LILLY WHITES In WASHINGTON.

LILLY WHITES In WAsHINGToN.-
A delegation representing the reor.
ganized wing of the South Carolina
Republicans, consisting of Messrs.
Pope, Melton, Brayton, Clayton, Muir
ray, Smith and others, waited on Sc
cretary Dick, of the national Republi-
can campaign committee, and presen-
ted memorial setting forth their
claims for recognition as the regular
Republican organization of South Car
olina.
Major Dick promised to give the Pc
tition careful scrutiny, promised that
Justice would be done where it was
found justice was entitled.
In the petition the claims for recog-
milton are based upon various facts,
notably being the preponderance of
votes cast for Mckinley by the So
called "LillyaWhites," and the failure
of Webster Z call state convention
ton two years ago. The rest of the
reasons are practically the same as
were advanced at the St. Louis con-
vention.
As there is petition to be filed by
the opposing faction it is not likely
that any decision can be reached for
some weeks.
Webster is not here, and during his
absence his followers are practically
hors du combat.-Washington cores
pondence News and Courier, Saturday.

HELPED HIM OUT.

Once more it is the Washington girl.
This time the story is in the nature
of a love story and is as true as it is
beautiful.
The girl in question is one of that
impetuous, warm-hearted, impulsive
kind, which is indigenous to this lati-
tude, and she is as sharp Intellectually
as if she were Boston product.
The man in the case is a New Eng
lander, in Washington during the win
ter, because Washington is the finest
winter resort on earth, and this young
man has got money enough to have
the very best Of everything. At the
same time he is as difident and distant
as the chariest Yankee that ever lived
albeit he is all right when the ice is
broken around him.
The young chap was in love with
the girl, and had been since last win
ter, but he stumbled over himself so
when he tried to tell her, that she
really never knew what was the mat
ter with him, though she more than
half suspected.
When Lent began, he thought the
time had arrived when he must tell
her all that was in his throbbing heart,
and proceeded to do so.
"Mlss Blank" he said, after lot of
preliminaries, with which this chron-
icle has nothing to do, 81 have some
thing very important to say to you this
evening""
ayes ?" she twittered cheerily from
the depths of an easy chair she occu-
pied about 40 feet away from him.
"Yes, Miss Blank" he said, after a
pause, II love you-love you more
than can tell. Don't you know tha,
I do ?" be added nervously.
She was as cool as cucumber, which
was rather remarkable, seeing that she
had very large place in her heart for
the bashful suitor.
II can't say that I do. Mr.. x" she
replied, with chill to his hopes.
"But you ought to know it, Miss
Blank" he insisted.
81 don't see why ought" she ar
gued.
because I love you, that's why"
and he got up and began pacing the
floor.
"That's no reason why l should
know it," she persisted.
eff it isn't, is there anything l can
do to show you how much 1 love
you ?"
By this time he was so nervous he
almost danced.
ayes, there is, and you ought to
know what it is, Mr.. X" and now the
young woman arose and faced him as
he stopped near her chair.
"Name it," he said hoarsely, sand
I'll do it if it takes my life"
"Why it is simply to take me in
your arms and kiss me. That's what
it is, and you ought to have done it
long ago."
They will be married in June

CHAPTER XIII.
ALESSoN IN POLIrENESS.

Within five minutes we had a big
surprise, for the sheriff and Mr.. Bald
win came back, and the former an
nounced that Fred and Lord Rallies
were free, having been released on bail
When we found that Camp had gone on
the bond, I knew that there was a
scheme of some sort in the move, and,
taking Fred aside, I warned him against
trying to recover the proxies.
"They probably think that one or the
other of you knows where the letters
are hidden" I whispered, "and they'll
keep a watch on you, so 60 slow"
He nodded and followed the sheriff
and Lord Rallies out
The moment they were gone Mr..
Baldwin said, II came back to give
you a last chance"
"That's very good Of you, I said.
"Iwarn you," he said threateningly,
Eve are not men TO be beaten There
are so cowboys of mine in this town
who think you were concerned i'll the
holding up. By merely tipp ng them
the wink they'll have you ort Of this,
and after they've got you outside I
wouldn't give the toss of nickel for
your life. Now, then, will you hand
over those letters or will you 60 to --
inside of ten minutes?"
I lost my temper in turn. I'D much
prefer going to some place where I was
less sure of meeting you," I retorted,
land, as for the cowboys, you II have to
be as tricky with them as you want to
be with me before you'll get them to
back you up in your dirty work. :"
At this point the sheriff called back
to ask Baldwin if he was coming.
"All right" cried Baldwin and went
to the door. "This is the last CALL" he
said, pausing for a moment on the
threshold.
IT hope 3d." said I, more calmly in
manner than in feeling, I have to ac-
knowledge, for I didn't like the look Of
things. That they were in earnest ]
felt pretty certain, for understood now
why they had let my companions out Of
Jail. They didn't care to risk hanging
more than was necessary.
A long time seemed to pass after they
were gone, but in reality it wasn't
more than 15 minutes before I heard
some one steal up and softly unlock the
door. confess the evident endeavor tc
do it quietly gave me scare, for ii
seemed to me it couldn't be an above
board movement. Thinking this, pick
ed up the box on which had been sit
ting and prepared to make the best fight
could. 1t was a good deal Of relief,
therefore, when the door opened just
wide enough for man to put in his
head, and I heard the sheriff's voice
say softly:
"Hi. Gordon''

ayes, 1 amt a s'preme jedge, but
I've got mo- sense than to 90 out In q
woods that I don't know anything
about an git drowned"
"But you haven't got enough sense
to get out of a woods that you do
know something about"
"Oh, I think 3d." The lank fellow
got up, went behind tree, took up q
canoe, and, as he was preparing to
shove it off, remarked:

had followed them.
A year ago a man who believes in
poisoning wolves, dragged fresh beef
hide 81 miles, throwing out bait of
poisoned meat. Next day, on his
return over the line, he found, %
wolves and coyotes dead, while others,
no doubt, had wandered away sick to
some hole or other and died.
A very effective trap is made of q
gang of fishhooks baited with meat.
The hooks are hung on wires and fas-
tened to branches. The animals come
along, smell the bait, and getting on
their hind legs, succeed in reaching it.
The bending of the branch prevents
the hooks from being torn out. 1t
makes it decidedly interesting when a
panther gets hold of hook instead Of
q wolf.

s9 Renan tells a story of church
service in Brittany where the priest de-
livered such a touching appeal that
his hearers, with one exception, shed
tears. But this one robust individual,
who was leaning back against pillar,
remained unmoved throughout the en-
tire sermon. The rest of the congre-
CATION could not imagine how this
heart of stone had remained untouch-
ed. "And you," said one of them to
the man, "You are not weeping !"
"Why, no." said he, II don't belong to
this parish !"

HUNTING WoLvEs.-The gray wolf
is not much taller than setter dog.
He is longer and heavier, a sort of
combination of wire and rawhide,
which never tires and can cover ground
with great rapidity. A man not long
ago started two wolf hounds after six
hungry wolves of this type. The dogs
overlook the wolves with unexpected
ease, and then the wolves ate the dogs,
evidently thankful that supply train

H6r A scientific man who has given
much study to the question has come
to the conclusion that the weight of
the earth, taking the ton as the unit,
is expressed by a figure six followed
by twenty-one ciphers. There is rea-

ly accurate, and also to be thankful
that in the nature of things it is i'm

The Memorial and Biographical
Record of the Black Hills region
which is in process of completion
will be a work of great value, not
only to the people of today, but es-
pecially valuable to future genera
tlons. All biographies will be writ
ten with great care and submitted
before publication to the persons fur
nishing the information. The work
will make an accurate and valuable
work of reference for many years to
come. We trust that the citizens of
the Black Hills who may be called
upon for information will take the
interest which is due such a lauda-
BILE enterprise. F. G.. Carter, who
represents the long established pub
fishing house of Geo. A. Ogle l. Co..

Often asked and easily told! Why
it is Rapid City can sell merchan-
disc for less than other towns? It
is because their exposes are less.
Take for instance, "Chases where
they sell cheap only pay Is dol
lars rent for their mammoth store
instead of $175 they would have to
pay in the Northern hills. There
you see is $3.50 per month that is
divided among their customers.
Why, Chase himself admits that his
Rapid City store sells on the small
est margin of and store he ever
knew in his thirty five years exper-
ence.

If the corn crop is as good in other portions
of the country as it is in Carroll the price will
be very low However, farmers cannot grum
BILE if it is, since other farm products are
bringing good prices. There is more corn
uncut in this section than we have known for
a long time, and had it not been for friend
Steele sending hands to help the farmers out
Jack Frost would undoubtedly claim the
larger share.
Politics is very quiet about here and likely
to remain so this fall, since the Republicans
have taken a sort OF set back, as some OF
their leaders have not met the entire views of
the party. Itlooks at present like the Democ-
racy of Carroll will make clean sweep.
This can easily be accomplished under exist,
ing circumstances, if some don't get the big
head 1t would be gratifying, indeed if all
would unite and lay aside all strife and show
the opposite party thing or two.
