copy of Demorest's Monthly Haga-
zine, for the October number, which
has just arrived, suggests to us that
this is the queen of the family mag
azines. We DO not see how slch a
magazine can be published for only
81 per year. The beautiful water
color in this number ("Afternoon
Tea is worth more than the price
of a single number, and the articles
and illustrations are equal to those
in the 81 magazines. The first arti-
Gle, "On an Ocean Steamer" is
beautifully illustrated, and not only
gives us an idea of the interior of
one of these floating palaces, but
tells US some interesting facts about
life aboard one, how much ood is
consumed, etc. After very long
list of interesting literary matter,
comes the fashion department; and
one of the great features of this is
that in each number is printed an
order emitting the holder to the
selection of any pattern manufac-
tured. Here is present of at least
25 cents; and the magazine is sold
for only 30 cents per copy. Pub

DEATH IN THE .SNO w.
nY y. A. osRoRNK.

1t seems so long ago; but some
how the impression has not dimmed,
1t has set itself apart among the few
incidents never to be effaoed. Ii
was all 80 new to me then, before
succeeding scenes had made death
more familiar, and a novel situation
less to be noted. And here ] might
say that fate seems to have thrown
my steps where events seemed un-
usual, maybe to show me that after
all one who follows the even tenor
of his way has less of vexation and
less of wear and tear on his moral
and physical qualities than he who
is exposed to degradation in its low
est forms, and to whom the succeed
ing day il more or less an uncer-
tainty.
We may all remember the excite
ment which followed the discovery
of the Cover d. Alene mines some
five years ago 1t vas my lot, or
misfortune 70 partake Of the same.
During my journey westward little
else was talked Of, and at every im-
portant station o junction we had
an influx of passengers for the new
Eldorado; many s1pposlng that 1t
would equal or surpass the discoy-
cries Of old 40, or at least Alder or
Last Chance gulch Of Montana in
the sixties. 1t was a disappoint-
ment to the many; but since then it
has proved good camp when cap
ital went in to develop it. There
was not the fortune to be made 10 a
few weeks, but ultimate iHyestiga-
tions and investments have made 1t

its ore to many localities.
do not know that ! can call my.
self a fool for following the hue and
cry for the mines. take 1t that a
fool is one who is not consistent
with the general notions of the great
majority. In this case the majority
were all for the mines, and talked Of
nothing else, aud il was, "L0ni soft
qui nal y pense." 1t was March,
and though through all that region
between the Wind River Mountains
and the main range Of the Rockies
the snow had disappeared from the
valleys, yet when we crossed the
| divide and went down toward the
| Pacific the snow renewed itself, aud
at the starting point for the mines
| 10 the interior, near Trout Creek, 1t
was four feet on the level.
All through the vast, dim forests
that stretched up the mountain
slopes, and in the narrow, forest
bound valleys it lay like mantle Of
death over all; truly mantle OF
death to many Of the "pllgrims
who wandered homeless and com
paratiyely shelterless through ITS
chilling depths in search Of the gold

Free Trade or Nothing.

One of the Oldest and most prom
inent Democrats in this city doubts
the assertion, and demands the proof,
that Wstterson, of the Louisville
Courier r-Journdl, is a free trader.
Here are few extracts from Wat
terson's paper, which is leading
supporter of the Cleveland admin
istration:
I'VE demand tariff reform and we set our
faces in the direction of free trade"
"The Democrat ,eho Is not q free trader
should 90 else,rhere"
The conflict between free trade and Protec-
ton is irrepressible and must DO fought out to
the bitter end. We spit upon compromises
and propose neither TO ask nor to give quarter" :"
THE Democratic party, except in the person
of imbecies hardly worth mentioning, is not
upon the fence. 1T is A FREE TRADE PARTY OR
1T is NOTHING"
There can be no cooked-up platform and no
compromise candidate"
The black flag is up. No quarter viii be
asked and no quarter will be given"
Is any more proof required? If 30
take the fact that WatteTson is a
member of "The New York Free
Trade Club" His speeches, which
might lead to a contrary belief, are
of no consequence, only to prove
that he is hypocritical at times.

last week and secured for Mr.. Col

A GYMNASIUM club was organized
Tuesday evening by about twenty
five young men of this city. The
officers chosen were as follows: For
president, Rob. Hughes; vice-presi-
dent, Algie Beech; Treasurer, Ru-
dolf Spratler; Secretary, George
Foster; marshal, JOS. Quirk; execu-
tive committee, John Curry, David

The time for the discussion be-
tween VIM. E. Carter, Republican,
of Plat.eville, and T. G. Richmond,
Prohibitionist, of Madison, is fixed
for Friday, October 5th, at 2:30 pm.
1t is quite likely that an extra train
will run from this city to connect

J. NJ. ELLSWORTH met with good
success in showing his horses at the
State fair. "O'Leary" was awarded
first premium for horse for all pur-
poses, and his large Shire horse tied
another for first in its class, the blue
ribbon being attached to both. 1t
is claimed, and is being proven that
this section of tho State has the
best to be found in all kinds Of
stock.
You Don't take it? Well, madam,
you ought to-for yourself and your

Book, the October number of which
is on our table. 1t is a magnificent
number for autumn reading. Full
of fashion illustrations and direc.
tions; valuable helps in household
matters; choice hints for literary
culture; and wealth of stories,
long and short. Just enough love
affairs in these stories to give them
a suitable spicing in that direction.
The frontispiece is a gem of art;
and, in a word, we don't see how
such magazine as this can be made
for the low price of two dollars a

At ne State Senatorial conven-

Hon. r. L. Joiner, of Iowa county,
was nominated by acclamation with

To large majority of the voters of

whether there is one who does not
regard the nomination as frst-class--
one Of the very best that could ha,e
been made. Mr.. Joiner is the en-

will be elected and prove credit to

Sherman was the first OF the f~avorito sons
to shy his castor into tho ring.
Always assuming that Maine remains
truo To its whito plumcd favorito son,
this makes seven states that nave do
clarcd for %favorite sons. 1t does not fol
low however, that there arc not other
states with ~favorito sons. The Illinois
Republicans adopted a ~favorito son in tho
person OF Judge Gresham. lacking q fa
vorito son born to tho manor soil. Now
York with its Dcpcw and Pennsylvania
with its Cameron do not need to resort
TO tho adoption process to secure ~favorito
sons II there arc any other states, how.
ever. without ]favOrito sons of their own
they can follow tho example OF illinois
md adopt n ]favorito son from somo other
state. There Is no good reason why any
state should appear at tho Chicago con.
vention without n ~favorito son OF somo
sort.
Tho interesting part Of this f~avorito son
comedy will develop later on. When tho
f~avoritc sons from all the other states

son from Maine tho public will under.
