Nor THERE, MY CHLDl- We
were very much surprised to learn
that any one could interpret the lam
guage used last week by the ADvER-
rIsER in reference to the Barnes pros
(per)secution as an intended intima-
tion that the law. firm named as draw.
ing up the information was = party
to the conspiracy against tho defend.
ant which was denounced in tho con.
clusion of the article. We still main.
tain that no fair construction of the
language used will sustain such ,
conclusion, unless it be first admitted
that our attorneys make 3 practice
Of assisting in working up bogu'
prosecutions for the fees which may
accrue. But at the same time VI
are perfectly willing to comply viii
the wishes Of tho legal gentleman b,
stating explicitly that we had NJ
idea or intention of making such
reflection; and further, that We mad
stating simple facts a. to par
ties named and indulging in structure
which in reason could only be ap
piled where they belonged.

Sold Our AND GONE VISITING
Mr.. Luther Bradley, one of the old

stantial and respected citizens of this
county, this week sold his farm to
Mr.. Reuben Owens for $4,000. The
property comprised 24O acres one
mile south of Tipton-for wears known
as the "Bradley farm" Mr.. b. with
his wife and daughter, Mrs. Miller,
started Monday evening for the old
home Of the first named in Maine.

THE GROWING CRors.-The time
of year has arrived when the chronic
croakers always join in chorus Of
dismal howls about crops. Total
failure of this that and the other is
predicted this year as usual, but
there does not seem TO be much
ground therefor except in the case
of wheat. This grain has certainly
been very much damaged almost all
through Iowa, and in some parts Of
adjoining States. There are differ.
ent opinions as to the cause, but by
most authorities the Hessian fly il
held responsible. An exchange de-
scribes this insect as "small nearly
"black two winged fly, which works
"from the ground up inside the stalk
"where the eggs for new army are
"deposited." We are glad to note
| with reference to this locality thai
the latest observations indicate i'm.
provement. Fields which ten days
ago were given up as likely to not b
worth cutting, have materially i'm
proved in appearance.
Corn, hereabouts, is not forwart
for the time of year, but there Is q
yet no especial cause for apprehen
sion. The tops Of the leaves show
the effect of the frost, week ag
Sunday morning, which killed cucum
Der vines and other tender gardel
plants. Oats and barley are both re
ported promising.

getter is first class, and while his re-

for many purses. others are too meagre,
and omit what students usually require

THE FouRTH-A GREAT CROWD
AND A Coon TINE INsuREp.-The
preparations for the forthcoming eel
ebratlon on next Tuesday, the Cen
tennial Fourth of July, have gone on
apace, and at this writing everything
premises finely for grand good time.
Many civic organizations here and
throughout the county have signifed
an intention to be present, and the
attendance Of large number of peo.
pie is assured. The exercises of the
day have been arranged with special
view both to interest and and amuse !;
and the beautiful grass and groves in
both the public squares will furnish
every necessary opportunity for pic
nicing, without banishment to river
water and garter-snakes.
The officers Of the day arc as fol-
lows: President, 5. V. Lsndt; Vice
Presidents - Sewall Cover, Fred
Hecht, B. J. Rodgers, 7. c. Prescott,
w. c. Maley, II. Campbell, Jas.
Wharton, E. A. Gray, Joseph Down

r. B. Smith, J. II. Leech; Marshal
e. G. Crispin; Assistant Marshsls
ID. d. Gano, r. G. Scott, Jno. T.
johnson, Harm Piatt, Jr. The Presi-
dent of the Old Settlers Association,
w. A. Rigby, Esq, will occupy the
chair jointly with Mr.. Landt.
The programme was perhaps suf-
ficiently indicated two weeks ago.
At sunrise the echoes will be walked
by a national salute and the ringing
of all the bells. Until $50 the re.
ception of delegations and organiza-
tions will be in order, each one on
arriving being requested to report to
the Marshal or his assistants. The
Grand Procession will then form on
Cedar ST., head at Third, and make
a short march, ending at the Court
Square, where a large stand and
plenty Of seats will be in readiness
The exercises there, beginning at 1876
and lasting until noon, will have some
very interesting features. Then ir
the afternoon there is the great par
ade of Gideon's Band at three or foul
o'clock. Of course the plans of this
incog. company are profound secrets
but we have heard it limited that they
have not only resurrected certain
personages of the olden time, bu
have also persuaded some of th'
prominent citizens of Upton ant
vicinity to appear in original acts
| A national salute will be fred at sun
down, Immediately after which ther
will be really fine display of ERE

that extra cars will be run on th

Josiah Chase, the miller in Ainley 81
Bobier's new Touring mill, says Sum
days Elko Independent, had his right
arm broken just below the elbow about
two O'Clock p. NJ. yesterday. The ma
chinery had been stopped. and the enl-
ployes of the mill were engaged in
placing a belt upon the pulley and Mr..
Chase was assisting in turning the
main pulley, which carries the belt to
the burrs. The work required consid-
cradle exertion, and Mr.. Chase reached
over between the belt and pulley and
began turning. As soon AS h ma
chinery was thrown off its balance the
little steam remaining i'll the cylinder
expanded, causing the pulley to make
a quick revolution, catching Mr..
Chase's arm beneath the belt. His
arm was carried around the pulley,
and he was thrown to the floor. An
examination by Drs. Fox and Hunting
ton revealed the fact that both bones of
his arm were broken, and that he had
received a cut on the side of the face.
The accident was, as Mr.. Chase ex.
pressed it, the result of pure careless
hess; and had the machinery not been
checked at once sure death would have
been the end of the affair.
The rumor that a heavy flood of wa
'er had been struck in the Justice mine
Is without foundation. The cessation
of work in the Silver Hill has allowed
the water to rise in that shaft and to
come up into the Justice incline to the
lOOO-foot level. AS soon as the Silver
Hill pump is started again, the water
in Justice will 20 down. Silver Hill
has been taking a good deal Of Justice
water all along.
Last Wednesday night John Egan
dropped dead in Franktown. The
cause of his sudden death was con-
