The Commissioners.

The County Commissioners, H.
E. Hayden, John Conrad and John
Innis, are in town this week attend
ing the regular session of the board.
Meade county taxpayers can con-
gratulate themselves on having as
good set of commissioners as can
be found in this state or any other.
Every one of them are men of the
utmost integrity and in no manner
could they be pursuaded to do any
thing otherwise than in the interest
of the taxpayers of Meade county.
H. E. Hayden has been reelected
as commissioner from the 3rd dis
trict for four consecu tive terms,
which bespeaks for him the conf
dence of the people of that district.
John Innis was reelected last
fall for a second term, regardless of
the opposition and threats of defeat
from members of his own party
because he could not be handled by
them. Mr.. Innis regarded his duty
to the people paramount to any
party relation or tie. He said he
preferred defeat, and know he was
right, to election and know he was
doing himself and the people an in
justice.
John Conrad was appointed COM
missioner and afterwards elected,
and is now serving his first full
term. Mr.. Conrad also has made
good record and no doubt will be
renominated and reelected this fall,
as he has the confidence of the
people of this district.
A. w. Calender desires to cal
the attention of the general publ,
to the fact that he can be found a

Built u Midget Bicycle.

Oliver Miller, of South Centre street,
has turned out a midget bicycle that is
certainly wonder. The wheel is being
used by Mr.. Miller's three-yesr-old son,
John Wilson. 1t is built throughout
like a regular wheel, but the frame Is
only fourteen inches high. The wheels,
which are fourteen inches in diameter
are fitted with juvenile tires. Iti geared
to 81. The workmanship was performed
entirely by Mr.. Miller and is similar to
his work on the high-grade wheels built
by him for J. b. Ferry and Peter G.
Gallagher, who are conceded to be the
owners Of the two finest bicycles in this
part of the state. The midget wheel Is
attracting great deal of attention.
