BUNCO GAME.
II REPUBLICANS ALREADY WAVING
THE BLOODY.
A Circular Which Would Indicate
That the Writer is Not Yet Aware
That the War is Over.

NEW YORK, Aug. S.-The Union
Veterans Patriotic League, which was
organized recently to support McKin-
ley, issued an address today, which
VIII be sent to every veteran in the
! United States. 1t is in part as fol-
! lows:
New York, Aug. s, 1S96.-To the
Surviving Soldiers and Sailors Who
| Served in the Unicn Army and Navy
During the War of the Rebellion: Com
rades-Your country is again in peril.
In the present presidential compaign
dangerous combinations again threaten
the integrity of the government. Mis-
guided and INSCRIPTIONS men conspire
! to bring reputation, dishonor and fl
nancial ruin upon this nation, once
saved by your valor.
Comrades. you believe in liberty
under law, in public order; in the main
tenance of our courts of justice and in
national honor and good faith. You
are &lnalterably opposed TO the red flag
OF anarchy and mob rule. We believe
that you resent with earnestness all
attacks upon the executive and judi
cial departments of our government,
and commend all measures which vim
dictate the supremacy of the law and
restore public order whenever endan-
gered.
Many of our great leaders have
been mustered out-Grant, Sherman,
Sheridan, Mcclellan, Hancock, Burn
side, Garfield, Logan, Dix and many
others have gone to their reward. Were
they living they would be united with
US in this crisis, as they were in the
days of the war. 1t remains for US to
guarantee the good work they upheld
while living and to preserve all they
helped US to gain for our country.
Should this dangerous and revolu-
tionary political conspiracy against
the financial honor and integrity of
the government succeed, every per-
sioner, every depositor in a savings
bank, every policy holder in an insur-
ance company, cooperative bank and
building and loan association and as
sessment insurance society would lose
bllC-llcll VI NAleiI - OuS lliHl ny DciuS
paid fifty-cent silver dollars
Feeling assured that in this crisis
you, the union veterans of the late war.
are surely in favor of an honest gov
eminent, we appeal to you to lay aside
all partisan differences and rally to the
support of our gallant comrade, Major
Mckinley.
I'VE urge you to form yourselves
into an association to be known as
THE Union Veterans Patriotic
League" and to do all in your power
to secure the triumph of right We in
vite all sons of veteran societies to
unite with us in this campaign against
national dishonor
The address has about seventy-five
signatures of former heterogeneous
and officers in the United States army
at the present time, among whom are
Daniel Sickles, Horace Porter. Franz
Siegel. L. Edwin Dudley and Oliver o.
Howard.
Former President Harrison wrote
that while he was not in the city to
affix his signature to the address, he
was in sympathy with it.

Resolved, That as citizens of Sweet

Gle presented at the Republican county

the 9th inst, of a great party wrang-
ling for honors over who should be
appointed to handle the Hanna cor
rupeion fund promised this county for
the purpose of buying the votes of
our citizens; and we denounce it as
an insult to a free people This con-
vention declares for the free, unlimited
coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to
l, without awaiting the consent Of
any European empire.
I'VE declare for such amendment to
the constitution as will permit the pas

ask the Republicans of this county to
come out into the open and declare to
the people of this county where they
stand ON this great question"

Plain Evidences of Volcanic Eruption
Less Than a Century Ago.
(From the San Francisco Chronicle)
The geological atlas of the United
States recently issued by the depart
ment of the interior contains asdescrip-
ton of the Cinder Cohe, California, pre-
pared by Geologist j. s. Diller.
Looking southeast from the summit
Of Prospect Peak a geaeral view lis OBJ
tanned of the scene of a comparatively
recent volcanic eruption at the Cinder
Cone, ten miles northeast of Lassen
Peak, California. The dark, desolate,
treeless lava field and Cfnder Cone pre-
sent a deep contrast to the deep green
pine forest by which they are surround
ed. From this point, better than any,
where else, except the summit of the
Cinder Cone itself Is obtained view of
the hopper shaped depression of the era
ter. On the right of the lava field is
Snag Lake, whose waters escaped
through the lava on to Lake Bidwell on
the left.
When one obtains the first near view
of this scene the impression of its new
ness is vivid, and he looks in the expec-
tation of seeing steam rising from the
craters or lava field. The feeling of
disappointment is somewhat allayed,
however, when he observes charred
trunks of trees. apparently long since
dead, yet attesting the scorching tenn
perature in recent times.
Descending from the summit of Pros
pect Peak toward the Cinder Cone, at
tention is at once arrested by the soft,
dull black volcanic sand which covers
| the surface and renders walking tire
some. At first it is fine and only a few
| inches deep, but as the Cinder Cone is
approached the sand becomes coaeer
and deeper. How thick the sand may
be at the base of the cone is not known,
| but one-fourth of mile away in all
| directions it is seven feet in thickness,
and it decreases as entirely to disappear
at distance of eight miles. Encircling
| the Cinder Gone at its base is a collec-
ton of volcanic bombs, ranging in size
from d few inches TO eight feet in diam
| ter. They are much assured, and many
of them have fallen to pieces, showing
an interior of compact lava, while the
surface is somewhat scoriaceous and
ropy.
Having arrived at the Cinder Cone
the first impulse is to climb to its sum-
nit. 1t is then that We become aware
of its real composition, for, as we strug-
gle up the steep slopes of bose material
the scoriae, lapili, and sand. improperly
called cinders, give way under our feet

SHE FOUND our.

1t is perhaps not strange that the
trait in Woman which caused the down.
fall of The human race is still strong
and persistent in her. Woman's curios-
with her. even as it did in the Garden
of Eden. She must know and often in
knowing she gets much more Informal
ton than is good for her. Such was
recently the case with the wife of
farmer living near Sergeant Bluff,
Iowa. A neighbor of hers took a no
tion that he would try to catch some
wolves that had been troubling and
spelling him. He set several wolf traps
made of steel jaws with a heavy spring
closing them when sprung. He set
them far away from the road, where
there was apparently no danger that
anything but a wolf would get caught.
He had no idea that he was going to
catch his neighbours wife, but he didn't
realize what she was made of. She
didn't know that any wolf-traps had
been set. but she was impressed with
the idea that there was something she
ought to know which she didn't know.
Filled with this thought, as Lecturer
Stoddard would say. she took a short
cut home one evening. Her eyes light
ed on one OF the wolf-traps, and then
she knew what made her so restless.
She knew she could have no peace until
she understood the whole performance.
She began to study it and made rapid
progress-so rapid that in less than one
shake of a VOLTS tail she found herself
caught in the trap by one hand. Then
she repented, just as Eve did when she
found herself caught in the DEVILS trap
But there she was, and in place where
nobody would be likely to look for her.
| She stayed there all night and until
the next evening, when a searching
party found her. She was almost dead,
but she had fully discovered the nature
and properties Of "a wolf trap.
| 1t is true that Woman's curiosity does
not always get her out of her Garden of
Eden or into wolf trap But it does
one or the other so often that there is
no fun in it,
