The lectures given at the opera house
by Rev. Rominger on Monday, Tues
day and Wednesday evenings, under
the auspices of the Congregational
church and !. o. O. F. of this city have
been full of interest, though not large
ly attended. The lectures were illus
trated with q panorama of $50 views
thrown on a large screen by oxy-hydro-
gen light but the pictures were for the
most part, something of dissapoint-
ment owing to the inexperience of the
operator in manipulating the lanterns
The lecturer gave vivid description
of his journeys in foreign lands, along
the far-famed Rhine, through the Sem
mering pass to Vienna, Florence, Rome
and the Holy Land. On Tuesday night
his lecture was devoted to Egypt, the
land of pyramids and mummies, and
Wednesday evening was taken up with
a beautiful word picture of the ruins
of Egypt and an explanation of num-
merry. A genuine Egyptian mummy
from the royal tombs was on exhibition
Wednesday night and attracted much
attention. 1t was shown in the original
wrappings and sarcophagus in which
it was found and, with the excellent
historical and descriptive lecture ac-
companying, made an evening full of
instruction and delight.

County silver Convention.

A silver convention will be held i'm
this city on Saturday, September 18th,
for the purpose of placing in nomin-
alton full set Of county officers and
d candidate for member of the legis-
lature. just what the free silver re-
publicans hope to accomplish for the
cause of free silver by fusing with the
popocrats ona county ticket is not
now apparant but they are doubtless
actuated by purely patriotic ?)motives
OF course the political pie counter has
no charms for them, but it is easy fol
them to see, perhaps, how free silve,
sheriff, clerk of court, coroner, etc.
could render valuable service in pro
noting free siver legislation.

Strange Idea of the silver question

Strange Idea of the Silver Question.
A Fall River county farmer called at
this office Wednesday afternoon end
said that he was anxious to read both
sides of the money question and wanted
the STAR sent to his address until after
election so that he could get an insight
into the questions at issue from re-
pablican standpoint. He had been de-
luded into the belief by free silver
shouters and free silver literature that
under the system advocated by the
republican party the use of silver as
money would be entirely done away
with and actually believed that if the
republicans triumph at the November
election gold, and gold only, would
constitute our only circulating medium.
He had been led to believe that the
success of the republican party meant
the destruction of every dollar of silver
in circulation, and had evidently be-
lieved all the wild, vague, theories and
false assertions of the popocratic party.
His ignorance of the facts in the case
was positively painful and when he was
assured that the republican party
stands for the use OF both gold and
silver as money and that it believes
in maintaining them at parity he was
encouraged topursue his investigations
further. He had been reading nothing
but popocratis literature and appeared
to be pleased to get out of the fog and
gloom of the calamity howl and wild,
vague theories of the popocrats into
the bright sunlight of good old republi-
can doctrine.

The Standard Oil Magnate and Family
Will Visit Hot Springs.
The Sioux City journal of the 25th
contains the following item of interest
to residents of this city: @The current
number of the Chicago Hotel Reporter
states that John ID. Rockefeller. the
Standard oil magnate, has engaged
several suites of apartments at the
Evans hotel, Hot Springs, s. D., for
September and October. From one the
railroads it is learned locally that Mr..
Rockefeller and his family will go to
the Springs in private car, which will
come over the Northwestern, and be
transferred at Missouri Valley to the
Fremont, Elkhorn and Missouri Valley
railway"
Upon inquiry at the Evans it is
learned that no correspondence has
been had with Mr.. Rockerfeller regard
ing accommodations for his party but
1t is stated by the management that it
is not necessary to engage apartments
in advance for the time of their con-
templated visit-September and Oc-
tober.

arrive here about September 1 for a
ten days sojourn, to be- followed about
September 90 by others from the same
place. 1t is hoped that the famous
Ninth cavalry band will accompany the

w. II. Castle, Il. +. Connor and Geo.
Turner returned Saturday afternoon
from three months prospecting tour
through the northern Hills. They have
located four claims in the Niger Hill
district and for several weeks past have
been engaged in prosecuting develop
ment work. They have sunk the shaft
to depth of about 45 feet and the
work SO far indicates that the formation
is very similar to that of the McShane
mine OH Yellow creek. 1t is what is
known us a "flat formation" The boys
are confident of striking the pay rock
within the next twenty feet and will
probably return to Bear Gulch within
short time and continue work on their
promising property. They say there
is more work going on in the northern
Hills than ever before, and the number
of producing mines is very much larger
than even a large majority of time
Black Hills miners imagine. The output
in the northern Hills district isincreas-
ing to enormous proportions and the
smelters and other reduction works of
the Hills are not able to handle more
than one-tenth of the ore taken out.
Numerous rich mines, netting their
lucky owners from 500 to $500 per day,
about which nothing has been said in
the newspapers, have been opened up
during the past year. Theyare, largely,
what are known as the "poor man's''
mines, so called because they can be
worked at a profit without the invest
ment of large sums of money in stamp
mills and hoisting works. The ore is

From "a Democratic Postmaster.

When Major Anderson stated some
days since that he left the populist
party to avoid being swallowed by the
democratic party, he was in the light
of recent events, stating an untruth.

DEMOCRATIC PARTY IN OUR STATE AND
LATER ON WILL SWALLOW THE ENTIRE
STATE, MAJOR AND ALL.-Herald.
This sounds nice, coming from a
rock-ribbed, dyed-in-the-wool demo-

ofInterest to Bicycle Riders.

There can be no question that one of
the most important parts of bicycle
is the tire. It has to bear the brunt of
the work, is constantly coming in CON
tact with destroying elements and gen.
orally receives the least care from the
rider. The Importance of the work it
has to do was early recognized by
makers of bicycles, however, and they
have given much attention to this i'm
portant adjunct of the wheel.
There are today, perhaps, thirty diff
erent styles of bicycle tires on the mar
ket, all of which vary in detail. AS to
their various merits, theories are of
little value; actual experience is the
only way to determine this question.
Unless an article gives satisfaction, de-
mand for it soon ceases. After a test
of over six years, during which time
double tube and single-tube tires have
been marketed, at least three -fourths
of all the riders in this country TODAY
demand and ride double-tube tires.
The leading firm in the United States.
and in fact in the entire world, in the
manufacture of double tube tires, is
Morgan s. Wright, Chicago. Their his.
tory is interesting. The first pneu-
matte tire-the rags-and-glue kind
was giving trouble, and Morgan &
Wright stepped in to ill great public
want. They furnished a tire that could
be easily taken from the rim to he re.
paired. That was the principal require
ment in those days, besides the usual
requirements of speed, durability and
comfort.
That was several years ago. Single.
tube tires had been pushed in Europe,
and were failing, and the same effort
was being started in this country.
The Morgan & Wright double-tube tire
quickly proved its superiority-with
the result stated above. The quick.
repair inner tube, which is this year a
standard feature of all of this firms
tires, has made the position of double.
tube tires practically invincible, by
making it quick and easy for the riders
to secure, at the roadside, a permanent
repair-a thing admittedly impossible
in the majority of single.tube accidents

Wednesday night Fern Lodge held one
of the pleasantest sessions that has ever
been known during the two years. ex-
istence of the lodge. There was no
special programme arranged for the
occasion, but there were q number of
visitors present, including Mrs. Par
ker, chief Of honor and Mrs. La France,
captain of the initiatory team of River
Side Lodge of Hood River, and M -.
Bolton, chief of honor of Puritan lodge,
of Antelope, and for their entertain.
ment, Fern Lodge exemplifed the im-
pressive and interesting work of the
degree. After the degree work had
been exemplified the chief of honor,
Mrs. Ollie Stephens, announced that
there was a surprise awaiting the
the brothers of the lodge, which would
be perpetrated after the lodge had
closed, and all present at once realized
that banquet was to be served, and
their anticipation that grand feast
was awaiting them was soon demons
trated. But before the feast there was
another pleasant event, 1t being an

eleventh anniversary of the marriage
of the chief of honor and Mr.. Chas. F.

Scored the Old Parties.

Hon. o. A. Patterson, the populist
orator from Colorado, addressed small
audience at the court house in this
city Wednesday, occupying about two
hours to define the principles OF the
populist party and in scoring the old
parties for their failure to administer
government affairs acceptably to the
people. Mr.. Patterson devoted con-
siderable portion of his time to dis
cussing the money question, and gave
what he claimed to be resume of the
financial legislation of the county for
the past hundred years. He took the
position that silver had, always been
the standard of value in this county
prior to 1873, and could be made so to-
day by proper legislation, and if, after
the gold was all driven out of circula-
tion, there be not sufficient silver with
which to meet the demands of trade,
he would have the government issue
Certificates" paper money, sufficient
to meet all demands, and also to pay
off the bonded Indebtedness of the
nation, though he did not explain how
his "certificates" would be redeemed,
or what there would be back of them
to cause them to circulate. His theor-
les, to say the least, were wild and un-
tenable, though were in accord with
the views of many of his hearers.

A Drunk Mans Luck

It is an old saying "that you can't
kill a drunk man" and the verifica-
tion of this statement was realized by
the passengers on the east-bound over
land which arrived here last night.
While the train was speeding along at
lively rate about two miles west of
Cascade Locks, the engineer was horri-
fed to see man lying with his head
on one of the rails, apparently asleep.
To stop the engine before it reached
the sleeping figure was impossible, but
the train was brought to as sudden a
standstill as possible, and the engineer
and fireman climbed out of the cab ex-
pecting to find the mangled form of a
man underneath the cars. In this they
were disappointed, for when they got
back to where he was, he was scram-
bling up the side of the track protest.
ing against having been Sc rudely
awakened, though, for a wonder, he
was not injured inthe least. He had
been to tho Cascades the day before,
where;he had imbibed too freely and
lain down to sleep of the effects of
his spree, with his head resting on
bundle of clothes which he had placed
on one Of the rails. How the cow
catcher knocked him away without
killing him is mystery, and can only
be explained by the fact that he was
drunk and drunk man can't be killed.

BENNETT OK NoRTHRUP.
The Contest In This District Between
Them.

Judge A. S. Bennett, the democratic
nominee for congress, addressed a
large audience at the court house in
this city, Tuesday evening. He was
introduced by Mayor Carroll, and
made speech that was listened to
with wrapt attention throughout. He
isa calm, clear-spoken, logical speaker,
possessing a personality that at once
impresses his hearers with his SINGER
ICY and honesty. His argument was
confined principally to the financial
issues, although he took occasion to
express his views on the tariff. We
have never heard the effects of pro-
tective tariff so clearly shown rs they
were by him. That his remarks
carried conviction to many there can
be no doubt. He is in favor of the free
and unlimited coinage of silver and
certainly presented his side of this
vexed question with force and logic.
There is but very little doubt that the
congressional fight really lays between
Judge Northrup, the gold standard
and Judge Bennett. II the
populists become convinced of this
fact the election will depend largely
upon which of the above they would
prefer to have their votes counted for.
