griffin is supported by
buffalo hunters, and is their general
rendezvous in this section. The mum.
ber of hunters ON the ranges this sea
son is estimated at 1900. We saw at
Griffin plat of ground of about four
acres covered with buffalo hides
spread out to dry, besides a large
quantity piled up tor shipment. These
hides are worth in this place from one
dollar to one dollar and sixty cents
each. The generally accepted idea of
the exciting chase in buffalo huntin g
is not the plan pursued by the men
who make it regular business. They
use the needle gun with telescope, buy
the powder by the keg, their lead in
bulk and the shells, and make their
own cartridges, The guns in a party

the soul had quit the body, leaving the
animal life In it. He said that this
was the frat part of the cure about to
be performed. He wanted il distinct
ly understood that he had no power
in the performance of this work ex-
cept that which he received from on
high, through the name and by the
power of Jesus Christ.
The people in the room were next
directed to make q passage from the
door of the room to the bed, and those
who were outside the doors and be-
low stairs were directed 10 enter the
room, pass around the bed, and then
60 out by another door. 1t is estima-
ted that over seven thousand people
saw the soulless co body of the wo-
man. There was, of course the most
intense excitement among the people
during the whole of this period.
At twenty five minutes past nine,
five minutes before the expiration of
the hour, silence was commanded, and
Father Heinen said:
Nov, will call her,
amelia r he then called in q loud
voice. There was, however, no change
in the countenance of the woman.
Amelia! he repeated, and. as before,
she remained motionless.
'Amelia!' in louder voice, cried
Father Heinen.
'Fatherp responded Miss Greth,
and then she repeated a few words of
prayer.
The scene in the room was at that
moment indescribable. The excite.
ment was naturally intense, and cries
of joy and weeping were heard on all
sides. Miss Greih then asked for q
shawl, and a lady who stood by the
bedside took of her sealskin coat and
put IL around the woman as she by
the command of the priest arose.
Father Heinen then turned to the
woman aud commanded her to talk
TO no one nor permit any one to talk
10 her until after she had returned her
thanks 10 God for His kindness to her
in the church. She then made her
way to the sacred edifice, walking
alone and quite rapidly, followed by
an excited crowd, comprising hund-
reds of people.
When she arrived at the church
Father Heinen preached two sermons,
one In German and one in English.
The services lasted about two hours.
After the services Miss Greth re.
turned to her room, apparently strong
and hearty. In response to many in
quiries as TO her feelings and emotions
she made the following statement:
Il feel entirely cured. The hemorrh-
ages of blood ceased on Thursday and
since that time l have felt very weak
and sick. / am convinced that nv
lungs were entirely and completely
gone, and that physicians could not
have cured me, nor could 1 have been

A MIDNIGHT VISITOR.


Two nights ago. about that hour
when dead things ct me up from
graves, Mr.. Golden, the engineer at
the C. and c. shaft, had an experience
by no means pleasant. He was on
duty down in that part of the works
where now stands the hugh pumping
engine and also the big air compress
or called Eolus. This room is down
in the basen elt Of the main building,
and is reached by a flight of steps, at
the top of which is a door opening
upon the main floor of the hosting
works.
Mr.. Golden was moving about
among his machinery when he pres
emily became conscious OF blast of
cold air. Looking up, he saw that the
door at the head of the stairs was
partly open. lie ascehded, closed the
door, aud returned to his work.
1t was not long before he felt an.
other cold blast of air. Again he as
cended the stairs and closed and
latched the door. This time he was
sure he Iatched the door, as before he
thought it might have been opened
by the jar of the machinery.
Being sure that the door was fast
ened, he thought no more about it un.
ill he again felt a rush of cold air. Look
ing up, he saw that the door was
again open. This time Mr.. Golden
rushed up the stairs some W hat wrath
fully, and not only closed and latched
the door, but also gave it kick be-
fore turning to leave it.
He had but just begun to look at
his steam.guages and regulate this,
that, and the other little thing about
the great pumping engine, when again
he became conscious of the presence
of the chill blast that had before dis
turbed him. The door was again

ed SO, and, in spite of himself, he be-
gan TO feel an unpleasant sensation
about the roots of his halr-a sort of
stifIening.
Somewhat reluctantly he again left
his work and started to close the door.
He had assembled about half way the
stair when he saw at once peering In
1t the hslf-open door q demon face,
The eyes were widely distended, and |
in them burned an unnatural and
fiendish light which seemed the glare

Now that the county convention has been
called, We hope our republican friends will
60 earnestly to work aud form q o ,ty
ticket of the very best material In the party.
Give us none but men Of integrity and
ability for the legislature, and see to it that
men above reproach are put In nomination
for the various county offices.
Yankton county will give q majority for
Judge Bennett, provided judiclous selec-
lions are made by the republicans for the
legislature and for county offices. We have
. majority in the county, and under favor
able circumstances can poll a majority Of
the votes. but injudicious nominations for
the legislature and for county offices, may
cause US to lose 1t.
We recognize the entire responsibility of
Mr.. Trip. and We are proud Of his talents
and professional cminence, but respectable
as he lie, be is tarred by the democratic
stick he is the candidate of Doctor Myers
and the democratic party. and our rcpubli-
can friends must remember that a vote for
Mr.. Trip Is a vote of endorsement of Doc
tor Myers and the Ehole uuclean crew that
Doctor Myers controls.
The present contest is lot q contest be.
tween men-between g. Il. Bennett and
Bartlett Tripp-it is a contest between great
principles; between the two great parties OF
the country; and the success Of Mr.. Tripp.
in this contest, is the success of tho demo-
cratic party. with all that implies.
Can republicans do it? Can
any good republican vote for the success OF
the democratic party? We think not.
Then give us q good county ticket, in
Yankton county, and we will carry the
county by a handsome majority. Judge
Bennett is the peer of Mr.. Tripp in all that
constitutes true manhood. In private life
he is spotless; professionally and intellect
uslly he is the peer of Mr.. Trip; and as q
christian gentlemen, he Is the equal of any
man and when elected to congress, as he
will be, he will honor himself and the terri
