He came to ahe door and ordered them uway, whereupon Lewis, who was standing near, interfered in behalf of the boys.

Republicans Having a Red Hot Time at Bismarck. JOHNSON WITHIN TWO VOTES. But a Fool Licut:nant Makes Some Very Unwise Remarks Which will Probanly Lose Him the Priza, A Lively Conte: Bismarcg, N. I, No gram to Tne Ber]—This forenoon’s re- publican caucus for the second United States senator was the most exciting since the opening of the session, and nll kinds ot threats and predictions'ars now being matie. On the fitst ballov it is -claimed by those keeping tally that Jounson received 42 votes, and as 41 is all that is needed to win the re- publican caucus nomination, there were & fow moments that in the minds of the crowds he was as good ns United States senator. There was a difference in the counts of the clorks and the roll was cailled for verifica- tion. During the calling of the roll several members changed their votes in favor of Johnson, but this was : oblected to on the ground that votes . could not be chanced during & roll call for verification, The chair ruled that the point was well taken. A motion to adjourn was then made and carried amid the wildest confusion, and the wvote, which is claimed to have given John- son tho republican caucus nomination, was not aunounced. 'fhe Johuson men were in a rage, but tho legislature proceeded to bal- lot formally in joint session. Johnson held his 42 votes for two votes, which lacked five of elelecting him in the legislature, as the thirteen democrats votes wero cast for the democratic caudidate, Naratta, The demo- crats now hold the balance of power. They can elect Johnson or they can dictate the man that is elected, provided Johnson does not develop more republican strength, How long they will have this power no one can tell. L. J. Casey of Jamestown 18 looked upon as a formidable candidate, and bis friends are of the opinion that unless Johnson 1s elected tonight he (Casey) will be the man, The ballot in the caucus was as follows: Johnson, 42; Ordway, 10; Casey, 10; Walsh, 9; McCumber. 4; Lamoure, 4; Plummer, 1; Marratta (dem), 13, The intimation was made after the ad- journment of the caucus that unless Johnson was given the nomination, now tbat he has amajority of the republican members, they would go to the democrats aud elect a:demo- cratic senator and create a little sensation, but it is not given serious cousideration av this time. In the senatorial fight to-night M. N. John- son, who received 42 votes this afternoon, and who came so near winning the republican caucus nomination, was gwven a disastrous drop, and there seems now to be no hope of his election. On the tirst ballot he reeeived 40 votes, the others running as follows: Ordway, 9; McCumber, 8; Casey. 13; Walst, 8; Maratta 18. ‘There was ho material change on the sec- ond ballot, but on the third he dropped to 32, During this ballot Robinson of Traill ereated @ sensation in explaining 0is vote. He said : “Up to the present time I have voted fautbfully for M. N. Johnson, but it has come to mo through unquestionable authority that one of Mr. Johnson’s lieutenants has been circulating the report that neiher my- self nor the other members from my district were voling for hauxthrough - choice, but be- cause we did nov daro to 4o owliorivise. I claim to be an_Ameriean citizen, with the ght to do as I please, and I now take great éasure in voting for Prof. Horner B. Sprague.” These remarks wero groeted with apolause. Johnson lost eizht votes on this ballot, the others receiving the following support: Ordway, 5; McCumber, 8; Casey, 12; Walsh, 3; Ailen, 4! Henry Lord. 4; Prof. Sprague, 9, and Maratta (dem.), 13, After a little sparring the joint session dissolved and will meet again at noon Mon- pocial Tele- ay. Since the nomination of Prof. Sprague there has been a prowing sentiment in his favor, and he is considered a promising can-~ didate, - Casey of Jamestown remains strovg and will have a good vote Monday. ~ At pres- ent there is no winning combination, but the fact that Johnson has veen shelved is ac- knowledged even by his supporters. His only hope is the inability of the other candi- dates to unite. The thigteen democratic votes remain solid, and will probably go into the republican fight as soon as they can make @ point by so downg. e THE MONTANA MUDDLE. The Lower House Organizss in Two Branches. Herexa, Mont., Nov. 28.—The lower house of the legislature orgauized to-day in two branches, the republicans meeting in a hall on Main street, the democrats in the courc house, The republicaus had thirty members, two more than a quoram, and were called to order by State Auditor Keoney, and sworn in by Justice Blake, ~Organization was per- fected, aud A.

It was stated that the republican action was based upon the proclamation of Governor Toolo that none be recognized as having rights as members €xcept those hold- ing certificates of election from county clerks, It was stated further that the new constitation, in force since October 1, ex- pressly provides that all returns be can- vassed by the same board created by the en- abling act to canvass the returns on the con- stitution, The republicans stand unaui- mously on the proposition thst only such a8 are found to be mewmbers by the state can- wassers are entitled to scats and all power to determine further rights resides olly in the separate houses and at no time in the governor, Without notice the governor ordered the members to meet in certain places, which, uatil the last moment bofore the hour appointed, were locked and guarded, with no prospect but that the said Places would continue under the governor's personal control. Rather than submit to such supervasion and restrictions the repub- licans, with the officers designated by law to call the house to order, proceeded to or- gaize elsewhere. e Hns a Ohoking Mania, Poveukeersi, N.

A mounted policeman visits the neighborhood semi-occassionally, but Lhere are no patrol- mon assigned 1o iho district. ‘I'he outrages of these thieves culminated Friday night in what might have been a murder, Matt Gablon, the janitor of the Walnut Hill schiool, has been visited twice by tho mwarauders, and £ome time ago he arranged a bell near bis bed and connected it with the door of bis hon house by a wire 8o tnat the door could not be opeued without ringing the beil. Friday afternoon he saw two men ‘‘sizing up” the house and surroundings and re- marked to his wife that he expected to re- ceive a visit from the thicves that night. Sure enough, his wife awakencd him about 3 0'clock Suturday morning and told him the bell was rinzing. He sprang out of bed and called to his brother-in-law, James Carr. They went out nto the yvard and saw two men near tho chicken copp. Ous of the men disappeared at once, but the other showed =l Guhlon had a revolver and com- menced firing, as he thought, at the thief, who started to retreat. It was not untit_a bullet gra Carr's arm that thoy discovered 1t was the thief who was shooting, and not Gablon. They closed up on him and Carr knocked him down with aciub, As he raised up he mado u vicious lunge with a knife at Gablon, stabbing him in the back near the lower end of the left shoulder blade. Gahlon grabbed the knife by the hiade and the robber turned it and twisted it as be tried to got it away until he nearly sev- cred the first finger of Gahlon’s hand. Carr ndministered auotner doseof the club and the rascal was finally conquercd and taken down to a neighboring drug store, where the patrol wagon was called. Gablon returned home and when he re- moved his clothes discovered that he was wounded. A physician was at once sent for and dressed the woinds. The wound in the back was found to be an ugly cut, but not serious, The finzer was hauging by a shired, but it is tLo1ght it can be restored to ats natural place. ‘Wheao the robber was taken to the police station he gave his nume as Joseph Kustner, but denjed cverything connected with the affair.

In years goue by Victoria was one of the brightest of the brilliant Vokes family galaxy. In speak- ing of her reappearance in America this sea- son, one writer says she seewed to pick up the thread of public approval where she dropped it on her departure for London some years ago. Comparisons are usually odious, yet thogo who go to see Victoria, for the first time atleast. naturally will com- pare her with Rosina. It will be found, we are told, that thoy are altke in sundry re- specis, such as nervous action, siagular grace in movements, cute mannerisms which are probably family babits, peculiar droll rolling of the cyes and facial expressions, a comicat squeal of surprise aud resemblances of that sort which might be expected in sisters, “The Rough Diamoud’and “Hubby" will be the opening bill, Miss Vokes appear- ing in bbth plays, “That Lhe vvorking people of this city, who labor 0 hiard and so long during the days of the week, appraciate a first-cluss entertain~ ment at popu‘ar prices on Sunday evening, has been demonstrated at the New Grand opera house,’’ said Manager Mioer. “Oce stauaing at the opera house entravce can readily see thut the large mu{umy of ticket purchasers are working people, with a good sprinkling of clerks, yirxu from workshops, ete, The house steadily increased each Sun- day eveniog until last Sunday every seat in the'big theater was sold and many had to be content with standing room.” ‘Tonight “Irish Hearts of Old” will be the uttraction at the same popular prices, and it will be well ta reserve seats at the box office during the day.

Acting President W, Babeook bas just returned from the east, and on calling his at- tention to the interview published in Tuk Bex about the heavy recsipis of hogs and the anomalous condition of the market at Sioux Ciuy, smd that i his opinion the locas tion and the waather have mucn to do with the comparatively lignt receipts here and heavy receipts at Sioux City. We have had agents out all through the lowa, Nebraska and Kansas territory tributary to the South Omaha markets, and thoy inform us that the country is just full of hogs but that the stock is not being moved. Thinking it pos- stble that somo stock was being shipped onst from Iowa points I male inquiries of oMficiuls of the lowa railroads and was informed that only a very little stock was being moved and all of it was being shipoed 1o South Omuha, “Whle masters are apparently abnormal, my opinion is that proper light thrown on tho watter will explain all the ugly features away. 'The unexpectedly large receiats nb Sioux City way bs accounted for by the earlier waturity of the crop in that northera ion, but still more by the erop famine in lurge parts of Dakotn, necessitating ship- ments of hogs ana cattle aven befire being rive. *Why, "the hogs reccived there this' season many of them have been so small that from 200 to 8J0 ure frequently shipped in a cur, whereas sixty of our large hogs, averaging nearly three hunared pounds, will fill n car. This, in a great measure, will ex= plain_the very large mcrease of receipts at Sieux City compared with this wmarket. Kansas City and other packing cen- ters in the extreme west, lHowever, we are not truly represented in the published ac- counts of hogs packed this season. Observ- ing that tho Cincinnat Prince Current’s last report gave South Omaha only 45,000 hogs packed for the scason, I had tuo matter looked up, and found that the yards had weighed dnd turned over to the packors hero during this scason nearly 48,000 hogs. Iatonce wrote to that papor calling atton- tion to this fact. “Sioux City is not trespassing on territory! tributery to Soutt Omaha the lenst. Nearly the whole of the receipts thera are from Dakotu, Minnesota and northern lows, 1 have given this matter some attention apd it is realiy surprising now hittle N\!lvrnsfin stock is received at Sioux City. The official report for October . shows . thut during the whole month only twenty cars of stock were received in Sionx City from Nebraska, and I now have a letter just, re- ceived statiog that during 1the Tlast two weeks only eight cars were received. This letter gives in detail the receipts of stock at that point snd nov a single car came! {from territory npaturally tributary.to Sonth Omaha. Nearly all of Nebraska’s contribu- tious to Sioux City's stock receints from the extreme northeustern part of the state in the nergnborhood ot Ponca. “Lam firmly convinced that South Omaha 18 getting all the stock now moved from trib-' utary territory.
