Thursday was the anniversary of the
great mill explosion which took place
IN this city on the evening of May 2,
1873, and from which nineteen lives
were sacrificed. the memory of that
sad event seems to have almost escaped
the notice of our people.

There were eleven bills passed by the
legislature during the last days of the
session that Governor Merriam failed to
attach his signature to thus consigning
them to oblivion. If the Governor had
commenced earlier in the session in his
failure to sign bills the State might not,
after all, be heavy loser.

VIA. Fl. Earnum. chairman of the
Democratic National Committee, died
at Lime Rock, Connecticut, last Tues
day, at the age Of II. He was one of
the best political organizers in this
country and his place will not be easily

Considerable ado has been made over
the fact that w. V. Herancourt, special
artist for Harper's Weekly, at Guthrie,
Oklahoma, died a natural death there.
From the events of the past two weeks
in that country there is good reason for
