The Harrison and Morton club of
Deadwood-" Such was the name given to
themselves by a motley gathering of
mugwumps, Bull-wumps, boilers, sore
heads, political rousta5outs and disgrun-
tied republicans, who met in the above
named town last week for the purpose Of
forming political club for the coming
campaign. 1t is good thing they chose
that name, else no one would know what
under the blue vault of heaven they were.
1t was necessary to label themselves in
order that the public could determine
who and what they were.

Kid Ball Game.

The Sturgis juveniles may not be
used to taking consomme in such large
doses as they got yesterday. 1t was
poured into them with alarge tin dipper,
and several Rapid City hopefuls held the
dipper. Tho boys played good game,
and the visitors were simply outplayed
at every point. There is the making OF
one or two good ball players in that
Sturgis. crowd, but they lack the advan-
tage of the training the Rapid City boys
have had. The juveniles here have asso-
ciated with and watched the best ball
players in the Black Hills until they
have gotten pretty through understan-
ding of the science of the game, and
Flick, Pohlzon, McManus, Loveland,
Lockwood and Gantz knew well how to
apply their knowledge. The others will
learn III time. The fielding of Lock
wood, Pohlzon and Loveland yesterday
was elegant. With the exception of tho
fifth and sixth innings, when the home
boys played very carelessly, the game
was as one-sided as jug handle. In
the fifth after two were out, Sturgis got
in nine scores. Frank Lakes first base
play was responsible for this. After the
sixth the home boys settled down to
steady business again, and made pretty
short work of the visitors In the eight
sturgis braced up, and by very pretty
double play gave the Rapid City boys
their only egg. In the other seven in
nings the boys hammered away at the
ball with vigor that made the Sturgis
fiellers very tired. Most of the twenty
seven runs accredited the home club
were earned. Applegate umpired. The
score by innings is:

The excellence of Harper's Magazine

glance through its pages. There are
short stories and long ones, sketches,
''skits, poetry, and unsurpassed illustra-
tons. The articles most striking, per
haps, are Mr.. Theodore Child's Limoges
and its Industries" and H., L. Whites
descriptions of Western Journalism"
These contain great store of new in
formation, and even the old facts are SO
presented that they strike the reader
with new force. The portraits of West
ern editors will be scanned by the public
with interest.

The best speech we'have heard for long

forcible. He did not compliment Cleveland,
but stated solid facts. iiThe cry of the bloody

friends after the speech. Would that the
northern Democrats were not so willing to be
covered by the bloody shirt or any other gar
ment the south might furnish. Are we a
free people. or must we again pay homage to
southern aristocrats. awe are sorry that the

unpleasant circumstances will not occur
again.

The sad but lovely scenery of the He
Brides, and the sad and repellent wretch
edness of the crofters, furnish plenty of
material for Mr. and Mrs. Pencil in their
second paper about "Our Journey to the
Hebrides" which appears in Harper's
Magazine for October. It rained nearly
all the time uuing this part ofs the trip,
and these artistic tramps met few natives
who were not utterly miserable. Sun
shine and happiness seemed to be equally
rare. 1t is difficult to understand how
the English statesmen can much longer
refrain from taking steps to evict the
scotch land lords and give the tenants a
chance. From many points of view as
Mr.and Mrs. Pencil saw it, thesituation in
the highlands is worse than in Ireland.
In the latter place the tenants object to
the rents; in Scotland they would be
willing to pay even more rent, but the
proprietor will not rent the land tolthem at
all. He wants TO keep it for deer forests
and grouse moors. As was the first paper
so IS the second, literally illustrated
with sketches of remarkable excellence

Catholics must not be cremated.
That is the substance OF a recent
edict issued by Pope Leo XIII. He
condemns cremation and recon-
mends that all loyal adberents OF
the Church shall inter their dead in

of Italy and France, and although
it has been thought that the Pope
did not regard the practice with fay-

THE MARRIAGE DISCUSSION

The increased uneasiness in the
married relation as compared with
former ages is probably due to the
more accurate education of women,
by which, while their physical con-
stituti0n remains as before, they
are rendered no less capable than
men, and no less worthy Intellect
ally Of determining in all respects
the government of the family life.
Our increased subjectivity, too, or
refinement, or cultivation of the sem
sibiIities through the more emotion
al quality Of our employments, may
have something to do with the IN
happy place which many a wife and
many a husband nnu their nome to
be. But in any case there are null
titudes doubtless of married couples
whose life is made intolerable
through sense of unjust subsection
on the part of the man or woman, or
through a feeling of Misrepresentation,
and still most frequently perhaps
through the disgust and even loath-
ing that comes when one of the par
ties has been discovered by the
other to be thoroughly contempt
BILE, and must nevertheless be lived
With, for the children's sake, to the
end. The popular remedy, so far,
has been, and probably will long
continue to be, patient:" aud it is
quite true that even married
unhappiness may be used, by excep'
tionally great natures, to the benefit
of character.

OCTOBER DAYS.

Bright, dreaming October days,
when the world has strange peace,
and quietness, that fills our hearts
with it's irresistible influence. When
the golden sunlight has a softer
glow, the late summer woods diff.
erent charm, than they held for us,
in the sweet breathed month ofMay,
and June. The golden rod, the
green ferns, and the bright autumn
leaves, form a pretty, and pleasant
contrast, 70 the arbutus, the violets,
and the roses, that we gathered in
those fair, aud early months. How
typical of our own earthly existence
are these changing seasons as the
year rolls around and is lost in the
past. The soft October breeze that
signs through the woods, and gently
scatters to the ground the fading
leaves, impresses us with the solemn,
though not saddened thought, of the
frailty of our lives of the small space
we occupy, and how soon we are
| forgotten in this world Of hustle. and
endeayor.
Even as the sweet, fruitful months
of the early summer inspire us with
greater aspirations, new desires for
prolonged life, so the brief, bright
autumn, that finds the store house
full, the sheaves all gathered, sets us
to thinking of the last brief days OF
our existence, when the soft twilight
shall settle down for the last time,
and we shall awaken in the glorious
rays of the Son of Immortality.

natural that man should be care.
fol to keep his shortcomings from
the girl he is DESTROYS
of making his wife. He Is thought
full for her comfort, spends all his
spare time in her company, will not
see that she has any of the faults
his relations point out to him and is
not exacting except as regards the
amount of affection bestowed on
himself. The engaged girl is PEI
son of Importance, petted by her
friends aud INDUCED by her family.
Her plans and wishes often have
the first consideration. Little is re-
quired of her and much is yielded
to her. Finally after nothing but
consideration for self, the wedding
day comes, and with it a gradual
change in the order of things.
The husband is as fond of his wife
as the. lover was of his betrothed,
but she is his, and he is no longer
anxious. He has duties and social
obligations, perhaps rather neglect
ed during his courtships, which
must be attended to. He does not
show his affection so much, and is
more exacting; while the wife, hith

her lovers one thought, imagines
him changed and inattentive. Nc

ored spectacles, she perceives bis
failings and betrays her own. This
beginning, without any serious
faults on either side, is often quite
sufficient to lay the foundation Of a
