One day Dom Paul had to travel from
Pretoria to Cape Town in company
composed in part of Germans, in part of
English, says London correspondent.
He said to his secretary:
Hoe yer is het van hier?''
An Englishman and German com
pleted each the sentence, according to his
vernacular, each thinking the President
had suddenly tried to speak German or
English, and had not quite but nearly
succeeded. The German said:
Herr President, you almost speak
German. VIE welt list es Won hier?''
The Englishman put in: ''How far is
it from here? Mr.. President, you speak
almost excellent English, but you must
avoid getting the American accent"

Over in Codington county the
populist, and democrats in con-
vention were about to nominate
a candidate for superintendent
of schools, when some objection
was made that the candidate was
not of sound mind, and the office
was left untitled until the board
of insanity should make report.
The party referred to in this
incident will be remem bered by
those who attended one of the G.
A. r. meetings held here last
month, when the gentleman was
introduced as son of a veteran
to make few remarks, but both
the militia and fire department
had to be called out before the
steady stream of eloquence could
be cut off aud a chance given to
the next speaker.

One of the entertaining things
of the campaign is to see how the
democratic leaders and demo
cratic papers are trying to get
away from the free silver issue,
but with Bryan as the candidate
they are fastened to the corpse
and are unable to free themselves
from it. It is a popularity of
democracy that every four years
it has a dead issue hanging to its
skirts.

The cheap excursion to Mime
apolis over the H. & d. road was
one of the events Of the week,
and attracted a large crowd.
Two sections of the train passed
through here: and another one
was made up at Montevideo.
The two cars which were taken
on the train at this place were
filed long before the train ar
rived aud some were unable to
obtain seats, and before theexcur-
sionists arrived at Minneapolis a
good standing place was at a
premium. Some 219 tickets
were sold at the station here. and
it is estimated that between
1000 and 5000 people we're taken
into Minneapolis on the several
lines Of the Milwaukee road.

Our local populists and Petit
grewites think that the strong
est issues they have to present
is to work up dissatis faction
aud opposition to the republican
organization. Already they have
raised the cry of ring" aud
and the men who take ali active
interest in republican success
will be singled out as the "ring,
and be subjected to all kinds Of
false insinuations and charges Of
corruption and wire-pullirg. It
will make little difference who
the men are, if they are ac-
lively engaged in behalf Of
the republican ticket, they
will be the "ring" With this
cry and with what support
they can secure from those dis
appointed in their political aspir
ations, it is hoped that a portion
of the republican ticket can be
defeated. It will be well for
repu blicans throughout the
county to be on their ganrd
against these tactics, which are
resorted to in order to sow dis
sensions aad distrust in their
ranks. The few disappointed
republican factionists who sup
port and encourage these things
will find how bad a mistake
they have made when the loyal
republicans get at them.

Considerable excitement was
occasioned on the street We'd
nesday morning between 10 and
II o'clock by the spectacle of
man running down the
street barefoot and in very
light suit of underwear, so
light in fact that a professional
sprinter would not have felt
numbered although not of the
regulation costume. The man
proved to be j. harrington, the
carpenter and contractor, who a
short time ago figured in a sim
liar heroic character with a boy
and a scythe playing a leading
part-though really Jack was in
the lead on both occasions. His
pursuer on this second heat was
John Stuart, who had gone down
to the carpenter shop to pur-
suade harrington to leave town,
or at least to leave off browsing
around on domestic pastures
that both legally and morally be-
longed to Stuart and not to Far
rington. The latter did not
seem to agree to the proposition
presented, whatever it may have
been, as a rough and tum BILE fight
ensued, in which Stuart received
a wound on the head seemingly
from one Of the carpenter tools,
but Notwithstanding followed his
opponent up to Main street,
where officers responded to the
appeals of Harrington for protec
tion, and the latter was escorted
to the dressing room and per
mit:ed to robe himself in a cos
tune more appropriate for a
street promenade, than that of
Of undershirt and drawers.
That the victim of the irate hus-
band S wrath was a badly fright
ened goat before he left the shop
there was full and complete evi-
dence which remained there after
he himself had departed.
A warrant was issued for Far
rington, and on being brought
before Justice Pasco on a charge
of assault and fighting he pleaded
guilty and was fined $50 and
costs amounting to some $l1, or
AZ days in Jail.
Judgment as above rendered
was suspended in the case with
the under standing that the
prisoner should at once leave the
city, never to return, and this
he promised to do, going that
night.

Glen Martins, one of the young
men of Big Stone City had a nar>
row escape from drowning enc
day last week. While bathing aud
diving from a boat anchored out
in the lake, the wind loosed the
boat from it's anchor, and it drift
ed away. He made an attempt to
swim to the shore, and fortunate
ly parties noticing his perdica-
ment started with a small boat
to meet him, and succeeded in
doing so just as he was becom-
ing exhausted. The prompt ac-
ton of the friends with the boat
undoubtedly saved the young
man from drowning.
Speaking of swimming, it
was on Saturday the last week of
the Chautauqua that a Milbank
boy, Earl Kelsey, swan from the
dock at Simpson park to the
peninsula on the Minnesota side,
gasoline launch following him
across to extend aid if necessary,
but he made the trip without
difficulty and without particular
exhaustion.

There was quite a little stir
in local demo-pop circles last
week when it was announced
that Senator Pettigrew, the Ii
Hung Shang of the fusion forces
of South Dakota, would enjoy a
Sabbath days rest within the
peaceful confines of Milbank S

conversation that the populist

they absorbed more history than
they ever before dreamed of, and
that they are now firmly convinc-
