Having learned that man just
from the National Yellowstone Park
was stopping at one of the New York
hotels, a citizen celled upon him to
put a few questions, and led off with:
ado you think another hotel will
pay there?"
The stranger looked at him all over
and then asked:
ado you mean busincss?"
"Of course | do"

GRAND JURY,s REPORT.


The grand jury for the June term OF
court for Alturas county, made the follow
ing report of the result Of their lnvesu-
cations into the charges, against county
officials, of unlawfully pocketing punl1c
money.
after careful examination, we would
ask the Honorable Court to administer a
SEVERE REPRIMAND to the Board OF Coun-
ty Commissioners, in the matter OF allow
ing Z. r. Leonard, Assessor, per diem
compensation, in collecting property and
poll tax, for the year 1888; also in APP
pointing one of their own body as super
intendent of the Courthouse, thereby hay
fne him act in dual capacity; also, in
allowing compensation to the District AT
torney In various cases not warranted by
law. We further find, E. II. Leonard, AS
SCISSOR, accepted per diem compensation
for assessing personal property and poll
tax, In violation oil law, which in our
opinion should be returned to the county.
Tho matter Of G. III. Furcy, in collecting
mileage In certain cases, is contrary to
law, either expressed or implied. We do
not find In our deliberations that the above
officers willfully and corruptedly accept
ed the money, but rather followed prece-
dent long established and practiced by
their predecessors.
Further, we would recommend a strict
compliance with law in The administra-
ton of the several officers, to the end that
Justice be done and that the revenue be
properly collected and properly disburs-
ed
We further find, on examination, that
the docket kept by Hon. Geo. M. Parsons
is model of neatness, and that all mon
eys are properly accounted for, and we
find the same in regard to the dockets OF
But on examination Of the docket OF
Geo. =. HodSon, Justice of the Peace at
Kotchum, we think it would be difficult
to find another such, for the loose manner
in which justice has been administered
Gf any; in not returning but 80 to the
school fund tor period of three years
With large docket of criminal actions
also turning prisoners loose, but faithful
ly collecting the costs of his Court.
We would express our strongest disap
probation of the acts of the above-men
toned officer, and recommend that thu
County Commissioners take action in thu
above case, at their next meeting.
We further recommend that all money!
received by officials, not warranted by
law, be returned to the treasury withou
unnecessary delay.
The attention of the Board of Count,
Commissioners is called to the report mad
by the experts relative to deficiencies b,
county officials. Quite a number of ex
county officials have not made their &C
counts good. and we recommend the com
missioners to call upon the bondsmen t.
make good such deficiencies immediate

Dyspepsia is the prevailing malady of
civilized life. A weak dyspeptic stomach
acts very slowly or not at all on many
kinds Of food, gases are extricatcd, acids
are formed and become source Of pain
and disease until discharged. TO be dys-
peptic is to be miserable, hopeless, depress-
ed, confused in mind, forgctful, irresolute,
drowsy, weak, languid and useless. 1t
destroys the teeth complexion, strength,
peace of mind and bodily.ease. 1t pro-
duces headache, pain in shoulders, coughs,
tlghtness of chest, dizziness, sour erupta.
tions Of stomach, bad taste In mouth,
bilious attacks, palpitation of heart, in
fammation Of lungs, pain in the region Of
the kidneys, and q hundred other painful
symptoms. Dyspepsia invariably yields
to the vegetable remedies In GOLDEN

Electing the President.

New York Herald: Technically
speaking, the president is not elected
by the people and tho people do not
vote directly for any presidential can
didatc. They cast their ballots for
electors, and these electors choose a
president and yicc-president. Ia each
State the number Of electors is equal
to the number Of senator's and repre-
scntatives which the state has in con-
gross. In New York there are thirty
six electors. Each party has an cleo
toral ticket with the names of these
thirty-six electors printed on it. Vot-
ers who wish to vote for Cleveland
will cast their ballots for the Cleve-
land electoral ticket. The electoral
ticket which receives the greatest
number Of popular ballots in the
State will be chosen by the people,
and the electors named on it will be
entitled to give their votes for the
candidate whom they represent. The
electors who are chosen will meet in
each state on the first Wednesday in
December and cast their votes for q
president and vice-prosidcnt. AS n
matter Of law they can then vote for
whom they please. They are not
legally bound TO vote for Cleveland
or Blaine or any other person who
was candidate before the people.
As a matter Of usage and public trust
they are expected to vote for tho can
didato whom they are pledged to sup
port Certificates Of the votes cast
by the electors in each State arc then
made out and sent to Washington.
These certificates will be opened in
the presence Of the senate and house
Of representatives and counted on the
second Wednesday in February. The
total number of electoral votes is
l01. The candidate for president re-
cciving a majority Of these, that is,
POI, will be declared president. If
no person has such majority, then the
election goes into the house of repre-
sentatives, which is required to choose
president from tho persons (not ex-
ceeding three who have received the
most electoral votes for president. In
the house the vote is by States, each
State having one vote.

Peterson's Magazine for December

to subscribe for 1885, or to get up

subscribe for no magazine till they

Cleveland Victorions.

The result Of election has at last
been decided, and the election of
Cleveland and Hendricks is conceded
by their opponents. Mr.. Blaine
claimed fair count would give him
about /, 900 plurality, but showed no
real claims or correct figures. The
face of the election returns showed
that Cleveland had 1900 plurality
in New York State, and yet the claim
was positively made by Mr.. Blaine
that he had plurality. He had q
right to insist Oh a fair and honest
count, but he had no right to keeT
the people in an uproar and uncer
tainsy for over a week on groundlesi
claims. The official canvass of The
votes of New York State shows tha
the lowest Cleveland elector received
1,107 majority over the highest Blaine
elector, and the majority Of the othel
Cleveland electors is over 1900

narins to Dawn on Him.

A special dispatch to the Detroit
Free Press, from Augusta, Maine,
says; "DIr. Blaine seems to begin to
fully realize the bitterness of defeat.
He has had some faint hope all along
that he might be counted in, but the
truth seems to be that he was so
greatly stunned by the conflicting re-
ports that came from New York the
very day after election that he has
never fully recovered himself, and
has felt all the time that the tide was
against him. He has acted all along
like q man completely unnerved, and
has displayed none of that spirit and
dash that was expected of him by his
friends in case Of an emergency. The
chilling apprehension of defeat that
seized him the day Of election has now
grown into the sinking realization of
the actual disaster. Both he and his
family are suffering the most burning
agony. This information comes
straight from their own house. Mr..
Blaine is to-day more an object of
pity than resentment and abuse. The
female part of his family are in tears
most Of the time, while his son Walker
curses the very air. If Mr.. Blaine
had fears of defeat, his family did
not share them. His conceited and
impertinent son Walker was as conf
dent of his fathers triumph as of hi:
elevated shirt collar. The single
daughter looked forward with FOND
expectation to her social reign at the
White House,. as every girl might BE-
expected to do under the circum
stances, and many were the rosy pic
lures she drew before her young lady
associates here.

not equal 20 the management of the
place; that he was too easily deceived;
that he spent too much money trying
carry Southern State, and that he
relied too much upon hurrahs. The
Blaine strikers about the postofiice
are a pretty good reflex of what Mr..
Blaine himself thinks, and they are
open and violent in their denuncia-
ton of Jones and Elkins. Joe Man
ly, postmaster, of Augusta. and the
most thorough dyed in the wool bigot
and partisan that have ever had the
to meet, thinks he himself
could have done better than Elkins.
Mr.. Blaine and his family evidently
feel that he has lost the Presidency
through Encouragement, and the
man whom he holds guilty of mis-
management he will never forgive.
