One Shot In His Gun That Didn't Do Its
Duty.
"Speakin' of game men," remarked a
westerner with frowzled whiskers,
there was Sam Slug, of Slugville, as
we called him, but it wasn't his name,
that used to be city marshal Of our
town. He was on the shoot in a min
ute, and when his gun went pop some
thing was bound to come down. 1 re-
member one night he went into a s a
loon full of tough citizens to make an
arrest, and the gang was onto him. He
took his sixteen-shooter with him, but
the crowd was so full they didn't seem
to take hat into account, and when
Sam collared his man the row began.
When it vas all over, the saloon was
cleaned out, and Sam and a.number of
his teller citizens occupied the floor,
and we fshed Sam out and took him to
his boardin' house. He wasn't very
badly hurt, not near as bad as the
others, and the next day, as I was
the mayor of the town, / went up to
see Sam.

The Woman's Edition.

The Woman's edition OF the Daily
Journal which made it's appearance on
Saturday morning, was one of the best
publications ever issued in Rapid City.
A glance at it's pages will convince the
reader that there are some able writers
among the ladies OF Rapid City. Almost
every subject from societies hollow
gossip, to the ~welghtest questions of
political economy were discussed with
an ability and ease that would put to
shame many of the would be great
writers OF the country.
The ladies in issuing this paper have
presented an argument, or rather an
object lesson, for those who 80 strenu-
ousiy oppose equal ufferage, to consider.
They have shown by their management
that the knowledge Of business is not
altogether confined to the brain OF men,
and that women even have a knowledge
OF political questions, that'will compare
tavorably with the negro and Sioux In

Rev. A. j. Cheesemen will be the
speaker of the evening at the union
meeting OF Sunday evening next, to be
held in the M. q. church. under the aus
pices OF the W. c. T. U. AS that day
will be the last day OF the world conven-
ton, he will speak with reference to that
occasion. Rev. J. B. earns, who filled
the M. E. pulpit On last Sunday, gave a
fitting address for the opening of the
week in temperance work.
The w. G. 7. U. will hold a business
meeting IN the NJ. E. church next Tues
day p. M, at 300 o'clock. All are in
vited to attend.
The Worlds w. G.. 7. U. convention is
held this week in London. A large num-
Der OF delegates from this country, and
delegates from many other countries, as
we'll as from the islands OF the sea are in
attendance. The queen Of the island Of
Madagascar is there, who was prevented
from attending the Cleveland convention
last fall, because OF a cargo OF liquor
having been sent to her island from the
United States. She stayed at home to
see that that liquor should not land.
The wife OF the governor of Australia is
there; and varied costumes Of the east
are to be seen.
Mrs. Helen M. Barker, ex-president
from South Dakota, was announced to
speak in Surgeons church last Sunday.
Eighty Of the leading pulpits opened to
the White Ribbon women for June l6
and 90. The Great Petition is to be
presented at their meeting before the
British government.
The music for the convention is fur
nished by a choir OF four hundred young
women trained by Miss Gordon, and
five hundred children trained by Mr..
Cowley.
A reception will be given to all the
delegates by Lady Henry Somerset at
her home, Regate Priory, June %. Elk
Gu sions are planned to Windsor Castle
and Eastnor Castle. Surely this is a de-
lightful time for the noble representa-
tives Of the White Ribbon army. "The
