WORDS FITLY SPOKEN.

Hon. Sol Star, mayor of Deadwood,
delivered the address of welcome to the
visiting Odd Fellows and their friends
last week, and although brief it contains
volumes. He said:
1t makes me feel proud to look down
upon the vast multitude of faces-men
who are linked together by a tie of
friendship and fraternity that has proven
insoluble. Your institution has stood
the test of all ages; it has marched side
by side with civilization, and has ever
been popular with the moral and in
telligent class of citizens. You came
here as the champions of liberty and
truth and not with steaming banners
and glittering swords, nor to contest
with flesh and blood. You came, how
ever, to counsel and prepare campaign
against any and all wrongs, errors and
injustice, and in behalf of truth and hu-
manity. You came as the representatives
of principles which are as old as the
rivers, and as firmly fixed as these
mighty mountains in their beds. You
came as the friend of liberty, the cham
pion of truth and right, and as such
representatives, On behalf of all those
who inhabit these gold ribbed and silver
filled mountains, I bid You cordial
greeting, bid you, welcome TO Dead
wood, a city inhabited by people from
every state in the union and from all
countries beyond the seas; to a city of
endless chains of mountain panorama
to a city of bright skies and balmy air;
to a city where invalids find health and
poverty wealth; to a city wherein the
homes are locked with latch strings
hanging on the outside; and in short TO
all We have while you remain. We ex.
tend to you cordial hospitality. firm in
the belief that yonr eyes are never closed
to appeals for charity; that at the bed.
side OF the sick you are always to be
found, and that yonr watchwords are to
feed the hungry, clothe the naked, and
protect and defend those depending upor
you. On behalf of the citizens, I, al
mayor, humbly bid you welcome, and
tender you the freedom, good will and
sympathy OF this community.

State Land Commissioner o. H.

Croft. Mr.. Parker wrote to the United

ing the selection of state lands, where
there were no public lands in the land

land, in any other portion OF the state.
In reply Commissioner Croft says that
under the act he will hold that Mr..

decision is better understood when it is
known that Mr.. Parker viii have to select

Dynamite i'm a Sheaf of Rye.

EVANSVILLE, Ind, July S1.-John
B. Day was arrested yesterday on a
charge of having placed two dyna-
mite cartridges, eight inches long, in
sheaf OF rye. AS it was about to be
placed in the thresher, the sheaf fell
apart and the cartridges dropped out
thus providentially avoiding ira
gedy as there were six men at work
and all would undoubtedly have
been killed. Day, some two or
three months ago, eloped with
q thirteen-year-old girl, but was over
taken and brought back and warned
to keep away from the child. He
swore vengeance against the father,
and Tuesday came to town, bought
the cartridges and placed them in the
rye, expecting they would be fed into
the machine by the girls father. IN
dignation against Day is very great
and fears are entertained that he may
be lynched.

in debate that he used it for the pur-
pose of bribing newspapers, is no
longer to be applied to secret service
purposes. The money placed at the
disposal of the chancellor will be
duly accounted for in the public docu-
ments. Chancellor Won Caprivi also
publishes an account of the uses to
which the fund has been applied in
former years, but the vagueness and
lack of detail leave the exact dispo-
sition of certain sums q matter of
conjecture, so that Bismarck's famous
statement remains unchallenged.

A Funny Burglar.

A queer kind of burglary was COM
mitted at Fred's saloon on Soledad
street some time during last night.
The burglary was queer one from
the fact that nothing was stolen, al
though tumbler full of money was
sitting back of the bar, and was found
intact this morning. Entrance was
effected through the side door in
the front in the triangle at
the loot of a fight of stairs
leading to the second floor. A
panel of this door was cut and sawed
out neatly and an aperture large
enough to admit of a mans body was
made. This is the second burglarious
attempt made upon this saloon in a
very short time.

A Bread Famine in Chicago.

large establishments are part of the
American Biscuit company, accede to
the demands of their striking jour-
neymen bakers, it has been decided
by the Bakers union to declare a
shut down of every bakery in the
city, including those that have ac-
coded to the strikers terms. The
journeymen see their opportunity, In
fact that business is and is likely to
be very heavy, and private families to
a large extent, prefer to buy bread
rather than make 1t, and the Odd
Fellows cantonment in this city next
week will cause heavy increased de-
mand for loaves and rolls. Messrs.
Aldrich and Bremner have refused
the strikers demands and If they
persist in it, a bread famine seems in
eyitable.
