Dunlap’s “Champion" Stylograph
A person who has never need a
Stylographic Pen, cannot possibly
know its value or convenience, or ho
would certainly procure one at any
price. We have used a Pea, presented
to us by Mr. L. E. Dnnlsp, of Boston,
, for over two years, and wo sow'
intend to send for one of the
’Champion” Pens recentlypatented by
Mr. Dunlap, as we are advised thati it
contains valuable improvements;
of the improvements being a
pound spiral spring formed from a
tube of hard rubber, while other
Stylographic Pens have fine gold wire
or metalie springs, which soon ro
oorrode.
This newly invented Pen is unani
mously endorsed by the trade as giving
perfect satisfaction to their customers,
many any, it ia the only Stylo
graphic Plon worth having at any price.
In order to sucessfnlly introduce to
the public this new and valuable Pen,
the manufacturers (Dunlap Stylograph
Co.,) 206 Washington Street, Boston,
Maas., offer (for a short time only) to
■end by return mail, to any address ii
the U. S., a Champion Pen, 0 months
supply ot ink, and a beautiful gold
mounted pencil, on receipt of tbe price
of tbe Pen, whicl} is $2.00 each for
plain, and $2.50 each for gold mounted.
Tbe Champion Pen is the same in
etyle and finish as Pens sold every
where at $3.50 and $4.00.

Recognizing God’s blessing upon

withGod’a help and blessing, be free

We therefore call for a State Oea

May 9th and 10th, 1885, to which wo
invite two representatives from every

ne strange bed-fellows, bnt it seems
that luxury sometimes brings one

of tbe governor in tbe matter was at
tributed to a desire to examine all tbe
details before be signed tbe contract.
The reasons that led him to reject

After reciting the act authorizing
the issue, Cel. Anderson said:
Yonr excellency, after advising with
the treasurer and myaolt, published
the notice contemplated by tin act, in
viting bids for bonds bearing interest
at the rate of five per cent per annum,
to be issued as follows: $200,000 Jnly
1st 1885; $225,000 Jannary 1st lSf
and the remainder of the snm authoriz
ed, or so much thereof as should be
deemed requisite to meet the wants of
the State on the first ot June 1886.
In response to this notice,von inform
me that various bids have been made,
some of them modifying the terms of
the published notice as to the dates of
delivery, as well as the rate of interest,
and yon desire my opinion as to wheth
er the act contemplates the sale of the
bonda in sneb way as to raise the mon
ey any considerable time before it is
needed to pay off maturing bonds, or
whether the trne interpretation of tho
act is that, as far as practicable, the
money shall be raised, by a sale of tbo
bonds, as the State needs it; or wheth-
for instance, where bidders propose
take the entire issue of bonds at a
given rate of interest, they to have
the option to reqnire the last install
ment of bonds to be delivered some
nine months before the money will be
needed to pay off matnring bonds of

tbe State(this last installment amount
ing to abont $3,000,000), yon wonld
be authorized, under a proper interpre
tation of tbe act, to accept such a bid.
The act undoubtedly confers very
large discretional y powers on the exec
utive, bnt I think it clearly contem
plates the sale and delivery of tbe bonds,
as far aa practicable,as money is needed
meet tbe outstanding indebtedness
of the State, maturing in the years
named. I am of the opinion that it
certainly wonld not be wise and pru
dent exercise of the discretion conferred
by the act, to sell the bonds as to bring
into the treasury any considerable pan
of tbe money, which it is contemplated
as much as nine months be-
need, if it is at all practicable
to avoid doing so. It manifestly wonld
not be if the bonds can be sold, at the
same rate of interest, so as to raise
money as the State needs it for tbe
purposes specified in the act. Yon
excellency intorms me that offers hav>
been made which show that this cai
he done, so far as the necessities ot th
State for the ensuing twelve months
i concerned. I have no hesitation
stating that, in my jndgment
wonld be much more in accordance with
the spirit and purpose and true intent
of the act, to accept bids of the latter
description than bids which contem-
ur 7-
Id have netted.

He therefore decided to reject the
Moses Taylor bid because of ite lower
'rice, as he had already rejected the
iVolfe bid because of its irregularity.
These two bids once rejected, there
were no others as high as the Wolfe
bid. He therefore determined to reject
all bids and proceed to sell the bonds
by private negotiation, as tha selling
act expressly authorized him to do,
unless there is reason hereafter for far
ther advertising.

Gov. McDaniel can now offer for
sale enough of the aew bonds to meet
$100,000 of bonds to be immediately
provided for under tho act. Daring
the tell he can sell enough of the new
bonds to meet the bonds falling due in
February and April ’86.
At any time within the next twelve
oaths he can sell tbe three million

Denver, April 20.—A Louisville
dispatch to the Tribune-Republican
says that intelligence reached there yes
terday afternoon that eleven men, work-
"n the Homestake mine, on Eagle
_ , had been buried in a snow slide.
Within an hour a special train, carry
ing relief, left for the scene of the dis
aster. Arriving at a point nearest the
mine, the party was met by a crowd of
excited miners who informed them il
useless to attempt to reach the
t through the soft snow, even with
■now shoes, at that time of day. The
party were convinced of tbe impossibil
ity of proceeding and returned to Lead-
vflle, whence they would repeat the trip
early this morning, when it was hoped
the enow wonld bear the weight of men.
Another dispatch, dated Tennea
Pass, says that news reached there
midnight ofa snow slide near that
place in which eleven miners were sup
posed to have perished.
Tbe men had been working in the
omesteke mine and nothing having
been beard from them for a fortnight, a
man named Frank Sanderson started
out to ucertaia if any barm bad befal
lea them.
On arriving at the flat, where two
cabins had stood in which the men
lived, Sanderson found everything
bnried by a deep snow-slide, which had
evidently come down in the deed of
night. Not a sign of life was to be
seen in any direction. There is no
