The Democrats of the Eighteenth
Judicial Circuit have nominated Hon.
Sam Dickey, of Webster county, as
their candidate for Judge. 1t is a
splendid selection. Mr.. Dickey is a
true blue Democrat, an upright man
and able lawyer. Although the circuit
has Republican majority, Mr.. d. s
fitness and popularity promise to elect
him. We hope such will prove the
case. He will fill the position with
credit to himself and honor to his con-
stituency.

FOR the benefit of the ignoramus who
who edits the De Soto Facts we will
state that the editor of this paper was
a Democrat long before X. w. Denholm
set foot on American soil, or knew
aught of the blessings of a free govern
ment. Denholm neither knows nor
understands the institutions of this
country nor its politics; neither can he
ever learn; he isn't fashioned that way
and his political dissertations are anus
ing. harmless and the laughing stock
OF the public generally. He opens his
mouth and he puts his foot in it every
time.

Strength and Health.

If you are not feeling strong and
healthy, try Electric Bitters. If "La
Grippe' has left you weak and weary,
use Electric Bitters. This remedy
acts directly on Liver, Stomach and
Kidneys, gently aiding those organs
to perform their functions. Ifyou are
afflicted with Sick Headache, you will
find speedy and permanent relief by
taking Electric Bitters. One trial
will convince you that this is the rem.
edy you need. Large bottles only

SOME one has said that Spain is the
only country in the world where two
and two make five. We would suggest
that the author of the Republican Cam
paign Handbook go over there and
compile an arithmetic for the use Of the
schools in the land of the Don. The
Handbook gravely asserts that the
Mckinley bill has raised prices for the
farmers products, while the cost to the
consumer has been slightly lowered!

interest Of Ell. Buffers candidacy for
clerk Of The court, while the other rep
resented Judge Schwyrlz's aspirations
for the same position. Each Ticket
also represented other candidates for
county Offices, but the main issue was
between Butler aud Schwartz. Col.

and Tom Deckert acted as clerk. One

THE GERMAN ACHILLES.
How Albert Convinced the Mobiles O,
His Power,


The present Emperor of Germany is
unfortunate in having in his veins the
blood of ancestry tainted with eccentrici-
ty and insanity. One of his ancestors in
the fifteenth century was Albert sur
named iheAchilles of Germany because lie
was SO big and strong. His mind was as
weak, however, as his body was strong,
and SO it was proposed to put the state
under the care OF regent. Albert heard
of the plan, and sent for the counselors
who were considering it. The latter were
frightened when they saw their sover-
eign, his face plainly showing the anger
he telt.
Albert turned to the Count of Craven
stein, who presided over the council, and
with one blow of the sword laid the UNI
fortunate nobleman dead at his feet. The
others protested their loyalty, and threw
the blame for the proposition TO depose
Albert upon the dead Gravenstein. The
Elector torgaye them and allowed them
to retire. from that moment he was abb
solute master of his subjects, not one of
the nobility daring to interfere with him.
lie caused the castle Of GraYenstein to be
leveled to the ground, the vaults filled
up, and crop of hemp to be grown where
the feudaI home of the proud family had
stood. He took the name of Gravenstsin
as one of his own titles, and it has ever
since been handed down in the House of
HohenZoilern. The widow and children
of the Count were forbidden, under pen
atty of death, to bear the name of the hus-
band and father, and one of the children
was actually put to death for assuming it.

FISH AND GAME LAWS.
How the People of the High Attitudes
Regard Them.


Regard Them.
Our short-sighted or non-practical law
makers, in making the laws for the pro-
lection of the fish during the spawning
season, have not made them so that they
protect the trout in the mountain coun-
ties. The trout have not as yet spawned
III this part of the State and the law ex-
pired the lst of this month. The
spawning brooks and rivulets are
covered with snow and the season
should close the first day of April and
not open until the lst of June, for all
localities with the spawning waters in
the snow regions of the State, and moro
especially those in the headwaterS of the
1uba and Feather Rivers. Each County
Board of Supervisors should be author
lied to make the fish and game laws
which are adapted to their localities.
The altitude and climate OF this State is
so varied that if the laws are to be effect
ual they must be made so by the law
makers ofthe various localities. The game
and fish laws cannot be respected, be-
cause they do not fulfill the objects for
which they were made and people do
not care to respect Intellectual or
invalid laws. The people of these mount
aims are w-abiding ii the law is
valid one, or of benefit to the peo-
pie, which the game laws certainly are if
practically made. Our quail are all gone
from here before the law permits them to
be killed, and thus the object of the law
is not fulfilled. unless it be for the espe-
cial benefit OF the foothill sportsmen.-

HIDDEN TREASURE.
SECRET OF FRANCES WAR UPON
DAHOMEY.
Said TO be for the Purpose of Getting
Possession of Vast Amount Of
Money Buried at Abomey.
Special to the RECoRD-UNIoN.

Special to the RECORD UNION.
LONDON, April 18.-The Globe publishes
letter from correspondent who. the
paper says, is we'll informed as to the
matter upon which he writes, giving an
explanation of the preparations now be-
ing made by France for war upon Da-
honey. The letter does not bear out the
semi official statements that France has
no intention whatever of conducting mill
itary operations in the interior of Da-
honey, continuing herself strictly to de-
tending the possessions in the Blight of
Benin, Porto Novo and Kotonou.
The GtoJc correspondent saws it is be-
Iieved on good grounds that immense
treasure, the accumulation of upward OF
two centuries, is buried in A bomey, the
capital OF Dahomey. Allowing largely
for exaggerations, this treasure, the
writer declares, is said TO be worth sum
equivalent to 5G0,000,0 Geo francs. 1t is
known the successive kings of Dahomey
have buried vast quantities of bullion
within the precincts of the palace i'll a
number of large pits. ten or more of
which are said TO contain gold and silver
to the amount ofseveral millions of francs
each. Authentic reports of the existence
Of this treasure reached the French
-.
this readily accounts for the eagerness
displayed by the French to capture
\ bomey.
The attempt, the correspondent saws,
has been postponed for various reasons,
but now that the French Senate and
Chamber of Deputies have voted "a credit
for the purpose preparations are to be
made iii earnest for the march on Da
honey. The French Parliament a few
days ago voted 3,UO0.030f for the purpose
of sending achievements to Porto Novo.
and orders have been issued by the Min
isler OF Marine FOR the French cruiser at
MonteYideo to at once proceed to the Gold
Coast and join the warship already there.
Troops are ordered to proceed from St
Louis, Senegal, to reinforce the garrison
at Porto Novo and much activity is dis
played in military circles.
An air of probability Is given the Globe
correspondents statement by the fact that
although King Behanzin and his forces.
French settlements, had withdrawn
military preparations. and they are now
speed.
been excited by the stories of vast trea-
pretense of Furnishing King Behanzin for
his many crimes against civilization, par
ticularly his lave-hnnting raids, France
