Oscars S. Clifford, the nominee Of
the Republican party Of Dakota for
delegate III congress, was born in
Watertown, New York, in 1912, and
looks al Of his 40 years. His early
|lits was spent on ! farm. and his
early educational advantages were
woeoanesd. ID 1854 when
3s6ls his
psfsila moved u Boone county III.
wherein the boy went TO school,
spending lis summer on his fathers
farm until 1861, where he enlisted
in an Illinois regiment Of infantry,
and as q private soldier fought all
through the war. Returning to- IL
linois in 1865 he succeeded in very
much improving his education in o
neighboring academy, and taught
in Boone county several seasons.
In 1871 he started for Dakota, ar
irving in Canton, Lincoln county,
without a carpetbag or federal COM
mission Of any kind, he soon sue
ceeded in amassing some property,
and opened a general store in Can
ton, but his taste did not specially
~IHF -
lead to mercantile pursuits, and he
was . elected a justice of the
peace, serving in that capacity also
AZ mayor in Canton for several
terms. Opportunity occurring MIR.
Clifford commenced to read law in
the Office Of Mark w. Baily Of Can
ton, one Of the brightest lawyers Of
South Dakota. Admitted to practice
he associated himself in business
with Mr.. Baily, and the partnership
was continued until the death Of the
latter. Since that time Mr.. Clifford
has continued the pursuit Of his
profession and his acquired consid.
cradle property. He is q stalwart
republican and earnest for division
on the 46th parallel aud admission
Of South Dakota.

Canton Aduocate:-Yes, the Dakota
editor lives a life of luxurious ease.
He rides in chariots, and lives on
the dew that sparkles in the glisten-

shows, folded by a three dollar adj
vertisement, "please insert" There

TEiE ENGLISH EARTHQUAKE.

LoNDoN, April 22.-At $50 this
morning an earthquake shock of con
siderable force was felt Eastern Es-
sex and Suffolk were the scenes of the
greatest disturbance At Ipswich the
shock was SO severe that the walls of
houses were perceptibly shaken; plates
were ratified, and the bells rung. The
Business for a time was suspended.
The shock was still more severe at
Colchester. The conclusion lasted for
half a minute. The first symptom was
a deep, rumbling sound, portentious
and awe-inspiring, speedily followed
by quaking and shaking Of all build
ings Church bells sounded as though
swayed by unseen hands. Tail CHM
neys and smokestaeks of factories
crashed in, roofs falling to the earth,
and other lofty structures were de
stroyed. The spire Of one Of the larg
est churches in the city, $50 feet high,
fell with an awful crash 10 the ground.
It is impossible to estimate, but the
damage Is known to be great In pri-
vate houses the greatest confusion pre-
vailed. Chairs and tables were over
turned, china and glassware in cup
boards ratified together, and were fire.
quently shattered, while pictures and
other ornaments upon walls were loos-
ened from their f;lstenings and fell to
the floor The people were terror
stricken. Men, women and children
rushed shrieking into the streets, where
their agonized cries and pale faces
made a most Impressive scene, At
Chelmsford, about 30 miles from Lon
don, the shock was also severe. The
wave passed from South to North. At
Colchester a child was killed and a
woman's skull fractured. The dam
age at Wivenhoe alone Is $4,000. At
Coggeshall number Of school girls
rushed panic stricken into the streets,
and many Of them were crushed.

Elc Dynamite Ggan.

There has been tested recently on
our sea-coast a new kind of gun, which
If Is hoped will be useful in protecting
our harbors. 1t contains Il dynamite
cartridge which is expelled from the
gun by air-pressure. Dynamite would
do very great destruction if it should
be shot out Of an ordinary cannon; but
as it explodes by anything in shape Of
a shock, t would naturally do more
damage to the cannon which expelled
ii than to the object against which it
was directed. \ gun, however, has
been invented to send this dynamite
cartridge against fort, or an APP
preaching iron-clad The machine is
upon exhibition ia the Delamator Iron
Works in New York. 1t looks like a
forty-foot brass pipe, mounted on a
steel girder. This is the barrel and
carriage Of the four-inch dynamite
pneumatic gun. 1t weighs ton, and
Is capable Of sustaining a pressure Of
1000 pounds to the square inch. The
dynamite cartridge is encased in soft
metal, within shell of brass, and fit
ed with a wooden tab. Ii is expelled
by compressed air, and when the pro-
jectile, flying at speed, strikes head-on
against resisting surface, a hard
metal pin embedded In the soft metal
