Particulars OF the Unplcasantness Witch
Recently Occurred to Moses McGirk.
Springfield Times,
Last week Tuesday, Moses McGirk was
arrested on the Yankton reservation and
brought to Springfield for horse stealing.
He stole a span of horses from Ncls Mel
son. a farmer living about eight miles west
of Springfield. He is the same party that
broke Jail at Yankton a short time since.
Tuesday night Sheriff Benedict took his
yer, started for Bon Homme to lodge. him
in Jail. When they were about crossing
Cooper creek bridge, a party of masked men
sprang up from among the weeds by the
road side, seized the horses and quickly de.
tached the lines, ordered the driver to re.
main at their heads. Sheriff Benedict was
also seized and securely bound and gagged,
while two or three of the party seized the
prisoner and takiag him from the wagon
tied his hands and legs and put. rope
about his neck. The rope was then made
fast TO the stripgers of the bridge, which is
about ten feet above ground. and a demand
made of the prisoner to confess and tell.all
he knew OF any horse stealing operations.
The situation was anything but pleasant
for McGirk, we should Judge, and we are
Informed by the sheriff, who was tied and
lay on the ground near the scene of opera.
ations, that he was handled without gloves,
and that some of the party were bound to
hang him, even after he had confessed and
revealed the name OF his associate horse
thieves.
The party of disguised men were from up
country, where several horses have been re.
Gently stolen. The only thing that probs-
bly, saved McGirk's life was his full cor
fession and revelation as to his band of as
s%ociates, whom, if any of them should be
caught in these parts, will be very likely to
get tried by judge Lynch in summary man
ner.

The Ve1million Republican, edited by a
a supposed democrat and for the time be.
ing intimate personal friend of Judge Kid.
der, devotes a large portion of its issue OF
this week to an effort to further sustain the
wholly baseless charge of an irregularity in
the last ballot of the republican convention
whereby Judge Kidder was deprived of the
nomination. Upon this point we have had
our soy and do not care to occupy further
space in the discussion Of q dead issue. To
the editor Of the Republican we will state
that the tally sheets of the secretary and
tellers are in the possession of the secretary
and if he desires to scrutlnize them he can
do so and can thereby become satisfied that
his figures and his reasoning are the falla.

defeat Of Judge Kidder In the convention,

The Deadwood Enterprise. a democratic
daily published in the Hills, has sufficient
ssgacity to comprehend the effect of the
nomination of Judge Bennett. 1t says:
In reaching their conclusion, as We can
readily perceive, the convention was actu-
ated by three considerations which the dem.
c!racy should frankly admit, and invariably
heed if they hope for success at the polls 10
November. To-wit:-personal strength Of
the candidate; one whose nomination would
concllate this portion of the territory; and
q desire to rebuke malignant persecution.
Five candidates were presented: Kidder,
Bennett, Moody, Dewey and Tyler, in none
of whom were the requisite elements 80
complete as In the person of him who final.
ly became victorious. 1t would be as alb.
surd as dangerous to the democratic party,
deny that Judge Bennett is the strongest
man in the field. Not only will he poll a
large republican vote in eastern Dakota,
may rely upon like support in the Hills,
q realization that nc eastern man could at
tain. In addition to his popularity, we must
recognize in him a political tactician of
more than ordinary ability, and an unceas-
ing worker.

A Bismarck Tribune extra, announcing
the result of the republican convention has
reached US. 1t is composed of a telegram
from Yankton, the closing paragraph of
which states that "Lounsberry would have
been nominated instead of Bennett had he
permitted the use of his name, and on the
ninth ballot" This telegram was sent by
Lounsberry himselfand is signed &c. A. L."
Comment is hardly necessary. 1t will be
remembered that L~ounsberry's name was
presented on the ninth ballot by the FUNNY
man of the convention, Miller of Stutsmap
county, and was looked upon as his final
joke. Miller cast his two votes for Louns-
berry and then changed them to Bennett,
and this was the narrow escape from becom-
ing a congressman which happened to our
editorial friend. He came with.
IN sixty eight votes Of the nomination and
not another man in the convention would
have cast a ballot for him.

During the prevailing political excitement
the public is liable to lose sight of the fact
that our territorial fair is near at hand.
The dates fixed upon for that gathering are
September 10th, 11th, 18th and 18th and
the place Vermillion. The officers of the
agricultural society have made every prep.
aration for a successful fair and it now re.
mains for the people to second their efforts.
A liberal premium list has been issued en-
IN the territory. Our farmers, s9955sunyy with
ers and manufacturers should give to ex-
hibition the attention it deserves and make
the fair OF 1878 a success in all its features.

southern claims.
Cincinnati Commercial.

Cincinnati Commercial.
The vitality of claim against the gov
ernment is greater than that of cat,
which is said to have nine lives. Take
the cheeky claim of the Methodist Episco-
pal Church South for the use of their
publishing house in Nashville by the ar
my during the war. The first claim was
for $4ss 400. 1t was rejected by the 43d
and 44th Congress Now the agents of
the claim are willing to take Szes 600 and
the claims committee of this Congress 49,
cut 1t down to $3.50, 900, and reported IA
vorably on it. As we have said repeat
edly, the Methodist Church South was, as
a body, disloyal to the government, and
was powerful agency in promoting and
sustaining the rebellion.
Its Nashville organ was as hot and fu-
rious in urging the war as the Richmond
Enquirer or the Mobile Register. It did a
large share of the official printing for the
Confederate army, and was paid for it
out of the Confederate treasury. 1t is
said that some of the machinery of the
publishing house was used in the manu-
facture of arms and supplies for the Con-
federate service. It was a mischievous
and persistent agent of political organ
ization at war with the government Of the
| United States. If the claim is allowed
there is not a claim now in the pockets OF
any ex-Confederate from Virginia to Tex
as that cannot be put in with reasonable
hopes of recognition and allowance.

In Congress during the consideration
of a certain measure, Representative
Thompson had occasion to give the fol-
lowing coal oil statistics:
Last season 5000, 900 barrels of oil,
produced in Pennsylvania, had been ship
ped to the seaboard. The established
rate of transportation was $3.50 per bar
rel, which should have given to the rail-
road companies SO, 500, 900. Instead of
that the railroad companies actually re-
ceived only S., 900, 900, the other So, ,5O0,-
000 having been diverted from the stock
holders and from shippers into the pock-
cts of unscrupulous rings. The bill pro-
posed to abolish that system notwith-
standing the magnitude of the coal inter-
est. He said: Fifteen years ago it was
an article unknown to commerce, but now
it stood second on the list of exports, cot
ton being first. It brought back more
gold to this country than all the wheat,
or flour, or bacon, or lard, or lumber or
tobacco, or any other commodity export

A Rey with Three Eyes.

Quite wonder has lately made its ap-
pearance, about eight miles north of New
Bremen. in the shape of fine boy with
three eyes and but one ear. The parents
are young married couple who came
here to reside from the eastern portion of
Auglaize county, about ten months ago,
and have been married little more than
that period. The child is about two weeks
old. The parents were astounded to find
on the right side of the face an eye and
an ear in their proper natural positions,
and on the left side of the face another
eye in its natural position, and about an
inch further round on the left side of the
head third, all perfect in form, but no.
ear where the ear ought to be, the place
for the left ear being perfectly smooth
and solid as any other part of the head.
The boy is healthy, sound and bright as
a boy baby can be. The eyes are perfect
in sight and action. When the eye on the
side of the face opens or shuts it's twin
does the same, both seeming to be con-
trOlled and operated by the one set of
nerves.

Signs.

When you see half dozen boys hid
ing behind box in an alley, it is sign
that they are nice, good lads, who want
to do right and become Governors of

When you see the half dozen joined by
a seventh, who has a quart of canned
blackberries in his hand, it is sign that
he has been down cellar taking an inven-

When you see the seven boys dipping
into the can with pine paddles, it is a sign
that preserves agree with the human sys-

When you see a small boy leaning up
against the back of kitchen, tears in his
eyes, ruf1ed look to his clothing, and a

it is sign that his mother missed the

TEMPERANCE COLUMN.
by Ladies of Washington Temper
anee Union.I


The following, from the Ne,5ark Daily
has some wholesome truths
which it would be well for all classes of
citizens to ponder:
1t don't pay to have fifty workingmen
poor and ragged in order to have one |
saIoon-keeper dressed in broadcloth, and |
flush of money.
IT don't pay to have these fifty work |
inemen live on bone soup and half ra-
tions, in order that the salOon-keeper may
flourish on roast turkey and champagne.
1t don't pay to have the mothers and
children of twenty families dressed in
rags and starved into the semblanee of
emaciated scarecrows and living in novels
in order that the saloon-keeper's wife may
dress in satin, andher children grow fat
and hearty, and live in a bay-window
parlor.
1t don't pay to have one citizen In the
county jail because another citizen sold
him liquor.
It don't pay to have ten smart, active
and intelligent boys transformed into
hoodlums and thieves, to enable one man
to lead an easy life by selling them
liquor.
1t don't pay to give one man, for $15 a
quarter, license to sell liquor, and then
spend $40 900 on the trial of Tim Nc
Laughlin for buying that liquor and then
committing murder under its influence.
1t don't to pay to have one thousand
homes blasted, ruined, defled and turned
into hells of disorder and misery in order
that one wholesale liquor dealer may
amass large fortune.
1t don't pay to keep six thousand men
In the penitentiaries and hospitals, and
one thousand in the lunatic asylum at the
expense of the honest, industrious tax
payers, in order that few rich capital
may grow richer by the manufacture OF
whiskey.
1t never pays to do wrong; your sin
will find you out; whether others find II
out or not, the sin knows where you are
and will always keep you posted of the
fact--it don't pay.
A saloOn-keeper sold a drinking mar
one pint of new rum, making fifteen cents
clear profit. The man under the influence
of that pint of rum killed his son-in-law
and his apprehension, confinement in Jail
execution, ETC., cost the county more thar
one thousand dollars-which temperate
men had to earn by the sweat of thei
brows. 1t don't pay.
The loss sustained by society, mOrall,
and financially, the sorrow and suffering
T the misery and destitution produced ant
augmented, and what is infinitely great
er consideration than all else, the destruC
ton of soul and body, the inevitable re
suit of using or traff1c1ing in Intoxicating
liquors-these all attest the truthfulnes
of the verdict-it don't pay.

Pleasant Reading for smokers.

Says the Church Union: Smokers are
exposed to new peril. Not only does
the weed itself poison the blood, but the
saliva left on the cigar when made may
communicate the dreadful disease result
ing from an immoral life. We have just
read of a young girl, a manufacturer of
cigars, who, with chancre upon her lip,
moistened with saliva the tips of all the
cigars she made for period of three days.
This is well-authenticated case, and it
is impossible to say how many more there
are like it, which are constantly spread
ing the dreadful poison to unsuspeeting
pleasure seekers. The disgusting prac-
tice among tobacco strippers of moisten-
ing the leaf with spray from the mouth,
is doubtless an occasional, if not a COM
mon cause of infection. Tobacco like in
toxicating drinks, biteth like serpent,
and stingeth like an adder.

what me ePnonosraph Can Realny Do

Boston Correspondence Worcester Spy
But all other curiosities and marYels
are commonplace compared with the
phonograph. There is one now on exhi-
bition at Horticultural Hall. Wonderful
as it is, it is far more interesting to hear
about it than to hear the thing itself, for
its voice is intensely disagreeable. The
exhibitor shouts into the instrument, as
if it were very deaf, and when he turns
the crank the phOnOgraph repeats his
words in distressingly asthmatic tones,
and not at all clearly. It also repeated
tune played on a cornet, but there was
no music in the repetition, and the quail
ty of the sound was poor. Probably the
instrument will be improved, and posi-
bly, its voice may be made pleasant, but it
is an unpleasant curiosity, and the time
seems far distant when it can be used as
a reader or singer in private houses, or
even to record the pronunciation of In
dian languages and dialects which are dy-
| ing out, and which students of languages
would like to have accurately recorded
for future use. To be useful for such pur-
poses the phonograph must be made to
hear better; the voice in which it is ad-
dressed is now unnatural, and its repeti-
ton is more unnatural still, reminding
one of the speech of the deaf and dumb.

From the WelI-knOyVn Maker OF
YaIe's Mammoth Tent.

GENTLEMEN,-I have suffered ten years from the
worst forms Of Acute Catarrh or Cold in the Head,
that ever afflicted mortal man. Whenever l took
fresh cold it would settle in my head, causing the
most violent sneezing, accompanied by excessive
discharges from my eyes and nose. For days and
days my suffering would be intense, and finally
settling in my loins and bowels, would render my
life BILE for month. Never. during all my
sufferings, was I able to obtain temporary
lief from any medicine l ever tried. Three weeks
ago, while suffering from the worst attack 1 ever
had, / procured a bottle Of SANFORD's RADICAL
CURE FOR CATARRH. The relief from the first dose
was so gratifying that would willingly have Civ
100000 to obtain it. A few bottles completely
cured me. Ny head has since been free from
mucus accommodations, my breathing easy, and not
a symptom of trouble about my back and bowels
has presented itself its effect in my has been
truly remarkable. Very respectfully,
