Goff FOR the Supreme Bench.

A special despatch to the Wheel
ing Intel'3qeacey, from Washington,
D. c., says "The goSsips still look
upon General Golf as a probability
for some important position. Hav-
ing succeeded in drawing from the
General denial that he is likely to
be placed ia the cabinet, local
writer comes back with the follow
ing paragraph "Those who are:best
acquainted with General COTS po-
litical affairs do not believe that he
would accept a cabinet position. At
the same time they do not consider
that the vacant position on the SUI
preme bench is too large for the
General TO FIJI. This suggestion has
only been recently made, but there
is great deal more behind it than
several other booms that have start
ed in the direction of the supreme
court chamber In his contest for
the governorship General Golf has
spent great amount of money from
the starr All the chances were
against him. but he maintained the
struggle in order to keep the Re-
publican organization in the State
in good fighting condition.

BAND CoNoERT-A heavy down
fall of rain on Tuesday last, prevent
ed the band from giving their usual
concert. On Wednesday evening
however, they put in an appearance
and delighted the audience present
by their stirring strain of music.
Luscomb's "Gen. Merritt" the
waltzes, Beautiful Danube" LET
Me Dream Again" and the masquer-
ade, "Twilight,' were rendered in an
excellent manner and met with well
merited applause. We are sorry to
say that this was the last band con-
cert of the season. Large crowds
have gathered during the summer
months, to listen to the music, and
all join with one accord in singing
praises to our City Band. We wish
the band much success and hope
when the warm months roll around
that we may again have the pleasure
of listening to the weekly concert as
of wore.

Low PRICE OF CoRN.-No one
should be surprised at the low price
OF corn. Last years crop was ex-
ceedingly large, and this years,
which is about maturing, will nearly
duplicate it. Under such circum-
stance corn is naturally cheap and
Chicago spectators have, of course
assisted in making the price as low
as possible The Chicago Tribune
thinks at the present prices in that
city the farmer does not realize more
than fifteen cents per bushel and that
the railroads are getting more than
their share out Of the crop. The
farmers remedy is to turn his corn
into beef and pork slow but prof.
table process.
