Prehistoric Skating.

As is well known, the art Of skating Is
prehistoric one. In many parts Of Ea-
rope bones of domesticated animals have
been found which had been used as skates
or as runners of small sledges. 1t is Of
considerable interest to learn that similar
implements are found still in use in sew
eral parts Of northern Germany. In The
Journal of the Berlin chronological So

In reply to a REPUBLIC editorial the
points Of which do not need repeating, the
Bellefontaine Republican says:
The Springfield REPUBLIC takes excep-
ton to our statement that there will be no
crop OF congressional candidates In this
district, and that General Kennedy will
have no opposition. And the RE-
PUBLIC proceeds to name sever
L Clark county gentleman who
would make good congressman.
We hadn't thought of that. We only
thought Of the time-honored custom Of
giving congressman second term, who
had not forfeited this by bad record.
General Kennedy made successful canvass
against great Odds-against tremendous
opposition that was not of his own making
and won where almost any OF the candi-
didates who competed with him would have
been beaten. And having made success
full fight and won, and having good record.
the people Of this district will give him the
honor of a second term without . doubt,
however anxious politicians may begrudge
him what he deserves.
