COUNTY TREASURER.

j. Il. Bower of Ellsworth is the
nominee for County Treasurer. Mr..
Bower has served his own town in
many offices and especially as town
treasurer, where he has received the
practical experience required for SO
important an office. Although not
generally known throughout the coun-
ty, the warm commentator he brings
from his own town warrants the as
sertion that he will be elected by a
large majority and prove competent
and popular officer.

best of feeling, and determination
to uphold the ticket as an entirety and
especially to vindicate by the vote in
November the principles of free
schools and the instruction therein of
the language of the country.
The following is list of nominees:
MEMBER OF ASSEMBLY.
The popular present incumbent. d.
j. Dill of Prescott, was renominated by
reclamation. This is just tribute to
a deserving officer. Col. Dill has been
identified with Pierce Co. almost since
its organization into a body polite.
Before the war he was well known as
an active participant in every enter.
prise for the advancement of the in
terests of the county. AS Is well
known he was early in the field as a
volunteer and did valiant service dur
ing the contest. Without seeking Of
flee he has been called into the public
service many times and has served
without fear or reprOach in every in.
stance. There is no doubt of a hearty
endorsement of this nomination.

REGIsrER or DEEDs.

W. E. Warren of Maiden Rock re-
ceived the majority of votes cast for
nominee for Office of Register of
Deeds. Mr.. Warren comes before the
county having passed life thus far
almost without the bounds of politics.
but his merit and the esteem of bis
fellow townsmen secured for him the
position of postmaster and now this
nomination. b. them he is recon-
mended as in every way qualified for
the office and his best endorsement
will come from those who know him
best.

CLERK OF THE COURT.

Mr.. J. ii. Boustead is too well
known to require any endorsement
from us. He is one of those who
seem born to serve their country, and
to do so in such manner as to pro-
cure their recall whenever the public
service requires their aid. Having
had long experience for young
man in public office we can feel as
sured that the interests of the public
will be well served by Mr.. Boustead.

The NrIe's Rosary.

A few years agc, wb,'e my father and
were in southern California, we made
a Journey from Santa Barbara over to
the Santa IneX valley.
We haG Travelled several miles up the
stream. thinking of no danger, when the
Spaniard suddenly halted, and, pointing
with his finger told me to look" Di-
rectlv in the trail and about 200 yards
ahead was a monstrou5 grizzly seated on
the BODY of a mule which he had killed
and having his forelegs ready for instant
action. He appeared to us as big as an
elephant. We were both armed, but pru-
dent, and did not care to attack bear OF
such proportions, so We turned around
and went down out Of his way, returned
to the trail after long detour, and con-
tinued to the home of my friend, the
mine owner.
Here we related our experience and
learned that the unfortunate mule be-
longed to Spaniard who worked i'll the
mine. The owner of the property had
advised the Spaniard to put the mule in
the corral and not let him run loose and
become the victim of a grizzly, but the
mans foresight was not equal to his
hindsight and he decided to pursue his
own course. He fortified the mule by
tying around his neck a string of beads
with a crucifix attached, and felt certain
that these would protect him from bears
and other dangers. In order to allow
the charms full play, he hobbled the an
imal and then turned him out to Craze.
The result we know.
While my friend and the Spaniard were
getting their guns and ammunition ready
1 went up to the mine expecting to be
back in time to go with them and see the
battle with bruin. l followed them on
horseback, but arrived on the scene too
late for the fray When l neared the
place l saw them coming back with the
skin of the bear lying across their horse.
The fight had been short, sharp and de-
cisive. and the conquering party had
found in the stomach of the bear trophy

A Home for His Mother.

Business called me to the United
States Land Office. While there a lad
apparently sixteen or seventeen years
of age came in and presented a certif-
cate for forty acres Of land.
| was struck with the countenance
and general appearance of the boy, and
inquired of him for whom he was pur-
chasing the land.
"For myself, sir"
l then inquired where he had got
the money. He answered, 81 earned
it."
Feeling then an increased desire to
know something more about the boy, [
asked him about himself and parents.
He took seat and gave me the fol-
lowing narrative:
81 am the oldest of five children.
Father is a drinking man, and often
returns home drunk. Finding that
father would not abstain from liquor, /
resolved to make an effort in some way
to help my mother and brothers and
sisters. | got an axe and went into a
new part of the country to work
clearing land, and have saved money
enough to buy forty acres Of land
there"
"Well, my good boy, what are you
going to do with the land ?"
81 will work on it, build log house,
and when it is all ready, will bring
father, mother, brothers and sisters to
live with me. The land want for
my mother, which will secure her from
want and poverty in her old age"
"And what will you do with your
father, if he continues to drink ?"
ooh, sir, when we get him on the
farm he will feel at home and be
happy, and l hope become sober
man."
young man, God bless you
BY this time the Receiver handed
him his receipt for his forty acres
land. As he was leaving the office he
said, "At last | have a home for my
mother"

A novel and most effective apparatus
for extinguishing fires in ships holds
and for rapidly ventilating the holds in
emergencies has been brought out in
England. The scientific basis of the in
vention is the fact of carbonic oxide gas
being inimical to combustion. Fire is
extinguished in the ships Aold by the
apparatus filling it rapidly with fumes
extracted from the boiler funnel, and
cooled and purified on their way to the
hold, vents being left for the expulsion
of fresh air contained in the hold. The
fumes are injected with such rapidity as
to produce an outflow through all vents
and crevices in the hold and thus pre-
vent the ingress of fresh air, which would
otherwise occur.-New Orleans Plea

A New wild Horse.

The great Russian traveller, Prezeval-
sky, has discovered new wild horse,
more nearly allied to the domestic horse
than any previously known species. Pre-
zevalsky, on his return from Central
Asia, brought with him one of these new
species. The horse is described as hav-
ing warts on his hind legs as well as on
its fore legs, and has hard hoofs like the
true horse. But the long hairs of the
tail, instead of commencing at the base,
do not begin until about half way down.
