COUNTY
The Mutton Lords OF Meagher Dau-
mate the Republican Party and
Adopt the Gag Rule.

At White Sulphur Springs on
Monday September 7th., the repnb-
llcan county convention convened.
Intense feeling prevailed between
the silver faction and the Mckinley
faction regarding which should con
troll the convention. Both parties
were defiant and when in Il short
time each discovered their strength,
they put themselves in battle array.
1t VAS soon found that the McKin-
ley men outnumbered the silver
men by % to rs. The silver men
as soon as this was discovered waited
on the gold men and requested that
each would appoint a committee so
as to be able to come to AN under
standing as to what each wanted and
must have. On account of the above
committee meetings the convention

hour appointed but adjourned until
II p. m. The conference between
the committees was long and excit-
ing and the silver men stood firm to
their demands while the gold men
were equally obstinate in granting
what was asked. The sense of the
silver factions demands was as fol-
lows: that they be allowed four of the
eight delegates, which could. be in
proportion to their number, to the
State convention and that the county
convention should not endorse Me
kinley or the St. Louis platform and
also that the ~ delegates to the
state convention should not be bound
or hampered in any manner by in
structlons from the county conven-
ion but that they may vote independ-
emily and as each and every del
egate to the state convention saw
best. The Mckinley committee
after reporting to their faction re-
turned, and stated that they were
willing to grant all of the silver com
mitties request with the exception as
to the number of delegates and that
they positively would only allow
them 2. The convention was then
called to order at | P. NJ. by Fletch-

The democratic party of Montana
arose to "a great occasion Yesterday
when its convention, by ii vote of
21S to l32, refused to nominate a
candidate for congress-. That action
did not mean that the democratic
party had not plenty of able and
loyal men in its own ranks. bat it
was simply a recognition of the emf
nent service of Congressman Hart
man. who has worked early and late.
in season and out of season., and
without regard to party, for the sue
cess of the cause of free coinage and
the interests of Montana. He has
done as much as any other one man
to make the silver coinage issue
prominent, and long ago announced
his intention, to stump the eastern
states for Bryan and silver regardless
of what might happen to him politi-
cally in Montana. Under these
circumstances any attempt to defeat
Mr.. Hartman in his own state would
have had the appearance in the east
OF a desire to repudiatc him and the
cause he has 50 ably represented.
The action Of the Missouia convent
ion was patriotic and magnanimous
and placed the party in this state on
a perfect equality with the silver re
publlcans on the great issue before
the people. Had Mr.. Hartman been
a democrat and had the Missoula
convention been republican gather
ing, the Inter Mountain would have
urged a course with reference to his
Endorsement similar to that which
the democrats resolved bv ~ major
ity Of more than two TO one to
adopt. Senator MATHS speech must
have been a great effort and the fact
that most of the Helena delegation
were persuaded by the advocater Of
no nomination shows how sound
must have been the arguments add
vauced.-Inter Mountain.

"My Country First!0

Mr.. Editor, at the risk Of being called
a crank. a bolter, a renegade and other
similar %endearing epithets known to
the politicians vocabulary, I refuse to
vote for William Mckinley, not be-
cause of himself, but because of the is
sue involved in the campaign against
silver.
Bimetallism was first instilled into
me by Republican platforms, by Repub-
llcan newspapers and by Republican
statesmen-the declarations of nation
al, state and county conventions, the
editorials of such Republican journals
as the Chicago Inter Ocean, Philadel-
phia Press, Omaha Bee and many 9TH
ers, and such eminent statesmen as
Lincoln, Grant, Garfield, Blaine, Sher-
man, Paddock, Henderson, Thurston.
The declarations of these conventions
and expressions and u%tterances of these
newspapers and statesmen have been
coupled with much ardent and earnest
part. The result is that I now have an
abiding conviction that free coinage, or
bimetallism, is as necessary for the well
fare Of the U:sited States, the p%erpetuity
of u republican institutions, the hap
piness and prosperity of our people, as
are the spring sowing Of seed by our
farmers and the garnering of a bounti-
full harvest.
Then, shall l, for the sake of party,
put this conviction aside and tumble in.

me, and must appear SO to Senator

be what it may. "My country first and

Resolved, that we are opposed

Those Iowa democrats are made
OF the proper material. They break
down the idols of all that trust in

publicans of Colorado are no less

turned down such able men as VOL

so stannch in their faith as Senator
Teller. From every hill and valley
comes the swelling chorus of those
who hoist the standard of independ-

This action was decided on during
the reports of the committees, when
Max Waterman stated that the com
mittee on resolutions was not ready
and would report later. The silver
men knew that if they took part in
the election Of delegates and the
resolutions should be for Mckinley
lhnt then it would be to late and
they be forced to remain in the ON
vention. This scheme of the Mckinley
men was easeIy penetrated and did

FRIGHTENED TO Death.

There are several we'll authenticated
cases where fright was the cause Of
death. An English surgeon tells of a
drummer in India across whose legs q
harmless lizard crawled while he was
half asleep. He was sure that cobra
had bitten him, and it was too much
for his nerves and he died.
Frederick I. of Prussia was killed
by fear. His wife was insane, and
one day she escaped from her keeper,
and, dabbling her clothes with blood,
rushed upon her husband while he was
doing in his chair. King Frederick
imagined her to be the white lady,
whose ghost was believed to invaria-
bly, appear whenever the death of a
member of the royal family was to oc-
cur, and he was thrown into a fever
and died in six weeks.
But perhaps the most remarkable
death from fear was that of the Dutch
painter Pentman, who lived in the
seventeenth century. One day he
subjects to sketch some skulls and
bones for picture he intended to
paint. The weather was very sultry,
and while sketching he fell asleep. He
was aroused by bones dancing around
him, and the skeletons suspended
from the ceiling clashed together. In
a fit of horror he threw himself out OF
the window. Though he sustained no
serious injury, and was informed that
O slight earthquake had caused the
comlnotion among the ghostly sur.
roundings, he died OF nervous tremer.

Wonderful Deposits of Marble.

Near the base of the Inyo Noun
tains, in Ownes Valley, near the lake
OF the same name, lie, what are, per
haps, the largest and most wonderful
deposits of marble that have been as
vet discovered. 1t is impossible to
describe truthfully these vast deposits
of beautifully colored stone.
There is white, black, blue and yell
low in pure colors, purple veined,
black and gold, making a grand
variety OF colored marbles, very beau
tiful for interior decorations. The
white marble is perfectly clear, the
grain is fine, very compact and will
stand great pressure; it is pure
dolomite, therefore, and will take on
and retain very fine polish.
The first two stories OF the Mills
Building in San Francisco, as well as
a greater part of the interior finish OF
the same, are done in this material.
The main entrance to the building
shows what may be done in the way OF
relief with the white marble.
The brick is almost identical with
the Belgium black marble; it is very
difficult to distinguish one from the
other when polished. The yellow
marbles vary from a delicate cream
to a dark notified orange. There are
veins of deeper yellow, with fernllke
markings similar to moss agate, and 1T
is particularly adapted for furniture
and interior decorations Inyo Gal

Large HaiiStOnsS.

Hailstones have broken windows and
nave been known also to pierce cor
rugated iron, though not in Great
Britain, where, as general thing, the
force ss we'll as the size OF the stones
wholesale and serious damage. On
one occasion G. J. Symonds, F. r. S.,
who is a meteorological authority of
very high standing. pooh-poohed a
report from India relative to the
piercing of an iron ROOF by hailstones.
Now, quite recently there was pre-
sented to the Royal Society of New
South Wales, by G. 81. Russell, an in
disputable account of hail storm in
the Narrabri district which occasioned
this very phenomenon. On the morn.
ing after the storm the manager. at
one of the meteorological stations
found nineteen sheep lying dead, IN
addition to birds, kangaroo rats and
crowds of other creatures, all of them
killed by the hailstones, which broke
all the windows exposed to them,
denied the galvanized iron roofing
from end to end and cut many of the
sheets right through. In one sheet
no less than sixty holes were found
and in another no less than thirty.
France, singular to relate, has been
very unfortunate in the matter of
damaging hail storms. One, which
tell in the neighborhood of Angou-
leme, wounded several persons severe
ly and killed child near Barbezieux,
injured the cattle, sheep and pigs,
entirely stripped the trees OF their
leaves, cut the vines into pieces and
crushed the crops. The whole dis
trict was deprived of game, and the
effects of the storm were visible five
years afterward. Another which fell
some years earlier has the distinction
of being the most remarkable hail
storm on record. It was divided into
two distinct bands-the western one
42O miles long and ten miles broad
and the eastern one over 500 miles
long but only five miles broad. It is
estimated that %, O0O,O 900 tons of ice
fell, or about one pound on an average
to the square foot. No less than 1O3
French communes suffered, and the
damage was proved to amount to about
SIS, 900, 900. Some Of the stones were
half a pound each in weight. New

THE TIME HAS COME"

The time has come when rustics go afield
And make the lazy air resound
With load talloos,
the birds begin to sing,
The frogs to pipe; ice and the black frost
yield
In cowslip marshes thick with ooae,
And murmurs of the trembling ground
Breathe DER US, this is spring.
The time has come when Pleasure claps her
hands
When Love puts on her purple dress,
Her shoes of gold.
When Fancy spreads her wing;
The flower of hope that lights new fairy
lands
Is mixed with peoples in the old,
And all the SONS of men confess
All. it is spring, spring, spring:

The SargassO Sea:

In the North Atlantic Ocean be.
tween the twentieth and fortieth par.
allels of latitude and on both sides of
the continent of North America, are
two peculiar ocean areas, each oil
which is known as the Sargasso Sea.
The unequal temperature on the sur
face of the earth causes the water of
the ocean to circulate in obedience to
a law of equilibrium that ever seeks
to adjust itself. This is accomplished
by system of circuits that carries the
warmer and the colder waters from one
region to another, as one may see In
the winding action on the surface OF
large kettle of water, some time pre-
vious to boiling. The land surface OF
the earth interferes with these ocean
currents and they are thus compelled
to make great and devious detours and
in doing this great areas OF the ocean
have these currents in a manner sur
rounding them, while they maintain o
comparative calm. This quiescent
district thus becomes known as a Sar-
gasso, OF seaweed sea.
The shores and shadows of the
ocean, and especially in the tropics.
produce immense crops of aquatic
vegetation, the marine plant known as
the algae, sometimes attaining u
length of nearly 100 feet. The great
storms then tear these plants loose,
throw them in the pathway of these
currents, which bear them on, and as
they skirt the calm areas the current
discharges much of it's load, until the
hundreds of square miles almost re-
semble meadow of drying hay. But
this seaweed coast line is not always
the same. The material after time be-
comes water-logged and sinks to the
bottom, being constantly replenished
by new accessions, and as the weed
bearing currents sweep around this
region the mass is crowded inward, at
times many miles farther than at
others. The rolling waves, as they
strike the sea, soon lose their force.
as the vegetable mass cannot respond
to the usual wave action. So dense at
times is this covering that it is ex-
tremely difficult to steam through it,
the long stems of the seaweed clog
cling and impeding the action OF the
screws and offering immense resistance
to the passage of the vessel. New

The Phantom City of Glacier Bay.

During the past eight or ten years
a curious phenomenon has been regu-

It always occurs Immediately after the
fnll moon of June and at no other
time during the year, and is said to be
a beautiful mirage Of some unknown
city suspended in the rarified air
directly over the bay. A. Juneau
(Alaska) photographer has taken pic
lures of it on four different occasions,
but so far no one hos been able to
identify single one of the ghostly
buildings outlined on his plates.
