ant. After leaving Hamilton the snow
extends about aen miles, commencing
again before reaching Mineral City and
extending to Ward City. The stages
and bucRboards are loaded down with
freight and passengers all anxious to get
to ward or elsewhere, and it requires
the utmost exartIOns of Jack and Fred
d!!.ner to keep the stages on proper
time. Both are busiIy engaged in driv-
ing and showing the stages through.
When we met them at Robinson neither
one had enjoyed sleep for three nights
and were both about to make another
trip. After reaching Prairie's ranch the
road to Phoebe is free from snow and in
good order and the regulation time is
made.

minutes, when after the patient sneezes
a number of times, the troublesome
symptoms rapidly disappear.
ancies appearing in to.day's RECORD
must be attributed to our recent return
and the numerous Understandings which
we had to endure, causing the said men,
Der OF the body to become almost useless
for few days. We also had the "siu-
cere' congratulations of all the candi-
dates on both sides on our safe arrival;
that was enough. it settled the whole
business. But seriously speaking, we
are pleased to be with the people of
Phoebe once more. and only wish that
the business of the town had justified
more OF them staying in it.
DENIAL. F. O'Halloran says in this
mornings RECORD that he is not men,
Der OF any secret organization in this
place, and furthermore, that any man
who says he is, is liar. He would
have done this sometime ago but could
trace the charge to no reliable source.
He would rather be beaten honorably
than elected dishonorably but naturally
disiikes to have the double cinch" put
on him.

orally considered necessary to have an
