The above s-tronig ticket Was named at the Republican County convention, held at the Court House in this city Monday afternoon. The convention was mariked by complete harmony and though spirited contests fwere made for several of the nominations, there was no ill feeling engendered by them. The delegates were thoroughly re- presentative of the Republicans of the county and, as Hon. John F. O'Brien said in his speech of acceptance, the nominations may be accepted as an indication of the wishes of the major- ity of tihe party of this county. The ticket is a strong one and will prove a winning one. It is composed of men who are good Republicans and eminently qualified for the positions for which they have been nominated. A rousing majority for iboth the county and state tickets should be given in Clinton this fall. ORGANIZATION. The convention was called shortly after two o'clock at the Court House by J. W. H.

The Clinton County Agricultural So- ciety have signed contracts with those who are to furnish the attractions for the fair. The list is probably the best one that has ever been secured here. First of all ooones Prof. Bonaette, who well deserve the appellation of king of aeronauts. He will ascend in an aluminum sphere, which will ex- plode in midair, casting out Prof. Bonnette and his parachute. He will also, on otiher days, 'be shot out of a cannon in the air and descend in his parachute. The great entertainers, McPhee and Hill, will be present and give exhibi- tions on the bars and casting acts. Another attraction thiat ought to prove very interesting is Charles Le- Velle and his troupe of trained dogs. There are twelve dogs in the troupe, and the things accomplished by them is little short of marvelous. One dog will do the wire walkktsg act; two others to do the diving; the others are leaping and fast running dogs. Be- sides doing these things they are trained to perform various feats that require a high degree of intelligence, The great Marinellas, European j gymnasts, have been secured at a big price. The Marinellas were here in 1900, and so delighted their audiences that it was decided to secure them again. They are now with tRingling Brothers show. Among their acts are the double triiangfle, Mile.

Mr. Merrihew, who lives a~out two miles north of here, drove in early in the evening and left his horse under tne shed. He returned about ten o'clock and found the horse and wag- on missing. The sheriff was notified and is now looking up the ease. Suspicion falls on a man who has served a term or two in Dannemora prison for theft, and who was seen on the streets that afternoon, but disap- peared about the same time the horse did.

It is roofed over, and in- closed on three sides. The walls are made of the bark of various trees, and of moss. The floor is piartiallly cover- ed with moss and stones, and small evergreen trees and foliage plants abound. The onen side is hung over with vines and flowers. (A stone fountain is located at one end, while at the other a miniature rivulet bounds down in a cataract over a hillsiide made of moss grown rocks and water plants.

An error occurred 1 in the imposition of the five years' sentence of imprison- ment of Dr. H. M. Lincoln last Friday evening. Dr. Lincoln was sentenced to Clinton prison for manslaugbteip and was taken through here on Wed- 1 nesday, from Cald<well, Warren, cdunty. The statute provides that in imposing sentences that they shall be of such a length that, with the commutation for good ibehavior, they shall terminate in the months of April to October inclusive. The sta- tute allows for good behavior a com- mutation of two months for the first and second years, four months each for the third and fourth years, and! five months for each subsequent year. The aggregate allowance in Dr. Lin- coln's case would i>e seventeen months which iwould cause his term to expire January 25, 1906. The .remedy will be for the district attorney to call the attention of the court tw the error, when undoubtedly -the court will set a date for the hold- ing of a special term, and will have the sheriff produce the prfe/aner before him, when he will impose a new sen- tence in accordance with the statute. Several lawyers have stated infor- mally that the new sentence must ne- cessarily be for a lesser term than the anginal sentence. If this ia so, the maximum term of aebual imprisonment. will be three years and four montha On the way to Danneora Sheriff Gill had another attack of the heart trouble with which he has suffered. Dr. Lin- coln treated him, and under his care the sheriff soon rallied and pfroceeded! on his journey.—Glens Falls Star. Held for the Grand Jury. William Clelland of Hemingford, P.
