Every farmer should be r.hy of
the stove men who are all the time
traveliug about the country. They
charge twice as much as their stoves
are worth. Not one farmer out of a
dozen but regrets his purchase, if
he should be wheedled into buying
one of the stoves. The best way is
to buy of men at home who are re
sponsible. The inventor of the cake-walk, a
negro minister named John Morris,
is dying in the hospital at Mt. Ver
non, N. Y. He is upward of 80
years old. lie was employed in his
youth by President Rocsevelt's par
ents, and visited the President at

A member of Congress is paid a
salary of $5000 a year. But that is
not all. He had clerk hire and
mileage, and other things that in
crease his salary, lo illustrate,
take a St. Louis member. His sal
fry is $5000 a year; clerk hire $1200;
stationery $125; mileage $400; four
trips to his home and return to
Washington would cost in fare
about $150. Telegrams and ex
press service$ioo, and postage $100
a year. In all $7000 a year. And
yet toe members ot congress, or
some of tbem, declare that thev
cannot live on their salaries, and
are talking about voting themselves
more pay.
The Wheelmen Minstrel rehears
als are progressing nicely. New

and a thoroughly up to date and en

There is, as is known, abundant
material in the Club, and it will all
b e impressed into service for this
occasion. It is just possible that
the boys will be able t o spring a
surprise on their many friends in a
few days. A letter has been writ
ten to Hughev Dougherty, the cele
brated Minstrel star, and if there is
any way to get him, he will be se
cured. Mr. Dougherty has retired
from the stage, and some of the club
members are of the opinion that the
veteran of minstrelsy will not be ad
verse to appearing in the forthcom

J. C. Rutter Jr., has announced
as a candidate for re-election to the
office of Register and Recorder. In
a card which we published last
week he frankly states that he is
not running because his friends all
over the county are demanding it,
but because he wants the office.
This is sensible. Everybody knows
nowadays that candidates run for
office because they want the money
there is in it, and not merely to
gratify the demands of their friends.
Mr. Rutter has made a very .effici-'

years of age, and was well and fa
vorably known. A wife and two
daughters survive. Interment was
made In the Reformed Cemetery
at Numidia, on Monday.
The name of George W. Sterner
is announced this week as a candi
date for County Commissioner.
Three years ago he was elected to
that office under rather adverse cir
cumstances He received a large
vote at tbe primary election, and
claims that he should have gone on
the regular democratic ticket, but
uuder legal construction of the rule
providing for one commissioner
from the south side, Mr. Sterner
was thrown off the ticket, it appear
ing that he had the minority vote
by a very few. The result was
that Mr. Sterner's friends put forth
their efforts and he was elected, de
feating the republican candidate.
He has been a member of the exec
utive committee of the State associa
tion of Countv Commissioners for
the past three years. As a commis
sioner he has performed his duties
faithfully and conscientiously and if
be has made mistakes they have not
been intentional ones. H e asks
now the usual favor of a second term.
