How far can cat jump without
hurting itself was partly exemplifed
in Brooklyn the other night. A pretty
white cat ran up tree to get away
from a dog and at last crawled out on
a small branch at least 60 feet above
the ground. The branch was not much
more than a twig, and the cat could
not turn around. She sat up there
on the swaying limb and meowed. At
last the twig broke, and down came
the cat. She alighted on the ground
on her feet, looked around for a mo-
ment and then bounded away; which
shows that 60 foot drop does not hurt
a Brooklyn cat, whatever it might do
to cats of other places.-Pittsburg Dis

JUDGE SMITH.

Judge Walter I. Smith yesterday an
nounced his candidacy for the repub-
lican nomination for congressman to
succeed Smith Mcpherson. The an
nouncement was not made with any
great flourish of trumpets, but Judge
Smith merly stated to a number of his
friends that he was candidate for the
position. Council Bluffs Nonpariel.
Beginning at home, we have Hon. Fl.
w. Byers, whose candidacy was an.
nounced through the Des Moines Cap
ital of Monday evening. He is in til e
race in earnest and will try to secur e
the nomination. Quite a respectable
number of the citizens of the county
are favorable to Hon. N. w. Macy for
congress. He is not an announced
candidate in any sense, being up for
denomination as judge. And yet he
has many friends at home and through
out the district who would like to see
him sent to congress. Shelby County
Republican.
We learn on excellent authority that
Judge Macy is not candidate and will
not be. He has the material in him to
have become a strong statesman if his
fortunes had thrown him into congress
instead of on the bench. AS it is he is
an honor to his profession.
Some of the other counties of the
district have been referring to Audu-
bon as the only county that has no
candidate. Why they should assume
that this county would have no candi-
date, or that it has no congressional
timber, we do not know. There has
been considerable talk the past week
that Theo. F. Myers might be candi-
date. We understand Mr.. Myers is
not asking for support but many of his
friends knowing his ability and capac-
ity for public business think seriously
of bringing him out. He would be q
good congressman.

The Observer is authorized to an
nounce that Hon. A. l.. Hager, of
Greenfield, will be candidate before
the congressional convention to be
called to nominate q candidate to sue
ceed Hon. Smith Mcpherson as rep
resentative from the Ninth district.
Mr.. Hager needs no introduction or
words of commentator from us, as he
is well known as the former represen-
tative for three successive terms, dur
ing which he gave general satisfaction
as true and able representative, loyal
and ever watchful of the interests of
his constituents in every county. 1t is
no eXaggeration to say that we never had
n representative who was held in high
er esteem by the people than Ir.
Hager and that he was strong in their
regard and confidence. Neither can it
he successfully contradicted that by
reason of his six years of experience he
can do more efficient work for the dis
trict than any new man. 1t will also
be remembered that upon the stump
he is one of the strongest and most
effective advocate in the state, winning
VoteS Dy his eloQuence ana logic. Inc
Ninth has long heen fighting ground
and by the fortunes of politics alone
Mr., Hager was defeated for the nomi-
nation two years ago, but it is assured
by voluntary offers of assistance that
he will have hearty support i'll his can
didacy for the Mcpherson succession
when the convention is called The
Observer heartily wishes him personal
and political success and sincerely
hopes that the honor of being the home
of the Ninth district congressman may
be returned to Adair county.-Fonta-
