After close scrutiny these words are
made out: "Died, on primary dav,

REPUBLICAN.
The G. G. G. are visible yet. Camp
bell is at the front, bearing banner
inscribed: Nominated on the first
ballot, or beaten" "Jack" stands
erect and confident, but there are sew
eral groups behind and beside him
who shake their heads as if in doubt.
Cummings stands at Campbell's rear.
He carries small banner, on which
is written: "Worlsed ia Broadford to
catch the miners. ! am from Storey
county, Nevada, by jingo!" There
are small groups near him, but they
seem to be looking up WOOD River
valley, as they hear shouts from an
other portion of the Dial. These
voices cry, "Shoshone wants a Com
missioner; Bellevue wants an AS
eessor. Let's make a combination!"
These groups appear to be i'll at ease,
for Erv. Johnson is Bellevue man.
With a Jolly greeting, a red-haired
blonde standing near Campbell.
throws bis flag to the breeze. On it
is written: "Ketchum is true to the
party. She only asks for Sheriff. She
did intend to ask for another officer,
but gave it up. I am her candidate
for Sheriff. Elect me, if you will;
if not, will take my medicine like a
man." This is the third C.-Cassidy.
The other groups turn and listen, and
then there is a whispered consultation.
Soon, by two and three, they move
over and take places behind this red
haired knight who takes things so
coolly. A light breaks above his
head, but it pales somewhat under
that which breaks behind the &. G. G.
and dlscloses the "dark- horse" man,
ready, apparently, for the forward
march that begins September 9th
just ten days hence.
AUDITOR AND Observation-Disclosures
Mr.. Cannady is still on the Dial.
He looks sick. He mutters some
thing about the "split in the party"
and the "anti Chinese vote against"
him. Then he seems to be figuring
up his chances of success. "Shall !
try Recorder or Sheriff." he is saying.
Suddenly Gum is brought upon the
Dial and Mr.. Cannady says: "Sheriff,
| guess, is safer.'

section OF the rear wall of which was blown
down. The damage to the building was
$4,000. Mrs. Roberts saloon and board
ing house, on the turnpike road, was car
ried about five hundred feet, and the family

Ninety.Six, =. c., Since January. 1885.
New YORK, Oct. 13.-A Charleston Is.
c. special says: "A local scientist, known
to be an accurate observer. was recently
selected to investigate the story that EARTH
quake shocks have been felt at Ninety-six,
5. C., about thirty miles from the Georgia
line. 100 miles from Charleston, eighteen
months past, and were increasing in vigOr
and frequency. His report confirms it.
One influential farmer. j. Med. Kinard,
living at the seat of trouble. says he first
heard the underground noise i'm January,
1855. He heard noises frequently the
first day, but did not hear them again for
several days. The longest period Of rest
between the sounds, all agree, was just be.
fore the Charleston earthquake. The
sound of that movement was like the roar
ing Of train Of cars and lasted longer than
the others. The others were all dull bOOms
without repetitions They all caused the
houses to shake and sashes to rattle. For
two weeks before last week the noises were
heard night and day. Few persons had q
single nights sound rest Ten reports were
heard Sunday night last week, two so heavy
that DR.. T. 5. Blake twice arose thanking a
thunderstorm was passing, but the sky was
clear. The reports have been heard at in.
tervaIs ever since. John Williamson says
one shock on that Sunday night made his
house, new one, tremble for half I min.
ute. The shocks come from the southeast
and seem to be almost vertical impulses.
The district affected Is about ten miles
square, covering what Is known as Cam.

BOGUS NOTES.
Look Out For Spurious Ten'Dollar Silver
CertIficAtes.

Look Out For Spurious Ten'Dollar Silver
CertificAtes.
CHICAGO, Oct 12.-S0me clever counter
fciters have been operating in Chicago for
the past few days and have succeeded i'm
widely circulating spurious SO silver
certificates. The counterfeits are OF the
new series, bearing the portrait of the late
Vice-President Hendricks, which were
issued short time ago. 1t is understood
that the band had an agent in Washington,
who, A. soon the notes were Obtainab.e,
purchased q number OF them and FASTENED
to this city. Whether, they were able to
make plates in so short space Of time
ID doubted and it is surmissd that they
had some portion of the work completed be-
fore the bills appeared. Tho bogus notes
are excellent limitations of the genuine
certificates, and inasmuch - tho originals
had not yet arrived before the cOunisrfsits
were presented, no difficulty was expert
enced in working them oil. A few days
ago the United States Secret Service De-
partment in this city received Zip" that
the counterfeit certificates were in circula-
ton, and detectives were. Immediately sent
out to follow the matter up. A local de-
tective agency was employed by the banks.
and has also been detailed to work up the
case. Saturday a young Hebrew was ar
rested. charged with being one OF tile cOun-
terfeiters, and is now locked up at the Cen
trail station. 1t Is said there are some half.
aOzen men implicated, but the detectives
keep what information they have very quiet.
Owing to the prOmptness with which the
bogus notes were issued, IL is believed that
Chicago people have been pretty badly vic.

track layers ON the Northwestern railway
extension to Lincoln finished their work
and the rails were connected with the Mis-
souri, Pacific depot tracks. Work will be-
active for few days surfacing and putting

erected.
The Missouri Pacific has put on regular
trains between Lincoln ard Omaha, leaving
Lincoln early in the morning and returning
at night. A free chair car is one of the at
fractions. Three trains now leave Lincoln
each morning between seven AMI eight

hoes Island.
NEW York, Oct. 13.-The work Of lay
ing the foundation for the electrical plant
which Is to light the statue of Liberty
was begun yesterday. The vault in the
northern angle Of the parapet has been
selected for the engine and boiler room.
The bomb.prOof recess adjoining the
vault will be useful for the dynamo ma
chimes and electric plant. A special
electrical machine and electric plant,
capable Of operating twenty lamps of {, 1000
candle-power EACH, has been presented to
the committee by President Edward H.
Golf of the American Electric Manufact.
uring Company. The dynamos are be.
ing constructed specially for the lamps,
each one of which has three times the
power Of the ordinary arc lights used
about the city. A strongly insulated
cable will encasc the wires. which will
prevent the mass of iron and bronze in
the statue from disturbing the current of
electricity. The lamps will be self.acling
with duplex carbon burners, and sur.
rounded by globes OF either plain or
ground glass.
The first plan of the committee was to
have the lights inside of the torch shin
ing through lenses set In the bronze. 1t
is now decided to place eight of the 5000
candle power lamps ut equal intervals on
the balcony that surrounds the torch, In
the same fashion as those at He'll Gate.
1t is probable that refectors will be
placed behind each lamp to intensity the
light. Four of these lamps with COM
bined power of $4,000 candles will be
visible from thirty To- forty miles distant.
The light will be the first seen by ocean
steamers approaching New York
at night. In addition to the eight
lights on the torch there will be lamps
of equal power at the base of
the pedestal. These lamps will be placed
behind the parapets, out OF view from
the water, for the purpose of lighting
the outside of the statue. Powerful re-
fcctors will be used to throw the light
upon all sides of the statue so that it
will be brilliantly illuminated from the
top OF the pedestal TO the torch. BY OBJ
scuring the lights ut the base of the
pedestal, the outlines of the statue will
be clearly visible on the darkest nights.
The iron case in the interior of the pedes-
tai and the passage-way up through the
statue to the torch will be lighted by
small incandescent lamps.
The cost OF the electric plant is about
five or ten thousand dollars, which Is
presented by President Golf, with all the
lamps, wires aud necessary apparatus.
The crowds of visitors to Liberty Island
have increased SO recently that the Judd
Field is unable to carry them all. The
committee have chartered the large side
wheel steamer Florence, which will begin
running to-day. The Jud Field will leave
the wharf next to the blrge office on the
even hours and the Florence ON the half
hours.
