The of the Butte Inter
Mountain relative tO the republican
aspirants for the federal senate were
not kept up with the persistence of h
average continued story. The truth il
that n majority at republicans this side
n range have - decided preference for
Ex-Governor White. and they wonder
why the republican press is not pro-
noting his candidacy and showing mp
his points. Of course, there's the
RECORD scored by the governor an mem-
BIER of the state returning board, so
shameless that no democrat could
stand up under il and survive am in
formal ballot. With republicans, how
ever. that escapade is "a positive recon-
mendation. Governor Whites party
likes him and wants him tn be u sell
atOr. If anybody turns up who proves
tn he "a darker horse than the Dillon
favorite. il must be IA candidate so fa-
miliar with ways that are dark that he
could successfully work u drift at the
4O-foot level without the aid of "a snuff.

Extraordinary Fire Tests.
TULARE, CAL. August 10, 1856.


HALLS SAFE ~ Lock Co:
GENTs-Doubtless you are acquainted
with the facts of the recent fire which COM
pletely destroyed the business portion Of
our town. We wish you could see the Safe
we just bought of you.
1t was opened with difficulty because the
outer sheets of both doors were badly
warped, and the bolts would not turn, but
the combination Is in perfect order, and by
using wrench we opened the bolts by the
Combination.
The inside doors, and cabinet work, and
everything inside is in perfect order.
1t is a pleasure to see the admiration eX-
pressed by everyone at seeing it in such
good order. We think every other Safe in
town was scorched inside, though all the
Hall Safes are in good condition. We are
satisfied it would be to your interest to
send a salesman down at once, as nothing
but a Hall Safe will sell now.
The outer doors of ours must be repaired,
and our Safe is again new. The old one
which we sold stood it as well as before,
and better than many new ones. (This
was the third fire it has passed through.

The above was Halls No. 90 Double
Door Safe, and was burned in the great
fire which destroyed the whole business
portion of the town of Tulare on the night
of August &c. 1886.
AS stated in the above letter, all the
Hall Safes in the fire, (and there were
many of them,) preserved their contents
in good condition, and the same can be
said of every fire that has occurred in
California or elsewhere.

The danger of sudden accidental death or
manning is constant and great, and the bare
record Of the numerous cases Is acutely sug-
gestive Of inexpressible suffering; but,
strange to say, it does not worry the average
brakeman much. Though probably thou
sand trainmen are killed in this country
every year and four or five thousand injured
by collisions and derailments, in coupling
cars, falling Off trains, striking low over head
bridges, and from other causes, no one brake
man, from what he sees in his own experience,
realizes the danger very wildly. As IN
other dangers which are constant but ineyi-
table, familiarity breeds careiessness whicn
Il closely akin TO contempt. Falling from
trains Is really serious danger, because the
most ceaseless caution-next to impossible
for the average man to maintain--is neces-
sary to avoid missteps. This will be practi-
caliy abolished when the long wished for air
brake comes into use, as that will obyiate the
necessity of riding on the tops OF the cars

A RemnrlrnI,la Rock.

Professor Henry Beals, fellow Of the
Royal Society OF London, has been making
special search for rocking stones" His
journeyings have been very successful. His
search for rocking stones" has been made in
conjunction with biologists on the Continent,
who are seeking TO establish beyond contro-
versy tho theory that these great rocks and
curiously balanced stones, which in many in
stances are as large as a small house, were
carried on floating icebeygs during the mys-
terious era known IS tho glacial period. OF
tho rocking stones he has discovered but one
new example Ia addition to that already
known. This Is ut Noanlr, ON the farm Of
Caleb Haley, New York fish dealer,
This stone is estimated to weigh twenty-five
tons. 1t has rocking scope of six inches
and can be- readily moved by the hand Only
one other stone Is known Of in New England
