Beautiful Venus.

AT this time, the planet Venus,
which is the bright morning star, Is
remarkably brilliant, and is visible to
the unassisted eye in broad daylight to
those who know nearly in what direc-
ton to look. Tho planet will lie found
about 30 degrees to the westward OF
the sun. A familiar way, and one
sufficiently correct for all practical pur-
poses. is to measure the distance by
the hand, which, when placed between,
the eye and any given point in the
heavens, will obscure about Is de-
grees, astronomical measurement.
Therefore, two hands westward of the
sun will very nearly give the location
OF the planet.
Two or three men stared at the sky
very intently for some minutes, yes
terday, and soon collected quite a
crowd, each one Of whom could
plainly see Venus right alongside Of

KErcHuM, Sept. SIS a. m.
Since the arrival of the train, last
evening, the city has been alive with
politicians, many of whom, being una.
BILE to secure accommodations, were
compelled to stay up all night. There
will probably be about 70 delegates
in attendance, the balance Of delegates
being represented by proxies.
When the Haley, Bullion. Belle
vue, Broadford, Shoshone, and.Rocky
Bar delegations arrived, last evening,
it soon became known to the insiders
that slate had been fixed" up in
Haley, and the delegates from Ketch
utn, Smoky and the upper country at
once determined to break it if they
could. They secured the cooperation
Of the Atlanta delegation, and en-
deavored to capture the Rocky
Bar, Camxs Prairie, Muldoon and
Lost River delegations. What sue
cess they met with, if any, is not yet
known, but as they seem very confident
it is probable that they succeeded in
their plan, which was to combine the
outside, ketchum aud the upper coun-
try, against HALEY, Bullion, Broadford,
Bellevue, Shoshone, and the railway
precincts. But the following was
agreed upon as Ketahum's demands:
For Recorder and Auditor - .Jno.
NJ. Cannady; Probate Judge-H. e.
Street, of ketchun; District Attor-
ney, N. NJ. Ruick County Comm is
sioner, Thomas Lavell, of ketchum
Coroner-Dr. -, of Ketchum.
It was also resolved to instruct the
delegates to Boise for Hawley, and to
make fight FORT. E. Clohecy for
permanent chairman. The caucus
being evidently divided between Gray
and McPhee for Sheriff, it was deemed
best not to take vote on that nomi-
nation.

for some of the most elementary con-
veniences of life he must go abroad.
1t is, for instance, a little humiliating
to know that it is perfectly possible to
be photographed at home, and yet that
there is no photographer in London
who is prepared to perform the process
in this luxurious way. fone, however,
goes across to Paris, one finds that, by
writing a postcard, q photographer
will appear next morning completely
equipped for an operation. 1t is need
less, of course, to point out what diff
ferent thing being photographed at
home is to being photographed in what
is pleasantly termed a ''studio." There
is no climbing to the sky, to begin with.

with a bullet in my right leg. The
Indians had paid their gentle attention
to the rest of us during the time How
ard was having his fight, but fortunately
not in force. and we succeeded in get
ting together ut the wagon without the
loss OF a man, l being the only one
wounded in the whole engagement.
As soon as Howard joined us we started
on the retreat for camp, the Indians
harassing us the whole way. They
would form in single ile or all abreast,
and charge as though they were going
to ride right over us, but on getting
within short range would wheel and re-
tire, after discharging volley of shots
that would tear up the earth all around
us. This was most terrifying to me. a
boy fresh from school, who had never
experienced any sort Of warfare, and
had never even seen gun fired by one
man ut another-but Howard, who had
gone through four years of war of the
rebellion. and had seen three years or
more of border warfare with Indians,
was quite exhilarated by the excite
ment. He gave them challenge by
walking alone several hundred yards
away on one side. They charged, but
retreated when he kneeled and fired.
Arriving at camp after an hours ride
and running fight, we found the escort
thoroughly alarmed, and Just starting
out to pick up our dead bodies, for they
had seen so many Indians about that
they made sure we were all killed.
1t was scene of mutual re-
| joicing and congratulation, as
we had feared that they had
met an untimely fate. A hasty council
of war was held as to what was to be
| done. We were unanimous in the
opinion that it was folly to continue
work without larger escort and per-
sonal body guard, besides it was ne
cessary that my wound should be
dressed. Consequently it was decided
to turn our faces in the direction of
Sheridan, which we did, arriving there
late in the afternoon. the Indians fol-
lowing us all the way seeking an op-
portunity to attack us again. With
them it became a question of revenge.
as they had lost heavily, while we had
escaped entirely.
The horse that carried Howard so
nobly through the first fight ultimately

were extracted. l afterwards took him

years till he died.

quickly, and within six weeks rejoined

velous on record, as we fought against
such fearful odds. | hope the narra-
