STEALING THUNDER.
The Resolutions RaiIroaded


Through by the Republicans.
ssCharley Nilnocks did not write the
resolutions that introduced in the
county convention on Monday" said
John Waldo Perkins, yesterday, "and
he did not have hand i'll them, either"
'Who wrote them?"
~ wrote them myself, and l don't
like the way they went through the
convention, either"
Those resolutions were in relation to
the fees received by county officers. and
declared the system to be unjust" in
equitable and against the interests of
the people" When introduced, there
was a prompt motion 10 table them, but
E. NJ. johnson gave wink and sue
ceeded in pulling down most
of those who promptly rose to
vote aye. The wink was passed
around and the resolutions went through
in hurry and without comment. The
intention of disposing Of these resolu-
tions so as to cause no comment, was
readily apparent and the insincerity of
the convention was no less marked.

sCHMITZ is FOR sCHEFFER.
But He Says 1t Is as a Democrat
Nav Re

May Be.
The story that Albert Scheffer has
opened headquarters in the st. James
hotel is not exactly true, nor is the
story true that j. p. Scmitz, of Fergus
Falls, is in charge. Col. Schmitz is at
the st. James hotel, and Room 42 is his
headquarters, which gave rise to the
stories. A large group codld be found
in the room at any hour yesterday, but
the conversation was limited to general
politics. To GLOBE reporter Col.
Schmitz said:
''Any report that l am not a Demo
crat OF have sold out is absolutely false.
Albert Scheffer was always my second
choice for governor and Doe Ames my
first. AmeS was chlSeled out of the
nomination, and now [ propose to do
what l can for Scheffer. l don't hold
that in doing this l am forfeiting my
Democracy, and thousands will agree
with me. What / do say is that

opposed to Doran and Kelly, and the
only way to scotch them and purify the
party is to let it pass through the fire
of defeat. Albert Schetfer is nv per-
sonal friend, and l have an Acquaintance

tered at the Nicollet house Tuesday

Such a declaration is opposed not only
by that convention, but by every one of
its nominees. Virtually it pledged the
legislative nominees, to support bill
changing the system, but not one of
those nominees considers himself bound
by it.
The fact is that these resolutions were
merely clap-trap effort at thunder
stealing. The GLOBE had long ago de-
clared that the system by which three
county officers made each over $4,000 a
year was doomed, and the Prohibition
lists incorporated the same idea in their
platform, The Republicans are both
late and insincere. And they know it.

Hundreds will regretfully learn of the
death of Duke, the famous trick dog
owned by Mr.. Russell Tracey, of Camp
Carlin. Duke was one of the most in
telligent CANNES ever bred. 1t is said OF
especially well trained animals that they
can do everything but talk" OF this
class vas DYKE. Being kindly treated he
was gentleness itself. The most difficult
feats known to dog t~anciers were readily
learned and neatly performed by Duke.
AT a charitable entertainment in this city
upon one occasion, an exhibition by Duke
was on the programme. In accordance
with commands from his master he per-
formed owe 100 different tricks. Many
Of his accomplishments were practical
and useful. For instance no more trusty
messenger or faithful Waterman could be
secured, and when SO ordered he would
knock at the door of a house for admit
lance, hold or lead a horse, etc. He was
accidentally poisoned, eating meat placed
for troublesome cats. The man mean
enough to have wilfully caused Dukes
death would not be out of Jail a sufficient
period to commit the murder.

A sQUATTER.
An Incident In the Settlement o
Eastern Wyoming.


"
Messrs Joe Breckons and A. S. Mer-
Ger visited the Egbert ranch of A. Martin
yesterday, and were shown about the
premises and treated to a ride behind
Wapsie Chief, the t%rotting stallion. The
opportunities for observation were limit
ed, but one of the party related an incl
dent worthy Of note to a LEADER re-
porter last evening. Gazing out the car
window a most curious structure was OBJ
served in the distance, and speculation
was rife as to its nature and uses. One
offered to wager that it was a stray bal
loon, another thought it was an Indian
mound, while a third was certain that it
was one of the large wagons blown from
a corral last week. Nearing the enigma
a glance told that it was nothing more
nor less than a dismantled box car which
an lm%pecunious squatter had gained pos
session OF by some means and converted
into quite a comfortable abode. The set
tier and his family crowded to the side
door Of their red house, erstwhile a piece
of Union Pacific rolling stock, and waved
their hands at the passing train.
The gentlemen state that no better evil
dencc of the oft repeated assertion that
the farmers are pushing west, overflow
ing from Nebraska to Wyoming, can be
found than a view of the territory imme-
diately east of this city. Within a very
few miles of Cheyenne several hundred
hardy grangers have selected their future
homes, erected cabins and turned" a few
acres Of ground, with the intention of re-
naming and engaging in farming.

Copeland, the postage stamp thief taken
to the United States penitentiary at Lar
annie by Marshal Carr Monday, was six
feet, four inches tall, and when employed
as a bridge carpenter on the Union Pacific
was called "Tall Shorty" Mr.. Carr ex-
perienced some trouble in procuring a
uniform for his guest at the prison, a
pair Of pantaloons long enough for Tall
Shorty not being found in the job lot of
clothing furnished by the contractors. The
tailor of the institution finally came to
the rescue, and spliced two pairs of
trowsers for a neither garment for the tall
man.
