The temperance of the "Thps-
plan Company at the Dickinson
opera house on Tuesday night in the
reproduction Of the American Drama
"Over the Hills" was greeted with
one of the largest rs well us the most
appreciative audiences we have had
the pleasure of seeing. Although
there was no storm of applause, one
could see that the audience was under
control of the actors, by the number
of landkerchiefs visible at times and
the storm of laughter when "only
Nimrod" was visible.
The leading characters, w. a.
McCloy, us Hugh Floyd and Mrs. +.
l.. Scolield as Mrs. Floyd the mother
who was Obliged to go the Poor House,
was to say the least, faultless; and
the scene where Hugh Floyd, the son,
returns and finds his poor old mother
in the Poor House Was very effective
and not many dry eyes were visible.
All the actors show IL marked i'm
provement over their first appear
ance and surprised the audience by
the able manner which each one
handled their part.
Dave Klinefeltcr as Il comedian is a
wonder; one to hear him is in doubt of
his nationality, so perfect is his dia.
lect it is hard to say whether he is a
gentleman oh sunburnt descent" a
Swede, a Sheney, Frenchman, an
Irishman or Il Dutchman.
From the glowing accounts received
from Mandan and Glendive the Thes
plans must have done themselves
proud abroad us we'll as at home
The management of the company
was in the hands of w. A. McCloy
who is to be congratulated OH his
success as manager, and his ability to
assign the different parts and stage
the play SO we'll. Taken as "a whole w,
think Dickinson can justly feel prout
of her dramatic club, and hope they
will soon come again.

The Gigantic Federation Now in Conven-
tion at Columbus, Ohio.
CoLuMMus, Ohio, Feb. 11.-High
above the stage of the city hall in ever
green letters foot long, hangs the
motto: Eight hours, only, per day. ="
Elsewhere upon the walls of the spacious
room are other mottoes having similar
import. They express the sentiment and
indicate the future demands of the
United Mine Workers of America, whose
first annual convention has begun here
The American Federation, it is known
has selected the giant miners organiza-
ton to make the next great national
struggle for eight hours. Thousands of
workmen, with an almost perfect organ
ization and backed by millions of dol
lars, will be engaged in the battle against
aggregated capital. At this Mine Work
ers' annual convention it is expected
that much of the preliminary detail of
the impending battle will be arranged.
About 10000 Men
will be directly involved in the contest.

The officers and leading members Of
the United Mine Workers have no hesi-
fancy in saying that the chief and para
mount business of the convention is the
preparing for fight for the eight-hour
day. There will, however, be no imme-
diate strike. The miners are already
arranging to
Collect a Defense Fund
of 81 100000 by May /. For six weeks
prior to that date it is calculated that
at least 100000 of the members of the
Federation of Labor will be willing to
contribute 10 cents each per week, max
ing $500, 900 from that source. The sew
eral miners organizations that are COM
bined in the United Mine Workers of
America have over $500, 900 already in
the bank, and calculate that the total
can he swollen before the battle begins
to approximate 81 100000.

Our Reciprocity Treaty with Braz
Makes the British Trader Uneasy.

Our Reciprocity Treaty with Brazil
Makes the British Trader Uneasy.
LONDON, Feb. 10.-The reciprocity
treaty between the United States and
Brazil has aroused much uneasiness in
trading circles here, and especially as,
by the governments own admission,
there is no obligation on Brazil to accord
similar favors to England. English
merchants have we'll established houses
at Rio de Janeiro and other Brazilian
cities, and the British trade with the
republic is very valuable. It is feared
that much of this will be lost to Eng
land. The course of the Brazilian gov
ernment favoring American trade is
attributed to the hesitations shown in
Europe to recognize the republic, and to
the fact that Dom Pedro, the exiled
emperor, is connected by the ties of kim
dred with the ruling house of England
and Germany, the last named country
especially having put off recognition un-
til recently.
No Commercial Treaty with Brazil.
LONDON. Feb. 10.-Sir James Fergus
son, of the foreign Office, answering a
question to parliament relating to the
American reciprocity treaty with Brazil
and as to whether Great Britain would
have equal commercial advantages in
Brazil with those bestowed by the treaty
on the United States, replied that Great
Britain had no commercial treaty with
Brazil and could not, therefore, demand
the same trading rights as those be-
slowed by the treaty on the United
States.

bulletin was given out: "The result of
the consultation between Doctors Jane
way and Alexander shows that there
has been no Improvement in Gen. Sher-
mans condition" DR.. Janeway left the
house rs soon as the consultation was
ended, but DIR. Alexander remained. He
looked for no change during the night
in the generals condition and no more
bulletins will be given out.
At IL :45 o'clck the Rev. Father Mat
thew A. Taylor of the Church of the
Blessed Sacrament, was sent for by some
members of the family and he arrived at
the house few minutes later.
AT 1:15 a. III. a message was sent to

better come to the house.
Rev. Father Turner left Gen. Sherman
at 2:3U, and said the general was much
worse and sinking rapidly.

NEW York. Feb. 12.-The report cir
culatcd at 30 p. III. that Gen. Sherman
had brcathed his last was contradicted
few moments afterward and the suf-
ferer is now in better condition than his
friends had reason to expect.
During the early part of the evening
the generals condition changed but lit
tie. At s:15 the generals son issued the
following bulletin: Gen. Sher1nan's
condition is absolutely unchanged.
Two policemen were stationed in front
of the house and prevented any gather
ing in front of the doors. Senator Sher-
man left the house shortly after 8 o'clock
and went to the house of Il friend to
spend the night.
Hoping Against Hope.
AT half-past eight the Rev. T. Dewitt
Talmage and Mrs. Talmage called. Fif-
teen minutes later they came out. DR..
Talmage said that he had found the gen
eral ina better condition than he ex-
pected to.
Gen. Sherman" he said, "is con-
scious at intervals and recognizes those
who are about him. When spoken to
he answers yes or no, but that is the ex-
tent of his conversation. After an effort
of this kind he lapses into state of
semi 1t is very sad. His
family are all hoping for the best, but it
seems almost like hoping for the impos-
sible. From present indications should
say that there is no likelihood of his de-
mise within the next twenty-four hours
AT 9 o'clock another bulletin was is-
sued stating that the general was hold
ing his own. His son said that he ex-
pected no great OF sudden change in his
fathers condition during the night or
even during the next twenty-four hours.
AT 10 o'clock this bulletin was sent
out: Gen. Sherman slightly better
since last bulletin"
Mr.. Sherman made this statement at
the same time he sent out the above bull
letin: my father is resting somewhat
easier now. AT II o'clock the doctors
will have another consultation. When
they have finished the house will be
closed for the night and no more bulle-
tins will be issued"
