SPEAKING of the Delegate question, the
Madisonian says our remark that "the De-
moci acy will not have SO strong candidate
next time" Is sborn Of a wish that's father
TO the thought" and that "the Democracy
will tfot out some terrible husky fellows to
run against" The Rirer Press says: "If
Major Maginnis does not enter the lists he
will have something to say about who shall
succeed him. Doubtless the Major can come
as near telling as any one. Choteau county
will stand for the man who will represent
her interests at the national capital" And
yet there is nothing very definite in all this,
which comes of a desire of the Press to see
photograph of the next Delegate. Perhaps
Il would be rs we'll to defer the photo hunt
till next season. The U. p. and N. p. r. X.
Cos. may have their cameras leveled up by
that time, and IL Is not improbable they will
insist on putting picture or two on exhibit

THE PRESIDENTS PHYSICIANS.

Our readers will glance with pleasure ~
the portraits and brief biographies which we
here present of some of the distinguished sur
geons and physicians who have been in at
tendance on the wounded President.
DIR. Willard Bliss, in charge, was born at
Auburn, New York, in 1926. He graduated
at the Medical College, Cleveland, in 1876 ;
and after practicing at Iona and Grand Rap
ids, in Michigan, he removed to Detroit
shortly before the breaking out of the rebel
lion. When hostilties commenced he was
commissioned Surgeon of the Third Michi-
gan Volunteers, and was in charge OF the
division field hospital Mt Bull Run. Subse-
guently some of the most important medical
trusts of the campaign We're handed over to
his skill and patriotism, both of which he
evinced in marked degree, and sometimes
under the most trying circumstances, having
frequently had charge of 1900 to $4,000 pa
tients. On the organization of the Board of
Health of the District of Columbia, he was
appointed one of its members, and was after
wards elected its President. Subsequently
the Medical Society of the District placed
itself in opposition to him, because, rs was
alleged, he was the discoverer and abettor of
the famous cure for cancer, "cundurango,"
which the society thought proper to denounce
rs a quack medicine. DIR. Bliss, who resides
in Washington, was the first physician to ar
rive at the sid, of the wounded President.
On perceiving how desperate the case was,
he at once desired chat Surgeon-General
Barnes and surgeons j. w. Woodward and
Basil Norris, of the army, should be instantly
summoned; also, Drs. Hamilton, of New
York, Agnew, of Philadelphia, and Rey-
burn, of Washington, were called in subse-
quently, and all those we have just named,
save DIR. Norris, compose the distinguished
medical staff on duty at the White House,
Dr. Bliss, Surgeon-Gencral Barnes and DIR.
Norris were among the physicians sum-
moned to the bedside of Abraham Lincoln,
and were witnesses of the illustrious martyrs
last moments.
Brevet Lieutenant Colonel Joseph Janiver
Woodward, Surgeon United States Army,
wa born in Philadelphia in 1882, and gradu'
ated fror the University of Pennsylvania in
1853 He practiced medicine in his native
city until 1861, when he was appointed As
sistant-Surgeon in the regular army, having
previously distinguished himself in his pro-
fession and rs an author, and the inventor OF
an instrument for determining with mathe-
NAUTICAL accuracy the myoptic or other condi'
lions of the eye. In 1866 he was selected TO
edit the Surgical and Medical History OF
the Rebellion, on which work he is still
engaged. In 1868 he was promoted TO the
rank of Captain, and in 1876 to the grade OF
Surgeon, with the rank of Major. He is
member of the American Medical Associa-

A NEW YORK paper suggests that con-
victed m1rderers should, instead of being
hanged, be delivered to the doctors for pur-
poses of experiment for the cure Of diseases
or the discovery Of antidctes for drug
poisons, hydrophobia, etc. 1t would have
the success of one of these desperate expert
ences, as, for instance, the cure of bydropho-
bia, In a criminal purposely exposed to the
bite Of rabid dog, be rewarded by the par
don of the corpus uiste. The Springfield Re-
publican responds that this would be "cruel
and unusual punishments," which are for
hidden. The question, however, is: whether
the restoration Of the criminal TO freedom
would not be as bad as the dog bitep 1t
might do TO guarantee him decent burial and
a niche in the Temple Of Fame as recon-
pense. ..

Arthur,s Position

NEW YORK, August 25.-The Tribune
says that whatever conclusion the Cabinet
may have reached, the counsellors of the
Vice-President have urged that the Cabinet
cannot take upon itself to decide when the
inability of the President exists, and II Is
knowa General Arthur will not hear any
call or suggestion of the Cabinet as to acting
in place of the President. 1t Is safe TO say
while Arthur will not disregard any request
of the Cabinet or OF Blaine, as Its head, TO
come to Washington, he is adverse to doing
so while the President lives. Presidents IN
like cases show there is no absolute necessity
that the Vice-President should qualify im-
mediately on the death Of the President,
and General Arthur believes there is nothing
pressing in National affairs to warrant undue
haste on his part In the event of the death OF
President Garfield. Personal friends say If
opportunity is given Yice-President Arthur
through threatened calamity to the country,
he will prove az much of q statesman as he
is now regarded politician. 1t is denied
that the personal relations of Arthur with
the President are even unpleasant.

The gew gorth-avest.
JAS. II. MILLS, PUBLISHER.

AT THE issue of the preceding number of
this paper, the President was In the most
critical condition he had reached since he
was shot, and his death seemed Inevitable.
Even his most sanguIne physicians despaired,
and his family was notified the hour Of dis
solution was approaching. II the dispatches
may be believed, all but his wife gave up,
and she alone maintained steadfastly he
would survive aud recover. Ii this prove
true, her name will 90 down to posterity
with its record of nobility aud devotion
glorified by a courageous faith that Is UNI
paralleied. The President passed the SUI
preme crisi his spirit responded to the
yearning, loving demands Of hers, and he
turned from Deaths portals back unto Life.
1t Is almost beyond belief; il appears mirac-
ulous. but the testimony of his physicians
now Is that his recovery is almost certain.
May He who doeth all things well grant him
recovery.

SAN LUIS REy, CAL, August 26.-At ten
O'Clock this morning High Mass was celebra-
ted In the old Mission Church by Rev. Fir.
Nut, of San Juan Capristana. There was n
large attendance, and ii Is thought the funds
raised by collections will be sufficient to put
the old church in good repair. The building
Is rapidly going 10 decay, and, rs 1t is an old
relic Of California history, every effort viii!
be made toward Its restoration. After mass
the feast and races were began. Some hne
stock was on the track, and, as the excite
ment was intense, betting was largely in-
dulged In. The afternoons entertainment
consisted chiefly In bull-fghting and an occa-
sional horse-race, the chief attraction being
the removal of q twenty -dollar piece from y
BULBS horns by native Californian on foot.
The accomplishment of this daring feat was
received with loud cheers. The amusemcats
last hight consisted Of dancing, an Indian
war dance and performance by Mexican
circus. The crowd assembled here was the
largest that ever attended any feast Ia this
county.

JUDGE LAWRENCE, First Comptroller of
the Treasury, rendered decision In which
he maintains that when contract with the
Government is sold by the contracting party,
the contract itself is annulled, and that any
party selling such contract runs the risk Of
obtaining no pay. This opinion is based on
the ground that the original contractor In
such an event does not perform the service,
and the purchaser of the contract violates
the existing law.

too late to be of service, as Mrs. Hum.

A Great

Alphonse Hawkes.. Of the firm of Hawkes.

Dublin, Ireland, last night. Mr.. Hawkes.
was absent several months. During this
absence, after visiting home. relatives and
friends, he took.a trip to the great COM
mercial centers of Britain, Liverpool and
London. He was in London when Presi-
dent Garfield was shot, and says the ex-
element there can hardly be described.
The English people, he thinks, were as
greatly shocked by the event as our own.
The feeling was sincere and general among
all classes. He also attended the Derby,
and saw Lorillard's %Iroquois electrify the
world with his magnificent turf perform
ance, an affair which fairly set
the thousands in attendance wild with en-
thusiasm and chagrin, according to their
favoritism. Mr.. Hawkes. says he is glad to
be back on the Base Range. He has trav-
eled much, and lived in Africa, South
America and New Zealand, but cannot en-
dure the East or Europe. The extreme
West or New Zealand, he thinks, are the
only places where q man can really be free
and happy. He is welcome home, and we
shall always be glad to have him with us.

what n HumboIdter Thinks Of the
Country.
M. Meador, an old Humboldter, now q
resident Of Rosedale. Arizona, writes as
follows about the country to q friend in
Winnemucca:
l find that there is lots to do on a farm,
and have been very busy With my hay
ing cutting, baling, etc.-and it Is now
blowing and seeding time again. l sup-
pose you have all heard about my sorghum
experiment. Well, it is not exaggerated,
for have the article full Is feet high. /
have sent to st. Louis for a mill and evap-
orator, and intend to the man
ufacture OF sugar and molasses. I have
only about five acres in this year. and II IL
pans out as ! expect, l will plant 40 or so
acres next year. l think it will be a much
better crop than wheat or barley. / am
told that ordinary sorghum will make 300
gallons to the acre, SO l think if that is
1.-THE case mine will turn out about 400 gal
Ions per acre. However, of this l will
inform you when / commence manufac-
turing.
Well, the Summer has come and gone,
and l did not die from the heat.
You have often heard of calves living
through the Winter and coming out fat in
the ~Spring-here we live through the
Summer and come out fat in the Fall.
The past Summer was not so hot by a
great deal, as l had been led to expect
from general accounts, and / have seen it
just as hot in Nevada, and much hotter in
California and Mississippi, the only differ
ence being that it stays hot here for a
greater length Of time-about four months.
Now (Oct. 81 the weather is very pleas
mt nights cool, and days just warm.
The longer l stay here, and the more /
see OF the country, the better l like it.

Two more suction Fans.

The mammoth suction fan over the old
shaft Of the Con. Virginia has given such
complete satisfaction and is proving OF
such incalculable benefit in assisting In
the circulation Of air In the lower levels OF
the mines connected Herewith, says the
Gold Hill News, that ii is proposed to
place two more fans similarly constructed
over the two old shafts of the mines in
Virginia under Bonanza control, and pre-
parations are now being made for that
purpose. One Of them will be placed over
the old Bonner shaft Of the Gould d
Curry mine on D street, and the other
over the old shaft Of the Sierra Nevada.
1t is estimated that the placing OF one Of
these fans adds to the circulation Of the
air underground as much IS II two new
shafts were constructed solely for ventilat
ing purposes.

Winnemucca on Friday from q three

Of Camp Three Forks. They report hav-
ing killed 10 deer. and as proof Of their
prowess in the chase brought back a wagon
load Of venison. They say deer are quite
numerous In what are called the Juniper
Mountains. Large herds OF antelope were
also seen by the hunters. but as they were
on the open plains the hunters were I'M
able to bring any Of them down. They
say salmon are very plentiful in the Owy-
hee and its tributaries. They describe the
country bordering on the river near Three
Forks as being broken and the scenery
picturesque.
