MIR. KNOULES REPLIES.

THE Union is in receipt oe a letter from Freeman Knowles
OF Deadwood, in answer to an article we printed recently
regarding the Hentlcmans political views.
Along with his letter he sent his pamphlet the Social
Paradox" the sociaHstic pamphlet which the Whitewood
Plaindeller was 50 taken With.
Mr.. Knowles asks us to read his statements and then see if
W. are prepared to call them "anarchistc. His wishes will be
gratlhed as soon as opportunity permits. At present we are
contending with a republican brand of prosperity which keeps
hive men and two presses moving at an alarming rate of speed
and our time is very much occupied.
RAPID CITY is at present afflicted with an unusual disease.
It's a mad passion for bowling that has struck straight at the
heart or our social body. Merchants neglect their desks.
clerks desert their counters and spend their time at the seduc-
tive though costly sport of bombarding the innocent pins.
Joking aside it is getting to be a nuisance and in one case we
know OF 1T coming near breaking up one more or less happy
home. The husband neglected his wife and his work and
spent a large portion of his stipend at the GALLEY" Here is a
held tor our ladies' clubs. Instead of preparing long ana labor
ious papers on foreign lands why not turn their guns upon the
evils OF bowling in al ailey-that is, of course, we
mean a bowling alley.
THIS talk of having Elihu Root and former Gov. Hogg, OF
Texas, as presidential candidates should be stopped at once
Think OF having a Root-Hogg contest.

days issue, that he will be a candi-
date for councilman from the new
Sixth ward. Mr.. Greene has about
completed his first term as councilman

pose his election. yet he has consid-
cradle following in the new ward which

A guarantee of 1000 tickets at 5.

it possible to sell the tickets and We're
more than eager TO do their share, but
they refused to undertake the sale Of
the whole amount. They explained that
they were backed by a membership OF
400 enthusiastic women, but that they
would not sell tickets outside of their

Neither DR.. Pye nor / spoke of any
other Foxes than Margaret and Katie
Fox the original Fox girl mediums,
whom DIR. Pye said renowned Spirit
ualfsm and became members of the
Methodist church-those same girls
who held the noted seance in Chicken
ing Hall. New York
Margaret Fox married DR.. Kane, the
Arctic explorer. Kate married Mr..
Jencken, of England. Neither OF their
names was ever either Marie or Smith.
Neither of these girls either lived or died
in the Methodist church. Brother Pye.
who knows what he was talking
about was mistaken. that is all.
Thus these reverend gentlemen, in
their haste to catch Foxes, have cor
rallied the wrong Fox, that Is all. Those
who wish to know the whole truth
about the religion and death of these
two women are requested to write to
Titus Merritt, of Yonkers, N. Y. He
was the man who cared for them in
their last days. and gave them decent
burial. at his own expense. and expense
of liberal Spiritualists who volunteered
to help him. He has either erected a
for them, or is collecting
not of the Methodists, but of
the Spiritualists, for that purpose.

CHASING the WRONG Fox,

Rev. Moses Hull in reply to the ref
erence of Rev. Theron b. Green, of
Syracuse. N. Y, concerning the Fox
girls and the statement that they died
Methodists and not SpirituaEsts, offers
the following to show that Rev. Pye
and Rev. Greene are Chasing the
wrong fox" Rev. Hull says:
Editor Tirnes-Republican Dear Sir:
/ once heard of Mr. Jones who was
in the habit of beating his wife. At
last certain parties from little dis
lance concluded they would endure it
no longer: they would go and give
Jones a terrible horse whipping. Ac-
cordingly they went to his house and
took a man out and belabored him
thoroughly with horsewhips. The more
they whipped the more heartily the man
laughed. At last they stopped their
whipping long enough to inquire what
1t was that excited his mirthfulness to
such an extent. He answered 1 am
laughing at the good joke l have got
on you; you are whipping the wrong
man. I ann not Jones and have no wife
and never whipped a woman in my
life
1T seems that Rev. Nathaniel Pye
of this city, and Rev. Theron B. Green.
of Syracuse, N. Y, have fairly caught
me- they have proved either that
falslfied, or ]. did not know what was
talking about when / said that Margar-
ct ana Katie Fox We're s'piritualists
when they passed out of this world.
Rev. Mr.. Green In your last Saturdays
issue, testifies that the late Mrs. Marie
Fox Smith was. at the time of her
death, and for many years, had been
worthy member Of the Methodist Epis-
copal church, in East Palmyra, N. Y.
Probably. said nothing about Mrs.
Marie Fox-Smith. I knew nothing of
her--in tact, never before heard Of her.
