Look Out For Him.

BLooMINGToE, Neb., Sept. IA
number of farmers have been taken in
by a sleek swindler, who operated in
this county about a year ago. Last
summer a man named w. T. Magee,
came 6ere g w hi afbba@eedR arR R4fs u CITY 9,.IINlo,
fence machine. lie was a smooth talker,
and succeeded in getting a recommend
and Endorsement from County Attorney
Fletcher. of Franklin, which he used
with telling effect in overcoming the
doubts which existed in the minds of
the more cautious of his victims as to
his reliability and honest dealings. He
induced Sheriff Eli Brown to take the
manufacture of the fence. He got the
names OF farmers whose individual notes
would be good and started out.
He was so successful that he
left the county witty over $4,000 and
operated in Kansas just south of here TO
the extent Of about $4,000, Magee, by
expiating on the many good qualities Of
his fence, and the almost absolute GER
tainty of an universal demand and sale
for the same, succeeding in getting his
man TO sign an agreement TO act as his
agent in the sale Of the fence in their
respective townships, the fence TO be
manufactured and furnished by Mr..
Brown at wholesale rates. The newly
appointed agent signs plain negotiable
note for Sl20 TO secure Mr.. Magee for
two and one-miles of fence that he is TO
endeavor to sell in one year. The
agreement further states, and il
said two and one-half miles OF
fence are not sold at the expira-
ton Of one year, and said si20 no,
obtained by the extended date of one
year from maturity of said obligation,
said w. T. Magee, or his authorized
representatives, are Internationally
empowered TO cancel said obligation oil
said agent and appoint another agent IN
his stead, returning TO said agent the
original sum of Si20." Soon after being
appointed the agent finds that the fence
is of no practical value and will not sell.
But he feels secure in thinking his note
will be returned, IL at the expiration OF
n year he has made no sales. The year
is now up and he receives a notice
through a bank that his note has passed
into innocent purchasers hands and is
held by them for collection. He further
finds that it is a plain, negotiable note
and has been sold by Magee without re
course, and he is obliged 10 pay it.

THE CAPITAL FIGHT.
Mitchell Working Hard.


MITCHELL, S. d., Sept. 1.-THE
-oters of Dakota are painfully aware
that there is an election approaching
whereat there as to be a capital located.
They are 40 doubt daily importuned &c
vote for one or more places, and no doubt
many Of them have promised to support
the whole seven cities now in tho field.
All these places are rustling. A view
of the Mitchell capital headquarters
gives one some idea of the others. The
Mitchell rustlers occupy a suite
Of rooms in a brick block in
the heart of the city. During work
ing hours the rooms present a busy
scene. at a long table are seated a
squad Of men busily engaged in mailing
maps, pamphlets and pretty souvenirs
10 all points in South Dakota. In the
rear o are several ladies making
typewriters sing the praises OF this city
In the shape of propositions and pleas
TO individuals who are thought TO be
favorable.
The literature put out is in the shape
Of valuable statistics and comparisons.
Aside from the literature mailed ard
tackled up Mitchell has today over 100
men in the field in various partsof South
Dakota working for the city. Double
the number will be out before the close
Of September. Other cities are doing
the same. and Mitchell's hustle is a fair
sample Of the six others. Beyond doubt
the greatest campaign IS now in pro-
gress in South Dakota the state will ever
witness.
A WORD FROM PIERRE,
PIERRE, 5. D., Sept. 1.-THE state
ment that Redfeld has withdrawn from
the capital race and has thrown her in
fuence toward Huron is false, being en-
tirely without foundation. Redfeld's
campaign committee, with a number of
her prominent citizens, arrived in Pierre
last night and stated that Redfeld had
withdrawn, and that her vote would go
to Pierre. The Redfeld people are here
TO buy property, which they are doing
rapidly. They also stated that the citi-
zens Of Redfeld were almost a unit in
favor of Pierre, and that the influence
which they offer had been unanimously
extended, and that Redheld would here
after work for Pierre.
RAILROADS INTERESTED N THE FIGHT.
MITCHELL, Sept. i3.-The indica-
tons are now that the South Dakota
capital fght will before election day
narrow down 10 a contest between the
interests of the Northwestern railroad
system and those Of the Milwaukee sys-
tenn. Mitchell is the favored city of the
latter company, and is the only town on
their line which has seriously entered
the race. The Black Hills decidedly
favor a Milwaukee town, and any move
which solidiies the Northwestern roads
interests will solidify and centralize the
Milwaukee's interest.

IsS'-rses Sept. IA very unique
sxhFfS&s VI covered here today, which
4s.rAse-a % secure the vote of Yank-
ton for Sioux Falls on the question of
temporary capital. 1t is alleged that
Sioux Falls has about $1,000 TO devote
10 election purposes in YanktOn county.
Certain citizens of Yankton will receive
between this and Tuesday next cash
tenders and an equal amount in Sioux
Falls capital stock for their services. 1t
is probable that none of these gentle
men will accept.

They Still Want More Tax on Tin Plates.

The prOlectionist journals are making
strenuous efforts 10 secnre in the next Con-
gress an increased duty on tin plates. The
argument in favor OF the scheme is that with
higher duty Tin plates can be manufacture
ed in this country. Packers Of canned goods
will hardly appreciate the advantage of this
proposition. A higher duty on Tin plates
would increase their cost, and while it might
increase corTespondingly the price Of canned
goods it would lessen their sale and thus be
a serious detrIment TO the canning business.
Besides, why should Gamers and farmers be
made to suffer ia order that the experiment
of manufacturing tin plates may be tried in
this country. We have no tin mines here
and the industry, if successful at all, would
be so at the expense Of Gamers and consum-
ers of canned goods. Voters should remem-
Der these things. The Republican party is
pledged to high tariff, while the Democrat
ic sentiment and policy are both in favor of
an equitable tariff which will relieve the far
mer of some of the unjust burdens he now
has to bear.

A Successful Fair.

The directors of the Hartford County Agri-
cultural Society deserve to be congratulated
upon having held, this year, successful fair,
estimating its success by the variety and
quality of the stock and other articles on ex.
hibition. Hartford county has reason to be
especially proud of the admirable display of
fine horses, cattle, sheep and swine shown
upon the fair grounds and the good order
which was preserved. The crowd in attend.
ance, however, was lessened by the fact that
farmers were in the midst of seeding wheat
and the season being late and the weatL er
uncertain hundreds of them were afraid to
neglect this important duty and consequent
ly remained at home. This fact and the un-
usual scarcity of money among our farmers
and Others dependent upon them, lessened
the attendance and decreased the receipts.
Under all the adverse circumstances, how
ever, the directors have succeeded in nearly
if not quite meeting the expenses of the ex.
hibition. Their energy, hard work and gen
eral good management, all of which were
given unsclfshly and free of expense to the
society, deserve recognition at the hands of
the stockholders. No set of directors could
have done more or done their work better.
1t is very easy 10 criticize, hut only those
who have experienced it can realize the vast
amount of hard and thankless labor entailed
upon any director who strives to do his duty.
They arranged for good exhibition and had
1t, but they could not compel the people to
come. Let US give them, at any rate, the
need of praise for their efforts. The pre-
sent officers are as follows:
President, John Moores Vice President,
y. Frank Hanway Corresponding Secretary,
Hon. Herman Stump; General Secretary,
