completed and it is expected that the
building will Ike ready for use iii the
cousc of two weeks. A large swim-
ming pool has been constructed which
will furnish much amusement and
healthful exercise for those fond Of
swimming. The great specific gravity
of the mineral water renders swimming
in it perfectly easy and scarcely any
effort is required to keep atloat.
The weather during the past week
has l,een unusually cool for this season
of the year and showers have been of
almost daily occurancc. This is mage
nificent weather for small grain, which
promises to yield abunlantly. On
Tuesday John Richer handed as few
stalks Of rye from Martins Valley
which lays oyer anything of the kind
yet seen this year. It is headed out,
measures forty-ive inches in height,
stands thick on the ground, is of good
color and promises an enormous yield.
sAnotllegs process of reducing re-
refractory ores, where every other
known process has failed, at cost
of ST so per ton, is said to have been
discovered by the government chemist
of the mines in the department. of
Victoria. a company with $3.50, 600
capital has been organized and 200
ton smelter will be built at Denver.
The recent discoveries of processes by
which refractory ores can be treated
at nominal expense bid fair to revolt
utionize mining and place the hereto
fore considered valueless MINES OF re-
fractory ores among the foremost pro-
ducers.
The St. Louis Republican, one of tine
leading and most influential democratic
| journals in the country, commenting
on the possible readoption of the tariff
plank in the platform of 1884, says
among other things: Such action on
the part of the convention would be
suicidal; worse than that, it would be
stultifying. If the presidents message
and the uttcrances Of leading demo-
crats in and out of congress since the
appearance Of the message are to re-
salt in q straddlc and a dodge on the
part Of the national convention, then
the party is betrayed, and the battle is
lost before it is begun.
\ Henry Wattcrson, the brilliant edit
or of the Louisville Courier-Journal,
and chairman of the committee on reso-
; lutions of the democratic national con-
yention is opposed to the nomination
of Thurman for vice-prcsident. OF
the advocates of putting the old man
! on the ticket he says: "'rlley mistake
their affection for an act of wisdom" !"

Watterson again. ''in bringing that old

Mr.. E. Calhoun, who was taken to
Hot Springs few weeks ago, suffer-
ing intense agony from rheumatism,
being then perfectly helpless, was ON

well man. He speaks in the highest
terms Of praise Of the curative powers
