George f. Edmunds should be his own
successor.
Lyman w Fish of Ira, who represented
his town in 1882, and who has held many
town offices, says 81 am decidedly III
favor of Senator Edmunds."
lockwood Barrett, Esq, of Rutland
who was in the house in 1884, and took a
leading position, says at is my opinion
that Vermont cannot do better than to re
turn Senator Edmunds to the United
States senate. In this connection let me
say that during the last presidential cam
paign was an out and out Blaine man"
f.. W. Gray of Middletown, one of its
foremost business men, representative
of the town IN lSS2, SAYS yes, by all
means return Mr. Edmunds. We cannot
afford to lose his influence and experience
at this time. The opposition to him seems
to ARISE from pure sellishuess and Is sim
ply local, and will have but little support
by the people at the polls.
Hon. Walter r.. Howard Of Fair Haven,
senator in 1880 says | think That the de
feat of Mr.. Edmuuds would lie Il misfOr-
tune to the country, a calamity to the
state Il disaster to the republican party.
Daniel W. Taylor of Sherhurne, assist
ant judge of the county court, says II
am in favor of the reelection of Hon.
George f. Edmunds to the United states
senate. Vermont cannot afford to lose his
valuable service"

Edmunds. am for Senator Edmunds

f. G. Denuisou of Pittsford, a leading
business man, for many years postmaster
and member of the republican county
committee says II hope and think that
Senator Edmunds will be returned to the
senate. 1t would be a calamity if he was
not"
And so on through the list. The repub-
leans of Rutland county mean to look
carefully to the selection of senators and
representatives, and to see to it, that they
are not misrepresented on this, TO them,

Drowned at sioux city

Sioux City, june 2S-While bathing
in the Floyd river near the city Sunday
morning, Albert NJ. Miller, late of
Wayne, Neb., but formerly of Rochelle,
Lee county ILL.,, was drowned. Miller,
with several companions, was stopping
at the Central house over Sunday, and
west to the river about ten O'Clock,
John King was the first to enter tho
water. When he was about half way
ecrosa the stream Miller jumped in and
began swimming quite rapidly towards
him. King soon heard Miller exclaim,
~ can't make it," He shouted seceno
time, and King SEW him disappear. But
she reappeared almost Immediately
the former though he was fooling and
30 kept on. Immediately after, another
startling cry, 81 am drowning" was
heard, and Miller went down, for the
last time. The alarm was Immediately
gwen and Il. f. Young, an expert
swimmer, by heroic effort succeeded
finally in raising the body. Lifs was
entirely extinct, however. The deceased
was about twenty-three years years OF
age and came here from Wayne. The
parents of the drowned man were at
once telegraphed concerning the sad
event, and sent instructions to send the
! body to their homo in Illinois.

to the recent report from Sioux Falls
that civil war. was being threatened
by those known rs the statehood con-
spirgtors. There is not q word of truth
In the report said Mr.. Clifford, I never
heard word of it until read it in the
World OF yesterday. The Sioux Falls
Argus, the paper starting the report. is
known in the territory as journal de-
veted to sensations. 1t is alleged to be
u democratic organ, but in fact l would
term it dynamite sheet, When l tell
you tho trutL that there is not in the
whole territory 5000 worth of arms and
munitions of war it does not look as if
very formidable resistance could be
made, even were there any necessity.
My opinion is that the rumor was started
for the purpose of having some influence
upon congress in preventing anything
favorable from being said or done upon
the subject OF the proposed admission
OF the southern half of the torritory.rs 1t
is true that the statehood advocates
are in earnest, but their enthusiasm
does not embrace anything other than a
peaceful ambition to have the division
made and admission to the sisterhood of
states upon these terms. The talk of a
organization is as absurd as id
is untrue. One good policeman with
club can 60 through the territory and
set at defiance all the warlike organiza-
tions in the territory"

National R0ard OF Health.

Washington, June 2s-In none of the
appropriation bills SO far passed has
provision been made for the continuance
of that gratutlous and unnecessary body
known as the national board of health,
1t was organized during the last yellow
fever epidemic, and did good service
but IL 1882 congress provided that the
appropriation for the prevention and
suppression of contagious diseases
should be expended under the direction
OF the secretary OF the treasury. Judge
Falger overlooked the national board si
health entirely and placed
the appropriation in charge OF the
Marine hospital service. between whom
and the board there has ever been q
bitter rivalry Although il had nothing
to do, the board has continued its or

into which Dakota is drifting under ths
imminence of pending legislation after
the Springer plan.
The situation calls for renewed astiv-
ity upon the part of the state league,
which is the only organized
body now standing between Dakota
and the oonsummation of disastrous
scheme. The league is loyal to the
interests of south Dakota and south
Dakota needs the intervening power of
organized loyalty in the face of this new
danger.
Mr. Springer announces that his bill
will be brought to vote in the house
before the session closes. A vote IN the
house means it's passage by that body.
and then we will have only the doubt
ful fealty to division of the republican
majority in the senate between us and
its enactment.
