POLITICS DULL IN new YORK
Campaign Creates Little Interest and
Bryan Sentiment IL n Minus
Quantity.


New York people are not talking much
politics. said DR.. George L. Miller, who,
with Mrs.Mill er, returned Thursday morn
ing from Utica and other cities in that sec
ton of the state.
Utica is my old home and 1t is
the home of Congressman Sherman, re-
PUBLICAN nominee for vice president, and
l want to tell you that Sherman is a strong
man IN his home city ana state" added the
doctor. People are not generally talking
politics and 7 believe 1t is because they
consider the campaign one-sided. They
seem to feel that Mr.. Bryan is not even in
the race. l made diligent inquiry among
men who are in touch with politics and
with the people and l could not discover
any Bryan sentiment.
I'm the west we have heard much ak
of labor going overwhelmingly for Bryan.
In New York state 1 was advised that la
Dor will divide its vote, giving the larger
share to Taft"
DIR. and Mrs. Miller had an enjoyable
visit and return home in the best Of health.

the wiles of two clever confidence men at

until noon, and needing some money i'm
mediately he was in a quandry as to how
to obtain it. With true southern gallantry
SCHNEIDER offered to loan them SO, but de-
c.ined to take the draft for security. They
insisted, however, and told SCHNEIDER to
watch their suit cases, in one Of which they
said was n large amount of gold.

NEW YORK MURDER MYSTERY
Body of Unidentified Pretty Young
Woman Found In Tool Shed In
rVinH Park,

NEW YORK. July 23.-Another murder
mystery has beer added to the long list
Of unsolved cases that are now battling
the police Of New York and vicinity. Early
yesterday the body OF a young woman
was found in a tool shed in Irving park,
Williamsburg. She was shot through the
breast and had been killed almost in
stantly. Although a policeman heard the
shot ard ran to the scene he was too late
to catch sight of the murderer.
This latest murder is far more puzzling
than the Drew of Eberhard cases. for not
even the identity of the victim is known.
1t is believed that the murdered woman
lived near the scene of the crime, but
there is no positive information on this
point.
That she was either lured to the tool
house or went there to keep a ~clandestine
engagement with a man seems certain. She
was trinity dressed, but wore no hat and
carried a dainty parasol.

wheat Harvest Near Mitchell.

MITCHELL. S. D., July 2s-(specisl)-
This week starts the harvest movement in
this county, with the binders first going
INTO the barley and oat fields, both OF
which are ready. The oat crop is very
good indeed in all places where the rains Of
May and June were not too heavy, hut II
Is figured that where the water has not
drowned out the grain that the crop over
the county will be heavier ana the average
will not fan off. There has been little or
no rust appearing on the grain as yet and
no difficulty is s~pprehended from this
source, Wheat will be ready for the binder
by the first OF next week, and It is re-
ported to be in the very best condition.
The corn crop is making splendid headway
In all parts Of the county, ana with favor

CALL OF MEETING IS IGNORED

Policemen were called upon Thursday
morning to go out into the highways and
byways and compel city councilmen TO at
tend a special meeting. The special meet
ing of the council was called for Wednes-
day morning for the purpose OF listening
to condemnation proceedings against a
number of dilapidated buildings. Only six
members appeared and the meeting was ad'
journed for a day.
Thursday morning sever councilmen
answered the roll call. Eight are necessary
for a quorum and Chief Donahue was re-
quested to send out a policeman and nan
another councilman wherever found and
take him to the meeting, After the re-
quest was made Councilman Funkhouser
arrived, and in a short time the policeman
came in with Elsasser.
Fifteen buildings were condemned by the
council as being in a dilapidated and un-
safe condition. Those condemned are build
ings at 7Ol-S-5-7-9-11 Pacific street, 1912 Cum
ing street, 891i-16 L~eavenworth street
1G13-l5-l7 Chicago street, 1921 Cunning street
200 South T~wenty-ninth street, Sl3 North
Seventeenth street.
Some remarks calculated to arouse
laughter were made by the derelict council
men, but some of the interested taxpayers
who happened to be at the council chamber
placed a different construction upon the at
titude of the city's servants. One MAJ
seemed to voice the sentiments Of all when
he said:
1T is high time that these councilmen
were learning that they are paid by the
city to attend to the city's business, and
whenever the city has business to be trans
acted and they are notified It is their duty
to transact that business. The idea of city
councilmen having to be forced by the po-
lice department to go to the city hall and
look after the interests they are paid to
look after may strike some OF them as
funny, but l imagine 1t doesn't strike many
Of their constituents that way. It's dis
gushing to me-"
