BRE.I Ono famlllnr wlih Dakota jiolltlcs
will bo struck with tlio largo number of now
nnmca among tlio delegates elected to tlio
South Dakota convention , and moro particu
larly at tko conspicuous absence of tlio hltli-
crto prominent politicians and aspirants for
offlco. lion , A. J. Edgorton , tlio former chief
justice , and now a resident of Mitchell , is
about the only ono of the former prominent
statehood dlvlsionlsts that will liaro n seat
In the convention of July , nil the others
bolng cither from the now crop of statesmen ,
or gentlemen who have never acquired much
political distinction. Moody , I'cttlRrow ,
tinmblo , Kiniouso , Campbell , and other
familiar names uro absent , and the body will
bo largely , no doubt. Influenced by the supe
rior experience of Hon. A. J. tidgcrton , who
will , no doubt , nmkn many friends who will
bo of service to him when the senatorial
fight of next winter comes on.
A much inoru pncrgetlo light will now bo
entered upon for scats In the legislature , for
It Is legislative votes thi > t mukasenators , but
the nominations will hardly bo mndo buforo
August or September. Tno Farmers' Alii-
nnco men are already at work , however , and
propose to tuko the onttro leglsliiturc. all the
Btuto oniccs , membcisor unngrcss and United
States senators. They generally concede the
Judicial ofllccs to the learned'profession.
They nro to have a tlirco clays' convention at
Huron , Juno IS to SO , when mid whcro a slnto
will no doubt bo prepared. They have the
voles if they have the organizing and work
ing power , and can npprourinto all the ofllooa
if ttioy cheese ; but whulhor suuli a proceed-
uro would conserve the best interests of the
Btato is doubtful.
Appended Is the nearly completed list of
members of the convention : .
This gives llft.v ropublicuns and twenty-
two democrats , with the llfth district ( Mar
shall and Day counties ) to hear from.
The districts to which the foregoing con
stitutional convention delegates nro accred
ited uro composed of the following counties :
First Pennlngton , Ouster and Fall Ulver.
Second Part of Lawrence county , includ
ing the city of Ueadwood.
Third Part of Lawrence county , with
Butte , Uurdiclc , Kwing und Harding.
Fourth Hoborts , Grant and Uouol.
Sixth Part of Hrown county , with Me-
Phoraon and Campbell.
Seventh Part of Brown county.
Eighth Wnlworth , Edmunds and Faulk ,
Ninth Spink.
Tenth Potter , Sully , Hughes and Hydo.
Eleventh Hand , Buffalo and Jorauld.
Twelfth Aurora nnd Brulo.
Thirteenth Hcatllo and part of Sanboru.
Fourteensh Ulark nnd part of Kings-
bury.
Fifteenth Codlngton and Haralln.
Sixteenth Urookings and part of Kings-
bury. .
Seventeenth -Minor nnd Lake.
Eighteenth Moody nnd part of Minnc-
liaha.
Nineteenth Part of Minnohaha county.
Twentieth Lincoln and part of Turner.
Twculjsflrst Clav and Union.
Twenty-second Yauktou uud part of
Hutchjnson.
Twenty-third Charles Mix and Bon
Hommo nnd part of Hutchlnson.
Twenty-fourth Uavlsou and Douglas and
part of Sanborn.
Twenty-fifth Hanson nnd McCoolc and
part of Turner.
Of the democrats C. J. B. Harris , of Yank-
ton , Is the most conspicuous character. Ho
served in a previous convention , and has
bcon n member of the Dakota legislature ,
back In the olden time. Ho U a business
man of influence , means and character , and
will bo a useful member of the body. Edgar-
ton , of Yauitton county , is young and In
telligent , and will uiako n good member.
Hugh J. Campbell was loft out , and the
same Influences will no doubt defeat any
aspirations ho may huvo , If any , for the leg
islature. Strong and , probably , successful
combinations will bo made for the defeat of
Moody , Pottlgrow , Edgerton and Campbell
for the scnatorship in the interest of now
uud comparatively unknown men.

Thorowas no change tn the plumbers' strike

President niwsoy of the masters' association
smd that ho had received a letter from Mr.
O'Neill ' , the Llncolu master plumber who re
turned to that city yesterday , lu which ho
said that If ho had known tnut the men
contemplated taking the action they have , ho
surely would have remained in Omaha ; that
ho did not return to Lincoln through fear of
a strike , nnd would come back to Omaha If
Mr. Hussoy so desired. The other master
plumber from Lincoln Is still here and will
remain.
Mr. Hussoy say that the bosses In the
Capital city are welt prepared for n strike ,
having but little woric on hand.
There is no change lu the situation nt THD
BKK building , the plasterers uud carpenters
still remaining out. It was reported that tha
plasterers' union would hold a bpechil moot
ing in the afternoon und try to arraneo n set
tlement of the difficulties , but a
member of the organization said that
this was unfounded nnd that
the mectlnc of the union would not take
place until to-night.
The journeymen plumbers pcrsundod two
members of the trade , who came hero from
Chicago to go to work , to leave town unit go
to Denver. The journeymen claim tnat the
masters arc about to relinquish the
light , und give ns their reason for HO think
ing that tlio bosses nro using every means to
induce men to worlc for them , "They have

The alleged poisoning case against Miss
Hull , Mrs. Scott end Miss Ellmukor WAS dis
missed by Judge Borka lu police court ycs-
teriluy afternoon. Father Uigiro , of Croitli-
tou college , upset the plans of the police by
a letter to the county attorney , in which ho
stated that the coffee , of which Marvin , the
victim of the poisoning , had partaken Just
before ho was taken sick , did not contain
any poisoning. The report which was made
public on Wednesday to the effect that the
coffee had been found to contain arsenicwus
a mistake , Father Higgo explained , and was
caused by an analysis made by some of the
students , which was afterwards found to bo
incorrect. As Marvin , who made the charges
against the woman , showed no disposition to
prosecute them , the eusn was dismissed.

Scientific inon sco no reason why the
spun of human life may not bo extended
to a round hundroil yours from the
present limit of seventy to oightyyuars.
From Adam's time to that of Methu
selah and Noah , rnoti are recorded as
attainiiir { to wull nigh the ago of 1,000
years. The Psalmist David , howoyor ,
says : "Tho days ot our age are three
score years and ton ; and though men bo
so stroiifj that they como to fourscore
years , yet is their strength then but
labor and sorrow ; so soon passoth it
away , and wo are gono. "
This wide margin of longevity , to
gether with proper observance of men
tal , moral and physical laws , loads in
vestigators to believe it is possible that
human life might bo mndo to increase
in length of days to a full century , at
least.
Moderation and regularity in eating ,
drinking and sleeping are conducive to
longevity , and those whoobsorvo proper
habits and use pure and ofllcacious
romcdios whan bick , may accomplish
immonsu labor with no apparent injury
to themselves and without for shorten
ing their lives.
lion. H. II. Warner , president of the
Rochabtor , N. Y. , Chamber of Uoui-
inorce , and manufacturer of the cele
brated Warner's Safe Curehas devoted
much time and research to this subject
of longevity , und. has arrived at the
satisfactory conclusion that lifo may bo
prolonged by rational and natural
menus. Thousands of persons are living
to-day enjoying the blessing of per
fect health and vigor who will testify
to the almost mnglcnl otllcacy of War
ner's Sufo Cure 411 restoring them to
physical potency nnd to the normal
typo of constitution , after they had
almost plvon up hope of life.
After middle ago , many begin to lose
their wonted vigor of body , und there
upon give way to inertness und useless
repining. Yet nil such have within
roach that which both renews youth and
contributes to the prolongation of lifo.
Warner's marvelous Safe Ouro uro in
every drug store , and are now regarded
as standard specifics throughout the
civilized world.
The strong desire to attain old age
meantime retaining the virile powers
of body and mind is necessarily con
nected with the respect paid to ugod
persons , for people would scurcolv desire -
sire to bo old , were the tvgod neglected
or regarded with mere sulloranuo.

ATTENTION.
The Last Subject in Dr. Dnryen' * In-
terefltlna Sorltm.
Wednesday nmht , ot the First Congrega
tional'chnrch Dr. Duryea delivered thclast ] of
n series of weekly lectures which have bcon
ot considerable Interest tohls congregation.
His topic was "Attention. " The audiences
have bcon of n prayer meeting order , nnd ho
sntd at the Introduction ot his remarks that
his later talks had degenerated into lectures
moro than mere exercises. In a very explicit
nmnnor tha speaker defined his subject nnd
Its results from modern research. Ho
first took up the will power and what it was.
"I have a will" to do so was Incorrect. "I
am a will , " was right. That meant some
thing. The words "I will" toll the whole
story. That meant you possessed a ix > wer ,
nnd control of yourself and could guido ,
upply and exert what you undertook. At
tention was the direction of nny power you
bud in your will.
Ho nlso spoke with reference to the body ,
the mind , the measure and conception of the
will ; the application of mental force to so-
euro productive development from It ; tlio
Dower to control the mental feeling1 ; nnd
sensibilities. If practiced long enough , the
body could bo made to do almost anything.
The blood rushed to whatever portion of the
body the mind directed , 'und there was
ro feeling to the body unless attention wns
directed to It. To demonstrate this fact
the reverend gontluuinn gave several
Illustrations of people wtio had been burned ,
strucK , received bruises , cuts and other in
juries , unconscious of the fact whllo their
minds or nttontlou wns wrapped up In some
thing absorbing to them. Hut when their at
tention was called to the Injury they would
realize it and they would bo aware of It by
the p.iln caused thereby.
Ho gnvo several examples of the vigorous
will-power of human beings. The secret of
success In life , ho said , was due to diverting
attention to whcro it should bo directed.
1'coplo with troubles , sorrows nnd pains
were not nfllicted so greatly If their attention
were diverted from such nflllctions.

Councilman Davis * Views on the Mnt-
ter of Street Lighting.
"Tho city has no contract with nny com
pany for lighting the strcots , 8adCounoilman !
Davis , when questioned concerning
his reasons for Introducing n resolution In
the city council Tuesday night. Instructing
the comptroller to ndvortiso for bids for
lighting the city streets for a term of flvo
years , "Tho ? as company's contract ex
pired last September , ana slnco that time
the city has been paying the old rate of (31
per annum for each gns lamp In the city. "
"You consider this high ! "
"At the council meeting , to bo hold Satur
day night , I will present figures showing
how this prlco compares with that paid by
other cities , and will also shoxv what I think
can ba none In other directions. I am not
prepared to make a statement ut present. "
' How'runny $31 gas lamps Is the city
using ! "
"About Qvo hundred , nnd nearly as many
gnsollno lamps. In Chicago the price paid by
the city Is but $1 per thousand foot , nnd av
erages about fcJl n year per lamp. Uc should
get as cheap service hero. But whether wo
get nny lower rates or not , It Is necessary
for the city to have u contract for street/
lighting with somebody. "
"Won't the gas company offer nny reduc
tion on its present rales I"
"When bids were called for last September
the gns company put In mi offer that was n
slight reduction on the present rates , but
no action was taken by the council. The
matter will bo fully discussed at the meeting
on Saturday night , "
Minot Tirrell , manager of the Thompson-
Huston company , says Ills people will put in
n bid nml furnish the city any security it
wants to supply all the light , both arc and
Incandescent which may bo needed , 'i'hu
company has already purchased a
site on Jones between Fourth nnd
Fifth street , at n cost of ? T ,000 , and will
cstabtlsn thnro a plant of 2,500-horsc-power
capacity , with day as well as night circuits.
Besides running lights they supply power to
small manulactoric.s in the business portion
of the city. They nlso propose to extend
their light territory Into the rcsulenco dis
tricts. If the council desires to substitute
electricity for gas , ho thinks their plaut will
bo largn enough to satisfactorily cover the
city. If not , it can easily bo nuido larger.
Plans for n building 123 foot square and
three stories high have boon ordered , and
work is to bo commenced on the structure
without delay.
