A Republican Pie Story.

Blaine used to tell story to ex-
press the feelings OF republicans to-
wards the administration of MIR.
Hays, but it applies better to their
feelings regarding bis own nomination.
A party of young men were camping
out in the Maine woods. One was
selected to cook, and it was agreed
that the first man who complained OF
the cuisine should assume the duties
of cook hi uself. The fare was simply
atrocions, hut all held their peace
with an effort. One day some pie
was thought more villainOus than
anything that had gone before it.
The man at the head of the table
looked around upon the faces OF his
companions, and it occurred to him
that a condition nearer akin to re
bellion was pictured upon the face
of his vis-a-vis than upon the cOunten
ance of any ether of the unfOrtunates
Addressing him sweetly, he said

SELF SLAUGHTER.
Peter Swanson Slabs Himself Seven
Times and Cuts His Throat.

Peter Swanson, Swede, residing in Min
neapolis, was brought from White Bear lake
to st. Paul yesterday by Deputy Sheriff Glenn
EFT. Swanson had in his abdomen seven
gaping and ghastly wounds, the result of a
desperate attempt to commit suicide at the
lake last Saturday evening. The young maj,
was taken to the city hospital in the patrol
wagon, where he lies in avery critical condi-
ton. After inficting the gashes named,
he tried to sever his windpipe, but only sue
ceeded in making sickly cash in his throat
The attempt is attributed to despondency,
aggravated by drink.
Last Saturday he started for the lake, hay-
ing in his possession about S35. As nearly
as could be ascertained he set out with the
view of blowing his money in for drink, and
in this he succeeded.
About nightfall he called at the residence
of an old acquaintance while badly intox-
icated and asked if he could stay to supper
He was invited TO partake of the family re-
past and after the meal he went behind the
house and deliberately set about the bloody
work. The instrument was pocket knife,
with an ugly blade about four inches long
and nearly an inch in width. He plunged
the knife into his abdomen in seven differ
ent places, butcheFing himself in the most
frightful manner. The blade didn I appear
to penetrate the bowels, however, and when
he saw that the attempt was liable to be
failure be cut the cash in his throat. When
found he was writhing in pain and exhausted
from the loss of blood. Prompt medical at
tendance was had and he may recover. He
was visited By DR.. Ancker, yesterday, who
thinks there is fair chance for his life. He
is about thirty years of age aud single.

Served Hash for Every MeaI.

The Alexandria Herald recalls this remi-
niscence on the James river that may have
suggestion for other landlords:
A number Of years ago when the country
was new and population rather scarce, a
tavern was kept on the Jim by man we will
call Simpson, because It is not his name.
Simpson used to call his boarders to dinner
by firing one barrel of shotgun. One day
he was asked why he didn't shoot both bar
rels. His reply was, keep the other to col
Iect With, stranger" Simpson was noted
for his rough WAYS and phenomenal quick
ness with his gun and was respected ac-
cordingfy By the rough border element who
were wont to make his tavern their stopping
place. Simpsons bill Of fare was somewhat
curtailed but one thing could be depended
upon. That was hash Hash for breakfast,
dinner and supper. An occasional growl
went up over the inevitable hash. Hash was
good enough for fifty or sixty meals but this
thing Of living on It was played
out. so the boys reasoned and SO
one of them was bold enough
to tell Simpson. This was one bright morn
ing in June Simpson frowned but never
said word. and all anxiously waited for
dinner. The hour came. The table was
crowded as usual. Simpson came in and
reaching under the table brought up a
double barreled shot gun. Drawing back
botn hammers and hooking sharply along
the sides of the long table he remarked with
great impressiyeness, ''the man who don't
like hash is horse thief and liar; have

REDFlELD, D. T.
Especial Correspondence of the Globe


REDFIELD, D. T., Aug. 14.-Some time
ago it seemed to an ordinary observer that
Redfield would be rather quiet this fall
Conclusions at that time were based upon
the fact that here and there, in nearly all
directions from Redfeld, our people were
damaged some by hail, and many of them
seemed much more than damaged. But since
the insurance companies in which they had
insured have come to the front so nobly and
settled all their losses, instead of the long
faces we have seen before, they are now
smiling and appear to be as happy as the
man we saw walking down street this morn
ing with box full of cigars treating all the
boys as he met them, all because he had a
new girl at his house.
Mr.. Goodwin, who has been one of the
boomers and monied men of Frankfort,
bought in yesterday one house and three lots
on the business street Of Redfield. This
counts one, and big one at that, for the
county seat at Redfeld. In that way we are
gaining all the time, and we would not be
much surprised if We would secure the
county seat this fall by almost a unanimous
consent.
Mr. Mellette, ex-register of the WATERFOWL
land office, spent few days in this place the
fore part of the week. We surmise he is
looking up his chances for delegate to con-
gress The people OF south Dakota can well
be proud should they succeed in nominating
as good man as Mr., Mellette.
D. H. Kutnewsky's father-in law and uncle
are here from Illinois visiting the doctor and
looking at the country. They are well
pleased with everything generally as they see
it here, and seem to think that our farmers
ought to be well pleased when they can get
sixty cents for wheat.
The Republicans have decided to hold their
legislative convention at Rcdfeld this fall.
The probability is that we will also get the
Democratic convention of this district here.
The Congregational and NJ. E. Sunday
schools have decided to hold a picnic in
Fishers grove the last dnesday in this
month.
Mr.. Bennett is building another addition
to his new, large and commodious building
which will make nice business room 25x60
feet.
Our farmers are nearly through stacking
their grain aud most Of them are tbreshing
and are well pleased with the turn out.
Mr. Packard is working hard to make the
SPHINX county fair success, and says we will
have the best fair in central Dakota.
II. L. Henry has moved from frankfort to
Redield, and has row concluded to run the
DisLqfch as Democratic paper.
Mr. B. W. Briggs and r. c. King left this
morning for Minnesota on hunting expe-
dition.

The Turtle Mountain Tom.

Dunseith, the budding metropolis of the
Turtle mountains, is but Il few weeks old, is
ninety miles from a railroad, but already has
had regular orthodox sermon and we'd
ding. A fine corner lot has been set apart
by the proprietors for the first child born
there. Coal is known to exist in abundance
in the mountains, and it is thought possible
other minerals may be found in paying
quantities. The Herald says:
"Only yesterday fine sample of lead and
silver ore was handed us by one of our prom
nent citizens, who was assured that it came
from groupings containing tons of like ma
ture. Even with these and many other evil
dences of the mineral wealth of these noun
tains before us, we are not prepared to state,
as fact, that rich silver mines exist here,

This furniture establishment covers alarge

goods show that there is large stock on

vogue, and there are some fine matched
