pany's ball, which takes place on the even
ing of the Sd of November.
Some of the boys are amusing them
selves at the expense Of candidates on
the State tickets, whom they don't like,
by literally ''coppering" their names.
The Bellevue Chronicle says that Spiro
Gregovich, formerly Of Eureka, Nevada,
opened up in good shape Saturday even
ing, and quite a crowd dropped in to drink
his health and wish him all sorts of pros
prerity.
Among the candidates on the Republi-
can State ticket, an observant person no.
ticed yesterday that there is only one
whose name is of one syllable, while on
the Democratic State ticket he pointed out
six whose names are monosyllables.
The posters of the Democratic State
ticket arrived yesterday and were shortly
afterwards put up in the most conspicu-
GUS places about the town. 1t is a piece
Of good job printing. The posters are
large and the names are brought out in
bold relief.
The tickets voted at the coming election
will be the worst scratched ever known in
Eureka County. A Republican, who is a
strict partisan, in looking over the tickets
together, and being asked how he was
going to vote, made the very suggestive
response: ''It's id badly Mixed"
Efforts are being made to secure a post
ponement of the Union Guard ball, which
is dated for Thursday evening, the 26th,

E. Laughton, Republican candidate for

field for their speaking on that evening.
Our Carson correspondent, whose letter
appears elsewhere, and whose report Of
the Democratic speaking at the Capital
will be recognized as calm and fair, says
that the audience who went to hear Messrs.
Cassidy and Merrill speak was the largest
that ever assembled indoors in that city.
Thomas Lawry and a party Of Ruby
Hill sportsmen went out Saturday to
Buckham's ranch in Diamond Valley, in
the neighborhood of which Mr.. Lawry
came suddenly upon @ sleeping lynx
Though it is p%roverbial that a lynx is
never caught napping) and DISPATCHED it
with a load of bird shot. The animal
was a large specimen of a varmint, and its
capture delighted the heart of the fortu-
nate hunter. The hunters killed consid-
cradle other game, for a specimen OF
which, two fat mallards, the SENTINEL re-
turns it's thanks.
The ladies of the Catholic Church are as
busy as bees devising every sort OF nno
cent amusement for their festival, which
takes place vt the Eureka Opera House,
beginning Wednesday evening and running
through Thursday, Friday and Saturday
evenings. The festival will surely be very
entertaining and successful. The object
proposed, that of repairing the church and
building a fence about the cemetery, is a
very worthy one and the ladies should be
seconded in their generous efforts by the
whole community, especially as this is the
only appeal they have made for the Church
for foul or five years.
