OHIO POLITICS.
Both Parties Claim the State-Hoao-

Both Parties Claim the State Hoao-
ly and the Presidency,
WASHINGTON, July 31.-Both the
political parties claim to be able to
carry Ohio this fall Congressman
Hill, Ward man, declares that the
republicans are mistaken when they
declare they can carry the state ON a
full vote The Independents hold the
balance of power, and in the present
canvas they are with Judge Hoadly,
and if he works well he will be elect
ed by large majority. Ward is to
take the stump in his behalf, and will
be followed by Geddes and others.
The liquor question will be prominent
for few weeks and then be subordi-
mated to the tariff. Mr.. Hill does not
think that if Ohio goes democratic
now that it will do the same thing i'll
1884; but he thinks that with Hoadly
on the presidential ticket he would
not only sweep the state but the ma
ton.

Retrospective.
THE BIRTH OF THE BROTHERHOOD.

IhE blhth of 1hE b1oIhEhhocb
Like many similar gigantic enter
prises. the Western Union was an
outgrowth of the war. During the
rebellion the extent of the country
covered by military operations was SO
vast, and the necessities for rapidly
carrying orders and information We're
so important, that companies owning
short lines were compelled to act In
concert to facilitate business. In all
military districts government super
intendents or telegraph lines were ap-
pointed. who had absolute control
over all such lines within their dis
trict. During the five years of the
war the system of telegraphy became
thoroughly established, and after its
close it was an easy matter to put the
combination upon acommercial basis,
and with the men In charge who had
built up and developed the combina-
ton. the Western Union became the
great telegraph monopoly of the Unit
ed States, at once the largest, richest
and strongest in the world The men
who originated the company still con-
troll and operated it, with the govern
ment director of telegraphs during the
war at its head With the growth of
the system there has been commen-

NJ. c. Connors, Of Spearfish, passed
through Pierre recently and WIS inter
viewed by Signal reporter From the
Signals remarks we extract the follow
ing: There are nearly one million
head Of cattle on the range tributary to
Deadwood. This year there were prob
ably 100000 of young cattle shipped to
the eastern market. 1t cost about 500
per car to ship via the Union Pacific or
Northern Pacific. Twenty head is about
the average car load. 1t costs ABOUT
$3.50 per head to land them at market -
From the foregoing we can draw two
conclusions: One is that next wear
there will be 100000 head shipped to
market. 1t will take at twenty head
per car, $4,000 cars to accommodate that
number; at fifteen cars to the train i,
will take 1893 trains. The shipping
season lasts about l25 days, and would
neccssitate 122 trains per day. At 500
per car load the revenue to a railroad
would be $2,50O,O0O, and yet people ask
why should railroad 90 to the Hills?

One Of the most brutal robberies that
ever occurred was perpetrated at Peters
burg Grove, Colorado. seven miles from
Denver. At that place lives an old
bachelor, Peter Olsen, who usually kept
small sums ofmoney about the premises.
A few nights ago four disguised men
went to the house and knocked. AS
customary in the country, the farmer
asked the visitors to come in. As soon
as all were inside the door they seized
Olsen, threw him on the floor and held
him, and demanded to know where his
money was He replied that he had
none. After thoroughly searching the
house to no purpose, Olsen still refusing
to tell where his money was hid, the
robbers got willow switches and whip
ped his bare feet and legs until they
were covered with blood. Still refusing
they built large fire in the back yard,
carried Olsen out and proceeded to exc
cute their threat to roast him alive.
They placed his feet in the fire and liter.

treatment would not open his mouth
The old man was then compelled to
walk back to the house, where scufile

and decamped. There is no clue to the
robbers. Olsen will probably recover.

She Lost Her Handkerchief.

A laughable incident occurred the
other evening on "a south side car. A
nice, understanding girl took her seat
near the front door of the car next to a
well-Gressed middle-aged gentleman
She laid her dainty lace handkerchief
in her lap TO adjust her hat just as the
car door was opened and gust Of wind
sent the delicate lace 'kerchief into the
lap Of her neighbor. She hesitated
about reaching for it, when the gentle
man, glancing downwards, beheld some
thing white, and, being a little near
sighted, at once jumped to the cOnclu
sion that he had met with disaster and
lost button and his shirt needed atten-
yiom. He swiftly tapped his overcoat
across bis lap with his left, and with his
right hand tucked the offending linen
out Of sight in jiffy. Several persons
who noticed the act were convulsed with
laughter, and the gentleman, not dream
ing OF the real cause, soon after left the
ar. If any south side wife has this

The greatest gold mine on the globe is

square miles whose every crag and rug
