ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Il. III. Kimball. Mr.
Rollins, although q young man, has
been in the service Of the Rock Island
Ry., Co, either as telegraph operator or
agent, about eleven years, and falling
health warns him that he must seek a
more healthful climate and recreation
and rest. So he will move to Wyoming
and will reside at the Kimball ranch in
Box Elder Park for the next six months
or more, and will rusticate among the
mountains. In the meantime he will
look up business location, but it is
safe to say that he will not invest his
money in Douglas as long as the politi-
cal gang here persists in fighting the
town and running all business men
who will not be subseryient tools for
them to further their own selfish de-
sires. Douglas Graphic.
Let there be good convention of re.
publicans March 18th, There is at
present every promise of victory for re-
publicans In 1892, and it will surely
come if rightly courted by hard work
on the part of party workers. TIE par
ty is now harmonious, and the princi-
pies for which it has fought in the ma
ton are triumphant. The democracy
is demoralized, distracted by warning
factions and shows lack of faith in its
professions of free trade by absolutely
refusing to present bill with that OBJ
ject, while it has an overwhelming ma
iority in the national house. While it
has its own way 1t does nothing. Re
publioans have the leverage in the pull
of '02, and every county should start
the ball with rousing convention.

EARTH OVER MANURE PILES.

No matter how hot or wet the weather, a few inches of common earth spread over a manure pile will save it from loss. The heat of fermenting manure keeps this soil dry, and it also sends up ammonia that the earth retains. During most of the year heaps of manure with soil over them do not get more wetting down than is best for them while they are ferment- ing. The loss from fire fanging, espec- iallv of horse manure, if the heap is under cover, is greater than the waste from teaching in pile out of doors. In few bulk and scarcely any of it's plant food. The heap protected from rain will be burned to ashes, with the loss of most of it's ammonia.-[TroyT Times.

She was born on the West India island of St Eustatius, of which her father, Cap tain Robert Gossling, native of Den mark, was governor by appointment of the home government. About 40 years ago, Miss Gosling and her sister Eliza beth, who was an accomplished musi- elan, came to Bridgeport and established a private school or academy for young ladies. This school possessed the very highest qualifications, and was liberally patronized by the first people of Bridge port. For the past IS years she has been treasurer of the orphan asylum, and has always been active and interested in it's welfare. Her death was somewhat sudden and painless, as she died while sitting up in bed waiting for the nurse to prepare her morning meal.
