In abiding to a reference in the Sun
to Judge Oorn's majority in Uinta
county the Evanston Register says: 1t
was Just as reasonable to expect Judge
Corn to run ahead Of his ticket here as it
was to expect it of @. d. Clark. Both
have warm personal friends among their
political opponents and both received
more than their party vote. While we
are on this subject we will call the atten-
ton Of Mr. Slack to the dissatisfaction
existing here among the Republican can
didates who were defeated on the county
ticket They are all wondering why MIR.
Carey could not have made their election
as secure as his own. OF course it was not
to be supposed that Mr.. Carey could lose
bis time m~onkeying with a few paltry
Offices such as sheriff, clerk aud treasurer;
but to the gentlemen who suffered defeat
it looks as if Mr.. Carey might have in
cluded them in the shuttle"

Avenged HI. sroth.r,. p.ath.

A ~17-year-old boy, whose mother had
suffered death and worse at the hands
OF Hermanezillo Chavez, a notorious
bandit, has been the means of bringing
Chavez to his end. Chavez had NAL
treated, robbed and killed the woman
The boy, when he heard the manner Of
his mothers death, threw down the
implements with which he was working
OF a coffee plantation, seized his ma
chete and declared he would do
another days work until his mother
was avenged, and disappeared.
Ten days afterward he came to police
headquarters, and said he had discov-
cred the rendezvous of Chavez and his
accomplices on an abandoned ranch a
few miles out from the city. He led
the troops to the place in the dead Of
night The bandits, finding themselves
trapped, surrendered without a shot,
Chavez was tried, convicted and shot.

TIE VTADUCP MATTER.

10 conclusion, we respectfully suggest
to The LEADER that 1t cease TO stir up
strife in this community and pull in line
with the element that is doing all IN its
power for the advance of the city. The
campaign is now over.
The Sun is only half right in the fore
going paragraph. In its limited political
sense the campaign is over, but there Is =
broader, more significant compaIgn al
ways going IN. 1t is a campaign in which
the people and especially the taxpayers
are deeply interested and it will never be
concluded so Ions as there remains a pub
lie abuse to be remedied.
The Suns remarks were drawn forth
by the tact that THE LEADER called
public attention to the necessity
for building the Central avenue
viAduet; because it showed that
the proposed viad1ct terminated on the
north side between the tracks Of the Bur
%linRtou and Union Pacif, railroads; that
therefore it did not seem calculated to fll
the fullest measure OF public good aud
consequently as the people would be
obliged to pay $50, coo for it it might be
well to investigate the case a little further
and see if some arrangement could not he
made to cover all the railroad tracks.
This, we submit is a very reasonable
proposition, unless, as is too often the
case, there should happen to be a niger
in the wood pile Perhaps this may &C
count for the Suns wiliul perversion OF
THE LEADERS, statement OF the case.

The either is no child of these later
days. Quite the reverse. The ancient
Egyptians had an instrument which
they called a kinnor, and which in all
essential points was the prototype of
the either. This was some three thou
sand years ago, and from that time
down to the present there has always
been an instrument in the hands of one
Of the leading nations of the world that
was in most respects identical with the
either. In the time Of David and Sol
ONION the either was played in the great
temple of Jerusalem, and the ancient
Greeks valued their kithara very high

A Young Aulhor.. eood rsr.uns.


The experience of Mr.. F. Eaton, the
winner of The Youths Companion
prize of 81, 900 for the best story for
girls in the recent competition, is a strik-
Ing illustration of the successes that
are occasionally won at a bound by
wholly unknown writer's of fiction. His
prize story. WAY out n the Prary
Kentry," which appeared in the me
mortal day issue of The Companion,
was the second short story he ever
wrote and the first one that he ever
submitted to n publisher. Mr.. Eaton
Is 80 years OF age, married and a law
yer by vocation. He enjoys a lucra-
tive practice at Olean, n. Y, the place
Of his BIRTH aud is now serving his
seventh term as city attorney.
In his fifteenth year Mr. Eaton re-
ceived a severe gunshot wound while
hunting pigeons, which deprived him
of the end of ono finger and filed an
arm with bird shot. At the age of 10
he conceived the idea that a farmers
life would perhaps restore his health,
and accordingly he went to Skaneat-
eles, N. Y, ''hired out" to a farmer,
and OBLIGATED as a farm hand for siH
months. There seemed to be so little
money in the farming business, how
ever, that he resigned, and in 1877 be-
gan the study of law at Olean. The
pecuniary rewards of a law student are
not usually great, and to swell his In
como Mr.. Eaton went to Clermont, Pa,
and taught school among the miners
for a time, keeping bachelors hall in a
little cabin. In 1880 he was admitted
to the bar. Mr.. Eaton has always been

mirer Of Nathaniel Hawthorne. Cur

The transition from long, lingering and
painful sickness to robust health marks
an epoch IN the life of the individual.
Such a remarkable event is treasured in
the memory and the agency whereby the
good health has been attained is CRATE
fully blessed. Hence it is that so much
is heard in praise of Electric Bitters. So
many feel they owe their restoration to
health to the use Of the Great Alternative
and Tonic. Ii you are troubled with any
disease of kidneys, liver or stomach, of
long or short standing, you will surely find
relief BY use of Electric Bitters. Sold at

THE SENATOR'S


The way in which W. j. Medium,
secretary OF state, and DR.. J. II. Fin
lrock are applying themselves to their
canvass for the United States senatorship
is causing a little alarm among the other
candidates. Besides Mr.. Rinirock, Lara.
mic presents the names OF Hon. John W.
Hoyt, Col. SteI hen w. Downey and
Judge NJ. c. Brown. Mr.. Edward Twin
sons name has been mentioned in SON
nection with the senaiorshIp but we
understand it Is not through Mr.. Ivinson
himself that this has been done.
Aside from Baramie's delegation there
is Judge Carey, Meldrum, John X. JEFF
rey and Andrew Gilchrist, president of
the S~tockgrowers' National bank of
Cheyenne.
Then from Converse county comes that
well known if not entirely popular gentle
man DeForest Richards, president of the
First National bank at Douglas.
Judge Carey of course will walk off
with one Of the two senatorships and that
will then leave an interesting battle be-
tween the remaining gentlemen. Judge
Brown, who was over considerable Of the
state during the campaign, is said to have
taken the bull by the horns and secured
a large number Of pledges from parties
who were candidates for the Legislature.

4 curious anesthetic used by the
Chinese has recently been made known
by DR.. U. I.ambuth in his third annual
report of the Soochow hospital. 1t is
obtained by placing a frog in a jar OF
-four and irritating it by prodding it.
Under these circumstances it exudes a
liquid which forms a paste with the
-four. This paste dissolved in water
has well marked anesthetic properties.
After the finger has been immersed in
the liquid for a few minutes 1t can be
cut to the bone without any pain be-
