KICK AT SPRINGER.
And Personal Interests Lead Some
Legislators Out of the Right

way.
Special to the Globe.
JAMESTOWN, Jan. 25.-In converse
ton with a number of the members of
the Legislature while they were waiting
for the train Sunday, there seemed to
be strong Discrimination on the part of
several of the members from South Da-
kota to accept any measure for the adj
mission or division of Dakota which
came through Mr.. Springer or the DEM
ocratic party. The hope was Expressed
that the South Dakota lobby now in
Washington would be able to exert
sufficient pressure OH the Republicans
omnibus bill and let the matter 90 over
until the Republicans come into power.
The only reason expressed, except the
''dog In the Manager" argument afore-
said about Springer. seemed to be that
the Sioux Fails constitution, having
been voted for by portion OF, the peo-
pie two years ago, there could be no
possible need of discussing or amending
its provisions. In other words, these
gentlemen claim to believe in, the Gilt
eral inspiration OF the Sioux Falls CON
Stitution." The uneXpreSsed reason,
with most of their statesmen probably
is, either that they were elected to office
under that constitution, or are interest
ed. in the location of the capital at
Huron. The fact did not seem to be
of the smallest importance.tot them that
by their rejection of what they have
been clamoring for, because of their alb
surd grudge against Mr.. Springer they
run the risk of postponing; net only
their own admission but that of North
Dakota and the other territories for an
other two years. A bird in the hand is
worth two in an extra session. and if the
gift of statehood is to be flung back in
the face of the Democratic party by the

have to thank for their loss Of the Of

THE FIAT DELEGATES
Are in Trouble Over the Lack OF
Convention Behind Them.


Convention Behind Them.
Special to the Globe.
DEADWooD, OAK, Jan. ga good
deal of amusement was created here at
the expense of some of the prominent
Republicans by the publication of the
reports of the proceedings of the Huron
convention. The papers stated that
everything went smoothly until the
committee on credentials reached Law
renee county, when a telegram was re-
ceived from Hon. Edwin Van Gre. of
Deadwood, stating that no convention
had been held here, and consequently
10 delegates OF proxies appointed. A
stampede followed, for the fellows were
then claiming to be the regular proxies
for Lawrence county, and wanted to be
recognized as such. The troubled
waters were Gained, however, so the
newspaper narrates, when Mr.. Camp
bell produced later telegram from MIR.
Van Gre to the effect that convention
had bee held and the proxies were all
right.
The query is, how, when and where
was that convention held and who COM
posed it? Mr.. Van Cire must keep
awake if he wishes to be recognized as
one of the leaders of his party, or some
day he will awake to find that South
Dakota is state, and that convention
has been held, a constitution adopted,
and he has got left. Eternal vigilance

DEADwooD, Oak, Jan. 25.-The
United States court, which is now in
session here, is making it warm for vio-
laters of the laws. William Moulton
was convicted yesterday of Illegal yot-
ing, and sentenced to two years at hard
labor in the penitentiary at Sioux Falls.
Moulton is an ignorant coIored man,
and his conviction will have whole
some effect upon the rounder element
of this city, which hobs up serenely and
exercises Il potent influence at every
city election. 1t is pretty well known
that Moulton was only a tool for
others. and good many regret
that the party who is really guilty can
not be convicted, and that Moulton had
to suffer in his place. The city, how
ever, can well spare such men, and it is
to be hoped that the good work thus he
gun will go on. Another case which is
attracting a good deal of attention is
that of Thomas Fl. White, formerly
deputy United States mineral surveyor
for the Black Hills, who has been ill
dicted by the United States grand jury
FOR PERJURY,
in regard to certain mining property
for Which applications for patents were
pending. The substance of the charge
is about this: White, in his capacity as
deputy mineral surveyor, testified,
some three or four years ago, before. the
authorities of the Deadwood laid Office
that $500 worth of work had been done
on certain place or claim located on
Whitewood creek. The plaintiffs alfege
that at the time the. total amount
of work done Oh the property did not
amount to over $50, and that White was
fully aware of that fact at the time that
he gave his testimony. The testimony
was made for the purpose of procuring
patents on the claims. The testimony
of a large number of credibles wit
nesses has been gathered Sy the prose
cution, and the case is likely to create
good deal of interest. Mr.. White is
we'll known here and has recently been
brought into prominence by his attack
upon the promoters Of the Horny Peak
tin deal, which has been pending i'll
London for two or three years. As cor.
respondent for the Financial News of
London, Mr.. White opposed vigorously
the effort to unload the tin property OF
the Southern Hills on the Englishmen.
White himself is Cornishman by birth,
and was accused at the time of endeay-
oring to blackmail the Horny Peak

directly interested in the cattle bust
ness would not rejoice to see it become
law. The bill provides for sort
of free cattle range by local option.
Any county that votes for free
cattle range, so that the farmer
would have to fence his lands, could
have what they want. But the county
that votes against such law, would re-
main as now-within its borders the
cattlemen men must take care of their
cattle or take the consequences. In
this county such an option law as that
just introduced could not be carried on
at the polls. But this town and the
Immediately surrounding country look
upon other counties west of the river
as beneath their wing. and therefore
don'twant so big cattle range west OF
the river Mandan realizes that, 1t 1T IS
to become the large city that its people
dream of and talk about. they must
send their merchandise into the coun-
ties that lie west. northwest and south
west, and they therefore don't want to
give these counties up to cattle, as they
would be if. now that they are sparsely
settled. such a law were to become oper-
alive. Once. a county. becomes vast
cattle range, there wouldsbe no chance
to get back to agriculture, for there
would never be enough farmers settled
there to vote it back.
The apprehenSions of the people OF
this, town are all the greater because
the member from this side of the river is
cattleman himself, and though for
effect, he stated before election that he
was in favor of retaining the present
herd law, yet when he had no idea of
of running for the legislature, he was
in favor of its repeal. He can be
counted on to favor any bill that would
look to giving the cattleman the right
to run his cattle over the farm of the
tiller of the soil and damage the crop
rreparably. Cattle are growing in
numbers in this section of country.
The farmer realizes that,i like his
brother in Minnesota, Ohio, Illinois
and other states east of him, farm is
not complete without cattle, but he at
the same time realizes that his cattle
have no more right to trample down the
grain of his neighbor than he has to
turn his pigs loose into his neighbor's
paror. Then members of the legisla-
ture should remember that the proposed
bill will work hardship OH great many
settlers in the counties that are off
shoots from the Northern Pacific bridge.

honorably discharged at the close of the
war. He is now a member of John +.
Reynolds post, Il. A. r., at Fargo.
He is a member of the l. O. o. F.,

these organizations. In 1877, he in
company with anumbef of others, went
to the Black Hills in search of fortune,
but was glad enough to get away with
sufficient money to pay expenses home.
In 1879 he came to Fargo and engaged
in the business of wine merchant and
has succeeded in building up nice pay

the business men of the city. His at

THE CUSTER KICKERs

Amendments Proposed by Mr..

Special to the Globe.
RAPID CITY, OAK, Jan. 25.-Some of
the Custer county people continue to
insist that the GLOBES correspondent
is Supposed to opening the reservation OPP
posite to that county. In this the good
people are mistaken. The writer is
fully in sympathy with the move to
open the reservation, as the Custer
county cranks wish it, but does not be-
lieye that the method of opposing the
measure in the whole, simply because
it does not provide as they wish it, will
add anything to their chances for sue
cess. In fact, Senator Dawes has seen
fit to change the boundaries in his bill,
and put the line still further north than
the line complained of. One gentle
man here, in referring to this, says if
the Custer county people will only keep
UP their kick they will succeed in stop
ping all legislation on the subject. 1t
is altogether probable that, so far as
the present congress is CONCERNED. such
legislation has already been stopped.

generally. Mr.. Mcclure has accom-

but very little in directing immigration

an immigration commissioner for each

missioner plan would certainly give
greater satisfaction than is had under

RAPID CRY, Jan. 25.-Sone weeks
ago man from the country short dis
lance south of town broughtin a large
specimen of some white substance to
inquire into its character. 1t was pro-
nounced kaolin by many, bat an ex-
animation and analysis at the school of
mines proved it was not, but Instead
was natural cement. 1t contains a
certain percentage of lime, rendering it
valueless as. kaolin, but yet so intimate
is the mixture of line and clay that it is
almost invaluable as cement. In the
manufacture of cement a great diff
Guilty has always been experienced in
securing mixture sufficiently intimate
between the lime and clay. Here it ex-
lists in a natural state, the compenents
being so closely mingled as to require
an acid bath to separate them. A small
portion of lime mingled mechanically
with this produces cement which sets
as hard as granite, and is to all appear
ances as enduring. A company IS being
formed to manufacture cement from it.

RAPID CITY, Jan. 25.-The Rapid City
Literary association was formed in 1880.
AT that time Rapid City was stray
Cling hamlet, and the few residents
were limited in the way of amusements
to such entertainments as they could
devise among themselves. The plan OF
public library suggested itself to some
enthusiastic mind, and when the
thought was promulgated it was eagerly
seized upon. In short time the
scheme was under way, and in 1882 the
association was Incorporated with a
capital of $500 in 100 shares of $25
each, of which about two-th irds were
taken and fully paid up. The assoeia-
ton then owned a fine building and the
ground on which it was located, all hay
ing been paid out of the proceeds of
amateur theatricalS, etc. At the pres
ent time the association property has
value of at least $1,000, and
there is handsome sum of money
in the treasury. The building has,
however, outlived its usefulness, and
another move is under way to replace it
with handsome opera house this sum-
iiiCi. OuCIo- vi SIOV ID SIldTc I0i TIC
forty-three shares of stock that remain
in the treasury have been made, and the
association has assurance of all money
necessary to erect the proposed build
ing. 1t is intended to commence work
as early in tire spring as possible. The
building will be at least 50x1o0 feet IN
size, with two stories devoted to opera
house purposes and one to reading room
and library uses. 1t can easily be seen
how such a building will furnish an
elegant place of public resort to Rapid
City people. There is a lively interest
taken in the plan, and as those who are
handling it are men of energy, it is a
safe assumption that as early in the
spring as work can be commenced this
building will be begun. The Masons,
too. have arranged for the money need
ed to erect their temple, and expect to
begin on it at an early date. This build
ing will cost not less than $4,000, and
will be the finest structure OF the kind
in Dakota. Rapid City feels confident
OF having at least two handsome public
buildings added during 1889.
