I , S. D. , Aprif 10. ( Special. ) One
feature of the coming state campaign which
fe being remarked upon Is the scarcity of
avowed candidates to fill the offices. Tbe
jiopullst convention U but two months away ,
but Oox-crnor Lee U about the only open
candidate tor a place on that ticket. "While
the republican convention hat cot yet been
called and there ic more time lor the candi
dates to get Into the- field , there does not
eeem to be a great rur.h of candidates to avow
themselves. So lor the only one to publicly
announce himself to Dr. Flnnerud of Wet
town , aa a candidate for the head of tbe
ticket. Of course there ore numerous parti
BEOS of either elde wtio are willing to make
the try lor the positions , and they are demoting
meting considerable time to the Inspection of
the political field , but none of them show
an inclination to yet make an open an
nouncement of their desires.
"While there le talk of bolting from tfcs
fusion force * on tbe part of eome of the
democrats , their action at their central com
mittee meeting at Mitchell last Thursday ,
where they decided upon holding a conven
tion at the same time and place aa the popu
list convention , coo be considered as a strong
tadlcatlon that fusion is expected by the ma
jority of Uie members of the old central
comtnlttee of Ibot party. The fact that Uie
resolution adopted v.oa in the way of
tiireat to the popullcts that the demo
crats would either do the fusion
dictating or not fuse , is largely a
bluff , end when H. la called they will lay
donw their hands without aa attempt to
ohow cards. Due of the demands which 1 *
being advocated is that the democrat * be

nbat they cannot secure this , oor any of the
jrtares which ore oow held by the populists ,
as that party will claim a rtaomlnatlon ol
their successful candidates as a right which

There ihas also been talk of bolt on th
part of tbe mid-roaderi , in cute fusion Is ac

firemen. In case it Is " 'decided advisable to
Incur this additional expense one man will

a truck , but there ! a no one to handle it
It will also be necessary to purchase a hooe

fire department is badly In need of aatlut-

It has been impossible to incrcaw the effi
ciency of the department to any extent.

The remarkable endurance of those -who
tnifler with a severe form of rheumatism Is
without a counterpart in painful illness.
Think of 25 years constant fight against tee
malady with only Mef periods of relief.
It is no wonder that when finally cured such
nufferers should write letters In testimony
of the fact. Many people are nupplclous of
such letters. Taey-telther do not believe
the facts or else they.believe their con
dition to be verymufhjwpri'e and beyond the

Tonic will give sucri pronounced relief in the
very worst cases of rheumatism ac to ret

The man who thinks he km we all about
the heart of a woman very often finds him
self sadly mistaken. The truth ot this is
well illustrated by a recent Incident la the
City of Mexico , relays the Courler-Journul
A resident of that city paid attentions tea
a 'young woman , as has not inlrequcally
happened before. It was also not very cur-
prlslng , in view of the history of such affairs , |
that he and his Inamorata had frequ < .m
quarrels. This lover , however , introduced an
iaclient not so common in the- course of
true love , even when it falls to run smoath , j
[ . by plunging a knife Into the young woman's 1
I \ back , icfllrtlng a wound which endroKereJ
her llTc. Such , however , was her love for ,
' tbe man that she concealed the matter frsm
the police. She not only recovered from her j
wound , but she married the man who bad
inflicted 1L This was certainly a courageous
act on tbe part of the girl , whatever may
be thought of her discretion. '
The new husband , however , seems to nave
ccnstruod the former conduct ot his wife
E * indicating that she lacked the instln-t of
sclf-protectica and w ould bear anything from
a man to whom she was devotedly attached.
Differences arcs ; between the two after mar
riage , as they had before , an ! the husband
fell Into the habit of adjusting them by the
use o ! a stick. We regret to say that the
Information at our command docs not give
the sire of the stick with a view to determin
ing whether it was within tbe prov'i ce of
the old common law , which benevolently
permitted the hushtod to chastise his wife ,
but fiet a limitation u ; > cn the dimensions
of tbe club with which he was allowed to
I remonstrate with her. However this may
be , the wife finally got tired of submitting
to the application of the club and made
complaint against her husband. In this
conxplalnt she Included not only the post
nuptial beatings , but also tbe ante-nuptial
wound with the knife. As proof of this she
exhibited the scar of the old wound.
The sequel to this etory Is not yet com-
| plete. Th ? husband pleaded that he had
beaten his wife because she had beaten her
raother-ln-law jid caused her arrest npsn
that , ground. At last advices both were in
nrleon. luit nu moral o ! the Glory is suf
ficiently evident.

In the dim and misty epes ol the past , ob
serves an exchange , w&en wandering bin&j
of npe-llke human beings had not developed
tdelr tribal customs to the level of priestly
ceremony when mendlcine man had not
arisen a marriage between a man and a
young woman vras generally consummated by
the men beating the girl Into insensibility
and dragging her by the hair to hie cave.
Added to its simplicity , the custom had the
merit of improving the race , as unhealthy
and Ill-favored glrln were not pursued , and
similar men w ere clubbed out of the puruult
by the stronger. But the process was neces
sarily painful to the loved one , and her temale
children ccturally Inherited a repugnance to
icing wooed.
Wbcn a civilized young woman , clothed
and -well conducted , anticipates being kissed
or embraced by her lover che places in the
way what difficulties are In her power ; cho
gets behind tables and chairs , runs from him ,
compels him to puraue. acid expects him to.
In her maidenly heart she may want to be
kissed , but file ccnnot help resisting. She
obeys the came instinct that impelled ths !
wild girl to spring from the outstretched
arma of tbe boy and go scre-amlng out of
the cave end down tbe beach in simulated
terror an instinct inherited from the pre-
hl torle mother , who fied for dear life and a
whole skin from a maa armed with a club
and bent upon marriage.
