Governor Peck in the CITY.

Governor Peck of Wisconsin, accom-
panied by party of half dozen friends
who have been enjoying hunt in the
Turtle Mountain region, came in on the
train from the north Tuesday even
ing. While waiting half an hour for the
east-bound train, Governor Peck
accorded an Alert representative an
interview upon political subjects, IN
which he took occasion to say that the
democrats are reasonably sure of
carrying Wisconsin, and that he believed
several other northwestern states would
cast their electoral votes for Cleveland.
He good naturedly remarked that the
republicans would carry Maine, and
might save Vermont-an evidence that
the celebrated "bad boy" still re-
tains a fondness for exaggerated
humor. Questioned in regard to
the supreme court decision IN
the Wisconsin gerrymander cases, the
governor said there was but one thing to
do; he would call special session of the
legislature upon arriving at Madison
and a new apportionment will be made.
He added with considerable spirit that
1.-The republicans have gerrymapdered
the state for twenty years, but when we
take party advantage they plead the
baby act and call upon the courts to save
them. We can lick them, though, any
way, AID will do it in good shape this
fall. Not because they have weaker
candidates., but owing to the evident
fact that the state has become reliably
Democratic" The governor says himself
and friends had poor luck at shooting
but enjoyed their trip into North
Dakota immensely.

thresher. Friday night two men went
to the machine and with hammer broke
every pulley on the separator and also
injured the engine. The men we're
tracked to another machine, and are be-
lieved to be the feeder and engineer Of
another crew. Warrants are out for their
arrest, and if the case is proved against
them it will go hard with them. The
farmers are determined to have these
outrages stopped, as their, frequency
hurts the state. 1t is only a week or so
since dynamite cartridge was put in
another machine in Richland county and
it was blown all to pieces. but fortunate
ly no one was hurt. The perpetrators
were not discovered that time, but good
proofs exist this time.

up the stairs. He did this with pistol,
and as he looked the very incarnation Of
anger, his discouraging words we're very
effectual indeed.
Sheriff Donnelly attempted to mount
the stairs but was threatened with death
it he approached, and was forced to
abandon the attempt to secure the man.
The sight of his wife also exasperated
him greatly and he threatentel to kill
her and anyone who approached with
her. The fire which he started before
committing suicide nearly consumed
the house before the fire department
could extinguish the flames.

INVESTING IN SILVER MINES

Purchases Of a Syndicate, Repre-.
sented by Richard Sykes.
The value of silver mines in the newly
discovered Monte Cristo region of the
state of Washington is getting more
.widely known each month. Heavy
investments have already been made
both by home and foreign capitalists in
these properties, and with railroad con.
nections now being built it is claimed
that the district will rapidly develope
into one of the richest and most famous
in the country. The Northern Pacific
road will doubtless have branch into
that region soon. The latest report of
large purchases of undeveloped claims in
that district is found in the Seattle
papers. James Sheehan, formerly a
resident OF North Dakota and now a we'll
known and prosperous citizen Of Seattle,
has sold to an English syndicate, repre-
senting capital ot several millions, a
group of mines, and the new company
expect to spend sl50,000 within the next
year in development work. The names
of the representatives of the English
syndicate are familiar TO The Alert
readers, being Hon. Richard Sykes of
Manchester, Eng, and P. B. Groat, Gen.
eral Emigration Agent Of the Northern
Pacific. Both gentlemen have recently
visited the mines in person, and IN CON-
pany with experts and it is said had the
authority to purchase what properly was
deemed desirable for the English in
vestors. 1t is estimated that there are
100000 tons of ore in sight, OF rich
quality.
The Monte Cristo mines are not far
from the new town of Everett, WASH,
and that enterprising place expects to
derive great benefit from the opening of
the mines by the erection of reduction
works.

Borne to the Tomb.

The funeral of Clarence Sidney Harsh
man, who died on Thursday of typhoid
fever, was held in the Methodist Episco-
pal church Friday afternoon at three
O'Clock. 1t was under the direction Of
w. s. Moxon and Undertaken Benson,
and the pail bearers were D. s. Hamilton,
VIM. Withnell, Geo. Smith, VIM. Marles,
John Engalls and S. Fletcher, of the
Brotherhood Of Railway Carmen. De-
ceased was not member of this organi-
zation, but had been employed as car
repairer at the Northern Pacific shops
since his arrival IN Jamestown, and the
ever willing hands of his co-workers
tenderly assisted in the last sad rites.
Rev. s. E. Ryan conducted the service at
the church, which. was filed by the
friends and relatives of the departed son
and brother. Daniel Harshman, father
of the young man, and his sister,
Mre. J. K. Bingham of this
city, we're the only members
of the family present, other relatives
remaining at Fall City, Wis, to which
place the body was forwarded on the
afternoon train. The casket was &C.
companied east by Mr.. Harshman, and
Miss Kena Bingham. A profusion of
flowers covered the casket, among the
decorations being beautiful wreath,
an anchor and a cross. At the depot
another wreath was laid upon the box
into which the coffin was placed for
transportation.
Clarence Harshman was only few
months past the age of 81 years, and is
spoken of by all acquaintances as a
young man of fsplendid qualities of head
and heart. He was born IN Waneka,
Dunn county, Wisconsin, and came to
jamestown in December, 1891, making
his home With Mr.. and Mrs. j. X. Bine-
ham. He obtained employment at his
trade, and was faithful, painstaking and
exemplary workman. Socially he became
a great favorite with everybody, and his
life gave promise of a successful future.
The bereaved relatives and friends have
the sympathy of the community, IN the
loss of one SO generally respected and
beloved by his associates.

Republicans Turn Out in Force
to Hear Him-A Pretty
Parade.
Hustling for the Fair.-The
Management Promise
Success.
Marriage Of a Popular Couple
at EdmnndS-WeSCOm-
Denver.

The second public meeting held IN the
interests Of the republican ticket in
jamestown, drew large crowd to the
opera rink Monday night, and the demon
stratlon was marked success. Repub-
licans we're out in force and the large
attendance Of ladies proved an inspira-
ton I'd the party as we'll as to the
speaker of the evening, Hon. j. H. Worst
Of Emmons county.
A parade of the Young Mems Rep,.b-
llcan league preceded the exercises at
the rink, and aroused enthusiasm to a
satisfactory pitch. The boys wore their
new misunderstanding of white caps,
capes and leggings. trimmed in red and
blue oil cloth-for the first time, and
handled their tlambeaux to much better
advantage than on their previous appear
ance. Capt. H. G. Flint of Co. H.
acted MS marshal and moved the column
four abreast down Fifth avenue in good
order. Besides the fifty members IN,
uniform, about thirty others took part in
the procession, some of whom carried
transparencies. The jamestown band
headed the parade and discoursed stir
ring music.
At the rink, TunstalPs orchestra rend-
cred two popular selections while the
audience was gathering. The stage was
occupied by Fredrus Baldwin, o. A.
Boynton, Rev. Wm. Gibb, G. E. McElroy,
e. S. Miller, j. Roper, B. S. Russell
and E. NJ. Sanford. The latter presided,
and introduced Senator Worst in very
effective speech of seven minutes dura-
tion. Mr.. Worst was received with loud
applause, and while suffering from a
severe cold, delivered most eloquent
and interesting address. He confined his
speech to discussion OF the tariff and
currency questions and to presentation
of the merits of the national republican
party, led by President Benjamin Har-
1ison. State issues and state candidates
we're entirely ignored, and the speaker
also refrained from the too common
practice of ridiculing the opposition
parties. As he brought out the various
arguments in favor of protection, reel
procity and sound money, the audience
manifested it's approval in frequent
cheers. and many democrats present pro-
nounced the speech one of the falrest
they ever heard. Mr.. Worst limited his
speech to less than an hour, and closed
with stirring appeal for the success of
the "grand old party" The meeting
ended at 10 o'clock with three rousing
cheers for the republican candidates.

E. p. Wells, president of the James
River Valley Fair ASSOCIATION, appeared
before the council to ask their co-opera-
tion in making the proposed fair to be
held the third week in October, credita-
BILE to the city. He outlined the plans
of the management, and asked that they
be permitted to occupy certain unused
streets in the vicinity Of the race track
in order to obtain sufficient shed room
for the large number of cattle which will
be on exhibition. The association wished
to enclose the entire grounds, he SAID,
and it would be necessary to fence in
the streets as we'll. In addition to this
privilege, they desired to lay pipe line
from the nearest hydrapt and have
water from the city artesian we'll sup
Piled to the grounds, free Of cost.
Lastly, he hoped the council could see
the advisability of thoroughly cleaning
up the city before the fair, as special
trains will bring thousands of visitors
to the exhibition and jamestown ought
to be in shape to impress them favor
ably.
Aid. Stee! offered resolution granting
the James River Valley Fair association
the use of a part of Madison, Monroe
and Van Buren streets, until after the
fair, and providing for the necessary
water supply requested by Mr.. Wells.
On motion of Aid. Lieber, the resolu-
ton was unanimously adopted.
Rev. Vim. Green addressed the council
upon the necessity of sidewalk being
built to the German Evangelical church,
and also protested against the stacking
of hay near that edifce, contrary
to the ordinances Of the city.
He said that thea insurance on
the building must be cancelled, If
the hay is not removed, and asked that
the owners of the hay be made to comply
with the law. Geo. Il. Webster, the
owner of the hay referred to, also ad-
dressed the council upon the subject
and asked permission to leave the hay in
ito present position, promising to provide
suitable firebreaks. etc.
