OF all republicans in the county. And

The Campaign.

The great campaign OF 1896 will
soon be on, and every man should
keep posted upon the political move
ments i'll nation, state and county.
The best and cheapest way to do
this is to secure the great Chicago
Inter Ocean and the PREss-both
for the sun of $50. The Inter
Ocean will keep Il reader thoroughly
posted on national affairs, and the
PRESS will furnish the state and
county news. 1t will take $l.5Ocash
to secure the two papers for one
year.

James Cummings and Ed Dunn
went out to Pierre and returned Fri
day on Il special train, and report a
singular and exciting chase. The
train consisted ofenginean cabOose.
While eight or ten men we're sitting
in the cabOose near HighmCre. they
heard the engine whistle, and felt the
train begin to strike a lively gait.
When they got to the doors and
looked ahead, they saw Il big prairie
wolf speeding down 3he track several
rods ahead o. the engine. The snow
was deep on either side, but right be-
tween the rails was Il good path, and
the wolf stuck to this path. The en-
gineeT concluded the wolf would STAY
to Il finish, and turned her wide open.
Away went the wolf at his best clip,
but the iron horse commenced to eat
up the distance intervening, and in
about Il quarter mile run, and while
right in a cot the train passed over
the struggling body OF the wolf.
When an effort was made to stopthe
tram, those on board realized how
fast they had been going. They fin
ally stopped, backed up, and the n
ginear took his wolf to Pierre, where
the Jbide was taken of. He will have
it made into II rug, as IA reminder of
an exciting incident in his life on the
rail. -,

Talk about republican papers be-
ing cuckoos! There is decided evil
dence to the contrary Just now in
this state, in the roasts our honOra-
bic Senator Pettigrew is receiving.
Some OF them may be Occasioned by
personal differences with the senator
or his friends, but they manifest an
independence seldom seen in the
party papers OF any other state. Of
course there are some papers, not so
many, equally friendly to him. Both
sides say some good things for and
against him. SO far as the Press is
concerned it doesn't care a continent
tai whether Frank Pettigrew sue
ceeds in going to st. Louis or not.
Whoever goes should have IN ex-
preston of the republicans in county
and state conventions, and then do
as instructed. In other words, any
delegate to any convention should
represent the people who select him
as near as their wishes can be known.
