The Republican congressional copva

The Republican congressional conven-
tion, now in session at YaDkton will
probably not got to baIloting before to-
morrow as there are number of con-
tests to be settled. Gifford's friends
claim that he will be nominated on the
first ballot, while the opposition claim
that he will go into the convention with
only 100 votes to 2lo in opposition and
sixty-four doubtful and contested. The
opposition claim that there is a good
chance of nominating Gen'l. Allen Of
Fargo or Judge Palmer of Sioux Falls
with chances in favor Of the latter.

cattle had increased only 10 pr cent,

The United States citizens requires $50 \

The demand for our meat products is
not only increasing, but this increase Is
a growing and permanent one. Can it y
be met? Probably not. Already we lack
in numbers Of productive stock and from
the west the great source of supply-for

complaint Of oyerstocking. At first this
was received as the cry Of some alarmist
who was seeking to highten soms timid
people into withdrawing from the cattle
business and to deter Others from entaf-
ing upon it, but now. after two conseeu-
tive winters and one summer Of heavy
losses it begins to be seen that really
many Of the ranches are 3oyerstocksd.
There can be no expansion, therefore,
in that direction. But an increase can

THE WAGES o. SIM"
As Gold is Tried by Fire, So the Heart Must
be Tried by Pain.

As Gold Is Tried by Fire, So the Heart M us
be Tried by Pain.
This extraordinary great play will be pro
dueed in this city, at Blacks Opera House
next Saturday evening, Feb. 20, with casi
never before seen on any stage. Among
the noted people are Charles C. Maubury,
Mark Price, Miss Eleanor Carey, Miss
Susie Russell (sister of the famous Lillian
Rasselp &c. The company just closed a
long engagement in New York and here is
what the New York Tribune says;
THE production of The Wages of Sin,
at the Fourteenth Street Monday night, was
attended with results that must have been
most gratifying to the projectors, Messrs.
Maubury and 0verton. The melodrama.
which is brimful of telling situations and
dramatic incidents; was watched with close
attention, and applause was frequent and
spontaneous.
The Wages of Sim is replete with hu-
man interest, and the motives and language
of the people in the story are not oyer-ex-
aggerrated. The plot is related forcibly and
simply. The development is natural and
the ends of sequence and probability are
carefully conserved. Mr.. Harvey's talent
for Characterization is unusually pro-
nounced. The painter and mechanic have
no hand in the achievement. The dramas
effectiveness solely depends upon the
strength of its plot and the capability of
its actors. Indeed, no recent melodramatic
production can approach The Wages of
Sim in respect 10 genuine dramatic power
and intensity Of purpose.

When you ask them about trade they say,
''Oh, it's fair" but the large number Of in

day means something, and their mail nearly
always bring an oider from some city OIL
town in the state. A very large number OF
the pianos and organs sold never come to
this city, but are shipped direct to the agent

known over the state as a strong and hon,

Efhe ElisIer, In Her Latest Triumph,
Woman Against Woman.

On Friday and Saturday evening, Feb
ruary 10 and 20, with grand matinee Satur-
day afternoon, Effie Eilsler, supported by
the following well known artists: Mr.. Frank
Weston, Charles Foster, Mason Mitchell,
Harry Davenport Miss E. L. Davenport,
Miss Martha Earle, Miss Majorie Bonner
and others will be at the Grand. The press
speaks as follows while her stay in Boston:
Miss Effie Ellsler closed her one weeks
engagement here last evening. The per-
formance of the drama, Woman Against
Woman might-if it had been possible
have been continued a month longer to the
profit of manager and star alike, and GER
tainly to the general satisfaction Of the
patrons of this theatre.
'Woman Against Woman" is essentially
a play for the people; it is romance of
homely life; touches of pathos, passion and
humor deftly woven together in dramatic
harmony.
Miss Effie EIlsler is seen at her best as the
heroine, and Mr.. Frank Weston as the hus-
band ably supported her.

Yesterday Lawrence Gibson, youth
about twelve years old, met with an ex
ceedingly painful accident near his home Oh
South Market street. About month age
he broke his left arm by fall at the rink
and the arm was still lame and
sore. He was walking on stills and
one of them slipped from under
him. He fell heavily to the pavement,
breaking his right arm just above the wrist
in such manner that the bone protruded a
couple of inches through the lacerated
flesh. The plucky little fellow walked
home, and while the arm was beng set
never uttered groan, though he tainted
three times from sheer agony.
