PoLITICAL.--As the time approaches for the
nomination of county as well as State officials
it behooves the Republicans of Trinity to take
some action in the matter. The method of maxi
ing nominations for the coming campaign is one
of great Importance and in which every voter is
interested. The question is as to whether it
shall be done by the Crawford county plan as
adopted two years since or shall we return to the
old system of Delegates and Conventions. We
would like to hear the question thoroughly dis
cussed and for such purpose will devote por-
ton of our space to any who have views to ad-
vance on the subject As for our ourselves, we
certainly favor the Convention system. How
ever, we propose to discuss this question at
length, in a later issue.

Already the season is too far advanced to be a
good one, but hopes are still entertained that
there will be storm enough to enable our miners
to make an averge seasons work. We are not
very certain of this. There is no snow on the
mountains and it is getting too late to expect
any great amount to fall. Without melting snow
to feed the streams, the limited supply of water
now being used must soon fail. We believe that
most of our miners will be satisfied if they get
enough work done to pay expenses.

matter of course, will have seat to him.

consequently there will be no crowding,

There will be one entrance to the car

these palace cars from Harlem to the

Chicago is in a muddle about her parks.
The Park Commissioners have used up all
their money and have not paid for the land,
and are besieging the Legislature for power
to raise more to enable them to complete the
purchase according to law. They were en-
powered to assess contiguous property, under
the name of " benefit" to a sufficient amount
to pay for the condemned land, and thought
they had done so, but the enhanced value of
the property taken leaves them in the voca4

INDIANS IN THE YAKIMA REGIoN.-
From the Da les MoHntaineer Of the 18th
of March, we copy the following: Some
parties who are interested in keeping peo-
Pile from going 10 the Yakima Valley,
Washington Territory, to settle, have in
formed the OregOnidR that the Indians at
Priests Rtpids are about TO break out
and make trouble. A rumor similar TO
this was gotten up last spring for the
s me purpose, and succeeded in running
off number of new comers and keeping
out number that otherwise intended 10
settle in that part Of the country. People
looking for pastures for their herds should
pay no attention to these foolish rumOrs,
but 60 on about their business and locate
just whore they please. When the ln>
dians intend TO 60 on the war path they
don't generally go and tell it to individa-
ais engaged in stock raising, but usually
go to work in business like manner and
kill the friends first. Strangers therefore
need not fear, for they will receive timely
warning. The Indians on the. south SIDE
of the Columbia river are all quiet, and
as their numbers are now very small,
thanks to Gen. Crook, they will ne'er
make any more trouble, except among
the politicians, who are so anxious 10 take

POlttfcs IN Alabama .. rr


MONTGOMERY, Ala, June 23.-The Daily
State Journal, the organ of the Republican
party of Alabama, in its issue this morning says:
''We have lived in this State for more than q
quarter of a century, and have never felt inse-
cure in person or property on account of politi-
cal opinions. We are sincere in our Republic
canism, and we feel safe because we love our
people and honestly believe that we are pur-
suing course that will rebound to their peace,
happiness and prosperity.


''Those men who call themselves Republicans
and who are continually trying to get into Office
by stirring up discord and strife and poisoning
the minds of voters in secret dens at midnight,
where honest men and sincere Republicans are
plotted against simply because they are honest
and sincere and have social standing in the
community, may feel unsafe. We inderse no
such libel upon the whole people of our State.
Radical, vulturous Ku-klux office-seekers of
every party are doing us more harm as people
than all the libels ever written. We believe that
every honest man Is safe in Alabama, no matter
what his political opinions are."

cumstances.


The st. Louis Democrat of the 21st inst. says:-


A brace of railroad accidents of shocking
character occurred at o'clock yesterday morn
ing on the levee. The tracks connecting the
Pacific and Iron Mountain Railroads with the
grain elevator and the North Missouri Railroad
join at the foot of Poplar street, and trains of
cars are moving over them almost constantly at
night.


Officers Barry and Gummersell, while patrol
ling their beat, at 3 o'clock, heard a shout for
help proceeding from the sevee, and ran TO the
spot from whence 1T came. They discovered
James Wilson lying on the track, up which a
train had just passed, with his foot crushed to
a jelly by the wheels. The officers took charge
of him, and prepared to move him to the Health
Office tor treatment. After procuring baggage
wagon, in which they were about to place him,
they heard another cry for help a few rods
below them. Investigation proved that another
man had been run over by another train, which
backed down a few moments before.


The second sufferer proved to be Martin Nor
rissey. His injuries were of horrible nature
The car wheels had passed over both his legs
above the knees and crushed and mangled them
until they held only by a few shreds of skin.
His right hand had become entangled in the
brake Of one of the cars, and by it he was drag
ged along the track until the hand and wrist
became mass of pulpy flesh and broken bones,
when the brake no longer held it.


The officers placed Morrlssey beside Wilson in
the wagon, and drove both to the Health Office.
The Dispensary Physician saw at glance that
nothing could be done for the former, and after
bandaging Wilson's crushed foot, he directed
that they be Immediately removed to the City
Hospital. The amputation of Morrissey's legs
was there performed, but the terrible shock
sustained caused his death few hours after.


Wilson was properly attended to and will
probably recover, although the injury sustained
will cripple him for life.


1t is supposed that both men had been drink
ing during the night and by chance staggered
to the railroad track, where they lay down and
went to sleep. Neither of them could have
been there more than ten minutes when dis
covered, and it is singular coincidence that,
perfect strangers to each other they shoHld
have both been run over almost at the same time
and place and In the same manner.

Western Rural writes as follows:


There is perhaps, as a rule, no stock

find, that he can buy the cheapest,
and lets them run together to couple
promiscuOusly, until he at last finds
himself in the situation of one Of the
correspondents of the Western Rural,
who desires to know what he shall do
with his hogs. He says they consume
about as much as they ought to, yet
they will not fatten. My advice to
him would be to knife them, and get
them out Of the way, and procure
something that will fatten.


Notwithstanding there is so little
done toward improvement in this
line, yet none of our stock is so easily
and quickly improved as our hogs.


BY selecting a good SOW, and coup
ling her with good male Of some OF
the improved breeds, we may raise
two litters a year, thus furnishing all
the hogs that farmers ordinarily want
to keep. If there is a wideaawake
man among you, who has enterprise
enough to send to some other part of

stock of hogs, or cattle, pStrOnize him.

An old story contains lesson which
many married couples have net yet
learned. When Jonathan Trumbull
was Governor of Connecticut a gentle
man called at his house one day re-
questing a private interview. He
said: ''I have called upon a very un-
pleasant errand, Sir, and want your
advice. My wife and do not live
happily together, and / am thinking
of getting a divorce. What do you
advise, SiF?"


The Governor sat a few moments in
thought: then turning to his visitor,
said, "HOw did you treat Mrs. W
when you were cOurting her? and
how did you feel toward her at the
time of your marriage ?'i


Squire W-replied, 'I treated her
as kindly as l could, for / loved her
dearly at that time"


"Well, sir" said the Governor, ego
home and court her now Just as you
did then, and love her as you did
when you married her. Do this in the
fear of God for one year, and then tell
me the result.'


Governor Trumbull then said, 'Let
us pray"


They bowed in prayer aud then
separated. When a year had passed
away Squire W-called again tO,see
the Governor and said: II have call
ed to thank you for the good advice
you gave me, and to tell you that my
wife and l are as happy as when first
we were married I can not be CRATE
full enough for your good counsel"

will continue to court your wife as
long as you live.',
