Referring to Judge Gardner's candi.
dacy, the Rapid City Republican of the
l4th inst. says: "The methods employ
ed in the primaries in Custer and Fall
River counties, as well as in the county
convention Of Fall River county, have
occasioned considerable censure among
the best class of citizens who dislike to
see the Judiciary mixed up in the
schemes and trickery of the professional
politician" Will the Republican kind
ly state for the benefit Of the republican
voters of Custer county what methods
employed in our primaries occasioned
considerable censure etc, etc? The
primaries in the various precincts Of
this county, and the county convention,
were properly called and advertised,
were well attended. and the wishes OF
the voters expressed in forcible and
convincing manner. That the above
methods" are censured by the best
class of citizens, is an assertion easily
made, but one hard TO substantiate.
Only demagogues and woul6-be political
bosses would venture to find fault with
the methods employed in the primaries
Of Custer county.

Black Hills people generally are
pleased to read the following item found
among the Chicago kilograms in the
daily papers; "South Dakotans now here
are happy over the report in circulation
that in proportion to the number of her
exhibits their state will take more

state in the Union. There seems to be
excellent foundation for the report,
which will be gratifying to the Black
Hills. The awards in mining will soon
be completed and the judges discharg-

attention Of all visitors alike, who rarely
fail TO stop and read the comforting
legends found thereon, which convey
the pleasing and important information
that Our wheat stands unriyaled,' and
"Our -four leads the world"
The educational exhibit in the Manu-
factures and liberal arts building, pre-
sided over by Mrs. Alice LaDue, Supt Of
the Marshall County schools, compares
favorably with that Of the older states,
and is worthy Of the highest commenda-
ton. A large map showing the location
of every rural school in the state, by
red dots. is a genuine surprise package
to eastern visitors by reason of the vast
number of dots, showing a greater num-
Der of schools in proportion to our
population than any other state in the
Union. Elegant photographs of all the
leading educational institutions Of the
state, with elaborate specimens of school
work are shown, the exhibit in its en-
tirety being very creditable to the state
and to those having charge of its collec-
ton and arrangement.
The Woman's department on the
second floor of the state building em-
braces medley of attractions that is
exceedingly pleasing to visitors, and is
fairly crowded al the time. The won
der is, how the ladies could co lect and
arrange an exhibit so large and complete
with the modest sum at their disposal,
but the old saw, where there is will
there is way" is especially applicable
to women, and these women evidently
possessed the will in an eminent degree
In conclusion think | may safely say
after having fairly investigated the
matter, that the exhibit made by South
Dakota at the worlds fair, taken as g
whole, is highly creditabie to the state
and to the commissioners having it in
charge, that it has received as much
favorable mention from press and peo'
pie as any other state exhibit, and tha
the scathing structures of certain Dakots
newspaper correspondents had theil
origin in spite, and are as unjust as they
are unwarranted.

GENERAL ASSEMBLY.

Many Waterbury Matters Before the
Senate To-Day-An Amendment to the
Pool Bill offered. y.
HARTFORD, June 1.-The house to-
day insisted on its former action, in
scaling the bills of the attorneys in the
quo warranto cases seventy-five per
cent. A committee of conference was
appointed.
The bill increasing the school fund to
50, 100, 900 was indefinitely postponed.
In the senate the minority report fav
oring a constitutional convention was
substituted for the majority report,
which was against the convention.
A resolution was passed amending the
charter of the Waterbury Horse Rail-
road Co also a resolution amending
the charter of the City of Waterbury.
Senator Holden introduced an amend
ment to the pool bill exempting contests
of skill or endurance Of man, beast or
machine for a period Of thirty days be-
tween May and November 1, on en-
closed grounds of some legally organ
lied association.
An act was passed relating to the
sewage of the Naugatuck valley, and an
act providing for union station at Wa
terbury.

WORLD OF SPORTS.

George Schoch, the general utility
man in the Brooklyns, has been playing
in the league five or six years. but was
never rated very highly before this sea-
son. He can play any position outside
the battery.
Tommy Corcoran, the Brooklyn's short
stop, made three errors on the first
eighty-five chances-average 1856. Dan
ny Richardson's record for the same
time was two errors out eft fifty-four
chances-average 1854. Great work.
Louisville has very fast outfield in
WEIGH, Brown and Weaver, and
Pfeffer, Pinckney and Jennings makes
a tight infield. Inasmuch as this team
is exceptionally strong in fielding, fast
on the bases, and at least medium at the
bat, the wonder is that Louisville does
not stand higher in the race.
Comiskey has decided to give King a
trial. The latter has gone to his home
for two weeks rest.
Corcoran of of the Brooklyns did the
best batting of any player on Tuesday
He made six hits, seven times at bat,
made one sacrifice and accepted all Of
fifteen chances at short.
The eastern clubs are going at the
western with a vengeance.
Louisville has released Whistler. 1t
was a wonder he was kept so long.
The Albany club says that Philadel-
phia can keep Taylor if IL will pay $500.

STATE PRISON HEARING.
Warden Chambe rlain's Closing Words t.
the Committee.

Warden Chamb erlain's Closing Words to
the Committee.
When the state prison hearing opened
yesterday afternoon Mr. Root said that
he desired to apologize for his actions at
the last hearing. He said that he had
probably gone too far but that he had
done so in the hope of securing justice
for all concerned. He acknowledged that
he had overstepped the bounds of pro-
priety and was sorry that he had done
so. The apology was frankly made. Mr.
Jones said that 1t was gratifying to him
to hear such words from-the gentleman
and he was sure that all forgave him
for what he said.
Warden Chamberlain then asked per-
mission to make plea for justice in his
own behalf. He said that he had tried
to treat the prisoners humanely and had
only been brutal where it was richly
deserved. He cited where he had in
augurated reforms and said many bar.
barous methods of punishm ent had been
removed under his regime. He defied
any one to show that his record at
Charlestown prison had been other
than worthy of following. In conclu,
sion he said that he had been malicious
ly prosecuted by the press. He only
asked for Justice and begged the com
mittee to go carefully into every detail
of the case.

The Bill Providing For Punishment of
Common Cheats.

The Bill Providing For Punishment of
Common Cheats.
Following is the text of the bill which
has passed the house providing for the
punishment of common cheats. The
factorizing law having been left un
changed, this law against cheats may
be useful:
"Section 1. Any person who shall
order and obtain from another person,
corporation or association, any food,
groceries, wearing apparel, or material
therefor, fuel, lodging house rent or
medical services, with intent to cheat
and defraud such person, corporation or
association, out of the price and value
thereof, and any person who shall be in
the habit of contracting debts in excess
of his ordinary wages, or income, ex-
cept in case of sickness of himself or
family shall be deemed a common cheat
and If it appears that credit was OBJ
tanned by such person bn the means of
any false statement, pretense or device.
it shall b9 prima facie evidence of a
fraudulent intent within the meaning of
this act.
"Section g. On the trial of any per-
son accused of being a common cheat,
any evidence to show the previous con-
duct and habit of the accused in this re-
spect shall be admissible, and intern
perance or unenforced idleness shall not
be deemed sufficient excuse for fail
ure to provide for such obligations.
"Section 8. Every person convicted
of being a common cheat shall be pun
ished by a fine not exceeding So 900. or
imprisonment not exceeding six months
or by such fine and imprisonment both
But if such person shall before final
conviction pay to the creditor, on whose
complaint prosecution was instituted
the amount due such creditor and the
costs of prosecution, or shall give good
and sufficient bond, conditioned that he
will do so, such prosecution shall be dis.
continued; provided the accused had
not previously been convicted in this
state for the same offense."

NEW LONDON, June 1.-The anthori-

by a workman at Stoll's wharf yester-
day. The workman found the dead
body of male infant. The police were
notified and physicians summoned,
when it was found that the body was
that of a child known in medical terms
as ''non viable," or one not capable of
breathing. This fact proves conclu-
sively that it is not a case Of infanticide,
but the case presents some intricaciee
of law, and the medical examiner has
ordered an investigation to see if the
birth was due to criminal operation.I |

The excitement caused by the poison
ing of the nine cows owned by Samuel
L. French in North Coventry has not
abated in the least. A town meeting
was held Saturday at which it was
voted to offer a reward of 81 900 for any
evidence that will lead to the arrest and
conviction of the prisoners. The cows,
which were high bred Devons, valued
at over $1,000, were poisoned by Paris
green, which was mixed with salt and
distributed about the pasture where the
COWS could find it easily.
