of the Republican Congressional Cam

make several speeches during his visit to
the extreme West, especially in Califor~

receipt of letters from that State, asking
him to make speeches during his visit.
He had first determined not to have any,
thing to say but what is usual in reply
to speeches OF welcome. He was, how
ever, anxious to do everything in his
power to secure the election of the Re-
publican ticket, as were all the members
of his Cabinet. As it was thought that
a word or so from him would do good,
he had no hesitancy in saying that he

1879 it had increased to 1898 and round.

The st. Paul & Sioux City Railroad Prepar-
ing to Rush Things in the Southwest.
The folloming from the Sioux City Journal
of Wednesday shows that the st. Paul & Sioux
CITY railroad company are making extensive
preparations for their extensions in that sec
ton.
Mitchell Vincent, the contractor for most of
the railroad building done by the st. Paul
company last season, passed through town yes
tcrday to Sioux Falls, to set steam drills work
ing on the rock to be taken out of the fume of
the new mill. He said that the two transfer
boats bought of the Burlington & Missouri
road would be here some time i'll May. As the
railroad bridge at Plattsmouth, where the boats
are now run, will not be finished till August it
is possible there may be some delay.
From a semi-OfIcial source comes the infOr-
nation that the engineers of the st. Paul COM
pany will begin running line to connect with
the Omaha road next week. The first line sur
veyed leaves the present narrow guage road at
Dakota City and thence up the Omaha creek.
The st. Paul extension west from Sioux
Falls, still continues to accumulate material at
that town. Iron for about twenty-thrce miles
of road is already stored there and ties in pro-
portion. The line has permanently located

IMICLED UP COUPLE.


Tender Caresses Of a Brute of Il Husband
.Eherc vas an air of dismal uncertainty st the
police co1-t yesterday morning which was
quite as contagious as the bleak March weather
and almost infected the beholder with that
horrid condition Of the mind known as the
blues. The pent-up quarters of the court
room superinduced murky and more I'M
wholesome atmosphere than it ordinarily OBJ
taius. and the surroundings were more oppres-
sive than ever. At Q O'clock the good-humored
clerk threw away the remnant of cigarette,
the august and worthy judge mounted the tri-
bunai and the balhiiS took their POSITIONS,
ready for business.
1t would be hard to ina g inc two more utterly
abiect and wretched specimens of humanity
than Margaret and Conrad Schultz, They ap-
peared as old offenders aul might De called

ants were blear-eyed and sod'en frcna the eff
fects of rum and their features indicated that
any goodness which they might have nrig inally
laid claim to had been crushed out by the
most vicious and soul-kiilins debauchery.
The womau's face, mangled and blood
stained, from the effects of the man S brutality,
presented picture OF the utmost misery. The
couple had been arrested night before last by
Officer Lowell, from rickety shanty On Cedar
street. They were in the midst of a drunken
fight when the officer made his appearance, and
the savage aspect of both parties indicated that
the arrival of the former was most timely. As,
before indicated, they were old offenders, and
wife beating has been the brute's amusement.
He, the brute, was sent to the penitentiary for
two years Tor breaking the woman's arm, while
INDUCING his sullzy pastime. The court thought
that they were both bad eggs, and he gave them
the utmost penalty of the law. The man Was
committed for sixty days, and the woman was

The Reuter- Assau,t.

The case of the State against Matthias Reuter-,
charged with committing an assault on Adam
Bohland with a dangerous weapon, was called
for hearing in the municipal court at o'clock
yesterday afternoon. The assault took place
last Tuesday morning in Reserve township,
and occurred while Mr.. Bohland was on his
way to this city to attend the March meeting
of the board of county commissioners.
The latter was driving by Reuters louise
when the latter is alleged to have ran out and
called him dog poisoner saying at the same
time that he would ''6x him" for killing his,
Reuters, dog.
Reuter- approached the wagon, having in his
hand q pitchtork, and, during = scufle that
ensued, MIR. Bohland received a wound in the
arm, having been stabbed by the hay fork.
The wagon was also overturned, from the fall
ing of which Reuter- sustained slight injuries
A number of witnesses were sworn, and the
testimony was of such conflicting character
as to result in the defendants discharge.

Wabashaw street is looming up as a business
center. The enterprise Of Mr.. Sherman, OF
Chicago, in building last season corner OF
Wabashaw and Seventh streets a block of five
stores, three stories in height, was thought by
MANY to be in advance of the needs of the city.
But the results show that Mr.. Sherman acted
wisely. Already four of the stores are rented
and about half the offices on the second floor,
while Mr.. Lewis, who has charge of the prop
erty. is confident from the inquiries he is re-
ceiying, that all the two lower floors Will be
rented during the present month.

stores. Moeller l. StaLlmau, tobacco and cigar
dealers and manufacturers have the south end
