At that town he had his moustache
colored, did not show himself on the

overland with party there. who was
starting to Kansas with team.
As Sheriff Mcdonald, who got trace Of

NIinnehaha County,

Sioux Falls, Oct. 3-The republican
county convention was held here this
afternoon and developed a good deal of
bad blood. Pettigrew having captured
the city caucus, there was square fight
between his city delegates, with some
recruits from the county, and country
delegates generally. The opening skir-
mish was upon selection of permanent
chairman, but the Pettigrew forces were
successful by majority of four, through
a miscount. Pettigrew addressed the
convention. He said he was opposed
to the system of taxation OF railroads
gross earnings. The property of cor.
porai ions should be taxed the same as q
private citizen. He would favor a bill pro-
hibiting members of the legislature and
judges from accepting railroad passes.
The county delegates opposing Petit
grew were in point of fact in slight
majority, but failed at every point
through lack of proper leadership and
unfamiliarity with political tactics.
Men experienced in the manipulation of
conventions being from the city, and
Pettigrew delegates, the convention was
carried in favor of Pettigrew as candi.
date for the council. Two candidates
for members of the lower house were
conceded to the farmers. Twenty.four
delegates, instructed favorable to Petit.
grew, were selected. A motion to in.
struct the delegates for Pettigrew for
the council and r. s. Alexander and r.
w. Smith for the house, was bitterly
opposed by the ultra Pettigrew men, but
finally carried.

@
Mr.. Howells and Mr.. James, If | am not
mistaken, get about s5,Ooo each for their
serials, as serials, and a percentage when the
book is published. At least that is the way
it used TO be, but / believe since Mr.. James
r Osgood severed his connection with
Houghton, Miffin & Co. and set up for him.
self that he has made some arrangement with
Messrs. Howells and James and one or two
other authors by which he pays them a large
sum outright for their work, and then he
negotintes with the magazine editor for It's
sale and publishes it in book form himself
This way of speculating in literature seems to
be gaining popularity. In England, as you
are probably aware, it is quite q business,
and the most successful person engaged in 1t
is q Mr. Tillotson, who was recently in this
country, where he made a very good ar
rangement with American authors and
American newspaper.
He has bought a number of stories from
different American authors-James, Howells,
Cable and four or five others, and these he
sells to a syndicate OF newspapers In differ
ent parts OF the country. He pays, say
81 ZOO for a story in three Or four chapters
iron Mr.. james, and he pays cash, which Is
always an attraction to an author, and then
he sells this story to a dozen or more papers
for simultaneous publication and to as many
English papers at the same time. II he gets
5000 from twenty-four papers each, including
England and America, no gets 81, 500 In all
for-one story, which pays him pretty good
profit on his investment.

Mr. NORTON FREwEN is doing yeo
man service in London in the interest of
Wyoming cattle men. He is presenting
his case 50 ably and with such intelligence
and judgment that his efforts will un-
doubtedly be crowned with gratifying c
cess. Many Of the English farmers arc
very much in favor of the importation of
American cattle, and when the Privy
Council is once convinced that the animals
are free from disease, all restrictions to
their landing on British soil will speedily
be removed. The most indubi-
table proofs Of the good health
of Wyoming cattle are close at hand.
The fuller and more complete the investi-
CATION into the condition of the cattle
here the better the stockmen will be satis-
fed, for the result cannot help being what
it was always claimed. The new of the
favorable disposition Of those in authority
toward Wyoming beef will be received
