Tli" Kan sat City Journal in quire- how it happens, if free trade with Porto Ilieo be right, that Petti - grew is in favor of the policy. Secretary (!age has been examin ing into our surplus of revenue, Secretary Carlisle was always occu pied in figuring up his deficiency. Republican gains in Nebraska's local elections are a favorable indi cation of something greater in the same direction in November. Ex-President Cleveland has ex pressed himself in approval of the ilay-Pouncefoto treaty for the neutralization of the Nicaragtian Canal. Disfranchisement in th.* State of North Carolina may save the De mocracy there the incovenience their party has experienced in Ken tuck}'. The United States is now the world's greatest producer and ex porter of meats, which form one of the most important features of our export trade. I'lie lean and hungry appearance of .Jerry Simpson's newspaper indi cates quite plainly that the Kansas farmers are not traveling in Jerry's direction this year. Vrmor plate is likely to again create discussion in Congress on a Democratic minority report. The naval appropriation bill will probably be delayed in consequence. In IS',).") there were 13,/iSS miles of street railway track in the Unit ed States. In I SDN there were 17.- 291 miles. This is another indica tion of our recent progress and prosperity. The Nesbit law is expected to do for Missouri what the Gobel law has done for Kentucky. If it does, then Missouri should be made the terminal point for considerable sympathy. Senator Pettigrew is constantly calling on the different departments for information. Yet Mr. Petti grew has the reputation of being the most thoroughly misinformed man in Washington. The Democrats of the District of Columbia want the Hon. William Sulzer for Vice President. The Democrats of the District of Col umbia are not the least bit extrav agant in their wants. It is but natural for the Demo cratic party to oppose the building up of the American marine. It will be recalled that the Democrat it! party claimed that American tin plate was an impossibility. Does anybody know of a piece of general legislation proposed or promoted by Mr. Bryan? The gentleman from Nebraska served in Congress for two terms and put in his entire time talking for pub lication. The Republican "clean sweeps" in the Mississippi Valley do not in dicate .a revolt because the Repub licans in Congress have not adopted free trade with Porto Rico to suit the Democrats and establish a dangerous precedent. School Entertainment. The annual entertainment, given by the Sterling Run school, was held in Maecabee hall, Thursday and Friday evenings to crowded houses. The program was finely rendered and great credit is due Prin. D. B. Peterson, and Miss Marsh, primary teacher. The quartette composed of Messrs. CSoodall and Olmsted, Mrs. Moore and Miss Nettie Kissell, finely rendered several pleasing selection. The drill, which was splendidly executed by the smaller members of the primary room reflects great credit upon their teacher, Miss Marsh. James Furlong and Clias May in their "Irish" and "negro" parts, respec tively made the "hits" of the evening, both being peculiarly adapted to their parts. Altogether it was one of the finest entertainments given iu years. Sever al out of town visitors were present both evenings. Red Tunc Illustrated. A correspondent passing hurriedly into the room of the committee on riv ers and harbors pulled the knob off the door. "How can I get that fixed, do you think?" asked the congressman. "Shall I get the carpenter or the locksmith?" "The locksmith, I suppose." "No, sir. Were I to send for the lock smith he would tell me to consult the architect of the capitol. lie lias no authority to fix doorknobs. Doorknobs are permanent fixtures and are solely within tlie jurisdiction of the architect of tlie capitol." "I)o you see that bookcase there?" said tii- committee secretary. "I caus ed the carpenter to paste some cloth on flic inside of the doors in order that the books might not show, lie did the work, but when lie had finished I noted that lie had not cleaned the glass before he put the cloth on. The thing looked so disreputable that I asked him why he had not cleaned the jrlass. lie told me that the glass was a permanent fixture and that he had 110 authority to touch it, but that the plac ing of the cloth upon it was a tempo rary matter and was entirely within the province of his labors. The whole thing's got to be done all over again." Washington Cor. Cleveland Plain Dealer. She? Didn't Hay It. The following story will show the high price that illustrators of reputa tion command for their work: A young woman who had received treatment from Dr. S. AVeir Mitchell of Philadel phia and was very fond of him decided, at a recent celebration of his birthday, that a fitting and appropriate gift would be the presentation of one of the original drawings of Mr. Howard Pyle for "Hugh Wynne." Forthwith she in vaded The Century company's sanc tum and, with her fingers tenderly grasping a new $lO note, asked to buy the drawing. She was Informed that these pictures were never sold unless exceptions were made in cases where the artist himself or the author wished to make the purchase. "Just so," said the yonng woman. "I wish to present it to Dr. Mitchell." "All, iu that case," said the gentle man at the desk, "we shall take pleas ure in giving it to you at the exact price we paid for it, which is $100." The little lady in her excitement drop ped the $lO bill. The gentleman at the desk picked it up for her and smiled while she hurriedly took her depar ture. The good doctor was presented with a less appropriate gift that year.— New York Times. Clear niul to tlie Point. The following is taken from a hotel advertisement in the Calcutta Times: "Gentlemen who come in hotel not say anything about their meals they will be charged for, and if they should say beforehand that they are going out to breakfast or dinner, etc., and If they say that they not have anything to eat they will be charged, and if not so they will not be charged, or unless they bring it to the notice of the manager of the place, and should they want to say anything they must order the manager for one, not any one else, and unless they bring not it to the notice of the manager they will he charged for the least things according to the hotel rate, and no fuss will be allowed afterward about it." A Poultry Problem. A Somerville man borrowed a neigh bor's hen on the pretense that he want ed her to sit. As soon as lie got the hen he broke up the sitting habit and got her to laying eggs. In the next six weeks she laid two dozen eggs. These he sold for 40 cents a dozen, and with the SO cents that he got for them he bought the hen. Now the question arises whether the original owner of the hen was fooled or not.—Somerville Journal. A MlNlcndliiK Item. Johnny—Old Mr. Skinflint must be an awful generous man. nis Father—Why?

After 1 a few well aimed remarks by his assistant the gavel sounded and the club was brought to order. John Johnson was called upon, and he said he cut a large tree one day which happened to be hol low and when the tree struck the ground it broke open and twenty-five coons made their escape, and still it wan'nt much of a day for coons. He was fined eight cents but he promised to do better next time. Pap Blodget, who was sent to 1 (rift wood last Thursday night to solict mem bers for our club was called 011 for his re port. He said that on arriving at that busy town he found that the Emporium club had sent a delegation ahead of him, composed of 11. 11. Mullin, 13. W. (las kill, Geo. Metzger and (.'. J. Goodnough. Now to have made this list complete, they should have sent in addition to the above named gentlemen, Win. Dalrymple and Fred Hill, and the town would have been captured. The old man,who was shot at a couple of times with three fingers and no chaser, caught next train for Em porium. After looking around for some time, met "Smike" who ushered him into a side door and tapped a jug of cider, which he called the "pendulum brand.' Pap not being accustomed to this kind of a beverage did not admire the drink very much, and said it reminded him of creek water. Pap's report was accept ed and placed on file. Grundy Logue will tell us a few whop pers as soon as bass season opens, lie told a small one for a starter. Logue said he caught a sucker 11 inches wide between the eyes and weighed thirty pounds. This storj was too much for Tom Snyder and he hit Geo. Shafer a left bander, knocking him over seven beer kegs, and a general fight was started, several members being badly used up. Pap IJlodget especially, being hit with a nut from a ten inch shaft. lieldin inter feared and threw out seven old members; John Johnson, also being slightly wound ed. Hanscoiiie had a hard tussle, but finally restored order. Being no further business the club adjourned. FIDE. Gardeau. Chas. lleidrick has gone to Austin to live.

Jordan, of Huntley, visited friends on the hill Saturday and Sunday of last week. Our school closed last Thursday after a very successful term. Owing to the small room she had to teach in, being unusually small. Nevertheless, Myrta was active and earnest in her work and accomplished good results. Her many friends are sorry to see her go away. TBUTH. W. M. Mayhew, Apr ton, Wis., says, !i I consider One Minute Cough Cure a most wonderful medicine, quick and safe."
