THE following from the Bodie STANDARD IS a
history with plenty of illustrations on this
Coast: "The dead body of a woman was found
this morning about two miles south of Bode,
on the Bridgeport road, lying in the sagebrush
100 yards from the path. The body was iden-
tilted as Madame Dumont-familarly known
as Madame Moustache" in almost every mi
ming camp from Utah and Idaho to California.
She was a French woman, very quiet and in
offensive, but with very strong propensity
for gambling. Her favorite game was GIVEN

person, but wandered to the place mentioned
where with her dead body was discovered

CoNsoLING to the old prophets of ruin of
our National credit and of individual poverty
is this kind of telegram, dated New York,
September 8:
The Assistant Treasurer here writes the
Treasury Department {" There has been no
change in the movement of gold. 1t still con-
tinues to accumulate in our vaults, whilst the
amount of certificates outstanding remain
stationary. There is really no demand for
gold, as it is less convenient than nstes to
handle. Not only the unusual productions
! but the imports, which are likely to be very
large this Fall, will naturally take the same
direction. This accumulation in the stock of
coin in the Treasury, i'll view of the fact that
customs duties are now paid in United States
notes and silver certificates, is conclusive evil
dence of the general belief in the equality Of
these notes and in the permanency of resump-
ton. 1t will soon be necessary to use por
ton of the silver vault for the storage Of
gold"
Granarles all over the land are groaning
with their storage trade is reviving; the
Treasury is overlooking there is dearth in
the East and kalloch is Mayor Of San Fran
cisco, and yet we are not happy.

THE State Fair at Sacramento is said to be
great success this year, and there are an
unusually large number from Nevada in at
tendance; all of whom will remain during the
week, swelling the sacks of hotel keepers and
managers of the Fair; indeed it is half ad
mitted by the Sacramento people that their
success at these State Fairs is in great
measure due to the we'll known liberality and
plethorie purses of the Comstockers; men who
are usually well "heeled" and who keep up
the spirit of the flush times. The Sacramento
papers give full details of the exhibition at
the Pavilion, the stock and the races. The
receipts on Monday were at the Park, 81.
POP 90; Pavilion, $2,67S 80; an advance
over last year of over 800, which makes
good showing for success, military reviews,
pigeon tournaments and races are giving
lively sport to the attendants.

Examiner: 1--WE hope that henceforth we

fight on Democratic principles. And let us
all take an interest in securing good candi
dates. The success of most of our candidates
on the judicial tickets shows two things
That the best talent i'll the legal profession is
to be found in the Democratic party, and,
also, that Democrats will be preferred in any
case by the people when they areas they
ought always to be~-the fttest men in the
lists of candidacy,
This list Of fine Democratic legal knowl-
edge and superior talent, honesty and dignity,
includes Bob Farrell-he calls himself Ferra!
md there are a few others who might be
pointed out as shining lights. "When since
the great food could it be said that the
very best talent of the legal profession was
fund in the Democratic party. They are
at least constitutional" lawyers.

tractors have been paying their workMen in
silver which with the amount paid out by the
Government, has put such an abundance of
silver in circulation to cause some of the
most extreme silver advocates TO complain OF
the overflow. The Sunday Herald, a pro
nounced silver newspaper, calls upon the
Secretary of the Treasury to let the silver re-
main in the Treasury, declaring that there is
not a necessity for it's actual circulation 1t
says no one ever asked to have these dollars
paid ont, and characterizes it as trick-the
method adopted by the Treasury Department
to put silver in circulation. The 11ribunes
special says the Treasury authorities have de-
termined not to receive silver dollars from the
National Banks either on account of the 5
per cent. redemption fund or any other in

Not long since there was the cry of hard

WAS 1T A ROBBERY?

Yesterday a woman called at the residence
of one Of the State officers, requesting Pc
cuniary aid to take her to Bodie. She stated
that her name was Mrs. Lloyd, whose hus-
band some time since fell down the Ophir
shaft and met with a horrible death. Some
of her friends had made arrangements to open a
lodging house at Bodie for her, and vest erday
morning she, with her four fatherless little chill
dren, left Virginia for her new home. On the
trip down here in the cars she had occasion to
leave her seat with one of her children, and
carelessly forgot to take her satchel which
contained 1915 in coin and her baggage
checks, with her. Upon returning to her
seat she found her valuables gone She be-
lieves that the thief must have left the train
Immediately after taking her satchel. She
claimed that she with her children were ut
terly destitute, and were unable to proceed
south without the aid of the charitably in
clined. A reporter inquired of several rail
way officials whether they knew any thing
about this case, and was informed that they
were completely ignorant of the facts. Per
haps the woman in her excited state of mind,
in consequence of her losses, forgot to report
the facts at the railroad office here. Or was
she engaged in confidence game, trying to
get money under false pretenses

THE WHEATLAND HORROR.

| A dispatch to last evenings Chronicle, dated
Wheatland, Cal, June II, gives the following
additional particulars of the late attempted
murder at that place: "Although the town is
more quiet than yesterday, deep feeling of
excitement still prevails in the community
concerning the outrage of Monday night. The
girls, Ida Dunn and Cora Heslep, are more
comfortable this morning. They passed good
night The air is full of rumors, but the Off
GERS are yet without a tangible clue. Every
thing thus far advanced, when dissected, falls
to the ground. A paper to raise reward for
the apprehension of the villain or villains was
started an hour ago. and $500 have already
been subscribed. Papers have also been sent
to Sheridan and Marysville, and it is believed
that before tomorrow morning a reward of
s., 900 will be offered, exclusive of that of
Governor Irwin, who only awaits the report
of the physicians to publish a proclamation
for a reward by the State. The doctors find
no evidence of outrage upon the person of
either of the girls. Fassett, the man who was
arrested in Colusa on suspicion, it appears,
received the blood which stained his clothing
in street fight The negro is still in custody.
He is believed to be innocent. Although
suspicion has cast a shadow on many, it has
been removed under light investigation in
every instance. Parties intend to search the
river bed this afternoon, as it is believed that |
the man who carried Ida out may have got |
rid of some of the clothing on which was the
blood of his victims. Roddan feels confident
that he can recognize the man he saw at the
window if he sees him again. He thinks
here we're more than one engaged, but the
general impression is that there one"

prison pen during the last years of the

the eighteen trenches contain no
fewer than LOO men, buried pro-

trees. A neat lodge has been erected at
the main entrance, over which the na-
tional colors arc daily displayed in fine

obelisk of New Hampshire granite, thirty
six feet ten inches in hei ght, is from a
design by Mr.. Augustus Van Cleef, Of

$4,000. The unknown names Of the
