FOUND GOLD AT ARMOUR.
A Workman Accidentally Struck a Vein OF
Gold at That Place.

A Workman Accidentally struck Vein of
Gold at That Place.
Armour people are thoroughly ex-
cited over the discovery of gold in that
town. H. L, Brown, of that place, was
in town TO-DAY and stated the circum-
stances under which the discovery was
made. Last Saturday Sam Jameson
was digging pit at the creamery and
after reaching depth of about ten feet
he struck substance which looked like
pyrites of iron, and attahced but little
idea to the supposition thatit was gold.
That evening portion of the metallic
substance was taken to Harry Crut-
chett, the druggist. who tested it in all
the ways he knew. pronouncing it, af-
ter long test, to be gold. From the
small quantity tested Jameson said
he must have dug up fully $500 worth
of the yellow metal. The land is own
ed by Johnston & Floete and they may
have small Klondike on their hands.
Naturally there is great excitement in
Armour over the great discovery.

is obtained thea we can refund our

This would be q great saving, indeed
and our efforts in this direction should
be untiring until our object is attained.

At the conclusion of the mayors
statement Alderman Levinger introduc
ed the following resolution, seconded
by Aldermen Beckwith and Bracy, and
which was unanimously carried:
Whereas, it appears by the report of
our Honorable Mayor that u large sur
plus now exists in the general fund of
the CITY of Mitchell far in excess of all
sums necessary to meet all necessary
current expenses of the said city of
Mitchell. Now, therefor, be it resolv-
ed by the city council of the said city
of Mitchell that the sum OF three
thousand five hundred dollars be trans
ferred from the general fund to the
sinking fund of the afol esaid city which
sum together with the sum now in the
said sinking fund shall be used for the
purpose of paying off four thousand
dollars worth of the outstanding city
bonds, and that the city treasurer be
and he is hereby authorized and direc-
ed to pay off eight of the said outstand-
icg bonds of $500 each. - ss@ . s-.-- -- sssxse sssxe
The situation is very gratifying
one indeed, that the bonded indebted
ness is being thus reduced, and which
means a reduction in taxes.

given by Mr.. and Mrs. Asa Dodd at

novel feature. Music was also taking
feature, a solo being contributed by
Mrs. A. G. Stevens, and trio by Mrs
o. E. Browne, Mrs. Asa Dodd and Mrs
A. G. Stevens. both of which were very
enjoyable. Later in the evening cara

lists and democrats disputed both
claims and pointed to the cotton

practical proof that they were

an uproar that it was impossible
to hear what excited members
were saying, but at no time was
it worse than when Grosvenor of
Ohio referred to Greene of Neb.,
as a "backwoodsman."

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. IS, 1898.
Important happenings, national
and International, have fairly
Etumbled over each other this

with the selection of a well-known
Ebimetallist to take the place of a

flor of the q. S. mint aud by the

A Political Roundup.

Doane Robinson, editor of the
Yankton Gazette, doubtless be-
lleveS in d long campaign, and
last week came out with a list of
those who, according to his
are In the field and are
willing to hold state offices after
the time of the present incum-
be1ats expires. There are many
more who are doubtless eager to
be placed in line and they will
show up hereafter. The Gazette
says:
fhe season is rapidly approac hing
when naturally good deal OF interest
VIII be manifested in the probable can
didates for the ensuing campaign and
already a few candidates have been an
nounced and many others beer dis
cussed. Especially is this true in rela-
tion to Candidates for Congress and the
Govenorship on the Republican side,
forit is a toregone conclusion thar
with the selection OF the right candi-
dates Republican success is assured in
1898.
For Congress Messrs Robert J Gam
BILE, Kirk G. Phillips, G. Ii. Burke. Maj
Picker. Maj. Dollard and G. b. CLARK
have been mentioned.
Mr.. Gamble, who so efficiently served
the state in the Fifty-fourth Congress
has made no announcement of his can
didancy, or of his intention in that re-
gard. Ii a nomination came to him IL
is thought however it would not be OBJ
jectionable when his usual activity III
political affairs is remembered. He is
giving his whole attention to an alb
sorbing law practice and it is not ex
pected he will neglect his business to
obtain an office He however has !,
Judging from the expressions of indi-
vidualS as well as from the press from
every section of the state his work is
appreciated and he would again besup-
ported with enthusiasm.
Maj. Picker is reported to be actively
in the race and is a campaigner who
cannot be despised.
Kirk G. Philips Is unquestionably
the strongest man from the Black Hills
section and can come nearer to uniting
the HILLS vote than any other man who
could be put up for a state office. His
name has been mentioned in connec-
tion with the Govenorship, but the Ca
zette's information is that if he comes
before the state convention it VIII be as
candidate for Congress. His superb
management of the states finances dn-
ring his administration of the treasury
will make him formidable candidate
before the people.
Mr G. I'll. Burke. of Pierre, who has
been republican leader in two ses-
sions of the state legislature, is a
Young man Of fine ability and his
Hughes county constituents are back
ing him with the loyal enthusiasm which
has always characterized them in po-
lltical campaign for the preferment of
a favorite son.
Maj, Dollard, the war horse of Bon
Homme, has never failed of the loyal
support of his home people when he
would accept 1t, and it is reported that
The is actively a candidate for the Con-
gressional nomination.

r., who has recently removed from HUI.

1t is now the imperative duty
Eof the republican party, if it ex.
Epects to hold its prestige, to get
latter the trusts and combines and
compel them to cease their rob-
Ebery of the people. This ques-
tion is tile most important before
the people at this time, for the
reason that it affects a greater
lportion OF the people. There are
|said to be III trusts in the
Irountry.
