THE Northern Pacific has posted a re-
ward of 81, 500 for the arrest and capture
Of the dynamiters. The state of Montana
has posted another reward of 5000. and
Polk county, Montana, has offered anotheri
$500, making a total reward now OF IS, 500:

tectve on the company's staff is working
on the case. The gang Is known to have a.
ton Of dynamite, stolen from the ware
house In Livingston a week ago.

More Disturbance 10 Feared in the 500
Country.
Sault Ste. Marie, Oct. There have
been no further disturbances since last
evening in the Canadian 500. but the
situation has some elements which do
not promise G. long continuance Of the
present peaceful conditions.
Every saloon in town is wide open,
and most Of them in the laboring
mems districts are being patronized
heavily by e horde of idle men who
composed yesterdays mob. Fifteen
hundred instead of 400, as reported last
night, are at Wier's numbering camp,
twelve miles up the Algomar Central
road, and it Is this body of men the
railroad has refused to transport to the
Soc under the present troubled condi-
tions. OF this numbe seventy-five
walked in yesterday, reaching the 500
about midnight, and the rest of them
are walking down today. This big &C
cession to the ranks of the unemployed
Is looked upon as sure to cause trouble
unless the authorities show more vigor
in dealing with the situation than they
did yesterday. Another troublesome
feature is the delay in getting addition
al troops here. The ~grenadiers from
Toronto cannot reach here before late
this afternoon.
Toronto, Sept. 29.-Three hundred
men, three officers and sixteen horses
of the local militia left early today for
Ste. Marie.

machin Nicely Runs tho
Colorado Republican Convention.
Denver, Oct. Former United States
Senator Edward o. Wolcott won a de-
cisive victory today In the contest before
the republican state central committee
between the rival factions in this city. and
afterward In the state convention. The
committee. by a vote of II to IS, placed
the Wolcott delegates on the temporary
roll call OF the convention and the conyen-
ton by a Unanimous vote made the tenn
porary roll call permanent. No opportu-
nifty was given the anti-Wolcott deleSa-
ton to make a contest before the conven-
ton. Mr.. Wolcott was chosen temporary
chairman without opposition and in q
carefully prepared speech he criticised
his opponents in the party and pleaded for
harmony.
A strongly worded resolution indorslng
President Roosevelt for reelection was
unanimously adopted without reference
TO the committee on resolutions.
Only one office. that of the justice of the
upreme court, Is to be filled this year,
and to this John Campbell was honored
with denomination by reclamation.
The convention adjourned after adopting
a platform, which is In part as follows:
cannot meet without sending our
greeting to Theodore Roosevelt, president
Of the United States, and we approve with
pride his splendid administration, his high
and patriotic PURPOSES, and renew here
our devotion to the principles he repre-
sents and which he has so periodically ex-
emplifed in the splendid administration
which he has given to the whole country,
and we particularly approve and COM
mend his devotion to law and order. the
effort he has made to bring all persons,
rich and poor alike, in obedience to 1t.
and within its protection and power"
The remainder Of the platform is deyot-

the recent charter election in Denver. re-

lation Of election laws by the democratic
party In the city Of Deliver, the fragrant

WIG FOR THE BATHING GIRL.

Philadelphia Press: The summer girl is
battling with an important query: Shall

r1nglet wig. Is she pulls a soft tuft of

tresses she is usually transformed into a

Besides the loss of good looks, salt wa

WEATHER..
The Past Week Has Boon Favorable
for DRYING Grain,

Huron, S. D., Oct. 2.-The weather
during the week was dry, with cool
nights, but mostly warm days, and
there was considerable wind.
There was some light frost, but no
damage resulted therefrom.
The conditions were favorable for
drying grain in shock and stack, ma
turing corn, haying, thrashing and corn
and fax cutting.
Thrashing, which is still backward,
made fairly good progress, especially
from shock. Considerable grain, most
ly wheat and oats, yet remains in
shock in the northeastern counties,
and generally some grain in stack Is
still damp from previous rains.
Late hay and grass pastures show
more injury from the frost than was
expected.
Haying Is still in progress, and the
will, on the whole, be ample. This
work Is nearing completion.
Potatoes are being harvested rapidly,
but the yield is below expectations, due
to rot.
Flax cutting is not yet finished in
the northeastern counties, where, also,
frost of the 10th badly damaged some
OF the latest; where thrashing has been
done the Yields have been satisfactory.
Fall blowing Is well along and adj
yancing nicely, and some winter rye
