GEORGE AND

There is scarcely a doubt that our
present Senators will he continued in
office by the next Legislature. While
this is true, the people as they meet in
their Conventions should speak out
and declare their will on the subject.
Sometimes Legislators become very
cranky, and assume that the popular
will is different from what it really is.
When County Conventions express
their will, Legislators can not disre-
gard it without an open and shameful
betrayal of trust. Wetrust, therefore,
all the County Conventions, as they
assemble, will heartily endorse Messrs.
George and Walthall and thus give the
next Legislature explicit instructions
to re-elect them. Both of these dis
tinguished' Senators are worthy of this
compliment, and ii will be a fitting re-
buke to some, who have not h~esitated
to declare they are supporting a ring
candidate for Governor. Let the PEG
pie in their sovereign capacity answer
thech arge. Let them say well done
thou good and faithful servants. Lee
them say Mississippi has two Senator
that challenge comparison with thos,
of any State in the great Republic.

1t is important for all good citizens
of this county to know whether or not
their rights as citizens, are to be
paralyzed' by the corrupt use Of money.
We will state what is reported to us
as a fact that cannot be denied.
At Greenville Sheriff Beck stated to
some gentlemen, who were questioning
him about Warren county politics
that he could not be beaten
He declared that he hat
ten times as much money as all thu
other candidates put together, and tha'
he "hated to giveit up" but he would
do so to secure his election. He als(
declared Mr.. Rigby's means were al
his command, and intimated that he
would draw on "his bundle" If it be
came necessary. If he is not c%orrectl!
reported our columns are open to him
to put himself right befor the people
Since this the Democratic Club
have been called on to DE-
eide for or against Demo
cratic nomination, and some Demt
Gratis are reported as workin
directly in Beck's interest, that is, I
, get the party to surrender. 1t is NJ
therefore timely to warn all true Der

BECK's boys, perhaps right fresh
from the bari say: "Oh, there is no

selves and surrender the Democratic

Fort Levenworth special says, dis

General Martin, from commanding
officers in the territory, indicate no

they will not yield their arms without

The White Spar Mica Mine.
To be continued in our next. !

We CLEAN from the columns of the St.
Paul Pioneer Press an account of law
suit pending in the district court Of that
place which may be of local interest to
some of our readers:
''The case Of +. II. Stockman against
David Olmstead and others came up in
the district court yesterday, and will be
tried to-day. This is the notorious suit
over some mining stock Of the White
Spar Mica company. The action was
commenced last June, and created quite
commotion at the time. David Ohm
stead, Matthew Gallagher and f. l..
Kelly were made defendants. Accord
ing to the complaint Olmstead and
Gallagher each owned PIG shares Of the
stock of the Unca company, and there
were 562 shares held by other parties.
1t is charged that Olmstead represented
to Stoekman that a scheme could be
negotiated whereby he, Gallagher and
Stockman could secure a majority Of the
stock and control of the business.
Stockman fell in with the project and
fought stock. Olmstead agreed to carry
out the scheme or pay back to STOCK
man ms T2,oUU, or ne could nell his stock.
Olmstead further secured notes from
Stockman for $1,000, for the where
withal to buy up the other stock. 1t is
charged that Olmstead has wholly failed
70 carry out his agreement, and that the
whole affair was simply scheme gotten
up by Gallagher and Olmstead to de-
fraud the plaintiff. The notes and a
chattel mortgage it was alleged, were in
the hands of f. S. Kelly, Olmstead
claiming that they were transferred in
good faith and for consideration.
Stockman wanted a trustee appointed to
settle the matter up; judgment against
Olmstead for $2,500; against Kelly for
the amount Of the notes, and injunction
TO prevent Gallagher from disposing of
the stock held in trust. The filing of
the papers in court was the signal
for food Of denials and communica-
tions in the papers. DR.. Kelly insisted
that he was in no wise implicated in the
case and should not have been made q
defendant. He gained his point, the
court dismissing the case as against him
with the consent Of the plaintiff. Inter
esting developments may be looked for
on the trial.

BUFFALO GAP.


Buffalo Gap News
The residents Of Buffalo Gap can now
see the smoke and by the aid Of glass
the cars at the end Of the track. Miss
Johnston, Geo. Bolond's sister-in- law
was the first to discover this pleasing
fact.
From Mr.. Ditto, just in from the end
Of the track we learn that the bridge
across the Cheyenne river is progressing
finely and will be completed by the first
of next week and that the iron is still
on the bridge builders heels.
A visit TO the company's townsite last
Saturday disclosed the fact that the
ground is laid off with the center street
running from the depot west. The lots
are twenty-five feet wide, twenty lots tc
the block and the street is 100 feet in
width while those running north and
south are but eighty feet in width.
Justice Reno was called on Monday to
listened to the testimony and decide
whether Deputy Sheriff Riordan should
be bound over to appear before the
grand jury to answer to the charge o
manslaughter, in the shooting of Chas
Fugit. The case was concluded Tues
day with an argument on the part of the
prosecution and with none on the par
of the defendants counsel, resulting in
favor Of the defendant. The case viii
undoubtedly come before the distric
court at its next session and while We
have most decided opinion in regarC
to the the matter we shall refrain from
expressing it in print, until the law ha.
taken its course.
The following verdict was rendered
by the coroner's jury on last Friday.

The Shooting at Rapid.

On Wednesday evening word came
over the telephone to the effect that
Officer Wilson. the city marshal OF
Rapid City, had been shot and killed by
a cowboy by the name Of Jesse Borland.
Later came the following particulars:
There were three cowboys in saloon
slightly under the influence of liquor
who became noisy and disorderly. The
officer went in to quiet the disturbance,
and demanded the cowboys to give up
their pistols, as the law does not permit
them to carry arms while in the city.
This the cowboys refused to do, when
the marshal attempted to take them
away from them when they fred on
him. The marshal returned the fire,
shooting one of the cowboys in the
groin when the fireing became general
and the marshal fell, pierced with a
number of balls from the effect of
which he died in short time. We did
not get the name of the other cowboys,
but learn they are all under arrest
All of the foregoing we chronicle with
a great deal of regret. We knew
Marshal Wilson well. He was a fat,
genial. joke-loving man, Of more than
average intelligence and information as
he had been great traveller. Many
supposed he would be to kind and
lenient to fulfill the duties of the office
to which he was appointed, but he dis
appointed almost everybody by proving
himself a prompt, energetic and brave
officer, and az the sequel has proven, lie
was conscientious and determined en-
ough to lay down his life rather than
shrink from his duty in enforcing the
law.
Rapid City has thus far been fortunate
in the selection of her officers, and, al
though that town has bee the scene Of
many fights, common to all booming
western towns, but the pronptitude Of
her officers and citizens have always
been sufficient to nip every disturbance
in the bud, until this instance. Marshal
Wilson is the first man that has ever
been killed in Rapid City, and we hope
never to he called upon to chronicle an
ether.

Monday morning next from Madison

cordance with the request of Mrs. Nc
Clellan, there will be no military DEM
onstration, although ali the veterans
who served under the general have been
invited to attend the funeral. The fol-
lowing general order had been issued
War Department, Washington, Nov
with profound regret the secretary
Of war announces to the army the death
of Gen. George b. Mcclellan, formerly
major general commanding the armies
Of the United States, which occurred at
Orange, n. j., this morning. The name
and fame Of this distinguished soldier
and citizen is known and honored
throughout the republic. AS the organ
izer of the army Of the Potomac he
made it capable Of accomplishing great
deeds The lessons he gave it were
never forgotten, and the spirit with which
he animated it continued through all its
eventfnl history. subsequently, as its
leader he rendered great services to his
country. His pure and noble character,
his unselfish devotion and the duty he
performed in the hour Of peril. will
cause his memory ever to be cherished
with pride by the people Of the United
States. WILLIAM c. ENDIcorr,
Secretary of War
Thus one by one our great men are
passing away. The funeral was not
marked by any ostentatious parade like
that of Grant, yet who can say that a
feeling Of grief, regret and genuine
mourning has not touched just as many
hearts. The disease was neuralgia OF
the heart.

carried the illustration far enough to
give brief outline of the solution
theory. We say a brief outline, for
when you come to consider that there
are probably thousands of these COM
binations, and that these mineral we'd
dlngs and divorces and deaths are go
ing on all the time, save the word death
is misnomer, for in all the broad field
of nature there is no death, but simply
a change of condition, where everything
is striving to become something else
little higher in the scale. But this leads
us up to the doctrine of evolution, and
to-day that is not our theme SO we will
return to our subject and conclude by
saying as we said at the beginning of
this subject, the wisest of our scientists
know SO little. There has been no mind
yet given to the earth with breadth and
strength and capacity to grasp this sub
ject in its entirety. No human imagi-
nation vivid enough to picture it in
even tithe Of its details. We cannot
even the origin or cause Of
single one of these natural laws, We can
only note their action and that only in
part.

Sir William, the Ram.

Among those whose designations have
recently been accepted by the administra-
ton no one leaves his Office with deeper
regret than Judge Lawrence, the first comp
trolIer of the treasury. IF ever man
took delight in the privilege of writing and
publishing voluminous decisions upon
questions of greater or less moment, that
man was "Sir William the Ram" He is
going to practice law in Washington. 1t
must be a sad change to one of his aspira-
tions. The question has often been asked
as to how he came to be called "Sir
William the RAM" The story is that
when he was in Congress from Ohio, the
House was at night session considering
one of the appropriation bills, into which
somebody had injected several clauses putt
ing various dutable agricultural articles on
the free list, when Milton Saylor was
prompted to play joke on Lawrence. So,
slipping over on the Republican side Of the
House, he said, 'Lawrence, you live in a
big farming district, don't your" eyes"
said L. aWhy?" "Your people grow
good many sheep, said the wicked Saylor.
NOW, as bucJ dlO Ou bulc AICC-llcO pucAuCcc
why don't you move that hydraulic rams
be added to it? 1t would tickle the old
farmers awfulIy and make you mighty solid
with them hereafter. IF you don't South
ard or Ben LeFever will, " and so he left
him. IF Lawrence had had any time to
think, he would never have done it, for, of
course, he must have known what hy-
draulic ram was. But to head off Southland
and LeFeyer, both of whom had large
farming constituencies, would be triumph
indeed for a new member There had
been a good deal of ''cold tea absorbed
that night, and maybe that blurred the
Hon. Williams perceptions somewhat.
Anyhow he moved up toward the chair
man, and offered an amendment, which he
sent to the clerk to have read. 1t was
about as follows: ''That hydraulic rams
imported for the purpose Of improving the
breeds of sheep be admitted free of duty"
The House spent an hour laughing about
it, and Saylor only escaped with his life by
jumping the town.
