many years. He does not fully realize
lust how popular the city of New York
is in the rural districts, but he is in fair
way to obtain some valuable information
upon that point, il is believed, before he
is many days older. The general opin-
ion among Republican statesmen is that
Chicago will be selected for the place OF

The conviction of seven cattle thieves
during the recent term of district court

There is no doubt that such a whole

the fearless and aggressive course of
Bert Mossman, the Aztec company's
