In each direction.
Mayor James A. Rice opened the meet

Booth, both gentlemen becoming eloquent
In their efforts In behalf Of the cause of
the people. The meeting was one of the
o Id fashioned kind, made up of thinking
men who gathered to attentively listen to
able discussions OF the great political
questions of the day. Many old-time
Republicans met the speakers after the
meeting and stated in emphatic terms
that this fall their votes would be cast

survival OF the Fittest

While horses in the United States
show decrease Of only 2 per cent in
number in four years there value has
decreased within a fraction of so per
cent. Today a good bicycle costs
more than an ordinary horse. but it
is far less expensive to keep.
Many causes have combined to low
er the value of horses. but the decline
has not really set in. Electricity,
compressed air and the mineral oils
have not fairly begun their attack up
on the equine species. Until the mo-
tocycle is as common as the bicycle
the horse need not fear for existence.
The real struggle is still in the future.
Inventions that at the outset threat
ened man as worker, such as the
spinning and weaving machines. farm
and foundry machinery and mining
devices, speedily proved to be bene-
factors of mankind because they
cheapended production, advanced
wages. bettered living and industries.
Man is the only animal with whom
science contends in vain. Invention.
aided by nature. is catching up with
the horse. and. instead of Increasing
his usefulness and thereby augment
ing his value. he is gradually but re-
lentlessly pushed out of his place.
Man alone not only survives all as
saults but triumphs overall assailants
and inevitably harness his antagonists
into his service.
Thus evolution confirmed genera
ton after generation. 1t is the fit
test that survives

sional convention at Madison, and sew
enteen delegates. nine from the north

court Sole. from pell Rapld.

From the last issue OF the Dell RAJ
pids Tribune we CLEAN that James
Smith was found guilty of robbery
under such circumstances as to war
rant the belief that the court viii pro-
nounce upon him a sentence of the
severest nature allowed by law in Da-
kota. The jury brought in verdict
of robbery in the first degree On
looking up the matter we find in the
Penal Code of Dakota laws compiled
in 1887 that Chaper u, Section 6490,
reads as follows
Whenever two or more persons
conformity commit robbery or where
the whole number of persons conioint-
" committing robbery. and persons
present and aiding such robbery.
amounting to two or more, each and
either OF such persons (shall be found
guilty Of robbery in the first degree
and) Is punished by Imprisonment for
life
From the reading of the Dakota law
it would appear that the jury having
found James Smith guilty of robbery
in the first degree has lett the Judge
nothing to do but sentence him to
Imprisonment for life From the re-
port of the trial given in the Tribune
we infer that the court will stand by
the verdict.
Joe Smith, the brother OF James.
and Gus Kroening were not ready for
trial and were bound over to the next
term of the circuit court. their bail
being placed at $4,000 each. The
court insisted that if either or both of
them were released on bail the actual
money must be deposited in court,
that ordinary bonds for their appear
ance would not be accepted Both of
them are still in Jail.
Young Kepharte, the boy how
turned states evidence, will probably
be sent to the reform school.

NEW BUILDINGS GOING UP.
LANCASTER CARPENTERS HAPPY
OVER THE OUTLOOK.

OVER THE OUTLOOK.
licences viii be Built This Season Look
Out for the Boom.
Hard times has been the burden
OF the peoples song in this locality for
two years. and not without good rea-
son, too, for the total failure of our
hay crop and the partial failure of
corn and small grains has taxed our
people to the utmost to buy feed for
cattle and hogs, and the money that
would have remained with us to
brighten home affairs has been ship
ped out to pay for feed shipped in.
Whenever the farmers good boat
ships water town people get wet feet,
too. for we are all in the same craft;
consequently the faces Of our carpen-
tiers and builders had been growing
longer and more solemn as spring APP
preached, for it did seem that the peo-
pie who had money to build with
would be ''scarey'' of the times and
hold orto their dollars until prospects
brighten.
The ice on the countenance of Jack
plane men began to break last Satur-
day when it became known that con-
tractors were being deluged with or
ders from people who will build as
soon as the weather permits. Satur-
urday night it became certain that
over twenty new building will go up.
Carpenters permit us to name few
of those who have already closed con-
tracts with them for building. but re-
quested us to withhold for two or
three weeks the names of the larger
portion as many of their customers
do not wish to have their designs
made public until their plans are COM
pleted. Here are few of the people
who have faith in the future prosper
ity of our city. They do not seem to
be influenced by the lying reports
sent out through the Teller to the eff
feet that our city is bankrupt from
building waterworks.
John Wright, ST., will erect new
.vo-story brick block, plate glass
fronts, on the corner of North Madi-
son and East Hickory streets, the
lower part is to be used for three store
rooms and the upper part for ten adj
ditional bedrooms to the Wright
house. This will be fine structure
running from the corner mentioned
south to within eight feet of the
Wright house, which space is left to
admit light and air into the north side
of the old building.
f. l.. Howe will erect two houses
one cottage-on lots purchased OF
Joe Nathan situated on south Madison
street, across the road from and near
the old Eaton place. One of the
houses he will reside in and the other
ne will rent.
John f. Day and Harry Patch will
each build new residences on West
Maple street. They will be good ones
and an ornament to that part OF the
city.
w. d Suttle will erect substan-
tial residence on South Van Buren,
street
Chas. Burrows and Mr.. Smith will
each erect residences on North Madi-
son street.
Fin Walker will build a house on

contracted for than at this time last

to be able to state positively that

build fresh-air addition to his barn.

One of the curiosities of the election
was that there were IL more votes for
supervisor than for aldermen, an
other was the readiness with which

of canvassers the intention of voters
who had cast ballots for supervisor
only.
