A UNION STATE TICKET.

The state conventions Of the
Populis1, Democratic and Silver
Republican parties are called to
meet at Aberdeen on une p, and
while the details have not all yet
been arranged, it is generally I'M
derstood that a union state ticket
on which all three of the reform
parties will be daily represented
will be the result of those conven-
tons, thus centralizing the entire
silver vote and insuring the defeat
Of any ticket which the republicans
may later put up.
Unity and cooperation must be
the slogan from now until the polls
close next November, sounding
the knell of disapproval to repub-
lican1methods in South Dakota.
A clean and competent ticket,
made up of tried and capable men,
backed by perfect cooperation
will insure the desired result. To
accomplish this it will be absolute
ly necessary that all delegates to
county and state conventions be
men who have stood the test with
out hinching in this battle for re-
form. No doubtful or two-faced
apostle must be allowed on any
delegation anywhere under any cir
cumstances. Cut them off, purge
the party of them now and class
them with the enemies of reform
where they belong. We do not
need them, and we are better off
without them.
Taken from republican control
two years ago South Dakota was
found with a wrecked credit and
an empty treasury, made SO by
ring of republican plunderers who
had fatted themselves at the ex-
pense of the people ever since the
old territorial days. To-day the
states credit is gilt-edge and its
financial condition will bear favor
able comparison with that of any
state in the west. These facts are
simply matters Of state history.
The people OF South Dakota
have confidence in the party that
has thus rescued the state from ex-
travagant and INSCRIPTIONS plum
derers. Now nothing should be
done to shatter that confidence.
Let the the ticket to be named at
Aberdeen next mont; be clean and
capable, tried and true. Support
it with perfect cooperation all
along the line, and it will be tri-
umphantly elected. The only
hope of South Dakota republican,
ism lies in failure of all silver
men to cooperate. That hope is
doomed to be dashed to pieces on
the political rocks at Aberdeen
next month.
We will cooperate.
We Will win
STAND TOGETHER.

The Fourth passed off here with about
the average amount of noise In most
parts of the village there was more than
the usual amount of noise at once after
midnight, and the bells were used to assist
in it. An immense bonfire in the square
was kept up all night and smouldered dur
ing the day, During the night some of
the young fellows forgot the limit where
the show of patriotism ended and rowdyism
and destruction of property began, large
number of flower gardens and lawn decora-
tions being badly damaged in various parts
lage old residents claimed more noise was
made than ever before, and in a small por
ton of the village it was'claimed there was
much less than usual.
None of the mills ran during the day,
and no whistles were blown from Saturday
night until Monday night, calling for work
men. The stores of all kinds and the mar
kets were closed all day. The square pre-
sented a Sunday appearance the most of
the day except for the occasional fire
cracker. A large number took advantage
of the day to take the ride over the electric
road to Springfield, the company making a
special round trip ticket and advertising it
it generously. A part of the crowd went
to the celebration at Cavendish, and some
to the Lake Walden excursion. Locally
there was hardly anything to interest ex-
cept the gun club shoot.

The Safe Blowers Reiterated.

Burglars entered the postofiice at Jericho
Corners recently, but were driven away
before they succeeded in breaking into the
safe. They secured about $50 and some
stamps. They broke into the railroad tool
house and took a bar with which they pried
open the front door of the store and help
ed themselves to the money in the cash
drawer, some postage stamps and a few
pipes and pocket knives from a show case.
A hole was drilled in the safe above the
lock and a dynamite cartridge discharged,
which failed to open the safe. William
Bradford, who lives in the adjoining build
ing, hearing some noise in the store, was
about to investigate when the charge in
the safe was fired. He came out in the
street and gave the alarm and the burglars
fled. A pipe and a few dynamite cart
ridges were found in the road to the depot.
+. Is. Williams, the postmaster also holds
the Office of town treasurer, and there
were several hundred dollars in the safe.
When the neighbor heard the explosion he
hurried out with his gun and two men ran
from the postoilce to team near by and,
jumping into a wagon, drove away with
third, who evidently had charge of the
horse.

Canal.

sundays Big Blast In the Bed of the
Canal.
The large blast in the bed of the canal
near the north end was discharged at
about S;l5 Sunday morning and it was an
entire success in every way. Ten holes,
each 10 feet deep had been drilled during
the past two weeks. \ competent diver
came from Boston and worked Saturday,
charging the holes with dynamite and they
were all discharged simultaneously by the
aid of electricity. The surface of the
water had been covered with logs, lumber
and canvass to keep the stones from flying.
A great body of water was thrown up,
portion going clear over the barn of ii. G.
johnson and into the road on the other side.
Only one small stone was thrown out of
the water and that did no damage. a num-
Der of people were there with cameras to
get pictures of the explosion and were sue
cessful. Many tons of stone were broken
off the bed rock, and many of them were so
large they could not be moved until the
diver had put sticks of dynamite under
them and broken them again
Work was carried on all day by large
gang of men raising the stones with der
rick to the bank on each side The diver
hitched the chains around them in the
water and drew them out. The work is
under the charge of Superintendent L. j.
Royce of the Canal company.
The diver will be kept here two or three
weeks to aid the work. Six holes, each
| II feet deep have been drilled in the rock
| which projects into the water Just above
the Boston x Maine bridge and more are to
be drilled. Those will probably be dis
charged next Sunday as the water is
stationery when the mill is not running
| The men took advantage of the Fourth to
do work in removing stones that could not
be gotten at readily if the water was being
drawn by the mills.
The explosion of last Sunday was not a
loud one, owing to the body of water above
it, but the solid foundations of the village
were severely shaken, at once convincing
the citizens something more heavy than
logs or Fourth July cannon had been
discharged. The work is a deeply interest
ing one to large crowds of people VIII o line

DR.. Kirkland was summoned from here,
and asked that he be removed to his home
at once, which was done. An examination
did not disclose any broken bones, but in
ternal injuries are feared, and the shock
from the fall was bad one. The doctor
thinks the man was overcome by the heat
and that it was the cause of the fall, as he
was working in an exposed place, and symp
toms after the fall indicated a disturbance
of that nature. Mr. Teachout and his wife
live with his father in one Of the houses

The Gun Club Shoot.



The first tournament of the Bellows
Falls Gun club which occurred Monday,
was success, even greater than anticipat-

charge \ better day could not have been
had. The light was good and, although
in the morning hours the heat was some
what oppressive, the afternoon was more
comfortable and the day was enioyed by
the participants to its fullest extent.
BY the early morning trains. and by
teams, and few by bicycles the men came
from all directions and by the time set for
the first event there was a large number of
of the club, and the numbers kept up all
through the day. At times there were 2j0
men, women and children crowding the
range and the piazzas of the club house
E K. Ball had charge of the refreshments
OF ice cream, pop corn, etc, using a large
tent for the purpose. Cnderhill Brothers
have recently erected a booth near by for
cold drinks and lunches, so the inner man
was well looked after and the hot day made
very bearable
The shooting began at about 10 o'clock,
and close interest was manifested in the re-
suits of the contests for the prizes the
whole number not being completed until it
was considerably dark
Twenty-Five or 80 marksmen from other
places took part in the different contests,
and considerably more than that number of
local men took part; $500 shots were fired
during the day. Following are the prizes
winners and scores:
