AN OBJECT IN VIEW.

The republican convention will meet
at Yakima on the 3rd for the selection
OF delegates to the national convention.
The action Of Washington may be Of
very great Importance, notwithstand-
ing our delegation will be small. There
are many avowed candidates in the
field, and all of them are more or less
worthy of the honor. There are two
things to be considered in connection
with the nomination, and only two {:
First, is the nominee competent, wor-
thy and honest; and second, can he be
elected. All honest men are not popu-
lar, many competent men are un-
popular.
OF the doubtful states, Indiana aud
Connecticut or New York, If carried
by the republicans, would elect the
republican candidate. The question
is, what shall the republicans work
for? Shall it be for Indiana and Con-
necticut, or for New York; To the
end that our territorial convention
may work to an advantage, it should,
it seems to us, have some object in
view
Who can carry New York? We do
not believe that single republican
named can win the electoral vote of
the empire state. 1t is claimed for
Mr.. BLAINE that he can carry New
York, Indiana and Connecticut. But
what fact is this claim based upon?
In 'S4 Mr. BLAINE failed to carry any
OF these states. Is he stronger now
than then? or is MR.. CLEVELAND

threats and complaints from numerous
sections; but they are meaningless.

The admirable discipline maintained

to be wondered at, if it were not

f. G. ZIMMERMAN DEAD.


Frederick C. Zimmerman was born December
Goth, 1893. in FreIburg Province of SaxOny, Prus-
STA. He was the second of seven children born to
Chrstiana Zimmerman. His father born in
1902, and died in 1854 having spent his life in the
rearing of sheep. His mother was originally
Christiana Hege.
He attended the common schools Of SaXony
until fourteen years old, when he was apprenticed
to learnthe business Of gunsmith. He followed
this avocation as apprentice and journeyman until
he attained the age of twenty, when, according to
the law Of Prussia, he entered the military service
in which he remained three years a part of the
time on detail as inspector of arms at Cologne on
the river Rhine. His term having expired, he was
employed at his trade for several years in different
parts of his native country, when he went to Paris
France, where he remained until 1861. He then
crossed into England and piled his calling in Lon
don for about two years. In 1853 he immigrated
to America, and landed in New York. where he
first found employment at his trade: afterwards at
Trenton, New Jersv, Springfield, Mass, and New
Britain Connecticut. In 1868 he started for the
west and engaged in selling guns on commission
and repairing firearms at Laramie City, Wyoming
Territory. In the fall of 1862 he located at Sheri
dan, Kansas. with stock of guns, ammunition
and sportin. goods, where he remained five months.
At the end of that time, he transferred his bust
ness to Kit Carson, Colorado Territory, and resd-
ed there about two years In July, 1872 he pur-
chased lumber at Russell, on the Kansas Pacific
railroad, and, crossing the country, located at
Dodge City, when there were but two canvas
houses in the place, and here erected a building,
in which he began the business of gunsmithing
and hardware and trimmings. The two canvass
houses were saloons, and besides these was pOr-
table house which was used supply store,
furnishing goods and provisions to the
poycd in grading the Atchison Topeka Il Santa
Fe railroad in 1874 he added to his other bust
ness that OF general merchandising, and in 1873
that of lumber together with an extensive trade
in agricultural implements.
Since residing in Dodge City he has acquired
large amount of both city and country property,
having splendid from and beautiful home adj
joining the town.
Politically he has been a republican. having
identified himself with the party on his arrival in
New York, but was remarkably liberal man in
his views, prefering the man to party in local
politics. contests His religious sentiments
were also liberal, but at same time good christ
tian man in all his department. His position in
name stands, Vice President Of the Merchants
State Bank of Dodge City, and his good manage
ment, and strict integrity has rewarded him in the
neat Of about $780, O00-wih all his liberality,

FROM ENSIGN.

One year ago Mr.. Chas. Higbee while
digging a well struck secpof water at
the depth of 1877 feet which afforded two
pals per day, Mr.. Higbee thought he
could hear water running and probed the
side of the well but could find no more
water. but continued to dig and bore to a
depth of 193 feet through slate rock los
ing all the water he had found. BY its
soaking into the wall he abandoned the
well until September last he took the cur
bing out below the solid rock, which was
1870 feet below the surface, consequently
the dirt caved and filled the well to 1853
feet leaving large reservoir under the
rock, and to Mr.. Higbee's joy he finds it
to furnish plenty of water for two famil-
les and 10 head of stock.

with an eulogy on the deceased, charac-
