JOHN r. JONES.

The man who was killed by light
ming June 2Gth, was the oldest son
Of W. Ii. Jones, of Egeland town
shin. The deceased was born in
Putnam Co., West Virginia, Sep.
TENDER End, 1870, and was reared
by his grand parents. He came to
South Dakota in 1890, and in 1891
was married to Miss Christy Long,
a daughter of Edward Long. The
Young couple were just getting a
comfortable home fixed mp On a
farm on the old reservation when
the great ~leveler of men came and
the husband and father was no
more. But it was a painless death.
No bed of sickness; none OF the long
weeks of suspense incident to failing
strength; no premonition of imme-
date dissolution, but an lnstanta-
neous release from all the trials OF
this world. s.
The deceased leaves a wife and
infant child to mourn the loss OF a
kind husband and father, and many
friends will join in the wish that
providence may deal kindly with
the sorrowing widow and helpless
orphan.

A fake that was worked to some ex-
tent iE Madison last spring, has broken
out in Vermlllion lately as the following
dispatch from that place will show:
Some women came to town and of.
fered to give lessons in a new style OF
painting. the price varying from 81 to
$3.50 Then they went to the principal
fancy goods dealer of the place and
asked him to order boxes of paints for
the pupils, which he did, guarantee OF
sales being given him. These boxes
were delivered to him by the women,
who first destroyed all the stamps and
labels on them, with Instructions to sell
them at $3.50. The artists were to stay
there four weeks, but carefully collected
their money when they gave the first
lesson and took the first train for a
greener field. They managed to lake in
some $40 or $50 while here.

Much as even the silverites dislike to
listen to the long harangues of Senator
Stewart on the silver question, his re.
cent attack on the president for his buil-
doing methods is highly reiished not
only by them but by all who love the
freedom of our coordinate branches OF
government. That President Cleveland
has acted in the spirit and assumption
of one who thinks he is immaculate In
political judgment and authority, can
not be questioned, and both his dlcta-
torial utterances and the abuse OF the
appointing power to reward his hench-
men and coerce his enemies, even In his
own party, are tit subjects of censure
and rebuke. The Nevada senator has
entered rich field and one which will
furnish bright nuggets to illumine the
dreary waste of silver debate.

Standing the Landlady's Raise.

Scores Of poor fellers are waitin here
in Washington city for for offices. It is
really painful to meet some of 'em. One
poor freckled devil from Arkansaw told
me today that he had just pawned his
pistol for $2, the last thing he had, that
was pawnahle. He told me about four
of his friends from the south that was
boardin with widow up ON Gstreet,
all of 'em good poker players, but in bad
luck. They hadn't paid any board for
two weeks, and the old woman, thinkin
to get rid OF 'em, got up at the table the
other mornin and said, Gentlemen, the
times is very hard, and the price of mar
keith is goin mp, so I'll have to raise the
price of board to $40 week" Nobody
said word for nearly minute, and
then one of the shoestring sports spoke
up and said, Madam, we stand the
raise" The old lady is tryin to find out
how much better off she is than she was.

Hon. John e. Garland who was nomi-
mated by the democrats in conventional
Sioux Falls for judge OF this circuit, in a
letter to G. o. Bailey, Esq, chairman of
the democratic central committee, gives
his reasons for not accepting the nomi-
nation thus:
Through no fault of mine, | am placed
in the embarrassing position of declin-
ing democratic nomination. | have at
all times plainly stated that L cou'd not
accept the nomination for circuit judge,
and cannot but feel that the conven-
tion was aware OF my sentiments at the
time of my nomination. The demands
upon my professional income by those.
whose interests are first to be consulted
are such as to render the acceptance OF
the judgeship at the present salary a
crime. /, therefore, with due apprecia-
tion of the honor conferred, decline 10 be
candidate for the office of circuit
judge.

and broke up her portion. The woman
swore out u warrant for MIN next day,

wife and try 10 stop tie prosecution.
This the man succeeded in doing, but
the county authorities refused to let the
matter be dropped So the lawyer then
advised him to kidnap his wife and baby
and sail to Cinnabel island.
The matter was arranged for the next
night. The woman was escorted to the
boat. where her husband was awaiting
her, by tho lawyer and u constable whom
he had engaged to assist him. The law

house for the baby, but by mistake they

take was not discovered until the boat
was well on its way to Cinnabel The
man was afraid to return for the right
baby, thinking that he would be arrest

baby was stolen will not reconcile her
self to the exchange and proposes to
have the young lawyer prosecuted for
kidnapping. He Is IN a terrible state OF

ST. PAUL. Sept. - A Pioneer Press
Washington special says:
Word has come to the treasury de-

in the Northwest, particularly in St
Paul and those regions tributary to the
large grain warehouses, for fear that
the government will levy 10 per cent
revenue tax on the checks which the
elevator companies have been issuing
in lieu of ready cash. The agitation lis
due to the fact that Special Agent COL
lins has been collecting information at
st. Paul and throughout Nebraska and
South Dakota concerning the extent to
money.
1t was learned at the treasury depart
ment that the agitation was wholly
groundless About six weeks ago a
