LAWLESSNESS IN THE WEST.
Parts OF Nebraska and South Dakota Infested
With Outlaws and Cattle Thieves.

Chamberlain, S. d., July IA state
OF extreme lawlessness exists in the north
central part of Nebraska and the adjacent
territory in South Dakota, and only the
most vigorous measures on the part of the
authorities or the settlers themselves will
remedy the evils now prevalent. For
years the country between Lyman county,
directly west of here and Holt and Keya
Paha counties, Nebraska, have been in
tested with what appear to be organized
gangs af cattle and horse thieves.
Enough has been learned to make 1t
evident that this band has convenient
rendezvous at various points throughout
the so or 60 miles of territory where 1t
operates Cattle and horses that stray
toward White river disappear with great
regularity, as also do cattle and horses
belonging to farmers and stockmen resid-
ing throughout that portion Of South
Dakota. This leads to the conclusion
that the thieves take the stock stolen
from South Dakota farmers and ranch
men. and dispose of them to settlers in
Nebraska.
Certain residents of the infected region
who have no visible means Of support are
suspected of being in league with the
thieves, but no positive evidence has rs
yet been secured against them. Gangs of
horse and cattle thieves have been practi-
cally wiped out Of existence on several
occasions in northern Nebraska and
southern South Dakota during the last
20 years by the enraged settlers, and there
are indications that the same effective
measures will be resorted to again.

STEPHANiE CLEVELAND. PERHAPS.
The Wiseacres in Washington Think They Have
Named the New Baby.

Washington, July 12.-Already the peo-
pie in Washington, who think they run
the Presidents household as well as the
affairs Of the nation, have decided upon
name for the new Cleveland baby. They
have decided she shall be named after her
father. At first they tried to add
feminine termination to the name of Gro
yer, but were not pleased with the result.
Then some historian in the coterie re-
membored that the President once was
named Stephen. In fact, when he was
sheriff at Buffalo his friends used to call
him Steve. ~ When he became Governor
1t was S. Grover, but finally he dropped
the "S' altogether, and has since been
simply Grover Cleveland.
The find of the historian, however, was
most apropos one, for IL at once settled
the question so far as this coter.e goes.
The name selected was Stephanie.'' and
certainly 1t makes beautiful and stylish
name. What could be pret,ie, than
Stephanie Cleveland? And so it will be,
so far as this clique in Washington goes,
or until the fond parents select some ether
rame.

The business section of Williams, Ariz ;,
was burned, Thursday; and during the
progress of the flames bullets were flying,
portion of the population was rioting
and thugs, gamblers and open flends or
ganized to rob the city The fire was
started at 6 A. NJ, by the explosion
of gasoline stove in tailor
shop. In a few minutes two
business blocks were in flames
In the midst of the excitement caused by
the fire someone shot Mexican under the
impression that he was being robbed and
the excitement grew from this incident.
The population took sides and in a few
minutes riot was in progress and the
sheriff attempted to quell it. Then 1t was
discovered that the bad men of the place
had organized to loot the city and prompt
measures were taken to put the leaders of
the rioters into Jail. After some time
quiet was restored. The loss to the town
will be about $40, 900.

Do YOU doubt that hundreds of such cases
reported to us as cured by Golden Med
ical Discovery were genuine cases of that
dread and fatal diseasel You need not take
our word for it They have, in nearly every
instance, been so pronounced by the best
and most experienced home physicians,
who have no interest whatever in mis-
representing them, and who were often
strongly prejudiced and advised against
a trial of Golden Medical Discovery"
but who have been forced to confess that
It surpasses, in curative power over this
fatal malady, all other medicines with
which they are acquainted. Nasty cod
liver oil and its filthy "emulsions" and
mixtures, had been tried In nearly all these
cases and had either utterly failed to bene-
fit, or had only seemed to benefit little for
a short time. Extract of malt, whiskey,
and various preparations of the hypo-
phosphites had also been faithfully tried
in vain.
The photographs of large number Of
those cured of consumption, bronchitis,
lingering coughs, asthma, chronic nasal
catarrh and kindred nIaladies, have been
skillfully reproduced in a book of 100
pages which will be mailed to you, on

stamps. You can then write to those who
have been cured. and profit by their ex-

GOLD STANDARD IN SOUTH AMERICA.
United States Of Colombia Likely Soon tc
Follow chiii's Example.

Washington. July 12-The action of
Chill in going to gold basis is likely to
be followed by similar action on the part
of other South American countries. Gen.
Rengifo, the representative of Colombia in
the United States, says the tendencies in
his country are in that direction, aid that
O gold basis undoubtedly will be realized
within the next four years, and perhaps be-
fore.
"At present." said he, eve have paper
currency which answers every purpose of
local exchange and commerce, but there Is
no gold or silver behind it, and neither of
the metals Ia in use except at Panama,
where 1t has become a custom to carry on
transactions in silver. Practically, how
ever. we have nothing but paper. About
$1,000, 600 of gold is produced from
Colombian mines every year, but as the
balance of trade is against us, this pro-
duct is speedily drawn out of the county
in payment for goods brought abroad.
1T is needless, therefore, to attempt
gold basis until we can reverse the balance
of trade, so that our gold will remain at
home as basis for a gold circulation.
There is every indication that this will be
brought about by the increased exports of
coffee. The trade is increasing enormously,
and promises to offset the loss of gold from
imports.
"Our paper currency is very satisfac-
tory" continued Gen. Rengifo. al
though we have just passed through a
rebellion, the paper is worth much more
than that of some of the strongest South
American republics. For instance, che
Argentine Republic has a paper money
exactly the same IS ours, yet 1t takes 81

SINEPUXENT BEACH co.
Directors Defer Action on the
Proposed Sale of the
COMPANY.

The directors Of the Sinepuxent
Beach Company met Monday at the
Equitable Building. All the directors
were present except Mr.. W. Sidney
Wilson.
Two suggestions we're considered.
One was the possible sale Of tie com
panv and the other was an increase Of
the capital stock so rs to raise funds To
make contemplated Improvements at
Ocean City. The board did not act on
either proposition, hut concluded to
refer the whole matter To the general
meeting of stockholders, which was
called for Thursday of this week.
The capital stock of the company
consists of 600 shares of par value
of 500 each, making 100000. In
addition there is bonded debt Of
$4,000. For some time past an offer
has been pending for the purchase of
the whole issue of stock at S120 a
share. II is understood that this offer
cones from n syndicate headed by Mr..
John L. Searles. president Of the Bal
timore. Chesapeake and Atlantic Com
pany. and it is believed this company
is behind the offer.
Options were sent out to be signed
by holders of the stock, all of which
was to he deposited with the Mercan-
tile Trust Company Of Baltimore. The
majority holdings OF the stock. led by
Mr.. John +. Waggaman. of Washing
ton. declined to sell at this price unless
they were paid for their equitable
interest in the property as well. In
consequence the deal has not been
made.
At the meeting Monday Mr.. Wae.
gaman. while still claiming something
for his equitable right in having aided
in the development and Improvement
of Ocean City. reduced his price figures
somewhat, and his proposition will I've
laid before the stockholders Tor action.
Should the sale fail to he consuuate,l,
then the stockholders will consider the
second proposition Of doubling the
present capital stock by issuing 600
additional shares. With the 500, 900
derived from the sale 81; the stock the
company will in that event build an
electric road twelve miles long. extend
ing through the property which it
controls at Ocean City. Additional
hotel accommodations and other I'M
provemelts that would add TO the
attractiveness of the resort NAV also
be provided.
