C Miss Adah JLi Roberts, daughter of the man from Utah, who came to Wash ington as his private secretary, is not in love with the national capital. The gay and festive sightseer has marked her for his own, and the snapshot fiend pur- J 4. l ' Vhomfl nf Mr m t "cir.Zrt even to the neglect of , nome ot Mr. M J Freeman. sues her.

There is no doubt now that the Roberts goose is r cooked. Whilst the other members were being sworn in he was compelled j to stand aside. That he man- j aged to secure a seat at all was a matter of chance. When the j space occupiea by seats was cleared for the biennial drawing, he took His place with the others in the rear of the railing, eagerly listening for his name, but when the balls in the box "were ex occupied by hausted his name had not been; " I called. As he had not taken the oath no ball had been placed in the box for him, but by some acci dent the names of two Repub lican members had not been called when the balls were ex hausted. The speaker then ex plained that the balls were ex hausted, and. asked if any mem bers had not been provided with seats. The two Republicans and Mr. Roberts came forward. "If there be no objection," said the speaker, 'those gentlemen whose names have not been drawn will now seloct seats." No objection appeared, and Mr. Roberts man aged to find a vacant seat in the extreme rear of the hall, in the ' 'Cherokee Strip." There he pitched his lonely tent. - The petitions which Repre sentative Taylor presented to the House protesting against the seating, of Mr. Roberts were very bulky. ' They - consisted of twenty-eight rolls, each about two feet in diameter, encased in the American flag.' These rolls were stacked up in the area in front of the clerk's desk, where they impeded traffic until they were removed. They were col lected by the cock-sure New York" newspaper which thinks it has a contract for running the United States. The special committee ap pointed to try Roberts is. hinting that a junketing trip to Utah at the expense of the people would be the proper caper. Roberts will appear before this august tribunal shortly, and will then be cast into outer darkness. The Missionary Tea. . It was a nice evening the Young Ladies Missionary So ciety of the First Presbyterian church had Tuesday at the home of Mr. Elam King. Everything vent lovely, even the free will oi'forings, which amounted to about eleven dollars. 'An-elegant tapper v as served in the beauti ful decorated dining room.

We are sorry to learn that Mr. Jake Stirewalt, a young man who worked in the Cannon mill here some time ago, was a loser also by the fire at Albemarle. He roomed upstairs in one of the buUdings that was burned. He lost everything in his room, even losing all of his clothes except those he had on while at work in the mill that night. Fayors Fire Commissions. The Scotland Neck Common wealth, commenting on the vast destruction of forests and other property by the careless hand ling of fire says: "The next General Assembly would do well to establish a fire commission for every county for the purpose of investigating such fires, properly placing the responsibility and assessing the proper damages for the same. Such could be done without any cost to the State, the commis sion's compensation being, a part of the penalty upon those 1ty whose carelessness the fire orig inated." , : . t Goebel and Others Will Contest. It is positively stated that there will be a contest before the Kentucky legislature for the of fices of governor, lieutenant-governor and other State offices. Pythians Take Notice!
