THE TICKET.

For the first time since Emmons
county was organized 1t has been,
recognized by the nomination of one
OF its citizens TO territorial po.
sitlon of honor and trust. At the
county Republican convention held on
Tuesday of last week delegates were
chosen to the Steele convention and
BY resolution they were instructed to
work for the nomination of James B.
Gayten as one of the three delegates to
the constitutional convention. In pursu.
ance of this policy, the Emmons county
delegation, ignoring all past differences
IN county politics, worked unitedly and
successfully to gain a representative for
this county, and Commissioner Clayton
was unanimously nominated. Mcintosh.
Emmons and Logan--counties that will
probably form one legislative district in
the new state--stuck together and nomi-
mated Messrs. Gayton and Fay. the latter
gentleman from Mcintosh. and agreed to
stick together at the polls. Logan. being
smaller population. asked nothing. Wells
and Kidder, with some votes in LaMoure,
claim to be able to pull the third candi-
date into port The Democrats have
nominated Mr Fridley, of Steele, and in
this county it is likely that the Democratic
vote will be Frldley and Clayton.
Our space is crowded, and we will close
by saying that all Republicans who
| want to see Emmons-the banner county
of this distrlct--rctain the confidence OF
our sister counties of Mcintosh and Lo-
gan, and continue to hold her newly
| acquired influence in. the politics of the
| commonwealth, ought to turn out solidly
| and cast their votes. Should some Repub.
llcans sulk in their tents, we fear others
will do likewise in future, and our out
| side influence thus be minimized. BY all
means. vote. And, if Emmons county
Democrats wish to have influence in
the future councils of their party, they
| will do likewise.

Bent Wood.
From lhe Amerloan Architect.

We have all seen the beautiful Austrian
bent wood chairs and furniture, which owe
their popularity, perhaps, as much to their
charming design as to their strength and
durability; and most Of us have had some
curiosity to know how they were made.
The Revue Industrielle explains the mat
ter, at least so far as the processes could be
Buda Pesth. Within a few years the
methods of treating the wood have been
improved and the application of the mate
rial much extended; carriage wheels, for
instance, having their rims made of
single piece of ash or oak, bent to a circle,
with great advantage in point of strength
and cheapness over those made with fellies
sawed in small sections out Of straight
pieces of wood. The material to be bent
is, for furniture, usually red beech, which
grows very abundantly in the Hungarian
forests The timber is sawed into strips
one and one-half to two inches square, ac-
cording to the work for which it is intended,
and then turned in lathe into smooth,
round rods These rods are placed in an
air-tight case, where they are exposed for
fifteen minutes to the action of superheated
steam. They are then so soft and pEable
as to be easily bent by hand, and are in
this condition fitted to iron patterns, well
secured, and left to dry. The drying takes
from two to eight days, according to the
size of the piece. Whenit is complete the
wood is detached from the pattern and is
ready to be Joined with other pieces, var
nished, polished and sent out in the shape
of finished furniture
