J. P. SQUIRE. THE Republican Senatorial conven tion meets in this city , Thursday of nest week , September 9th. OUR ambitious young friend Ashwill of the Stratton Herald , in a recent issue , assayed to climb up unto the stalwart forms of Supt. Campbell , Representa tive Hocknell and other prominent citi zens of our city , armed with the rod of castigation. While we are forced into a species of admiration for the young journalist's sand , we conceive that there is an evident lack of the twin quality sense. TELEGRAPHIC reports bring us the news of a severe earthquake all over eastern part of the country. Cliafles- ton , S. C. . the information at hand goes , is leveled by the earth's convulsions , many being killed and injured. Com munications with the city are entirely cut off. MONTE CARLO has had a very suc cessful season with her gambling hells , this year. Seventy-sis persons have committed suicide since spring opened. They always give a man who has drop ped his pile , a railroad ticket to go away with , so that he can kill himself in a pleasanter spot , and all but the seventy-six used the tickets. They wouldn't waste any time in travel. THE incredulity of Secretary Bayard regarding the reported disgraceful con duct of Envoy Sedgwick in the City of Mexico , will be removed by the dis patch of the American consul , stating that Sedgwick was found helplessly drunk in a disreputable house. The sense of humiliation of the American representatives and citizens in Mexico will be shared by all their countrymen. THE Democrat swings out its last fall tune of towu against town , in the hope that it may create another disaf fection in the republican ranks as it did then. Republicans beware of the vi per the snake in the grass the rene gade republican who is a democrat for revenue this is the season of the year when it must earn its salary , and it does it by appealing to the lowest hu man passions to accomplish its wicked purpose. Indianola Courier. THE seven anarchists in jail will not feel that they have been singled out for lonesome martyrdom. Detectives are after the rest of the murderous gang , and-some have been arrested. Others are spotted. This is right. Liberty does not belong to them. They would destroy it , and for the safety of the people they must be restrained. There is a woman by the name of Parsons who should not be overlooked. Gallantry is out of place on the part of a detective. THAT Hon. James Laird will re ceive the nomination for Congress , this fall , by acclamation , seems to be the case beyond a peradventure. His pop ular course during the last session of congress , has added greatly to his sup port in the district , and more especial ly in the western part of the same. Some of his most pronounced and ac tive enemies during the last campaign are now his most ardent supporters. His evinced interest in the homesteader , as against Commissioner Sparks' un reasonable and outrageous and unlaw ful rulings , has placed them in the front rank of his supporters , while the general sentiment of his constituents , whose welfare has been uppermost in the Congressman's activities , is : "Well done , good and faithful servant. ' " ' NORTH DIVIDE DOTS. 0 A few drops of rain on Friday. it is said that there is to be a wedding hi this neck of the woods before long. Broom com harvesting has commenced , with the prospect of a very line crop. Will Hanlein is laid up with a bad case of oak poison. Xo wonder the base ball club were beaten. Haying is progressing finely , although the canyons do not yield as well as usual , still the hay is of better quality. Quite a number of North Divideites attend ed the picnic given by the Ox Orient base ball club of Box Elder , on last Saturday. A pleasant time is reported by all. Walter Hickliug and sister , Mrs. Wm. T. Johnson , returned from Kansas on Sunday last , where they have been visiting their parents and looking after Walter's claim. Ike Johnson and Charley Poyser returned from the east , a few days ago. They found work as scarce as it was at home. Of course Miss H. and Becky are happy again. Capt. A. T. King is the champion melon raiser of these parts. Ye local helped to eat a watermelon at his place on Sunday last , that weighed 37 pounds , and measured 4 feet 5 inches in circumference. How is that for the great desert. JASOK. -Mc morning. September 1st , 1886. by Bev. W. S. Wheeler , of the M. E. Church , Mr. F. C. Fowler , of Denver , Colo. , to Miss Minnie McConnell , of this city. The marriage was a quiet one , only a few of the most ultimate friends being present. The young people were the recipients of a number of handsome and useful presents at the hands of relatives and friends. STRAYED.

PLEASANT RIDGE GOSSIP. Mrs. Wilson Is quite poorly. Base ball , Saturday afternoons , has been and still continues to be in order. Mr. Wallers has been on the sick list for the past week , and is not much better yet. BORN Aug. 13th , to Mr. aud Mrs. Wal ters , a daughter. Mother and child doing well. well.We We were pleased to see Mr. and Mrs. Har ris at Sunday school and preaching last Sab bath. Hope they will come often. Mrs. Adams missed Sunday school , last Sabbath , on account of sickness. She is among the most faithful in attendance. Miss Pinuey spent Sunday on her home stead. Siie is to have a new house built , next week. It will be somewhat imbedded in the earth. The weather continues hot , with an occas ional shower ; enough to keep things grow ing and the poor homesteader from losing courage. Miss Bertha E. Lincoln is expected to ar rive in the neighborhood , soon , and will teach the "young idea" at Yailton , the com ing six months. We were truly sorry to part from our friend and minister , Rev. Spangler , who will go next week to Ohio , where he will finish his course of study. We predict for him a bright future. ; Some one ought to see after Charley Pate ; 1 we fear he has gone astray. His amiable countenance has not been visible at Sunday school for several weeks past. While making some repair on the sand point of his pump , C. H. Pate had the mis fortune to drop 65 feet of the pipe into the well , which could not be got out. He has since put in a new pump , we understand. Z. Y. X. SOUTH SIDE LOCALS. Now is the tune for a man to invest in real estate on the South Side. Joe Mundal has returned from Curtis , this time to stay. He reports work on the rail road finished there for the present. Tim Hanau is bi caking bronchos. He is rather lightweight for the business , but seems to be putting in good work. It is reported that there is a coal mine in this vicinity. From the specimens we should say reports are pretty correct. Bully for the coal mine. Uxo. YOU TAKE NO CHANCES when you buy Chamberlain's Colic , Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy.
