Two Lingering Deaths.

A very sad event happened IN Blllsport
on Friday. A party known as L. A.
Gerber and his brother started down
from Bismarck the day before, having
hidden themselves away in nice, cool
place meath load of lumber. On arriv
ing in town Il party of friends gathered
to receive them, and, as the poor fellows
were tired, they were assisted to alight
and were shown to a shady and secluded
spot where they might for time rspose.
Soon after their retirement one of the un-
fortunate brothers was attacked and was
struck over the head several times in a
cruel and ferocious manner. So heavy
were the blows that hole was made in
the skull and the unhappy stranger also
began to bleed violently from the nose.
A number of friends and old acqnaint-
ances OF the family soon gathered to feel
the pulse of the doomed visitor, and the
sentiment was general that he could not
long survive the rush of blood to the
head. 1t was also noticed that he frothcd
continuously ut the mouth. While the
bright sun was still high in heaven, with
q choking sigh and spasmodic gurgls he
passed away, amid the profound SORROW
aud sure-enough regrets of the assembled
company. The remaining brother yielded
up his young life III much the same way,
though his sufferings We're more prolonged.

Moss and His Hnrses.

The Moss horse herd left town last Sat
urday en- rou te to Eureka. E. G. Camp
bell and J. L. Boutillier were late pur
chasers, each taking two animals. Rob
ert Dickson went to Eureka with the out
fit. Eeighty odd head stampeded during
tho thunderstorm Sunday night, down
in the Holland Settlement, and it took a
day and half to get them back. There
was much disappointment along Beaver
Creek and in the Settlement over the ami
mails beng reserved for the Eureka mar
ket, and Dickson says he believes the
whole herd could have been sold out be.
fore they reached the southern border of
Emmons. The reason why no more were
sold in the county Is this While Mr..
Moss was here the sheriff OF Mcpherson
county came up. Mr.. NJ. had been a
long time absent from his home a,
Yankton, and was homesick. The sheriff
offered to take him to Eureka so he con.
cluded to go down there, jump on the
cars, hurry to Yunkton, visit day or two
with Mrs. Moss and the little Moses, and
get back 10 Eureka to meet the herd
This gave rise to the absurd report ii
lower Emmons that Mr.. N. had been ar
rested and carted oil by the aforesaid
sheriff. Horsethieves, it should be re-
membered, do not sell on fifteen months
time

THERE are many Republicans in the
West aud Northwest who believe that
certain customs duties should be lowered
These men are not radicals or dsstruc-
tlonists. They do not want free trade.
They believe an abolition Of all customs
duties would ruin this country. Even
Congressman Nelson, Of Minnesota, is
becoming alarmed at the aggressiveness
OF the Demoe ratio ee-traAers. Yet it is
by the help Of Republican tariff
reformers that the Democrats hope to
re- elect Grover Cleveland. In this, how
ever, they will be sadly mistaken.
Even were the Republicans squaroly an
tagonistic to any reform of the tariff,
northern men who believe in tariff revis-
ion would choose the lesser evil rather
than again place the Democrats in power
in national affairs. The loyal North,
while willing to let bysancs be bygoncs,
have not taken kindly to the course OF
the ex-rehels in Congress. They see NC
reason why the solitl~South, with the as
sistance of two or three doubtful north
ern states, should longer dominate II ma,
ton they sought to destroy. Democracy,
thou hast been tried and condemned, ant
