PROSPECTIVE DEADLOCK
IN THE THIRD DISTRICT
Candidates For Judicial Nomination
Are so Numerous That
Trouble Is Due.
CONVENTION TO BE HELD SEPT. IS
Adjutant General Ships Effete Rifles
Back to Uncle Sans Arsenal
---Grain Destroyed by
Fire.

Huron, Sept. There are four can-
didates for the circuit J%udgeship in the
Third judicial district, viz: George
~. Matthews of Brookings county,
Carl Sherwood of Clark county, c. S.
Whiting of Kingsbury county, and G,
X. Seward of Codington county. Each
of these men will go to the republican
convention in Castlewood OF The 15ti.
inst. with their respective county dele
cations at their backs. There are SIX
counties in the district-the two not
having n candidate are deuel. and
Hamlin, they having fourteen dele
gates each. The total membership ot
the convention is 1907: necessary to a
choice, 81. by this it will be seen that
some one of the four candidates must
ecure the withdrawal of one of his
competitors in his favor. and also Sc
cure the support of the delegates from
both counties not having Il candidate
before he can hope to receive the NOM
nation. To persuade IL of the aspi-
rants to withdraw will be no small
task, as it is claimed that all are in
the race to win. The apportionment
by counties is such that should any
candidate receive the support of the
delegates from Deuel. and Hamlin
counties he will lot have votes enough
to give him the nomination. Re must
either induce one of the candidates to
withdraw or break his following and
capture n portion of his strength. The
situation is interesting and is being
watched by outsiders generally. 1t is
not certain hat both Deuel. and Ham
lin counties will not present candi-
dates before the date for the conven-
ton. In that event the contest will
be intensified.

probable the decision will be ready

Mr.. McIlenna has not vet decided
whether his decision will cover all the

the board of county commissioners of

deprived of separate schools if the A

The failure of the board or commits
sioners to make the levy was caused by
the fact that it believed that the separ-
ate school law passed in 1897 was in eff
feet, but az the law contained nothing to
show how SUE a levy should be made
a serious defect-the commissioners
were unwilling to proceed. Attorney
Roberts said in his brief: "If the law of
1897 is in force. of course this cause for
action will not lie. and the writ must
be denied"
1t was urged upon the court to con-
slider the case at once. as the district
court in Kingfisher county will not con-
vene till the latter part of October,
while the school term beginsin Septem-
Der. The case was allowed to go over

CHANDLER ON CIVIL SERVICE
Believes in Reform in a Way, but
Hasn't time to Talk About
IT. Now.

Exeter, N. H., Sept. 1.-THE News
Letter put to Senator Chandler this
query:
do republican leaders generally re-
gard civil service reform as an essen
tial article of party belief? The civil
service plank of the st. Louis platform
was it intended as the embodiment of
party belief, to be loyalty supported. or
was it intended for political effect?"
The senator replied:
Q course, a civil service system is a
part of the principles of the republican
party, adopted not for political effect.
but from a consideration of the public
good, and should be Loyalty supported
by all republicans. The question is.
however, what is a fair and Just civil
service system? 1 believe in the exist
Ing system as applicable to all clerical
employees. 1 do not believe in extending
1t downward to the lowest workman
and upward to include so many high
officials who handle public money under
bond. Much controversy might arise
over these reservations of mine, which
| cannot discuss. l am now in
discussing other questions and have not
this on my mind"

Boston, Mass, Sept. G.-Senator
Chandler Of New Hampshire, who u
few days ago started n discussion by
stating that the discriminating clause
Of Section 90 of the Dingley tariff bill
was passed by a "trick of legislation"
in the Herald replies to Senator Frye,
who Il few days ago declared that he
could not tell how the amendment was
passed.
Senator Frye is a good and conciu
sive witness that what l say is tue"
saws Senator Chandler. 81 quote Sen
utor Frye's own words, How this
amendment to section % was secured
| know not
Senator Frye seems to mean that
he did not know, until after the COM
ference report was adopted July "a,
| that the trick clause was in it. Ii
that is what he does mean, then he
certainly was tricked, because his re-
lation to the whole subject, as chair
man of the committee on commerce,
made it impossible that he should not
have known that it was done, un'es;
it was done surreptitiously as to him
and all senators and members, except
he few contrivers of the device.
"If, on the other hand. Senator Frye
did know. before July "a. that the
thing was done. but did not know how
it was done, after he had failed in his
open plan. he omitted for the whole
week of debate, over the conference
report IN the senate. to tell his New
England constituents that the con-
ferees had struck this blow at New
England interests.
"As Senator Frye says, the conferees
are all honorable men. Of course, they
had the necessary explanatory state
ment written, and it was left by h
blunder of a clerk That is always
the safest ground to take in such
cases. w.
But whether legislation thus oh
tanned will stay, even nominally, upon
the statute book, is doubtful. More
over, whether the attorney general
will find that the trickery of legisla-
ton must be enforced until repealed
is not yet settled. 1t should not take
him fifteen minutes to hold that the
contiguous country clause only applies
where there is no treaty allowing
goods to come without extra duties in
ships entering II seaports; while, If
the effect of the other part of the trick
it should not take Secretary Sherman
fifteen minutes to make them with
England, France and Germany, and
the collection of discriminating duties
should await the deliberate action of
congress-"

THE INDIANS LOSE

Washington, Sept. 1.-THE secretary
of the interior and Indian Commits
sioner Jones held Il conference with
Major Mclaughlin, whose report reli-
tive to cattle impounded by the In
dams on the Pine Ridge agency last
Nav was submitted to the secretary
some time ago. AS IL result OF the cap
ture of these cattle, cases are now
pending in South Dakota. brought
against the stock growers by the In
dams for the payment of the prem.uln
of 81 per head. The Southwestern
Stock Growers association recently
referred the matter to the interior de-
partment, with q request for Il recon-
lnendation t. the department of jus
tice that the suits be dismissed. At the
conference it was decided that the re-
quest of the stock growers be acceded
to, and III official announcement of
the decision will be made in a fcw
days. Major Mclaughlin recommend
ed that fences be erected around the
agency to obviate the recurrence of
similar trouble, and this will be done
as soon as practicable. In the mean
time, however, Indian police will pa
troll the outskirts of the Pine Ridge
agency to prevent cattle from stray
ing on the lands. --
Major Mclaughlin, who was n short
time ago deputized by the department
of the interior to make an investiga-
ton of the question of establishing Il

Falls From n Train,
Mitchell, Sept. 81. b. Thiclgaard.
a travelling representative for the Car
penter Lumber company, of M%inneapo-
lis, was instantly killed about II
o'clock yesterday morning by falling
off a Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul
accommodation train ten miles west
of this city. He was sitting on the
steps between the mail and baggage
cars when the train left Mount Yer
non and he seemed to be sick, as he
was holding his head between his
hands. That was the last seen of him
until section men found him one and
a half hours later lying across the
track dead. The conductor did not
miss the man fran his train and the
first knowledge of his death came from
Mount Vernon. The presumption is
that he lost his balance and in at
tempting to catch himself fell between
the W. coaches. His mileage books,
gold watch and pocketbook were
found on the ground near the body.
An examination of the car after the
accident showed blood on the wheels
and portions of brain matter were
seen on the brake beam. His head and
face was crushed to a jelly and his left
leg was completely severed from his
body. The %coroner's jury last evening
rendered a verdict of accidental death.

Recently the faithful were inexpressi-

mony, the infants they held. To the
still greater dismay of the onlookers
the mothers fed precipitately, instead
of defending their offsprings. When
quiet had been somewhat restored it
was discovered that the little crea-

1T WAS BUT FAIRLY BELOW
The Jackson-Harmsworth Expedi-
ton Returns After an Absence
of Three Yenrs.

London, Sept. 1.-THE British steam
er, Windward, having on board
the Jackson-Harmsworth expedition
which has spent three winters near
cape Flora, Franz Josefiand, arrived
here from Franz Josef Land, with Il.
G. jackson and his colleagues. All the
members of the expedition are in good
health. They report having explored
Franz Josef Land thoroughly with the
exception of some odd corners.
Before the Windward sailed the
quarters of the expedition at Elmwood
were fastened up, but Mr.. Jackson
left there a quantity of supplies in case
the place should be visited by Prof.
Andree or other explorers. He also
established n depot at Belle Island.
The result of the explorations, it is
claimed, completely revolutionize the
old idea of Franz Josef Land and
proves that the much discussed land
does not lie where Arctic geographers
have been in the habit of placing it.
and therefore it may be considered
non existent.
The whole continental mass of land
is replaced by q vast number of small
islands and the lofty mountains by
wig iiiStu lltlllIIlloNhS anu lCe phCNS,
while sorth of these areas has been
found an open sea which is the most
open north sea in the whole world.
The members of the expedition
killed 400 loon in the autumn, which
provided ample fresh meat.
The cold sometimes reached forty
degrees below zero and jumped up to
twenty degrees below the freezing
point.
The members of the expedition
failed to see King Oscar Land, and are
convinced that there are no great
lands north of Franz Josef Land.
They add that the existence of of Pet
erman Land is doubtful, and that at
most it must be small.
These alterations in the map render
the prospect of reaching the north pole
from Franz Josef Land more than
doubtful, as the returned explorers
are satisfied that there is no land north
of 50 degrees. They did not see any

BANDITS HOLD UP A TRAIN
They Get the Contents of the Safe
in an Express Car Amount-
ing to $4,000.

Denver, Sept. 6.-The Gulf passcn-
ger train No. l was held up and robbed
ut Twin Mountain last night by two
masked men. Two men got on the
blind baggage at Folsom, aud when
nearing Twin Mountain they climbed
over the tender of the engine, and
covering the engineer and fireman
with REVIEWERS. ordered them to stop
when they reached the road crossing.
At Twin Mountain two men were sta
toned III the road crossing with four
horses, and as 500 as the train
stopped they began shooting their re-
volvers to intimidate the passengers.
Two me went to the express car and
blew open the safe. 1t is not known
how much they secured, but it is esti-
mated from 5000 to $4,000. Immedi-
ately on receiving the news mt Folsom
a posse was organized and started in
pursuit. \ posse also started from
Trinidad at . IL. III. The railroad com
pany has offered a reward of $500 for
the capture of the robbers.
