Political.

1.-The. David E. Dick Republican
Club was organized by about II
doubtful republicans, hopeless free
silverltes and, funny democrats IN
Mays dining room Tuesday evening,
with the following officers:
Presdent-W. E. Noel.
.Secreta,y-J. a. Saurbaugh
TTcasuirr-J. II. Johnson.
1d"iso'y Board-J. T. Johnson, Frank
Stephenson, John Crosby, Albert Burton,
Noah Skidmore and R. T Noel.
The ostenslble purpose of the club
is to sustain Mr.. Dick IN his efforts to
give the farmers at the primaries of
Accident and Flintstone the liberty to
choose an inspector of mines, and to
promote other similar measures.
By rising vote W. f. Noel, was
endorsed for postmaster.
This is said to be the most har-
monious political meeting ever held in
Frostburg. Indeed, an old Welshmap
speaking of it in transatlantic ver-
nacular, said
Pawb YIN gytun neb yn TYNE ngroes.

Opera House Wednesday evening,
next. OF a recent appearance in Yves

says
very appreciative audience greeted Texas
Harry's Fun Makers at the Opera House last
Friday night, and was one of the best enter
tainments we have witnessed in our city.
The Horlacher children, aged and years
respectively, were the principal feature of the
show, and are really the most wonderful
contortionists and hand balancers we have
seen Texas Harry i'll his magic art and
hypnotsm, proved himself a man of mystery
and a thorough exponent Of mesmerism.
The company deserved much larger house
than they had. By special request the
company again played in the Opera House
Tuesday night, and had good house.

A PHENOMENAL MEMORY.

Shoemaker Shaw, of Dixon. is pos
sessed of phenomenal memory. 1t Is
at once phenomenally good and phen-
omenally bad. In the first place when
he measures n customers foot for a
pair of shoes he never puts down a
figure Of all the numerous measure
ments but has them for all time. 1t
is never necessary for him to measure
that foot again, Years afterward he
will recall them on an order and viii
make perfect ut.
That is the only thing Mr.. Shaw
can remember. A short time ago he
was standing at the depot in Dixon
taking to friend The passenger
train pulled out for San Francisco and
still he talked away. Suddenly he ex-
claimed: --
by George I'm going somewhere
IN that train. Where the dickens was
going?"
He felt In his pockets and found a
ticket to Suisun
Now, what was / going to suisun
for"
Again Mr.. Shaw searched his pockets
and read all the letters he found, final
ly he came to a subpoena.
That's it, ! was subpoenaed as
witness
He had to hire a team to get to
.Sulsun in time San Francisco Post.

Madison. Aug. Il.

Speaker Buskstatf, in referring to
the adjourned session of the legisla-
ture which conyenes at 2 o'clock this
afternoon, said last night that under
the Joint resolution adopted he would
not allow the consideration of any
new business and would rule that
some of the most important features
of the revision committees report con
stitute new business. In other words
Speaker Buskstaff considers that a
lust ana IaIr Interpretation of the
Joint resolution under which this ad
l0urned session is held will not admit
of the consideration OF much import
ant matter that is included in
the report OF the committee
which has been a. work since
the adjournment of last winter
.ession in revising the statutes of that
session The committee, it seems, has
taken d very liberal view of its duties
and conducted its work of revision on
a broad basis. AS a result many of
the lengthy statutes have been much
reduced in size, but in all cases the pur-
pose or intent of them have of course
not been modified. The committee,
toweyer, will recommend several
amendments which by many mem bers
ot the legislature, including Mr.. Buck
staff are considered new business.
Mr.. Buckstaff says, for instance, that
he considersS new business the amend
ment increasing the fee for filing arti-
cles of incorporation, which was urged
by the governor and which, if it goes
through, is relied upon to increase the
states revenue from this source from
So 900 at least to 100000. Mr.. Buck
staff says that he approves of such a
change but if it is contained in the
committees report he will be con-
strained to look upon it as new bus
mess and entirely foreign to the work
Intended for the committee. If these
amendments are to be considered then
there is nothing to prevent the con-
sideratiOn of any new business put in
the gulse of an amendment to the re-
port.
