ACQUITTED OF MURDER.
George Northam, a Detective, Proveo
He Shot in Self Defense.

" NV ~ SCib GCICISCs
Lead, S. D., March 5.-After being
on trial a week for the murder of
George Tallman, George Northam, a
detective for the Homestake Mining
company, has been acquitted. 1t took
the jury less thar half an hour to ar
rive at a verdict.
Tallman had the reputation of a
fighting man, who was very severe in
a personal encounter. 1t was shown
by the evidence that he had been the
aggressor in the difficulty by striking
Northam a blow in the face, in the
Oak saloon at Lead. Northam had
been accosted by Tallman, who inn
mediately began abusing him. Nor
than vas striving to pacify Tallman
at the time the blow was struck. With
GU an instant's hesitation Northam
drew his revolver and fired, the ball
passing through Tallman's abdomen.
There has been evident a great di-
versity of opinion among the people of
Deadwood and Lea as to the killing.

there has been no material reduction
in the number of polygamists since
1896,
MIR. Worthington conducted the eN-
animation of Smith to ascertain the
process undergone in cases OF eXcom-

lie declared that when Snoot became
an apostle the status of most polyg-
amists had been fixed many years be-
fore. Smith had never advised tor or
against the continuance of poiyganouS

In relation to convictions, Smith said
there had been none since the manifesto
of 1890; that all convictions under the
Edmunds law We're while Utah was "a
territory. The list of the first judges
elected since Utah was u state showed
that the former territorial judges were
chosen without exception. and tnai IN
of them had formerly sent Mormons to

The purpose OF this was to deny the in

mates the courts.

treating native women and perpetrating

soldiers attacked a body of the invaders

the prevailing opinion in military cir
cles continues to be that the bonn
bardment of NladiYostok Sunday was
for the purpose of locating the guns OF
the Russian batteries and ascertaining
whether the Russian squadron was in
port, some shrewd observers believe 1t
indicates a move by Ian and sea
against the city. The Novoe Nremya
advances the theory that bombardment
was ordered for political effect on the
Japanese diet. The Japanese fleet has
not been sighted from Port Arthur for
over a week and probably is trying to
lure the Russians outside.

A GREAT MISTAKE.

Keosauqua Republican. =. Governor
Cummins certainly was verv indiscreet
to say the least, when he gave vent to
his peculiarly personal reciprocity free
trade ideas in his inaugural address
to the Legislature. Governor Cummins
ought to know that the people of Iowa
and of other states, especially the
farmers. don't want free trade, (Which
reciprocity really means,) with Canada
on horses. eggs. etc. The cheap horse
calamity of only few years ago is
yet fresh in the minds of the citizens
of Iowa. Governor Cumming ought
to also know that there is going to
be no free tradism in the platform of
the coming republican national con-
vention. The people are satisfied with
present conditions and don't care to risk
ventures that can only result in unset :
tling sound business relations. But per-
haps Governor Cumn1ins is simply
oourting notoriety. But that would be a
weakness that could only result in
making his friends ashamed of him
Many are the citizens in every coun-
ty in Iowa who had much better
opinion of Governor Cummins' politi-
cal wisdom than they have since he
made his late Canadian free trade ut
terance. The governor has made q a
great mistake.

war-orders From japan.

From inquiries coming into the mar
ket it seems likely that the war re-
quirements of Japan will take extended
shape and cover a variety of merchan-
disc The purchases of strictly dry
goods have been so far confined to
heavy cotton goods, mostly ducks and
khaki cloth, but knit goods are being
inquired after. One recent transaction
with dry goods house covered 6OO 900
dozen drawers suspenders for use in
the Japanese army and navy. Each
eaten bears the Japanese flag on its
face. It is also reported that a con-
tract has been closed for the supply
of about 100000 dozen leather belts for
the use of the Japanese soIdiers.-Dun' S
