THE OHIO ELECTION.

The Ohio election takes place to-day, sure ;
no mistake this time. The State, judging
from the past, is Republican by a safe major
ity, but the appearance of the Greenback
party on the scene renders very unsafe any
estimate based upon the records of past cleo
TONS. The Greenbackers of Ohio were of
formidable proportions only a short time ago,
but, if the press dispatches are to be credited,
they have lately deserted in large numbers to
the ranks of one or the other of the old par
ties, the result in Maine having destroyed all
hope of the triumph of their party anywhere
in a reasonably near future. If those reports
are to be credited, there is a strong probable
ity that Ewing, the Greenback Democrat, will
prove the peoples choice instead of Foster,
the hard-money Republican, and representa-
tive of that faction of the party which in New
York is led by Mr.. A. B. Cornell. That Fos-
ter will have a majority over both Democrats
and Greenbackers, is extremely unlikely, and
since by far the greater number of the latter
were originally Democrats, any detection

too close at hard for it to be worth while in
dulging in much speculation concerning it, so
we may as well await the returns. 1t is far
from being a matter of certainty, though, OH
which side victory Will be reported. With
nearly 100000 votes in the State, recent cleo
lions have been carried one way or the other
by majorities ranging from six to ten thous:
and, altogether too close in so vast a number,
for any one unacquainted with local is
sues and local feeling to attempt any predic-
ton concerning the verdict to be registered
to-day. The Inter- Ocean, one of the Repub-
lican heavy-weights, claims the State tor Fos-
ter by a majority of $4,000, and also that the
Legislature will be Republican. We shall

will lack of fulfillment.

A Noble .Jackass.

John A. Rockefeller writes from Arizona to
a friend in this city an account of the follow
ing amusing adventure he recently had with
a cinnamon bear: Last night | was coming
up the Santa Cruz valley, eighteen miles be-
low. l was riding a buro (jackass), but on
coming to a very steep hill d~ismounted, and
was slowly walking up, when l came on an
immense cinnamon bear, less than twenty
feet away. Of course to run was out of the
question, so I stood and eyed the old fellow,
and he stood and eyed me as I slowly pulled
out my six shooter from the holster. Old
bear hunters say 1t isn't safe to tackle a Gin
namOn with a rifle carrying less than seventy
grains of powder, and then give him a dead
shot, as the cinnamOns are worse than the
grizzlies. | did not have my rifle with me,
and as my six shooter uses only twenty-three
of powder, l concluded l was not looking for
a fight unless the bear was. Whatever his
intentions were l don't know; but my buro,
which was some distance behind, just then
caught sight of him, and, instead of. running
away as one would expect, started for Mr..
Bruin with tail and ears erect, and to cap the
climax commenced to bray. This was too
much, and the old bear started as if he were
shot out of a gun he Just tore up the ground,
and when he couldn't run fast enough he
rolled down the mountain side. Old Baalam
has played that trick on me before when l
have been trying to get up on a deer, and l
have always pounded him for it, but last
night l concluded to give him a leather medal.

Sound Advice.

Our Nevada exchanges are noting the large
increase in the number of arastras in opera
ton in the State this year. Prospectors in
quartz in Montana will do we'll to pattern
after their brethren of the Sage Brush State
in this respect. These works cost but little,
and almost invariably save a larger proper
ton of the precious metals than the more
costly stamp mills. In fact, the expense of
erecting one of them is so little, that there are
few men who could not put one on or near
their mines, and, by. so doing, make money in
the time which they now spend in hanging
around and waiting tor somebody to buy their
property. If we had more of these handy
little concerns in our quartz districts, our
miners would be getting rich, the country
would be increasing in population and wealth,
and, every time a sale was effected, it would
be for a good price, instead of the -idiculously
low figures at which most of the prospectors
dispose of their discoveries. If the owners
of quartz mines cannot get a mill they should
by all means pnt up all a~rastra, ard make
them worth something -Madisonian.

Execution OF KOble and Marsh. the Far
reIl Murierers.

The execution of Joseph K. Koble and
Orlando II. Marsh for the murder of Patrick
Farrell at Fort Benton, on the night OF Feb
ruary 18th, 1879, took place in the Jail yard of
the County Jail on Monday, the 9th inst.
The death warrants were read within the
Jail, and when the Sheriff had concluded,
Koble put on his coat as readily as if he were
merely going to Inner. The two men
assembled the scaflold with a firm step and
submitted to the usual preliminaries without
d tremor. When asked If they had anything
to say, Marsh replied in the tewest words pos
sible to the effect that he was quite innocent
Of the crime for which he was about to suffer.
KOble, with a pleasant smile illuminating his
rather handsome cOuntenance, said that he
wished to deny the report that he intended to
make a c~nfession upon the gallows, or that
he had requested a communication of sentence.
He then shook hands with the SheritfS, and
thanked them for their kindness. Marsh also
shook hands with the SherifiS, bidding them
"good by" When the ropes were adjusted
koble requested to have his drawn pretty
tight" and when this request was complied
with, he quietly said, Slap it to me-" All
being then in readiness, the trap fell. Koble
died without a struggle or the movement of a
muscle. and with the exception of a few con-
vulslve heaves of the chest, Marsh gave no
evidence of suffering. The bodies were
taken o at the end of half an hour, and
after a careful examination DR.. Wheelock
announced that both necks were broken. No
men could meet their fate more Dravely, and
certainly none could have died with less ap-
pearance of pain.-BentOn Record, 10th.

If you w any real estate in town put

dams have resorted to artiticially constructed
breastworks as a preparation for standing a
regular seige. To attack suddenly and in
overwhelming numbers from ambush, or to

behind rocks, trees, Or other natural objects,
would be in strict keeping with the Indian

The question to present itself to many is
Was all that talk about divorce aid SO on,
merely baseless scandal? Or was there a
foundation for it; and is it likely that sundry

Langtry to testify as above? If it can be
shown that, as commonly reported, he did
make money by the sale of his wife's pictures
the latter query is the one apt to receive an

photographers for a commission OH the sales

such unwifely conduct that her husband had
filed his petition for divorce, mentioning the
Prince Of Wales, Lord L~ondesberg, and
Lord Lonsdale as the correspondents in his

a strange effect of a regularly established
and successful industry is to be noticed in the
price of ostrich feathers. When the society
belle depended for her head-gear upon the
skill of the bare-legged Bushman hunter,
feathers were comparatively cheap. But as
soon as the plan of raising the birds on ''farms"
was found to be feasible and profitable, the
demand for them became very great, and
with this demand came a sympathetic rise in
the price OF plumes until now, when they
quote prime at $3.50 per pound.
