that was on the stairs, and they all 1ell

Pa and ma wentinto their room, and

"Well. YOU are cruel, bad boy" said
the grocery man, as he went to the LOOK
and charged the six shillings. f.

A man who will take poor kitty by the
neck. that hasn't done any harm, and
tries to chastise the poor thing with "a
trunk strap, ought to be looked after by
the humane soHiety., And If 1t IS cruel
to take a cat by the neck, how much
more cruel is it to take a boy by the
neck that had diptheria only few years
ago, and whose throat istender."
The boy, slyly filling his pockets with
rais1ns and loaf sugar, then went out to
watch the man; carry in his kindling
wood.

and wave his coat in front of the team?
lay down in the track and block the

The causes leading to the rash act
which deprived the deceased Of life,
are attributed to domestic and real or
fancied financial trouble, over which he
had brooded until his mind had be-

him to have been man of strong do
mestic proclivities, and being parted
from his children seemed to trouble
him greatly. 1t appears that his wife
refused to leave her old home, and it
was probably this more than financial
trouble which led to the act. rs over a
hundred dollars were found upon his
person, and he claimed to have three
hundred more somewhere

CLIFTON.

The county seat of Sully County, is
beautifully located upon the south bank
of the Okobojo---a never failing stream
upon plateau just sloping enough to
afford an excellent drainage. Though
only few weeks old, it is already Of
the most Importance of any place with
in radius of fifty miles, enjoying a
steady and permanent growth, and is
bound to have lively "boom " as soon
as the dull season is over. Being sit
uated so near the Geographical Center
of so large and fine a county as Sully,
and its seat Of justice, it cannot be 9th
erwise The healthfulness Of Clifton
and surrounding country must CON-
mend itself to everybody, and, in select
ing location, those who take this
great desideratum into consideration
cannot do better in the whole West
than right here. Fine Government
Land can yet be secured near Clifton,
the county seat, and accomplishments
bought at low price.
SULLY COUNTY
Is situate on the east side of the Mis-
souri, river in the south central portion
of Dakota, and is conceded by those
who know to be the most beautiful
country in this great territory---a dis
tinction Of which it may well be proud.
1t contains some 100000 acres of as
fine agricultural and grazing lands as
the the sun ever shone upon, only
awaiting the plowman and stock grow
er to fill their pockets with easily made
wealth and their hearts with content.
THE SURFACE OF THE COUNTRY
Is beautiful to behold, just rolling

An INTERVENING TALK
With Secretary Martin. Oh the Mill
Situatian.

Last evening REGISTER reporter called
on Secretary Martin, OF the Amalgamated
Association. at a city hotel. The gentle
man was found with circle OF friends sit
ting in the office, all conversing on the all
absorbing topic Of the times: The iron
question" After the usual formalities had
been gone through the reporter asked the
Secretary:
What was the present outlook of the
struggle that would take place the. lst OF
June"
He replied: II am unable to state. In
face, no one knows anything definite about
it. We that is the Amalga nation, feel
very confident as 10 what will be the ulti-
mate result, but We do not wish TO be put
before the public at present Let the other
side fire their big guns, then it will be
time enough for us to strike match"
DO you know anything about the mills
in the West?'
NO, sir; nothing particular
Have you heard any rumors to the
effect that the western mills are negotiat-
ing with Wheeling workmen to go to their
mills and work in case of a lockout here
asked the reporter.
Yes l have heard rumors to that effect,
but do not care TO talk on the subject"
Am | correctly informed that the Mingo
mill would run independent of the action
of the other Mills asked the reporter.
DO you mean that thatmiil Will sign the
scale and continue working
The reporter informed him that was what
he meant and further that he was inform
ed that the Mingo mill you'd run night
and day while the lockout lasted.
He replied: II have heard nothing about
the action of the MinLo mill and therefore
can not say anything. From your remarks
| presume you intend ME - believe that it
was only rumor to that effect that you
had heard?'
Yes, sir replied ii e reporter. ut was
only a rumor, but | supposed you had
been apprised OF it and knew something Of
q reliable nature"
81 DO not know ar ,hirg about it. Like
you have hearu TT TIE Western mills
would try and monopolize the trade should
a lockout take place in this district, by
running night and day, but do not know
anything from reliable source on the
subject"
There has been a great deal OF talk in
this city, as to whether the article which
appeared in an issue OF the REGIsTEE last
week, was really an interview with FRESH
dent jarrett or not. Can you throw any
light on it, asked the req orter.
III you have reference to the article
stating He would resign before signing a
reduced sc ale can answer you that was
Just what he said"
This gentleman, like his companion, was
very close -mouthed on the subject of the
present trouble, and would not divulge
anything of q newsy nature. except that
he had issued the scale card to all the
lodges last week, ami they would present
it TO the manutSc urers some tine this
week.
