Slippery.

Using the fire bells to ring in the
new year is a practice that has
always been followed here. Recog-
nizing this, some wag just before
u O'Clock on Friday night arranged
for a surprise. When the ringing
began at midnight, the dancers at
Thompson's ball noticed that hell
No 2 went by fits and starts and not
with half the usual yigor. 1t devel-
oped later that the ropes had been
generously smeared with axle grease,
and as first one fellow than another
rushed up to jerk the ropes, he gave
but yank or two, then quickly got
out and somebody else took chance.
When the sell had worked as fan as
it would the boys cleaned off the
ropes and then yanked that bell at
intervals for over an hour until it
became a nuisance and they were
prevailed upon to quit. They will
take along a light next time.

coMMlss loNgR's PROCEEDINGS

Mondays meeting of the Board of
County Commissioners was full of
interest in several respects 1t being
the first meeting in the new year
some important business was tram
sacted.
All members of the Board were
presents After approving the min
utes of the regular meeting the
Board proceeded to the Office of the
County Auditor and opened the bids
for the redemption of scrip.
Seventeen bids were submitted EN-
bracing $S615.00 in all, at prices
ranging from 4S cents to II cents on
the dollar, The Board entered an
order accepting all bids at 20 cents
and under, and rejecting all bids
over that amount.
Ed. f. Freudenthal, Il. j. Osborne
and A. S. Thompson, the three next
lowest bidders above 70 cents offer
cd to amend their bids and accept
that sum- The offer was refused aud
the money ordered re-advertised.
The bids submitted in the names
of f. r.. McNamee and II, w. Tur-
ner were withdrawn on suggestion
that bids by county officers could
not be accepted.
L. j. Osborne then objected to the
action of the Board in rejecting a
part, and all of the bids; and de
manded that the Board specify its
reasons for rejecting bids, other than
to say sit was for the best interests
of the county, and moved that his
objections be spread on the minutes
fthe meeting. This was refused as
being no part of the meeting of the
board.
Officers reports were submitted
and approved and the usual list of
claims against the county We're allow
ed.
A recess was then taken until six
o'clock when the work of selecting
jury panel for service in the District
court for this year was begun. A
list of $50 names was selected and
placed in the jury box. This is the
list from which panels of trial jurors
will be drawn by chance for the var
ious settings of court.

John Agnew and Thomas Kennedy
met a horrible death last week in the
Alden shaft at Wilkesbarre, Pa. They
had been sent down the shaft to cut
the ice which prevents the carriage
from running. They cut away the
ice until the car had descended sixty
feet, when it struck. The men could
not signal the engineer and the rope
continued to coil on top of the ear
until its weight forced the carriage
beyond the ice formation. The car
decended swiftly until the rope broke
when it fell 450 feet. The men were
dashed to pieces.

THE ENTERTAINMENT AND

The programme outlined for 81
Years eve in the way of an cut
ment and dance was carried o.
stantially as at first announced. The
vocal and instrumental selections pre- =
we'd a drawing card for one class,
the dancing for anothlr and the two
resulted in a very comfortably filed
hall, despite our sparse population
Old and young alike enjoyed the oc-
casion.
Instead of rendering tho pro-
gramme at the opening it was de-
ferred until 1890 when dancing was
interrupted and an hour ma n
half consumed in rendoring ma iol-
lowing selections.

the audience with a quite
determination that this should not
be the last gathering of the kind.
At 1890 o'clock an intermission
of one hour was taken for supper
when dancing was resumed,a and con-
tinued until $3.50 o'clock when the
affair ended though the floor was
still well filled with dancers.

At guIlionvilie.

j. f. Peck has returned to Bull
lionyille. The last car of machinery
was received there about two weeks
ago. 1t was reported just prior to
its arrival that the mill would be
ready for operation within ten days
after its receipt, but whether start
will be made while danger of cold
weather remains, we do not know.
The Bullionvlle mill has been
entirely remodeled 1t now repre-
sents one of the concentrators of the
Peck Bros. The particular method
of treating ore by this process is
secret. A number of these concen-
traitors have been successfully oper-
ated in other quarters and this
change was not made until after the
most thorough tests of the old tail
ing pits there. 1t is estimated at a
capacity OF 200 tons day Even
at this rate Bullionville will prosper
for several years before the present
pits are exhausted. The changes
in the mill have involved an outlay
of some $50, 10000, but so quietly
has the work gone on that outside
attention has been very little attrac-
ted to it.

The new mining law of Nevada
acts like charm. The County
Recorder reports that up to date he
has not received one notice for
record since the first of the year.
This thing of men taking up ten to
thirty claims in the same district,
by placing a location notice under
rock, is a thing of the past.
These kind of men have injured
every mining section greatly, and
have completely ruined good mining
localities. They rarely ever work.
Their fort is to bleed people for
grub and whiskey. They are the
drones of the mineral country,
Like the idler of the hive, they
should be driven forth. Give a
legitimate prospector show.

INVITES BRYAN TO SPEAK.
House Passes the Resolutions After
Much Parliamentary Practice.

The house has invited w. ]. Bryan
to address il before the session closes
The following was passed yesterday:
Whereas, The people of Kansas rec
ognize in W. J. Bryan a true type of
American manhood, "a gallant leader and
defender of bimetallic money, and a
man dear to the hearts of every true
kanSan; therefore be it
Resolved, by the house, the senate
concurring therein, That he be invited
to address the legislature in this hall
at such time as may be most conven-
lent to him before the adjournment of
this session. Be it further
Resolved, That the chief clerk of this
house is hereby instructed to forward
a copy of these resolutions to him on
the final passage of the same
When the resolution was offered,
Fitzgerald, Rep-, of Ford moved an
indefinite postponement of the resolu-
ton, and demanded a roll call.
The roll was called, the motion being
lost.
Stewart CRep.. Doniphan) moved to
adjourn and demanded a roll call, but
was declared out of order
Barley of Elk then moved the pre-
vious question which carried, 65 to 81,
a strict party vote.
On the roll call upon the previous
question, Mr.. Botkin said: Were the
resolution in proper shape would sup
port it" Cries for the roll call to pro-
coed came from the Populist side Mr.
Botkin pleaded for unanimous consent
to explain his vote. This being grant
ed, he said: There are some things in
that resolution which are an insult TO
Mr.. Bryan. 1t is in some portions
as disgusting as the supercilious de
scription of Bryan's smile written by
his wife"
The Populists yelled Botkin down and
at the completion of the roll call Stew
art of DOniphan again moved to ad-
journ and ten Republican members de-
manded a roll call.
Mr. Weilep, who was in the chair,
said:
THE roll call will proceed, as I see
the Republicans are determined to re-
tard the business of this house"
LObdell arose to a question of per
sonal privilege, saying: I am willing
to submit to the will of a majority of
the members of this body, but I will
not submit to dictation from the
chair, who has no right of that char
acter."
Speaker Street, who was on the floor,
said: 1T is about time the Republicans
Of this house yield to the majority Two
years ago, when we were in the minor
ity we offered no captiouS opposition
to their plans. Now they should sub
nit as we did,
While Mr.. BOtkin, on the south side,
was attempting to explain his position,
a third house was organized on the Pop
uIist side and a vote of thanks rendered
to Mr.. Weilep, who replied to MI LODI
dell, saying:
Il think it is the duty of the chair to
do whatever he can, at all times, to IA
ciIitate the business of the house..

passenger bills. Iowa lost 1854 railroad
men, and their wages would have
amounted to the sum of 81 4O6 S26. 49,
These statistics are taken from the re-
ports of the state board of railway COM
missiOners for the respective years.
Mr.. Brown would have the public
believe that the increase in the aver
age yearly wages paid was due to the
passage of these bills, but the fact is
that this increased average was due to
the fact that the greatest loss in men,
bers among the employees was among
the lowest paid classes of employees,
consequently those who remained re-
ceived higher average One of the
worst features of this case is the fact
that the greatest loss is among those
who could least afford it Another rea-
son for the increased pay at that time
was the fact that at about that time
wages were increased all over the west
generally, and this was not confined to
Iowa alone. 1t may interest the people
of Kansas to know that in 1885 there
We're in Kansas &c, 565 railway employees
including general officers, who received
an average daily pay of S1-79. Surely,
these are not princefy salaries. The
passage of the proposed maximum
freight rate and passenger bills would
mean a loss to Kansas of $50 or 500 rail-
way employees, who, with their families,
would make about $4,000 people, equal
in number to the standing army of the
United States, and everyone of them
are conscientious and spend their mon
ey wholly within the state. 1 do not
think the state can afford to lose these
people,
