The way stockers and feeders are going
to the country from this market, the sup
ply on sale hero next year will be fully as
large as this. II not larger. There were
sent to the country last week no less than
zo5 cars Of stockers and feeders. or from
10000 to 1000 head. Most of these cattle
will come back to Kansas City after they
have been fattened. So the growth in the
cattle trade here. while surprising Of late.
is healthy. and the future Is full Of prom
ise.
Superintendent Rust Is back from q two
weeks trip out in Wyoming. He says stock
cattle are SO high out there that but few
are being sent to market this year, but
are being held for the ranch trade. Kan
sas City Is being much talked about. What
shipments that have been made on tho
market here from that country have been
satisfactory, and q steady growth in the
trade from there in the future may bo
confidently expected.
Some Of the best cornfed Texas steers

averaging 1,38S pounds and Were sold by

The Democratic State Executive
Committee is to be complimented on
the wisdom it displayed i'm ITS choice
of the place of meeting for next Dem
ocratic state Convention.
As will be seen from our dispatches
the baUotiug was lively. but Wheeling
won without much trouble. thanks to
the splendid exertons of her friends
ON and Oft of the committee. to whom
we take off our hats.
The choice was a wise ous for many
reasons. Wheeling lis more accessible
to- every section of the State than any
other town i'm it. It's facilities for
holding tho convention are greater than
those of any other town. The accom-
modauous for the comfort and enter
taiument Of the delegates are more nu-
me-ous and better than those of any
other town. And last, but not least.
Wheeling is famous for its open-armed
hospitality. and nowhere are visitors
given a better time.
So. congratulations are i'm order al
around.

Special to the Register.
Enenboro, w. Va, February 25.-
Yesterday the members of the Richie
County Republican Executive Com
mittee met at Harrisville, and pro-
ceeded to lay down the rules and regu-
lations for the conduct of this years
campaign. make assessments and fix
time for holding the convention. June
10 was selected as convention day, and
# will be a mass affair of high proper
tiOns. as county convention day is con-
Sidered a gala one to the average
Richie county citizen who has a horse
to trade or desires 10 blow off his
"bazOo" for a favorite who has prob
ably promised him a school trusteeship
in Murphy district The sheriffalty
and county clerkship are the two richest
plums to be given out this fall, and it
seems as if every other Republican in
the county would like to serve the peo-
pie of Richie in either capacity. For
the sheriffalty those announced and
prominently mentioned are: J. NJ.
Brown, D. 3. Patton, Mark BrOadwater,
". S. Hamilton. Z. c. Golf. H. r. Nc
Gregor. J. w. Boehm. John Starr. Rich
ard Hall, BENZ. McGinness and Samuel
Hatfield. and half a dozen more to
hear from.
For the county clerkship the present
incumbent. George w. Amos. who has
~ If
fury. is probably the most formidable
candidate. but Editor julie Sigler,
Deputy Sheriff w. r. Meserve, and 7.
NJ. Barrie think they should have the
fat berth
For Circuit Clerk. the present in
cumbent. j. II. Lininger, and J. o..
Lynch seem to have full control of the
field. For the other Offices candidates
are legion. Then Ritchies two favor
ite sons. Hon. p. W. Morris and Col.
Romeo n. Freer. have boOmlets for
gubernatorial and judicial honOrs re-
spectively.
The Executive Committee levied stiff
assessments. and if this does not strike
candidates too deeply in the region Of
pocketbook. the political treasury will
be we'll supplied with campaign funds.
Since each of the Harrisville papers
has devoted almost an entire issue to
the Court House removal question, and
Editor Morris has literally chewed up
PennsborO's journalists and circular
writer's. there seems to be a subsistence
of interest in the matter, but fresh
outbreak is looked for.
Judge T. p Jacobs is conducting an
important term of court at Harrisville,
and an accumulation of criminal cases
are being rapidly disposed of. The al
legged barn burners from the upper end
of the county have been tried and ac-
quilted. as was young Cain. who. is was
charged. used the knife so viciously
on his cousin at Rutherford. Walter
Flanagan. of Toll Gate, has been found
guilty of unlawful cutting. Murderer
Frank Cross is still confined in the Jail.
having been granted a writ of error by
the Supreme Court. and the argument
will be heard by that august body in
June. Cross is under a life sentence.

The New York City Board of Alder
men is chewing over a proposition to
require AN bicycles ridden within the
city limits to have brakes. Already in
the large cities the bicycle problem has
become one of Importance in the man
agement of street traffic. The courts
have placed the bicycle in the same
class with other vehicles. The bicy-
clist has the right to his share of the
road. and he can insist on having a
loaded truck turn out for him if he is
on the right side So far the regUla-
tons and ordinances have been in the
line of increasing bicyclers' rights and
privileges.
