cratic ticket.

assessments on candidates. Candidates
for county Offices, proper, are assessed
10 per cent Of the gross salary of the
office for tho first year, while candl-
dates for the Legislature are assessed
$50 straight This is a case in which

the lowest salary attached is the lucki-
est.

French HuguenOts. They are non

is to read the Bible; they know it by

in circumference. All the clay and
wash in which the fossils are imbedded

wages to one working with a rocker.
Some Of the fossils show gold on their
surfaces.
The mode Of disposition of these
bones is at best a matter of conjecture.
Biologists who have studied the mat
ter, advance two theories. The first is
that since the basin where they are de-
posted below the falls. the animals
were washed over and caught in an
eddy, and deposited there
May Be Prehistoric PitfaH.
The second theory is that since the
ms mmoth existed in the post-tertiary
period, and was cOntemporaneouS with
prehistoric man, this basin may have
been used as a pitfau, because large
numbers of stone knives and axes have
been found in connection with similar
bones in the same vicinity.
Several years ago, about mile be-
low the falls, were uncovered the par
tial remains of a mammoth OK This
