There was no excitement and hut little interest, owing to the fact that 'here was no possible chance for a ght. There was the usual contest from over the mountains, in Ccntralia arst ward, and Conyngham South East. These were referred to a committee consisting of V. T. Creasy, R. G. F. Kshinka. Jas. Quick, Miles Smith, and William Dildine, and were quickly disposed of. The Ccntralia 1st vote was thrown out owing to a fight at the polls and the usual stealing of the ballot box. The Conyngham West vote was not counted. The convention was called to order hy W. B. Allen, county chair man, and W. C. Johnston Esq was elected permanent chairman. The other officers were: Boyd F. Maize Esq, of Bloom, and Charles Harter of Catawissa, secretaries; and John G. Hartnan Esq, reading clerk. After reading the votes of the dis tricts the followiug were declared to be the nominees: For Sheriff, W. W. Black. For Jury Commissioner, T. B. Gorduer. For Coroner, Dr. B. F. Sharpless. Russell Karns of Benton moved that the rule giving the South Side a Representative, be ablished. This was opposed by W. T. Creasy, C. E. Randall and R. G. F. Kshinka, and was lost by a large vote.

The bushes are covered with blossoms and, now that rain lias come there will be no end to berries. Huckleberries will, how ever, be scarcer than usual. KOSE EVIDWCE AGAINST UVaN. In lhs Scales el fats His U!a is Weighing. . That the authorities are deter mined to leave no stone unturned to bring nbotit the conviction of Amanduj Levan, of Aristes, who is charged with the murder of James McAndrews, of Ccntralia, is vcrv evident. Every effort is made to secure clinching evidence, and it is said that some startling facts have re cently been developed that will only be brought to light when the case is tailed lor trial. On Friday District Attorney Duy, Grant Her ring, John G. Harmati, Surveyors James C. Brown and W. H. Eyer, visited Aristes, and the scene of the murder. They made complete surveys and a number of witnesses were examined. As the result of thes investiga tions it is said that the common wealth has considerably strength ened their case, and that when Levan is placed on trial he will find around him a wall of evidence so strong that it will be difficult to rear it down. The coming trial is awaited with great interest by the people at Centralis and Aristes, many of whom will be witnesses in the case. Columbia Countians ia Tho West Some weeks ago Peter K. Shultz and Wilbur Laubnch of Sugarloaf township went to Washington state to try their hands at fortune seek ing. Both are prominent citizens of that township, the former having filled the office ot justice of the peace, and the latter the office of tax collector for some years past. According to a letter from Mr. Laubach published in the Benton Argus last week, they have been having some varied experience. He says : "For example: I bought a ji b of au employment agent along with eventecn other fellows, we worked three nights at grading work on a street car line and the fourth night when we went to work, we were notified that the job had shut down temporarily, and upon investigation we learned that the father had the contract for the grading work and the son was the employment agent and they had been working this game for some time and they hired no one only through the agent. Another example: Mr. Shultz bought a blacksmith job of an em ployment agent paying $2.50 for it and it took him a day, by boat, to reach the place on Nor.h Bay at a place called Allyn, Wash. ,and when he got there the man wanted his team shod and that was all the work he had, so Mr. Shultz had to stav nil night iu thewilderness, where he said he expected to be murdered before morning; and came back the next day being out $6.50 for boat fare aud two days.
