miitees had fine program on paper,
but as it was not waterproof, it
stayed under shelter. Last week
over four inches of rain fell, extend

Northern Nebraska-it being the
first rain for a number Of weeks.
The wheat and oats that were sown

1t will take number Of good show

There will be held at Deadwood
4 Quarto- Centennial Carnival, July
3rd, 4th, 5th and 9th, to celebrate
that memorial year of 10, when
thousands of people rushed into the
Black Hills in search Of the yellow
metal, in spite of the U. S. troops
and the savage Sioux Indians-the
latter being on the war path at that
time, brought on by the intrusion of
gold seekers previous 10 that year.
Many hundred men, women and
children who started for the Black
Hills in 10 over the blood stained
trails of previous years, were muir
dered by the merciless Sioux. There
will be on exhibition various scenes
of the adventurous pioneer, includ-
ing a Sioux Indian raid. Also va
rious products of the Hills. 1t will
be one of the greatest and grandest
celebrations the Black Hills ever
witnessed. Reduced rates on all
railroads has been secured.

HARMAN, w. VA. May 20, OIL
Catcrpillars have literally taken
the country here and the town of
Hartman is entirely surrounded.
Every bush and tree is alive with
them and the people are in guam
Diary as to what to do.
The plaques of the Pharoah are
scarcely comparison to the one
the people here are undergoing at
the present time. They go IN
great droves, millions upon millions
together, entering houses, barns,
stores, blacksmith shops and every
place.
They have accumulated in such
numbers on the railroad track that
trains are-suspended and men are
at work day and night clearing the
track.
The fruit trees are entirely de-
stroyed.
DIR. Montony has conceived a
plan to get them started or tolled
over to his farm to dcadcn timber
this summer. The DR.. has an eve
to busiaess and knows GOOD thing
when he sees it.
They attack sheep and cattle and
eat them alive.
Jacob Harmon lost four hundred
head of fine sheep last week all kill
ed by ceterpillars.
The origin of so many is not
known, but it is supposed that there
is den in the mountain near here
where they have been hatched and
the warm days have brought them
out
They seem to be Of Presbyterian
persuasion for none Of them ever

They have eaten up three hundred
panels Of fence for Daniel Cooper
and four hundred tons Of hay for
Abel Nelson.
The County Court will meet TO.
morrow to take step, to abate their

Evidence is piling up rapidly a
gainst the anti-canteen law passed
by the last Congress and big
effort will be made next Congress
to have it repealed. Up at St. Paul
last week by a unanimous vote the
association Of military surgeons in
session passed a resolution in favor
of the repeal Of the anti.canlcen
law. The resolution recitcs THAT
the abolition Of the army post ex-
change or canteen has resulted and
must inevitably result in an in-
crease Of incompetence, insubordin-
alton, discomfort dcscrtion and
disease in the army" deplores the
abolishing Of the "said post ex-
change or canteen, and 10 the in
tcrests of sanitation, morality and
discipline recommends its rc.cstab-
lishment at The earliest possible
date"
These men know what they arc
talking about and have mo- interest
in The matter whatever except the
good Of the army. OF course it is
a serious set back TO the Prohibi-
douisls, W. G.. T.. u. and GOOD
temperance folks generally who mean
well and do lots Of good but arc
very often theoretical and imprac.

And now comes the news Of
another fierce battle in South Africa
in which the British lose four Off
GERS and ia men and a lot of sup

hight took place at Vladfontein be-

under Gen. Delarey, on May a.,
Just one year after Gen. Roberts
reported Pretoria captured, Kruger
fugitive and the war over. AT
that time the war had cost the
English $3.50, 900, 600 and 10000

total is $4,000, 900 and $500

SOUTH CAROLINA SENATOR'S.

The Senatorial fight down in South
Carolina is going 10 be the warmest
contest that ever broke out in that
State over political principles out
side of red-hot rebellion and it is
more than likely that it will result
in blooshed before it is over. Both
United States Senators have mailed
their designations TO the Governor
to take effect September IS.
The designations are the result Of
q split between the followers of Sen
ator Tillman and those Of Senator
McLaurin. Tillman- charged that
McLaurin deserted the Democracy
and should resign an office to which
that party had exalted him.
McLaurin agreed to tender his
resignation if Tillman would do
likewise, and 90 before the people
Of the State, present their arguments
and leave it TO their constituents 10
pass judgement. Tillman accepted
the challenge and the designations
were drawn up as follows and mail
ed to the Governor

To His Excellency, NJ. u. Nc
Sweeney, Columbia, S. c.: Sir
We hereby tender our designations
as Senators for the State of South
Carolina, in the United States Sen.
ate to take effect on September IS
next. Yours respectfully,
(Signed)
BENJAMIN Il. TLLMAN.
JoHN l.. MCLAURIN.
Tillman's Democracy is based on
Organism, as laid down in the Kan
sas City platform. McLaurin re.
pudiates Organism and represents
the commercial Democracy of the
South.
Iillman still advocates the free
coinage Of silver. McLaurin is
gold Democrat.
Iillman opposed the ratification
OF the Paris peace treaty. McLaurin
cast the deciding vote ratifying the
treaty.
Tillman is opposed to expansion
McLaurin favors it as being in the
interest of the Southern cotton
planters.
llllman opposed the Porto Rican
civil government and tariff bill.
McLanrin voted with Republicans
in favor Of it.
Iillman opposed tie increase of
the regular army. McLaurin voted
with Republicans in favor Of in.
crease.
iiliman opposed the ship subsidy
bill. McLaurin favored it.
llllman opposed the ratification
OF the Hay-Pauncefote treaty. Nc
Laurin favored it.
Tillman had just been reelected
for another term of six years and
McLaurin had two years vet TO
serve, so that the latter is not risk
ing near as much as the former.
There are already eight other candi-
dates in the field and it will be
free for all fight and devil take the
hindmost. 1t is understood that
the fight between Tillman and Nc
Laurin is for the full term Senator
ship and whichever one gets beaten
IS knocked out entirely and the
other candidates fight over the short
term. The Republican administra-
ton is backing up McLaurin. and
aiding him in the fight
The Governor has declined to
accept the designations and writes
a letter to that effect, but Tillman
insists on resigning and that the
Governor has no right to refuse
to accept their designations and
refuses to withdraw his unless Nc
Laurin backs out and acknowledges
that he is unwilling to go before the
people to test the position Of their
Senators as to which is right and
which wrong.

OUR NEW YORK LETTER.
Melancholy Days Gone By Rapid Tram
SIT TrOubleS-Trunks And STYLE Tins.


The term "merry May" was
mostly a misnomer, this year, as
She persistenily turned toward us a
shoulder that was cold, wet and gen
orally unfriendly. Let us hope that
June will be her joyous, smiling self
to make up for her wifful predeces-
sor's deficiencies.
Some OF the prettiest parts of the
city are in the ihroes of rapid tran
sit operations, and the situation is
all the more tense because of strikes
and storms galore. Meanwhile, we
must "watch in wrathful patience,
"a la Kipling) for the long talked
of time when we can make the run
from Battery to Bridge in fifteen
minu ties.
Many fashions Of recent prestige
are revived in even greater elabora-
ton than formerally. Ornamental
ton in every conceivable line, runs
riot UP-to-date dress skirts hang
upon silk foundations, and lace in
crustaiions are as usual as tucks or
shirrings. Tie work involved in
getting up a modish gown requires
twice as many hands as formerly.
This Is one OF several pertinent and
pressing reasons why Lord and Tay-
Tor have recently found it necessary
to vastly enlarge their already extern
siye dressmaking departments in
both Of their wofld-famous New
York establishments. By the way,
one OF the daintiest Summer gowns
they have put out lately, is of EN-.
broidered white muslin, with needle
worked hounce adjusted to the
skirt by lace vandykes.
Many charming frocks are appli-
qued with cretonne flowers. The
colors are varied and beautiful.
The floral hat is a pretty fashion.
The crown is composed of leaves,
the brim of flowers.
Hyacinth- blue rivals turquoise
this summer.
No woman can appear or feel
well dressed unless her corset fits
accurately and comfortably. That
is the reason why ladies show such
unbounded and continuous favor to
the beautiful r. & G.. corset which
holds the right of way most royalty.
Some very chic hats show a dou-
ble-brim effect that is very fetching.
Flowers of the daintiest coloring
and kind fill IN the space between
brims.
1t is easy to keep ones clothes in
good shape at home, but heretofore,
travelling about with them was the
Grub" to their immaculateness
Now that we have trunk modelled
upon lines of common sense consid-
Grafton of the actual purport of
such an article, we can take our
wardrobes where we will, as easily
as a turtle takes his house with him.
Send postal card to the 'Innova-
ton" Trunk Co., aI3 Fifth Ave,
New York, for further information.
Batiste sailor collars and boleros
are edged with cretonne applique
trimming, with delightful effect
The passion for antique and Ori-
entail jewels still prevails. The most
popular pins are modelled after the
famous fibulas that the Romans en-
ployed to hold their togas together.
