MAYOR WOODS RETURNS.
He Places 100000 Of Rapid Cit
Water Bonds at a Good Figure
And Is sanguine That the Completion
Of the D. & w. Road Is Assured.
Water VS.. Railroad Bonds.

Mayor Woods returned from an extended
business trip in the east this morning. 10 a
UNION reporter he stated that the object Of
his trip was to dispose Of the water bonds,
and transact some other business. He had
very little difficulty in finding a buyer for the
water bonds and finally negotiated the full
amount, 100000, at ninety six cents. This is
a good figure and will insure our laboring
men in the neig borhood Of ten thousand dol
lars for work to be paid out in the near future.
Speaking of the D. & w. railroad, the mayor
said that Mr.. Coad was using his best en-
deavors to arrange all things necessary for
the early completion Of the road and that he
had faith in the ultimate success Of Mr.. Coad's
efforts.
In this connection would it not be
we'll for the people OF Rapid City to stop
in their mad rush for railroads and con-
slider the situation. Mayor Woods re
ports the sale OF 100000 worth Of
water bonds at ninety-six cents and
yet the city meeting lately held virtually
instructed the committee, so many
claim, to sell fifty thousand dollar
in railroad bonds for $4,000. w
are informed that acting OF the actor
OF this meeting Mr.. Coad had made al
arrangements for the sale at that fgur'
and now complains that the committe'
think they should bring $4,000, ane
have thus blocked all efforts.
Why this difference between railroad
bonds and water bonds? The trustees
Saturday evening telegraphed Mr.. Coat
that on giving assurance that the roat
would be completed they were ready te
turn over the $4,000 bonds on the de
post OF $4,000. Time forblds a furtheJ
discussion OF this question il this issue

A Meade County Invention.

]. G. Hickman Of Niewfield is the inventor
Of a double action wind engine Of unique con-
struction. In addition to the usual upright
fan a horizontal, half enclosed structure with
cup-lke fans is SO arranged so as to give great
additional powers with little or no additional
cost. The machine can be operated in the
strongest gale with ease, Or would run in :
wind that would fail to move the common
mill. Mr.. Hickman expects to apply a sell
regulating attachment SO that the mill can be
used for churning, grinding feed and various
other things about the ranch, for which the
old form Of windmill is too cumbersome.

RAPID c1rY,s ELECTION.

Rapid City held IN election last Tues
day, and when we say there were some
peculi.r features to the canvas, lmme-
diately preceding that election, the eN-
preston may be considered mud IN the
extreme, if the voice OF the local press IS
considered an expression OF the opinion
of the people.
The Onion showed itself the ideal rep
resentn1ive OF its school OF politics un.

INN were devoted to vile abuse oi
M'Gilycuddy, and three Others to show
ing that Woods is the most corrupt pol
itican in sever states.
These columns were edited by the CEN
trail COMMITTEES OF the respective parties.
-(Ed.)
For pure unadulterated gall in openly
and shamelessly prostituting itself, and
delivering up all the naked horrors OF its
diseased anatomy, for hire, commend
us to a s'reiorm" newspaper. The ke-
publican-poor dear-didn't contain a
hint on Monday that Rapid City would
hold an election in the ensuing ndre
and fourteen years. or course the Jour
nal assumed a high moral tone and put
on such q somber expression that the
reading of it was like taking the big part
OF a. seidlltz powder with out the "hzz."

There is considerable gall in the lii

to which it claims allegiance had no or

criticise the UNION for assisting them IL
their distress and i%nsinuates that this
paper sold its influence which IS laise oi

matter which appeared in the demo
cratic and republican columns and lg
nores the fact that leading democratl'

party bosses and that the fairness ant

been held up to the gaze OF the people
We admit that tits seldom that a view
OF the Old parties side by side in logical
~ discussion can be obtained. We Go
not wonder that the press squirms at
the sight.
p. S. We notice that the Tin Miner
which Is proiesscdly republican, appears
to lean to the democratic candidate
IN our late city election and has an m
piled slur for the candidate OF it's own
party. Can it be that the Tin Miner
like the official (?) paper OF its party, is
edited by a democrat?

planted in the saline manner. It should
be noted that as the amount OF seed Is
increased beyonda certain limit, the
per cent OF marketablep potatoes becomes
smaller. Ii the planting is to be done in
drills, use large cuttings placing them
twelve to fifteen inches apart in the row,
if in hills two or three such cuttings
should be used in each place. ESperi-
ments of other stations have proven
substantially the same thing in regard
to the quantity ofsced.
Depth OF planting.-This necessarily
varies with the character OF the soil and
time OF planting. In a slightly sandy
loan, forearly planting, three to five
inches OF firned covering has given the
best results. For later planting after
the soil has been warmed to u greater
depth, the covering may be slightly in
creased. LUTHER FOSTER,

Of discussing the condition of affairs

a number OF resolutions denouncing in

vasion in his failure to protect the pee

vented tue use OF the state militia by the
sheriffs and that he removed civil pris-
oners under escort OF the United States

Loss among Stock.

Frank Lockhart came in from the Battle
River divide today. He reports the recent
loss Of COWS and spring calves in his vicinity
as quite large. He has lost seven calves out
of fourteen, VIM. Gramberg has SIX left out
of fourteen. Reports from along the Chey-
enne river tell Of heavy losses. The loss of
calves is said to be caused by the COW hav-
ing insufficient milk to support them.

question. The day before the roundup
starts out all mavericks that may be
captured will be sold in advance to the
highest bidder. Notice OF this action
will be seen in another column. 1t
would seem, as the Sioux Journal states,
that it would be better to first gather
the crop and then sell a known quantity
to the highest bidder. In any case par

TO BOYCOTT CARNEGIE.
That Is tho Effective Weapon the
Union Will.Now Bring Into Play.

HOMESTEAD, Pa, July 15.-ln
discussing the situation to-day Hugh
said: "We will fight
this strike out on legitimate lines.
The Pinkerton incident has put a
false complexion on affairs and
changed the channel Of public esti-
nation of our rights and wrongs.
Many people think we intend en-
deavoring to maintain our position
by lawless means. Such never
was our intention. The workmen's
only effective weapon, the boycott,
viii be employed and we will en-
deavor to strike a blow at Carne-
gie's every industry. 1t is stated
that he intends starving us into
submission. We have not as much
money as he, but we are willing to
meet him on his own grounds.
Such assistance as the strike of the
Lawrenceyille mills and the action
Of carpenters in refusing to work in
buildings where Carnegie materials
are used Is what we want. Help us
that way, and We will win. I'll
guarantee there will be no harm Of
fered nonunion men coming here,
but I cannot offer the same protec-
ton guaranteed to Pinkerton MS, s.for
every man, woman and child in
Homestead goes wild at the mention
of one."
"Mr. O'Donnell was asked what
chance the Carnegies have to start
the mill with deserters from the
Amalgamated ranks. "None in the
world" he said. "There is not a
man who will desert the association
mot a single man. There has
probably never been such a unanim-
ity of opinion in a strike in this
country, and we viii present an I'M
unbroken front to the end. Mr..
Carnegie may be able to get non
union laborers, helpers, blacksmiths,
mechanics, carpenters and painters,
but all of these have to depend on
the skilled men who make the
steel. Without rollers, heaters,
shearers, cutters and other high
priced workmen, the mills cannot
start, and it is this class of men on
which we have the hold"

The Congressional Convention spent
the forenoon in wrangling owe the
resolution introduced by Mr.. Faris,
of Crawford, to refer the Crawford
county dispute back to that county
to be settled by a primary held I'M
der the Australian system. Chair
man Clark raped the convention to
order at 10 $50 and Mr.. Faris resum-
ed his remarks in favor of his reso-
luton. He yielded the floor to Mr..
Woodruff, of the same county, who
desired to show that the petition
which the gentleman relied on so
strongly was not a legal petition and
contained names of Republicans and
minors and signatures of the same
person in more than one place. He
asked for time in which to examine
the document more thoroughly. He
Examined the petition and found a
large number whose names were
written twice, several Republicans
and some minors.
. Senator Ball introduced the follow
ing resolution:
WHEREAS, Ithas been an hOnOred
principle of the Democracy since the
days of that splendid statesman,
Thomas Jefferson, that the people
should rule; and,
WHEREAS, Under the principles
and precepts ofthis greatfundamental
doctrine we have grown to be one of
the most powerful and free people
of any country on earth; and,
Resol0ed, That we recognize this
fundamental principle of Democracy
and believe that the Democracy OF
this Congressional District should be
given an opportunity of %voicing their
preference as to who should represent
them in the halls of Congress, and
that such preference can be best ex-
pressed in a primary election to be
held in the several counties of this
district on the same day, to the end
that no man may be nominated for
Congress who is not the choice of the
majority OF the Democrats of this
Ninth Congressional District.
After a good deal of argument on
both sides the vote stood 81 to 81.

POWderly on the PinkertOns.

SCRANTON, Pa, July 15.-Gener-
al Master Workman Powderly has
addressed a letter to President Har-
rison and another to Gov. Pattison
calling attention to the fact that the
laws of the United States and of
Pennsylvania have been violated by
the invasion of the Pinkertons on
July 6. In his letter to the President
Mr.. Powderly points out that an
armed body, sailing under the Unit
ed States flag and not under the le-
gal authority of the State or any
county or municipality, had come
up the Monongahela River and open
ed fire upon the citizens of Home
stead, killing a number of persons.
Mr.. Powderly says that whoever
usurped the functions of Command
er-in-chief of the army of the United
States in ordering these men to in
wade Pennsylvania is guilty of trea-
son, and should be punished accord
ingly. He therefore asks for an IN
vestigation.
In his letter to the Governor he
points out the illegality of the acts
of the Pinkertons in operating as an
armed body without the Governors
permission and asks that steps be
Immediately taken to effect their
punishment. He goes over the same
points covered in his letter to the
President, and asserts the constitu-
tional right of the workmen at Home
stead to defend themselves against
the unauthorized invasion of armed
men. Treason to the State, he
maintains, has been committed by
Mr.. Frick and Robert Pinkerton,
who alone were responsible for bring
ing in armed men, and he asks that
the punishment fixed by law be
melted out to the transgressors.
Another point of Mr.. Powderly's is,
that as the armed men came alto
gether from outside the State, and
as such could not hold offices, they
could not be sworn in as deputies.

Honor To-Day.

Write it on your heart that every
day is the best day in the year. No
man has learned anything rightly
until he knows that every day is
doomsday. To-day is a king in dis
guise. To-day always looks mean
to the thoughtless, in the face of a
uniform experience that all good and
great and happy actions are made
up precisely of these blank to-days.
Let US not be so deceived; let US un-
mask the king as he passes.
