The Holton Recorder brings up the
following reminder of the manner OF
Gov. ST. Johns FIRST nomination: the
first ballot stood Martin 119; Anthony,
ia; st, John. 56. There was but little
change from the above until the 10th
ballot, when the CowIey country dele
CATION, led by Col. Manning, changed
from Anthony to Martin, resulting in
Martin, 12S; Anthony, 10Y; St. John, 50:
After the 10th ballot Gov. Anthony
withdrew, transferring his delegates
almost in a body to St. John, which
resulted on the 18th ballot as follows:
John A. Martin, 129; G.. T. Anthony, L;
John P. St. John, 156. St. Johns nomi-
nation was due to the action of Governor
and his friends.

"What is that, mother?
"a masher" dear.

Posed on the corner of the street,
Proudly displaying its tiny feet;
Twirling its little ten cent cane;
And Supplying its tender brain
With the smoke of a paper cigarette
DOM. touch it, dear, it was raised pet"
evil it bite, mother?"
"Well, 1 should shout;
1t will bite free lunch for all that's out"
well, why doesn't Barnum buy the thing
And tie it up with piece of string?
No other monkey in all bis show
Would provesuch drawing card, 1 know ;
But for me, I'd chew gum all my life
Rather than be Washers WIFE,"

Just think of it! Colorado was adj
mitted into the Union az state when
the Union was 100 years old and is
therefore called the Centennial State.
Twenty-one years ago the city Of Den
yer existed only in imagination now
its population exceeds 10000. Twelve
lines of railroads center in Denver and
cars are running on all these roads.
The population of Denver is increasing
by emigration at rate exceeding
l 600 per month. 1t is the finest and
most substantially built city of its size
and years there is to be found in the
United States. The population of
Colorado entire, is now little more
than 2Oo, 900, and is filling up at rate
of about 100000 increase per year.
Men of means, muscle and disposition
to industry are being directed to Colo
RADIO because of the great opportuni-
ties its mines offer for the investment
of money, machinery and time. Last
year more than $25.OOO.OOO worth of
gold, silver and copper was taken out
of the mines of Colorado at a profit to
the miners exceeding S15,OO0,0OO. In
no other part of the country has such
small population succeeded in pro-
ducing SO much wealth. The mining
enterprises of Colorado are yet in their
infancy. New mines are being dis
covered every week and hundreds of
thousands of dollars worth of the
most improved machidery is be-
ing put in place for the mining and
smelling OF ores there this year. From
all parts OF the country, especially
from the north, earnest, active, enter
prising, determined men are making
their way to Colorado to engage in the
development of her great industry, the
same being the production of mineral
Or the taking of it out from the great
mineral-bearing mines.
Among those who have lately gone
to Colorado is Mark NJ, more widely
known as "Brick" Pomeroy, who
went to Colorado about two years ago,
and who is now publishing his large
eight page paper, PomerOy's Great
West in Denver, which is sent out at
81 per year and contains a vast
of reliable information con-
mines and mining enterprises
Of this young and wonderfully vigor-
ous and growing state. Since going to
Colorado POmeroy has become interest
ed in some of the most valuable min
ing properties in the state, and from
some of them is now taking out ore i'm
large quantities, SO that he bids fair to
become one of the largest wealth pro-
ULCERS in the west. Persons wishing
concerning Colorado and
her mining interests, or wishing to in
vest some money in legitimate mining
properties and mining enterprises will
DO well to subscribe for Pemeroy's
Great Vest, or to send for sample cop
les of the paper, or to write to the edi-
tor thereof, whose address is Denver.
In this country are a great many
persons who do not like "Brick" POM
sroy, but certainly his energy and in
lustry are commendable and he is do
ng so much to help develop the re-
sources of this country it is presumed
hat he will in time be fully forgiven
or having positive ideas and a disp3-
'ition to explain them plainly.

HIS LAST SICKNESS.
Particulars of the Immediate Cause of
Death-The Poet Greatly Affected by
Agassiz's Death.

Not since the death of his intimate friend
Prof. Agassiz has Longfellow been in robust
health, Agassiz's death having been great
shock to him, and from which he never fully re
covered. Nearly two years after that event his
health was source of anxiety to his intimate
friends. He was unable during that time to
enjoy his food owing to imperfect indigestion,
living entirely upon bread and milk.
Saturday last he was out part of the after
noon, walking upon the piazza, and on going
into the house complained of being slightly
cold. At dinner he was taken suddenly i'll.
Soon after he went to his room, and in short
time had violent attack of vertigo. DR.. Nor
rill Wyman and DR. J. F. Munich attended
him. Sunday he complained of severe pains
in the stomach, and opiates were administered
to allay the trouble and induce sleep. His con-
dition seemed somewhat improved till Monday
when dangerous symptoms became manifest,
and the family were seriously alarmed. Tues
day morning these symptoms assumed an ag-
gravated form, and it became evident to the
household that his death was near. Wednes-
day and Thursday there was slight improve
ment, there being disposition to sleep almost
continually. During the afternoon and even
ing OF Thursday he talked great deal about
various topics, and seemed to recover large
portion of his usually bright and cheerful dispo-
sition. Later in the night he became uncon-
scious and seemed restless and uneasy. Yes
terday morning he revived though his talk was
ofarLmbling nature and somewhat incoherent.
This condition continued until about an hour
before his death, when he again became un-
conscious and SO continued until the last, suf-
fering but little pain apparently. The imme-
date cause OF his death was peritonitis.

WALL STREET.

What it has to say to a Conhding Public,
NEW YORK, March 24-Wall street reports
state that notwithstanding the efforts OF the
BEARS the bulls as serenely predict higher prices
for stocks and claim that they have the ability
to hold them.
Exchange is a trifie stronger and there is a
probability that gold will be shipped on Satur-
day.
1t is stated that an English syndicate is be-
ginning to operate largely in this market. 1t is
understood to have sent large amount OF
money here already, and to have large deposits
on the other side subject to call. There is a
good foreign buying of bonds and some demand
for stocks Frankfort bought a good many
Denver firsts and Missouri Pacific yesterday.
The bears were not disposed to sell Denver
Yesterday, on account of the strong support
given by both the Gould pool and the German
pool.
The bears are getting nervous over the con-
tinued purchase of Lake Shore by Mr.. Wander
some plan which will materially enhance the
value of the property. 1t was rumored yester-
day that an announcement of Closer relations
between New York Central and Lake Shore
would be made when least expected One
rumor looked to the consolidation of the two
properties, another, to lease of Lake Shore
by the New York Central Mr.. Vanderbilt is
quoted as saying that after Lake Shore crossed
100 he might call in some stock and let the
bears climb to cover.
There is a probability that the short interest
in Jersey Central will be squeezed before
Saturday night. The borrowing demand for
the stock is very sharp Nearly every office in
the street is believed to be short to greater or
less extent 1t is claimed that those who ex-
pect an unfavorable report from the receiver
will be disappointed.

Cook for his old clothes. He is offered $500
for the suit he wore when he shot the PreSi-
dent, and $3.50 for the clothes he wore through
out the trial. The matter was presented to

He was in raving mood and would discuss
nothing but the interview recently published

be hanged.

case. The President to-day received petition
for Masons pardon from Toledo, Ohio, which

dent"

The Lawrence Strikers Still Holding Out
LAWRENCE, March A.-The weavers' COM
mittee held private meeting at City Hall, at
which encouraging reports were received to
continue, solicitingsfunds for mutual relief,
also decided to take no further action toward
arbitrating with the Pacific authorities until
the latter evince desire to meet the strikers
on the ground proposed. The relief commit
tee had about dozen appeals for aid, and in
one instance $3.50 had been given to appli-
cants, but hereafter no money is to be given,
but the necessaries purchased for needy strik-
ers, Operatives from the other tmills are con-
tributing to the relief fund. The strike and
lockout have occasioned an increase Of spplica-
tions to the overseers of the poor for aid
Railroad station agents report within the
past few days large number of operatives
have left New Bedford, Fall River, and other
manufacturing places, but the leaders of the
strike are endeavoring TO have all remain, ex-
pecting soon the mills will be reopened and pay
restored. AT present this appears a forlorn
hope.
