shipments generally begin = good deal
later in the season. Tho reason for the
early shipments Is, according to the cattle
men, for two causes, tho good prices for
beef and the extra quality Of the beet from
the ranges this year. The plentiful rains
have kept the range grass sweet and nu-
tritious and. the cattle have thrived Won

The Farmers Outlook

All grains in Moody County are ripen-
ing rapidly. Some fields Of barley are
now being cut. OF this cereal the crop
was never larger and the grain was never
of a finer quality. The next fields the
binder will be turned into are the oat
fields. Wheat is looking finely, though it
is believed the recent frost has injured it
some in portions of the county. The corn
crop is considerably damaged by frost and
is very backward, yet it is hoped a gre It
deal of it may recover. The potato crop
will be very large. Flax was injured some
time ago by the cut worms and frost.
However, a fair crop is looked for, and
taking the farmers outlook at present as a
whole 1t is most encouraging.

Mrs. Gle. Acquitted of Murder.

One of the most sensational cases that
ever troubled q Black Hills jury was
brought to a close at DeadwOod by the ac-
quittal of Mrs. Giles, charged with the
murder OF her husband q year or more ago
in the vicinity Of Belle Fourche. Circum-
stantjal evidence has been gathered against
the woman until the weight Of it seemed
almost overwhelming; In fact two weeks
age on the same evidence William David
son Was convicted and sentenced to serve
his lifetime in the ~penitentiary. The ar
gument to the jury, however, was OF such
u convincing nature that the twelve mel
had but little dificulty in arriving ut a
verde: of moi guilty. In connection with
this case arises a question which for years
has been a thorn in the side OF stockmen
in the counties bordering the Black Hills
proper, whether settlers had the right to
enter upon and cultivate government
lands over which the herds of the cattle
men ranged. This case has settled the
question. 1t has cost a life, but hereafter
another instance of this kind will not oc-
cur. The decision of Mrs. Giles case will
undoubtedly result in the discharge OF
Davidson from the ~penitentiary.

IN THE MATTER OF MANNERS.
ssLife Is short, But There Is Always
TIrme for Courtesy,

In a Boston letter to the Chicago In
ter-Ocean correspondent moralizes
thus:
When the street car conductor jumps
off to lift little children on the car for
their mother or when he opens and holds
an umbrella over a lady as she alig'hts
in the rain, what could Sir Walter Raj
eigh do more? Life is short, but there
IS always time for courtesy said Ener-
son. 1t is a valuable truth to keep in
mind. Courtesy should be ipculcated in
all public school training as a virtue
equal in Importance to honesty, truth
and promptness. In the most simple and
primitive home courtesy may always be
taught, so that children will grow up in
stinctively, and, as a matter of course,
with the manner OF ladies and gentle
men. 1t is not the surroundings of
wealth or elaboration that make refine
Inent. 1t is sweetness OF spirit conjoined
with the usual Familiarity with the eti-
quette of polite life. The mother, VINO
in a cabin on a prel1sie, hundreds of
miles, it may be, from city life, who
yet teaches her boy to remove his hat
on entering the house, to stand aside
and give her or his sister precedence in
passing through a door. to walk quietly,
to talk in moderate tones, to be refined
and quiet at table, all these little things
insure the child to grow UP with the
gentle mariners fit for the association
with the gently bred.

Democratic County Committee
Makes Plans for the Cam
paign--Candidates
Apportioned.

Not in four years has a meeting of the
Democratic County Committee been so
largely attended, or such a display of
harmony and enthusiasm seen as at the
meeting of the committee held last night
Not more than dozen members of the
committee were absent and the active
workers of THE party take this as good
omen and a sure forerunner of success
in the coming election
The first question discussed was the
manner in which candidates for the As
sembly should be notified. The gerry
Wandering of the city into the present
ward lines has SO cut UP the old Assem-
bly, districts that it would be impossible
to nominate candidates in the old way.
At least thirty precincts have been cut
to pieces, as was shown in a map pre-
pared by Secretary Ne Meyer
After discussing the matter thoroughly,
it was decided TO rescind the resolution
passed two weeks ago to nominate candi-
dates by Assembly districts. il was then
decided to nominate six candidates at
large in Jersey City, or one from every
two wards. There was but little opposi-
ton to this plan, all the members, with
one or two exceptions, being in favor of
it.
Hoboken win have two Assemblymen
as usual, Bayonne one, Kearny and liar 4,
rison one, and North Hudson one. The
Seventh ward will be included with Bay
onne, as heretofore.
MEAN BUSINESS.
A resolution was passed authorizing
Chairman Erickson to appoint Cam
paign Committee to consist of one, mem
Der from each of the twelve wards in
this city two from Hoboken one from
Bayonne, one from Kearny and Harrison
and one from North Hudson.
The Importance of getting every Demo-
cratic voter in the county registered was
also brought out, and steps taken to see
that this important duty is attended to-.
The committee will meet again next
Tuesday evening when the Campaign
Committee will make arrangements for
the holding of mass meetings through
