Preparations for SECURING Fair Play.

COLUMBUS, Oct 13.--A citizens meeting was
held to day. consisting of joint committee ap
pointed by the Cleveland and Hendricks clubs
and by the Republican executive committee, to
take. some action to prevent illegal voting to-
morrow. A long conference was held, at the
conclusion of which it was decided to appoint
four citizens, two of each party, for each pre-
cinct in the city. 1t is learned that similar
meetings were held in other cities and commit
tees appointed VINO will be at the polls all day,
designated by badges, and who will have author
ity to scrutinize everything about the ballot
boxes and the manner in which the election is
conducted. Between thirty and forty deputy
night, believing the sheriff had interfered with
his authority, called a meeting of the police
board and secured permission to appoint 100
extra police. About half the number were ap-
pointed tonight, and others will be named in
the morning.

The Situation al Cincinnati.


CINcINNAT1 Oct 13-The close of the cam
paign finds the Republican forces
of this, the most important county of
the State, resolute, determined, and
hopeful not to say confident, of victory This
being the city in which the Democrats hope to
make the largest gains the members of that
party are naturally the most jubilant, and are
claiming the county and State by large
maiorities Bets were offered freely
by Democrats to-day, that Hamilton county
would give 5000 Democratic majority, and were
as freely taken by Republicans.
At Republican headquarters the leaders are
hopeful, and claim they will carry Hamilton
county. A dispatch from Colonel Dudley re-
ceived at midnight, claims that the
Republicans will receive Is, 900 plurality in the
State, but 5000 will be satisfactory
to the Hamilton county Republicans The
Democrats have prepared for extensive frauds in
this city, but the detectives in charge of
E. G. Rathbone have done much to circumvent
them. About forty of the worst of their
peaters were arrested tonight, and this prompt
action has done much to discourage their lead
ers. Gangs are here from New
York, Philadelphia, Baltimore Rich
mond, Louisville, and even Indianapolis,
furnishes its quota. The Democrats have
sworn in 500 deputy sherifs, and equal
number of extra police, to do service at the
polls tomorrow, while the Republican interests
will be guarded by 1000 deputy United States
marshals. The feeling in Cincinnati tonight
is at white heat and riot of serious dimen-
sions is not all improbable tomorrow
The first arrest will meet with retaliation, and
the least thing is liable to cause serious trouble

The sanborn County Contest.

Dillon & Preston, counsel for the
Letcher commissioners in the Sanborn
county contest, received a dispatch
Tuesday evening announcing that
Judge Edgerton had at last filed his de-
cision. The decision Gusts Whitney,
Thaxter, Brisbine and Tweksbury, the
officers appointed by the Forestburg
board, and fixes the county seat Letch-
er for the present at least. And so the
Crennan government is to prevail in
Sanborn county over that instituted by
Ordway. Following is a summary of
the law points embraced in the decis-
ion.
CONCLUSIONS OF Law.
First. That the said Hiram Rodee,
John Tannehill and Samuel j. Mitch
ell, at the time of the appointment and
qualification of the r%elator, Henry e.
Mayhem, as register of deeds and coun-
ty clerk, acted as and were the board of
county commissioners &c facto of said
Sanborn county.
Second. That the acts of said board
in the appointment and qualification OF
the relator Henry E. Mayhem as regis:
ter of deeds and county clerk of said
Sanborn county are valid and binding
and that said Mayhem ever since the
23d day of July, 1883, has been entitled
to hold and exercise the office of such
register of deeds and county clerk and
should be put into full possession there.
of. ~
Third. That the defendant John o
Whiting is not entitled to said office
and should be ousted therefrom. Lei
Judgment be entered accordingly.

BECHTEL's BODY.
Found in Jim River Weighted Dow,
With Heavy Stones.

Mitchell special, IA party, con-
sisting of Sheriff Alterton, City Mar
shall Durell, DR.. Dundas, 1t. C. Preston.
and a number of citizens, went down to
Rockport this morning to attend the
inquest on the body found in the James
river yesterday afternoon, and then
supposed to be the remains of the mis-
sing John Schmidt. The inquest was
held before the coroner of Hanson
county. Sheriff Belts, Of Hanson coun-
ty, and Drs. Conlan and Duston. of AL
exandria, were also present. The body
was first noticed yesterday afternoon
by a fisherman, and was found about
100 feet below the mill-dam, with one
hand floating above the water. The
body was held down. by three heavy
stones aggregating 255 pounds. The
stones were bound to the body byanew
rope; n fastened around the neck,
n around the waist, and the third
around the legs. The only clothing on
the body when found was q coarse
shirt, a pair Of overalls, and a handker-
chief tied around his leg. An exami-
nation of the body before the jury fail
ed to convince them of its identity, but
persons intimately acquainted with
both John Schmidt and Mich elBech-
tel, assert positively that the body Is
not thatof Schmidt but that of Michael
Bechtel, who was accused of numbering
Schmidt. 1t will be remembered that
when Schmidt first came up missing,
suspicion rested on Bechtel at that
time. After Bechtel was released from
custody on bail, on the charge against
him Of fraudulently contesting land, it
was rumored that the Germans of the
neighborhood, headed by a few leaders
from Mitchell, took Bechtel out Of his
shanty and lynched him at dead Of
night. Little attention was pafIdto the
report, till the body found last evening
was recognized to be Bechtel's by a
number of his neighbors.. The body
was greatly decomposed, ard the feat
ures could not be recognized; but the
form Of the skull, the teeth, marks on
the breast and leg, together with the
clothing, were recognized by Bechtels
brothers and others. They affirm that
all these M rksidentify the body beyond
doubt, as. that of Michael Bechtel. This
gives rise to new rumors in regard to
the lynching OF, .Bechtel, but the state
ments are SO contradictory and indef-
mite that nothing certain can be reached
till the whole matter is Gully investi-
gated by the officers. 1t is understood
that a number Of persons suspected Of
participating in the lynching would be
arrested. A person now in the county
Jail, named Green, says he saw John
Schmidt at Faribault, Mimi, some time
after he was missed here, and efforts are
being made to trace upSchmidt if alive,
If Schmidt is found and the body estab-
lished beyond doubt to be that of Bech-
tel, a number Of persons in this country
will be implicated il one OF the most
brutal and outrageous murders on: rec.
ord. At all events, q terrible murder
has been committed, audit only requires
the tracing up Of cleWs now in posses
sion of the authorities to bring the
criminals to justice.-Press & Dakota

Arthur's 900 Wives.

We most always have some Indians
here, says a Washington letter writer.
They want to see the President once in
a while, and the President and Secreta-
ry of the Interior want to see them.
The Indians always have d good time.
They are brought here in good style,
carefully shown all the attractions Of
town, and lionized by the people of a
certain sort Of society. They don't usu-
ally get what they come for; but they
always get something, and sometimes
it seems better than the thing asked
for. Some New Mexico indians, re-
Gently at the capital, carried back with
them ideas somewhat more extravagant
than usual. They began the story with
the remark that President Arthur was
the wealthiest man in the world; that
in his great treasury gold and silver
We're as plentiful as the sands on the
plains of New Mexico, and that in his
great store-house the President has 200
wives, who have nothing else to do but
count out paper money for him all day
long.

The Growing Crops.

Reports from various points in the
Northwest regarding the crops are
most encouraging. Grain; of all kinds
is looking well, and corn, particularly,
is further advanced than ever before
at this season. The only exception to
the general satisfactory progress is in
the vicinity Of Shakopee, where it has
rained quite hard for several days.
Farmers think they have enough, and
are praying for it to STOP The wealth
er in the vicinity of Rochester has been
cool, and corn, while looking well, is
not growing as rapidly as IN other parts
Of the state. Some of the seed planted
in that locality was bad and failed to
come up.-Pioneer Press.

Dakota's Fertility and Healthfulness

Much has been said and written
about Dakota, and one cannot pick up
a paper: but there is something said
about this great northwestern terrific,
ry. Facetious editors have tried to rid
icule the country by publishing extrav-
agant stories about the soil, climate
and general character of the country,
calling it the banana belt andthe goose
orchard; but the fact still remains that
Dakota has climate less rigorous than
Minnesota or northern Iowa, a soil I'M
surpassed for fertility even in the ia
nous valleys Of Ohio or the corn regions
of Illinois, and as beautiful a prairie
country as the sun ever shone upon.
The endless tide of settlers who are
pouring in to occupy the free homes of
the territory, the thousands of excur-
sionists and tourists who are visiting
the country all testify to its great beau
ty, the fertility of the soil and the mild
ness and healthfu!ness Of the climate,
