Skillings and family stopped here
Thursday night on their way to Pease
Valley from Oregon and Idaho, where
they went two years ago with the col
ony which left Pease Valley and set
tied at Union, Oregon. Last year MIR.
Skillings moved to Viola, Idaho, which
is about 200 miles north of Union and
seventy miles south of Spokane, Wash.
On August he left there with team
to return here, accompanied by his
wife and four children. They have
been since that time on the road, and
were struck by the late snow storm at
Chapelle creek east OF Pierre. From
there travelling has been difficult and
progress slow. His brother, Line, met
MIN at Pukwana and helped him home,
as his horses were pretty we'll played
out. Mr.. Skillings gives about the
same description of the western coun-
try as the others who have returned
from there, and say it is no place for a
poor man to go with the expectation
of getting rich. Most of those who
left here with the colony have now re-
turned, and all of them much poorer
by their experience. Mr.. Skillings has
made fair living out there by econo.

near future, preparations for war
are still being made at all our
navy yards and work is being
pushed upon coast defences at all
places that would be liable to be
attacked by hostile warships.
There is but one opinion of the
result of a war with Spain, The
Spaniards would get b d Y
whipped. But about the only
men who are really anxious for
war are our naval officers, who
only see therein the pathway to
glory and promotion, and who
are anxious to test the fighting
qualities Of our new warships.
Conservative men would regard
war as a great calamity, for even
with a weak country like SPAN
for our opponent it would cost an
enormous amount of money and
the shedding of much blood to
win victory, for which the civil
lized world would not be disposed
to give us much credit. True, in
the end we should have Cuba,
but is Cuba worth it? If Cuba is
wanted, let us buy it. That
would be cheaper, as we'll as more
in keeping. with the advanced civ
| ilization under which we live and
with our claims of being Chris
tian nation.

From latest Cuban dispatches
it seems that Gen. Weyler has re-
turned to Havana from his expe-
dition which was to annihilate
the insurgents, and there is great
excitement in the capital city,
fears being entertained that
Maceo aud his followers will at.
tack the sity.
Turner County herald. (Hurley, Dakota [S.D.]) 1883-19??, 1896-11-26

members of his party would
rather see almost anybody else
speaker of the house than MIR.
Reed is certain; a man cannot
be as aggressive as Mr.. Reed is
by nature without making enc
mics, but that there are or will
be enough such men to make even
the senblance of a contest
against Mr.. Reeds nomination
is SO improbable that it is almost
waste of time to discuss it.
The finder of these opposition
eggs in a mares nest takes it for
granted that MIR. Mckinley will
throw the influence of his ad-
n1in1stration against the nomina-
| ton of Mr.. Reed for speaker
again because Mr.. Reed was his
rival for the presidential nomina-
tion this year and may be again
in 1900 if he retains his promi-
nence. Such isn't the view of
most Of the veteran political OBJ
servers. They think that Nc
Kinley is entirely too shrewd a
man to fight Reed, even If there
were a reasonable chance that he
could prevent his being speaker
again, which there isn't, when he
must see how necessary Reeds
corporation will be to the success
of his administration. Whatever
rivalry there may be between the
two men later on it is practically
certain that Mckinley as presi-
dent and Reed as speaker of the
next house will be found working
harmoniously together for the
next two years.
Gen. E. w. Pettus, who will
after the 4th Of next March
succeed Senator Pugh, of Ala, is
one of the most noted politicians
and railroad lawyers of the south.
He declined an election to the
senate twenty years ago. He is
an uncompromising silver man,

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From Our Regular Correspondent.
WASHINGTON. d. c.. Nov. 20, '96.


WASHINGTON. d. c., Nov. 20, '96.
Senators and representatives
are getting quite numerous in
Washington, but most of them
seem more intent upon ascertain
ing where they are at" than up
on expressing their own opinions.
The republicans are practically
unanimous in desiring that no
action be taken upon the tariff
question at the short session and
that an extra session be called to
meet as soon as possible after Nc
Kinley's Inauguration for the
express purpose of passing gem
eral tariff bill, and if the opinion
of all the republican senators is
correctly represented BY those al
ready in Washington it seems
reasonably certain that no at
tempt will be made to pass the
Dingley tariff bill at this session
and that an extra secession will
be called as soon as President
Mckinley assumes office.
AS a rule the democrats, neith-
er gold or silver men, are doing
any definite talking for publica-
ton. They are consulting, watch
ing each other, and waiting for
developments before deciding up
on their. future course, each side
hoping to control the party's fu-
ture actions.
The only two populist senators
who have spoken---Butler and
Peffer---are not of the same opin-
ion. Senator Butler says the pop
ulist party is the organization
around which the friends of sill
yer must rally and that its banner
will lead the silver voters in the
next national contest while Sena.
tor PETER says the best thing tc
do is to organize an entirely new
party composed of all the ele-
ments that opposed McKinley''s
election and inviting the cooper.
alton of all those who may be.
/ come the opponents of his ad.
n1inistration.
Predictions are being freely
made that in the near future al
the advocates of the gold stand
| ard will be found in the republi
can party, and all the advocate;
of the free coinage of silver at II
to will be amalgamated into one
opposition party, whatever it:
name may be. Much will depend
upon the action of the fifty-fftl
congress, and upon the busines o
the country.

GEM TRIES SUICIDE
Frantic Struggle Between
the Condemned Murderer
and His Guards.
GAsHED HIS WRISTS WITH GLASS
Fought With Maniac Fury-His
Ingratitade for Kind
Treatment.
DASHED HIS WRISTS WITH GLASS

Paul GEM, who is under sentence to be
hanged on July 16 for the murder of Clara
Arnim. has made another attempt to COM
init suicide. The attempt was made last
Friday night and the jail AUTHORITIES
have done their utmost to keep theifacts
secret, but they leaked out this naof4aihg.
GEM had-lafa down on his cot and to all
appearances was asleep. About 1l:S0 he
started up and began to shout. Keepers
Pritchard and Gershom, VIII were on the
0sath watch. told him to lie down and
keep quiet. GEM began to swear at them
and call them names. He became very vio-
lent. Pritchard and Gershom started to-
ward him, when he suddenly turned and
jumping over to the window which looks
out from his cell over toward the Court
House, thrust his hands between the iron
bars and through the glass. He turned his
wrists two or three times against the
broken edges of the glass apparently max
ing a desperate effort to sever an artery,
but he only succeeded IN making a few
scratches not much more than skin deep.
Pritchard and Gershorn seized GEM and
tried to drag him away from the window.
He struggled fercely and clasping his
arms around the bars chung to them with
a strength which surprised the keepers.
William E. Reen, who is confined in the
same compartment awaiting the decision
in his appeal from .the verdict in the cleo
ton frauds case, went to the assistance
of the keepers. The noise OF the struggle
and GEMS yelling were heard down stairs
in the jail Office. Warden Mitchell and
KEEPERS Robertson and Cosey FASTENED up
and took a hand in the melee. GEM
seemed to have the strength of a maniac.
When he was finally dragged away from
the bars he kicked at the attendants and
tried to scratch them. He was dragged
-out and thrown on the floor in the outer
room, where he continued to fight and
shout until the keepers succeeded in hand
cutting him with his hands behind his
back and tying his feet. He was nearly
exhausted with the fierce struggle, and
when he was carried back to the cell and
placed on his cot he remained there
quietly.
Since his sentence GEM has developed
ugly, quarrelsome disposition. He is
snarling at his keepers. Ward
en- Mitchell has been treating him with
"a. great deal of consideration, furnishing
him with food from his own table and al
lowing him as much freedom as is con-
slstent with his safe keeping. Things will
be different hereafter. AS GEM has no
appreciation of favors he will be oblige
an future to content himself with the reg
ular p~risonEfare and the watch kept on
him will be closer than ever.
