ABERDEEN, OAK, Sept. 10.-A hunting
party Of gentlemen from Nashville and
Southern points came in this evening on
special train, bringing the body of G.
Hooper Phillips, ex-mayOr of Nashville,
Tenn, and senior member of the largest
mercantile establishment of that city, who
was accidentally shot by James
Raines while hunting ducks at Nine
Mile lake, north of Britton, to-day. The
party was distributed around the lake con-
cealed in the high grass, Mr.. Phillips being
about one rod from Mr.. Raines. The latter
rose to lire at flock of ducks. Just as the
second shot was fired Mr.. Phillips rose and
received the charge between the
eyes, which passed through his
head and blew the top of the
skull off. The remains are being prepared
here this evening and will be taken to
Nashville for interment. The whole party
is overcome with sorrow at the sad accl-
dent. The wife of the unfortunate man
has been notified by telegram. The party
is one gotten up by Cliff Kennedy,
southern passenger agent of the Milwaukee
road, and are all men of wealth and stand
ing i'll the cities from which they come.
The Nashville party left at 10 tonight
for the South over the Milwaukee road, via
st. Paul. arriving at Nashville Monday

WASHINGTON, Sept 10.-Political straws
blown from all parts of the territory indi-
cate that Judge Clifford is being misled by
one of the shrewdest and most successful
still hunts ever worked in Dakota. In
deed, he has been travelling with trusted
friend and telling all of his plans and hopes
and fears to that man, when the fact is
that fellow is one of the workers of the
combination which is intended to down
Clifford. 1t is quoted against Clifford that
he rode forty miles on a train with his
intimate friend, eX-delegate Pettigrew, and
never knew that Pettigrew was Oh the
train. That does not speak very well for
the wide awakeness of the judge The
other fellows say that he is blind. They
do not say anything against him, but they
do say that he is too cOnfding and unsus-
picious to be good politician. They ali
claim to be able to run all around him, and
never let him know that there is any enemy
near. Yet all unite in saying kind things
of him and to him. There can be no doubt
that Clifford is one of the faireSt and best
men the Republican party contains; but the
trouble seems to be that he is Over-confident
in his prospects, and therefore the more
liable to fall an easy victim to the devices
and chicanery of his opponents.

WASHINGTON, Sept 1O.-Maj. Edwards.
of Fargo, is the ableSt and shrewdest of all
the Republican candidates. He persists in
saving that he is not candidate, and that
be is booming Harrison Allen with all the
boomablity of his Argus. But it is evident
to man up a tree that the major is merely
using Allen as a stool pigeon. All Allen
delegates are to be used for Edwards in the
convention. Yet, the while, the major
shreks aloud against the incredulity of his
editorial brethren. He regards himself as
an abused man because his friends persist
in naming him as a candidate after he has
declared to the contrary. The handsome
and able leader of his party in the North
has been known to be mistaken as to his
own mind. in various matters hitherto, and
he should not blame those who know him
for doubling him now. He is probably
sincere, but does not know his own mind,
any more than he knew what he wanted on
the capitol commission matter. He is for
getful, but his fOrgetfulnesS never inures
to his hurt. The major is likely candi-
date. So is Hugh j. Campbell.

ABERDEEN. Oak, Sept. 1O.-The railroad
artesian well is again plugged up and W. E.
Swan, of Andover, is on hand with his appara-
tus drilling. The obstruction seems to be
about seven hundred and fifty feet from the
the surface. .Encampment week is over

preparations for next year. The encamp-
ment was a success in every respect and the
guards seemed well satisfied with the well
come given them by the city. Not as many
visitors were present as was anticipated,
but nevertheless the streets were fairly
crowded, especially during the evening".
From what could be lear ned during the en-
campment there will be strong efforts made
to have next years gathering take place at
Yaukton. This will probably bring out strong
opposition from North Dakota. South D1-
kota is surely more entitled to it than any
other part of the territory, it being held at

From Bismarck to Yankton.

YANKTON, Dak., Sept. 10.-There is a
scheme on foot among the politicians of
South Dakota and the Black hills for the
removal of the capital from Bismarck to
Yankton, during the first days of the ses-
sion of the legislature. United action can
be had OH its removal to Yankton. as this
would only be temporary selection, and
it is quite probable that ere the close of the
session permanent site may be selected.
Central Dakota possesses several very de-
Sirable points for the territorial capital, and
is the earnest wish of the people OF Yank-
ton that one of these towns will be made
the permanent seat of government during
the coming winter.

Current street Philosophy.

The most dangerous men never drink.
If no money was spent foolishly half the
world would be out of work.
A man who talks about himself is some
times fool but seldom slanderer.
Politicians ought to learn to sing, and see
if they cannot keep harmony in their par
ties.
Good fellows are not always the best cti-
zens. especially if they get too numerous in
town.
People who work hard do not look for
soft places to sleep; it is the idle who have
to coax Morpheus.
Pigs pay better than mines for steady
business the world over, although both be
sailed after death.
Men who look for fights are generally ac-
commodated where the peaceable could go
through unscathed.
Public opinion can only be relied upon to
change. but what new form it will take is
always a matter Of doubt.
The ulan who has nothing to do generally
telephones to busy people to see if they
will go on ali erfand for him.
Chronic grumbierS are like flies in butter;
they do not ruin what they mix with, but
they spoil the symmetry Of the scene.
People who have no children OF their own
seem to take delight in borrowing a few
from neighbor if they expect to get into
crowd.
If professional musicians would play
tune once in while, instead OF showing
how many different puzzles they can make
out Of notes, the general public would be
more apt to patronize concerts.
When good man dies ne leaves the world
the richer for mis- example; when one who
had nothing but money is mustered out he
leaves a legacy of heart-burning to his rela-
tives, and the lawyers divide up his other
assets
People are always ready to patronize free
shows. and almost everything else that they
can get for nothing; but no one ever heard
of their killing themselves with drink at a
public hydrant. In fact. they will pass
one by and go and purchase the same water
with little gas in IL.

Probably he was renominated because the

is possibly better to have an innocent. inof-

wicked one, such as Michigan has. The

thing. The state had been governed for
twenty years by parties who have formed
rings and antagonized people. A change
seems desirable. No government is safe
but that which is ruled by the people. He
hoped to see no division for policy's sake,
as straight forwardness was the only safe
method. He stood ready to meet any issue
