Keith replied that he was elected on

There is mix up at Biz marck that is
of difficult solution from this distance.
It is announced that the council caucus
was called by eighteen republicans and
three irregular republicane. The precise
meaning of the term irregular" is not
conveyed. but it is presumed that it
represents those members who bolted
last falls nominations and ran an inde-
pendent or peoples" tickets. Mr..
Stimmel belongs to that class, though
he announces himself republican. After
the caucus had convened Councilmen
Lowey, Ericsson, Washebaugh. Dollard,
Hal,y, Campbell, Poindexter aud Hughes,
straight republicans, refused to partioi-
pate in lts doinRs. Heretofore it hes
been customary to organ zs the Ieeisls.
ture on sectional Issues, but in this af-
falr there appears to have been no north,
NO south, no central Dakota. The coan-
cilmen who withdrew are from the wide
ly separated cities OF Deaiwood, Elk
Point, Bismarck, Scotland. !. Huron, Red.
field, berdeen and Rapid City. After
their withdrawal the combination made
the nominations.
In the house the republican caucus
appears to have been composed of the
entire body. republicans and democrats.
The attempt was made to organize
both these bodies upon granger basie.
It wac the farmer element that pre-.
vailed IN the council. overturning all po
lisical and. sectional lires. but in the
house the movement does NOT appear to
have been holly success. though the
farmers have majority in ttat body !.
Mr.. Aikens was the acknowledged can
didate of 1.-THE farmer element for the
speakership and Mr.. Keith was nomi-
mated to that position. As neither one
is farmer it is probable that the agri.
cultural element could not be held TO
Mr.. Aiken, the selection Of the farmers
alliance. The legislature will proceed
npoE, non-seotional basis for the first
time since 1881 and the old Legislative
war horses will have to study new ways
and learn fresh tactics. The granger is
there Ia full war paint.

DANCING IN KNICKERBOCKERS.
An Innovation In Evening Dress In
troduced by q Society Club.

From the New York Sun
The dance that was given on Monday night
by Mr.. and Mrs. William Douglass Sloane, at
642 5th avenue, in honor of the debut of Miss
Louise Shepard, daughter of Col Elliott F.
Shepard, was marked by picturesque and in
teresting social innovation in costume worn by
group of seven young society men, who have
recently formed themselves into club, and
who propose hereafter to discard the regula-
ton evening dress at receptions or balls. The
leader of this club is Broker John G. Furman,
who is connected with Waterbury 4 Co., of 1872
Front street. His associated are: Messrs
Thomas Howard, Robert Hargous, James
Waterbury, Worthington whitehouse, Edward
C. Potter and Broker s. s. Sands, jr.
They arrived on Monday night after the
drawing room was well filled with guests. and
sauntered in, dressed all alike in knee breeches
and tailless dress coats. Their arrival made
an instant sensation, and the debutante and
the bellies who were clustered about her
studied the novel attire with admiration. The
knee breeches of each of the seven swells were
of rich black satin. fastened at the knee with
silver buckles. Black silk stockings encased
the calves, and the dancing pumps were made
after the fashion of the old Knickerbocker shoe
and fastened with buckles of FURNISHED silver.
The dress coats were of black velvet. cut some
what after the style of shooting jackets. and
were worn over low-cut waistcoats of black
ton dress coat of the present season. Each
man wore a linen dress shirt with plain bosom
and standing collar, encircled with a plain
white tie

Starving a Cold.

HOW IT CAN BE DONE WITHOUT INCONVENIENCE
To THE SUFFERERS.
From woman's Work
The man who originated the oft-quoted and
unscientific maxim, "Feed cold and starve a
fever" either did not understand what he was
writing about or he has been widely misunder-
stood, to the great injury of multitudes who
have acted on the absurd maxim. Presenting
that the author of it was physician. who
knew something of the nature of a cold and
the action of remedies, he must have spoken
subjunctively, and not imperatively. And then
it would read thus: II you stuff a cold the con-
sequence will be that you will be thrown into a
fever result of the stuffing treatment of
the cold, and then you will have to starve the
fever. This is true and sensible interpreta-
ton of this commonly received maxim which
has done as much harm as any of the thousand
and one of the popular errors which prevail on
medical subjects.
If it cannot be explained in the manner
mentioned. it must be remanded to the dark
ages OF ignorance and superstition. and classed
with lunar and stellar influences over the
human body, witchcraft and other absurdities
long since exploded in the progress of true sci
ence. Without dwelling on the nature and
causes OF colds, or on what physicians call the
pathology of these disorders, / will say that a
low or even starvation diet for few DAYS, with
the free drinking of warm, mildly stimulating
teas. is better for cold than any drug or COM
bination Of drugs If with this a warm bath or
hot footbath is taken, little more will be
needed. Nine cases in ten of colds can be
broken up in their early stage by hot foot or
rather leg bath, keeping the bath as hot as it
can be borne until perspiration arises. After
the bath, drink half pint Of hot lemonade and

HOW HE DID GRANTS SECOND INAUGURALcFACTs
WERE SCARCE WITH HIM.
From the New York Graphic.
Harry d. Macedonia was a newspaper man for
long time before he accepted his present po-
sition of assistant district attorney and has lots
OF stories about old newspaper men. The
other day, among other "reminiscences he told
a story about a couple of imported journal
lists" who were brought to this country by big
morning paper to write up the second in
| auguration of General Grant,
II. Ii. Connery was the regular Washington
correspondent OF the paper" says MIR. Mac
dona, but somehow the Office didn't seem to
think he could do just what they wanted. so
they sent over to England for Edmund Yates
and Grenvlile Murray. These fellows were
gilt-edged journalists, it was said and looked
with supreme contempt upon the newspaper
man who got facts and published them. Be-
| sides Messrs. Yates and Murray, Mr.. John Rus
sell Young, one of the papers chief editorial
writers, went down to run things Mr. Yates
put up at Wizards On the morning of the
inauguration day Connery called on Yates and
offered to do anything in his power to assist
the Englishman. Somehow Yates didn't
feel like hustling just then, SO instead
of attending to his work he loafed around Will
lard's. going OUT on the sidewalk and looking
| at the parade. &c. Later in the day believe
he went to the White House. However that
was, when Mr.. Young came in to see how the
work was getting along he found Mr.. Yates
holding up the bar at Wizards and seemingly
having very good time.
'.Well, Mr. Yates" said Young. ''have you
fixed up your stuff already?"
what stuff, my dear fellow?" asked Yates.
Mr.. Young looked blandly at the Britisher.
but he was raging within. With a very sweet
smile he asked: well, Mr. Yates do YOU pro-
pose to honor us with a contribution from Your
penn"
Yates smiled, looked supremacy satisfied, and
said:
well, went out and saw the show. YOU
know. butt didn't know beastly one of the
fellows / saw. I thought was to have q man
! to point them out and take notes for me. 1
can write You beautiful picture; yes. sir, a
beautiful picture of the whole business but
| don't know single name among them. YOU
know" Mr.. Young was boiling but he looked
| interrogatively at the imported journalist who
saw the glance and said: We'll. what is it Won
want, sirl" Young smiled and drawled out, 1T
will soon be time to send dispatches to the
paper. I'd like one or two facts if you can
| oblige me, and then I'll take little brandy and
soda'h
Yates was staggered, and Young said after
ward: ''Will you believe it, never got single
fact from that fellow, but did get some ID.
and S."
Since then imported journalists are not con-
| sidered the thing in Washington.

New Style of Fighting.


Nothing could more strikingly show the
change In warfare than the contrast between
the Prussians who fought at Leuthen and
Rosbach and the armies engaged at Worth and
Gravelotte. In the one we have rigid diyis-
ions and brigades; in the other the work is
done by companies strung out along the front
OF battle. Notwithstanding recent expe-
rience, We are told by the experts that the
principles Of modern fighting as they are now
universally understood among the most
thoughtful soldiers OF all nations" have never
yet been applied in action, so that the need
for the best all-around individual and collect
i've instruction is greater than ever. Does il
prevail In the British army? Apparently not
since we cling too much to the old WAYS.
..The only practical work." writes Colonel
Maurice, lis that which tends to prepare the
men, not for the inspection of some general on
the parade ground, but tor actual war" Some
thing has been done, but in our army we are
far from the living organism which war de-
mands. Even in the artillery of which we are
so proud, the instruction is not thorough. or. If
thorough. sacrificed TO delusive display
"show drill and show maneuvers," illustrated
by the officer who said, ''Never mind how Won
fire; get up puff of smoke Just to show where
you are;' in other words, substitute smartness
for efficiency. Depend upon it, the next great
war win be fatal to those who are content with
theatrical effects. The soldiers of Ggstavus,
Cromwell, and Frederick we're grounded on
realities, not on pretty shows, and only the
spirit which animated them, breathed into our
day, can produce equivalent results.
