Messrs. Faw & Rogers. our enterprls-
ing grocers, have just put in a National
| Register, at cost of $500, that is the
prettiest piece of nickel-plated ma
chinery that we ever saw in the way of
a register, showing nine results. As
soon as key or keys are pressed, the
| indicator showing amount of sale is
dropped the indicators appear, show
ing the new sale; the cash drawer is
unlocked spring throws it open a
| bell is wrung to show that registra-
| ton has been made; check is printed,
| giving the consecutive number of the
sale, the date, the proprietors' business
card and the amount; this check is
! thrown out into receiver; the trans
action is printed in detail upon strip
of paper under the hood on the inside,
and the amount is added to that pre-
viously showing by the adding wheels.
1t is a mechanical wonder, and will in
terest any one. When $1,000 worth Of
| purchases are returned, as cards given
out indicate, 80 cents worth of goods
are given free.

/; The revenue stamp tax went into ef-
feet last Friday. Every legal paper,
bank check, draft, promisory note, land
deed must bear stamp. A deed to
real estate for which the consideration
exceeds 800 and does not exceed $500
must bear so cent stamp, and a
similar stamp for each additional $500.
Each promisory note for more than
800 must bear so cent stamp, and
without these stamps renders the deed
or note invalid. An intent to evade
the law is made punishable by fine or
imprisonment or both.
Senator A. S. Clay delivered an able
speech in the Senate last week against
| the policy of territorial acquisition.
1 1t was resolution to annex Hawaii,
and the points he made against annex
alton were strong, logical and incon-
trovertible. His position is one that
will meet the approval of the sober
sense of the people. Senator Clay is
meeting the expectations of the peo-
! pie in a careful and faithful manner.
