Insanity is the horrible dream of
the night perpetually present during
the day. Insanity in women is oft
ener due to disease of the organs dis
tinctly feminine than to any other cause.
The insane asylums of the country are
full of women whose carelessness of their
health in this particular line has sem
fenced them to a life that is less desirable
than death. The weakness or shock that
causes such insanity is frequently the re-
suit of childbirth. At the time when a
woman's greatest usefulness should begin
she is taken away from her duties, and
from those she loves, and for months, or
years, or forever is shut away from them
by the bolts and bars of a hospital. Such
things are absolutely unnecessary. DIR.

Republican :PiatfOrIn.

The republicans of South Dakota, in
convention represented, affirm their full
faith in and ALLEGIANCE to the declaration
OF principles adopted by the national
republican convention at st. Louis in it's
entirety, constituting a platform Of a
great and progressive party, proud Of it's
past record and achievements, courage
GUS in it's championship of the right and
unfaltering in the maintenance OF its po-
litical tenete.
. We recognize in William McKin-
ley, our candidate for president, and
Carrot A. Hobart, the nominee for vice
president, two typical Americans, tried
in the public service and found able and
true, pure in their lives, untarnished in
their honor and close to the people in
their experiences and sympathies, aud
We pledge to them our most hearty and
willing effort and support, with the full
college. With such a platform and in.
vinclble leader We enter the contest with
the inspiration Of a sure prophecy OF
victory at the polls in November next.
3. We commend the present republi-
can administration Of governmental at.
fairs of this state as honest and
ical, and especially commend it's steady
purpose ana effort in exposing and
bringing to speedy punishment a former
d~efaultiug state treasurer, and recover-
ing back for the state 80 large a pOrpOr
ton of the stolen funds; and We demand q
passage OF an act by our legislature bro
viding adequate punishment for defalc
tons o. public officers.
4 The republican party having al
Ways been the friend Of labor and labor
ing men, deplores the frequent strikes
and conflicts between employers and
employed, resulting at times in the de-
struction Of life and property and great
injury to those Immediately concerned
and the public generally, and favors the
settlement Of all questions of dispute
arising between labor and capital by le-
gally constituted arbitration by which
all parties interested shall be bound.
5. We believe the transportation COR.
porations OF this state are the peoples
public servants; We oppose any and all
harsh or unjust legislation concerning
them, but we do demand such legislation
as will clothe the board Of railway CON-
m,ssioners Of this state with full power
and authority to correct evils, right
wrongs, and in general to prevent all un-
just determinations, and to provide a
reasonable maximum tariff Of passenger
and freight rates.
We recommend that each county con
v~ention OF this state, for the nomination
as members for the legislature, take such
action as will require all candidates
upon the legislative ticket to commit
themselves upon the Question Of legisla.
ton to carry out the meaning and pur.
pose OF this resolution.
6. We view with apprehension the
growth OF col porate power in this our
try, and especially are re opposed to
trusts and combines which during re.
cent years have stesd,ly multiplied, seek
ing by unjust and illegal means to stitie
competition, and thereby, while lettering

From Warren, Idaho.

| Mr.. Ira McGarry, who has spent the
greater portion of the last two years
prospecting in the vicinity of Warrens,
Idaho, writes the NUGGET, under date
of June l, as follows:
"We have had winter weather here
until last week Snow from two to
seven feet deep all over the country
here now. I think DR.. Nansen is bring
ing the North Pole back with him is
the cause of such weather. The mail is
carried in here from Meadows, sixty
miles, on snow shoes yet.
"The Stearn Dredge Placer Co., are
getting their machinery in operation
and will commence washing pay dirt in
a short time. This is the first machine
of the kind ever introduced here and it
is to be hoped it will be a success as
there is any amount of rich placer de-
posits here that are too fiat to wash with
ordinary fumes.
"As quartz camp, Warrens is in its
infancy Some very rich strikes made
here the past winter and will be lots
more as prospecting progresses.
"The mineral belt here is very exten
sive and any amount of quartz over the
entire district. Some very rich in free
gold and some very rich in silver also.
"In my opinion it is the making of
one of the best quartz camps in the
state. 1t is very hard camp to pros
pect The formation is granite, decom-
posed, on the surface, which makes the
surface ground very deep, very heavily
timbered and is covered with snow
from seven to nine months each year.
A prospector, to make a success here,
should have some capital, lots of mus
Gle, with inclination to apply it on
the pick, shovel, hammer and drill or
der, also good staying qualities. The
wagon road is open about two months
each year, August and September, and
part of that, for the first fifty miles
out from here, can scarcely be called
wagon road at any time"
