Annual Election of Officers of the
Farmers and Tlechanics rlutual
Fire Insurance Company.

The annual meeting of the above
named Company was held at Cal
vert on last Saturday. A change
in the articles of association was
considered and agreed to, relative
to the election of officers of the
Company.
After prolonged debate on the
proposed change it was finally con-
Cured in by majority of the
meeting that the President and
Secretary-Treasurer should be elect
ed by the members at the annual
meeting at the same time the Di-
rectors were elected. This has been
the practice for several years, but
discovering that they were violat-
ing the provisions of their charter
the members determined to have
the charter altered so as to conform
to this practice.
There were 100 votes cast for the
election of Secretary-Treasurer,
Sam'l. T. Bye receiving LOG, the bal
ance being divided among VIM. I.
Patton, Henry Gather, and John
w. Mccullough.
Alfred Kirk was elected Presi-
dent, there being no opposition.
Managers elected were: A. j.
Kitchener, j. t. DEVIL, w. T.
Patton, John P. Wilson, Henry
Hess.
Surveyors: Lloyd Balderston, w
Miller, Joseph T. Groves, ID. Web
ster McVey, John NJ. Rawlings.

School Commissioners Trouble.

George S. McVey, who was ap-
pointed school commissioner in
place of George r. Ash, qualified
Tuesday before the clerk of the
court. The board, it is said, will
continue to recognize Mr.. Ash as
the legal member. They will also
appoint an examiner at their next
meeting. Mr.. McVey will have to
carry his case to the court. Mr..
Ash will fight the case to the end.
He feels satisfied the court will
recognize him as the commissioner.
Pecuniarily the office is worth
but a trifle and it is probable that
Mr.. McVey will not bother with it
and Ash may continue for two
years more in Office by default.

A Jockey Killed.

The first serious accident at the
track at Iron Hill happened Tues
day and it resulted in the death of
jockey. In the last race, while
while rounding into the turn, Roe
buck and Crown fell, throwing their
jockeys heavily to the grornd. The
rider of Roebuck and the two horses
escaped unhurt, but Conn Levelle,
the boy that had the mount on
Crown, failed to rise. He was
picked up and carried to the stable,
where it was found that his back
was broken. He died late Tuesday
night.

Mrs. Rhode Noah of this place, was
taken in the night with cramping pains
and the next day diarrhoea set in. She
took half bottle of blackberry cordial
but got no relief. She then sent to me
to see if had anything that would help
her. sent her bottle of Chamberlain
Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy
and the first dose relieved her. Another
of our neighbors had been sick for about
a week aud had tried different remedies
for diarrhoea but kept getting worse. I
sent him this same remedy. Only four
doses of it were required to cure him.

The First Silver Club.

A silver club was organized at
Colora last Saturday evening with
Mr.. Chas. J. Davis, Pres; w. T.
Fryer, first Vice Pres; d. Webster
McVey, second Vice Pres; Joseph
T. Brown, Secy.; J. M. Maxwell,
Treas. About 80 members Joined
the club, which will hold its meet
ings in Tosh's hall every alternate
Thursday evening. The next meet
ing will be held on Thursday even
ing, August 6.
Mr.. A. S. Carruthers, 'Babster
West" of the Silver Knight, Wash
ington, ID. c., addressed the meet
ing with a stirring speech. Mr..
Davis on taking the chair as presi-
dent of the club, delivered an
earnest address in which the pre-
sent condition of the farmers was
commented on, and the growing
distress of all classes pointed out.
The work of the club will be mainly
educational and discussions on the
questions that are exciting the
country as it has seldom been stirred
up before. The club will doubtless
receive a large membership and
will hold most interesting and pro
fitable meetings. The free silver
cause is moving with the force of a
tidal wave. Goldbugism is near its
dishonored end. The patriotic fire
is spreading every where among
the masses. Half to three fourths
of the.republicans Of the county are
for free silver, and about all of other
parties.

Elkton Racers Burned.

On Sunday the ElktOn Stock
Farm received word from the For
sythe track, near Chicago, advising
them of the loss of six of their
string of horses by fire on Saturday.
The fire is believed to have been of
incendiary origin and was first seen
in the stall occupied by the Elkton
Stock Farm.

All the People

Should keep themselves healthy and
especial care should be given to this matter
at this time. Health depends upon pure,
rich blood, for when the blood is impure
and impoverished diseases of various
kinds are almost certain to result. The
one true blood purifier is Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla. BY its power to purify and vitalize
health, and the record of remarkable
cures effected proves that it has wonder
full power over disease. 1t actually and
permanently cures when all other prepa-
rations fail to do any good whatever.

womanly and courageous as became the
afiianced wife of Nemours, which dar-
ing spirit was excellently personified by
Mr.. Hennig. The Dauphin Of Mr.. Low
ell was notably well proportioned and.
won him special applause. One of the
best sustained and most natural char
acters IN the play was the Barbel of
Miss Timberman. We have seen that
peasant character so often abused by
misapprehension of 1t that it was a dis
tinct relief to witness 1t for once given
with freedom, archness and womanli-
ness. AT the close of the third act the
audience manifested it's pleasure in Mr..
Keene's performance by thrice recalling
him, and at the end Of the fourth act
he was four times called out, Mr..
Hennig sharing in the call for
his splendid Nemours. Tonight Mr..
Keene will present Richard III.
with the full strength of his large
company and all the necessary stage
outfit. Unlike the last time when
the tragedy was given here, we shall
tonight have both Princes on the stage
and no garbling of the text to account
for the absence of one. Mr.. Hennig
will make fine Richmond, Mr. Lowell
who is especially fitted for it, notable
Stanley. Miss Belgarde will be the
Anne and Miss Timberman the Eliza
beth of the play, and Mrs. Baker will
personate the Duchess of York. The
part of Henry VI. will be taken by Mr..
Eagleson, who was the Jacques Collier
of last night. There will. be the full
cast of twenty-three characters speak
ing, fuller cast than has presented the
play here in many years. The tragedy
will be given in six acts and with no
crushing into less space The merit of
the company is such that it ought to
command a crowded house.

ing the farce comedy, MY Precious

excellently played. The extra" Of an

INCREASING THE FORCE.

Some of the Railroad shop Men Are
Working Nine Hours Day.
Work has accumulated at the rail-
road shops for the last month and the
company has daily been taking on more
men as fast as work could be found for
them to do
The boiler shop has been the first to
feel the press of work, and since the first
of the month the men in that shop have
been working nine hours a day instead
of eight, as they have for some time
past. If work keeps on increasing ali
the shops will be working on a nine
hour basis before the end of the month.
A large, number of the men who were
laid off in November have been taken
back, and it is probable that within
the next month nearly a full force will
be at work

ORDINANCE vIOLATORS.
Several of Them Arrested Yesterday
for Peddling in Forbidden Limits.

Officer Fisher was kept busy yester-
day arresting vegetable vendors who
persisted in disposing of their stock in
trade within the limits prescribed by
ordinance.
Persistent is the right word for Joe
Travis, recently tried in the Police Court
by jury on similar charge and ac-
quilted, was arrested four times. leav-
ing 500 deposit each time for his ap-
pearance in court. David Friedlander
against whom two cases were already
pending for violating the ordinance, was
arrested twice, making the usual de-
posit, and George Anderson was taken
in for the same offense and also put up
$40
That is to say, $50 was put up in each
case by the owner of the wagons, and
the arrests would probably have still
been merrily going on had not the Wis
ible supply of gold disappeared.
1t is known that Judge Hinkson has
for some time been preparing a decision
on test case relative to the validity
OF the ordinance in question, but the
action Of the jury in the Travis case evil
IDENTIFY emboldened the violators of the
ordinance to further disregard it,

THEY ESCAPED CREMATION,
ROomerS in the Metropolitan Building
RUdely Disturbed.
A Destructive Fire at Faure's Res.
taurant Reused Them From
Their SIumbers.

Fire was discovered in the kitchen at
the rear OF the Restaurant de France
about 4 O'Clock yesterday morning, and
before the flames We're finally extin-
guished considerable progress had been
made in the rear of the building, the
damage being estimated at over $1,000.
Four streams of water We're turned
on by the fire department, which sue
cessfully prevented the spread of the
flames to the front part of the build
ing. The restaurant is the property
of L. Faure, and was fully insured. A
great deal of the damage was occa>
stoned by smoke and water Mr. Faure
has not the slightest idea how the fire
originated, as he was in the place at
half-past l. and the range was cold and
the electric light current turned off.
The fire managed to eat its way into the
women's dreSsing-room that is just off
the foyer of the Metropolitan Theater,
in close proximity to sthe burning kitch-
en-, burt the firemen were able to put it
out before it could communicate with
the stage. Had it done so, with the
strong draft that always prevails on
the stage, it would have been almost
L.
Mr.. Faure's loss is quite heavy. Only
a few days ago he placed large guam
tty of new crockery in his restaurant,
which was totally destroyed. Chief
Guthrie and the firemen are given great
credit by the roomers up stairs in the
Metropolitan building for the GOODNESS
and Judgment displayed by them in
fighting the flames and preventing
them from making the loss much
heavier than it is. The flames had
Crept up between the walls of two of
the upstairs rooms when discovered by
Chief Guthrie. He chopped hole in
the wall and managed to head them off.
SO that only three or four rooms We're
damaged.
Mr.. Faure had an insurance of 50 900
on his place. which will not cover his
loss. The theater and building were
fully insured.
There was a lively stampede among
the roomers up stairs when the alarm
was given, and they stood not upon the
order of their going, but went at once.
Such minor thing as stopping till fully
dressed did not enter into the calcula-
tions of many of them, and they post
roned the ceremony until they returned
TO their rooms.
During the progress of the fire a
bakery wagon was driven over the
hose stretched across the street, and
yesterday morning Chief Guthrie vis-
tied the police station and Swore out
warrant for the arrest of William
Brown and Charles Pratt. He pro-
poses to see that the ordinance touching
the point in question is strictly en-
forced
