Over q Precipice.

Ed. Stevenson, the milkman, had an
experience Wednesday which he willnot
soon forget and which cost him a good
team of horses. He was hauling aload
of wood down a steep canyon road
north of town and had rough lock ON
his wagon. Unfortunately the lock
broke when at a big cliff, and the load
pushed the horses over the precipice,
the wagon catching on a stump at the
brink. One Of the hosres was instant
" killed and the other so badly In
jured he had to be shot Edwas on take
upper side Of the road and escaped In

At the soldiers homo Wednesday
Joshua Cover, the old soldier lately
admitted from near Aberdeen, passed
the great beyond. He was in the 9th
year Of his age and was suffering from
q complication of diseases, which had
resulted in dementia, and was practic-
ally a crazy man when admitted. He
will be buried in the cemetery ON the
home grounds.
It is too bad that such cases are sent
here. The home is not intended for an
asylum nor a sanitarium and it seems
people in the state, when they want to
get rid of q case like this without
expense, bundle them up and send
them here; for il they were sent to the
asylum or a hospital the county or
friends would have to pay for their
keeping and treatment. Fortunately
in this case the deceased had enough
means with him to pay his funeral OK

ing husband and little daughter. The
attending. physicians certificate stated
that she died Of typhoid pneumonia.
The %suddenness Of the lady's death is
q great surprise to her Whitewood &C.
quaintances in the city, who had not
learned Of her illness, 1t seeming but .
day since she had been about the

story Of the Flapisck.

~ .sekS0O~tt .a.
The lecture Wednesday night at the
college chapel by N. A. Chamberlain,
d. D., was fairly we'll attended, and
thoroughly enjoyed by all. It was .
story Of his army experiences, divided,
as he said the soldiers experiences
were, into the humorous, pathetic and
heroic. His droll manner of relating
the ridiculous and funny incidents Of
army life, together with his mimicry
Of the most ridiculous characters, kept
the audience in high glee. His story
of the evolution Of the flapjack" with
all its necessary concomitants and &C.
compartments, wasparticularlylaug
able. The pathetic side of his expert
ences, while deeply touching and
seriously earnest, was very much ap-
precisted. In that DR.. Chamberlain,
who was an army surgeon, and had
large experience with scenes that were
sad and solemn, was especially good.
He paid a high tribute to the noble
women who remained at home, parted
with loved ones who went forward to
battle for their country. The part
they took in the great wal of the re-
bellion with their work, their %hardships,
privations and their prayers, display
ed heroism, he thought, that should be
emblazoned upon the highest pinnacle
of monuments erected in honor of the
greatest generals, the noblest and
bravest men of the war. He gave no
small amount of praise to the colored
people of the south for the assistance
they rendered toward subduing the
rebellion, and in behalf of the Union
soldier.

An Interesting Council Meeting.

Council met in adjourned session
Thursday night ithall the councilmen
present, except Petty, the mayor also
being absent. The only matter dis
cussed was the franchise for an electric
street railway. It was generally OK
pected that the franchise to Chas. B.
Stackpole which passed its first read
ing by q unanimous vote Of the council
at its last meeting, would also pass its
second reading, but some Of the coun-
Gil had evidently changed their minds
as it failed to pass by a vote Of 4 to 2.
It seems as though there is an effort to
knock the matter entirely out, and re-
construct q new franchise out of the
old one by adding certain amendments.
Some of the councilmen want the hours
of running between Nov. LIST and May
LIST changed to 6 a. m. to z p. M, to

council adjourned to meet tonight.

Teller,s Sensible Remarks.

Senator Teller, of Colorado, is entitled
to the credit Of giving expression to the
first bit of common sense that has come
from the republican side of the Senate
chamber since the Senate began the dis
/ cussion of the tariff bill. On Tuesday, in
reply to Senator Hale, Of Maine, who
I seems to think he proves himself pa
( tr1ot and statesman by continually yaping
/ to the effect that the democrats have
/ abandoned their tariff doctrine Of free
! trade, he declared, in substance, that the
country was about tired of such
rot. and that it was time the Senate got
down to business and passed tariff bill
for which 70000.0OO people are anxiously
waiting He said the question before the
Senate was not whether the Democratic
party was consistent or Inconsistent
that the democratic senators had admitted
that the tariff bill was not such as they
wanted, but that it was the best that
could be obtained at this time, and that
he was willing to Join them in putting it
through the Senate 10 the best shape
possible. He declared it to be his belief
that the expenses of the government
orc ~ 4dl 6C bLdG q tdIlu 4OE lGNCuuC Ou4Hs
If wisely laid, would, on four-ffths of the
articles it touched. give ample protection
to the American people against foreign
cheap labor
r. This is a very considerable concession
for a republican to make, and it ought to
have the effect of putting a stop to the
demagOgic talk in which certain republi-
can senators have been INDUCING for the
purpose of making political capital and
hindering the progress of the tariff bill.
No fair-minded republican who knows
anything about the tariff question be
lieves the pending tariff bill would in
jure any American industry The repub-
licans are causing injury to the industries
by delaying the bills passage. AS soon
as it is definitely known what the new
tariff is to be, there will be a revival of
business, and the country will enter upon
a period of great prosperity. If the new
tariff should be disappointing the repub-
licans could appeal to the ballot-bo to
have it changed What is wanted now above
everything else is action on the tariff bill
This Senator Teller clearly sees and adj
mits, and in straightforward, manly
fashion, he appeals to his republican asso-
ciates to cease their obstructive tactics
and let the bill become a law at the
earliest possible day.
