Rennhlican Mass Meeting.

At mass meeting Of the Republicans
of Shenandoah county held in the Court
House, in Woodstock, at IL M, on Satur-
day, September 26, 1891, II. II. Haun was
nominated and elected as Chairman and
G. W. Kennedy, Secy. The following reso-
buttons were offered and after a full dis
cussion of the same were adopted:
We, the Republicans cf Shenandoah
county in mass meeting assembled, at the
Court House, on this the 26th day of Sept.
1891, resolve as follows
1st, That we disclaim any right on the
part of II. G. Parsons and others to have
made an irregular call for a mass meeting.
2nd. We reaftirm our allegiance to the
National Republican party and heartily
endorse the wise, manly and patriotic adj
mlnlstration of President Harrison.
Sd, We deem it unwise, lnjudicious, in
expedient and unnecessary to send dele
gates to a meeting of the party, irregu-
larry called to assemble in convention at
Roanoke October LIST, 1891.
18th, We endorse the action of our State
Committee advising us not to nominate
Legislative candidates to be voted for at
the coming election.
9Th, That a copy of these resolutions
be sent to the II. c. Parsons meeting at
Roanoke, with the request that they be
read before said meeting, showing the
sentiment of the Republicans of Shenan-
doah county, and also copy he furnish
ed to the Republican papers of Shenan-
doah county for publication.
On motion meeting adjourned.
H. H. HAUN, Pres.
G. w. KENNEDY, Secy.
Az requested we publish the above, but
must respectfully say that we do not be
lieve it represents the Republican party
of this county. To call this assemblage
of less than a dozen persons mass meet
ing of the Republicans of Shenandoah is
either very much like a farce, or like
Judge Paul's fish, the party has fear
fully "swunk." The call for this meet.
ing was in the form of small circular
which we do not think a dcz n reach
ed this county, and only one of which to
our knowledge was seen in Woodstock
The great mass of the Republicans o.
Shenandoah never heard of the call.
The mass meeting was composed of The
following persons: Henry Haun, L. S.
Walker, r. J. Walker, Geo. W. Kennedy
L. f. Tidler, A. Redfern, DR.. J. H. Jones
A. G. Shaver, w. J. Gillock, DR.. H. H
Irwin, w. W. Logan, NJ. H. Hotel, c. P
Wightman and VIM, Sbeetz. OF thi!
number NJ. II. Hotel, C. P. Wightmar
and VIM. Sheets, claimed to be only
spectators and took no part In the pro
ceedings; DR.. H. H. Irwin did no
vote, and W. w. Logan voted against The
resolutions, so that the mass meeting tha
spoke for and laimed to be the Republi
can party of Shenandoah county wa!
really but ten persons all told. We have
yet to see single Republican, outside o
those who participated in this meeting
who endorsed the above resolutions wher
informed of them.
If there Is to be a real expression of the
views OF the people on this great question
of paramount importance to the party
and the State, let call be made that viii
reach them all to assemble in mass meet
ing and give an honest expression Of theil
sentiments. Our columns are open fol
the use of the people.

The Medical Profession.

The attitude of the medical profession
toward what is known as "patent medi-
cines" is not at all unreasonable. ThOus-
ands of these nostrums are offered to the
public every year. Some of them are
dangerous and most of them are fntile.--
Swift's Specific Is. S. S y we are all glad
to say, is not classed among these nos
trums. 1t has overcome the wholesome
preiudices of physicians in all parts of the
country, and some Of the strongest tes-
timonials in its behalf come from medical
men tho have used it in their practice,
and who do not hesitate to endorse Its
wonderful results. This Is extremely
gratifying, but by no means astonishing
for every claim that is put forward in
behalf of S. ;. S. is based on series Of
actual experiments extended oyer a long
period of time.

The Debt Question Again.

RICHMOND, VA, Sept. % To-day Hon
R. II. Cardwell aud Hon. Henry I. Wick
ham, members of the Virginia debt COM
mission, had long talk with the Cover.
nor, 1t is believed, on the subject of the
debt. Some weeks ago Governor Nc
Kinney received from the Olcott com
mittee a communication IN which was IN
1icated what might be the general out
lines of another proposal for settlement
The Governor, however, has not thought
proper to give the substance of this letter
to the newspapers. 1t was understood
that he would have a conference with the
resident members of the commission with
whom the matter wonld be discussed. In
the event these gentlemen did not con-
slider the terms of the letter sufficiently
encouraging for him to do so, the execu-
tive would not call the commission
together. The visit today of Messrs.
Cardwell and Wickham, of Hanover, the
adjoining county, was probably for the
purpose named. Governor Mckinney re-
piled to the letter of the Olcott COM
mittee, but if he has received any re-
Spouse to his answer it was not known
today at the Capitol. Second Auditor
Ruffin does not expect to see any settle
ment on any basis other than that of the
Riddleberger bill.

Weather and CrOns-

Reports for the past seven days show
that the temperature has been decidedly
above the normal for this period of the
season, and has averaged from eight tC
ten degrees, daily, above the normal. The
rainfall has been little or none. These
conditions, in connection with clear
weather, have rapidly matured the to.
bacco crop beyond the danger from frost
while probably the greater portion of tbs
tobacco crop has been cut. Fall pastures
begin to show the need of ram, while rair
is needed to put the soil in condition fol

favor continued warm and dry weather.

state Lands.

From the Statesman we learn that
Hon. F. A. Fem, who has charge of
the selection of State lands, has just
returned from North Idaho. He says
that the lands of the North are much
more available than those OF the
South, as no irrigation is required
there. The minimum price is slo
per acre, and the Constitution limits
the sales to twenty-five sections each
wear. As soon as appralsements are
made by the Boards of County Com
missioners at the October sessions
selling will commence. Much of the
land will go for s25 per acre. The
school fund will realize $40 per acre
on 10000 acres, which will give
s320, 900. Mr.. Fem thinks more than
that will be realized. This fund will
not be reducable, the interest only
beng distributed among the counties
A section of land on the south side OF
Boise river will bring sl25 per acre
In addition to the school lands
there are nearly 100000 acres tfa'

Last winter there was bill before
the Idaho Legislature, which passed
the House, but which failed IN the
Senate and substitute passed, which
became law, providing for the con-
struction of State wagon road over
the same ground mentioned above /;
but the road would not have stopped
at Sheep Mountain, had the bill be-
come a law, but would have passed
on through Bear valley, struck South
Salmon at the head and passed through
the new copper district that is now
creating some excitement among
prospectors of Custer and Idaho
counties. From there it would 90
through the rich Johnson and Alton
districts and on north. But the build
ing of the road from Banner to Sheep

the Muddy has proven it good to the

started to tap it at the depth of 600

company will erect large mill on
Payette river, from which side the
tunnel is running. The Moriarty

This will be an addition OF two mills

benefits. There is some talk of a
third before snow flies.
Many mines in the hands of pros
