THE SILVER Guardianship to
the present time something less than
100000 Of the new silver dollars
have been paid ont by the Treasury,
and all in exchange for gold. In the
meantime the Treasury has been
steadily accumulaling them, and by
the first of Nav it is calculated that
there will be 100000 on hand
These the Secretary will put into
circulation as rapidly as possible
His purpose is to pay them out for
silver bullion, and also to exchange
them for the mutilated and defaced
national bank notes sent in monthly,
In this way the whole sS,OOO,OOO will
probably be put into active circula-
ton during next month, and u SINH
lar amount monthly thereafter.

n. +. Yeager.

Editor Register: Seeing the name Of
NJ. F. Yeager announced as a candi.
date for Clerk of the County Court,
| would like to say few words con-
corning him. The more so, as he is a
stranger to most Of the voters of Ma
son county, and the public like to
know the estimation put on man
by those who know him best, the
scripturalsa to the contrary not
withslanding. 1t is a tribute to
manliness, honor, high moral char
acter, strict sobriety,and all that goes
tomake the upright man, and lastly
but not leastly, a fine business capa-
city, that l would ask the attention
of the voters of our county to his
name. Mason has great reason to be
proud of the names of many young
men, now just entering the arena of
life, aud none, (speaking no dispar-
agement to any, will add more to
her honor than Mr.. Yeager. He has
a fine and practical education, inclu-
ding Diploma from the Business
Department" of the College which
he attended, and which think
would prove no small qualification
for the business.
Those who have been brought in
contact with him by business,oroth
means, all speak freely of him in the
highest terms of praise, in regard to
uniformity of conduct, and high
standard of principle.
Mr.. Editor, wish it distinctly
understood that | speak no word Of
detraction against any one of the
other candidates, for no man may do
that, and speak truly. Some of them
have long been tried and true ser,
wants, whom Mason county has hon
ored, and by SO doing has honored
