long time has the trade in precious
stones been SO dull as at present.

This year they were glad to sell at

are not willing to admit this, but II
ia 40 none the less. A jeweler told
mo that a stone which was fully
worth $50, had been sold for 500,
and others in proportion. Prices for
exceptatioually large or brilliant
specimens ofcourse remain unchang

trade the majority of dealers have
made but little money.

INaERsoLL AND LovE.-Mr. Robt.
G. Ingersoll in his speech against
Talmage, says:
"Christ said nothing In favor Of
wife; not one word in favor of home,
not one word in favor of marriage.
The only thing he says upon that
subject really is that there shall be
no marriage in heaven. And yet love
is the only bow of life's dark clouds.
Love is the mother of art and inspir
er of every poet, of every painter, of
every sculptor, Of every philosopher
and of every hero. Love is the ar
and light of every heart 1t is the
building of every hope. 1t is the
kinder of every fire on every hearth.
Love was the first to dream of i'm
mortality. Love has filled this world
with melody, for music is the voice
of love. Love is the magician, the
enchanter that changes worthless
things to joy, and makes right royal
kings and queens of common clay
Love is the perfume of that wondrous
flower, the human heart, withoa
i, which we are the envy even of Gods
I This holy passion, this divine sun
has been held by prophets and b.
: holy men as criminal and vile, ant
yet it gives all there is a joy an
e beauty in this world.

Clifton people were treated to
some fine vocal and instrumental music,
Monday evening, at the residence of
o. w. Lee. Mr. Lee, Miss Rinnie
Snyder and S. Ii. Neal took the most
active part.
Il c. Stephens, of the southeast
end of the county, was in town Wednes-
day, looking after the interests of the
the schools i'm his township. We are
pleased to see the people of Sully coun-
ty taking deep interest in the school
matters.
The calling of the school election
for next Monday seems to have been
premature, and has been recinded.
The law requires 30 days notice in a
school election, instead of ten, and the
Commissioners will take action in the
matter at their meeting next Tuesday.
We never saw more apathy in re-
gard to an election than was shown in
the Clifton district, Wednesday, and
the result was ridiculously small vote.
We can easily count up from so to IS
who were expected in, aside from the
many who were away and not expected
back.

Mysterious Disappearance /!

The community has been considera-
bly, excited this week over the sudden
and mysterious disappearance Sunday
night, of Alvin Blackman, of sec. "a,
1879, since which time nothing has
been heard from him. For some days
prior to his disappearance he had been
stopping at Clifton, but Sunday took
his team and drove over to Jacob and
Henry Weischedel's, whose claim adj
joins his, and with whom he was ac-
quainted before coming here, and en-
deavored to get them to take his team
up to Miner county. The three went
to bed in due season, but ut about ! |
o'clock one of the boys found
that Blackman had gone. Monday the
boys came to Clifton and reported, ex-
pecting to find the missing man,
Blackman left his team, wagon and all
his effects behind, but paid all his bills
SO far rs we can learn. There is some
thing strange about the matter, and
various theories are advanced, some
limiting at foul play, but we are in,
clined to think that the man was either
insane, rs he is said to have manifested
symptoms of alteration in the past, oil
else was homesick and has skipped
back to Miner county, where his fami
ly reside.

the wheat measured 80 inches with
heads 8 inches in length, all well filled
with large plump grains. 1t was grown
by Commissioner G. j. Millett, on his
farm in the western part of the county.

little outof the way.
Several wagon-loads of men went
up to Onida from Blunt, Wednesday,
just to see the country, you know; but
some how they all voted just the same.
1t is talked that the soldier boys
at TT. Sully will be sent to some south
ern station to winter. This will un-
doubtedly please the boys, but they
have made many friends who will re-
gret to see them 60.
Many of the positions assumed by
the Onida Journal are not only sense
less but contemplate. We must GER
tainly give him the credit of having
sense enough to know that he is stat
ing falsehood in connection with the
election, the county seat question,
Board of Commissioners and every
thing connected with Clifton and the
mass of the people of the county. 1t
is a very easy thing to make allega-
tions, but having facts to prove them
is another thing, and something of
which the Journal is entirely destitute.
Instead of trying to make any intelli-
gent argument in relation to anything,
he resorts to innueadoes AMI personal
abuse.

When the Journal affirms that
Onida is as good a location for the
county seat as Clifton. and would ac-
commodate as great mass of the peo-
pile, it states that which it knows to be
untrue, and acknowledged it once, at
least, when it had arrangements ali
made to move to Clifton, and was
bought off. We presume it will deny
this, too, but it is fact just the same
and can be proven. .-

The editor of the GettysbIrg Her
aid, published in Potter county, in no.
ticing the nominations to the Constitu-
tional Convention, in his paper of Tues
day, says: We cannot give the names,
of the parties nominated at Clifton for
the very good reason that we do not
know them" There is something very
peculiar about this. The editor of the
Herald was in Clifton all the afternoon
while the convention was in session.
We suppose the Onida Journal will
howl itself hoarse with delight over the
result of the election, and proclaim
from the hill-tops and valleys that
Onida did it with her little ballots. 1t
has a great faculty of magnifying ev-
erything with which Onida has any
thing 10 do, from a mole hill into a
mo,ptain, but the Journal will please
give the credit to whom it is due

manifested woeful lack of interest,
the vote proves that she can be depend
ed upon to do her duty.
