Hail and Rain Storms.

Cheyenne, May l0.--The most severe
rain storm which has visited this Sec
tion of country for many years came
upon us yesterday, and much damage to
property of various kinds was the result,
but to what extent we have been unable
owing to Tie condition Of the roads, to
learn. We understand the stock in cer-
tain sections in the immediate vicinity
north and west from here suffered con-
siderably, and with some loss.
Denver, May 10.-A terrible storm of
rain, hail and wind visited this part of
the state and sonth and west from here
yesterday, which must have resulted
dsastrouslv to man, beast and property.
The damage in this city from hail was
upwards of $4,000 which is known, and
with quite considerable portion Of the
city to hear from. 1t is reported some
lives were lost. but the report cannot, at
this writing, be traced to reliable

kNa or to increase perceptibly the
chances for division and admission.
TIE main object of such a gather
ing would appear to be the keeping Of
the names of those who are behind the
movement prominently before the peo-
pie, especially in connection with Ger.
tain Offices which they aspire to I'LL
| when the assumption Of statehood shall
have become fixed fact. The call
seems 10 be but little more than a part
of that bitter factlonal fight between the
Pettigrew and Ordway factions which
has been principal! factor in Dakota
politics for some time past. 1t is hardly
20 be expected that anything will be
gained by the meeting of the proposed
convention, however diligently the
thing may be worked up In the first
place, il is idle to assume that any or
binary show of public feeling will dis
pose democratic congress to grant adj
mission. Although in a minority, the
party opposed both admission and di-
vision successfully ut the last session.
nor will they be more literally minded
until the next presidential and con-
gressional election have taken place.
An argument that rest upon the assump-
ton that that party will stop short of
the extreme limit or partisanship where
the possible result of an election is con-
cerued, is pretty sure to fall to the
ground. In the second place, there is
no power behind the convention move
ment to give it dignity or authority. If
it had been sanctioned by the legislature
and was in that sense a really popular
act, It's moral force would be great, and
congress would either have to listen TO
it, or take the responsibility of an open
denial of popular rights. But as the
work ofa coterie ofterritorial politicians,
whose personal ambitions are not only its
chief motive power, but apparently its
aim and end it offers i'm itself an excuse
and opology for disrcgarding it alto
gelher. The whole programme is made
out and the slate arranged with refer
cnce to the relation of these men to the
present politics Of the territory and the
relation they hope to bear to the future
state. 1t is clearly very different case
from those of Vermont and Michigan
which may be cited as precedents, where
the calling Of constitutional conventions,
the adoption Of instruments of govern
ment, and the demand for admission
were essentially the work of the whole
people. The mooted Dakota body has
no authority behind it, and verv little
prospect Of accomplishing anything
ahead of it.

| Like Samson, John Sullivan has his
weak point. 1t is not his want of hair.
but Of wind. This, in the slugger's par
lance means his ability to keep the
breath Of life within the periphery of
of his ribs whiie the outward man is
busy in trip hammerlng the poor wretch
who feels proud to act as target for the

Of honorable standing" relates that
Sullivan confessed to him at New Or
leans, just before the contest with Ryan
that his lungs were not Of sufficient
capacity. 1t is now common belief
supported by the convincing fact of
heavy wagers that the Boston Boy will
himself be knocked out in the next, or
at the farthest, the second, fight he here
after undertakes. Connoisscurs Of prize
fighting Drawn say that if Tug Wilson
had been able TO stand up against him
for five or six rounds, he could have
thumped Sullivan to his hearts content,
and any man who can outlast four
rounds with him now will whip him.
Sullivan's success lies in his strength.

The following from the New Haven
Palladium is an apt description of the
present religious music:
Not long ago we went to a certain
church to seek the spiritual consolation
to be obtained from the devout worship
and praise of God, especially hoping to
be lifted up to a higher life by the sing
ir.g of some grand, old simple hymn
We had been in the richly upholstered
pew and staring at the painted windows
but few moments when the organ sud-
denly hushed, and in distant corner
Of the church, four fashionable dressed
ladies and gentlemen arose and sang.
And this is what they sang:
"God is spirit: God is spirit and
they that worship him must worship
him in spirit and in truth. God is q
spirit, and they that worship him; God
is spirit must worship him; they must;
must worship; worship Him; in spirit
and in truth; for the Father seeketl,
such tenor for the Gall lound) seeketh
such, seeketh such, seeketh such to wor-
ship him. Very softly God is spirit
(waxing louder) God is a spirit; and
they: they that worship him; they /;
and they; they that worship him, must
worship him, must worship him; and
they; must; that worship him (tenor,
softlp) must; (contralto) worship (all)
him in spirit and in truth (all but
tenor for (all) the Father seeketh such
base seeketh such (all softly to wor-
ship him, to worship; (sort o dying
away in spirit and in tru-u-u-th |"
As the concluding cadences softly died
away among the vacant pews, like the
still small voice among the cliffs oi
Sinai, we could not help wondering
whether those much.tortured words had
any meaning, and, if so, whether that
meaning had any application to the per.
formance just ended. What is worship
| in spirit and in TRUTH"

II. +. Pettgrcw when asked his opin-
ion Of the governors connection with
the capital scneme by a Pioneer Press
reporter said:
Il think he was privy to the whole
business from the beginning, and that
he expected to make money out Of it..
The plan of the projectors of the enter
prise, il is generally believed. was to
select site ont on the praries, where
they had control of the land, and then
speculate upon town lots. My opinion
is, however, that public sentiment has
compelled them to abandon that plan.
and that they will have the capital
located in some town which is already
in existence. don't say that the COM
missioners themselves conceived that
plan, but that the parties who secured
the passage Of the bill had it in view.
1t is difficult to tell just what Gov. Ord
ways connection with the spectators
was, but 10y his action he helped the
passage Of the bill. For instance, he
threatened to exercise the veto power
against other measures unless the pro-
jcctors voted for the capital bill A bill
was passed appropriating 5000 for Il
normal school at Spcartish and the gov
ernor vetoed it. subsequently similar
bill appropriating s. 600 for that purpose
was passed and he signed it The mem
bers interested in the normal school
voted for the capital commission bill,
and it had been said that they have
stated that they were obliged to so vote
in order to get their appropriations
through"
Have you any idea ar to what the
commission will do finally?'
Il believe that the plans Of the COM
mission are all disconnected, and that
they don't know themselves what they
intend to do. / think, however, that
they will open the bids received at
Canton, where they are now assembling
Pierre, Mitchell, Huron and Ordway, |
understand, are bidders. A gentlemen
who is intimate with the commission
and who did more to secure the passage
of the bill than anybody else, told me
that after opening the bids the commits
sioners would look around, or, as he ex-
pressed it, decide where. to locate the
capital, and then Withhold their decision
from the public until after they had
given the insiders a chance to invest.
However, the matter has got into court,
and the governors connection with the
passage Of the bill is being investigated
by the grand jury, and ! am inclined to
think that the ultimate result will be
that the court will declare the bill un-
constitutional, in which case the capital
will remain at Yankton, whatever may
be done by the commission.

says; Rumors were circulated to-day
of disaster to Crook 10y dispatch over

quiries pushed all day resulted that
Crook having moved some days earlier
than anticipated in Sonora, may not
have been able to receive the full CO.

the Apache force has been underesti-
mated and no confidence is placed in
Crooks scouts. Crooks small force is

Fort PIERRE, special correspondence
May 1.-I suppose YOU have heard of
the carpet baggers" convention that is
called 10 meet at Huron, TO smash
our territorial government and compel
congress to admit Dakota as state A
large number Of the men signing the
call are greedy Office seekers and carpet
bag politicians. Under our present form
of government there isn't nigh enough
offices to 60 around and change must
be made to satisfy the cords of the peo-
Pile" The great and good Hugh j.
Campbell, L. S. employer, is helping
to engineer the scheme, SO that he can
find another job when called to hand
over his present ore. The malcontents
claim that the people are anxious for
statehood and clamoring for it, all of
which l pronounce unqualifidely false.
To show the manner in which they are
manipulating the job, | have only time
to instance their tactics In Hughes
county. One man, member OF the
gang" is delegated to choose commit
tee of forty, to represent that county in
the "farcical convention. 1t is put
up job by lot of scal!awags. who are
already living upon the sweat of honest
people. The citizens ard toilers Of this
great territory are satisfied with their
present status, and all they ask is to be
let alone by lot Of "shysters," to lazy
to work and to proud to beg. When the
proper time comes-and not till then
Dakota will be admitte1-as a whole
and without the advice or assistance Of
the manipulators who are now busy in
making asses" of themselves.
Yours,
w
