Burned by Lightning.

At about o'clock Tuesday morn
ing the residence of Thomas Brown
in Onida township, about 6 miles
south east of Clifton, was totally
destroyed by fire, together with part of
its contents, including the clothing of
the family. A heavy thunder storm,
accompanied by fierce lightning, pass
ed over this part of the county Tues
day morning, and 1T Is supposed the
house was struck by lightning as no
other cause can be assigned. 1t is
customary for the Browns to enter a
cave, made for that purpose, whenever
they see storm coming and they
were in this cave at this time, and
knew nothing of the fire until too late
TO extinguIsh it. The greater portion
of the household goods were removed
but many valuables and much of their
clothing could not be reached, Their
loss is quite heavy. Insurance on the
building but none on the contents.

Central Committee Meeting.

The Sully County Republican Cen
tral Committee met in Onida on Satur-
day last, pursuant to call, and made
an apportionment of delegates to and
called county convention to nomi-
nate candidates for county officers to
be voted for at the coming election.
The vote for Congressman cast in 1886
was taken as basis. The apportion-
ment was then made as follows: One
delegate for each precinct or one
delegate for each 10 votes or major
fraction thereof of said vote, except in
Precincts ll5 and ll6-74, lis and I16-
IS, 115 and ll6-76, which 6 townships
have been formed into 6 precincts since
the last election, instead of 3, as in
1886. The townships were allowed
the representation as shown in the call
elsewhere, which gives them 2 dele
gates more than they would have been
entitled to on the Clifford vote undivid-
ed. AS they have more actual voters
now than 10 for each delegate, in
justice they are no doubt entitled to
what they have received.

RECONSTRUCTED POST.
Splendid Quarters for Troops at
Fort Russell.
Fine Dwellings for Officers and
Good Quarters for Men.
Best Hospital in the Department
and New Warehouses.

Fort Russell reminds one of the posts
so wildly depicted in war history. It's
SO different. The post has undergone a
wonderful change in the past few months.
Contracts for its improvement were award
ed last fall, and the work of construction
and reconstruction vigorously prosecuted
throuk bout the recent winter, which sea-
son, by the way, was an ideal one for
building.
Through the courtesy of Contractor
Geo. McSwain a LEADER reporter visited
the fort yesterday afternoon and inspected
the improvements.
Seven fine brick residences Just COM
pleted are in use as officers quarters. Two
other buildings of similar style and size
are in process of erection and foundations
for another pair will soon be laid.
The company quarters, like the officers
habitations. are spacious and complete
buildings. OF the nine contracted for
eight are already occupied. and the re-
naming one nearly finished.
Several fine, large two story mansions
on the north side Of the circle are used by
field officers. Two more will soon be
added to the group.
A number of immense warehouses near
the railway will soon be ready for the
storing of supplies.
The new hospital is the best in the de-
partment.
All new buildings about the post, and
there are about twenty, are of the best
brick and stone.
The 18th infantry club, usually called
the ''canteen," a resort for enlisted men
and civilians employed about the post, is
quite an institution. Beer, light wines,
cigars and tobaccos are sold in the place,
and a billiard hall is attached. The club
serves a double purpose, making the men
temperate and keeping them at the post.
1t is a stock company and all soldiers are
profit sharers.
The grounds about the post are scrupu-
lousy clean, the parade ground green and
smooth as a bowling alley, while the trees
are Just opening their buds.
Fort Russell IS a pretty spot and about
the proper distance from the city for a
pleasant drive. The visitors are FIRE.
