Almost Revolt Among RepubII-
can Nominees Exodus to
the Country-Politl-
cal Chat.

There came near being an open re-
volt in the Republican county ticket
yesterday. Early in the day the cam.
paign committee "buscaed" around,
hired several musicians, loaded team
with fish bait and other necessary
supplies and started the nominee for
sheriff, Jose Gabriel Montana, out into
the country on vote catching expedl-
ton. But 1t seems that Mr.. Montana
was 10th to 60; he appeared to regard
it as simply a waste Of time. energy
and money for nothing. However he
went. and after proceeding some miles
out he had another spell of desponden-
cy. Then he ordered the driver to turn
about and drive back to town. Upon
his arrival on the plaza he discharge d
the musicians and declared he wouldn't
90 step into the country in search of
votes. But after much coaxing by Don
Eugenio and other candidates the expe-
dition was again got together and start
ed out. Mr.. Montana looking the very
picture of dispalr as he climed into a
seat beside one Of the grinning musi-
clans.

City Clerk Marceline Ortiz, of Santa
Fe, who was nominated for county as

moniously bounced later by the com
mittee, is spendinga a few days in Las

Authentic information from Albu-
querque is to the effect that the Demo,
Gratis and Independent Republicans are
making most successful campain and
the county of Bernalillo is now consid-
cred as more than likely TO give Fer
gusson majority. At any rate, Re-
publican money that was freely in
sight ten days ago can not now be
found and several parties who have Of
fered to place few hundred or 30 in
wagers on Ferguson could find no
takers.
The Union party candidates are all
out in the field and are making a most
aggressive campaign. They go armed
with facts and figures taken from the
official records showing that it is a
piece of impertinence, in the light of
their past record, for the Republicans
to ask the taxpayers for their votes at
this election. The record is against
the Republicans at any point, and none
of them dare meet the Union party
nominees in joint debate on the issues
now at stake.

WASHINGTON Nov. A letter from
Lieut.. Col. Carbonne, of the Cuban
army, now at Havana, has been recelv-
ed by Secretary Quesada, of the Cuban
legation, wholaid it before Secretary
.Aiger with an urgent request that steps
.be taken to relieve the extrememe dis
uress it sets forth. Col. Carbonne says:
General Menocal took me to see his
weak, tottering, squalid soldiers, made
so on account of want of food and the
actual necessities Of life. These men
were ia such a state by reason of obey
ing their chiefs, who desire first of all
TO respect the orders of the American
government. The cuban leaders told
me to tell you that they will maintain
their resignation and patience, and
above all, keep faith with the Ameri-
can government and the worthy presl-
dent, Mckinley, but at the same time,
they said, "let it beunderstood that we
are hungry; that we have in the towns
aud fields Of Cuba all that is needed in
the way of food, but that We are for
fbidden to touch it by reason OF the
peace Order.r

WASHINGTON, Nov. 4,TTThe admins

peace commission with equanimity in
the realization that the government is
perfectly well prepared for any turn the
negotiations may take. The navy es-
pec:ally is in state of preparedness
should it come to resumption of hos

military authorities that the army as a
whole, though smaller, is also more for

Providence Association.


The Providence Horse improvement
Association announces that it will give
it's second annual horse show, June p
and 20, 1893, day and evening.
The grounds will be lighted In the
evening by the Narragsnsett Electric
Light Company and this, 1t Ia antici-

The exhibition will take place on Lin
coin Field, Brown University. The

The association last year, under very
depressing conditions. gave to the citi-
zens Of Providencs what 10 believed TO
have been a most commendable horse
saow. and 1t is hoped to make the effort
of this year far superior to thas OF last.
In order, however, 10 do this, 1t Is neces
sarv that we have tie assistance OF oar
citi zeDs and we sincerely hopo and helleve
that we shall receive II.
This enterpriss of the ASSOCIATION Is not
for money making, but on the contrary,
has been inaugufated mainly In the In
terest OF the horse, and incidentally for
the purpose OF giving to Providence an
entertainmeut which has now become
popular throughout the land.
Our premium lists are out ami are be-
ing circulated.

Tic Marc That Got Loft.

A Scottish paper tells story of
Sandy Mo, Forfarshire farmer,
who had been spending an hour or
two in the evening with friend
couple of miles away. 1t was moon
light night, and Sandy, after partak-
ing freely of his friends hospitality,
was riding quietly home across the
sheep pastures on his "guid auld
mare" when they came to an open
ditch, which his mare refused to cross.
q. "Hoot ava, Maggie" said the rider,
''this Wilma dae. Ye maun iist over"
He turned back about a hundred
yards, wheeled round, and gave the
mare a touch of his whip. On she
went at O brisk canter; but as they
reached the edge of the ditch she
stopped dead and shot Sandy clean
over to the other side.
Gathering himself NY, Sandy looked
his mare straight in the face and said:
"Vera weel pitched, indeed, ma
lass. Bit hoo are ye goin' to get over
yersel', eh?"

Experiments conducted under the
auspices of the Department of Agri.
culture at Washington for couple OF
yd1s are said to indicate that hog
cholera, or swine plague, can be treated
with success and with comparatively
little expense. According to DR.. Sal
mon, of the Bureau of Animal Indus
try, eighty per ceat. of the hsgs treated
in droves have been saved, while in
the droves affected with cholera, but
not given the serum treatment en-
ployed by the department, eighty per
cent. were lost. Last year the expert
ments resulted in loss OF twenty-five
per cent. and tiis year the loss
amounted to only nineteen per cent.
In the view, OF Dr.. Salmon there is no
question of the effectiveness Of the
serum treatment, which now takes
rank as proved success. This is
matter of very great interest to the
farmers Of the country who raise live
stock, for, according to one estimate,
the hog raisers of the United States
lost $15,0O0,OO0 in the year 1896
through the ravages of hog cholera,
an amount the bulk of which might
seemingly have been saved through
tho application of the serum treat.

TALE OF A DESERTED CITY.
Meadow Lake, in California, Is Called tn,
American Pompeii.

American PompelI.
In Nevada County, California, re.
pose the remains of one of the strang-
est towns on this continent Meadow
Lake is the American Pompeii, whose
entombing lava is the summit snow
storms, which sometimes bury it
twenty-five feet deep ON level, and
those annual exhuming is brought
about by the summer sun.
1t was in the summer of 1865 that
the name Meadow Lake was formally
given to the town, previously called
Excelsior and Summit City. Until
1858 nothing had been done in the
way of prospecting that particular To-
cality.
Henry Hartly, an Englishman, who
visited the vicinity in June, 1868. in
search of game and CHANGED to dis
cover fragments of gold, impaired his
discovery to his friends. A company
was formed, and soon after other com
panies, and the building of city was
started.
With the close of the fall of 1866 the
new city contained about one hundred
and fifty houses completed and a num-
Der of others in course of construc-
ton. Then all hopes were blasted.
The adventurers awoke to the sad
reality that, though there was plenty
of gold in Meadow Lake, it was SO
combined with some substance un-
known to the metallurgists that it was
effectually locked from the hands of
man.
All dreams, the black art, science
and metallurgy were set at naught.
One after another, as they abandoned
hope, the disappointed gold seekers
turned their backs on Meadow Lake
and went down the mountain.
More than two million dollars had
been poured into that bottomless abyss
of California known as "dead work."
to pay for mills, roads, buildings and
mining.
For years the solitary inhabitant of
Meadow Lake was Hartly, the Eng
lishman, who was mainly responsible
for the existence of the town.
