A wELL-kNowN local preacher in :
suburban town, while instructing Il clas.
of urchins in the cathechism, told then
that God could do everything, where
upon one of them asked, "Can Gee
make rock SO big that BE can't ~,
it:" The boys question remains unap
suered.

1t is hardly necessary to call attcn-
tion to the advertisement Of Morgan
& Buncc that starcs the reader in the
face in this issue, but we wish to i'm
press it upon the public that the sale
is just what 1t implies, a clean out at
cost. The firm is desirOus Of closing
out the business and in order to do
so they are determined Ia slcrilice
the stock. The goods consist Of a
choice collection purchased at low
rates from eastern houses and are
now offered far below anything ever
reached in the Territory. Most sales
advertised at cost are not at cost, but
in this instance everything will be
marked down to bill figures. Ladies
will find this an opportunity to lay
in supply Of dry goods never before
presented and those who do not take
advantage Of It will have occasion to
always regret their short-sighted-
ness.

young men from the regular army,
measured bats W.!h n scrub nine
picked up about town. The loral
players never expected 10 make a
showing against a pricticcd club and
had no hopes Of winning. \ large
crowd assembled on the grounds in
the western part Of the city TO wit

players and II Is a pleasure to see a
club that conduct itsilf so gentle

The home club show want Of puc-

steer Clear.

There are numerous ways Of max.
ing living in this world, a good
many Of which would not stand the
ordeal Of rigid scrutiny. When Il
man who possesses even an average
amount Of that absence OF dilHdCucc
commonly called "g,tll," becomes
har'l up, thrown upon the cold chari-
ties Of an uncharitnble world to spar
for a sufficient quantity Of the ncccs-
stiles Of life, with II few Of the tax
able luXurios in the shape Of liquid
nourishment, he will not weigh to u
nicity the right or wrong Of the
mode Of procedure he embarks in,
only striving to drift away from the
clutches Of the IHyrmidons Of the
law as he scoops in the longcd for
wealth. Very frequently this dis
regard for the finer points OF honesty
is played with success in u cOmmun-
ity, which is no fault Of the authori-
ti0s but more on account Of the
shrCwdnCss Of the operator One Of
the neatCst tricks that have been
managed in this locality for some
time is the sale, by a party unknown,
of Occur GAlenc nuggets. Now
there would be. nothing wrong in the
traffic of gold specimens from that
celebrated camp were they simon
pure samples of the product Of that
sadly demoralized region, hut there
is where the wickedness comes in.
The nuggets offered were manufac-
tured for the occasion. How this was
done we are not able to say, not
being in the secret. We have the
information from a reliable source
that the beautiful specimens fired
upon the market and sold for merely
nothing would be dear rs a gift.
Just how many of the nuggets were
sold it is hard to find out, as the par
ties taken in are a little shy about
being sold. However, enough is
known to put Others on their guard,
and we would advise those wishing
specimens to go up to the mines and
dig them out, or purchase only from
those in whom they can place i'm
plicit trust. 1t don't pay to buy cob
bic stones dOctorcd up to resemble
gold quartz, or to be imposed on
with pyritcs Of iron.

pies Of the grain and vegetables pro-
duced on the soil, which has never
undergone thorough test. Early in
the spring many who took up land
In that section were frightened of
by the threatened drOuth, but the
rains came in the latter part Of May
and cOpiOus storms have continued
throughout the summer, raising an
abundant crop Tor all who remained
and cultivated the land. The SAM
pies on exhibition in our city are
equal to those grown in any other
part Of the territory and prove the
country finely adapted to farming.
One Of the great drawbacks is the
distance from market, but this will
be obviated at an early day by the
introduction,of railroads. As Immi-
grafton increases the Big Bend will
.seeedily dlIup with an industrious
class ofpeople aud the many acres
as yet never touched by plow will
add millions Of bushels Of grain to

To the Editor Of Me Ddily Rerieir,
DEAR SIR: To satisfy the curios-

and the neighborhood, please pub
lish the following among your items:
Last evening a party Of gentlemen
assembled and made the walls Of
Union Block resound with college
songs, which were rendered as only
sons Of Alma Mater are capable.
Among those present were Messrs.
Sherwood, Chamberlain, l.. Clark
and Blossom, Harvard graduates,
DIR. Willard Of thcfUniversity Of
Pennsylvania, Mr.. Vajan Of Prince
ton, Mr.. Norman Of oxford and
Messrs. Morris, DIR. Pittwood and
Mr.. Dempsir. Twas not until the
''wee small hours" that these jovlal
spirits sought their dreamy couches

The Union is divided into districts

this officer to makca critical personal
inspection once a year Of every na-

the bank officials are never aware of
his presence until, by the authority

FROM the rumors in the air we
would judge that the struggle over
county offices this fall promises to be
unusually interesting, and the
scramble is not confined to one par.
ty. Almost every day we hear Of
new aspirants. OF course these now
in are figuring for denomination
and the fresh material is not modest
In proportions. We favor a fair field
and no favOrs in the distribution Of
Offices. The settled centers must
give the country a just proportion Of
the offices, whether they be Demo-

latter to carry the day. When the
county conventions convene It
should be the duty Of the delegates
to act impartially upon the claims Of
the several districts, not giving one
locality the call over another The
time Is approaching for the conven-
tiOn and It would be well for the
voters to arrange some plan Of action
that win meet the approval Of the
majority Of the fair minded resi-.
dents.
