If there is any man that deserves
q handsome recognition at the

b. YandelI, Of this place. For ten
years he has been the chief organ.
izer and most effective worker in
his party in all local contests, and
for number of years his counsel
aud work has been in high esteem
among the sages of his party in
district and state politics. He is
wise in planning and valiant in

ollie James and His "Cinch.'

Frankfort Correspondent Cincinnati
Enquirer
There will be many Kentuck-
ians who will be gratified to know
that ollie James. the erstwhile
boy orator of Crittenden county,
and the biggest man physically
and politically of his section, has
finally gained almost Il clear field
for the attainment of a long-stan-
ding ambition to go to Congress.
Congressman Wheeler's declina-
ton of denomination leaves the
First District plum practically in
Ollie's hands. Even though such
men as State Senator n. w. Utley
of Lyon county; Hon Sam Cross
land Of Graves, and j. X. Hend-
rick of Livingston, are mentioned
as possible opponents, there is a
general inclination to concede that
the long and unselhsh party SER
vices of the big man from Crit
tenden practically assure him the
nomination. And in the First dis
trict the election Of Democratic
nominee is a mere formality.

THE manager OF the Smugler- Union
mines of Colorado made a settlement
with the miners union on the 9th in
slant, concedinS most OF the points
asked by the union. Within few
weeks tho mine sill again be operated
to its full capacity. The trouble be-
tween the management and the union
was as to whether the management
had the right to let contracts without
first submitting the matter to the
union. The union claimed that con-
tracts should not be let at figure
which would not pay the union scale
The management would not concede
the point, hence the strike, in which
several men were killed. The settle
ment OF the difficulty will not bring
the unfortunate victims OF the strike

The hot wave throughout the east
crn, central and western states claimed
hundreds of victims every day last
week, the thermometer ranging from
100 to l03 degrees. No prostrations
have as yet been reported from heat in
Arizona, though the thermometer in
some sections registered from los TO
Ito. The climate in Arizona is so dry
that the heat is more like that OF a
furnace. 1t is unpleasant, Of course,
but the nights are cool and refreshing.
II may not be generally known that the
california Column" regiment
organized at Sacramento towards the
close of the war, marched through
Arizona to FL Paso without the loss of
man from heat. They carried their
arms, several rounds of ammunition, a
canteen of water and other essentials
of tho march. This proves that the
worst OF Arizona climate is not so bad
as it has always been painted.
