LIGHTNING RODS FOR lows.

How South Dakota eFarmers Keep
Bossy From Being Killed.
Sioux Falls, s. D., July 10.-A good
plan is being adopted by a number Of
farmers in the state for the protection
Of their stock against lightning. A
ground wire is placed every fifteen
rods along the pasture fences. The
wires are run into the ground about
three or four feet, connected with all
the fence wires, and stapled to the
posts. Where this plan has been fol-
lowed only a few animals have been
killed, while in pastures which are not
thus protected Individual farmers
have this summer lost considerable
stock by lightning.

over the terms Of settlement, and
since that time the dissatisfaction has
grown daily. Charges were made that
the company had failed to keep the
agreement Of July 2 and a dozen or
more instances were cited tending to
prove that there had been a breach of
faith.

CROW INDIANS HAVE A DANCE.

TWO Thousand Gather in War Paint

Tribal Custom.
Billings, Mont, July 1O.-For two or
three days past Crow Indians to the
number Of 1000 have been dancing at
Pryor Gap. They prepared a large
covered bower, where they congregated
Tor the dance. Nearly 100 white peo.
pie went out on the Fourth to witness
the dancing. The Indians were painted
and dressed as in their former war
times. The Pryor Indians gave away
nearly $4,000 worth Of horses, wagons,
blankets and everything imaginable to
their brother redskins from the Big
Horn and Little Big Horn rivers. The
dance will probably continue for e
eral days or until the Indian police 60
there and order them to desist.

Lincoln. July 11.-Plans for the Dem
ocratic national campaign of 1900 were
outlined and practically agreed upon
yesterday at a prOtracted conference
between the leaders of the party. The
plan includes the appointment OF q
campaign committee as agreed upon
between the representatives of the
Democratic, Silver Republican and
Populist parties at Kansas City. This
committee will include members of all
three parties, and perhaps also Demo-
Gratis not members of the national COM
mittee but who are prominent In the
COUNCILS of the party. This committee
will, it is said, have charge in q meas
ure Of the practical working of the
campaign and will

with one or two exceptions, be the
same as four years-ago. The personnel
Of all the. committees was left in the
hands of Chairman Jones. The ques-
ton of national headquarters was also
left in his hands. 1t was stated that
Chicago would probably be selected.
MI. Bryan said yesterday that he had
made no plans as to the part he would
take in the campaign and would not
do so until he had conferred further
with the party leaders. The subject

that the whole question has been post
poned until after the middle-of-the-
road state Populist convention to be
held at Grand Island, Neb., July 20.
The attitude taken by that wing Of the
Poprlists and the strength developed
by them will, it is said, be closely OBJ

states, and should no serious detection
from the regular Populists on account

Washington, July 8.-Secretary Root
is preparing a bill for the ~reorganiza-
ton of the regular army even more
radical in it's nature than the n sub
mitted at the last session Of congress.
In order to obviate all %antagonism
from members of the staff of the reg
ular service Secretary Root has sent cir
cu]ars to all chiefs of bureaus calling
for their opinions relative to the reor-
%ganization Of staff as applied to their
individual departments. An official IN
close touch with the secretary says 1t
is the intention of the department to
ask for a standing army Of not less
than $4,000 men. An army Of this size,
it is estimated, will be needed to sue
cessfully cope, with the situation IN
the Philippines.

Entertained for the Safety Of the
Legations.
Washington, July 10. : A slightly
more hopeful feeling for the safety Of
the legationers in Peking is apparent
in official circles. The hope is not
founded on any official dispatches
which have reached the state depart
ment, as nothing was received during
the day from the consular representa-
tives Of the United States ins China.
The cumulative statements, however,
which are daily printed from various
portions Of the empire reporting the
diplomatic corps, with the exception Of
the German minister, as safe up to
within certain specified time. together
with the absence Of any corroborative
proof Of their murder, is practically re-
(ponsible for the slight hope which pre-
flils that they, the ministers, are yet
alive. The statements purporting to
I3ne from Sir Robert Hart, the En-
kifsh Chinese inspector of customs, are
regarded as the best information which
