Sioux Falls, Oak, Oct, g.

Sioux Falls, Dak., Oct. 3.-The
republican county convention was
held here this afternoon and devel-
oped good deal of bad blood. Pet
tigrew having captured the city
caucus, there was a square fight be-
tween his city delegates, with some
recruits from the country delegates
generally. The opening skirmish
was upon the selection of perma-
nent chairman, and the Pettigrew
forces we're successful by a majority
of 4, through miscount it is al
legged. Pettigrew addressed the
convention and said he was opposed
to the system of taxation of the rail-
roads gross earnings. The property
of corporations should be taxed the
same as that of private citizens, and
he would favor q bill prohibiting the
members of the legislature and
Judges from accepting railroad pass
Ies. The country delegates oppos-
Ing Pettigrew were. in point Of fact
in a slight majority, but failed at
every point, through lack of a proper
leadership and unfamiliarity with
political tactics. The Pettigrews
delegates in the convention carried
a resolutionSin favor of PettigreW
as a candidate for the council. The
andidates for members Of the lower.
house were conc ceded to the farmers.

varieties Of the cereals grown in
Dakota. watermelons, squashes, ap.

cock is of its new feathers, but they are
not the ones l indorse and they really
do bring the mustache into disrepute.
There are few faces which are not i'm
proved bya carefully cultivated mus
tache, and / think when mustache
signifies anything at all it is something
creditable. Of course there are mus
aches which are as void of expression
as the moss on dead log, and don't
mean that every mustache Is an advo-
cate for its wearer, but most are. Some
mems faces remind me of a royal Ben
gal tiger, and all such are very wise to
wear a mustache, which they usually
can do. The stiff, brusque, military
mustache always adds dignity to its
pcssessor. and the man who can wear
an iron-gray mustache should be, |
think, an object of envy to his sex.
The mustache brushed back and up I
don't like. 1t makes a man look too
tiippant. The mustache clipped even
with the lips gives man a sinister air.
The extravagantly long mustache is
sure indication of inordinate vanity,
and the pointed mustache is an exh BIZ
ton of pitiful weakness or painful snob-
berry. The most interesting mustache
is the young mans first, and the most
delightful is the silky mustache of the

Danger in Barbed Wire.

In recent discussions. both at the East
and in the Western States, on the use
of barbed wire for farm barriers. much
was said by some of the speakers on the
danger to domestic animals, and espec-
tally to young horses, with which the
use of this wire is attended, and cases
were described where horses were badly
lacera ed and bled to death. Yet. not
withs anding these formidable draw
backs, so great is the saving in expense,
and so effic ent and durable are fences
made of barbed wire, that they can not
be prohibited, and farmers would not
submit to any attempt to suppress their
use. E 81. EE
The question, therefore, comes up:
Is there any way 10 remove the Ob'ec-
ton, and to prevent the harm which
barb d wire causes? We answer decid-
eddy in the affirmative, and are sur
prised at the slow progress which
knowledge of the modes of prevention
has made. We have used the wire for
years. and never found the least diff
Guilty or danger. There are several
modes. For smooth, nearly level fields,
pillow deep furrow on each side of the
wire fence, or rather pillow seve al fur
rows, so as to make one broad and deep
one on either side, throwing as much
earth with the pillow as practicable to-
wards the line of posts, and finishing
the work by cleaning out by hand the
ditch thus made. This work is per-
formed at comparatively little cost,
and has the three advantages of
draining the line, banking against the
posts SO that they need not be set so
deep, and making a visi b,e barrier which
will induce horses to check their speed
and stop before they reach the fence.
They will not pitch heedlessly into a
ditch and against bank. They are
always brought up before they reach
the line. Another dvantage is that the
as two bottom boards, and smaller
plete the fence above.
Another mode, where there are plenty
of scattered or cobble stone over the adj
jacent fields, is to make with them low
flat wall, say about two feet high; set
the posts in the line of this wall, and
attach the barbed wire to them The
wall becomes visible barrier, and will
repel the approach of the animals, for
they have a special dislike to step on q
mass of small stones.
A third mode is to place two or three
wires inside of hedge, the branches
and stems of which will hold the wires
in place as the hedge increases in
growth. A poor, thin hedge, of small
growers, is thus made into an efficient
barrier, and the hedge is sufficiently
visible. Strong growing hedge plants
are not wanted for this purpose, for it
would require too much labor to keep
them cut into proper shape. There are
other modes for removing the danger,
but some of the preceding may be en-
ployed in nearly all cases, and the fences
will be comparatively cheap in con-
