A Strong Ticket.

The Popusts and Democrats of Anderson
county met ia convention in Garrett, Tuesday,
and nominated county ticket-oue of the best
tickets ever named by any political party in the
county. 1t is ticket that ought to appeal to
every voter in the county who desires to see
the affairs of the county conducted IN bust
ness.lke manner. What is more, there was
absolutely no lack of harmony in the delibera-
tons of the convention.
The two parties met in separate conventions
in the forenoon, and effected their organiza-
lions. Each convention appointed conference
committee to arrange for some plan by which
all could urite and place ticket in the field
that could be consistently supported by the
voters OF the county, regardless of party.
In the afternoon, the two conventions again
met and listened to the reports of the confer
ence committees The conference committees arrived
at the conclusion that ii advisable for the two
ventons 10 adjourn and to re-assemble in mass conven
ton and nominate ticket The proposition was sub
med to the conventions and unanimously adopted.
After adjournment. the delegates met in the Audito-
rum and proceeded to nominate ticket follows:
For representative, l. NJ Green; for treasurer, w. j.
McMurray for county clerk, J. F. Moon for clerk Of
the district court A. j. Coppage; for probate judge, j.
S. McCarney; for register Of deeds, Lawrence Feuer
born; for sheriff. VIM. Wycoff; for county attorney C.
w. WHlttlHStOE LOT county pIHlcI, w. w. CnaHlpc, lOr
superintendent Of public instruction Miss Beth Yeton
No nominations were made tor surveyor and coroner
and the county central committees empowered to
make nominations for these offices to substitute
ddaes for any other offices should any Of the nominees
decline to accept.
The delegates from the Second and Third commits
sioners districts then held conventions The Second
district nominated Fred Blum for county commissioner
and the Third district nominated j. F. Resell.
We have not room to give detailed account Of the
convention this week. We shall simply repeat what we
have already said: The convention was harmonious
and the ticket is strong one-well worthy Of the sup
yort Of every voter in Anderson county.
A word as to county printer The editor Of this pa
per not candidate for the office, and the nomina
ton unsolicited by us. We heartily thank our
friends who pushed to the 'front.'" We know we are
able to fill the office satisfactorily.

UNCLE DAVY WOULDN'T PAY.

When Uncle Davv .Hefebower was state
treasurer, he had little experience in the
school bond business, which is recalled by the
Con anche county incident.
1t was in 1897, when one w. w. Speer, a
bond broker, offered the school fund commits
sion $1,000 of Graham county bonds. They
were owned by New York and Boston parties,
and were sent to the First National Bank of
Topek, which acted as agent of the eastern
parties Speer paid 90 cents for the bonds and
sold them to the school fund commission at par.
They were registered in the auditors office and
stamped as the property of the state, and the
warrant was issued by the school find commits
sion to pay for them. But Uncle Davy refused
to pay the warrant for the bonds. He was told
that he had no right to make such refusal
and no authority t. pass on the action of the
school fund commissioners. But Uncle Davy
said he wouldn't invest his own money in those
bonds at par, and he wouldn't invest the states
money in them, either-and he didn't, although
mandamus suit was brought to compel him to
do so. The supreme court sustained MIN.

Denver, June 7.-The Republican
spondent at Victor gives the fol-
lowing account of the terrible dyna-
mite explosion at the Independence
depot yesterday morning:
The most dastardly crime ever com
mitted in the annals of the West cost
the lives of thirteen miners en-
ployed at the Findley mine, crippled
many others for life and has precipi-
tated a condition of riot in the Cripple
Greek district which has cost at least
one other life and before peace is
again restored may cost many more.
At 2:35 O'Clock a. m, at the change
of shifts at the Findley mine, between
fifty and sixty of the miners working
on the property passed down the hill
a few hundred feet to the lndepend-
ence depot of the Florence & Cripple
Creek railway. there to board the COM
ing suburban train for their several
homes in Victor and Cripple Creek.
They had completed their nights
work, the train had whistled for the
station and was slowing up for the
platform to take these men aboard.
Suddenly = terrific explosion occur
ring under the platform of the depot
tossed nearly one-half of the waiting
miners high into the air, mangled the
bodies of ten of them almost beyond
identification, killing Immediately
eleven, injuring two to such an extent
that they died soon after their arrival
at the hospital, and manning five for
life.
The scene following is one beyond
description. The force of the explosion
put out lights in Altman, mile and a
half away, broke windows in Goldfeld
and Independence, wrecked a number
of homes near the depot and tore ar
immense cavern in the ground where
the depot platform and building hat
once stood
