Our attention has been called to an ar
ticle in an exchange, signed with fic-
titious name, claiming that the appoint
ment by the Governor of county
judge to fill vacancy is unconstitu-
tional. Now, an anonymous article in
newspaper, whoever its author, counts
for nothing except the argument that is
in 1t, which in this instance seems to be
very little. The writer quotes Section
4, Article VI of the State Constitution;
but this article says nothing at all of
county judge, and it is only by the most
far-fetohed implication that it can be
inferred to affect that office. Section 9,
Article XIII, is also quoted but itrefers
to the original election or appointment
of county officers, and not to vacancies.
The only provision of the Constitution
applicable to this case is Section IA, Ar
ticle VII, which creates the Office of
probate judge Saying nothing about
vacancies in that office) and provides
that the legislature may abolish that
office and create an inferior court with
probate powers. Under this power
granted by the Constitution the legisla-
ture did abolish the Office of probate
judge and created that of county Judge,
providing Gin Section 2441 r. s. the
manner of his election and of filling a
vacancy in this office, which is by APP
| pointment of the Governor. This ques.
ton has been bought up before. as the
Governor has, in the last six months.
appointed five county judges to fill va
cancies. The question of tho constitu
tionality of this method of filling vacan
cies in that office was referred to the
Attorney General, who gave an opinion
that such appointment is constitutional

About so per cent of the war claims
examined by the House committees are
found to be fraudulent; but instead OF
stamping them as fraudulent and kill
ing them off, they are sent by the bag
full back to the quartermaster's depart

next session of Congress, and are
dumped again into the committee room.
to be again inspected. This is not bus
mess; it is criminal kind of trifling,
which ought to be stopped by taking
the whole subject of war claims out of
Congress into the courts.

A young man employed in excavat-

the other once, also breaking his collar

yet he is in a fair way of recovery. He

A family by the name of Sieppell,

uncooked sausage made from the meat
of one of his hogs which had not been
doing well. The family. some six or
seven in number, were taken sick and
two of them haye died. On examining
the meat it was found to contain thous-

doctors say that in all probability it
will be the death of the whole family.

Sunday morning at 3 p. M, the build

eral merchants, was discovered to be on
fire, in fact was a mass of flames when
discovered. The effort of the firemen
to confne the fire to one building was
without avail and it was only short
time before the upper story of the three
story brick building known as the Nc
Spaden building was in flames. This
story was occupied by the different
bodies of the Masonic lodges. The
second was occupied by the McDermott
post and the lower floor was used for
the post-office. The fire had made so
much Roadway when discovered that
nothing could be saved in the post
Office. We did not not notice Eli and
presume he was resting in the arms of
Morpheus. All the property was well

the work of an incendiary. Boscobel

four hours of hard work, the lower end
of Main Street must surely have burned.

The tobacco in this part was a very

PRESERVING EGGs.-Some time ago
the HERALD made mention of the fact
that Mrs. Christiana Andrews, the
wide-awake proprietor of the Hurricane
store, was the possessor of recipe for
preserving eggs, by which they can be
kept fresh the year around at nominal
cost. Since then she has had so many
applications for recipes that she has
decided to devote the greater part of
her time to disposing of them. She
leaves this week for business trip
throughout the Northwest in the inter-
est of the discovery. 1t is unquestion-
ably the best thing of the kind ever Of
fered to the public and those who have
given it thorough trial speak of it in
the highest terms. To attest their con-
fidence in the recipe, several neighbors
have given Mrs. Andrews paper
signed by such men as Louis Gelsbach,
A. G.. Bonham, John Pink and John
Duncan. who are among the most re-
liable men in the county. Their in
dorsement is certified before Mr.. David
Schreiner, Notary Public, of this city,
who also adds his testimony that the
recipe is all she claims. Mrs. Andrews
has been q resident of Grant County
for many years. She was once en-
gagged in business in the southern part
of the county and has managed the
Hurricane store and post-oflice for a
number of years. She has always en-
ioyed the confidence and respect of the
community and had the best of credit
aud business standing. On this point
she had the Endorsement of such men
as the late l.. S. Felt, of Galena, with
whom she had extensive dealings. The
recipe is one that every merchant
should, have as tits the simplest and
least expensive way known of preserv.
ing eggs. Mrs. Andrews has received
the market price of fresh eggs for al
the preserved eggs she has sold, anc
they have been found invariably in
good condition. The HERALD wishe:
the enterprising lady all the success
| that the excellence of the recipe and
her energetic efforts deserve.

The casualties in the fight between
the sheriff's officers and the strikers at
Fort Worth, Tex, on Saturday, when
the former undertook to run out a
freight train, were one officer killed and
two MORALLY wounded. and one of the
strikers wounded. The belligerent strik-
ers, who were armed with Winchester
rifles, fired the first shots. The officers
were armed with revolvers only, and
were therefore at a disadvantage. State
troops have been ordered to the scene
to preserve the peace.

Students can not be too deeply or too
frequently impressed with the thought
that wasted time can not be regained,
and that the opportunities enjoyed in
school life will not long be continued.
Much, indeed, is learned after leaving
school; but it is a common fact that
the subjects that are neglected aud un-
mastered when met in assigned lessons
remain source of weakness and dis
advantage throughout life. There is
comparatively little hope of q young
person amounting to much who does
not acquire at school the habit of dill
gence and an overriding appreciation
of the value of time and knowledge.
