The democratic national conven-
ton at Chicago will be controlled
by the silver men. Of this there is
no further doubt. In fact the sill
yer forces will probably be strong
enough to carry the convention and
nominate silver candidates under
the two-thirds rule The present
indications are that the candidate
for president will be either Bland,
of Missouri, or Boies, of Iowa.
Either of them on a silver platform
would sweep the west and the south.
The issue will come squarely on
silver and will be fought to finish.
The people are in earnest. There
will oe no s,raddling, no dividing.
The fight will be for the life or
death of silver.

The New County Officers.

The changes in the various coun-
ty offices occasioned by the recent
election will not be many in this
county. In the offices of clerk,
sheriff and treasurer there will he no
changes, each of these officers be-
ing their own successor. The terms
OF the new county officers should
begin on the first Monday in July,
but as the county court will not
at that time have had an opportu-
nifty to pass upon the bonds of the
new officers the old ones will have
to hold over one day. The county
court will hold special term on
Tuesday, the 7, at which time they
will pass upon the bonds. The in
coming officers are F. A. Goodwin,
commissioner; S. G. Irwin, county
superintendent; z. M. Derrick, sur
veyor, and 7. M. Coombs, coroner.
Hurley Lutz, the assessor-elect,
does not assume the duties of his
office until next January.

HOW TO PREVENT GROUP.

Some Reading That Will Prove Inter-
estirg to Young Mothers. How to
Guard Against the Disease.
Group is a terror to young mothers,
and to post them concerning the cause,
first symptoms and treatment is the
object of this item. The oripjn OF
Group is a common cold. Children
who are subject to it take cold very
easily and CT pup is almost sure to fol-
low. The first symptom is hoarseness;
this is soon followo by a peculiar
rough cough, which is easily recognized
and will never be forgotten by one
who has heard it. The time to act is
when the child first becomes hoarse.
If Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is

soon disappear Even if the croupy
cough has developed it will prevent
the attack. There is no danger in CIV
ing this remedy for it contains moth

An Episcopal Dog Story.

/ was walking the other day on the
shore Of Lough Swilly, at Buncrana,
with our Diocesan, the Bishop Of Der
ry and Raphoe, when a pretty little
terrier ran UP to us with look Of
friendly recognition. That dog said
his lordship severely, is humbug. 1t
IS his practice to haunt this beach
when the tide is flowing, and to get on
some projecting rock or spit Of sand,
where he waits till he is surrounded by
the water. Then he begins to show
every sign Of distress and alarm, as IL
he were in imminent danger Of being
drowned. Some compassionate visitor
generally comes to his rescue, and he
is petted and comforted with sympathy
and biscuits. My friend, however, on
seeing this performance repeated, grew
suspicious, and stood quietly looking
on, whereupon the artful little fellow
sprang boldly into the sea and swan
to shore without difficulty. The Bishop
gave me permission to send you this
story on his authority. 1t seems worth
adding to the Spectator collection
Narcissus G. Bait in London Spectator.

almost as absurd as regarding Levers
characters as typical of the Irishman of
to-day-probably of any day, as he ap-
pears to have had as great a genius in
inVentfng characters as in inventing
stories. Ireland largely owes it's clovers
and shamrock to it's limestone Around
Dublin, where limestone is not very
prevalent, the inferior type of clover,
the yellow trefoil, is commonly en-
ployed as badge, it's convenient shape
owing to it's top-root rendering it con-
venient as button hole flower In
limestone districts the white clover is
more commonly used; though there Is
no definite rule, as is shown by the
specimens collected by natives In all
parts of Ireland, now to be seen in the
Dublin Museum. These specimens were
allowed to go to flower and four dis
tinct varieties of clover are represented
each frequently. Even the large red
clover is included. There Is no other
plant shown, because there is no other
shamrock. The myth is destroyed, but
the clovers remain, and it is due to their
presence that the Irish pastures are SO
rich and so valuable for grazing. They
have accumulated fertility. and they
have done SO in England; therefore
their presence in lawns must not be re-
garded as prejudicial. London STAN

In the Second District it was 2223,

DISPLAYING RETURNS.
The Record Union's'' very complete
arrangements for displaying the cleo
ton returns were evidently appreciated
by the public, for never before in the
history of the city was there such a
gathering of men and women on the
street to read the returns as they were
thrown upon the big screen in front
of the building.
Scarcely had the polls closed when
the people began to gather on Third
street, between J and K, and by s
o'clock the street was densely packed.
From the front of the Record Union"
building northward to street was a
solid mass of humanity. Not only was
every inch of the street filled with men
as closely packed as they could stand,
but the sidewalks and balconies also,
While every window for a block away
was filed with women and children.
And such enthusiasm! Nothing ap-
preaching it had been heard in the city
since the days Of the war when Repub
lican political successes aroused the
people to the highest pitch of excite
ment. The yells and cheers were deaf
ening as dispatch after dispatch was
thrown upon the screen, telling how
Mckinley the gallant standard bearer
of the Republican party was running
ahead of of the Democratic-P Populistic
candidate for the Presidency in nearly
every State heard from.
Apparently the thousands of men
that thronged the street were mostly
Republicans, for even when the canvas
occasionally displayed bit of news
that was favorable to Democratic-Pop-
ulistic candidates there was very little
cheering.
Inc screen on WHICH, Lie IClul lS "OlN
thrown up last night was 22x2O feet. 1t
was the same screen upon which Pres
idential returns have been thrown for
twelve years, and the lantern used,
now the property Of the Sacramento
Camera Club, was the same as has
been used at this office for fifteen years,
and the operator was the same, Edward
Johnson, who worked under the direc-
ton Of and in aid to President Shaw
and Secretary Woods of the club.
The Camera Club Is to be congratu-
lated on it's beautiful exhibition of
transparencies. No such fine pictures
have ever been seen in a street exhibi-
ton, and no finer have been thrown
upon a screen anywhere. 1t is note
worthy that these views are all Of the
workmanship of the members Of the
club.
The exhibition will be repeated to-
night, and the Record Union" invites
all the people to assemble and witness
the exhibition of completed returns and
to view another selection of the Camera
Clubs pictures. The entire arrangement
of the screen, the lantern and its man
ipulation was by the Camera Club and
the gentlemen of the Record Union"
assisting, and both are justly proud of
the success achieved.

KILLED AT SHELDON.
John Bradley's Team Ran Away and
Threw Him Out.

News was received at the Coroner s
office yesterday from Elk Grove that a
man in the employ Of Andrew Wack-
man, near Sheldon, had been killed on
his place, but no particulars were given.
Deputy Coroner Clarence Clark went
out to Wackman's and brought in the
body. He ascertained that the man
was John Bradley, native Of Illinois,
IS years old, who had been working
for Wackman for the past five days.
He was on his return from hauling
grain to Elk Grove, and it is supposed
that his team ran away with him,
throwing him off and breaking his
neck, as two other men who had pre-
Coded him saw the team coming on a
run, without a driver, and on going
back, found the body. He was quiet,
sober young man, as far as known.

The Balloon Spy.

The aerial spy mas for some time been
closely studied by French, German,
Austrian and Russian officers, and the
results of recent experiments are note
worthy. 1t is not easy TO shoot down
a captive balloon, for the balls Of mod
ern rifles do not harm it much. The
holes which they make in it are so
small that the escape of gas Is insig-
nifcant. This has been clearly proved
by the results of infantry fire at q
balloon held at an elevation Of 9I5 feet.
The only possible enemy of the balloon
is the shrapnel shell. Experiments
with these shells have been made with
balloons at elevations ranging from
$50 to $500 feet, and at distance Of
from 9,750 to 1920 feet from the FIR
ing ground. Out of thirty shrapnel
shells the Russian artillerymsn put
twenty-five balls through balloon $50
feet high, and 10,400 feet from the FIR
ing ground. At 1920 feet from the
firing ground the Germans made twen-
ty holes In a balloon little over 81
feet high out Of twenty-six shrapnel
shells But when the airsh1p was $500
feet In the air and the firing distance
1920 feet, only two balls struck 1t out
Of sixty-fve shells and three balls out
Of eighty shells during the experiments
last year In Austria. wounds" that
the balloon receives are not generally
mortal. Indeed, it often happens THAI
the shrapnel and the broken fragments
Of the shells produce no more effect
upon the balloons than the bullets Of
the small bore rifles. From all these
experiments the conclusion is, that in
order to keep the balloon beyond the
reach Of dangerous projectiles. it must
he kept 16,230 feet from the enemy and
at an altitude Of 1900 feet.-Public
