BTURGI8. 8. D., Aug. 2.-(Speclal.)-A
most unuaual storm for the Black Hiua
country occurred Wednesday. There was
a prodigious rain at Sturgls and It extended
all around thla aectlon. While doing no
damage to apeak of the rain at thla season
of the year is a bad thing. It keeps tne
grass growing instead of curing, and the
froata may catch all feed In an Immature
stage. Reports from tne ranges are to uio
effect that all water holes ara full, but the
green (eed makes shrinkage in cattle while
shipping.

MITCHELL. 8. D.. Aug. 19. (Speclal.)-
A farmer living fifteen miles northeaat of
hare waa hurried to town with a awlft
team to have a physician repair a dlslo
cated ahoulder. After the Job waa done
the farmer said that he waa pitching wheat
bundles to a threshing machine and the
bundlea were ao heavy that hla ahoulder
went out of place. That waa considered
quite a real eatate boomlet (or the splendid
crope in thla city. Later it waa ascertained
that heavy wheat bundlea had nothing to
do with the dislocation of the farmer's
shoulder, but he had an altercation with
hla wife, who, proving the "man of the
house," knocked her husband Into a corner
and dislocated his ahoulder. It waa too bad
to spoil a good real estate agricultural
boom by a prosalo family quarrel.

"I never ploughed Into so many schools
of natural born hesltatora aa I met with
during thla last Inland lubber-gathering

officer of the navy who has been attached
for some months to a naval recruiting out

"Moat of them nudged ao close to the life

the officer In charge of our shipping outfit

He passed the surgeon aa eaay as a

was so good when he shed hla hayln' duds
and went before the physical examiner that
the surgeon only smiled and aald, "What's
the use? You'll do,' after taking little more
than a peek or two at the big lummox.
"But some of us that were looking on
could see that hla gizzard was about the
site of a sand gnat's. There waa a hunted
look In hla eye after the surgeon told him
that he was all right, and you could almost
hear the cogitations in his maintop while
ha waa putting on hla clothea preparatory
to going In before the shipping officer and
putting his name to the enlistment papers.

Take a brace, maty,' we said to him,
encouragingly, seeing that the big Zeke
waa edging cloae to a collapse, "What's

We had a hard time cugger-muggerlng
him out of that notion and we Anally, one
of ua at each aide of him, nursed him along
through the door of the office where the
shipping offioer had the enlistment papers
spread out. He had the inked pen in his

the desk with hla tongue , lolling out and
hla eyea rolling to acratch hla signature

would hold him tight (or three years when
there was a clattering and a creaking on

With the pen atlll in his hand he
clomped to the window and looked down.

GERMAN SOCIALISTS SPLIT
Grent Difference of Opinion Between
Men nt Hend of tho
Party.
BERLIN, Aug. .-Herr Bebel, the so
cialist leader, called the "uncrowned king"
by the social democrata, waa hissed at the
social democratic convention held In Ber
lin thla week, during a controversy with
the Reichstag vloe presidency queatlon.
Thla indicates the intensity o( the (actional
struggle going on in the party during the
period 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-Bernsteln disputes
of 190L
Herr Bebel, Singer and the old-tlmo
ohiefs are determined to participate in
the Ideaa on which the party haa grown
powerful, while Herr Bernstein, who la an
opportunist and moderate, favors a re
vision of the socialist program, especially
ao that the party, recognizing the exist
ing conditions, may combine with and
utilixe the political elements to as to se
cure a partial realization of its alma.
Second Party In Reichstag.
Ilorr Bernstein haa announced that it
would be a good party atroke to demand
the office of first vice president of the
Reichstag Instead of accepting a lower
presidency, tha . socialists being tha next
most numerous to the dominating party.
Herr Bebel said "no," since a vice presi
dency of the Relohstag would involve a
compromise with the monarchy and it
would be necessary for a socialist holding
office to wait on tha sovereign and con
gratulate him on tha new year and other
occasions, "to crawl on hia 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
socialist sphere and limit the weapona and
eaources against the opposition.
Herr Bernstein Is Joined in hla stand by
the aristocrat, Von Vollmer. and the able
writer, David, who affirm it ia time the
party grasped some of the agenclea of tha
government, and prepare fot the day it
will take over the whole of them, adding
that responsibilities should be sought for,
not evaded. They claim that a socialist
n the presence of the sovereign need only
act as a gentleman without modifying hla
opinions.
Behind the vloe presidency queatlon 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 yielding a little to con
ventional practices and compromises.
Herren Bebel, Bernstein and Singer and
Von Vollmer affirm 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 socialists ara untimely and
exaggerated.
