CONVENTION NOTES, The republican convention at Mound City, Wednesday nominated the following ticket For treasurer, Frank Baitd, of Lincoln township.

9 For Clerk, James Cady, of Potosi township. For Register of Deeds, J. T. Holmes of Sheridan township. For Sheriff, Chas.

Morrison, of Mound City. For Surveyor, J. F. Harrison, of Mound City. For Coroner, Dr.

S. H. Brooks, of Mound City. Jim Holmes was nominated on thc 14th ballot. The main fight simmered down to Holmes, Vance and Hawkins, with Vance and Holmes drawing on Hawkins at each ballot.

In the 13th Hawkins withdrew and his streng went to Holmes, who had 105 votes on the 14th. 97 votes were necessary to nomination. This was then made unanimous. The fight of the convention thus ended in the selection of man that will run like a scared wolf. All the rest of the ticket was nominated by acclamation.

The utmost harmony prevailed. The convention passed a resolution indorsing the expansion policy of the administration. Every man on the Sheridan delegation took off his shirt and worked with a will They were there for Holmes and intended to land him. They had a hard fight on account of location. When Holmes was nominated Cran Lowe threw his hat in the air and yelled: Wheres your location now! Quite a number of old land-marks were present.

Bill Watson, of Potosi, was present, whooping it up for Jim Cady, Bill has flopped. Jim Snoddy acted as chairman, and that voice of his rumbled from somewhere down in his whiskers. Jim makes a good chairman. O. S.

Riggs was secretary of the convention. Colonel Ed. R. Smith was present; he always is. Only on this occasion he didnt say anything about the republicans going to heaven and the lion eating a can of roast beef without injury to his digestive apparatus.

He will probably mention that during the campaign. The delegates present were chuck-full of enthusiasm. They were ready to put up the dough that the republicans would elect everythirg from top down to road boss, but of course where all men wanted to think the same way could get no takers. Of course with the thermometer standing at 104 something had to be done; so J. Frank fanned the thermometer, while Hank McGlothliu prayed and H.

H. Woy pulled cork-screws. The Sheridan delegation was all full of enthusiasm for Holmes. Tom Makemson was on hand doing all he could for that old war horse, Jim Holmes. He was everywhere.

No one seemed to realize the fact that C. E. Hoag would be a hard man for Cady to go up against. That J. L.

Gove had beat Harrison for surveyor once and was a popular official. That Larry Higgins was a vote getter; that Ras Clemens might second term, and that this self-same Rastus was a mixer and had lots of warm personal friends in theif party that the election would be close. The nominees are all good men anc will run well at home. The west side of the county did not get anything, not even a smell. Why? Beeause they did not have any candi Kansas City, Fort Scott Memphis Time Table.

FISH IN THE SNOWBANKS. A Moat Unique Dot Welcome Sort of a Snowallde Among: A or wegl an Mountains. A snow avalanche with very unusual results is reported from Norway. It gave the people of Christiania something to talk about for a week. The unique phenomenon occurred among the low mountains back of the capital on March 13.

There had been an extraordinary fall of snow, and then came a big thaw, which melted a great deal of the ice in the little Lilledal river. A very large number of fish had their home in this stream, and what happened to them is the unusual feature of this avalanche, says the New York Sun. In the night a large mass of snow on the hills on one side of the stream slipped from the slopes and glided with great velocity down into the river. The face of the avalanche was about a mile in length, and for that distance it slid into the river, not sharing the river bea with the water, but violently ejecting the stream and the fish living in it. The force of that concussion must have been very great, for the water and fish were hurled hundreds of feet.

ext morning the people were very much surprised to find, high on the slopes of the hills bordering the other side of the valley, a great number of fish scattered over the snow. For some days there was a most unusual sort of fishing in progress. Men, women and children were floundering about in the snow gathering the fish in baskets, and the people living along the valley had all the fish they could eat without baiting hook. NOT A FAIR TEST. For the Victim of Rabies Died from the Treatment on the Fifth Day, They were talking about hydrophobia and rabies.

One of the party was a well-known Philadelphia physician, says the Chicago Evening News. He listened quietly to the quasi-scientific theories of the others, and when they had qnite finished, one of them said: What have you got to say about it, doctor? Well, be said, thoughtfully, I would not exactly like to say what my opinion is. I' might be misreported; but I will tell you, if you like, how the disease was treated 100 or 200 years ago. At that time hydrophobia, in common with every other obscure disease, was thought to be the work of a devil, and all sorts of queer tricks were resorted to to drive him out. There is on record a case which occurred at Colchester, in England.

It was a woman who had been bitten by a rabid dog. The cux was killed, of course, and the treatment of the woman was in keeping with the period. She was placed In a bath of tepid water up to her neck and ducked seven times, each time being kept under so long as she could hold her breath. This was to be repeated every seven hours for seven days, she being fed on milk only during the treatment. Unfortunately, she died on the fifth day, but the doctor gravely remarked that it was a pity, for if she bad held out two days longer she would have been cured.

And that is probably true. AN IVORY WAREHOUSE. It Is One of the Most Interesting Buildings on the Great London Docks. One of the most interesting warehouses at the London docks is that which contains ivory. Here the ivory is collected for the great sales by auction which take place quarterly, says the Golden Penny.

These constitute the largest ivory sales in the world, some 90 tons being sold at each sale, at a rough aggregate of $500,000. The worlds annual consumption of ivory is estimated at something like 2,500,000 pounds, valued at $4,500,000, and to sup-1 ply this amount 70,000 elephants must killed. The consumption in Sheffield alone requires the annual slaughter of 12,000 animals. Africa supplies the greatest bulk of ivory, and it forms one of the principal exports of the Zanzibar merchants. One firm some years ago sent away in one year as many as 6,000 tusks.

The supply of ivory is not what it Mce wa. and it seems as if the wild elephant, like the teriSneteihTbeliniiairTrildefepliant has become so scarce of late that India is now obliged to import a considerable quantity of ivory, indeed, the demand for ivory is constantly increasing, and as the supply becomes less and less the price of ivory rises proportionately. A vast amount of fossil ivory is exported from eastern Siberia to various conn- I tries, chiefly to the continent, where it is more highly esteemed than in Eng-1 land. No Core for Seasickness. Notice should be taken of the efforts which have from time to time been made by the marine architect to mitigate the miseries of seasickness, writes Clark Russell, in the Pall Mall Gazette.

He has doubled his ship, he has slung his ship as in a cradle. To no purpose. The life of the channel steward remains an arduous one. Seasickness is not to be considered by the shipwright. If it was merely the rolling motion that creates nausea, then a hammock or a cot would be as sure a relief as a twin ship or a cradle-hung saloon.

Sickness is caused by the several motions of the sea combined, and the worst of these movements the builder cannot possibly clivity to whose frothing head she aps a wpreotat ca.p!',re 3ag of truce displayed by the natives who remained in the town when the a-mericatl trorre advanced was pair ef white irmisers.

At lhis time the chile had been sick for about ten days and was having about twenty-five operations of the bowels every twelve hours, and we were convinced tuat unless it soon obtained relief it would not live. Chamberlains Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy was recommended, and I decided to try it.
