We learn that our old friend, Jockey
Mathes was married In Missouri about
two week ago. We have not learned
the name of the happy bride, but as to
Jockey, we know that he is an eXem-
plary young man and in every way
worthy of the best feminine product
of Kansas or Missouri.
Shaw items are not complete with
out the notice of wedding or two.
Last Sunday, Mr. Sam Hudson and
Miss Ada Piatt joined hearts and
hands at the home Of the brides aunt,
Miss Lottie Miller, about two miles
north of here. Rev. Saunders, Of ,Er-
ie, performed the ceremony. A.large
number of friends and neighbors were
present, and all partook Of the boun-
teous repast prepared for the event,
Both of the directly interested par
ties are highly respected and very
popular in this vicinity.
The good old song of strength and beauty
Combined as one for every duty.
Peace, Joy, good luck be with them ever
While on life boat they sail together
ron account of the late arrival OF
of the Shaw items, a number Oh them
have been ommitted. They will appear
next week. Our itemizers will kindly
get their items in on Monday or Tues
day at farthest. -EDIToR.

There are hundreds OF colored voters

coghizant OF the patent fact that the
votes Of these ignorant darkies are
necessary to land them even within

various unlawful schemes to offset the

several weeks negro school was in
operation, its purpose being to incul.

alphabet as would rebound 70 the
good Of the lily-white machine ticket,
namely "R f. p" The school system
was unavailing, however, and was
finally abandoned for fraudulent
tactics. In Hagrant violation Of the
election law the machine has caused
to be printed and circulated in
local Africa from forms OF the
official ballot and order Of arrange

are behind this rank scheme. Another
matter which should receive close at

registration. No one can lawfully
vote unless he has previously regis

PATENT
The Vast Majority of Those Sent to Wash
ington Are Rejected.

The Vast Majority of Those Sent to wash
ington Are Rejected.
The applications for patents filed av-
erage about l25 a day. There are 80
principal examiners, with perhaps 200
assistants. Every examiner and every
assistant examiner has his own special
ty. Let us take the case. say, Of q poor
inventor living in Oregon. He makes a
valuable invention and desires to OBJ
tain a patent. He sends his application
with $50 to the commissioner of pat
ents. 1t is referred to the examiner hav-
ing charge Of that peculiar class Of in
ventions. 1t is his duty to reject it if
anything can be found on which to base
a rejection. Nearly 600, 900 patents
have been granted in the United States,
and probably more than 1000, 600 in
the rest Of the world. If any of these
anticipate the invention, the examiner
must reject the application. 1t is not
necessary that exactly the same thing
should have existed before, for if any
thing substantially similar can be found
the applicant must 60 to the wall. But,
more than this, if anything similar has
been described in any printed publica-
tion, in any language, anywhere in the
world, or If without being patented or
described in print it has been used any
where in the United States. the exam
liner should reject.
The rub comes all the time upon the
degree Of similarity which will consti-
tute an anticipation Of the invention.
A tremendous responsibility. it will be
seen, is thus thrown upon the examiner.
He wants to be safe. It Is both his
pride and his duty not to allow q patent
