Terms Expire.

Under change in the law regu-
lating the commencement of the
terms of county officers, three vacan-
cies will occur next Monday morning.
The positions to be filled are those
now held by Commissioner Burr, Re-
corder Hanna and Surveyor Hudson.
The Surveyor and Recorder will be
appointed by the Board of Commits
sioners, while the Commissioner will
be appointed by the Auditor, Pro-
bate Judge and Recorder. 1t is to
be supposed, taking all precedents
for guide, that the present incum-
bents will be appointed to fill the ex-
ira eight months in their respective
official positions, still, as the old adj
age runs, ''There's many a slip
'twixt the cup and the lip it may
not be so.

Jim Ashley Bobs Up Serenely.

Hon. James M. Ashley of Ohio, once
known among his familiars as Jim
Ashley, has such advanced idea in
politics that it is difficult for him to
sympathize longer with the present
parties. He wants the Office of vice
president abolished, and the president
and senators elected directly by pop
ular vote without the intervention Of
electoral college or Legislature, and
finally, he wishes to see the minority
party in every state represented in
congress To this end he would
adopt proportional representation.
The reforms Mr.. Ashley desires in
augurated are set forth in some pro-
posed amendments to the United
States constitution, which are given
in a paper in The Arena;
We demand such an amendment of
the national constitution as shall Sc
cure to each duly qualified voter in
the United States the right to cast
one ballot direct for the nomination
and for the election of president of
the United States, and the person so
elected shall be ineligible for re-elec-
ton.
We demand that the Office of vice
president be abolished.
We demand a modification of the
vote power as now conferred by the
constitution on the president.
This modification shall authorize
him to return with his objections to
the house in which it originated any
bill or resolution passed by congress.
But if, after its reconsideration, it
shall again be passed by q majority
of all the members in each house (to
which the senate and house is enti-
tled) it shall become q law, the presi-
dents objections to the contrary not
withstanding.
We demand modification of the
presidents power of appointment to
civil office, and that said appointees
shall not be removed without cause.
We demand that the constitution
be so amended that United States
senators shall be nominated and cleo
ted by ballot by direct vote of the
duly qualified electors in each state.
We demand that representatives in
congress shall be nominated and cleo
ted by direct ballot in all states hay
ing two or more members in such
manner as shall secure proportional
representation to the duly qualified
voters in such states.

Marriage Anniversary.

= Christmas being the 4eth anniver-
sary of the marriage Mr.. and Mrs.
Caleb Wheeler, Sr., of Harrison Tp.,
they, as has been their custom for
many years, invited their children
and other relatives to visit them on
that day. By 10 o'clock the child
ren, grand children, great grand
children and sothers had arrived and
the parlor door was thrown open,
and large and small gathered in the
room to see a christmas tree and
Old Santa well laden with gifts for
all. He was greeted with cheers and
laughter by the older ones, but with
fear and trembling by the little tots.
After which a bountiful dinner was
served followed by base ball by the
gentlemen, who played until they
declared they would not play anoth-
er game again for a year.
The following day, being the 18th
birthday of Miss Della Zook, d grand
daughter who lives with them, they
managed to completely surprise her
by inviting a large number of her
young friends to spend the evening
with them. A good time was had by

More Big Corn.

EDITOR NORTHWEST Some of the
farmers in this vicinity, having good
corn, thought they could beat the
competitors of West Hope on 10 ears

of last week, the best being s lbs. of
shelled corn and 2 lbs. and / OF. of
cob. The following is the result of
their attempt to excel: Peter Ora

Coming!

Manager Halter has succeeded in
booking that queen of condolences,
Miss Minerva Dorr, who is supported
by the talented actor Mr.. Frank Nor
cross for the evening of Jan. 9th.
They will appear in that goddess of
comedies, ''Niobe. The Philadel-
phia Record says of these actors:
Laughter, pure, spontaneous laugh
ter, in peals, in shouts, in apopletic
gurgles and in every other conceiy-
able form, threatened to completely
drown the performance Of "Niobe''
at Forepaughs Theatre yesterday
afternoon. This best of farces, by
the Paultons, was produced by a
strong company of comedians, head
ed by Minerva Dorr and Frank Nor
cross, and one could scarcely wish
for more pleasing or a NOSE artis-
tic performance, The trials of Peter
Amos Dunn in attempting to conceal
from his wife and her innumerable
relatives the identity of the statue
which comes to life were portrayed
by Mr.. Norcross in an inimitable
manner. He captured the house
from the start and carried it with
him throughout the three acts, with
their absurd situations and clever
| lines.
Miss Dorr was a stately and pictur-
esque Niobe, and contributed, with
her quiet commingling of dignity and
humor, an excellent foil to the more
explosive comedy of Mr.. Norcross.
Miss Lillian Dix as Helen, the spin
ster sister-in-law of the unfortunate
Dunn, was excellent, while Miss Ber-
nice Norcross as the madcap Hattie
proved herself to be not only a decid-
edly pretty girl, but a charming little
| actress as well
