second Ward Republicans.

The Second ward republican club held its
semi-monthly session In Kaspar's hail last
night. The executive chair was filed by
President O'Donovan. The attendance was
large.
I Secretary O'Connell reported that the list
of membership contained only sixty-four
names, while he felt confident that it should
contain at least 200. 1t was decided that
inasmuch as an irregularity existed in this
respect, that known member who were not
on the list be allowed TO enroll their names.
On motion of Jack Hoye, the ward dele
gates to the republican county central con-
rention were empowered by the club to call
q caucus for the purpose of selecting dele
gates to the county convention TO be voted
on ut the primaries. The delegates, Messrs.
Hoye and Redfeld, as per request of the
club, selected Wednesday evening next as
the date for holding the caucus, and Kaspar's
hall the place of holding the same.
The committee appointed for the purpose
of selecting judges and clerks at the prima-
ries recommended for judges George Kiral
and August Schroeder clerk, Cliff c.. Rouzer,
and the same were accepted by the club.
All this time Mike Meaney had annoyed
the chairman, interrupting him and refusing
10 recognize the repeated order of the chair
mar to 'sit Town. After reducing a heavy
thorn stick TO splirters in his endeavor to
keep order, Chairman O'Donovan appointed
Messrs. Bowen andlKiral n committee of two
TO eject Meaney from the hall, and while
MeaDy offered resistance he soon found him
self holding an open session on the street.
Dan Shelly responded TO calls for speech"
and announced his candidacy for the county
clerkship. He spoke pointedly and elected
applause.
John Rush closed the meeting in n brief
speech in which he eulogizeG the republican
party for the enyiable record it had made,
and expressed his belief in the ultimate sue
cess OF the ticket at its coming county
election.

northwest. Mr.. Pickerell spent three weeks
in Montana, visiting Helena, Butte, Great
Falls, Missouri and other points. He found
the campaign at its height, and betting even
on the result. This fact possesses great sig
nifcancc for the reason mining camps will
stake money on chance as readily as on food
and clothing. In Butte, the center OF demo-
cratic strength, and the home Of the richest
Of the Big Four-Daly and Clarke-even
money in large rolls had been put up on the
result, indicating a rupture in democratic
confidence.
Mr.. Pickerell's observations and inquiries
convinced him that the result will be very
close. IL is generally conceded that j. X.
Toole, democratic candidate for governor,
will be elected, while Maginnis' defeat by
Carter, republican nominee for congress, is
almost certain. The Legislature will be close.
Complete returns of registration, which
closed on the 18th inst, shows a slight in
crease over the vote cast at the general cleo
ton last November. This is considered an
omen of increased republican strength. Both
parties are terribly IN earnest and election
day will witness the hardest battle ever
fought IN that section.

eyes the great shaggy brute swept
along, taking the prairie rs he found IL.
Close behind him came the fleet Indian
pony aud rider, one as eager as the
other. No ground too rough, no hill
too steep; across gulches, over ridges,
down ravinos went the painting bull,
but lead him where he would the quick
pounding hoofs behind him kept draw
ing nearer and pressing closer until
at last, with n sudden burst OF
speed, the pony is alonside, the
rifle drops, a fash. a sharp crack. and
the chase is ended. The buffalo plunges
TO the ground and with a few struggles
he is lead. Elsewhere an Indian is seen
running down a bunch OF ten or twelve:
sometimes it is hard to tell II he is rid
ing his pony or ono OF the buifalos, Sc
close are they, and the smoke from his
rifle tells us he is not idle. Now and
then n great, black mass drops and rolls
before him, almost under his pony's
feet, but with u quick spring the wlry
little animal clears the struggling brute
and is away again, running side by side
with the others.
About 3 @ o'clock in the afternoon the
chase was we'll over; 1900 buffalo had
fallen and many others had escaped. but
badly wounded. The prairie now was
covered with men, women and children,
pack animals, travois and wagon carts.
Butchering was tho order of tho day,
and by shutdown nearly everything of

Here u grand feast in celebration of the
hunt vas givon; all night long the
squaws were kept busy boiling and
roasting, while the bucks told tales OF
their prowess in the field, sang songs, or
made speeches. Little did they think
that it would be the last great buffalo
hunt of their people. To the young
ones of the tribe it will seem like a
dreem or as if the doors of the happy
hunting grounds had been open to them
then, aud then after one glance at the
exciting scenes so dear to their parents
closed upon them forever.

United States DIVISION Engineer Potter and
Hon. w. j. Broatch, of the Missouri river
commission, took a trip up the Big Muddy
yesterday on the Capltola Butt to inspect
the riprap that is being put along the eastern
shore of the river, despite the experience
of the past, which teaches that no riprap yet
constructed will withstand high water IN the
Missouri. The trip was devoid of incident,
and after closely inspecting the work the
party returned again about dusk.

His First Sermon,

A bright young friend OF mine who is
working his way through the Bates Theological
School, and who will some day be a worthy,
and, believe, a successful worker in the
Christian ministry, relates his first experience
in ''supplying:' 81 was pretty hard up, and
that means considerable to me, for | have
never had any troublesome surplus during
my course. 1t looked as If | would have to
drop out a while and earn something before
could go on, and had about concluded to
canvass for book when got my first chance
to supply. You may be sure l accepted II
thankfully, for to my mind 1t promised need
full financial aid. The church was some miles
out of the city, but Itlidn't mind that. The
next Sunday hired livery team and drove
out there and delivered my best sermon, aud
after taking dinner with one of the good
deacons, started for home with the contents
of the contribution box, which amounted to
81 30. My bill at the livery stable amounted
to $2.25, so that l was just 75 cents out OF
pocket by my first appearance in the pulpit"

A CRISIS IN AUSTRIA.
Tho Reiohsrath Will Open on Januar,
pOtl


3Oth.
VIENNA, Jan. 23.-The opening Of the
Reichsrath on the 30th instant will be
the beginning of q critical period for
Count Won Taafe's ministry. A number
of the Governments supporters, notably
the Polish members, will insist upon
legislative reforms, the consideration of
which was postponed during the settle
ment of the army and imperial taxation
questions. During Count Taare's ten
years of office government majority of
the most composite character has been
kept together by incessant appeals to
unite on great imperial questions.
This line is played out and there are
plain symptoms of disintegration. Among
the internal legislative measures de.
manded are reforms of criminal and
civil procedure and industrial taxation
and amendments of the agrarian laws.
The ministerialists, who have been disin-
clined to introduce measures that might
lead to new party groupings. have been
warned that the cabinet must venture or
see Its majority break up through sheer
discomfort.
The old Czech party's report boasts
an extension of influence through
moderation in demands and moderation
in language. The organs of the German
Liberal press see nothing in the report
except declaration Of opportunism, and
predict that the old Czechs will soon be
forced into the active policy of the young
Czechs, implying the restoration of Bo.
hemia to the position of a kingdom, upon
the same status as that of Hungary.
Herr Bacquehem will introduce in the
Reichsrath bill levying small duty
upon imported or exported goods in tran
sit through Austria.

PHILADELPHIA.

The ground on which Philadelphia is
built is one of the richest gold fields in
the world. This is fact. The only
difficulty is that the field cannot be
worked. Nearly the whole city is un-
derlaid with clay to the depth of about
10 teet-an area say ten miles square.
A cubic foot of clay, Weighing 100
pounds. taken from depth of ii feet.
when the cellar of the Twelfth street
Market House was excavated, was prac-
tically demonstrated to contain seven
tenths of grain of gold, or one pound
IN 1924, 900.
The experiment was repeated with
about the same results with clay taken
from brick yard in the suburbs. Sup
posing the whole mass of clay to be
4,1sO,000,00 pounds land II is really
much greater), the amount Of gold would
reach in value the enormous sum Of
$126.000,000.
The gravel is much richer in gold than
the clay. but there is not so much of 1t.
Undoubtedly 5000 900, 900 worth of gold
lies within fifteen feet of the surface and
still it cannot be used.-[ Philadelphia
