A pamphlet has just been
issued from the Socialist print

OF the Russian gendarmerie, to
his government of the origin
and Development of Nihilism.
Ii states that the first discov-
cries the authorities made con-
corning the existence of the
propaganda was in 1874, when
several students were arrested
for circulating revolutionary
doctrines among the people,
both by printed documents and
speeches. They were found
disguised as peasants and pro
vided with false passports
which enabled them to travel
from place to place without LET
or hindrance. A judicial in
quiry which followed showed
that the documents were print

had been secretly at work FOL
somo time. The report says
that while the year Of 1874

silence that followed conscience reviewed
the past, and he knew that his sister had

PREACHING In TEXAS.
The Auditors Throw out 1unuendoes.

The Auditors Throw ont Iunuendoes Is 81
Texas preachers are said to bevery ec-
centric, and their mild unaturalnessss
has given to rise a great many femarks
and few stories. The following mar
rative was told us cen6dentially BY
slanderer:
a minister arose before large audi
ence, took his text, and began preaching.
A brisk firing of pistols began on the
church.
'sBrother Deacon" said the minister,
II believe those fellows are casting IN
situations on me. In fact i am very
nearly convinced he continued, as a
piece Of plaster fell from the wall close
to his head.
II think parson, that it refers to some
one else, replied the deacon. Y
The minister raised tumbler OF wa
ter, and was in the act of applying it to
his lips, when the glass tell shattered by
a shot
''This is an innrendo no longer said
the minister, wiping the water from his
vest. 'sThis. Is what l term an unmis-
taxable thrust. The congregation will
please sing while I go out and investigate
this matter. Is there another preacher
in the house2''
:'Yes,' said man, throwing down a
stick which he had been whiting, aris-
ing and pulling at the waist OF his pants
like man who had just Strengthened up
after setting oufa row OF tobacco across

"Yes.''
"Unlimber.'
The whiting preacher handed over
large Remington pistol, which the insult
ed preacher took, and drawing one from
his belt, started out. After going out,
there was an immediate improvement in
the firing business. It twas decidedly more
llfelike, 1nasmueh as the deacons sat
working their fingers. After while the
minister returned, and placing an ear and
the nostril and a half Of a nose on the
pulpit remarked. HE that hath ears to
hear, let him behave himself. The SER
mon then proceeded without any inter
ruption.

crowd were anxious to see Maud S. trot
on yesterday afternoon and that they
feared she wouldn't; for, after two heats
had been trotted in each oftheiy regular
programme races, there was a loud call
for her from the stand; notwithstanding
the fact that the wind was blowing
perfect gale, and the judges had. to put
up with. considerable badinage for her
non-appcarance. After another heat
she came out and was given an easy
warming nile without time, and return
ed to the stable, though there was no
assurance that she would come out
again. 1t was quarter after 6'o'clock,
and both races were finished, when the
announcement was made that she would
be given a strong mile. The planer was
on the track, smoothing it next the pole

at a card party when she suddenly ex-

THE DISTRICT CONTENTION.
The Meeting rs Calm "a summer Day.


[Deadwood Press Sept %.
The district convention met at Evens'
hall at | O'Clock. and was called to order
bv Chairman Marchnan. Y. r. Prentice
was nominated temporary chairman and
named the committees. As no one from
Lead had been placed on that commit
tee, the delegates from that place imme-
diately started to climb for command
ing position on their respective auricles
Marchman tried to make them feel the
necessity of peace, but as the decided
slight, although accidental, was too pal
pable 10 90 down, they were justified in
making fuss They declared now
that any man nominated from Lead
would be unceremoniouslv downcd.
The i'll will all around having become
too pronounced, new committees were
appointed, and the convention took a
recess for half an hour
AFTER THE RECESS
the convention was called to order again
and the usual business was proceeded
with, Prentice being made permanent
chairman. The only interesting feature
being the balloting, it was awaited with
some expectancy and resulted as follows:
DISTRICT ATTORNEY.
For this office Allen and HASTE. were
put in nomination. The tally told that
Hastie had 2S votes and Allen -. Has
tie was then declared the unanimous
choice of the convention. 1t becomes
the painful duty of the Press to remark
that this nomination is all right, and
lIastie can gaze upon the cdifying
spectacle Of this journal backing square
around from the position it took when
it insin'lated that HASTE wouldn't be
the next district attorney. This is the
saddest feature of the occasion.
After this little incident, and the
nominee had shaken hands, the conven-
tion proceeded TO the
COUNCIL
j A. j. Martin of Pennington county
was nominated for the position. AS no
one else rose to sacrifice himself, Mr..
Martin was declared nominated viva
voce. 1t was very tame way Of reach
ing it, but it saved time. After his ac-
ceptance came the dispute between
Ofenbacher and Gaffy for the other
position as councilman. The roll was
called, the vote cast, the tally read, and
Gaffy came out Of it with 80 to 5 for his
opponent. The taking of the ballot
showed the very atiectionate terms OF
"Sour Mash Gaffy," Lemon and Sugar
Gafiy," Straight Gaffy," Cocktail Gaf-
fy," "Three to One Gafy," "Old Gaffy,' y
and kindred appellations. This result
astonished the crowd so that immed.
lately recess Of ten minutes was taken
to ascertain how it happened.
LEGISLATIVE.
After being ont for the time specified
the convention came to again with the
slate all fixed. The members nominal
cd for the legislature were Fred J. Cross,
of Custer, j. A. Harding Porter Warner,
of Deadwood, McBratney, Of Galena,
and j. c. Wilcox, of Sturgis.
Taking it all around, this district and
legislative convention was success and
did well. The Press may say more
subsequently.
