A CHANCE FOR VICTORY.
South Dakota Democrats Will
Nominate a Ticket.
France Demands That England
Evacuate Egypt.
Texas Robbers Hold Up a Pas
sanger Train.

ST. PAUL, MINI, June l0--Tomorrow
at Aberdeen, s. d., the Democrats will
hold a state convention to nominate the
first party ticket in what promises 10 be
one of the most exciting and uncertain
elections ever held in a one-sided state.
Last October the vote for governor in
South Dakota was: Republican, SO, 964;
Democratic, %, $40. However, there are
factors 10 this years battle which have
been absent heretofore. Last week the
Farmers Alliance, in convention at
Huron, organized an independent party
and called a convention to meet July 9, to
nominate a state and congressional ticket.
1t is claimed by the Farmers Alliance
that their membership exceeds 80, 900,
most OF whom the leaders expect to carry
with them to the new party. 1t Is gener-
ally acknowledged hat most of these will
come from the Republican party, in which
case the present political status of South
Dakota may be materially changed.

There is probably not another ten-mile
stretch of railroad in the world more
varied and majestic in its surroundings
than that from Point OF Rocks TO Harper's
Ferry. The Valley of the Potomac mar
rows, the hills on either side rise to the
stateliness of mountains, and the river
flows swiftly in ripples and eddies. Just
below the ferry, the river, increased
by the Shenandoah's volume, becomes
a torrent. On the opposite side is
Loudon Heights, a sentinel of the Blue
Ridge. dark and frowning. Beyond
Virginia and into West Virginia, the
base of the two states and ending in the
swift flowing stream which separates
them, Bolivar Heights start abruptly up
with Harper's Ferry at their feet. The
train, still upon the opposite side. winds
beneath Maryland Heights, thirteen
hundred feet high. The meeting ofthese
three mighty forest crowned masses, the
two rivers becoming but one, the long
vista up the Potomac, in the foreground
the steel bridge aud behind it John
Browns fort and the old'fashioned houses
OF the town, the ruins of the arsenal
whose two tall chimneys alone remain.
Jefferson's Rock high on the heights, and
over all a September sky-expression
fails the theme.
The scene described above can be
viewed from the windows of the Vesti-
buled Trains running between the great
cities of the East and West via Baltimore
& Ohio railroad. All B. & o. trains
run via Washington.

CHICAGO, June GA revival of the
story that G. p. Huntington was going
to do all in his power to defeat the ar
engagements to secure for Senator STAN
ford a reelection to the United States
senate, appeared yesterday in a long arti-
Gle On California politics which was pub
llshed in this city. The TriIuue says:
When this was shown to Huntington he
treated it in tie same way as he has such
reports heretofore, by saying: Mr..
Stanford is out of the railroad presidency
and am out OF politics, If the people
of California want to send such a man
back to the senate they can do it, so far
as | am concerned.

A Finland newspaper mentions a Gu
rious stone IN the northern part of that
country, which serves the people in
stead of a barometer. This stone,
which they call "Ilmakiur," turns
black, or blackish gray, when foul
weather is approaching; fine weather
has the effect of turning it almost
white. The Firms regard the stone
with superstitious reverence, but the
scientists say that its changes in color
are due to salts contained in its compo-
sitiOn.
