Mr.. Smith was surprised; then amused.
"You-you dig more coal than Big

The contest was set for six weeks later.
1t was to be a seven days race. Hill
quietly went to coal mine near Bell
vile, and spent more than five weeks i'll
careful training.
On the first day of the contest Hill
and Big jim met at one of Mr.. Smith $
mines. They stripped and went to work
in the same pit, but i'll opposite shafts.
Big Jim tried for IA squirt. hoping to so
discourage his antagonist that he would
quit. Hill plodded along. At noon Big
Jim had twice the amount of coal that
Hill had. At night he was two loads
ahead. The second day he gained an
other car load Then he felt sure of
winning, and began IA celebration i'll adj
vance 1t cost him heavily, for the third
day Hill wiped ont the three car loads
advantage. and was on even terms with
him at nightfall
A note of cOngratulation from his
sweetheart and the news that her father
was already proud of him because of his
grit, was a good tonic for Hill. He con-
tinued to dig until the sixth day found
him one carload ahead.
Both men spurted on the seventh and
last day, and when the whistle sounded
the end of the race, Hill fell to the
ground exhausted. But he was slightly
less than a carload ahead of Big Jim and
the prize was his.
Hill recovered III Il few days and the
marriage was celebrated. Mr.. Smith
was delighted with him and made him

NOTES.
As above stated, 1873 registered voters
did not go to the polls. Last year the
number was 1874.
1t was IA quiet, orderly election. In
deed, until toward the closing hour the
street groups We're of but little more
than everyday size.
Early i'll the evening the small boy,
without regard to politics, paraded the
streets with horns, drum and flags.
Later larger boys and men got into it
and made the welkin ring.
About , Wednesday morning several
wellllnown and popular gentlemen, ac
companied by about dozen boys, sere-
naded the JOURNAL, an old cOw-bell
leading the orchestra. a tall man
waved meanwhile Il pretty sample of the
Stars and Stripes high enough to be seen
and salutcd with the hon0rs due to the
national ensign. The proper acknowl
edgments We're made, though not in full
dress. The matter is mentioned here on
that account. Thanks. gentlemen.
James H. Taylor, one of the most ex-
pert telegraphers i'll the United States,
reproduced the messages for his Elk
brethren i'll rapid and legible style. He
is entitled to a vote which includes both
thanks and tribute to his skill.

of in social way The victors have

The Election.

Never prettier morning dawned.
Not cloudlet broke the blue serenity of
the canopy. Only little haze softened
the mountain outlines and chastened the
valley into il "Vale of Chamouny."
Otherwise as stated, il was a morning
clear as cryst ], big as all visible space
and round as the horizon.
Partisans on both sides of the Great
Divide" which separates the leading
parties accepted the day as suspicious of
success. One, attempting rhyme, left
this with the JOURNAL:
This mornings glorious sunshine
Means double U. Jennings Bryan.
But he was mistaken.
OF | ,592 registered voters i'll the three
town districts 1873 failed to attend the
polls.
The 400 who awaited themselves Of
their sovereign privilege did so as APP
