A Great Snow Slide In Idaho 'Uncovers
Wealth.
Boise, Idaho, special: A tremendous
snow slide occurred in the hills ten miles

cabin of a miner named Madden was
wrecked, and Madden was considerably
used up. He and his mule were swept
down the face of the hill, together with a
lot of snow, brush and other debris. He

A Horrible Kxecution.
A horrible story was received from Sladc,

head fiom the tiiink. leaving the neck in a
terr b'y mutilat-. d condition. The horror
of the scene was increased when the execu
tioner raised the knife and made an at
tempt to wrench off the he.id of the unfor
tuuatu man with Ids hands, while blood
gushed in torrent f'oni the gaping wounds,
in spite of all tiiis tugging and twisting,
he failed to te.ir it oiT, and azaiti placed the
body under the guillotine. Again the blade
fa led to pet form its work, on y leaving the
remains worse mutilated than before. The
brutal executioner then took a knife and
hacked and slashed at the back of the neck
until lie. succeeded in tearing the head
away.

Itumors Are Current that Thayer Will
Try to Unseat Boyd.
Lincoln, Neb., special: There is a wild
rumor afloat that Ex -Gov, Thayer has been
prevailed upon to renew the fijht for Gov
ernorship and contest Gov. Boyd to the last
inch. It will be remembered that the decis
ion of the United States Supreme Court was
only on Thayer's demurrer to Boyd's ans
wer and that in the very nature of things it
could not have gone into the real merits of
the case. Some days ago the mandato of
the Supreme Court was issued, remanding
the cause to tho Supreme Court of this
State for further proceedings. This man
date is expected to arrive any day, and this
rumor says that a reply to Boyd's answer
in the original-quo warranto case has been
prepared; that Thayer will sign it and that
it will be filed in the State Supreme Court
Tiiis reply will bring t"ie question of Boyd's
citizenship squarely before tho Court so
that evidence may be taken and the case
decided on its merits.
A number of prominent Republicans arc
in the city and they with Gov. Thayer and
ids attorneys have been in consultation.
This gives some color to tho rumor.

the entire output of the product manufact
ured. It is not a monopoly and has not
conspired against competitive Interests."

companies to furnish ' cars rapidly
enough to move a 40,000,000 bushel
wheat crop was not surprising. The com
panies as well asthc-Commissjon realized
what was coming, and on July 27 sent
a circular to fuel dealers all over tho
State urging them to put iu their stock
of fuel early so that cars usually em
ployed iu the coal trade could be used
for wheat transportation. To this sug
gestion many gave attention, and hun
dreds of cars that came in loaded with
coal went out tilled with wheat. In
this way a large portion of early thrash
ing was marketed and out of the way
before the bulk of the cropwas ready
to move. Responses to requests for
cars and motive power sent to other
States were liberal, and as a result it was
simply impossible to meet the demand.
At one place the doors and windows
of the warehouses were boarded up and
holes cut in the roof aud the buildings
filled tc their utmost capacity. At
other points farmers were notified that
their wheat could nit bo stored and
they, were advised not to haul it to mar
ket. In this way tho receipts were tem
porarily checked. Under such circum
stances complaints poured in upon the
commission. All that could be done was
to urgn the companies to provide moro
cars aud sco that they" were equally dis
tributed. At this time the commission
visited irt. Paul, Minneapolis, and Chi
cago, and succeeded in inducing mana
gers of the principal Kites to make ad
ditional efforts to relievo the overbur
dened warehouses. This they did, and
in a fortnight the situation began to im
prove, and soon every market in tho
State was reopened.
The actual shipments of all grains
from South Dakota during the months
of August, September, October and No
vember, as shown by statements fur
nished by the railroad companies to the
commission, was as follows:

The reports show that on the 1st day

Stato 6,000,493 bushels; on the same
date there was in the hands of farmers
not less than 10,000, 0C0 bushels.
GREAT REJOICING.
An
Unprecedented Amount of Water
Tiiinughoiit South I.'nkota.
Nkvkk before in the history of South
Dakota, or that part bordering the Mis
souri River north of Ron Homme
County, has theio been at this seasou or
the year such an enormous body of
water, soaking fields, roads aud street?,
as right now. The large body of snow
which has been gathering in strength
all winter, has faded away and iu its
stead remains water, watr, water; so
much so in fact that traveling is a bur
den aud hauling loads on tho public
highways an impossibility. Rut for all
that, the Tanners and business men arc
never heard kicking. Tiiis water has
been our greatest nee 1 just at t is sea
son, aud it is in such abundance that
even the rainmakers are forgotten for
the lime being, and every one is prepar
ing for spring .ork. Th - crop acreage
this year will be an enormous one. and
with the last year's success to bank uu
everything for South Dakota wears a
rosy hue. For the first time in several
years the numerous creeks are now full
of water, and du.iug tho past few days
several bridges have been carried out
on these booming little stivuihs.

together with tho vacated streets run
ning between, with a completed college
building 58x132 feet, threp stories high,

under the indirect supervision of the
Chicago institution, though having a

its own.
The dormitory building will bo imme

of September. Tho college is located
in a suburb about one and a half miles
from the city proper and commands a
far-reaching view. -
