Although Kesrneyism has b,

Although Kesrneyism has been
crushed out as a result Of the recent
election, the San Francisco Committee
of Two Hundred is not yet satisfied
with its work. It proposes to keep up
its organization and to bring to punish
ment all the leaders of the disturbing
element In the city. Steps have al
ready been taken to bring Mayor Kali
loch before the bar Of justice to answer
for misuse Of his authority and incen-
diary language. The German Social
list Sleinman and the woman Smith,
both prominent in the recent disturb
ances, are kept under close surveil-
lance, and are to be turned over to the
mercies Of the law as soon as Kalloch's
case 10 disposed of. The plan seems to
be to give the Agitators 8 lesson that
they will not soon forget. Already tire
best results have followed the convic-
ton of Kearney and the elections, and
business, which for some months had
been parslyzed, is rapidly improving.
Confidence has been restored with the
restoration OF law and order, and in .
short time II is expected that the city
will recover its lost prosperity.

Pilot Knob Pickings.

A strange and funny accident occurred here
last week. As one OF the cars were ascend
ing the tramway, the rope wore roller into
two parts and threw one of them on the rail.
A man named Bowman, was riding up in the
car At the time. There were several ties in
the car which were about 70 feet long. They
were little longer than the car, and one end
was in the lower end Of the car and the other
end WAS hanging over the upper end OF the
car. Well, the man Bowman was standing on
the ties leaning against the iron which holds
the door OF the car In place. The piece OF
roller was thrown on the rail just in time to
make the car jump the track as It was going
pretty fast It ran OF the track into the woods.
Tho end Of tho ties that were hanging over
the car, struck on the lower side of limb on
. tree, consequently throwing the other end
hieh In the cir. and also threw the man about
90 II. over the tops Of the saplings. He was
not hurt but / suppose he was scared little.

Our old and respected friend DR.. n. Thomas,
of Belleview, came into our sanctum last Mon
day, and we had long and pleasant chat with
him. The DR.. has 1abored Tor fifty years in
his profession, and, although hale and hearty
yet, we think he might retire with honor from
active duty. When he came to Belleview, the
country was s'new.s' with human habitations
few and far between, and he has lived to see
the waste places made glad with thriving
farms, and towns grown up where forests
stood. He is verify patriarch, and like them
Of old, stands high in the esteem and rever-
ence of all who know him. May his eighty
years lengthen out until the hundred DO left
far in the past.

ed, educated, and my life's labors performed
within its boundaries, and have thus had OPP
portunities to learn and know the wants Of
the people. and while have an experience of
twenty-five years as practitioner at the bar
yet feel that Judge should possess higher
and better qualifcations-some of which

the generous impulses of your hearts than
the exercise of judgement
/ certainly am not insensible of the honor

to my entire fitness for the bench, yet I do
not feel at liberty to disregagard SO substan-
tial q call as you have made upon me; and II
the Democracy of this circuit should ratify
your call by nominating me for the office of

next November by the people at the polls, /
will assume the responsibilities Of the office
and perform its duties to the fullest extent of
ny ability. II should have the honor to
each this high, noble and responsible posi-
ion, may l not hope by the aid OF the people |
md the bar to hold the scales of justice in
,qual poise, not deviate from "the law and |

Minister justice tempered by mercy without |
ear partiality, favor or affection, alike to the

y faithfully and honestly. Again thanking |
