Al effort was made yesterday to create
sectional strife by the circulation of a story
that Mayor Gourley had contemplated in
viting Bishop Phelan to the Fourth of July

fear of exciting the ire Of the American Me-

Mayor Gourley promptly denied the story
when asked about it. Later he learned that
the whole thing was originated with the ex-
press purpose of creating a strife.

A Plan to Prevent Frost /.

Artificial frost prevention is now
suggested as an outgrowth Of Sen
ator Farwell's scheme for artificial
rain production. 1t is proposed to
use the same agencies that are
employed in the cloud. compelling
experiments. Mr.. l.. G.sKniffen,
Of Chicago, has written a letter to
Secretary Rusk explaining the
theory. Mr.. Knifien was formerly
purchasing agent of the Wiscon-
sin State Grange. He says the OBJ
s%ervations made during twenty
years in cranberry marshes have
led him to believe that the Farewell
plan may be made to include frost
prevention, and thus prove a great
benefit to the farmers. He sites
the fact that the frosts are never
felt on a cloudy night, and gives
a number of experiences in the
cranberry bushes to show the
slightest haze has the power to
ward off the frost. In one instance
he tells of watching with a Their
mometer in hand while the mer-
curry was dropping to freezing and
was within two degrees of destroy
ing the cranberry crop when an al
most inpalpable mist came up with
the result that the berries were
not injured. MIR. Kniffen also
calls attention to the plan which
the farmers of Dakota have been
following this year in keeping off
the frost by burning hay and straw
and thus creating a smudge which
proves an impenetrable veil to
the colder atmosphere. His
theory is that the clouds or artih-
cial mists prevent the radiation OF
the heat from the earth. He sug,
gests that the machinery and ma
%terials used by Col. Dyrenforth
in causing rain to be tested as a
means of bringing the clouds near
to the earth and of creating a fog,
which will be a preventive agains,
the ravages of the frost.

The Outlook in South Dakota.

John IL. King, Of Chamberlain,
5. d., has returned from his vaca-
ton, and says: "South Dakota
has been election ridden for the
past three years and the people are
getting tired. The hope the demo-
Gratis entertained that the Alliance
would fuse with them is not to be
realized although the democrats
claim they helped the Alliance
elect a senator last winter. But
even if the leaders agree to fuse,
the rank and file of the Alliance
will not follow them. They claim
they are much stronger than the
democrats, and that it would be
foolish for them to help elect a
democrat. There will be three
tickets in the field, and the Repub-
licans have the most votes if they
will come out. Among the can
didates in the field for the republi-
can nomination are w. v. Lucas,
now of Hot Springs, but formerly
.of Chamberlain; Edwin Van Csc,
of Deadwood; E. B. Martin, of
Deadwood; and Col. Gardnes, of
Rapid City. Thes are all from the
Black Hills, while L. b. French,
of Yankton; L. M. Preston, Of
Mitchell and ]. M. Green, of
Chamberlain, are among those who
are i'll it from the eastern part OF
the state. The northern portion
of the state comedies the
second member to the southern
portion. Ex-Congressman Clifford
and ex-Committeeman Edwards
will not be candidates, nor will the
brother of the late Mr.. Gamble, as
has been reported. Senator Petit
grew is not mixing in the fight be-
fore the convention, but says he
will do all he can to elect the re-
publican nominee as soon as he is
named. The big crop which South
Dakota has raised this year makes
the calamity campaigners feel
somewhat discouraged, but they
are circulating leads of literature
in every part of the state"

The Electrical Block Signal System.

The Electrical Block Signal System.
A STAR reporter on o%verhearing e
conversation in regard to the electrical
block signal system, the new patent in
which &c. Dickover is patentee and
in which several of our citizens are
interested, proceeded to learn a few
facts III regard to II. Some time ago,
a description was given of it in the
SrAE SO that no attempt will be made
now to relterate the facts stated then.
We learn that the model IN process of
erection will be completed this week
and placed on exhibition in Chicago,
the model to he of the same size as
those that will be manufactured in the
near future.
One of the Cincinnati papers. under
the heading of 1.-The Value of Patents
speaks of several stock companies that
are to be formed to manufacture a
number of patents, completed and OBJ
tanned, and among other, speaks ofthe
above patent in the following glowing
terms:
"Still another is being formed to
pnsh an electrical block SIGNAL system.
which is doubtless destined to become
universally used and which will be as
nearly a perfect safeguard against ac-
cidents as ran be devised"
The parties interested in this ratent
have received an offer of $4,000.
which was rejected, holding the same
at a much higher figure.
The inventors have received propo.
%sitions from both the Northwestern &
and Il. & NJ. roads to make a trial on
the invention 1t their yards, and it
will he done in one or the other at
Chicago. a model will also be mt
on exhibition at the worlds fair in 80.
It is sincerely hoped the inventor may
meet with success in the trial. and the
STAR has perfect confidence that such
will be the case.

The suggestion of tho name of Cap
tain Lucas for congress seems to meet
with hearty approval. The captain is
recognized as a man of unimpeachable
character and stalwart republicanism.
Then, too, he has not been mixed with
any factions or clicks. nor has he ever
pr0stituted politics to the mere mire of
simply advancing individuals at what
over cost of right or party integrity.
He has always stood for purity in poll
tics, honesty in ofice-holders and party
championship Of all classes. He is an
earnest man and an eloquent stump
speaker and could work up as much
enthusiasm as any mar that could be
put up.
