Professor Draper is now in the city and all the preliminary arrangements will • be completed for commencing these absolutely free gas ■ stove demonstrations today. He will demonstrate how to use a gas range, and those who attend will also learn many ■ things NOT TO DO which will prove very interesting and fully as valuable as what to do. Professor Draper m claims that there is more food wasted in the baking than there is in the making. He explains how to bake and cook on a gas range and how NOT to cook on a gas range. He also explains and demonstrates how very econo ‘ ’ mi cal NATURAL GAS RANGES are when properly used, and how to get the best results with the smallest ■ amount of gas. This Company has secured Professor Draper’s services at a tremendous expense to themselves, ■ since Mr. Draper had to come from Rome, New York to Hot Springs to conduct these demonstrations, which we ■ hope will prove to your benefit. Refreshments, angel food cake and punch will be served to the ladies each after noon. The Grand Rapids Furniture Store will be the coolest place in the city during the. demonstrations and attractively decorated with palms, ferns, etc. The Company has spared no expense to make this natural gas , range demonstration the greatest demonstration ever given in the state.

MAKES ANSWER TREATS JEFFERSON COUNTY CON GRESSIONAL AGREEMENT AS A SUBJECT OF HUMOR* Says the Preliminary Rate Will Give One Candidate Exper ence, and Open the Way for a New Richmond. Hon. W. H. Martin, candidate for congress from tnis district, liad 1'is attention called yesterday to ilhe poli tical agreement !n Jefferson county between ColoneJ Taylor and Judge Gould, and wan rather Inclined to treat the matter as a tinge joke. He made a characterictic deduction of the situation in the following authorized interview: "Yes, 1 observed in this morning’s Gazette ttiai Judge Gould und Col. Taylor have agreed betwixt them selves. to hold a little primary of their own In Jefferson county on Septem ber the 12tn, to decide w'lhlch of 'hem shall remain as Jefferson's candidate for Congress. A sort of lriendty 'beauty contest' as it were. “That is a little family affair which ought not to be profaned by outside interference. It's nobody eEse's ‘darn ed business.’ But really, 1 cannot perceive the practical utility of such a movement. Of course I concede that it does not require the statqp of my approval or endorsement. It does seem, however, as if this scheme will be productive of no greater pro gress than llhat of one wao travels fn a circle. “It Is proposed that the loser shall retire from the contest. But Jeffer son County is as full of congression al timber, real and assumed, as the pavement of a celebrated winter re sort is of good intentions. They have merry doings in dear old Jefferson county, and are always contributing in a substantial way to the gayety of nations. They certainly will not fail us now. “When the loser in this little family scrap is made known, you will neea no ear trumpet to hear the call from tilie faithful, ‘as these f^re let »thet*g advance,’ and so the winner will find new aspirants as thick as Richmonds on the field of Bos worth. “Whether this proceeding is quite fair to the rest of the district, pre sents an etnical question to be de termined in the first instance by gentlemen concerned, so far as they are personally affected. Judge Could and Col. Taylor evidently attach some importance to tlheir little primary and consider that the result of it will be to really select the next Oongresa man. “That, with the prestige of having defeated his home opponent, no otner candidate can stand before his lance. The other counties, however, might feel slighted. That is, they might believe they had a right to p«*rtici pate in this selection, and mat the' as well as Jefferson county ought to be allowed a ;voice even between the infallible Judge and tihe invin cible Colonel. “By the way, Isn’t it funny to speak of any one as the candidate of any particular county? If he is fit, what does it matter where he hails from? Certainly no one can justify a vote for a candidate on the ground of his being a county man unless he is at least the peer of nis opponent. I sup pose, however, that these Jefferson county statesmen wish to practice running a little before the real race begins. They are both such fin® at tractive gentlemen that it is a pity the district is limited to one congress, man. ' My own opinion Is that the Dem Ar>PotU «• * • -v-Buu.tHiif !«J! V UUftlt'HM »uUnf() be the cnoice of the district at large and ought not to be limited in their choice by the action of any siugle county.” HOME MISSIONS.
