THE LATEST NEWS.
The widest excitement still prevails at
Bismarck and speculation IN town lots
and all kinds of property is increasing
every day Governor Ordway had an
informal conference with the capital
commissioners, in which he took the
ground that advertisements should be
published at once for contracts, and that
the buildings should be up and inclosed
before snow flies. Hesays that the usual
delay in the erection of public buildings
is nonsense. President Hughes is of the
opinion that they should put men to work
on capital grounds, within the next ten
days, that the electric light will be pro-
cured, and double force of mechanics
should be kept at work until the build
ing is completed. A large number Of
Chicago and other eastern capitalists are
here, and others are constantly arriving

AS predicted in the editorial columns,
we are informed by telegraph that the
Barber boys were taken from jail by the
mob at 11:3O o'clock on Friday, and hung
to tree half mile east of the Jail. The
mob was composed of men from Fayette
county, and were led by brother Of the
man whom the BARRIERS killed last fall at
West Union. The sheriff refused to give
up the keys, and the mob battered down
the doors with sledge hammers, and after
short delay inside brought the Grimm
ais out with ropes around their necks.
The boys did not finch particle, and
did not even plead for mercy during the
whole ordeal.
Gov. Butler has notified the Massachu-
sets State board of charities that their

The whereabouts of Mai. Azor Nicker-
son, U. S. A., whose first wife has filed an
application to set aside the decree Of d.
vorce granted the major, is unknown to

Chinese firms at Victoria, B. c., advise
the Chinese government to allow no
more men to come there at present 1t
is asserted that 1000 Chinese laborers

Bishop Elder ofCincinnati has directed
that no Catholic entertainment shall be
given in any hall or garden whose pro-
prietor is unwilling to close the place up
before dark. This regulation is intended
to remove the temptation to the young
to remain and dance in the evening,
which is contrary to the rules of the
church.
Father Byron, who created sensation
at the Catholic Church, Ansonia, Conn.,,
by directing his parishioners to employ
DR.. Conkling, has left for another field.
Father Bailey, also connected with the
matter, and who is on vacation, will
not return. Father Brady, the pastor,
has recovered sufficiently to assume his
regular duties.
There is undoubtedly some informa-
ton about Crook at Gen. Requerra's
headquarters. That it is not Of deci-
sive character is certain and it is pro-
bable also that Crook has been working
further south than has been supposed.
The Indians appear to be attempting to
confuse the troops by sending small de-
tachments out, but the main body under
Juh and Geronimo are still together.
Oakley Hall, the editor Of Truth, played
a neat game on a confiding lager beer
saloon keeper. The saloon keeper in
question owns the building nextto the
New York approach to the East River
bridge. Everybody crossing the bridge
must pass within a few feet of the beer
saloon keepers building. Oakley Hall
went to this confiding German a few days
ago and said he would like to move
Truths office up into his top story. An
agreement was made at rent of 81 600
or 81, 800 a year. Then Oakley Hall
moved up and, as soon as he had planted
his desk, started hurriedly out into the
street. A short time afterward he reap
peared with a gang Of painters, who
swung q scaffold from Mr. Halls window
and began to paint the wall of the build |
ing, which opened directly on the bridge. |
They painted this dead white first, and
then began to put in gigantic letters the |
word TRUTH" The German saw what |
a tremendous advertisement this would
be for the paper, and rushed over to the |
city hall to restrain the editor of Truth
from advertising on his building without |
pay, but he found that ex-Mayor Oakley |
Hall had been there before him, and had |
got permanent injunction from Judge |
Donohue restraining the saloon keeper |
from interfering with it. 1t was a shrewd |
move, and will prove a very profitable
one.
