Harter Wlthdraws.

Or. Y. c. Harter OF Bloomsbury
is out of the fight for the Register
and Recordership, and the contest
is now five cornered affair between
Frank w. Miller of Centralia, Geo.
B. Clemens of Berwick, and A. N.
Yost, Thornton Freeze and John c..
Rutter Jr., the present incumbent.
DR.. Harter withdraws from the
fight because OF inn raired health,
and the consequent inability to
make an active canvass. He re-
alizes the futility of continuing in
the struggle when one is compelled
to direct campaign without per-
sonal interviews, and for this reason
he has decided to drop cut.
Meanwhile the fight is going
merrily on, each candidate apparent
ly confident that he will receive the
greatest share OF popular approval.
Every nook aud corner of the county
is being covered in the hunt for
votes, and the interest in the fight
increases as time wears on. THEFT q
is considerable talk but it is mt of the
sort that furnishes basis for one
to estimate the strength of the
different candidates. and to pick the
winner at this stage of the game is
to our mind simply out of the
question.

"The Sign Of the Cross" at

Danville Thursday evening The
play was probably one of the best
that has ever come Danville's way.
The entire company was first class,
and tie leading man, Walter Law
who adorned the character of
Marcus Superbus, Prefect OF Rome,
was an actor of the first water.
Every scene in which he partici.
pated was enacted with true artistic
skill. Unfortunately the audience
was small there being scarcely more
than a handful Of people present.
In town when we have a good
show and poor patronage, we al
ways attribute it to the Opera
House, and the known inability tc
stage a big production properly.
But in Danville, it is different.
The theatre there is one of the fin
est in this section, and why the
people OF that city should let ar
attraction of the magnitude and
beauty Of "The Sign of the Cross, y
pass by unnoticed is unusual and
quite strange.

Travis the sum of $130, 900, knowing that, after such service, he will have had enough experience of the world and disciplinary training to insure the proper disposal of what has taken me a lifetime to accumulated" .#ty }.
 Such are the terms of the will of the late S. Houston, wealthy man of Chi cago, made to his nephew, George O. Travis, a telegraph operator of Okla homa. The other day the young man became of age and appeared at the Unit ed States army recruiting office and en- listed for the purpose of carrying out the dying request of his uncle.
 MT. Houston was an old soldier, hav- ing served in the civil war in the Fourth United States artillery. Unable to con- tinue an army career, Houston, having no sons of his own, was determined that his next of kin, his nephew, should be- come soldier.
 Young Travis said it was not neces- sary for his uncle to make that clause in his will which makes service in the United States army compulsory for him, as he had always intended to enter the army as soon as he was 21.

William c. Harris, angling ed itor of Outing, and rightly called the Izaak Walton of America, is . man who can come pretty near to telling exactly what fish you will find in Blank brook, in Blank township of Blank county, Idaho, Texas or Rhode Island. New fish e and new facts about them, he loves as miser loves gold, only he does not hoard them, but gath ers them to give out again.
 One day Harris chanced to be in St. Paul. He was talking with General Passenger Agent Charley Fee, who said Harris should 90 ts Montana to catch grayling in | stream at that time much adver' tised.
 Harris said there were no gray. hng in the stream. The railroad man laughed at him as Q New Yorker who pretended to know more about a certain Montana river than man who had fished it.
 The dispute waxed warm. liar ris was due in New York on . certain day, and by taking the first train west he could have six hours on the stream and still keep his en- Ragement. In 36 hours he was on the stream with a local represen' tative of the railroad. He waded In, made one cast, and was fast to . silvery thing that tore about nightly like that ofa graylins. It came to the net, and the local representative of the railroad fairly shouted:
 'There, there; it's grayling:!
 "Pack this carefully in moss" said Harris. "Send it to your gen. eral passenger agent" Then hs walked to the telegraph office and wired that official:
 "Am sending one of your gray ling. It's an internal old river whitefsh."
 Then he took the train for New York and kept his engagement

A MAN AND HIS SHOES
The Thicker the Solss He Wears tn Larger the City from Which
 He Halls.

"You can almost tell from what country a man comes by tho weight of his shoes," said J. w. Davy, of Chicago, who represents | shoe company, to Milwaukee Sentinel reporter. "You might not believe it," he continued, "but the thicker the soles of his shoea the larger the city from which he comes. In New York it Is almost a fad, and the soles of the shoes there are exceedingly heavy. They are almost as heavy in Chica 20. Men there wear shoes to pro tect their feet. They have not time enough, it seems, to bothe, with rubbers. So they make one pair of shoes do the work for all kinds of weather. Here in Mil. waukee and in other cities of this size, notice, the men wear hsat shoes and rubbers. suppose they have time enough to wear the overshoes. Upin the country l nnd that in many places leather boots are not worn at all for sN~ eral of the winter months. They wear heavy socks and then put rubber overshoes over these."
