moreover in Spain to-day strong spirit OF
disunion and n strong disposition on one side
toward French protectoratc. The southern
provinces are medieval. indolent. unpractlcal
but they monopoze political power. The
northern provinces are modern, progressive

to pay cxorbitant taxes to the politicians or
the South Many Of the most thoughtful Bis
cayans and Catalonians are now avowedly IN
favor either of annexation to France outright
or Of the erection Of those provinces into au-

say that France covets Spain. But there Is no
doubt that for two centuries or more she has

Death by lightning.

The sad intelligence reached this
village Friday morning that An
drew Learned was killed by light
ming at his ranch on Battle Greek
Thursday ,evening about seven
o'clock. Mr.. Learned had gone out
to picket a horse, and vas return
ing to the house when the fatal
bolt fell. His wife saw him fall and
ran to where he was, finding him
dead. She Immediately took her
two children and walked to George
Nevis place, her nearest neighbor,
a distance Of three miles. Mr..
Nevis went to Harry Leigh's and
together they removed the body of
Mr.. Learned to the home of Mr..
Nevis. Mr.. Learned leaves a wife
and two children, the youngest of
whom is but a baby. Our whole
community extends its sympathy to
the young wife and infant children
who are thus so suddenly and so
sorely bereaved.- Hermosa Pilot.

The first range shipments of the
season at Pierre left that city on
Saturday last. Cattle are reported
to be in excellent shape all over the
range, and shipments will become
numerous from this time on. 1t is
not likely that as many cattle will
80 out from this place this season
as last, but if the beef shipments
will probably be as full as great, if
not greater, OF account Of the high
price.for this grade of cattle. Feed
ers are not in the demand which
they were last wear, and, the price is
lower. This is the result of SO many
new men going into this branch OF

losing money on their venture by
paying too high a price for their
feeders on the range.
