A Joplin , Missouri paper says that a voman preacher at that place recently stopped in the middle of a discourse md picking up a Bible said she was go- . mr to throw it at a man \vhj was un- ] 'uithful to his wife. As she > ire\v her irui forward every man in the church , nit one ducked under the seat. After jivin.f the mun , who stood without liuching , a good puff , as the news apers called it , she learned that he vas a deuf mute. The revelation was little discouraging until the dodgers ixplained that they had seen a woman rhrow a stone at a hen and knew nighty well that she could not hit the 'ellow she was throwing at , and dodged is a matter of nece.ssity , not of con- icience.

For a long linio- friends of the editor ; ; h ? various 'parts of the sixth congressional - ional district have urged him to run for congress , but up to this time ho has always said nay. An article in the Ru-hville .Standard of la > t wr-ek has however caused him to change his mind , and he now places himself in the hands of his friends , and will await the action of the conventions which will name W. L. Greene's successor. Judge Westover has withdrawn fronrthe r.ice , Mike Harrington has said he will not accept the nomination , and we are told Judge Ilarbaugh is after something else. This leaves the northern part of the district without u candidate , and because the editor believes with the Standard that the next nominee should ome from this section of the state if I possible , he announces his candidacy. ! In doing this he realizes the fact that i 1 he lays himself open to the charge of ollice seeking , but jis ho has never be fore sought a nomination or appoint ment of a political ch iracter and never ran for oflice , he believes that charge Jo j be of no weight against him. He is now a democrat , and always has been ; he never changed his political belief ; he is a young man , and is not untangled with any political clique or ring ; he has no capital backing him , and if nomi nated and elected would h ive no interests - I ests to serve except those of hs ; con | stituents. His position upon questions j of the day is .veil knoAM to bj orih > ' dox so far as politics is concerned , and j the files of his paper ever since the memorable campaign of " 9(5 ( are cited in proof of this. This may be a novel method of cam paigning for a nomination , but he iloes't believe in dark horses , and has nothing to conceal. He is a newspaper man and believes in the power of the press and to the newspapers especially ic appeals for support. Clarke-Carlisle. Married , Tuesihir evening" . April 2-j. 5. D.
