Elect Batten district attorney.
The office will be honestly admin
istered. It will not be under the
influence of any Ring; it will not
be run for party purposes; it will
not sanction the payment of $4,000,
claimed by two Ring attorneys, for
floating Alturas county bonds. The
said claim is pending before the
commissioners. The present dis
trict attorney would not dare to
recommend payment; it was too
near election. Set down on Ring
manipulation by giving a black eye
to Waters, the biggest ringster and
the cleverest professional politician
that ever walked on Idaho soil.
Waters, as a lawyer, is unknown
in the county; he is we'll known as
land grabber and an unseitish
politician. PHOENIX.

P0NTIFICAL MASS.
Its Celebration at st. Mary's
Cathedral.
A Most Beautiful and impressive
Service.
A Sermon by Father Nugent ant
Fine Singing.

Although it was the fourth service of
the day, the Pontlfcal high mass celebra-
ted at st. Mary's cathedral by Bishop
Burke, was largely attended, every pew
in the edifice being occupied. Many
strangers were present to witness the
beautiful service.
To the Ri. Rev. Bishop Burke, Deacon
Father Lyons and Sub-Deaoon Father
Nugent belongs the honor of celebrating
the first Ponti6cal high mass observed in
Wyoming.
The ceremony was elaborate, yet per-
formed with simplicity. To the devout
and curious alike it seemed a most appro-
pirate manner of observing the holy day.
His Lordship Bishop Burke was at
tired in the magnificent papal robes and
the deacon and sub-deacon were ~ittingly
clothed.
After the gospel Father Nugent. who
is a mos pleasing pulpit orator, preached
a characteristic sermon. He told of the
humble birth of Christ and his great la
bors for mankind. Then followed timely
advice and kindly admonitions to the
faithful The sermon was one which
made the minds of the hearers revert to
acts of everyday life and resolve to en-
deaver to serve the Master better.
The usual indulgences to the faithful,
as granted by Bishop Burke, were an
nounced by Father Nugent.
The singing for the occasion was most
delightful. Miss Nellie Dryer led the
choir. and her rich. powerful and sweet
soprano voice filed the church with mel
ody. The other members OF the choir
were the Misses Maginnis, Belle Dryer,
Mercer, Mrs. Goodwin and Messrs. DIVER
and Goodwin. Bollman's famous mass,
arranged for the occasion, was the music.
1t is a difficult composition. but was
faultlessly rendered.
The altar and auditorium we're hand
somely decorated.

A SUDDEN DEATH.
Maj. Clayton Died at Fort Russell
Last Night.
Attacked with Heart Disease While
Dancing.
Tragic Demise of a Loyal Soldier
and Fine Gentleman.

A most tragic and deplorable event sud
denly interrupted and terminated a hop at
Fort Russell last night
While a dance in which he was partici-
psting was in progress Maj. Henry Clay
ton suddenly paled. placed both hands
over his heart and staggered to a chair.
A few who perceived his illness bore the
stricken man to an adjoining room and
summoned DR.. Ives. The ailment was
the fatal heart malady and the major had
passed away before the physician arrived.
All remedies at hand had been applied
during the messengers absence and the
doctor brought an electric battery into
requisition, but a revival was impossible.
He lived but a few minutes after the at
tack.
Many in the ball room, including the
majors daughter. had not noticed the
occurrence and it became the sad duty of
friends to apprise them of the sudden
death. Mrs. Clayton displayed iron res
olution and comforted her daughter,
WlObC RIlCl was uuIC5kIdllCu-
The remains we're conveyed to the resi-
dence OF Capt. Van Horn, where they
will remain until to day, when arrange
ments for the obsequies will be made.
City gentlemen who were at the post
hurried to town and informed Julius
Clayton. the majors brother of the sud-
den demise. He stated that deceased had
been a victim to heart troubles several
years ago, but all believed that he had
fully recovered.
Maj. Clayton leaves a wife who is a
most estimable woman, charming
daughter on the threshold of womanhood
and a 17-year-old son who is attending
school at Washington, D. @. The dead
had been stationed in this city as
paymastef about three months and by
making acquintances made steadfast
friends. He was companionable and of
a noble nature. Last evening he
seemed even more pleasant than
usual and made merry with
bevy Of young people whom he carried to
the post in his ambulance.

run that New York has known at any

remarkable, and has never been known of
more than a dozen pieces in the worlds
