notice.
DURING the Republican primary
election Of 1874, and in the month OF
Nav, we think, the subscription book
of the CITIZEN was stolen from this of
fee. 1t was taken in the evening OF a
Saturday, and was found returned
about noon the next Tuesday in the
coal shed attached to the Office. We
never have certainly known who was
the thief. But we soon did know that
a list of the names in the book had evil
IDENTIFY been transcribed therefrom. 1t
was only surmised where and by whom
this transcribing was done. However,
our subscribers soon began to receive
copies of the Butler Eagle and other
papers and letters in the interest of the
candidate it was then supporting for
the Judge nomination then pending.
From this it was inferred that paper
was at least receiving the benefit of our
list of subscribers
Two years after-iS76-we found
the same thing going on during the
Republican primary of that year. Mr.
Robinson was then a candidate for
a State Senate nomination, and during
the primary we found that nearly all
our subscribers were receiving copies
of his paper or letters from him, fur
nished, as we supposed, from the same
list made from the same stolen mailing
book
During the primary election of this
year we found the same ate of affairs
Mr.. Robinson was again candidate
for Congress this time-and during the
primary we found that nearly all ouT
subscribers had the Eagle sent to them
marked sample copy" and were also
receiving letters from him. These
sample copies" and favors always
ceased very suddenly after the primary
was over, and many were the jokes
and remarks we would hear concerning
them. Why they were sent out, and
why they so suddenly stopped, was
we'll understood and was humorousIy
commented upon very often.
That list, being thus obtained, is the
only full list of the subscribers to this
paper that we have any knowledge of,
or rather that we supposed was ever
made from our books. Whether it was
the list from which the Address to
the Honest Voters" during the late
election was sent, of course we know
not. And as to that address being on
ly received by readers of this paper,
even if true, it proves nothing more
than that all the leading Republicans
of the county take the CITIZEN and
that nothing of that kind could be sent
out through the county without being
sent to its subscribers But we have
heard from some parts of the county in
which it is said every voter, of all par
ties, received that address And while
we really think we should not make
any answer to the continued insinua-
tions of the Eagle, yet we have stated
the above for it's benefit alone. Par
tial lists of our subscribers have been
frequently furnished to Republican can
didates during primary elections, at
their request, and to unable them to
know or communicate with political
friends. This is customary and we pre-
sumo every publisher has often had to
allow this same privilege.

THE Chicago Inter Ocean notes
as a remarkable fact that the men
whom the Republican party have elec-
ted President have all been of humble
origin, and have become distinguished
by their own exertions-the rail split

and the tow-path boy.

THE determination of Mr. Jay Gould
and his associates in the American
Union Telegraph Company to lay two
new Atlantic cables will be welcome
announcement to the business men of
the country. The two existing compa-
MES are virtually one corporation, and
as matter of course the tolls are far
higher than they ought to be. MIR.
Gould, it seems, was willing to 60 in
with the present monopolies, but they
would not let him. When his lines
are laid they will probably change
their minds, and then there will be
chance for another philanthropic capi-
talist.

dows are crowded with every fruit and

New devices to please the children,

the Harmony road at or near Evans

New Hope or billiards, both OF which
we have hopes for in the near future,
then, indeed. will she become a still
more business centre. The business S
now doing in this place is great and IN
creasing. Our merchants seem to have
started out on a more liberal scale OF
trade, and the consequence is that the
farmer comes in from greater distance
and brings with him greater amount
of his produce to sell or exchange.
Hence the activity and prosperity we

IMPURE BREATH.

Among all the disagreeable consequences
that follow the decay of the teeth, an i'm
pure breath must be the most notifying
and unpleasant to its possessor, and it is
the mostinexcusiblea and offensive in society
and yet the cause of it may easily be re-
moved by cleansing your teeth daily with
that Justly popular dentrifrice, Fragrant
SOZODONT. 1t puri6es and sweetens the
breath, cools and refreshes the mouth, and
gives pearl-like appearance to the teeth.
Gentlemen who indulge in smoking should
cleanse their teeth with SOZODONT. as
it removes all unpleasant odors of the weed.
Ask your druggist for it.

An IMPOSITION ON CARsoN.-Capt Noger
and Lieutenant Saffel went down to Reno
yesterday afternoon to ascertain from the
managers of the State Fair if they had really
determined to withdraw the prize put up for
the military drill, and found that such a
course had actually been determined on.
This is done because the Comstock companies
refuse to compete. The Carson Guards have
drilled all summer because such prize was
advertised, and now at the last hour find
themselves left cut in the cold, simply be-
cause they drill SO we'll that nc company in
the State can compete with them. Such is
the reward of patient endeavor and Perfsc.
ton. The Carson Guard are so disguised
with the Fair that they will have nothing to
do with it, and will not enter the shooting
tournament. Their friends will let the Fair
severely alone and in the long run the man
ayers will realize that the saving of the prize
Of 500 was ne. 80 much of saving after all.

TIE ST.. CLAIR MURDER TRIAL.-The trial

TIE ST. CLAIR MURDER TRIAL-The trial
of St Clair for the murder of Tulley at Love
locks on July 28th has begun at Whine.
nucca. The first witness, Thomas Campbell,
said that he was passing Tulley's ranch in a
wagon and heard three shots fired. He saw
St. Clair firing shets. The defendant then
stopped down near the body lying in the road
Soon after that the witness heard another
shot and on going to the spot found Tulley
dead with pistol in his right hand. On
cross examination the witness showed that he
had worked for St. Clair, who at one time
offered him four cows if he would swear that
Tulley had threatened to kill defendant. The
theory of the prosecution is that after St.
Clair killed Talley he went to the latter's
house, got Talley's pistol, fred shot from it
and placed it in the dead mans hand, in order
to make it appear a fight had occurred and
shots been exchanged On both sides.
The jury in the case were kept in the Court
house all Thursday night. During the night
they all emerged on the roof and sang num-
Der of popular songs, to the delight of a crowd
on the street. At the conclusion of the con-
cert the jury was hailed with burst of ap-
plause. The evidence for the prosecution
was not all in on Saturday noon.
