PEOPLE ARE IMPATIENT
FOR PASSAGE OF THE TARIFF
BILL
Secretary Gage sympathizes With
Business Mems Desire to Get at
the Currency Question

WASHINGTON, May 31.-Secretary
Gage has returned to this city from
Cincinnati, where he was a guest at
the banquet given last Friday by the
Commercial club of that city to the
visiting clubs from Chicago, Boston and
st. Louis. Mr.. Gage said today that a
feeling of impatience seemed to be gem
eral among the people at the delay in
the passage of tariff bill. The country
was in condition approaching stagna-
tion, and although the public realize
that the greatest care is necessary in
the construction of a bill of such vast
Importance, the people were beginning
to complain of the time being consumed
What they most wanted was the prompt
passage of tariff bill that would pro-
duce sufficient revenues, and with that
question out of the way they could take
up the question of reform in the cur
rency. The business men in attendance
on the Cincinnati meeting, Mr.. Gage
thought, were agreed that currency
should be authorized and appointed at
once with a view to the reformation
plan, which could be presented to con-
gress on it's reassembling in December.
During the recess of congress it was
thought that hearings could and should
be given to those who might desire to
be heard from all parts of the country
1t was great question, he added, and
should have the fullest discussion. If
the commission should fail to agree
upon satisfactory plan, the admins
tration very likely would have a propo-
sition to present to congress. In any
event, the people with whom the secre-
tary conferred agreed that some action
should be taken at once. The business
of the country impatiently demanded
it, he concluded.
A SUGAR SCHEDULE
CHICAGO, May 31.-The Posts
Washington special says: The Demo-
cratic members of the house ways and
means committee are formulating su-
gar schedule which they will offer as
substitute for all pending propositions
in that line. 1t will be antitrust and
the gentlemen who are engaged in its
construction claim that 1t will give quite
as much, if not more, protection to home
producers than either the Dingley or
the Aldrich schedules, and at the same
time enable consumers to supply their
demands cheaply. They decline, how
ever, to 60 into particulars.

NOT REPEALED
Arizona Homicides Will Not Escape
Punishment

KINGMAN, Ariz., May 31.-The dis
covery has just been made that the
harshly criticised law enacted by the
last legislature defining homicide does
not repeal the old law. The repeating
clause refers to the act defining treason
and imposing punishment therefor, ami
Is embraced In title three, in five Sec
tions. The new law repeals three Sec
tions under this title. The homicide
law sought to be repealed is under title
eight. 1t is now certain that an extra
session Of the legislature will be called
to remedy the defect in the law defining
homicide and also to repeal the law
passed at the last session requiring a
territorial registration of cattle brands,
popularity known as the bull tick law.

HELD TO CIRCUIT COURT.

VIM. D. Sanford Was Held for Alleged
Selling of Beer at wholesale.
On the arrival of the Milwaukee pas
senger from the east Monday after
noon the case of the State va. VIM. D.
Sanford was called before Justice Nc
Kinley, Attorney Winsor taking care
of the prosecution and Judge Aikens of
Sioux Falls and F. NJ. Goodykoontz of
this city looking after the interests of
the defendants. Mr.. Sanford was ar
ranged on complaint made by Fred
Widmann for selling beer without a
wholesale license. The first witness
called was Frank Trinar, living near
Letcher, who, two weeks ago, purchas-
ed keg OF beer containing eight gal
Ions, pa, ing Mr.. Sanford for it. The
keg was opened yesterday afternoon by
the sheriff to secure the evidence that
the keg really contained beer and sew
eral witnesses were called to testify as
to what the keg contained, being con-
clusively proven that beer was in the
keg. Agent Halphide was called as a
witness to show that Sanford had, dur
ing the month of July, shipped guam
tity of beer. Mr.. Winsor rested his
case at this point, Judge Aiken asked
the court to dismiss the case on the
ground that tho evidence was not sufi-
cient to constitute a public offenAe.
Justice Mckinley, however, held Mr..
Sanford to the circuit court in bonds OF
5000. Mr.. Widmann, in conversation
with TIE REPUBLICAN, stated that
be had nothing against Mr.. Sanford
selling beer at wholesale so long as he
conformed to the law, and the move he
made in the matter was for his own
protection.

SOME WEATHER FOR AUGUST
Professor Hicks Schedules Oppressively
Hot Weather Mixed in With Hail.

Although predicting dry weather for
July Hicks was away off in his calcula-
tions so far as applied to this state, for
there has been an abundance of rain in
every section. His resume for August
weather is as follows;
A great heat wave will be sure to
open the month. The atmosphere will
be oppressive. Storms are due to
and in the northwest until about the
9th, with no very decided disturbances,
in which case heavy and dangerous
storms may be expected 6 to 10. Sat-
are central storm days. The change
from smeltering heat to very cool is
likely. Hail may be looked for within
49 hours Of 6 p. m., on the 7th, by very
cool and light frosts in the north. An
other warm wave II to IA, followed by
storms from west to east and cooler.
From 20 to rs very warm, but south
winds, local storms, but little rain.
Change to rain and cooler 81. If elec-
trical storms are not general and heat
continues earthquakes may be expected
and the Gulf will have hurricanes and
cyclones.
The general outlook for August in
the northwest is warm and dry, above
the average. September is likely to
follow suit. Showers will fall here and
there and we may get them, again we
may not. There is a prospect of a light
frost early in September. October will
be the same until the middle OF the
month, after which look for storms.

BECOMING MORE SERIOUS.
There Seems to be no Cessation of this
Cattle Stealing Business.

1t there ia any person who can round
up these cattle rustlers and put stop
to the stealing that has been going on
he will be doing the farmers around
the country great deal of good. 1t
was thought that when one arrest was
made that the stealing would stop for
the present at least but it seems to keep
up with renewed vigor, and people are
becoming thoroughly incensed over the
outrages. Friday Charles Lindsay,
living 10 miles north of town, came to
the city with the information that
seven head of cattle were stolen Wed
nesday night from farmers in his neigh
borhood. Three were taken from John
Wilde and four from Henry Jacobus.
Both men discovered the absence of
their cattle the next morning, but not
knowing of the stealing going on,
thought, in all probability, that they
had strayed away. Mr.. Wilde drove
down to his neighbor's to see if his
cattle were there and he discovered
that Mr.. Jacobus was also q loser of some
cattle. They hunted all over that see
tion of country but could find no trace
of them whatever and they have come
to the conclusion that their cattle have
gone with the rest of the absent ones.
j.. p. Leister, living west of town
about six miles, had cow driven from
his pasture Thursday night and all ef-
forts to discover her whereabouts have
been unsuccessful. She was feeding

Fred Widman's saloon on the corner
of Main and Second streets, was entered
last night or early this morning and
the money drawer was robbed of about
81. Whoever the party was had key
which unlocked the front door and in
his hurried departure neglected to re-
lock the door. A stranger in the city
by the name of Reilly claimed to have
seen the fellow enter the saloon, and,
on the supposition that the party had a
right to enter the place, asked him to
bring out some liquid refreshments.
When the burglar re-appeared he
broke into run and got away.
