I have an old-fashioned notion that it takes more than a good clerk and more than a hustling vote getter to make a good County Commissioner, and I think my business experience qualifies me for the office. "While I want to be up to date in matters pertaining to the duties of the office, I have no notion of turn ing the world over. I did my share of "reforming" years ago, and the best thing I did was to reform myself . You have probably de cided how you will vote to morrow, but if you have n't,do it now.

The aensational decision in district court today, was the decision of Judge Dana in the case of Barnes against Barnes. On October 3, the sons of the late S. Barnes were suing the widow, their stepmother, for the Insurance money due as the reRult of their father's death. While the case was pending, the two companies involved, to avoid personal contact with the case, had paid their premiums to R. L. Thomas, clerk of the district court, with instruc tions to hold the same until a decision of court was given. The two com panies in which the late Mr. Barnes was insured, one for $3,000 and the oth er for $2,000, made no objection to pay ing, the premiums, and although they were made defendents in the suit, did not apear by attorney, merely wishing to pay the premiums to the stepmother, widow of Barnes. Attorney Robert Stone, for the other heirs, asked the court to withhold decision In the case until the following Monday, as the ver dict was rendered on Saturday, knock ing out two of the three days allowed for the appeal or notice of appeal. On Monday, Stone again appeared and asked for a further extension of time. There was no clear understanding be tween the court and the attorney, and the result was that the case presum ably went by default. The attorneys for the widow demanded the $5,000 from Mr. Thomas, clerk of the court, and he almost gave it up before It oc curred to him to ask the court for In structions. He found that the case was still in contention, and held out. To day, in regular motion docket. Attor ney Stone asked that the judgment for Mrs. Barnes be set aside. The attor neys for both sides argued heatedly. Attorney Z. T. Hazen asserting that the case was closed, and the verdict passed by default. After two hours of heated argument, the court announced that. Instead of setting aside the Judg ment the jurlement would be extended to date . from October 31, giving the attorneys for the heirs a chance to appeal. In the meantime. Judge Dana soundly scored the attorneys in the case for getting mixed to such an ex tent that they had failed to note the day of decision. The $5,000, therefore, still remains In the hands of Clerk of the District Court R. I Thomas. The disturbance closed today with an exception to the rules of the court, taken by Judge Hazen. Therefore the case is still far from appeal. AMUSEMENTS. : At the Grand. A more dainty, sprightly and enter taining soubrette was never seen In To peka than Miss Hattye Fox. who has a role In "The .Geisha" by the Stewart Opera company, that gives her a chance to show her versatility.

His comedy has always been -of a clean cut order and free from horseplay as to merit praise. Eight years with the Henry W.

Grant, who is presiding at the court mar tial now in session at Fort Wayne, In the western suburbs of this city, said to some friends here that the cigar that initiated his father, the late President U. S. Grant, into the tobacco smoking habit really fig ured aulte strongly in the winning of the battle of Fort Donaldson. Speaking of this Incident. General Grant said: "My father was in conference with Ad miral Foote on the latter' flagship and had Just accepted a cigar from the ad miral when word came to him that the left flank of his forces was being re pulsed. Hurrying ashore and galloping on a fleet horse to the battlefield, he suc ceeded In rallying his force so completely that chaos was turned Into victory. Gen eral Buckner had to comply with my father's demand for an unconditional sur render. ' "The newspapers took up the fact that father had rushed from the warship to the battlefield without taking Admiral Foote's cigar from his mouth. The dis patches from the front told how father had come onto the battlefield "cool and collected and peacefully smoking a long black cigar.' "Peoole who read the story began send ing congratulations and presents of cigars. Tens of thousands of clnaTS came and my father smoked many of them. It made a confirmed smoker of him. But he did not smoke as many clears as people Imag ined he did. Sometimes one cigar that he would freauently relight would last him from breakfast to luncheon. It was the fact that he almost constantly held a clarar between his tinners that made peo ole describe him as a (treat smoker. General Grant said that hi father trle to acquire the smoking habit at veBt Point Just because the rules forbade, smokinc His attempts at smoking While he was a cadet, however, made him very sick and when he left West Point he practically gave them up. P"nK,..K Mexican war General Grant Ead nla fatn er took a liklrm to the Mexican cigars and found that they agreed with him but when he returned to the north he again drormed the habit of amoking to resume It after the Fort Donaldson incident.
