POLiIICs IN DAKOTA
Dissected and Explained by Judge
EdCertOn. of the New State.


Judge Edgerton. recently appointed
United States district judge Of South
Dakota, was at the Merchants yester7
day, and in response to questioning on
the political events of the last few
months in his state, spoke as follows:
The election in South Dakota resulted,
as was predicted, in an overwhelming
majority for the Republican ticket.
Possibly this majority may have been
increased from the fact that many of
our people believed that the Republican,
party had been, as party, more favor
able to the division and admission OF
Dakota. But | should say that large
majority of the Democratic party in
South Dakota favored the division and
admission of the territory. In the
Sioux Falls constitutional conventions,
which assembled on July 4, under the
omnibus bill. many of the best mem
bers were Democrats, and contributed
all in their power to the perfection of
the constitution.
believe no state has better cOnsti-
tuition than South Dakota. Many OF the
settlers of South Dakota came from
Minnesota and lOwa-pOSsibly this eX-
plains in measure the decreased Re-
publican vote in Iowa in late years. The
people of but few of the states rank
higher in Intelligence than Dakota. Our
institutions of learning are in advance
OF many of the old states. The officers
of the new state are men of great merit,
selected as best representing the patriot
ism and intelligence of our people.
Our senators and members of the house
were selected not only on account of
their ability, which we believe will
place them among the best in congress,
but also on account of their energy and
push which characterize a true Da-
kOtan. You ask what about our judges.
l will let others speak of the qualifica-
ton of the United States judge, but the
state judges are superior men, both of
supreme and United States circuit
courtS-men who are not only good law
yers, but men of learning and
integrity. AS said before, our
state was peopled largely from
Iowa and Minnesota, and we have tried
to initiate those states in selecting men
to fill our important places of trust who
will reflect credit on the common
wealth.
No one can tell at this day how much
the people of Minnesota are indebted to
the fact that such men as Sibley and
Ramsey were early selected as leaders
in the state,

He takes another cigar: he pledges
his word to support Eastern families
and let his own go; he resolves never TO
get caught by the Democrats, and let
the nations of the world ship him cheap
goods, not as long as he eau go bare
footed and dig money out of the ground

Luxurious Travelling.

The progress in railroad construction
is not more marked in any direction
than that which pertains to the safety
and comfort of passengers. What is
more wonderful than the present
method. under which travellers find as
many cOnvenlenceS and as much COM
fort on railroad trains as in their homes?
The Northern Pacific Railroad has al
ways been among the first to adopt i'm
proyements in train service, and their
Vestibule Trains. consisting of elegant
Pullman Sleepers and Day Coaches, are
models OF excellence. Nothing could
be more enjoyable than trip over this

The incessant rain of the past week

THE GOPHER ACT.

A Tale in Which Tails Are

ure.
A certain number of thousand dollars
was set apart to exterminate gophers,
and each gopher tail brought in was
worth so much-I think three cents a
tail, or something of that kind. AS
crops were short and times dull, cap
turing gOphers became quite a lively
business; so much so that there was
danger of the gOphers all being ex-
terminated in very short space of
time and the industry playing out. So
some of the wiser heads entered on a
plan of protection. As long as the tail
was the only evidence they had to pro-
duce of destruction to draw the bounty
they saved the industry by carefully
sharing the gopher, cutting its tail off,

Red rain fell recently in the province
of Lublin. Russian Poland. The shower
lasted for about ten minutes. The
peasants, who mistook the red liquid
for blood, became panic-stricken and
crowded the churches, where they were
quieted by the priests. Several bottles
of the red rain were sent to chemists
and microscopes in Warsaw for eX-
animation. For several days after the
shower all the surface water in Lublin
was of dark pink color.

Sheriff Steele's Fix.

From the Pittsburg Commercial Gazette.
A remarkable case of mistaken
identity occurred recently in the Gin
cinnati court. William J. Long was
arrested during the centennial on a
charge of robbing Mrs. Comerford of
$500 at the West Penn depot. While
incarcerated in jail Long allowed his
beard to grow, presumably with the
object of changing his appearance.
When placed in the dock Long sat
with his hand on his chin, concealing
his beard, and the close resemblance
the prisoner bore to Deputy Sheriff
Steele, who by the way, is a remark
ably handsome man with a 1nagnifi-
cent mustache, was commented upon
by the court officials.
The case was called for trial, and
Long took a seat behind his counsel
at the table, while Sheriff Steele
busted himself about his duties 10 the
courtroom. Mrs Comerford took
the stand and related the incident of
the theft. District Attorney Porter
asked the witness if she could recog-
nize the thief. "Yes," she replied.
"why there goes the man now who
stole my money; he's leaving the
courtroom" pointing to deputy
Sheriff Steele, who was making a
trip to the jail for prisoner.
The deputy sheriff was surprised
to hear himself accused of such a
crime, but Mrs. Comerford was posi-
tive that she was correct in her iden-
LITIGATION. MIR. Steele thereupon
took the witness stand, and effectu-
ally dispelled any belief that might
linger in the minds of the lobby that
he was in the habit of varying
his official duties with raids upon
the pocket of ladies. Long was then
ordered to stand up where Mrs.
Comerford could see him, and, after
a close inspection, she decided that
she had been mistaken and that
Long was the man who had robbed
her.
The prisoner appeared to enjoy the
perplexity of Mrs. Comerford, and
probably expected that it might re-
suit favorably to him, but in this he
was mistaken, as he was convicted
and remanded to Jail for sentence.

A Daring Feat.
From the Atlanta Constitution.

From the Atlanta Constitution.
Dock Cockburn, moonshiner from
Murray county, escaped from thecu
tom house at the peril of his life. He
was sitting in the little prisoners
room on the third floor in group of
moonshiners. The door was locked.
All at once Cockburn sprang to his
feet and went to q small window
which overlooks Marietta Street at
height of 100 feet. He raised the
sash, and stepping out on the granite
coping, which is hardly six inches
wide, and Strengthening himself
against the side of the building, with
his face to the wall, moved slowly
along the perilous path. The slight
est misstep would have hurled him
from his dizzy height to the fiagstone
below-a mangled mass! The coping
extends to the balcony, a distance
of about ten feet. He made the
trip in safely, and, raising his
left leg with the greatest care,
stepped over the wall of the balcony,
walked into the hall, down the stair
way, and got away. The court was
in session at the time, but Cockburn
was not missed until an officer hap
pened to look into the little room to
see if the prisoners were all right.
Of course no one dreamed that any
sane man would dare death in the at
tempt to tread the coping to the bal
cony. Cockburn is the same man who,
in 1883, jumped from car window
near Marietta while the train was
making thirty miles an hour, rolled
down an embankment and made good
his escape into the woods. He is 20
years of age and weighs 1876 pounds.
He has the agility ola cat, the tough
ness of a lightwood knot, and the
nerve of an iron man. Dock has been
brought to law a number of times
and he feared a heavy sentence-so
he risked his life in getting away.
