smoking South Dakota.

RAPID CITY, s. D. August 14.-In
the southern hills, within sight of the
city, dark volumes ofsmoke are rising
from region considered to be 20 miles
in extent. The wind at one time
cleared the atmosphere between that
and this city when a good view was
obtained. The fire, which it proved to
be, is i'm the immense quantity of tim
Der land lying between the hills and
Rockford. 1t originated from light
ming which struck ten days or
more ago. The fire is spreading all
the time in every direction and con-
sumes everything in the way. 1t
already has destroyed a great
deal of good timber. Last
week some person in passing along
the road near Lockwood's ranch
threw the contents of a pipe on the
dry grass close to Lockwoods house.
1t soon caught and dangerous prai-
RE fire is the result.

THE Bonham News, apparently for
getful of the smooth things prophe-
cised for Fort Worth at the time OF
the election of Pendleton as major,
says:
Monday the election for mayor of
Fort Worth resulted in favor of John
Peter Smith. Mr.. Smith has done
more for the building up of Fort
Worth than any other one man, and
will make good mayor. We don't
think he will have time to run off
with a woman as Pendleton did, as
he is a strictly business man"
The gospel of gush has not been
discredited yet, but the time is COM
ing when it will be. Pendleton was
hailed as the representative of bust
ness, and now we are to infer that
there was no business in him. This
is no business.

Whereas. The Republicans of Ramsey
county will, on the 9th inst, meet i'll con-
yention for the purpose Of nominating both
county and a legislative ticket; and
Whereas, The vast interests OF this county,
and especially of this city, demand at this
whose known characters and regulations
amply guarantee their ability and trust
worthiness in the discharge of duty, Official
or otherwise; and
Whereas, The rank and file of the Repub-
lican party are replete with men competent

adorn any position within the gift or keep
ing of the people of this county; therefore,
Resolved, That it is the sense of this meet
ing that the several delegates hereafter to be
selected to represent this ward at the said
convention strive 10 secure the nomination
of men who are known to possess that lnteg-
rity of purpose and familiarity with public
affairs essential to the efficiency of public

proud to say, to select other than Repub-
leans to represent this senatorial and repre-
sentative districts at the next session of the
legislature.
Resolved. That while it is the earnest de-
sire of this meeting that our senators and
representatives discharge their respective
duties with Que regard to the best interests
of ali, vet we cannot close our eyes to the
fact that the development of the inter urban
district is more or less retarded by want OF
judiciOus legislation. ant, insist that we shall
expect the heartieSt endeayorS on the part OF
! those whom we shall select to represent us at
| the next legislature in securing the passage
of such measures as shall meet the just de-
mandS of this ward.

A PENCIL SKETCH

OF the Late Edward G. Agnew,
Who Will Be Buried To-Day.
Mrs. Senator Davis returned yester-
day afternoon from Washington to at
tend the funeral of her father. the late
Edward G. Agnew, which will take
place from her residence. $50 Earring
ton avenue, at o'clock this afternoon.
Mrs. Davis was in the gallery of the
senate on Saturday, listening to a
speech by Senator Hoar, when she re-
ceived the telegram announcing her be-
reavement. She was tenderly attached
to her father, and took the first train
for st. Paul.
Edward G. Agnew was the second
man in st. Paul to enlist, and ir April,
1861. marched out with the First Mime
sofa regiment. He was fine musician,
and volunteered in that capacity. but
when he participated in every one of
the twenty-one battles fought by his
regiment, he dropped his clarionet
and shouldered musket. In
1862, at the second battle of
Bull Run, he volunteered to
carry the hospital knapSack. The day
was exceedingly hot, and he suffered a
sunstroke, the result being permanent
injury to his eyes. AS a soldier he was
extremely popular, and though he
served throughout the war as private,
he was always regarded model soldier.
He was born in County Antrim, Ire
land, and came of a soldier race, his
father having cen yeoman in the
service. He was one Of eleven brothers,
and singularly enough, while all of
them fought for ENGLAND in the Crimean
and Indian wars, he came over and
fought for the federal forces. He was a
carpenter by occupation, and was a
splendid musician, at one time boasting
fine voice. The most remarkable
thing about him was his retentive mem
DRY, and as he was a great reader, he
had mind wonderfully stored, and was
fine cOnversatlonalist.

FooTLIGHT AND FOYER.

While minStrelsy reigned loudly at
the Newmarket last night, the WIlburS
lid clubhouse business at the Harris
with Offenbach's comic opera, princes
Of Trebizonde." The opera is an hilari-
ous one throughout, and by all odds the
Ioudest thing the clever company ever
presented in this city. The music,
while not all new, embodied much that
was Sprightly, and the dance-featureS of
the first act evoked deserved applause.
Belle Hamilton is in her element as
Regina" a rope walker, and the grace
with which she sets to rapture the bald
headed soul in the front row is the most
delicate and pleasing attraction i'll the
first act. Mr.. Kohnle plays the part of
a real circus clown with the spirit of an
old Stager. Mr.. Jones is a ludicrous
success as 'Cabriola, show
man, and Mr.. Ryan and Mr.
Ire Denick are quantity entertaining.
Miss Kirwin again appears in new
costume, in which shellooks ravishingly
pretty. Ladies who admire the taste
displayed in the dress of the company
should bestoW praise upon the charming
little soubrette; for it is she who de-
signs and often makes with her own
little ''swift-hying needle" the costumes
which deck the shapeliness of the Will
bur aggregation. AS Prince Raphael,
Miss Kirwin is gay and handsome, May
Baker looks dangerous and deviliSh as
"Paoli, Heavy Woman" but she makes
a typical Gypsy and an impetuous
aspirant for ancestral glory. No more
charming and winsome ''Zanetta, the
Princess of TrebiZonde," has ever been
seen in these parts than the character
enacted by Miss Maggie BoltOn-Mrs.
IRE Denick. All the week, usual matt
neeS.
That hiStrionic melodrama, "Uncle
Toms Cabin" will be presented at the
Newmarket theater the latter part of
this week, commencing with Thurs
day evening. This play, like minstrel
troupe, always draws well. The sale of
seats will begin at the box office this
morning.
80
That popular aggregation, Primrose
and Vests MINISTRIES, drew another
packed house at the Newmarket last
night. The features were presented in
that bright and attractive manner for
which the company is noted and,
together with the local hits, kept the
audience in the best of humor.

The Olympic is drawing good houses
and giving good show this week.
