MichAel's maisrity


Two of the twenty-nne tinted tickets
had Mchael'S name scratched and Conklin'S
written in. According to the count OF the
judges of election in the precinct, Conklin
received 2O3 votes and Michael 1896. One
ticket was thrown out altogether On it.
Comklin's name was scratched and the name
Mike" written in. without initial letters
or first name The vote in precinct A" of
the Sixth ward was a tie between Conklin
and Michael, each receiving lI6 votes.
MichaelS majority in the ward is. therefore,
eighteen.
Councilman Burnett, chairman of the
committee, and City Solicitor Summers, will
prepare a report in accordance with the
above facts, To be presented to the council
next Tuesday night.
Another contest will grow out of the
tinted" tickets. F. VI. Hagan was present
at the count last night and while he said
little, he thought a great deal. He was
there in the interest of J. NJ. Pence. who
was defeated by Hosterman for the school
board. The tickets that were thrown out
by the judges of election bore
Pence's name. and next Monday night at
the organization of the school board he will
probably serve notice of contest Accord
ing To the count of the judges. HoSterman's
majority in the ward was II, and it is
claimed that all but two or three Of the %
tickets thrown out bear Pence's name. In
case the contest is made, the school board
will have to appoint an investigating COM
mittee, just As council did. That commit
tee will then 90 over practically the same
ground that the committee Of council went
over last night.

A FRAGMENT.

What il, while sit here alone,
4 voice have not heard for years
Should greet me IN the low, sweet tone
That once was music to my ears;
= And should start from memory's sway
And, turning. find you sitting there
Unchanged, as though 'twere yesterday
Your feet went trippling down the stair
Or, If, upon some summer day,
Mid song of birds and hum Of bees,
/ should go down the woodland way
To our old tryst beneath the trees;
And starting back in glad surprise,
should behold you waiting there,
The old light shining in your eyes
The sunlight tangled in your hair.
In vain shall not see the glow
OF wine-brown eyes or catch the smile
OF ruby lips; but yet i know
That you are near me all the while.
For so loved you in that rage
OfsuHny years that my poor heart
Would bleed afresh and count it strange
To think God help Us far apart.
And 50, when evening shadows creep
And night falls softly DER the lea,
You touch my eyelids and / sleep,
And sleeping, dreams of heaven and the.
And when some summer morn shall break
That hnds mechilled by deaths cold dew
You need but kiss me ! shall wake,
And waking, be in heaven with you

Anecdote of Mayor CASTOR.

A characteristic story is told of ex-
Gov. CASTOR when he occupied the
mayoralty chair of Boston. A gen.
tleman, whose sense of the dignity
of citizen was greater than his de-
velopment of physique, applied at
one of the departments of the city
hall for some official information.
1T was a pretty dress she bad on
at the ball last night" said the
young official, who was gossiping
with a kindred spirit.
Il haven'ta great deal of time to
spare" interposed the citizen.
"Say, Cholly, l do wish you'd in
troduce me to that blond that waltz
ed with you"
And so the business went, the
functionary showing no further con-
sciousne.s of the existence of the
citizen than implied by depreca-
tory nod. All who had heard of
this particular citizen through voice
or pen would, however, aver that he
was not the man to be trified with.
After an exasperating interval he
he quietly stepped over to Mayor
Gaston's Office. His honor, who
was perusing a document beside a
blazing hearth. was asked to look up
the information.
Certainly said the genial may

The herds of wild buffaloes were
the first roadmakers of the far south

led them to select and keep open the
best and easiest routes with refer.
ence to the topography Of the coun-
try. and it is always found that thes.
buffalo trails led TO the best crossings
of the streams.
The earliest natiTe tribes of In.
dians and the later invading tribes
as well as the Spaniards. followed
these trails, which, rs civilation adj
vanced, became the roadways. An
exception in one particular is to be
made as to the Apaches, whe struck
out peculiar trails. leading from one
point to another, well suited for de-
tense in warfare, and these trails as
sumo often, for this reason, serpen-
tine course.
One OF the oldest Spanish trails is
of the date 1886, and it extends
from New Mexico into the present
State of Kansas. 1t thus appears
that Europeans were upon the terri
tory of this State, supposed to have
but a brief history, long before any
Europeans had landed anywhere
upon the Atlantic coast of North
America, from the point of FLORIDA
10 the shores of Greenland, unless,
possibly, the Norsemep may have
done SO.
This old trail acrots the prairies
was reopened by the Missouri trad
ers Gefore the day of railroads or
turnpikes for conducting commerce
by more direct route with Santa
Fe. Subsequently famous trapper
known as Uncle Dick, who is still
living. and who was a companion of
Kit Carson, constructed turnpike
road along the more mountainous
region. This was still more favor
able route. and the builder of the
turnpike made a handsome fortune
by taking toll at 81 per wagon. The
Topeka and Santa Fe
Railroad now follows thisroute, and
the prosperity of the turnpike is of
the past.
