The cancu'ies for tho election of ilcl ecates to thecounly convention were held in the various precincts hut .Saturday, and eo far as we have heard, passed off in a quiet and orderly manner. The del egates chosen from the different precincts wc believe to be intelligent men, men who who have tho boit intercuts of the entire county at heart, and with them, as such, wc arc willing to leave the ivsuj, believ ing that when theyai-pcmbleiri Red Cloud on next Saturday, for tho purpose of .placing in nomination men to fill the county offices, they will carry out the wishes of their cont-tttucntd to tho letter, and place in nomination men whom tin wholo people of tha county can conscien tiously support at the polls noxt Novem ber. We believe '.he delegate fully real ize, the duty they owe to themselves and to the county; and will act in such a man ner that, when they have finished their work the people of the county will nay, "well done thou good and faithful ser vants. " Last Saturday, Sheriff Warrea ar retted a man from Ellsworth, Kansas, who had stolen a horse from a Mr. Whalyofthat place. Tho Sheriff re ceived a postal from the owner of tho horse, and when he was quietly taken in he acknowledged tho theft. lie now Ian guiehcth id the liastile. A number that attended the caucus last Saturday at the Court House, wero heard to say that they would have cheer fully given a dollar if O. C. Case could have had the privilego of speaking in that meeting, lie would have ventilated the past political record of the man with the good clothes. We have to issue a supplement this weefc on account of so much space being taken up by tho circus ad. It pays us, however, and our readers (especially those who are in arrears,) ought not to com plain, as we have to raise money some May to pay our paper bills. The following gentlemen were elected last Saturday to represent Ited Cloud precinct at tho county convention , il. Maurer, Jacob Wiggins, II. C. Scott, It. It. Shcrcr, O. 1. Mslvinley, E. B. Smith, F. Ilouchin, W. II. Strobui, B. llalcjtub and Abratu Kalcy. We mut call attention to tho very beautiful stock of gloves, hosiery, hand kerchiefs, ladies' ties, ruffling, laces and corsets and tho many cunning things which It. D. YeisPr is now opening fresh from Chicago. A force pump has been put in the well by the liberty pole, aud with it 1225 feet of hoo nakes an excellent street sprinkler, and would be a grar.d thing in case of a fire. The Baptist Church will give a sup per and festival at tho Court House on Tuod iy evening, September 123rd. Pro ceeds to assist in raiding the salary of the pastor. All arc invited to attend. Mr. Isarel Stein, formerly of Red Cloud and now of Chicago, called at eur office last Sunday. He will locate at Ivirwin, Kansas, in business of hi? own. Mr. J. G. Davis, traveling corres pondent of the Omaha Republican, made these headquarters a pleasant call last Saturday. Tho press agent of Sells great circus called last Saturday and made arrange ments to have us advertise them in this county. It is foolish to pay from five to ten dollars for a "horse book" when you can get ju,t as good a book for 25 cents at the CniEr office. The Pnrdey comedy company haui bugsed a Mnall and disgusted au lience at the court house Lut Moulay night. That was a wicked cus who wanted to know how the vote stood on the elec tion of chairman last Saturday. Mr. A. li. Funk, principal of the Red Cloud school, paid the CHIEF a pleasant visit last Tuesday. Call again. WANTED. Ten men to assist in cut ting broom corn.

' hillside and ravines as to lead to the mi pre.mion that heie is a huge granite quarry. Southwest of Republican City fourteen miles, OX PltAiniE POO CItEEK, is found the largest of thcc singular de posits They are naturally called ''Gran ite bluffs" from their cloe resemblance to the lighter varieties of gray granite, and it is not easy to change tha popular verdict that this is a veritable granite formation. It is a bold bluif of solid rock rising almost abruptly tn a height of eighty feet on the eat, with less precipi tation use toward the north, on which side it is exposed in i circle norly a mile aud a half in extent. Fragmeut-i, large aud small, are distributed around the base, mi inly due the hreaktnc and cruh ing power of tho glacial agency. The creek makes A CIRCUIT OK SEVKN MILES, and renders the rocky area almost an is land, showing that it existed as an isolat ed mountain of rock before tho valley of the creek was established; nnd when this water course of the glacial area ws estab lished the dome of "granite," as it is called, compelled the stream aud valley to make here a grand detour. The rock contains silica soda, potassa and irou, with but very liraoor ut-ignesia It it very hard and brittle, easily breaking into straight lines of aoy required size. It is good for almost any cae that may be required of it none of thedisjut grating forces having scarcely any effect upon it. It will serve for foundations of all t-truct tires, or super structures for the railway, the citv, or the common house. The farm ers of Knnsas and Arkansas haul the Ioomj fragments many miles, indicating the uses as anuve described The material is homogeneous throughout, leading to the theory that it is the result of one, instead of a series of hot spring", who.-e periodic overflow ha, during long ages, deposited these alkali rocks. The central chimney or tube through which the water once holding these rocks in solution wero conveyed will probably be fouud from one to seven miles south of the northern curvatiou of the bluff To many of my readers this will appear as an asxumptinn or "begging the ques tion " that this or the foregoing instance.- are the result of geyets or hot springs. But wo cau examine one ot these springs in actual operation near Cawkcr City, in Mitchell count, Kansas, thirty miles south of the Nebraska line, This noted spring is called MANITOU, OR GREAT SPIRIT SPRINGS, so namedby the Indiaus, who from time immemorial have here held their meet ings with song and such ether incantations as i elate to their "big medicine" business. It is a huge stone basin near five hundred feet across the top. In the centre is a ircular pond of warm water, which pours over the rim of the-basin and escapes to the Solomon river near by. The water is alkaline, salt being predominant. At tempts to find the depth of this boiling sprinz have not been successful. It prob ablv extends downward several thousand feet, and communicates by cleft or fissure with the thermal waters, warmed by the interior heat of the earth. The great mass of rock enclosing these briny waters is about seventy feet ib.ive the Solomon river. 1: appears to bo the summit of a chimney built up from un known depths by depoi s from the over flow of this alkaline spring. The roe is a concrete of lime, magnesia, silica and potassa, which are all soluble in hot water, and which will precipitate on cooling Fit ages these waters baturated with the above utatertals, have risen by subterra nean force, and deposited layer after later of this composite rock, thus silently build ing thee huge walls to their present height, when the lorce gradually ceased, and the work is now nearly stopped. xueive tunes soutn oi uepuohcan Uity is another ot these elevated craters. It li a targe, conical hill several huu Ired ; a.... .. .. tcet tn circumlerence. Its altitude abavc the Republican river is nearly TXVO HUNDRED AND FIFTY FEET, having the appearance of an extinct vol cano. Within the rim, and covered with me ueons 01 cmrunes arc lound the re- mains of bage mammoths, the mastodon and other extinct races of animals.
