MUsH CHALLEHGE.-Th Ashland IL
din9s of the fth. says. II the victorious
man in the mush>eating contest at Trni-
ty Center, Cal, to-day, will communi.
cate with us. we shall endeavor to arrange
an inter state mush eating contest for tive
championship. We have man in Jack
son county whom we will put against the
world. Bro. Nixon, of the Journal,
knows of one man this side of the Siski-
you whom he has said can eat more mush
than any Californian, and still live, but
Casey can teat enough to take the edge off
the appetite of our mush man.
The above we clip from the Yreka
journal and suggest that the parties in
interest apply to our good friend Mrs.
Hall, of the Trinity Center Hotel, who
we are informed "got away with the
mush." She, however, explained to us
that inadvertly she had caused ,he dish
containing the meal to be taken from the
picnic ground, and consequently the
combat didn't take place. The Web>
footers mush MT brag too much, though,
or Trinity Center will pick them up
won't you A lex ?

PoL1TIcAL.-Last Sunday we spent in
Trinity Center, and, although not on a
pollical mission, naturally talked politics
to nearly all whom we met. Republi
their Party nominations and will vote
the State Ticket straight, without excep-
ton. Democrats are not satisfied with
the State nom inees of their party, the
Governor and one or two others being
particularly Objectionable. More than
ene Democrat informed us that they
would not support Dr.. Glenn, and while
some will not vote for Perkins others will
do so. As to the local candidates we
talked little, we'll knowing that Trinity
County voters are not governed entirely
by politics in their choice for County Of
flccrs, but usually favor those whom they
deem to be the best men for the places.
AS the Center IS largely Republican it is
probable the candidates on that ticket
will each receive handsome majority
there. At Minersville, we founed the
same state of opinion on the State Ticket.
Politically this precinct is decidedly Dem
ocratic and WILL doubtless favor the nom
inees of that party. Cinnabar and Cof
fee Creek are said to be about equally d.,
vided politically. Everywhere lively
interest is being taken in all that pertains
to the election, and larger vote is pre-
dcted this time than for several years
past.

Big SHowER-It rained quite hard
for time last Sunday at this place and
also at Trinity Center. No rain Mt all at
Minersville directly between the above
towns. or course the sun shines alike on
the just and the unjust, but it would ap
pear that Summer showers only vis
those localities which give Republican
majorities. Would suggest to the Min>
ersvile boys that they change their poll
ties if they want any o. these special ia

SAD AFFAIR.-On Wednesday of last
week boy named Pat Gordon, of Shasts,
was out cunning with boy of Melon
aids nj the 4 mile house, when Mes boy
acc dentally shot young Gordon in the
thigh inAicling painful but not danger
ous wound. Thinking he had killed Pat,
the boy-14 years of age-took to the
brush and re loading his rife shot him
sel through the head causing immediate
death. Though searched for by his
parents and friends he was not found un
til the following day. 1t seems that the
boy, knowing of the recent hanging OF an
Indian in Shasta. feared that he had kill.
ed the other boy and would be hanged
for it.

PASSED MUsTER.-Th many friends
Of Hon. r. E. Jones will be more than
pleased to learn that on Monday last he
was admitted to pract ice in all the Courts
of this State by the Supreme Court Of

wish Of all Republicans and many Dem
ocrats in this county tina: Mr.. Jones
should succeed in this examination, 70"
it is we'll understood that he will be
placed in nomination by the Republican
County Committee for the important of
fee Of Superior Judge of Trinity county.
His well known ability and standing in
this community not only entities him to
the support of good citizens of all parties
but insures his success in the coming
election. In the examination he is said
to have surpassed the most sanguine eX>
pcctations of his friends and did much
better than many others who were exam
ined at The same time.

GRAND CELEBRATIoN. From all we
could gather at Trinity Center last week,
we judge the Fourth Of July celebration
at that place was one of the grandest af-
fairs of that character which has ever
taken place in Northern California. The
extensive programme was carried out ms
advertised and gave the greatest satsfac-
ton to the large assemblage in attend
ance. The pa rade of Horribles and Grand
Indian War Dance by original Natives
are very highly praised. The Ball in
the evening was one of the most pleasant
that ever occurred and taken ms whole
the Fourth of July passed off very satis-
tactorily 20 the people of Trinity Valley
and the many who visited them from
other sections. When the people there
or elsewhere get up another celebration,
we hope some one viii. take the trouble
to write Us full account Of the proceed
