CRESTON, Ia, Aug. 2.—(Special Tele- gram.)—The democrats of Union county held a nominating convention here today. Candidates were scarce and the only cone test was over sheriff. No nomination was made for county superintendent, but a resolution to endorse the republican eandi- defeated. The ticket nominated was as follows: Representative, T. 8. H. Dougherty; treasurer, Lou Pollock; sheriff, Armstrong Wray; coroner, Frank McGregor; surveyor, Charles Willlams.

D., Aug. 20.—(Speclal.)— The annual reunion of the Black Hille woldlers and sallors have “run up against” many tough propositions in years gone by, but none so bad as that at Pledmont Wednesday and yesterday. The first day opened rainy and cloudy all over the Hills and this cut down the attendance. Yester- day was still cold and cloudy. Judge G. G. Bennett of Deadwood made the address of welcome, and it was greatly appreciated. Hon. Washington Gardner, congressman from Michigan, made the main address, and it was a masterplece in every way—histarical, foroeful, patriotic and eloquent. There was a fair attendance and alto- gether the reunion was a success in spite of the elements. Lead has been chosen as the place for the next reunion, with date the same as this year. FEAR RAIN MAY INJURE RANGE Danges that Frost May Oatch the Grass Before it Has Had Time to Cure. BTURGIS, 8. D., Aug. 20.—(Special)—A most unusual storm for the Black Hills country ocourred Wednesday. There was a prodiglous rain at Sturgis and it extended all around this section. While doing no damage to speak of the rain at this season of the year is a bad thing. It keeps the grass growing instead of curing, and the frosts may catch all feed in an Immature stage. Reports from the ranges are to the effect that all water holes are full, but the green feed makes shrinkage in cattle while shipping. Truth Spoils Good Story. MITCHELL, 8. D., Aus. %.—(Special)— A farmer living fifteen miles northeast of here was hurried to town with & swift team to have a physiclan repair a dislo- cated shoulder. After the job was done the farmer said that he was pitching wheat bundles to a threshing machine and the bundles were so heavy that his shoulder went out of place. That was considered quite a real estate boomlet for the splendid crops in this city. Later it was ascertained that heavy wheat bundles had nothing to do with the dislocation of the farmer's shoulder, but he had an altercation with who, proving the “man of the house,” knocked her husband into & corner and dislocated his shoulder. It was too bad to spoll & good real estate agricultursl boom by & prosaic family quarrel.

Say, I'd sure like t' talk It over with maw ag'in before I put my hand t' them binding papers.' “We had a hard time cugger-muggering him out of that notion and we finally, one of us at each side of him, nursed him along through the door of the office where the shipping officer had the enlistment papers spread out. He had the inked pen in his shaking hand and was just leaning over the desk with his tongue, lolling out and his eyes rolling to scratch his signature at the bottom of the made-out form that would hold him tight for three years when there was a clattering and a creaking on the road down below. The yap seemed to recognize the sound. ‘With the pen still in his hand he clomped to the window and looked down. A little 0ld woman in a Paisley shawl and a poppy-littered bonnet was just climbing out of the farm wagon, which she had been driving herself. “‘It's maw! gasped the Rube with an expression of intense relief on his face. ‘I guess maw wants me.’ “The office door flew open. ‘And he was In her arms and she was in his'n. “'Th' idee o' my Micah wantin' t' go f'r a rowdy, drunken, scan'alous saflor—th’ very idee!' sald the old woman, addressing the tired-looking recrulting officer. ‘An’ him th' youngest o' elght boys, all o' ‘em as happy an' content as can be on their paw's farm—an' Micah never hevin' been no turther 'way from hum than Pee-or-la!

But the shipping officer, who overheard him looked up in some alarm. “‘You're not married, are you? he in- quired of the tease. The recruiting officers have got to be careful not to ship fellows trylng to duck responsibilities of matri- mony on a landsman's or coalheaver's pay. “The village cut-up replied that he wa'ant not jes' yit, but that— ‘Oh, well, if it's only that, you'll get over it all right when you go to sea,’ sald the officer, looking relleved. ‘A lot of us have carks, but we forget all about ‘em when we go to sea. The sea’s the greatest canker destroyer you ever heard tell of,’ and the officer winked solemnly over the hoyden's head at us. “Well, we almost had that fellow snagged—he passed the doctor without any bother and was eligible in all other re- spects for a deck swab, and he was ship- ping as a landsman—when, at the last minute, he made & brush out. “‘I reckon,’ the silo-and-ensilage sport with the cark in his midrift said, kind o' dreamy-like, when we began to glide him into the office to tack his name onto the papers, ‘I reckon T'll ast Cynthiana jes' onct more—Cynthiana knowed this mornin' that I was about t' take this fateful step, an' ef she sees that I'm downright des- prit an' mean it, w'y, mebbe she'll—' Saved by a Sign. “Again it was the miserable little Main street upon which the recruiting head- quarters was situated that robbed the navy of as wagglsh and straw-haired a Hank as ever played ring-around-rosy with the apple-cheeked girls at a huskin' bee. Our nearly-shipped candidate espled a neat-looking buggy going by with a white-clad girl driving the nag hitched to it at a slow jog. The girl was looking up sort of expectantly at the recruitipg office windows, “Our prankish one made one of the open windows in two slides, poked his head out and called out to the girl: ‘Hey, Cynth’, I'm jes' goin' t' sign now —say, Cynth’, shall I sign or no? “The girl in the buggy put a forefinger in her mouth reflectively, and then she shook her head from side to side. *‘Good-by, fellers!’ yelled the Hiram, hopping away from the window and mak- ing for the stairs. ‘I don’t want t' be no saflor—Cynth’ says it's all right!’ and two seconds later he was in the buggy and driving off with one arm around Cynth walst, the cark gone from his bosom sudden as a lime-juicer's crew lays aft for grog when the word is passed. “And we found all of them a heap exac- ting out there in the grain belt. With the outfit we had an old shellback of a bo'sun's mate, who's been going up and down the wotld In the frigates ever since the days of the old Ticon' and propeller wells, and this old jack was constituted the Bureau of Information to handle the applicants, because he'd promise them any old thing that they'd ask for, Gilding the Bait. “ But, look a-here, mister, I reckon I'd git seasick, never havin' been on th' water in nothin' but a skift before, an’ I've heeard tell that seasickness is pizen bad,' the shuffiers 'ud say to the old heavy- weather timber shiverer before making up thelr minds to ship, and then the old jack would look at them in surprise, “‘Listen yere, matey,’ he'd reply, con- fidentially, herding the doubtful ones into a corner, s0's to get & better ocrack at them, ‘I've been goin' to sea, man and boy, in this line o' packets ever sence I was the size o' a pup-skate on the Ginney coast, and every time that I've put off to sea, durin’ all o' them years, I've been a-gettin' sea-sick—horrible sea-sick—eick as a ship's dog that chewed two pounds o' lye —sicker'n a royal marine double-ironed in th' brig after a four-days' Gibraltar shore- leave—and that's a hull plenty sick, matey, I'm a-tellin’ you. “ And 'cause why have I been sea-sick every time I've gone to sea durin' all o' them years? 'Cause why?

They were particularly solicitous as to the kind of uniform they would be required to wear. He Wanted a Uniform, “In a lttle Missourl town a big, raw- boned hired man, with a climbing motion of the feet when he walked that 'ud make you think of the grape- -dancers in the dago Vineyards, clomped upstairs to the office, and without removing his headgear or in any other way recognizing the shipping officer, he slouched over to where one of the fancy uniform pictures was hanging. He placed a big thumb on the pleture of a chief petty officer, a chief bo'sun's mate with an anchor and eagle rating badge on the blouse sleeve of his watch arm, and he inquired of all of us in general “ Hey, mister, ef 1 go f'r sallor with you fellers do 1 git & suit o' clo'es jes' like this-a-one t' wear right off?' “Pretty forehand remark, that, when you stop to think that it takes a seventh son born lucky with a caul all the way from ten to twenty years (o get & chlef petty officer's Tig-out on his back in this man's navy!

Four sets o th' same, with th' cap thrown fn £'r th* askin’. But that kind o' uniform hain't got mo sword t' go with it. Now, you'll be wantin' of a sword t' go with your uniform, wen't you, messmate? “The hired hand reckoned that a sword added to the uniform wouldn't hurt none, but, he sald, with great positiveness, he ‘wa'n’t a-goin’ 10' wear ne loose blue shirt tucked inte them baggy wide-bottomed trousers jes' like common, ornery sallors, and ef he could have, right off, the uni- form that he'd pointed out in the ploture, w'y, all right—mebbe then he'd ship, and, then, mebbe again he wouldn't—he wanted to git that uniform question made clear fust.’ “The Bureau of Information made that all right with him, and, had hesitated and reneged and passed it up and come back a dosen times or 80, he was duly shipped as a coal heaver and hiked east to one of the recelving ships with a carload of the corralled ones. “I'd like to 've been standing by near the recelving ship pay office when the Jack-o'- the-Dust tossed that hired man a slop rig of government stralght bluejacket togs.

GERMAN SOCIALISTS SPLIT Great Difference of Opinion Between Men at Head of the Party. BERLIN, Aug. 2.—Herr Bebel, the so- clalist leader, called the ““uncrowned king" by the social democrats, was hissed at the social democratic convention held in Ber- lin this week, during a controversy with the Reichstag vice presidency question. This indicates the intensity of the factional struggle going on in the party during the perfod of its greatest triumph and which will be fought out In the party's national convention in Dresden in September. It is a renewal of the Bebel-Bernstein disputes of 1901 Herr Bebel, Binger and the old-timo ohlefs are determined to participate in the ideas on which the party has grown powerful, while Herr Bernstein, who is an opportunist and moderate, favors a re- vision of the socialist program, especially 80 that the party, recognizing the exist- Ing conditions, may combine with and utilize the political elements 50 as to se- cure a partial realization of its aims. Second Party in Relchstag. Herr Bernsteln has announced that it would be a good party stroke to demand the office of first vice president of the Relchstag Instead of acceptng a lower presidency, the socialists being the next most numerous to the dominating party. Herr Bebel sald “no," since a vice presi- dency of the Relchstag would Involve a compromise with the monarchy and it would be necessary for a soclalist holding office to walt on the soverelgn and con- gratulate him on the new year and other occasions, “to crawl on his stomach be- fore the representative of unjust institu- tions.”" He added that the vice presidency would also Involve compromises with other parties, entail responsibilities outside the soclalist sphere and limit the weapons and resources against the opposition. Herr Bernstein is joined in his stand by the aristocrat, Von Vollmer, and the able writer, David, who affirm it is time the party graspcd some of the agencles of the government, and prepare for the day it will take over the whole of them, adding that responsibilities should be sought for, not evaded. They clalm that a soclalist in the presence of the sovereign need only act as a gentleman without modifying his opinions. Behind the vice presidency question are two tendencies, to be either a great liberal party, postponing insistence on its theor- etical views of government until conditions ripen, or standing steadfastly by socialist principles without ylelding a little to con- ventional practices and compromise: Herren Bebel, Bernsteln and Singer and Von Vollmer afirm that they will strive to preserve party unity and say that the glee of the ministerial conservatives and members of the center party over the di- visions of the soclalists are untimely and exaggerated.
