formance at the Capitol.
The feat of riding on safety bicycle
up the steps leading from Pennsylvania
Avenue to the west front of the Capitol
and back again was performed yesterday
by Eugene A. Neidert, member OF the
Cyrene Vaudeville Company. billed here for
next week at Kernan's Lyceum.
Neidert, who is heralded as Americas
champion trick bicyclist, Is an old hand
at this act, having ridden up the steps
OF the custom.house In Philadelphia about
two weeks ago. The feat which he per-
formed yesterday Is much harder than
any other he has ever attempted. aud
was the result of Dare from men,
Der OF the company, who was of the
opinion that It could not be accomplished.
Neidert showed him that 1t could. bycasi-
ly and gracefully mounting flight after
flight of steps yesterday morning about
10 o'clock. until he reached the terrace at
the top. Then, turning around, he desceud-
ed as easily as he had gone up.
When 1t was doubted that he had made
So wonderful ride he tried It again at
o'clock In the afternoon. The appearance
of Capitol policeman frightened him off,
but it was as good as the promised per-
formanoe to the assembled crowd TO see
the speed which he got up indescending the
steps on his way back to the Avenue.
Two washington fancy riders, Rex Smith
and Harry Parks, ,havesuccessfully descend
ed the steps, but no one has ever attempt
ed to ride up them. The performance Is
greeted az marvellous by all local wheel
men who are desirous that the plucky rider
be given another chance to show what he
can do.

ROBERT Weatherford sends in his an
nouncement this week for Circuit Court
Clerk. Mr.. Weatherford is young man
living in the Harmed neighborhood We
do not know the young man, at least we
do not call him to mind at this distance
We presume however that he is a good
young Republican and wants some of
the good things along with the rest of
the boys. We presume, too, that he is
competent and entitled to recognition at
the hands Of his party, We commend
him to the tender mercies of our Repub-
lican friends and hope he may get there
in good shape.

In this issue of the News Sam Pate an
nounces himself candidate for the Office
OF County School superintendent, sub
iect to the action Of the Republican
primary. Mr.. Pate has had an exper-
fence of ten years in teaching, and he
now holds a certificate second only to
one in the county. Wherever he has
taught he hasgiven universal satisfaction
he has an extended acquaintance, and
his friends are legion. He is an afable
gentleman in every respect, and his
qualifications for the position to which
he aspires are beyond question. Ii he is
not the nominee, mark this prediction,
he will make it red hot for the man who
beats him, and this will be one of the
prettiest and most interesting races in
the Republican party. Sam Pate is a
son OF Log. Pate, who has held impor.
tant official positions in the county to
his credit, and is well-known in every
neighborhood.

We announce Judge Ahl as a Candi-
date for reelection to the Office OF Judge
OF Breckenridge county, subject to the
action OF his party. The Judge, so far,
has no opposition before the primary.
This OF itself speaks well for the Judge.
1t means that his party is satisfied with
his conduct Of the office. Tie truth is
he has made very much better officer
than people expected he would make
when he was first elected to the place.
We give him credit for doing the very
best he knew how and if he has made
mistakes it has been an error of the head
and not OF the heart. There have been
worse judges in Breckenridge county
than Judge Ali. II he is the nominee
which is more than probable now, the
Democrats will have to put up a mighty
good man to beat him.
