Where to Hold the County Convention.

~
The Democratic County Central Com
nittee will meet at HALEY next Monday
for the purpose of naming the time and
place for holding the County Conven-
ton and fixing the apportionment of
delegates.
We have alluded before to the matter
of holding the convention ut Ketchum,
and desire again to direct the attention
of the committee to the claims of this
town. The Democratic Convention two
years ago was held at bellevue, and the
Republican Convention at Ketchum. AS
Bellevue has had the benefit OF the meet
ing once, and as HALEY has the benefit of
the meeting of the committee, as well as
those pertaining to the court house and
county seat, it would be but fair 10 dis
tribute the favors. and give Ketchum a
fair show among other Wood River
towns. The Republican Convention win
probably be held elsewhere this year,
and it affords an opportunity for the
Democracy to locate upon this ground
for their convention. We trust that the
committee will give the subject due con-
sideration.

The Ruined City in Arizona,

The ruined cliff city discovered in
Arizona last summer occupied the side
of canyon which has been christened
Walnut Canyon. It is an immense fis-
sure in the earth, with nothing above
the general level of the country to in
dictate its existence to the traveller until
he stands upon the sides of it's almost
percipitous brink. The sides have been
quilted by storms and torrents, leaving
shallow, cave-likes places of great length
at different heights, along the bottom
of which, when the ledge furnishes a
sufficient area, dwellings in groups or
singly were built. The village was
about three-quarters of mile in length,
and consisted of a single row of houses,
the common rear wall being
the living rock, while the sides
and fronts were large square
stones laid in clay. A narrow street or
path extended along the front. SINH
lar villages extended along the canyon
for distance of five miles. Although
many domestic Implements were found,
nothing was discovered which indicated
the character of the people who once
inhabited them. There were no weap-
ons of war, temples OF idols, hieroglyph-
les or pictures. There was nothing to
identify them with the uncivilized
races of the present day, and though
the wide extent of the ruins indicate
the existence once of allied races cover
ing large portions of the present terri
tories of Arizona, New Mexico and
Utah, as we'll as Northern Mexico, their
origian and history constitute an un-
solved problem. Four hundred years
ago, when first discovered, they were,
as now, vacant and ,,ruined.-Boston

low Terdis1 Coaqussts ars Made.

Some idea 81 the way in which foreign
eonquests are made may be CLEANED
from the following letter from Ger
man missionary il the Namaqua coun-
try: IN April, 1883, there arrived a
vessel, the lilly, in Angra Pequena Bay,
the only port of Great Namaqua. She
belonged to the Bremen house of Lued-
eritz. The acquisition of the territory
was accomplished in the following sim
pie manner. Some of the gentlemen on
board landed, asked to whom the coun-
try belonged, and on learning that the
King Of Bethany was the owner, they
went to him and bought the, larbor and
the whole coast range for 200 old mus
kets and l, 800 marks in gold-a ridicu-
lous price for territory almost twice
as large as the Grand Duchy of Hesse.
Since that time the western portion of
this country is German property, and
the other day German man-of- war,
the Garcia, was here in order to chase
away an English man-of-war that had
come to keep sharp lookout for mer-
chant men. The English were rather
astonished at being told that in the
waters of . German coast no foreign
man of-war had anything to do. Since
then Mr.: Luederitz arrived here in a
steamer for the purpose Of taking look
at the land. There being much cop
per and silver here, it is said, that be-
fore long some 300 German immigrants
are to arrive for mining purposes, the
natives here being utterly unfit for work.

The Late Bishop Simpson.

DIR. Arthur Edwards, the editor of
the Northwestern Christian Advocate,
who was a warm personal friend of the
late Bishop Simpson, said recently
that he had known the Bishop since
1858. He added: I'm 1860 I went into
the army, and very often while in camp
near Washington found my way to
that city upon reading the announce
ment that Bishop Simpson would
preach; and I used to take several of
the officers with me. One night, I re-
member, a Colonel who was in our party
said that with such speakers the army
at home was as strong as the army in
the field. In 1864 began my editorial
work in Chicago, and since that time I
have met Bishop Simpson constantly.
The impression that he made upon me
was always that of sincere piety, intense
interest in men, and more especially
arm-hearted toward young men, whom
he regarded as the recruits of the church
of tomorrow, and over whom he had
great influence. He was a great man,
yet always approachable. As on orator,
to the very close of his life he preserved
his fervor."

DANCER on the Atlantic.

A gentleman writes to the London
Times: II have recently twice crossed
the Atlantic, in both instances in steam
ers of great tonnage and the highest
speed, and have gone down to my cab
in ct night to turn in with feeling that
nothing but the Providence which sits
up aloft, and, in looking after poor
Jack, has to perform the same duty
for passengers, could avert fatal acct
dent if any vessel approached ours at
the same speed. Through dark, thick
nights, amid binding storms of hail
still we drove ahead at fifteen or six
teen knots (seventeen or eighteen miles
an hour roughly, with the most reck-
less disregard Of what we might chance
to meet. It is true that every known
precaution was taken, lookout men on
both sides forward, and the officers
most vigilant, but still I contend that
with vessels Of such immense length it
would have been absolutely impossible
to sheer out Of tho way of q vessel ly-
ing to under close reefs Or = steamer

AEG0Hn DAY.

Tho convention was opened by tho RI Rev.
Bishop McLaren Of the diocese Of Chicago.
He prayed that tho proceedings might be temp
cred by the sober contemplation Of the future,
30 that future generations might enjoy the re-
suits of law regulated by liberty, and not have
to suffer the consequence of . rash disregard
of the eternal laws Of God He prayed that

in the convention, and that all things might be
done in it for the welfare of the land and the
glory of God.

The effect that the disappearance Of
forests has upon climate receives fresh
illustration almost every day. In Italy
the clearing of the Apennines is be-
lieved to have seriously changed the
climate Of the Pc valley, and now the
African sirocco, never known to the
armies of ancient Rome, breathes its
hot, blithing breath over the right bank
Df the river in the territory Of Parma.
The removal CT the pine forests near
Ravenna induced the same desolating
wind; and the same destruction of the
sid forests of Vosges and of the &C.
venues has had like deteriorating in
auences upon the climate: In Egypt,
where, during the French Occupation in
1898, not a drop Of rain fell for sixteen
months, and where from time immem-
orial the country has been a rainless bed
Of sand, Mohammed Ali, by planting
his millions of fig and orange trees, has
seen his country blessed with an annual
rainfall of several inches.

Ex-Mayor Powderly Of Scranton, Pa.,
says he never believed such degradation
possible as he has just witnessed in the
Connellsville coke region Of Pennsyl-
vania among the Hungarians. At one
of the ovens he saw woman half naked
drawing the hot coke from the chamber.
She had no covering on her head and
very little on her person. Her appear
ance was that of one whose spirit had
been broken by hardship and hard work
Her attire consisted of d COARSE ehemise
and pair ofcowhide boots. In d freight
car close by stood another woman stow
ing the coke as it came to the car. She
stood in the doorway and was dressed
in q rough, loose fitting outer garment
and an apron: Her person from the
waist up was exposed. Her feet were
encased IN pair of heavy shoes, and
her legs were exposed from the knee
down: Other scenes were worse than
these. These women are not employed
by the. corporations, but assist their
husbands and fathers in their labor.

inees of their selection as candidates. A tele-
gram was read from the president Of tho New

i1Dss men of New York were solid for Cleve-
land The names of Joseph Mcdonald of Ind ,
John C. Black of Ill.,, Gen: Rosecrans Of
of Cal, and Gov Hendricks Of Ind.
were presented for Vice President.
But all save Hendricks, were Withdrawn.
one by one, so that Mr. Hendricks, name alone
remained before the convention. Hubbard Of
Texas made spirited speech in favor of giving
to Hendricks the Office out ..of which he had
been cheated Weed of New York sug-
gested that the roll of states should be called so
as to put on record the unanimous vote for
Hendricks. Wallace accepted the suggestion,
Withdrew his motion to nominate by aeclama-
ton, and moved that the nominations do now
close. The motion was agreed to and the clerk
proceeded to call the roll of states.
The result was the unanimous nomination of
Thomas A. Hendricks as the candidate for vice
president
Finally the chairman got chance to make
the formal announcement of the vote. He
said there had been SIG votes cast, all of them
for Thomas A. Hendricks, and that Mr.. Hend-
ricks was therefore the candidate of the ma
tional Democratic convention for vice presi-
dent Of the United States The convention
then adjourned.
