The proper apportionment of del

Republican Campaign Club.

TO the Republicans of Miles City and
Custer County.
The undersigned, committee APP
pointed by proper authority for the
purpose of organizing campaign club
of Republican voters, desire to call the
attention of all members of the party in
this locality to the urgent need of such
an organization. The Republicans
of Custer county cast at the last elec.
tion 6S6 votes, 81 of which were cast
In this city. With such respectable
showing, no doubt largely increased
since the campaign Of two years ago,
it seems to be q duty devolving upon
all who look for party success 10 organ
ize, and that so perfectly, that when
the time comes for work the leaders
will know what material they have to
work with, and individual members
can by performing special duties to
which they may be assigned 30 tighten
the burdens of the campaign. and ease
it of complications that success will
surely attend our efforts. In union
there is strength, and nowhere does
this proverb find such forcible applica-
tion as in the conduct Of political
campaign. A slipshod campaign,
loosely conducted and without organ
ization, excit.s no enthusiasm except
among those directly or indirectly in
terested In the issue. The average
American citizen Is prone to sit on
the fence, thinking that his mind is
made up, but liaLle to be swayed by
plausible talker at the last moment.
The protection against this is enlist
ment In the campaign club. Once q
member and in attendance at its
meetings, enthusiasm Is aroused by
eloquent speakers, who present the
issues Of the campaign to the unthink-
ing voter, in clear and forcible light,
and show him his duty 80 plainly that
he is no longer laggsrd but an earn
est soldier In the cause, pressing for
ward eagerly fer victory. Both our
city and county are largely Republi-
can IL the vote can be called out, and
stripped Of sympathetic tendencies.
This we propose to do and to that end
earnestly request all Republicans to
meet at the court house In Miles City
on Saturday evening. August l4th, at
s o'clock, to aid in forming the first
Republican club in Custsr county.

One of the most remarkable human Gu
riosities ever seen has Just been exam
ined by NJ. de Quatrefages, the French
naturalist. He is Provincial named
Simeon Aignier, and is thirty years old.
Aignicr, thanks to his peculiar system of
muscles and nerves, can transform him
self in most wondrous fashion. At one
moment, assuming the rigidity of a
statue, his body may be struck sharply,
the blows falling as on block of stone.
At another he moves his intestines from
above and below and right and left into
the form of large football, and projects
it forward, which gives him the appear
ance of colossally stout parsonage. He
then withdraws it into the thorax open.
ing like q cage, and the hollow look OF
his body Immediately reminds one of a
skeleton. Aignier successfully initiates
man subjected to the tortures of the
rack, as also a man hanging himself, and
assumes q strikingly cadaverous look.
What most astonished NJ. de Quatrefages
was the stoppago of the circulation OF
the blood, now on the left and now on
the right side, which was effected by
muscular contraction.

THE SOUTHERN FLOOD.
1t is Believed that the Death Roll Xvnl
Exceed $50.

ORANGE, Texas, Oct. II, 1SS6.-The steam.
er Emily P. returned at 8 O'Clock this after
noon, bringing 100 additional sufferers from
Johnson's bayou who are entirely destitute,
Most of the crowd consisted of women and
children. The Emily P. will return to the
bayou Immediately to bring back
15O Z more persons who are waiting
there, and who are now homeless,
penniless and without clothing. We now
have to take care of 2l0 persons from that
section. The corrected list of the drowned
at Johnson's bayou, as near as can be OBJ
TONED this evening, is as follows:
Whites-Mr. F. Gallon, wife and grand.
son, eight children Of Sam Brown, Mrs. E
Fanchet's four children, Joseph G. Kuke'
wife and seven children, four
g fFank Gosr Tanners anne esa children cS,,dAnn, Mrs
Mrs. Joe Luke, four of George Stephens
children, Mrs and William Ferguson and
four children, Mrs. George Smith and four
children, Mrs Shell Wagley and four children,
Mrs. Afford Lambert and two children, Mr..
Berry and daughter, Alphose Degard, Adam
Smith and one child.
Colored-Henry Johnston, wife and three
children, Mrs. Jack Lewis, Dick Hambrick,
wife and four children, and James Lewis.
b Only few of these bodies were recovered
on the trip. We have two steamers two
schooners and about % small boats doing ac-
tive work in gathering up the suffering and
6uTying the dead from Sabine pass and the
bayou.
A dispatch from Beaumont, Tex, says:
Refugees from the flooded district about
Sabine pass continue to arrive on every
small craft that comes up the river. 1t is
estimated here by persons who have been
over the scenes of devastation at Sabine
pass Johnson's bayou and Taylor's bayou,
that the death list will exceed $50 souls
Eighty-fve corpses have been recovered and
buried around Johnson's bayou, and 81 bod
les thus far have been buried
at Sabine, while 66 white and
colored persons are still missing at Sabine
and these are of course dead, as it would be
impossible for any human being to survive
so long in the swamps and lagoons without
food or shelter. Parties who returned today
from the Johnson's Bayon district say that
60 persons are still missing there, and the
searching parties have almost reached the
conclusion that many of those missing wero
drowned and their bodies carried out to sea
bY the recedinU waves.

Mrs. Whites Snake Skin,

Mrs. John White, living few miles from
this village, has mounted rattlesnake
skin, four feet and half long, with an
imperfect set of rattles in the tail, which
she is proud to show to visitors, while
relating how the snake, when alive, chased
her, although involuntarily, for nearly
half a mile, and kept up the chase even
after it was dead. Mrs. White was
standing by the roadside one warm day,
when she heard a rattlesnake sound its
''bells" Immediately behind her, and at
the same time felt tug at the skirt of
her dress. She looked around quickly
and saw that big rattlcsnake had struck
at her, and that it's fangs were fast in the
bottom of her dress. Mrs. White started
on a run for home. The snakes fangs
were so securely fastened in the dress
that the snake was carried along Mrs.
White ran so fast that the rattlesnake
was whipped and snapped about like the
tail of kite.
The house was almost half mile away,
and when Mrs. White reached her door
she was SO much overcome by the run
and her fright that she tainted on the
doorstep. Her daughter ran out. When
she saw the snake, with its fangs fast in
her mothers dress, and her mother ly-
ing pale on the step, she supposed the
snake had bitten her mother and killed
her, and the girl ran screaming to a
neighbor's, half a mile further on, where
she alarmed the household with the news
that her mother had been killed by 9
rattlesnake. A man ran back to Whites.
Mrs. White had revived sufficiently to
| drag herself into the house. The snake
was dead, and still fast in the dress. The
threshing on the stones and against the
ground had beaten the life out of it and
broken off the lower part of its rattles.
Seven were left, from the size and grada.
tion of which it was calculated that the
perfect set contained at least thirteen.
The snake was skinned and mounted, and
has ever since been an object of great
curiosity in the community, The shock
to Mrs. White Frustrated her for several
days. -Neo York San.

Building a Bridge Against Time.

A recent issue of the New York San
says: A span of the Dundee bridge OF
the New York, Susquehanna and West
ern Railroad collapsed the week before
last. A temporary bridge on spilcs was
to be built by midnight OF last Thurs,
day. The bridge engineers of the road
said it could be built by that time. On
every siding of the road-which is a sin
gle track from Jersey City to the coal
regions, were coal trains and freight
trains. Orders were 81, en- to move every
train at midnight on Thursday, and the
completion of the bridge on time became
matter of necessity.
As fast as the spiles of the bridge were
driven the string pieces and rails were
laid The last spike was driven home
just few minutes before 10 o'clock, and
there was not time enough left to take
down and remove the steam spile driver
So this high frame work was chopped
down like tree, and the boiler and en-
gine tumbled over the bridge into the
river. Ten minutes of time was of more
value than $1,000 worth of machinery.
