ITO Re. OF Not To Be-"


In answer TO a call published in /
Saturday mornings edition Of the
LEDGER. large number of our lead
ing citizens met at the court house
last Saturday afternoon to intervle"
Messrs. Hayward and Hawkins, OF
Hannibal.
Ex-Gov. Hardin was ele ,ted chair
man, and James Carroll secretary.
Mr.. Hawkins made very pracu-
cal little talk, in which he called at
tention to the fine country which the
road would pass through. He also
told the people how the road woulo
benefit them, and then announced
what was expected of the people OF
this county. In tile first place We
must give the right Of way, and i"
the second place we must bridge and
grade the road in this county, at a
cost of about $4,000 per mile. at
lea,t. No money due until the road
is completed and in running order to
Mexico. This is what they want, and
at the same time they do not agree
to give us the road even then. We don t
think the demand unreasonable. but
we do think they should agree to do
so-and-so, if we do so-and-so. The
way the thing is now, we are bidding
against ourselves.
The money is to be raised in one
of the following three ways: First,
by donation second, by taking stock,
and third, by issuing transportation
certificates. Besides the right OF
way, there will have to be at least
$50, 900 raised to me It the demand.
If they would say, ''when this is
Gone you will get the road," we could
then see how the people along the
line would feel interested.
J. NJ. Menefee and T. B. Bucknel
were appointed by the chairman

A Fossil Field Found.

A new and remarkable repository
Of remains of extinct species was
recently discovered in the southwest
part of Sweetwater County, on Green
River. This region is known as
bad lands" having a close resem-
blance to the bad lands Of Nebraska,
that are famous for the relics of
monsters Of ye olden time. A gen.
tleman who has just returned from
the neWly-discovered field of won
der, says that it abOunds with petri-
factions and fossils, and in some
places they are heaped up in mounds.
He found therein a skeleton almost
perfect, that was twenty-five feet in
length, and measured five and half
feet across the ribs, resembling the
Illustrations of an Ichthyosaurus.
Fossil turtles, frogs, ammOnite, and
immense bones, large teeth, petriied
wood, etc, bestrew the ground, max
ing it a valuable field for the opera
lions of the geologist. AS Wyoming
Territory has never taken any steps
to secure the remnants of it's earlier
occupants, but has allowed strangers
to come in and carry off it's precious
relics, the Cheyenne Sun suggests
that an effort now be made to pre-
serve some of the more valuable
species in this newly discovered
field.

Virginia Republicans.

Lynchburg, Va, 1.-THE plat
form adopt d reafirms adherence to
republican principles, than which
none is more sacred than the meet
of contracts. The republican party
of Virginia should, therefore. es-
pecially protect state credit, which
has been besmirched with repudia-
ton by the gross mismanagement of
democracy. The republican party
pledge themselves to free the state
from the cloud hanging over her on
account of monies loaned and mis-
applied, and most solemnly pledge
the payment of the whole state debt,
save the one third which
justly falls on West Virginia.
There is astrong protection plank; a
strong public school plank, demand
ing manhood as the only qualifca-
ton and opposing prepayment of a
capitation tax as a prerequisite to
voting; but demand q capitation
tax for the support of schools with
out its DISTINGUISHING effects, op

mittee on nomination reported for
governor, w. G.. Wickham lieuten-
ant-governor, Mayor S. ". YOst;
encouragement, Judge Willoughby,
and the nominations were adopted
unanimously. Wickham and YOst
declined, but urged the convention
to stand firm. The convention then
decided it inexpedient to make any
nominations but to hold fast to their
principles, ignoring the readjusting
principles. Adjoured sine die.

pulse and temperature are not as low
tonight as it had been hoped they
would be. the surgeons report that
he has had good day; better than
any previous day this week, and
that his appearance and general con-
dition are improved. He has taken,
since morning. nearly two pounds
of solid and liquid food without
gastric disturbance, and although
his pulse still indicates weakness,
he seems stronger than yesterday.
He was sponged off and took his last
allowance of nOurishment about 9
pm, and soon afterwards went to
sleep without anodynes. His after
noon fever began to abate as usual
after the evening examination,
and by 1890 his pulse had fallen to
last nights figure. His temperature
has not been taken since Z, but has
apparently fallen in correspondence
with his pulse, and there is every
prospect that he will have another
quiet, restful night.
