THE FIRST DEVIL HEARD
FROM
LONE Rock, Nov. 10Th, ISL

LONE hOCh, NOV. l9tl, 1880.
Editor Kenosha Telegraph:
DEAR SIR have been thinking for
a few days of my early boyhood days.
I have heard that some one in Kenosha
has been publishing the history of Ke
nosha from it's commencement. l
would like to get hold of it, as my
father was one Of the first settlers
there and l have been away for many
years. [ cannot help but thinking
of the time when we first reached
what is now the city of Kenosha. NV
father started from the state of New
York with one pair Of horses to make
the long trip to the Northwestern Ter
ritory in the month of September, 1885.
After 81 days of tiresome travelling we
reached Pike Creek, as it was then
known, by what few there was looking
TO the far west. Several things that
happened at that time come fresh to
my memory. Being a boy of only s
years old, cannot remember all; but
still some things | never can forget. I
remember one thing-that was the
first Devil to the Kenosha TELE-
GRAPH. | carried the paper to what
few subscribers there was at that time
Vol. /, No. l, of what is now known
as the Kenosha TELEGRAPH. If you
can procure for me this history l
would like to get one, also l would
like to get one copy of your paper, and
compare it with the one | have in my
memory of early days. Please send me
the price of history and l will remit
to you. Yours truly,
A. w. TOWsLEY,
Son of Warters ToWsley.

A bill is before the Senate authoriz.
ing the issue of fractional currency
and providing for its exchange and
redemption, Fractional currency is
especially convenient for sending small
amounts in letters. It's use now, how
ever, would drive out silver change,
and by lessening the demand for silver
would probably depreciate it's value.
For this reason it is not likely the bill
will become law.

On next Monday occurs the adjourn
ed annual meeting of the county Agri-
cultural Society. The election of Off
GERS for the coming year is an important
matter, and the meeting should be
largely attended, both by farmers and
the business men of the city. Both
classes are benefited by the society.
The objects of the society are to i'm
prove agriculture, manufactures and
the arts. There is not the shadow of
a doubt but the society accomplishes
its objects. And when agriculture,
manufactures and the arts prosper, as
they do by improvement, trade and in
dustry thrive, so that all classes receive
a benefit from the society. Now, fellow
citizen, do not shirk the duty of at
tending the meeting next Monday at
the Grant House. Do not say there
will be enough there withoutme. Your
presence is needed. Because your
neighbor does his duty is no reason
why you should neglect yours, Go,
and your neighbor will be glad to see
You there, and you will be glad to see
him. When large number manifest
their interest by attending the meet
lngs all are encouraged and enthusiasm
is aroused. Besides the election of
officers, the meeting will consider the
adoption of a new constitution. This,

THE STATE ELECTION.
Official Majorities The Electoral
Vote of Lander and Nye Coun-
ties Excluded.

From the Carson Times of Nov. 30th
The State Board of Canvassers met yes
terday and examined the election returns
so far as received from the several coun-
ties in the State. No returns were received
from Nye county, owing to the gross and
inexcusable neglect of the county's Com
missioners, and no certificate was received
from Lander county. Both counties were
therefore excluded, and had the vote of
the State been closer the result of the ex-
clusion might nave been a victory for Gar
field. In the Elko county returns the
name of j. G. McTarnahan was spelled
M~cFarnahan. Washoe county's Clerk re-
turned the name Of o. H. Gray as @. H.
Gey, and also gave Martins initials as E.
E. instead Of L. A.. With the exception Of
Ormsby and Elko counties, the vote for
Electors was included with that Of the re-
mainder of the ticket. Minor faults could
be passed over, but not such glazing err
rors Ct omission as shown in the case OF
Lander and Nye counties. There can be
no good excuse for such delay and inaccu-
racy. Each county in the State was long
since supplied with twenty-five copies of
the election law, which expressly provides
that the vote for Electors for President
and Vice-President of the United States
shall be canvassed on the fourth Monday
after such election is held. The following
is the total vote by counties and the vari-
GUS maiOrities:

fBy Telegraph to the SENTINEL
LONDON. December "A st. Petersburg
dispatch announces that Russia has under
consideration the necessary steps for CON
verting Batroum into a free port; also, that
England has submitted proposals to the
Powers for the maintenance OF European
concert of action, with a view of the set
Element Of the remaining provisions of the
Treaty Of Berlin.
A Berlin dispatch says Prince Hohen-
lobe, the German ambassador to France,
goes to Paris on Wednesday.
Count de St. Waller, the French EN-
bassador at Berlin, gave a banquet last
night to Prince Hohenlohe. After the re-
turn of the two ambassadors from a visit
to Bismarck. at Friedrichsrue, where it is
believed the plan of action formulated by
Bismarck for the European control of the
Eastern question, was discussed, and Ho-
henlobe instructed to consult the French
Government on a definite proposition for
dealing with the Greek question.
A dispatch from Athens says Radowitz,
the German Minister, remains here six
months longer, which shows Bismarck's
anxiety to keep Greece well in hand. But
his influence cannot prevent war unless
Turkey yields coded territory.
At a meeting of the committee in further
ance of the Greek cause, at Willis's Rooms,
this afternoon, the Earl of Roseberry pre-
siding, resolutions were passed urging the
British Government to make strenuous
efforts to assure the cession of territory
recommended by this conference. Letters
of sympathy were received from the Duke
of Westminster. Lord Aberdeen, Bishops
of Exeter, Manchester and Oxford, and
nearly 800 members of Parliament, and
Professor Max Muller, Herbert Gladstone,
and others.

Kansas enjoys the distinction Of being
the only truly temperance State in the
Union. At the recent election the peo-
Pile Of that commonwealth, by an over
whelming majority, adopted an amend
ment to the State Constitution forever
prohibiting the manufacture or sale of
intoxicating liquors, except for medical
purposes. This is the most advanced
cold water step taken by any community
in this country. The result will be
watched with interest. The Sacramento
Bee alluding to this subject, says:
At the late election there was submitted
to the voters Of Kansas an amendment to
the Constitution Of the State f~orbidding
forever the manufacture or sale of intoxi-
eating liquors, except for medical. mechan-
ical or scientific purposes. han this
nothing could be more prohibitory, and
the Legislature will Of course make laws
providing penalties for the punishment Of
those who disobey this clause Of the Con-
stitution. But can these laws be enforced
and made effective? Those who opposed
the adoption Of this amendment argued
that it would prevent. to a large extent,
the German immigrant from settling in
the State, that it would destroy capital in
vested in the manufacture OF liquors. etc.
The friends of the measure contended that
q majority Of the people had a right to
protect themselves against the acknowl-
edged evils of drunkenness, that a pro-
hibitory law would attract to the State the
best class Of immigrants. and that the
savings from intemperance would vastly
outweigh the losses from prohibition. The
amendment was adopted by q wonderfully
large majority, and time alone can test he
wisdom or unwisdom Of the majority.

There has been q general closing down

prospects are that nearly all Of them are

possible that the Woodwork tat Dayton)
may start up again in the spring. but it is
doubtful. The Omega mill, in Seven-mile
canyon, blew its last whistle this morning,
and the men quit work for good. The
Omega has been working the old Curry
and bonanza tailings. but these no longer
pay expenses. The Mariposa mill at the
north end, which has been working the
tailings from the Sacramento mill. will be
closed tomorrow permanently. There
were about 225 men employed in all the
mills. who are now thrown ont of work,
which will make this winter . hard one for
the w~orkingmen Of the Comstock. The
bonanza people say they would keep the
mills in operation II they could make even

the tsilings are worked out, and where
there are any left they will not pay the

A Big Rock.

Probably the largest rock in the known
world is the South Dome Of the Yosemite.
Standing at the fork Of the upper valley,
it rears itself, a solid, rocky loaf, 5000 feet
above the ground. A more powerful hand
than that Of Titan has cut away the east
ern half leaving a sheer precipice over a
mile in hight. No man ever trod the top
Of this dome until last year. Former
visitors gazed in wonder at the spikes
driven into the rock by hardy spirits who
had repeatedly endeavored to scale it. The
shreds of rope dangling in the wind told
the story of their failure. Last year, how
ever. after thousands of dollars had been
expended, several persons found their way
to the top Of the dome, and this summer
two sheep were found browsing on the
hitherto inaccessible peak.
