that of drugs. The same effort probably has
never before been made to induce trade in this

duplicate any purchases made In any other

CAPTAIN RAYMOND.

John B. Raymond was born in Lock
port, New York, in 1914. and when a
small boy he accompanied his parents to
Illinois, where he resided until sixteen
years Of age, when he enlisted as pri-
vate in General Logan's famous reg
iment, Thirtyiirst Illinois, and served
with such conspicuous galantry that in
less than two years, he carried q cap
tains commission in his pocket. He
participated in all Of the many active
campaigns with army of the Tennessee,
and resigned at Savannah 1864, refusing
a colonelcy, which was offered in hopes
that he would remain. After the cessa-
ton of hostilties, the captain went
south, locating at Vicksburg, of which
city he soon after became collector. He
also embarked in the newspaper busi-
ness, with the Jackson Pilot, and in 1871
was elected state printer. In 1873. be-
cause Of the illness of his wife, he con
cluded to remove to Dakota; and upon
the recommendation Of Gov. Adelbert
Ames of Minnesota, Generals Logan and
Butler, he was appointed United States
marshal Of the territory Of Dakota. He
held that position five years, aud then
declined rearpointment. Two years

Conkling's Mistake

Washington special, g. The bitter at
tack Of the New York Times on cx-Sen-
ator Conkling, in an article entitled
jay Gould's Man, revives Il story once
current hero in Washington which ex.
plains the hostility Of the Times to
Conkling: Seseral years ago George
Jones, the proprietor Of the Times was
on his way to the national capital with
his daughters, and Conkiing was a pas
senger on the same train. Jones was a
warm personal friend and admirer of
Conkling and had utilized every oppor-
tunity to say kind word about him in
his paper. Conkling during the journey
from New York to Washington passed
through the car in which Jones and his
daughters We're. Conkling stopped a
moment to speak to Jones, and Jones
seized the opportunity to introduce him
to his daughters. Conkling barely re-
co2nizcd the introduction, and without
a word TO the young ladies passed to an.
deed, that he could scarcely give utter
ance to his anger. There was no reason
why his daughters should be treated
with such indifference. They were not
particularly noted for their beauty but
they were fnelooking and stylish, and
had the reputation Of being very amia-
Il IL. al .nl -. J
to Tom Murphy, the noted New York
politician, who was a spectator of the
scene, That Coukling's manner amount
ed TO objectionable rudeness, and that
the time would come when Conkling
would regret it. Murphy went into the
car where Conkling was and endeavored
to indnce him to go and make amends
for his ungracious conduct, but Conkling
was too proud TO admit that he had done
anything which yequired the appearance
of an apology. From that time to the
present the Times has lost no chance to
assail Conkling. When Conkling had
his Canonchet trouble and was driven
off the Sprague premises by Sprague
with shotgun, all the other New York
papers suppressed the story the next
day except the Times. Conkling knows
better than to ask favor Of Jones. He
knew that the story was to be published
in the Times, and he was so anxious
about it that he waited until o'clock
in the morning to get proof slips Of it
from the Times office, which were
brought to him by friend. 1t is prob
able that Conkling has wished many
times that he had been more gracious to
the Jones guild.

PRESS COMMENTS.
Dcadwood Pioneer, eth The
Pioneer nominated Geo. II. Hand and
iaborea for his nomination, but not in
a spirit of opposition to others named
in connection with the office, for, in
fact, there were none others suggested
who openly declared that they wonld
accept the nomination iftendered, while
not few frequently stated that they
latter were George Fl. Walsh and John
B. Raymond, hence our candidate
and Pettigrew, we're the only ones
regularly in the field The contest
wagcd 10y petngrcw rendered Hands
nomination impossible. but it did not
deprive Us Of the great victory for which
every energy was bent, pettigrew's de-
feat. Mr.. Raymond rcconsidered his
previously declared decIination and ac-
cepted the nomination, and no one was
more greatly pleased than the Pioneer
Deadwood Times, 10Th; There was
general JOY in uhs city, and as far as we
can learn throughout the entire Hills
when the telegraph brought the news
late last night that the territorial repub-
liran convention had nominated j. b.
Raymond for delegate. This choice is
Nisc, jndicious and eminently proper.
This action will consolidate all factions
of the republican party aud heal wounds
given in the heat of political warfare
which the choice Of candidates. prUmin-
ent In the convention from the south.
ern section of the territory would have
rendered chronic or incurable. No ci;i.
zen Of the territory stands higher in the
estimation of all classes regardless Of
political complexion than Mr. Raymond.
AS a public officer he has executed the
duties Of iiis Office with Justice and i'm
iartialty. TO those whose offences
were merely technical he has been con
sidcrate, but yet has performed his
duties with scrupnlons fidelity to the
government. He is Justly popular here
in the Hills, and in fact is held in the
highest estimation IN every portion Of
the territory.

Douglas, Grant, lIanlin. Hutchinson,
KiEgsbury, Miner, Pembina, Turner,
Union and Nankton. Bur'eigh county
voted for Mclean. and Hand cast its one
vote for Lamourc. The voting was in
terrup;cd by cheers as some ofthe coun-
ties would decline 20 vote on the ground
that they were instructed, or others
went for Raymond. Lawrence got
three cheers for lis stand, and Judge
LuMoure got three cheers from one side
and three -roans from the other when
he said he would not be Il party TO such
a ----- fraud, nor would the rcpub-
iicans Of Pemb;na county consent to
such action. The whole affair was so
cpt and dried, that it was hard to sec
what the struggle was kept up 50 long
FOX, and Winseer moved to make Ray
monu's nomination unanimous, and
Gen Dawson, in secouding the motion,
paid Raymonds bravery and excellence
Il high tribute. The motion was carried.
Wells of Barnes moved that the chair

who wanted to have each judicial dis
trict represented by five members and
by one at large 1t was then long after
I and the convention adjourned until 9
in the evening.
There are many sore head in town to-
night, and there will be many swellcd
ones tomorrow, as the saloons are being
well patronized The general express
sion among the quieter of the Hand and
Hughes factions is, Raymond is Il good
man. We don't complain Of the result,
but Of the way it was obtained" The
anti-Pettigrew men feel as if they par
taken literally Of crow, in being com

but it is not ut all probable that ii will
