Alphonson XII. king of Spain, died
at Madrid, Nov. 25, of consumption.
He was q years Of age and assembled
the throne in 1874. In 1873, Alfonso
married his cousin Maria de las Mer-
cedes, but five months later she died.
In November, 1879, he married the
Archduchess Maria Christina of Aus
ira. Two fulfil e attempts on his life
we're made October, 1873, and Dec
ember, 1879.
The friends of James N. Fike will
be pleased to know that he "got there
as county clerk of Thomas county,
Kansas. We have not received the
exact figures, but understand that his
majority was from Is to so in a total
vote in the county of $40 with two
other candidates in the field. In his
home precinct he received 100 votes
out of 122, handsome and deserved
endorsement by his hew neighbors
that he may well feel proud of. We
congratulate Jim upon his success,
which exemplifes the advantage of
an early training in good school

The following supreme court de-
cision will be of interest to many cit

scheme that comes along 1t is as
follows: mo town or city has right
to give a man license or permit to
sell any wares or merchandise on the
sidewalk or on the street in front of
the property of another person. The
street in front of mans place of bus
mess is held to be an appurtenance to
the lot on which his store is erected
and situated, and belongs to him and

Hon. MOHH lei0dY

Came in from the Dry Fork of Ante
lope Yesterday, carrying in his pocket
some Of the richest antimonial and
brittle silver we have ever seen. Mr..
Biddy is an old prospector, and one
who can hardly be mistaken in the
extent and richness of an ore body
after the experiences he has gone
through. Marsh IS a partner with
Nose, and they think they have ar
ranged with the Houston Smelter to
reduce such as they may ship.
With four men they can keep two
four horse teams running all the time
las it takes team two days to make
trip. The ore is very rich, assayins
away up in the thousands of dollars
and carrying very little galena.
Nose has a place at the mouth o
Alder gulch, couple of miles below
Houston, which he calls "Home, ant
from there he prospects cast, west

temptations OF looking once more in

About ten days ago the men at
work extending the Weiser ditch, on
the fiat, about five miles below this
town, and just below SCOTS creek,
plowed up the skeleton of man.
The news reached this place soon af-
ter, and many old citizens expressed
it as their belief that the bones found
were the remains of E. L. Clark,
who SO mysteriously disappeared from
the Warm Spring creek and Canvas
House neighborhood about 8 years
ago. Mr.. Clark was pioneer miner
Of Rocky Bar, and owned claims on
Warm Spring creek and the Canvas
house. Parties here inform us that
he was seen on Sunday, and that in
few days he was missing, no trace
of the man ever having been found
up to the unearthing of the bones
The old settlers here at that time haC
their suspicious, and strong they were
too. On Tuesday last, after talking
the matter up, a party OF SIX mel
procured carriages and set out to tn
the place where the skeleton ha'
, been exumed to try and find SOM
mark by which the remains might b.
identified. The pillow had SO badl..
broken the bones, smashed In tn
skull and teeth, and the scrapers scat
tered the pieces far and near, that
; was impossible to find anything defn
lite. All the bones found were care
fully gathered together, placed III
> box and brought to town, and ar
now at the court house where the
can be seen by all who wish to exam

effort is being made to degrade this
precious metal, and to prevent it be-
ing money Of the country as ordained
BY the sacred organic instrument pre-
pared by Jefferson and adopted BY
the colonies. The State which has
produced millis ms Of this money has
been cruelty deprived Of its little

silver is SO scarce III Nevada that it is
almost impossible to get enough TO
make the change necessary in the

Out Of nearly 100000 in the State
Treasury at Carson, there are to-day
only 81, 200 in silver. In every town
