In cpltc of the constant advertising and
the thick postlnp of bills 1/r state janitors ,
the speal crs at the popocrzt . rally were
greeted by an audience of 324 men and S6
women , alrhough the Epeajs did not or''n
up till30 p. zn. This audience in a ball
that seats l.WO peoole mad ? a very small
showlnc and hsd a dlsplr'tlac offer : on the
bpcJkers A few more p'O.jl.1 stra iled ; > nto
the meeting during Its progress , most of
them republicans , led rherrf oy curiosity. It
was the most dreary "rally" ever held In
the city.
State Treasurer Meserve made the prln-
clpal speech of the evening and at the out
set he was so manifestly out of temper
that he applied epithets to the promiscuous
lot of people and newspapers. He said the
state officials did not claim to have performed -
formed any miracles , they had simply used
tn an honest way the money that had come
to them. They considered It legitimate to
uee the permanent school fund to pay pre
mium on bonds. The. only way now to get
bonds without paying a premium Is to go
out after them with a shotgun. He denied
that more taxes have been collected In the.
last two years than In previous years , but
claimed larger collections of school land
money. This was because the land commls-
sloner had done his duty. The normal ap
portionment of the state would be JT09.S74
and the best republican apportionment had
been only { 560.000. He admitted that ap-
portlonment had been abnormally large of :
late and said It would decline to a lower
figure. He criticised the figures In Hay-
ward's speech regarding the expenditures of :
the populist officials compared with the same
length of time under republicans and for '
getting that Hayward bad eliminated the 1
"salaries , claims and fixed charges" for each 1
period alike , figured out a saving for the
populist period.
He said that Hartley bad turned over to
[
him J1.01OX ) . being more than Hayward
stated , but that some of it was tied up in 1
broken banks , so that the real available
amount was ) S64C62.13. This statement 1
surprised the audience , most people baring :
heretofore been assured by the populists
. that Bartley stole all the money. Mr. Me-
!
rcrve said that of this amount turned over
to him. $155.000 was In cash. $143.960 was
In the sinking fund and $240,54S in the
permanent school fund , the other amounts
being distributed. H had tried to get In
the money without breaking any more banks.
He said that one great saving of money
had been In compelling the county treas '
urers to make monthly settlements. Under
the old plan county treasurers had been
getting away with the money. He said the
treasury bad on hand September 1 of this
year $467.441. of which amount $170.640 was
In the permanent school fund and about the
same amount In the temporary fund. He
denied that any amount of delinquent taxes
had been collected , saying that the delin
quent list was not worth anything and most
of It never would be collected.
At this statement Commissioner Wolfe ,
who occupied a seat on the stage and who
owes taxea to Lancaster county for several
years , running back as far as 1S74 , was
noticed to lead the applause. Mr. Meserve
closed his speech with an appeal to the people
ple to vote for him at the coming election.

W. N. Babcock. superintendent of the de
partment of transportation of the Trans-
mlsslsslppl Exposition , and C. E. Snyder
had an Interview with the president this
morning In reference to bis train to Omaha.
The president states that he would like , it
possible , to be carried through ( o the expo
sition city without having the train broken
up at Chicago. Mr. Babcock assured the
president that this would be done , having
received assurances from the Pennsylvania
railroad people that whatever the president
wished would meet with hearty acquiescence
on their cart.
Mr. Babock then asked the president If
he had a choice of routes west of Chicago ,
to which he replied that he had not , ex
cept that Senator Allison and other friends
In ! owa bad atked that he might pass
through some of the leading towns in Iowa
during the day time.
"Every road between Chicago and Omaha
has tendered the use ot their lines" said the
president , "and I am profoundly grateful tor
their courtesy. 1 am , however , at the dis
posal of the exposition , and shall go as the
committee arranges. "
Mr. Babcock. after some further talk In
relation to matters of transportation. Inti
mated that the Pennsylvania would be the
Initial line , and the Burlington going from
Chicago , the Northwestern having charge of
the train on Its return.
U now seems definitely assured that at
least four members of the cabinet will ac
company the president. Secretaries Gage ,
Bliss. Smith and Wilson , with their wives.
Assistant Postmaster General Heath will
alto go. as will General Miles and Commo
dore Fhlllp of the Texas.
This afternoon the committee will call on
members of the diplomatic corps and urge
their acceptance of the Invitation on the

Omaha delegation and was presented to the
president.
As at present arranged the president will
leave Washington October 10 in the mornIng -
Ing , will arrive at Chicago Tuesday at 11
In the morning , and without any stop , ex
cept to change engines at Chicago , will be
In charge ot Che Burlington road from that

and arriving at Omaha some tlme > Tuesday

If it can be arranged , the president will
go to Denver for a day and will return over
the Northwestern from Omaha to Chicago

The president said that while he had no
choice as to a route from Chicago , many
of his friends In Iowa , notably at Cedar
Rapids , Ottumwa , Creston and other towns ,
bad been especially anxious that be stop
there either going or coming , and to do that ,
he would have to take the Burlington and
the Northwestern. This removed what
promised to be a delicate question for the
superintendent ot transportation to settle.
and Mr. Babcock , recognizing that It was the
president's desire to lee some of the leading
towns in the Hawkeye state , at once
acquiesced In the president's wish to to and
come as above.

crease in value continues , the par value
will be reached In four or five years. Last
month ten share were reported sold in New
York , which is the first sale for nearly a
year. The Highland Mining company ranks
next to the Homestake. The total amount
of dividends paid Is J3.704.71S. the last div
idend being 20 cents a share which was
paH last month. The company is capital-
tied at { 10.000.000. at J100 a share.
The Deadwood-Terra company his paid
a total of Jl.350,000. the last dividend of 15
cents a share having been paid last May.
The- company is capitalized at $5,000,000 at
23 cents a share. These three companies
are virtually under one head , but are
known by separate names. The total divi
dends paid up to date by the three compan
ies Is US&5,96S and the combined capital
stock Is J27.00.000.
The Golden Reward Mining company has
no stock for sale oa the market. It has
paid to date 1155,000 In dividends , the last
dividend of 15 cents a share having been
paid last February.
The Holy Terror of Keystone. In the
Southern Hills , will soon rival all of the
other companies. H Is now the heaviest
dividend payer In the Black Hills , according
to the amount of capitalization. The com
pany is capitalized at 300,000 shares at Jl
a stare and the first dividend was paid
only a year aeo. Nine thousand dollars a
month or 3 cents a share , have
been psld for thirteen months
making a total of J117.000. In two
more years , at the present rate , the divi
dends paid will have considerably exceeded
the capital stock of the company. Mr. J. J
Kayel , general superintendent ot the com
pany , who has personal charge of the prop
erty , owns one-third of the stock , and he is
therefore receiving 53.000 a month in divi
dends. The Holy Terror mine Is the heaviest
gold mine dividend payer oa the stock ex
change , taking in consideration Its small
capitalization.
There art several fine properties in Nevada
gulch near Terry. Last week the lessees
of the Ben Hur property struck a large body
ot ore which has the promise of being one
of the best In the Bald mountain district.
The lessees were about to give up further
work , after nearly a year's hard work. The
ore shoot has been cross-cut twenty feet.
with no sldewalls yet found. Six car loads
1 of ore have already been shipped , the loaest
one having the average value of $ M gold
1t
to the ton and the highest about ! HO. It
is concldered the best strike made In this
district this season. The same shoot of ore
is thought to have been struck on the Ryan
j fraction , north and across the gulch from
i the Ben Hur and still farther north in the
i dividend. The three strikes were made at
| about the same time. In the Ryan claim
I the shoot is three feel square and assays JW

I The Herriion mine , la North Lead , owned
by the Kueiter brother * and associate * is
developing into a very rich mine. In three
years it has produced about $19.600 worth of
ore each year , but ( or the last few weeks
It baa trlppled It * record. This week 120
tons ot ore hare been shipped , all of which
had an average value ot ISO a ton gold. On
Wednesday of this week a new ( hoot of ore
was struck on the west side of the claim
on the surface , fourteen tons were mined
the first day. which had an average value
of IGS a ton. The day's work amounted to
nearly 11.000 In ore. This body of ore Is
about four fett thick and fifteen feet wide
and of undetermined length. The mainsheet
shoot of ore underground Is twenty-five feet
wide and six and a half feet thick , and ex *
tends. It Is supposed , GOO feet north to the
end of the claim.
The Durango mine joins the Harrison on
the east. A tunnel Is being run north from
the railroad track KO fret to tap the ore
shoot from below , which wves the expense
ot hoisting the ore through the shaft. The
same high grade of ore Is being shipped from
he mine as from the Harrison. The capacity
of the mine will be Increased' as soon as
he tunnel Is finished. Lieutenant James
Cuslck of Grlgsby's Rough Riders Is one ot
he heaviest owners.
A good shoot of ore has ben opened up In
the Ruddy mine which joins the Durango on
the east. The- ore Is a little lower grade
ban In the other neighboring mines A car-
oad of ore was shipped last week and an
other one is ready for shipment. The mine
s owntd by B. E. Salmon ( c Son of Lead.
Shipment of ore has been resumed agiln In
the Boley mines In Blacktail gulch. The
mines have been closed down two months
owing to a labor strike. The work Is now
> elng done by contract which leaves the
bor question entirely with the men who do
; he contract work. The cyanide mill In
Deadnood Is now running on full time.
Across the gulch from the Boley property ,
the McDonald brothers ot Gardtn City , have
a lease oa the Rosslter claim and they have
struck a shoot of ore of considerable size
which assays about $60 a ton gold The ore
itto be treated in the new cyanide plant , at
Garden City. The cyanide mill will be ready
for ore about the first of next month.
The McShano brothers h&ve struck a good
shoot of ore on the Compromise Little Pitts-
burg. In the Yellow Cr k district. It li
thought the shoot extends into the Little
Blue Fraction , where It is very rich. They
will commence to ship ore next week. Fif
teen tons of ISO ore are being shipped every
day from the Wasp Xo. " In the tame camp.
The ort > is taken from two shoot * about fif
teen feet nlde aad seven feit thick. There
art th'rse shoots of ore in the Little Blue
fraction which * re producing about twelve
toes of 150 rock. A shaft Is soon to be sunk
from the surface to the second quartzlte
where another shoo : of ore has been found.
The ore is hauled to Kirk , two miles , where
it is shipped.
The machinery has arrived for the Sunset
Mining company's new hoisting plant. In
Huby Basin. This company was only re-
cntly organized , principally of Minneapolis
capitalists. The property lies between the
Mogul and Union mines , which are the
heaviest , producers of ore in the Bald Moun
tain district. A fine hoisting plant is being
erected.

Robert Mclntosh of Winnipeg is here look
ing after his herds of cattle. He has 5.JOO
head distributed among farmers In this
county on shares , which he rays are all well
cared for. He Is satisfied with the results
and says he finds this plan very helpful to
farmers desiring to engage In the stock
business and quite profitable to himself.
These are divided Into eight herds and are
In splendid condition. Mr. Mclntosh be
lieves that the cattle market will be as good
as at ptesent for at least three years and
stockmen rave reason to be satisfied with
rrrvallins prices. Range cattle In many
parts of Manitoba are not up to standard
grade this -rason because of short pastur
age , and the numbers are much less than
last stafon. while In South Dakota cattle
generally are fr.t and smooth and of as
good quality as any In the northwest.
