Harrison on the Extra Session

'Do you think that the calling of an ex-
ira session will bring immediate relieff'
was asked of OK President Harrison, and
he answered:
1T hardly think so. The country is IN
state of distrust Who knows what Con-
gress will do in Anguish Will it repeal
the Sherman act or will it notf Will it at
tempt to legislate on other subjectsY Will
it put into legislation the declarations in
the Chicago platformf If it should do so,
it would shake the business of this country
from centre to circumference. l do not
see how any free trader or tariff reformer
can expect tnat this country can pass from
a high tariff to low tariff without con-
vlllsion. Meanwhile all is uncertainty.
do not say that regard the conditions as
greatly alarming. But it is easy to see a
ghost fourteen feet high, and it is cas- y fol
people to exaggerate the prospects of evil
/, for one do not wish to embarrass my
successor by attempting to magnify the
present difficulties. The Republican party
has never been a calamity party and has
never made capital for itself out OF its
country's woes. But said last fall that
the Chicago platform adopted by the Dem
ocratic party was essentially destructive
and the distrust among the people at the
prospect of having its promises carried
out shows that they are Of the same way
of thinking.
ga great many people are relying upon
President Cleveland's conservatism. Well,
as have said before, it is an excellent
thing to have good driver to handle the
reins and brake, but the kind of horses
that draw the team must be taken into
consideration. How those Southern and
Western members who have shouting fol
free coinage, wild cat banks. and Other
wild schemes will act in the traces can
not say. The Presidents duty will 5t
done, however, when he calls Congress,
together and lays his recommendations be
fore them"

Golden Wedding.

EDITOR CITIzEN-I wish to make men
tion through your valuable paper Of the
golden wedding of Mr.. and Mrs. Jeremiah
Keister which took place on July 9th, 1878.
they being married fifty years on that date.
The morning was bright one and as the
sun gradually crept higher and higher SO
did the relatives and friends OF the above
named parties gather to the wedding with
well filled baskets and their faces all aglow
with ioy and pleasure. The principal
features of the morning were the wishing
of the aged couple happiness, renewing old
ac0uaintances and forming new ones,
bu' while thus enjoying themselves the
dinner was rot forgotten, as quite q num-
Der of ladies were fast preparing meal
that was fine enough for queen; but just
as dinner was announced we were treated
to some fine music by the choir after Whlch
the older folks present were all comfort
ably seated around the table, and so on
until all were perfectly satisfied that lie
is not always failure. Their chlldfeh
and grand children were all present, the
children are J. C. Keister of Euclid, Mrs.
Laura !. McBurney of Portersville and
O. f. Keister of Prospect. After having
more music by the choir the guests were
called to order by Rev J. A. Clark. Lewis
Bolton. of Centerville, was elected chaIr-
man. and Ira Gallagher secretary OF the
meeting. After getting Mr.. and Mrs;
Keister seated in full view of table filled
with both useful and ornamental presents
appropriate to the occasion. Rev. Ralston
OF Portersville was selected to make the
presentation speech, and after closing his
kind remarks the Rev. Clark made the re-
ply and returned thanks to all; after when
ali parted to go to their several homes wei
satisfied with the time spent on this pleas
ant occasion. LITTLE JIM

The Extra Session.

On account OF ''the distrust and appre-
hension concerning the financial situation
which perYade all business circles, have al
ready caused great loss and damage 10 our
people and threaten to cripple our mer-
chants, stop the wheels ofour manufactures
bring distress and privation to our far
mers and withhold from our workingmen
the wage of labor" President Cleveland
has called for an extra session OF Congress,
to convene on Monday, August 9TH.
The bankers and importers OF the coun-
try are determined to have the silver pur-
chasing clause of what is called the Sher-
man law repealed. This law provides for
the purchase by the National Government
of four and a half million ounces of silver
each month; and though it makes forced
market for that amount of silver, the pro-
duction of that metal has increased SO rap
idly, that with the natural decrease in val
ne. the actual or intrinsic value OF one OF
our silver dollars is at present but 52 cents.
Repeating the Sherman law will still FUR
ther decrease the value of silver, and as
the majority Of the Democratic members OF
both Houses favored free coinage at the
last session, which is the longest step that
can be taken in the opposite direction, 1t Is
not likely that the Sherman law will be re-
pealed unless it be after tremendous
fight. So look out for music, and lots oi
it, at the coming session of Congress.
THE Christian Endeayorers had an IN
teresting time at the close of their conven-
ton in Montreal last Sunday. On the
previous Friday, a speaker from India
made some ill-timed remarks regarding
the Roman Catholic church, which, re-
peated over the city excited the resent
ment of the French Canadians and caused
a mob of some fifteen thousand people to
assemble around the great tent in which
the convention was held. riot was fear
ed but it was averted by having a thous-
and militiamen guard the delegates as
they emerged from the tent.

GOLD STRIKE IN SOCORRO

bOLD . NJ n II IN DoCOhhC.
Socorro has been considerably y
excited the past weok over reports
Of two important mineral finds In
the near vicinity, but owing to
very msagre information and the
rapidity with which find incrsas-
es in value through reports, | can
not give = very accurate statement,
but when the truth 10 learned will
report 1T.
The gold strike, to which all of
MAgd.lens aud Kelly have gone
to, is in the vicinity of the "Old
Boss" mine in Gallinas, and no
doubt there is gold there, but how
much is Hot known. The gold is
reported found IN quartrits dyke,
which can be traced for 6vs or SOW
en- miles, and is imprsgnatsd with
wire aud free gold and 10 the place
whore it is supposed the Navajo
Indians have been getting all their
gold, which ons of the tribe recent
ly showed to Frank Evans OF Mag
dAlens.
The other find is near Snake ranch
about ten miles from Socorro. Par
ties have bsen working there for
some tius and have in one mine
four foot face Of mineral which
they claim, location considered, is
big thing, but owing to no real
assays having been seen, can 40.

and that we will have another Kel-
ly or Graphic mine near us. Tbs

SHE CAME our OF rHR WEST

SHE CAME OUT OF THE WEST
According to Sir Walter Scott
there was ones young thorough
bred who came out OF the West.
He was a good ,hing, such rs the
western side OF every REGION always
produces. There are good many
illustrations OF this historical fact,
but mono better, swsster or so lats
40 the one furnished not long since
by Miss Bessie McDougal, OF San
Francisco, California. She needs
. Scott, or better, = Tsnnyson, to
do justice to her act. 1t Was an
occasion whsa there was an sxplo-
sian OF shells at the Mare Island
navy yard, which killed several
mon and wounded more. A, the
time OF the explosion Miss Bessie
was driving pohy cart to tbs
magazine about quarter OF . mile
distant. just AZ she was passing
the hospital the explosion occurred.
A doctor ran ont, and realizing
what bad happened, started to ran
thors. Bessie called to him to
Jump IN, and she drove as RAPIDLY
rs the pony could run 20 the scene
of the explosion. II had set fra
10 everything cembustibls, and
every littlo store house Of Ammu-
milton was in danger OF ibsing
blown to kingdom come, and OF
taking with it every living thing in
its nsighborhood. Shells were OK
ploding on every side as they do
On hot battle field. Miss Bessie
stayed there, doing oil she could to
aid the wounded, binding up their
bleeding heads and ministsring to
every want despite the bursting
shells and growing danger. A
recognition of her services was
given the other day by the navy
dspartmsnt,I which issued an off,
eial order recognising it, and giving
her thanks. This order has been
or will be read on every United
States naval vsssel in ths world,
and al every naval station. 1t is
the first time that any lady has
svsr bean so Justly complimenied
by the Navy Department.

Frank Wolcott, the nominal COM
mander of the party, is wsilthy
ranch owner. Understanding ths
desperate rature Of the work on
hand, appaarsntly, hs ssnt his wife
and daughter to Paris for year
and made his will. With him were
State Senator John W. risdnls,
who since tho rad has married
Mrs. w. w. {. rlst', the richest
widow in Wyoming; X, NJ. White
comb, a pioneer and Indian hghter,
who Is "a years old, aud who has
grown rich in rsuching, and = num-
Der of others who have large herds
on the ranges or are Intimately as
sociated with others in the husi-
ness. The Fighters for revenue
only" were hired for IS day and
various perquisites depending on
their service.
After the fghtat NolAn's ranch,
where Nate Champion and Jack
Ray, famous rHstlers, were killed,
the whole county, which seems to
have been largely in sympathy with
the rustlsrs, became aroused and the
cattlemen's party was only rescued
from annlhilation by United States
cavalry, The troops were ordered
to the scene by the Secretary Of
War iat the request of Governor
Barbsr, as the militia of the State
had bosn disbsnded. BY change
OF venue the trial takes place in
Cheysnns Instead Of johnson coun-
ty, where public sentiment against
the pioneers WAS considered too
strong to obtain a fair verdict.
The feeling against the twenty
two prisoners now at Cheyenne is
still very bitter, and the Judge has
already found it necessary to threat
en- imprisonment for any one who
brings a weapon into court. There
is much difficulty in obtaiaing un-
biased jurors, and tho number of
msn subject to service IN the coun-
ty may yet bs exhausted and the
question Of summoning women be
considered.

Tho name mica 10 not that of a
sisglo mineral, but is a family
cognumsn, which includes a num-
Der Of varitiss. With the outward
attributes of the family VIC are all
familiar, for under the coaman
name of isinglass it forms small
part Of the stock in trade of every
household. The family is one Of
some importance in minsralogical
hierarchy. All are shining mem
bsrs, and are alike in splitting iato
extremely y thin leaves or plstos; in
being more or lass transparent; in
bsing highly elastic; and in having
certain ingredients in commoR.
There are seven well-dsfned min
erals which lay claim to the family
name, hesides an extensive hat of
relatives which bsve been formed
by alteration or exposure to air
and water. The series runs from
the compact, glistening mica found
IN granite and gnsiss, through
mauy grsdasions of hydrous micss
until We reach the ordinary soap
stones and elsys. But the name
properly stops when the mineral
loses it's glistsniag surfaces, for
then the Latin micsre (to shise
no longer applies. Our German
friends call it gllmmer, name
whose Significance is readily seen.
Tho location of thu quarries has
been largely accidental SO far as
we have been able to learn, the
first one opened was the Sin&hole
in Mitchell county, North Carollns.
The spot was marked by the exist
encs of trenches, many hundred
fset long in the aggregate, and in
places fully twsnty feet deep.
Large trees growing on the debris
indicated that the workings were
very ancient.

MADE RICH BY A DECISION

MADE RICH BY A DECISION.
By a decision OF the General
Land Office, John G. Mcbride of
Tacoma, Wash, gets possession
and title to 100 acres OF land in the
city Of Tacoma. In 1889 20 citizens
of Tacoma filed mineral claims OF
20 acres each. Mcbride bought
six OF these claims at from 500 to
$500 each and put $4,000 irto i'm.
provsments and then applied for
patents. This was refused aud
after % days legal fight IN the
local land office the case wss decd
ed against him. In February,
1892, he appealed to the General
Land Office, and the desision WAS
made public yesterday. During
the fght for possession, Just after
Mcbride bought out the claims,
the County Commissioners sunk a
shaft on the school ,ectlon to search
for gold, erected high board fence
around the shaft and stationed
guards at the gates carrying Win
chester rifles. They, and later
mining experts also found gold.
These fads are the bass OF the
Land Office decision that the min
eral CLAIMS are bona fds and valid.
