THE Henncpin county Republicans in
dulged in what they are pleased to style
a Blaine and anti-Blaine fight in their
convention Tuesday. While there is a
sentiment about Blaine's name that
rouses his friends 10 supremacy every
where, We are 10th to believe that the
delegates selected to Chicago will think
it the best or proper thing to force a
nomination upon Mr.. Blaine against his
expressed wish that such not be done.

ST. PAUL is happy, or at least that por-

the fact that the supreme court has re-
versed Judge Brill's decision with re-

ing that the sprinklng is public inn
provement, and declaring the law con-
stitutional. Ii involves about $780, 900 of
unpaid taxes, and is most important

will enable them to go on with the

Tur Cburcb-Dav fybt in Dakota IN,

THE Church-Day fight in Dakota has
eliminated in decentralization of the adj
ministration boss who proposed to direct
things in the Territory. The Day fac
ton captured the convention and gave
Church such roasting that Cleveland
may decide he had better appease Da-
kota Democrats by hauling off his tool
The result of the fracas is that two sets
of delegates will be sent to st. Louis and
the fight transferred to the convention.

AN alleged meeting of Albert Schef-
fer's followers was held at Herman
Tuesday. A dispatch says:
"The meeting was held with closed
doors, local newspaper reporters being
excluded. A plan was perfected for APP
pointing campaign committee of the
nine members representing all parts of
the state. A committee of seven was
appointed to draft a campaign document
consisting of a resume Of Scbeffer's legis-
lative record, the platform of the Farm
er's alliance as Endorsed by Scheffer and
President Atwood's recent reply to the
structures Of the Republican press on the
action of the alliance executive commit
tee. Three hundred thousand copies of
this document were ordered printed In
English, German, Scandinavian, French
and Bohemian, and scattered broadcast
throughout the state. Arrangements
were made TO put one hundred home
spun speakers in the field to conduct
school house campaign.
If this sort of thing is being done by
Mr.. SchefIer's connivance he is more
foolish than we have heretofore allowed
ourselves to believe. 1t would become
an aspirant for favors from the Republic
can State convention TO defer campaign
preparations until il was determined
whether that convention proposed to
honor him. If Mr.. Scheffer proposes to
go it alone as the candidate of the
Farmers Alliance, it should be so an
nounced, as it will simplify matters for
the Republican convention. Delegates
supporting him would have no right
there.

THE Chicago papers are nearly unani-
nous in the expression Of praise for the
nomination of Mr.. Fuller. Their opin-
ions are certainly entitled to much
weight, as they are best acquainted with
his qualities and ability to fill the re-
quirements of the chief justiceship. The
only voice not in accord is that of the
GIOJe, the new organ of the spoils De-
mocracy of Chicago. If Mr.. Cleveland
has succeeded in obtaining the disfavor
OF that element by Mr.. Fuller's selection
there is certainly one thing in its favor.
The more the antecedents and char
acter of the new chief justice become
known the clearer il becomes that the
President learned wisdom and discre-
ton from the Lamar episode, and has
found a man who, if he may not repre-
sent great ability, ut least is not
principally known as a political schemer.

Sunday morning last as Frank Lannen,
night operator at this station, started out to
take in the switch lights west Of the depot. he
discovered the body of man laying beside
the track just opposite the freight house
dead. The news soon spread and in short
time large crowd gathered. Coroner Bitter
arrived and ordered the remains taken to the
freight house, where an examination was
made of his effects. His name was found to
be Frank Kamp, cigar maker by occupa-
ton, having worked in the cigar factory in
this city for the past week. Last Saturday
after drawing his money, in company with
fellow-workman, went to the depot, and as
the fast mail arrived, it is supposed he at
tempted to board it, and in SO doing missed
his hold, and was in some manner struck
blow on the back Of his head, which crushed
the skull. When found he was laying on his
back, perfectly straight, except his limbs be-
ing crossed and his arms under his suspend
ers across his breast. In his pocket was
found $5.75 in silver, a cigar makers trave-
ling card, and number Of other papers, but
none that gave any information as to where
he came from, or where his friends or par
ents reside, He was member of Cigar Ma
kers Union No. 247. and was buried under
the auspices of the Defiance Cigar Factory

new plays. The following being among the

Las night and night before the Graham
Earle Comedy Company gave the first two of
their series of six performances. The first
evening they appeared in. and successfully
rendered, to large house, the four act melo-
drama, "Dad's Girl" The following even
ing they gave, with equal success, the four
act comedy drama, Little Ferret" This is
not their first appearance here, and they may
be said to be well known in Valparaiso. On
account of their former appearance they
gained host of admirers, and all those who
have heard them last winter attest to the fact
that they are fully up to the standard of their
former appearance. Mr.. Earle and Miss
Singleton are accomplished artists, and with
their present able support they can hardly
fail to successfully render anything they un-
dertake. Their selections are above the
standard, and being combination of wit and
pathos cannot fail to strike popular chord
in the hearts of our theatre-going people. In
fact they are frst-class company and merit
the patronage of the public spirited people of
the town. Manager Heinman ought to con-
gratulate himself on being able to secure
such talented and worthy company, and our
people are not doing their whole duty unless
they give them crowded houses during the rest
of their stay here. Tonight Fruits of

A Sickly Season.

The doctors say that this has been one OF
the most sickly seasons Henry county has
experienced for many years, the cause Of
which is simply matter of specul alton.
Much however is due to the people themselves
in not taking proper care of their health. and
when they do not feel just right to take some
simple tonic or csthartic as the case may in
dicate. A certain line of household remedies
such as are most likely to be needed, do not
cost much and % cents invested in this way
will often save $25 or more, besides great
deal Of suffering and pain. Saur Il Balsley
make special effort to constantly keep a
full line of the best remedies on hand, fresh
and in good condition for use at any time, so
that you may be sure to get at this house just
the remedies you may want at the most rea-
sonable prices.
