PRECINCT BOARDS.
4 Demand to Be Made for Equal
Representation.

The Republican County Committee Is
waking up, and the indications now are
that Auditor Strother. the blatant mouth
piece of the Democratic Boss. will not be
allowed to dictate the entire control of the
coming election.
AT the next meeting of the Board of Elec-
ton Commissioners Meyer Jacobs, Chair
man of the Republican County Committee,
with Judge Dibble and NJ. A. Dorm as
counsel. will appear before the board to de-
mand a hearing in the matter of the amend
ment of Section 1142 of the Political Code,
which provides for an equal representation
of both parties ON the precinct registration
and election boards. Thus far the COM
mission, which is made up of four Democrats
to one Republican, has carried things WIN
nigh hand, and instead OF proceeding 10
appoint precinct boards under the amended
law, took for its authority the old section
of the Registration Act, which gives the
party IN power representation OF two 10
one against the weaker side.
AT the last meeting of the commission
the attention of Mr.. Strother was called to
the amended law by Mr.. Jacobs, and de-
mand made for the rights of the party, but
Mr.. Strotber pushed the matter aside with
the air and pOmp Of dictator, informing
Mr.. Jacobs that that question had been
definitely settled by the board and would
not be considered again.
OF course, the Republican County Com
mittee had nothing to do at that time but to
retire, but not, by any means in the attitude
Of defeat. The committee leaders are de-
termined that if Strother attempts again to
deny them hearing they Will drag him into
the court by the persuasive means of a man
damus, and see if he will undertake to dc
tate to the Judge.
How the hearing may tnrn out cannot
even be conjectured at this time, but 1t is
certain that if the commission refuses TO
recognize and act upon the amended section
of the Political Code the matter will be taken
into court for judicial construction.
The whole situation, so far as the Demo
cratic party is concerned, may be summed
up in one w0rd-desperation. At the last
election that party lost the Tax Collectors
Office, the Recorders Office. the District At
torney's office and the oherif1's Office, and,
having previously lost the County Clerks
office, there was nothing but the Assessors
left in which to feed the enormous gang OF
parasites that infests the party and that has
always fed heretofore on municipal pap.
Every corrupt measure that can be de-
yised is to be put in use, to the end that
these lost snaps" may be regained.

CINDERELLA AFRESH,
st. Paul Giri's Misadventure After a

A st. Paul Girls Misadventure After a
Party.
An interesting sight was witnessed early
one morning recently by two night-workers
while vending their weary homeward way
up Wabash street. says the st. Paul Pioneer
Press. A young couple, who had evidently
put in the night at some dancing-hall, had
stopped on the opposite side oil the street,
and the lady. was endeavoring to change
her dancing slippers for her walking shoes.
Her pedal eXtremities were of course some
what swollen by the nights dancing, and
her efforts to make the change were futile.
Her companion then came to the rescue,
but their combined efforts were unavailing.
Finally the attempt was given up. and
she concluded to replace her slippers; but,
10! when she attempted to do so she found
that her feet had swollen to such an extent
that it was impossible to wear them. Here
was dilemma sure enough. A hasty con-
sultation was held, and her escort took off
his shoes and handed them to his fair COM
panion. They were just the fit, and soon
the couple continued their homeward jour-
ney, the gentleman In his-stocking feet.

A DEARTH OF COAL,
The Wellington and Carbon Hill Mine,
Shut Down.


Shut Down.
On account of the strike among Duns-
muir's miners in the Wellington mine there
Is very little of this coal on the market. 1t
was recently reported that the strike had
ended, but upon investigation this was
found to be untrue. Out of about 900 men
employed in the mine only about 30 are at
work, and these are only employed in the
old tunnels. Since the strike Wellington
has advanced to S11 per ton, and unless the
miners return to work. which is not proba-
bic, still greater advance may be expected.
Now comes the information that the Paci-
fic Improvement Company's coal mines at
Carbon Hill are closed, or about to close,
by virtue of an injunction served on the
company at the instigation of the Fish Com
mission, that body claiming that the ac-
emulation of debris in the Carbonate
River. caused by washing therein, was kill
Ing off the fish.
+. S. Douty, Secretary of the Pacific I'm
proyement Company, thinks that the new
order coming at the same time with the
Wellington trouble will seriously incon-
yenence the public in general by putting
coal at very high figure.
