The river towns and Black Hills people are
jublant over the prospective opening of the
Sioux reservations and anticipate that the
great railroad lines will push through to the
hills, in which they are likely to be dis
appointed for this season at least. 1t will
be remembered that under the bill al
''the lands acquired under the treaty
shall be disposed Of to actual settlers only,
under the homestead law, with proviso thai
each settler shall pay to the United States fol-
the land taken by him the sum of so cent.
an acre, il four equul annual payments
and that he shall be entitled to patent at the
end Of four years" This will block much Of
the speculation and be good thing for the
country.

MICHIGAN,

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, April 23.-The
hotels are full of delegate and leading Re-
publicans from all over the state, in view OF
the state convention tomorrow to nominate
delegates to the national convention. Nearly
all the delegates are on the ground.
The delegates are rather retired in regard
to presidential preferences, bat the opinion is
quite generally expressed that no in
structions will be given, and that the choice
Of delegates will not hinge greatly on this
question. As far as can be judged, Blaine
has far the strongest following, with Ed
munds next Later. The delegates are talk
ing more freely and Edmunds seems to lead
Blaine.

NEW YORK.

UTICA, April 23-Arrangements are COM
pleted for the Republican State convention,
which meets here at noon to-day. There is
intense feeling and uncertaintya as to the out
come of the struggle for supremacy in the
convention, but it is generally conceded
that if Edmunds' delegates, if they work in
unison, can throw the organization of the
convention into the hands of either the
Arthur or Blaine men. The Edmunds' men
held several conferences last night, and
oyertures were made to them by the leaders
of the Blaine and Arthur forces,
but they refused to treat,
or name other terms than the
naming of four delegates at large, and the
temporary chairman. The Arthur leaders
accepted the proposition of the Edmunds
men this morning, and the latter named
Andwren D. White, Edwin Packard, Theo-
dore Roosevelt, and Senator John l. Gilbert,
delegates at large, and George Irwin, tempo
rary chairman. The Edmunds men claim
60 to so delegates. The adherents of Arthur
claim over 200. 1t requires 249 votes to con-
troll the nominations. Should the conven-
ton hold together there is like
ly to be short session
ID. m.-About noon Blaine's men chang
ed the programme for delegates at large, and
instituted the names Of Roosevelt and Gil
bert on the combination ticket for those OF
Sloan and Erwin, endeavoring thus to break
the combination, but Edmunds' men refuse
to accept the compromise.
The convention was called about 1880.
The roll call showed the contest to be with
delegates from Montgomery county. Roose-
Velt then nominated Natheniel G, Boynton.

VIM. j. Baxter, the superintendent of the
large Snatto farm near Milbank, in Grant
county, was injured, it is feared fatally, by q
runaway of one of the four teams drilling in
wheat. The Revic~ says; This team was
the fourth in the rear of Mr.. Baxter's, and
took a strange direction in their course OF
running. They passed across to the line OF
teams using the harrows, then returning and
zigzagging backwards and forth two or three
times, running over and against drills and
horses, until they reached Mr.. BaXter's team,
when they jumped onto his drill and threw
him to the ground, cutting him above the
eyes and crushing in the bone OF his nose
where it joins the cranium.'

hone, upon calling the Republican conyen-
ton to order, was vociferously cheered
After making a short speech, Malone, as
chairman of the Readjuster state committee,
with the concurrence Of the chairman of the
Republican state committee, named Colonel
VIM. Lamb as temporary chairman, and
Lamb briefly addressed the body. He said
they had come here with the high resolve TO
rescue the mother state from the hands of
the despoiler. The proceedings OF the last
legislature, for oppression and tyranny,
could not find u parallel in the history OF the
country. He looked for happy results from
the action of this convention, as the time
had now come when the people of the south
could join the Republican party as the party
of protection.
After recess it was reported that all coun-
ties in the state but four were represented.
Col. William Lamb was made permanent
president. The district delegates to Chicago,
named are as follows: First distrlct-Duff

DODGE COUNTY.

KAssoN, MIMI, April 23.-The RepubH-
can county convention was held at Mantor-
vile this afternoon, and, as expected, an ex-
citing time was had. The regular or Arnold
delegation from this precinct was admitted,
though the friends of Nelson made a desper-
ate effort in his behalf, and affidavits were
plentiful on both sides. An enthusiastic in =
dividual made strenuous efforts to seat both
delegations, making one for each party, one
almost exactly contradicting the other. BY
this action H. D. Austin has placed himself
in a very unenyiable position in the COM
munity, and the common inquiry is, what
could he be thinking of?
The following delegates were chosen to the
different conventions:
state-Z. B. Page E. F. Way H. A. Vicory,
Sievert Olsen.
District Cat Winona)-W. B. Parsons, J.
B. Arnold, G. B. Edgerton, W. G. Avery,
fremont Jackson, Theo. E. E. Cummings.
Congressional. S. Peck, John Edward
G.. j. Hummason, W. G. Avery, E. c. Fever
ance, a. E. Anderson.
1t is impossible to learn the sentiment OF
the delegates for president, but it is thought
that Arnold and Page favor Blaine and Edger-
ton has a leaning to Arthur. 1t is at least a
mixed delegation. The congressional dele
gates, it is said, are a unit for White.
