STABBING IN OENTRALIA.

The Ashland Telegram gives the
following account of a stabbing affray
at Centralia one day last week
Centralia was the scene of serious
stabbing affray at two o'clock this
morning. Patrick Gallagher single
man of a6 years with other Centralia
boys attended the picnic held at North
Ashland grove yesterday afternoon.
They imbibed little too freely in con-
sequence of which they became some
what ,quarelsome. They remained on
the picnic grounds until about I o'clock
when they started over the hill to Cen
tralia. AS they were passing down the
street they came upon Kane, and a
few hot words passed between him
and Gallagher, which resulted in
bloody affray. When it ended Kane
was found to be stabbed in several
places. and the blood flowing freely
from the wounds. He was quickly
carried to DR.. Gwinner's residence,
and not a minute too soon-had they
been u minute later the man would
have been corpse. The doctor sue
ceeded in stopping the flow of blood,
and the injured man was taken to-his
home which was only short distance
away. Other physicians were sum-
moned, and the injuries were quickly
dressed, Eight knife wounds were
found in his body Several of which re-
quired number of stitches. The most
serious is one inflicted on the left arm
near the shoulder, the main arteries
being severed. 1t is likely that the
member will have to be amputated, as
the cash in it is so deep that there is
scarcely any more than the bone hold
ing the arm, his coat was literally hack
and he also received several cuts about
the head. A Telegram representa-
tive called at his home to interview
him but his condition is such as debars
any visitors. Constable James
Thompson was notified and he went
to the home of Gallagher, where be
found him slumbering sweetly. He
was taken at once 10 the stone Jug.
The Telegram man called at the jail,
and succeeded in getting an inter-
view. He tells the following story o.
He was walking down streetin COM
pany with Richard O'Brien to whom
he was speaking concerning a fight
which. had taken place between Kane
and a young man named Brennan.
As they passed John Curry's residence
Kane, who had been lying on the porch
and heard his name mentioned Jump
ed up with the remark, ''yes, and Tn
here yet" The hot words, that follow
ed brought Thomas Horan and Bryan
Dane, friends of Kane, to the scene.
Gallagher claims that Kane being urg-
ed by his friends forced the fight and
struck him first. He then drew his
knife and threatened to use it on any
who attacked him. He says Kane was
again encouraged and the affray began,
resulting as stated above.
Those who witnessed in addition to
those mentioned above were, William
Higgins and Richard O'Brien, and
they might have averted bloodshed by
timely interference.
Kane is 20 years old and is a son OF
the widow Mrs Owen Kane. He is
spoken of as quiet young man, and
is not any way quarrelsome.
Gallagher is said to be possessed
with an inclination to fistic affairs, and
when conered will use a knife without
hesitation. '"h -'f'' .''

Some Politics.
MORE GuBERSAToElAL CANDIDATES.

A Yankton special to the Sioux City
journal includes Hon. Robert }. Gam
BILE among the probable candidates for
governor. The peadwood Pioneer has
i%nterviewd Senator f. j. Washabaugh
on this question and learned hat he is
not a candidate but may later on con-
sent to run. If the people of the Hills
can unite on a man, they will stand a
good chance of winning. The Ellis are
justly entitled to recognition on the
state ticket and when the people make
u ptheir minds to come united they will
get all they ask. The people Of this
part of the state + very friendly to
the Hills and whenever our delegation
can assist a Hills man to secure a
nomination it will gladly do so.-
Pierre Capital.
The Hills doesn't seem to have a can
didate for any thing just now excep-
ting Hot Springs, which is a lively
candidate for the republican state
nominating convention, and for this
the Hills is united. DO we stand a
good chance of winning. and will we
get all we ask? If you are friendly to
the Hills help us when we do come
united and ask for something.
NEVER RECEIVED ITS JUST RECOGNITION.
Hot Springs has commenced a move
ment to secure the republican state
convention at that place. The move
ment is timely. We are pleased to see
the Black Hills press generally backing
the idea. Never in the history of the
Hills has this section received the re-
cognition at the hands of either party
to which it was and is entitled. Hot
Springs has two railroads, giving it
rail connections with all parts of the
state. by the time of the holding of the
convention it will have ample hotel
accommodations. 1t is just within
the threshold of the Hills, and there is
no good reason why it should not be
selected.-Spcartish Register.

Baking Powder IN the New York
Legislature.

The following, from "The Oil, Paint
and Drug Reporter" refers to a new
bill just introduced in the legislature
of New York State:
1.-The latest development in the bak-
ing powder war, is the introduction of
a bill in the Legislature of this State,
requiring all packages of baking
powder which contain ammonia, to be
branded with q statement Of that fact
in large type on the label.
Now while the ammonia contention
is on, why cannot the law give the
public the benefit of the doubt?
Wholly unprecedented people are Ger
tainly not willing to be dosed with the
substance acknowledged as a poison,
simply because scientists, some of whom
are not even ~physioloists, d,sagreeas to
its potency"
A similar bill was introduced last
April but it is shrewdly surmised that
the influence of interested parties
prevented its passage. The provisions
of the present bill are So just that it
probably will soon become a law.

The county republican convention
last Tuesday was a most harmonious
one, and there was no reason why it
should not be so. While 1t was i'm.
portaut in a political sense, inasmuch
assthe delegates chosen primarily have
a voice in naming the coming candi-
date for president, it was still more
important to Hot Springs from a bust.
ness standpoint, for those delegates
chosen can do this place a great
amount of good toward securing the
state nominating convention. 1t is
probable that the place of holding that
convention will be virtually deter.
drined upon at Chamberlain, and with
a solid, united delegation of eleven
hard workers on the ground, with the
united assistance of the various Black
HILLS delegates, we have good reasons
for believing that the state convention
will be held at Hot Springs. 1t IS a
prize that is indeed desirable. and IN
the delegation that goes from this
county to Chamberlain, other cities
that may aspire to securing the state
convention will find a strong body of
men to contend with. They will have
no apologies to offer in behalf of Hot
Springs, but ask that the convention
be- held here in all fairness to over five
thousand republican voters.
The harmonious convention Tuesday
will probably result in this city secur.
ing its object, and this is bnt a pointer
to opposing political parties to look out
for republican unity and consequent
lcoptrol of politics hereabouts this year.

The Chicago Tribune has been in.
ccssantly insisting that Blame should
be nominated for president. Even
since his withdrawal the Tribune has
been booming HIM, but now it falls
into the Harrison line and says: "Mr.
Harrison not only ought to be re.nom-
mated, but he will be re-nominatcd.'
1t would really seem foolish for South
Dakota to attempt to elect any other
than straight out and out Harrison
men to the Minneapolis convention.
