Things are livening up for the republican primaries which are to bo held throughout tln > county this afternoon. Thu big light Is solng to occur In the Fourth ward , , where John L. Webster has undertaken to put through a tlckut pledged to let him naino the candidates on the legislative ticket. This ticket Is sailing under the head of T. W. lllackburn for county at torney , but this Is only a blind , as Olack- burn had llttlo or nothing to do with mak ing 'tho ' delegation. In fact , Webster men nro peddling red , whlto and blue cards , In scribed , "Tho following ticket Is for John L. Webster lor United States senator. " The Webster delegation lb headed by Attorney John W. Uatttn , nnd Is loaded ui > with the old Webster- Uroatch gang. The petition an which It was filed was headed with the signature of John L. Webster himself , nnd Webster put up the money to pay for Its filing. Mr. Webster has unloosed his purse strings and U pouring forth money to all the riffrafflo have Influence In the Fourth ward to sell. The performances of his lieutenants in this direction are disgusting the decent clement of the ward , which Is rallying to the support of an unpledged delegation bended by Gustave Anderson , and which occupies the ilrst column on the official bal lot. In the First ward the fight hinges os tensibly on a preference for county attor ney , but the Websterlan hand Is behind It trying to secure delegates pledged to Web ster's legislative slate. \Vubnter Men I'nllliiK Off. The same Is true In the Second ward where a ticket was put up In Webster's in terest In opposition to the regular tlckel nominated by the ward club. Hero Wcbstei is having a hard tlmo trying to hold hit men , two of them , Gustavo Andrecn am Nols P. Swonson , having pulled oft wher they discovered who was trying to usi them. All Is serene in the Third ward , whcr there Is but ono ticket. Intho Fifth ward the contest is betwcoi delegations favorable to Hugh Myers on on Blilo and James Y. Craig on the other , to the legislature. In the Sixth ward there Is a partial tlckc ngalnst the regular club nominations wh < are committed for Nelson C. Pratt fo i county attorney. The six outsiders are sal to bo put up In opposition to W. I. Kler stead for county commissioner , with string attached to them leading to John L. Web ster's office. Tbo Seventh ward has two delegation contesting over the county attorneyshlp , on of them for II. L. Day , the Seventh war candidate , In the Eighth and Ninth wards there I but one ticket respectively , although in th Ninth the names of J. A. Beverly , H. 1 Olmstcd and William A. Gardner appear fo preference of the delegation's vote for th 1 legislature. At the primaries this afternoon th now form of the Australian ballot will t used for the first time at a republican prl mary.

NON-UNION PLASTERER SHOT Police ItcMiiond to Itlot Call and Arc Flrfd On by Mrlkern UliiK- Icudi'rn Arc Arrested. ST. LOUIS , Sept. IS. Striking plasterers precipitated a riot today at DC Hodlamont , at the western limits of the city , in which \Villlam Kane , a nonunion worker , was fa tally wounded and three others seriously hurt. Mounted police responded to a riot call and were met by a fusillade of bullets from the strikers. The police replied with a number of shots and a charge on the crowd , dispersing them and resulting In the arrest of Nat Drown and Joe Lee , who are thought to bo the ringleaders. For sometime there has been a strlko on among the plasterers of this city and vicin ity for higher wages , but until today no serious trouble has resulted. About 7 a. m. strikers gathered In considerable force near Ucrry's saloon In DC Hodlamont to prevent nonunion men from going to work on some buildings nearby. Derisive and abusive words led to the throwing of stones , and one striker drew his revolver and fired Into the crowd of nonunion men. This was followed Immediately by a volley from the strikers and Kane fell fortally wounded. When the mounted police came they were met by a volley of bullets. The strikers fled and Cap tain McNamee nt once called out all the po licemen available to chase and capture them. Reports from the scene of the riot are that the chase developed Into a running fight be- twen the police and some of the strikers , tbo result of which la not yet known.

SINKING FUND GETS LITTLE' Bolln Judgment Pund Will Be Used to Pay Current Obligations. NEW JAIL TAKES MOST OF THE MONEY Coiincllincii FlRiire Out Where They Can DlHunie of the CiiMli IH Set- tlliiK CluIniH tluit Arc Now Urnvtlnic Interest. While the city council has not yet form- nlly and officially decided what to do with the $33,000 settlement money received from the Dolln bondsmen , the members have practically agreed thnt the money will not be put In the sinking fund , but that the biggest part of It shall bo used In paying up the Indebtedness Incurred by the city lu securing now city jail quarters. U la believed that very nearly J23.000 of tbo amount will bo needed for this pur pose. In the first place , there Is owing to the school board on the purchase prjce of the Dodge school building and Blto $15,000 , which Is drawing Interest at 5 per cent. Then some $5,000 U being put Into a stable and several thousands more have been ex pended In transforming ; the school building Into a jail. The city councllmen believe the total expense thus Incurred will not bo much ICES than $25,000. The city fathers arc also thinking of spending a good portion of the remaining $10,000 In taking up other obligations. For example , a number are In favor of using some $3,000 In paying damages awarded ad joining property owners when the Sixteenth street viaduct was built. There are other claims being pressed forward and altogether , It the councilman's Ideas are carried out , there Is likely to bo but a small sum , if any at all , to put Into the sinking fund. Councilman Stunt Is vigorously opposing this manner of expending the money. He Is In favor of putting the entire lump sum Into the sinking fun to pay city obligations as they fall duo. Tbo fact that his Ideas of the matter are not being followed out has resulted In his accusations against his fel low councllmen. One of the other councilmen - men voices the objections held by the ma jority of the members against disposing ol the money thus In this way : "There would bo no economy In putting tbo money In the sinking fund. U might Ho there a long while without being used , as there Is plenty of money on hand to pay city obligations , and once In the fund It could not be taken out again. On the other hand , It would be more businesslike to take up obligation : such as our jail debt and thus save the Interest that would bo accruing all tin while. " The matter still rests In a commlttee'i hands and will probably not be disposed o until the council resolves Itself Into a bodj to examine Into the financial condition o the city. This meeting Is expected to maki place In the near future. AdiUury IImini' * Work.

CHICAGO , Sept. 15. C. A. Mntts , Edward Kcofo and L. II. Kurten , officials of the American Iron and Metal company , ono of the largest concerns of Its kind In this city , have been arrested on a charge of larceny , at the Instance of officials of the Santa Fe railroad. For several months past many of the railroads entering Chicago , especially the Santa Fo company , have been robbed of hundreds of dollars worth of Iron and steel rails. The rails were picked up all along the road at night and hauled away In wag- I ons. So frequent became the thefts and to | extensive the operations of the men , that Special Agent Qulnn of the i Santa Fe took personal charge of the matter - ! ter with the result that Kecfe , Matts and j Kurten were arrested , charged with being the thieves. Nearly 1,000 feet of rails were found in their place of business , but they deny having stolen them and say they pur chased the stuff from a well dressed man. Keefo is a well known politician of Chicago. SWEEPING REFORMS IN CHINA Edict of the Hnipcror CuttlnK Ofl AhiiHCH LIUcly to CnuHC Iteicnt- inc-lit In Ofllclal CIrcleN. PEKIN. Sept. 15. Marqula Ito , who Is1 understood to bo visiting China for the pur pose of arranging an offensive and defensive alliance between China and Japan , arrived 1 here today and was received at the railroad i station by notabilities specially ordered by ' the emperor to welcome the distinguished visitor. An edict has been published suspending the postal operations throughout the empire and replacing the present nystoin of government couriers. The edict Introducing reforms and I | cutting down expenditures proves that the i i emperor's advisers are bent upon a policy . ' which can only be the result of a complete t change of opinion. Most of the Chinese and 3 the old European residents look upon the - change as being too sweeping and irritating . to the Ofllclal classes , but It Is evident the - emperor has decided to abolish many abusea y and his efforts are welcomed by all the i enllghtend Chinese , who , however , counsel I. moderation.

CLIMATIC CONDITIONS CAUSE SICKNESS Iiicmiinnt Hnliia nnd Abnormal Heat Jo the IIiiHliirMn for the Men from the North How the Tiventy-iSccond Fared. Sergeant Samuel W. Douglas , Tenth United States cavalry and veteran of 31- boney , Las Uuasimas and Santiago , Is spend ing a few weeks In the city recovering from the Cuban fever and visiting the exposi tion previous to returning to his regiment nt Montauk Point , L. I. Sergeant Douglas , who Is a colored man , was not affected by the climate during his stay in Cuba and waa only taken ill when ho had boarded ship for the return. In speaking of the amount of sickness among the soldiers the sergeant says It is entirely due from the Inevitable privations of a campaign in an enemy's country that no foresight could pos sibly have averted. The sickness is due , ho said , to neither the scarceness nor the quality of the rations , but Is largely trace able to weather conditions. After the regi ment landed near Stboney on June 22 camp was pitched on a neighboring hill so ex posed that no flro could be lighted at night. It was necessary , therefore , to sleep In the trenches , drenched either by ratn which fell In generous quantities or by a saturating dew. In the morning the sun rose with an unhealthy warmth and the ground soon became in a steaming condition. Sergeant Douglas speaks of the rainfall as being ex cessively heavy and constant and said that ' from June 30 to July 3 every soldier In Cuba was wet through continuously. As to the rations as far as the sergeant's regiment I was concerned there was plenty and to , spare. Hard tack , bacon , sugar , coffee , to matoes and potatoes were Issued In sufficient quantities and everybody had plenty to cat In the neighborhood of the Tenth cavalry. , Alfred Morris of the Twenty-second in fantry was also a witness to the same stirring scenes and gives a graphic account ; of his experience at El Cancy In a letter to relatives In this city. "Tho enemy opened fire early on July 1 , " ho says , "and I saw men of my company fall all around me. I , together with others , gave the wounded all the help I could and though bullets were flying about llko hall I escaped without o scratch. I was In an open field In front ol the fortifications when our chaplain wo ; shot nearby and just behind a comrade whc was shot through the thigh , tbo ball I In the latter case striking me on the bee ! I with sufficient force to throw mo off mj t feet. The force of the bullet was so greal I that I thought I had ben kicked by a mule During our stay here the rain has taller almost every day and In a way to bo re > membered. The weather proved too mud for mo and I was taken with the fever jusi I as hostilities closed. I was In the hosplta for twenty-two days , but am now nearly wel i again.

DEADWOOD , S. D , , Sept. 15. ( Special. ) "I haven't heard of a single man who voted the republican ticket two years ago In Sout'h Dakota who proposes to vote anything else this fall , " declares Kirk 0. Phillips , present state treasurer of South Dakota , and re publican nomlnco for governor. "And , as an Instance of recent additions Co the party strength , we bad a number of men as dele gates In the Lawrence county republican convention last Saturday who In 1896 were with the opposition. "It IB too early In the campaign to make any figures as Do what our republican ma jority will be ; but even If the vote should be taken right now I would have no appre hension of the result. I believe our chances will grow largely between now and No vember , and we hope to leave no question In the minds of homcseekcrs and Investors that South Dakota has been redeemed. "A meeting of the executive committee of the state central committee and the can didates for state offices Is Do bo herd at Sioux Falls this afternoon , and wo then will map out a campaign , The Indications are that nil we have to do Is to organize so as to Induce every possible republican to get out to the polls. Two years ago rho Interest In tbo great questions Involved made it easy to stimulate the voters , but this year there seems to be such apathy that it may bo difficult to rally the strength of the party. The opposllon will hope to gain some ad vantage by hustling out Its fuTl force ; but It hasn't enough votes to como anywhere near winning even If It ) gets them all out , if republicans can bo made to realize the danger. "I have received a great many communi cations from different parts of the state , and there Is hopefulness In all of them. The conditions are such as to warrant It. j The administration of President McKlnley i has been a republican votio getter. The j harmony In the republican party of the state la much more cordial than the op position had hoped It would be. The dls- Benslons which Pcttlgrew .and the rest thought they would bo able to Incite have not ) matcrlallicd. We enter upon the cam- I palcn with our forces practically united , | white the other fellows are suffering i sloughs calculated to take the vim out elI them. " j "What U there to this threat of the oppo slt'lon to make damaging disclosures In tin campaign about you loaning the funds ol the treasury and taking Interest thereon ? ' \ Mr. Phillip * was asked. . | "Well , they may open up on that sort ol } thing at any time they BOO fit. Even If I hac t wanted to loan the state funds , which 1 j did not , I could not possibly have done si j without the connivance of Governor Lee , ai i every drtall of the handling of the publli i money has bwn with bis knowledge am consent. The legislature of 1895 enacted i raw which provides In detail how the stati treasurer's accounts must be kept , and the ; have been kept exactly In accordance there with In every particular over since I havi occupied the office. The treasurer mus a make a complete settlement with the gov e ernnr every month , making a statement ! a p to where the funds In his hands nro de : . posited. All banks which are deposltorle ' of the Btato funds must make a full show 1 In ? of what they have on hand , with ever j detail of tbo account , and this showing mua . be under oath. rt | "There never hai been a month lnc Governor Lee took the executive chair that ho has not had these statements from me and from the banks In which the state funds are deposited precisely In accordance with the law , and ho has been kind enough on various occasions to declare his gratifica tion at the way In which the treasurer's office has been administered. Notwithstand ing we ore competitors for t'ho same office In this campaign , I do not believe ho would either personally or on the stump give any support whatever to the Insinuations of como members of tbo opposition that thcro has been anything In my conduct ) of tha treasurer's office thnt was not entirely In accordance with law and equity. I have sufficient confidence in the manhood of Gov ernor Leo to rery upon his unwillingness to make any statements In public different torn those which he so oft'cn has made to me and to others in private as to the cou- luct of my office. "I have never made a deposit of a single dollar of the state funds for any special engtu of time. Every deposit Is subject to call at any time. Thcro has never been i day during ray administration of the : rcasUror'B office when every dollar was not nstantly and Immediately available. I never have either directly or Indirectly oaned a slnglo dollar of the public funds. Even if I had been disposed to do no , it could not have been done without ) detec- .lon under a law passed by a republican cgtslature. I have regularly deposited the : unds in regular banks , as is evidently con- : emplated by the law. Therefore , any tlmo that the opposition desires to make my ad ministration of the state treasurer's olTlco an Issue In this campaign I am perfectly willing to go before the people on that Is sue.
