"Nots" in United States History.

From Mr.. Malcolm Townsend's
unique collection of facts regarding
the history and composition of the
United States, and to which he has
given the comprehensive title ~.

The Declaration of Independence

resentatives whose names have be-
come historic. 1t was given to the
world.on Monday, July 8, l776, with
but two signatures John Hancock,
President of the Congress, and
Charles Thomson, Secretary. The
signatures of forty-five delegates
were affixed to a copy of the original
paper on Tuesday, August 2, l776.

from Rhinetander New North. I

The declinatiOn of Mr.. Yawkey to
be Il candidate for the Legislature
leaves tho field open for some other
Oneida county Republican. Mr.. G. III
Clark has often been mentioned as a
suitable man for the Republicans to
send to the assembly and at the solici-
! tation OF many Of his friends he has
consented to become candidate
His nomination would prove strong
one and his election wOulsi insure to
this district safe, conservative and
popular member Mr.. Clark is man
whose acquaintance in the county,
and also i'll Villas and Price counties,
which, with this, constitutes the as
sembly district, is very extensive. He
IS a business man possessing the conf
dence OF the business public here, and
is known to be an able, sensible and
level headed individual at all times
AS q member of the assembly he would
be an effective worker and a district
represented by him would he careful
~ anil cOnscientiOusly looked after.
From u party standpoint his nominal
tion would be- exceptionally wise. He
has often proven his strength with the
voters and his name would add to the
ticket an element of strength which
would have it's effect all through the
district. Mr.. Clark is perhaps too
we'll known to make any remarks re-
lating to- his identity, necessary. He
has lived in Rhinelander for twelve
years. He has served as Il member on
the hoard of supervisors, was cleo ted
sheriff in the memorable campaign of
1883 and two years later was the only
Republican elected in northern Wis
scOnsin when he went in for county
treasurer against democratic major
ity of over four hundred. We don't
think that a better runner" could be
chosen anywhere aid we know that,
when elected, he will give to his dis
tri.:t good service and prove an effic-
lent and popular member. We pre-
Sdict that he will be nominated and will
be elected by All Immense plurality
over any man the Democsats can
name.

The Phoebe Records DeLamar cor

The town was thrown into furry

Of fabulously rich gold bearing float
rock, said to have been found about
two miles or So northeast of town in
the Helene gulch. The assay certih
Gates arc said to have shown returns
running from $500 to S19,2SO to the

departure Of half-dozen midnight
prospecting parties, followed by about
all the local prospectors who had III
already been carried away by the
Spring Valley reports. The scene Of
tho new find is placed on the north
slope of the range in which the Mon
itor and April Fool mines are found
and not more than two miles from
town, across the hills. About twen-
ty-fve locations have already been
made, but it is stated that no one has
yet uncovered the ledge from which
the rich float came, and until that is
definitely located the the public will

The Gold is Iusu fiici-nt.

Tho champions Of gold monometal-
ism take comfort from the figures
which show considerable increase
in the worlds output of that metal.
They claim that nearly SlSO,OOO,0OO
was mined in 1894, and an average Of
S146,715,290 for the five years be-
ginning with 1890. They claim that
when the figures for 1895 are in they
will show large advance upon this,
yet their own figures are sufficient
evidence against their theory and
their policy. In the five years-1856-
1S6O--the average annual addition to
the worlds stock of gold was 1884,
O33,OOO. Since then we have had an
increase of but S12,OOO.O00 a year to
meet the increased demand for money
caused by the worlds growth in popu-
lation, in trade and in industry.
What other interest OF Importance
has achieved Il growth 6f less than
eight per cent in thirty-tive years?
Put that tritiing growth alongside the
vast expansion of merchant shipping,
of iron making or of the manufac
lures of textiles, and 1t is seen at once
that the gold supply has advanced
like the tortoise while everything else
has gono ahead with the strides Of Il
Hercules.
Besides this, in 1861 1860 the mints
of the world were open to silver as
well as gold, and found the supply of
tho latter, although but eight per
cent. less than at present, insufficient
to meet it's need for money. How
much greater the present insufficiency
of gold for present needs.-Philadel.
