OuR FouRrH.-It is not very likely
that any large portion of this community
will have a great amount of time to spend
reading a repetitive rhapsody on the day
we celebrate. Notwithstanding, how
ever, we shall have our little say. In
the first place, the gala appearance of
our city tonight 1--WE are writing yester-
day. would denote to anybody that to-
morrow is to be a grand festival. There
is "a flush of Banners, waving in the
gentle breeze, from porehes and flag
stats. Evergreens give a fresh and
ornate appearance to many of our public
and private houses; and the plaza is
decked and decorated for the great NOR
row. The stand swells in all its wealth
of vernal embroidery, and the Car of
State stands in full and gorgeous view.
SO much for (this) last evening. Now
for to-day. At ten O'Clock this morning,
the procession will move in the order
laid down in the programme. Every
parade horse in town has been engaged,
and every available vehicle will be
pressed into service. On arriving at the
stand, the Grand Marshal will pass over
the celebrating host to the President of
the Day. Governor Stephen Miller, when
the exercises will be observed in the fol-
lowing order: /. Introductory remarks
by the President. 2. Music by the band.
3. Prayer. 4. America, sung by the
White Pine Philharmonics. 5. Reading
of the Declaration of Independence by
Mr.. Kittrell. 6. Music by the band,
and the Star Spangled Banner sung
by the Philharmonics. Z. The reading
of Mrs. Williamson's poem by Mr.. Ayers.
s.. Our Land is Free sung by the Phil

Frank Tilford. 10. Joy, joy, Freedom
To-day, by the Philharmonics. IL. Ben
ediction. There will be salutes fired at
sunrise, ut noon and at sunset, and fire
works in the evening.
ASTONISHING I%GNoRANcE OF CURRENT
HIsroRY.-Mr. b. II. Hereford has got
the Fourth of July Decorating Commit
tee into a ludlcrous mistake by her igno-
rance of current political history. As
she was considered authority on all
points relnting to congressional matters,
the committee took it for granted that
when she included Colorado among the
Territories admitted TO State fellowship,
it was SO. A banner for Colombo was
therefore painted. and the lady has in
effectuully tried to trace the error to us.
In order. however. that the said banner
shall not be lost, we have secured an In
dian delegation from that Territory. who
will bear it in triumph to-day.
UNFORTUNATE INDIAN. An Indian who
was engaged in digging into a bank on
the road, near the Big Smoky mill, on
Saturday, met with a very serious acct
dent. A large body Of earth suddenly
toppled over, and before the injured
Shoshone could escape, it caught his
right leg. and fell upon it with crushing
force. The limb WAS very badly smashed.
The victim was carried to the Old Court
house building. and Mr.. Gheen. the In
dian agent, Immediately summoned sur
geons Thoma and Deal, who. assisted by
DIR, Herrick, amputated the member Just
below the knee. He is very low, the
poor Indian.
S-HERNASrowN. - There will be two
Fourth of July arbors on the picnic
grounds to-day-one where a spread will
be made for all celebrators, without fee

en- regle. We note that Mrs. Maupin has

There will be a horse race at four in the
afternoon between Watson's b. IN. and

CELEBRATION AT PISTo.-Pinto is not
to be outdone in patriotic demonstration
by Hamilton OF any other camp. A
grand celebration will be held ut the
American Eagle mine, and several kegs
OF lager and baskets of wine have been
sent for to wash down the glorious occa-
sion. The exercises on the dump will
consist of the reading of the Declaration

hWhAhAh iRohhfhAs- VIC bNNt tut luI-
t~iculars of a robbery of amalgam at one
of our mills, and the subsequent detec-
ton of the rohber by Deputy Marshal

made. In the meantime, the party to
whom the amalgam has been traced will
celebrate the Fourth in a dank and lonely
cell.
