HEPUBLICA

At the recent meeting of the legislative
committee of this district, at Bismarck, q,
new appertlonment of delegates from the
various counties was made. Emm ons
County is entitled to three representatives
at the convention, which will meet at Bis
marck Oct. 13, at 2 o'clock.
AS will be seen elsewhere in this issue,
a convention Will meet at Williamsport
on Monday, Sept. 6. to choose two dele
gates and two alterhates to the Repub
lican Territorial Convention, which is to
meet at Yankton on Sept. 90.
To save time and travel of delegates, it
would be we'll for the convention of Sept
6 to alsa choose delegates to Bismarck.
Otherwise, there will be three Republican
gatherings this fall--one for Yankton
delegates, one for delegates to Bismarck,
and the regular county convention. Two
conventions certainly ought to suffice
DEM0CRATIC.
A meeting of the County Democratic
Committee was held iast Saturday ct Will

egates to the territorial convention at Alb.
erdeen, which meets on "Wednesday,

Monday. July S, Miss Emma Connolly
walked into Hunters Chapel church,
Sarnwell County, while the Sunday
school was in session, with cooked re
volvsr in her hand, and passing into a
pew behind John A. Steedly, she fired
her pistol into Steedly's back, He arose,
looked around, tried to get out his
pistol, and at the same time made for
the door Miss Connolly snapped her
pistol AZ him again, but it failed to 60
off. Stesdly fell at the door of the
church, inst outside, and died in about
three minutes.
Miss Connolly surrendered herself to
the authorities. Her only excuse for
numbering Steedly, who was her second
cousin, was certain defsmatory reports
circulated by him about her, and
seve raj obscene letters addressed to her
aud her brother by him.
The grand jur- Of Barnwell County
found an Indictment against her for
murder on Monday. The trial came off
to-day and resulted in her acquittal.
Since the commission OF the murder
Miss Connolly has expressed no REGRETS
whatever. This Is the first case OF the
kind ever tried in the South Carolina

Cora PEARLS Last Days.

A Paris Dispatch TO the New York
World says: cat the last Grand Prix one
of the most conspicuous figures to the
principal Enclosure was that of woman
slightly past the middle age, most elabo-
rately dressed In faded finery, walking
with difficulty by the aid of a stick. She
had horrible, corpse-like face, from
which people In the enclosure instructive

ess, when the two met in the Bots. She
was essentially vulgar woman, with
comparatively few physical charms and
certainly no intellectual ones. All her
fascination came from her excellent
horsewomanship. The money of her
admirers was used by her for the estab-
lishment of most elaborate stables filled
with wonderful horses, on one of which
she was always seen in public upon any
distinguished occasion.
"She died in mean tenement house in
the Rue Bassono, attended in her last Ill.

her barely effects enough to pay her last

most forbidding avarice, without spark
of consideration for the score of men

two years seventeen million of francs. At
the end of that time she refused to see
him. One day he forced his way into her
room and endeavored to blow out his
brains before her, but he only fell badly
wounded, upon the pale blue carpet of
her boudoir. She Is said to have called
her servants to come in to prevent him
soiling any more her beautiful carpet.
The last money she spent was black mail

to keep their names out of her Memoirs,

Levy was foolish enough to publish

told In Its Different Forms.

Peculiarities in the form of golt
taken from mining districts often gave
a name to the locality. Chunk Can
yon, Slug Gulch and Specimen Ravint
are examples. A canyon in Ell Dorado
County is called String Canyon. Thil
is said to be on account of the very
singular form of gold dust found ii
that region. Much of it resemble.
pieces of wire, one and two inches il
length, and some of it is as fine as
thread.
Observations of the form of theil
dust often led miners to make very
valuable discoveries. All gold, as is
well known, originally came from
quartz. In its natural state in the
quartz it is very regular in form. Every
rich ravine and canyon had a gold
bearing quartz vein, whose wearing
away by the elements had loosened the
precious metal, to be washed down by
the water among the gravel and sand.
When gold has been washed far from
, its source the attrition causes it to be-
come fine and smooth. AS the miner
approaches the feeding quartz vein the
gold becomes coaIser and more scraggy
till suddenly the pay gives out entire
lily. Then it is certain that rich
quartz ledge is in the vicinity, and in
| this manner veins have yielded many
thousands of dollars in few weeks.
Gold dust buying in the mining
towns was very profitable business
in the early days of California. What
was called black sand composed prin-
cipally of iron, was always mingled TO
a greater or less degree with the dust
when it was brought to the buyer.
This had to be blown out, and often
the finest particles of gold were blown
out with it. Thus in an office where
II large quantity of dust was bought
much of the fine gold would be scat.
tered around the room. The dustings
of buyers counter and sweepings oil
his floor were often worth hundreds OF
dollars q month. Sometimes the buyers
were suspected of cheating in more
|illegitimate manner by slyly appropri-
ating some of the gold while they were
shaking it around and examining it in
the blow-pans.
