Mr.. Geo. w. Jones, of Mound CITY.
Assistant State Superintendent of
Public instruction, was i'm town be-
tween trains and made the REGISTER
a pleasant call. Mr.. Jones is q candi-
date for the Office Of which he is now
assistant, and is warmly supported by
many who are best acquainted with
him. If nominated and elected he
would bring to the Office seventeen
years of educational experience, and
would doubtless make a capable and
energetic officer.
Whenever you buy an article, from
made in your own town, or whenever
merchants have on their shelves for
sale, you are assisting just that much
in making business dull and times
hard and taxes high at home. Did
you ever think of that? Suppose you
do pay trifle more for the home ar
ticle, the money remains in the COM
it is put in circulation and the
chances are that some of it will come
back to you. Think of these things.

The most distinguished accession to {
the Repub lican Club at its last meet.
ing was our esteemed friend, Jesse
Shinn, the Court reporter, who at
.ached his graceful signature to the
Constitution and Bylaws and was q
introduced to the Club as young man 9
Of character and intelligence who had
acted with the democratic
party, but, seeing the error of his way,
had turned aside and entered the
straight and narrow path Of republic
,anism. Brother Shinn was warmly t
to the ranks of the grand 1
lid party. p. S. It might be added
hat Mr.. Shinn signed the roll under
he impression that the object of
he meeting was to present a testi- t
nOnial to Judge Stiilwell. and when q
he discovered the innocent little joke
he ''set 'em up" to the boys in fine
style.
Last Friday evening Just "a the
of the A. O. u. w. were be- I
ginning to Assem- BILE, one of the lamps :,

With loud report, setting fire to the
