THE Mexican government deals more
literally with its public land than
Uncle Sam does with his. There was
a time when Uncle Sam was not bit
behind Mexico in gifts to her enter
prising people, and Mexico will some
day stop short in her mad desire to
give away her choicest lands to spec
uIators. The idea is a good one under
certain conditions, but Mexico is carry
ing the idea TO extremes.

Maj. j. NJ. Beardsley and VIM. McEniry.
ESQ. attorneys for the complainant, Mrs.
Ann Dunning. who asks $4,000 from
Assessor John Barge for breach of
promise. The plaintiff AYERS that
she was engaged to Mr.. Barge from
September last when she secured a
divorce from her husband, John Dun-
ming. and still is. She asserts further
that they were to have been married in
FebrusIy-last month. But that on the
day set for the nupt ials Mr.. Barge backed
out and put her of until now. She
states that he is again attempting
to defer the happy event and that
she believes he never intends to
wed her. Nothing short of $780,
600 of his possessions. however. will
amend for her broken heart aud the mans
ner in which he has trifled with her af-
fections. Mrs. Dunning claims to have
in her possession numerous letters from
Mr.. Barge, declaring his affectionate re-
gard for her and addressing her in words
and language that only cupid himself
could coin.

deavoring to apply remedy. which.
while not as effective as anything the

capacity provide, will. nevertheless. no
doubt. afford a measure of comfort to

the crossings in q temporarily passable

| ed Officer Sexton to utilize the
patrol wagon in hauling ashes and COW
ering the crossings in the more
fre9uented street intersections. Sexton
is equal to all such tasks and with the
valuable aid of Corporal Sam Jones-not
the great temperance advocate, it should
be understood-has been busy all day

commissioner, and attention has been

parts of the city which are now
either actually impossible or near
ly 80 through his neglect of
duty. Twentieth street is a depiorable
illustration. This street, one of the most
traversed leading into the city, has been
practically abandoned, and teams on
their way to town are obliged either to
turn back or come in by way of Elm
street, two miles out of their way. Twen-
tieth street is cited because its present
condition is not traceable to lack of
funds now, but more directly to the mis-
cradle work done there under the street
commissioners direction last summer and
which left it in a worse condition than it
was before. All over the city, in fact,
are evidences of shameful neglect in the
matter of street cleaning, and if the
present administration is to continue to
maintain the good reputation it has
achieved it must make change in the

than third of their original offer,
owing to developments since Mr.. Daven-
