The School Election.

To the Edito nj the New Mexican.
! SANTA FE, May 26.-I have noticed il
the New MEXICAN call for Republican
primary meetings to be held on Wednes
day to nominate candidates for schoo
directors. presume from this that there
is also Democratic call. Now wish tc
protest vigorously against bringing poll.
tics into thia election. 1t has been placed
in June so IS to be free from all party
divisions. This is the first election under
the new law, and will be apt to be pre-.
cedent. Let us stamp out this attempt to
make party nominations at the outset.
In the east, if party should attempt to
run a political ticket for school officers,
the whole population would rise in indig-
nation to crush it. 1t is an unheard Of
thing there. Let US do the same here.
For one, pledge myself to vote against
any ticket nominated at party conven-
ton, and hope all good citizens will do
likewise. 1t is of vast importance to have
good school officers this year. We will
have plenty of money to have first
class public school, and We must
see that it 10 worthy Of the capital city.
We must elect men who are thoroughly
familiar with what good public school
is, men who have been educated in them
themselves and are full of the spirit of the
public school system. Let every man
who choose propose ticket, and then let
the people select the very best men.
There are plenty of good men. Tho fol-
lowing occur to me at the moment and
there are dozens more: Messrs. Thorn
ton, Allan, Read, Cross, Koch, Palen,
Vaughn, Seward, Key, M. Garcia, Lind
helm, Gray, Axtell, Bishop, Spiegelberg,
Sena, Clancy, Eggert, Vanderver, Selig-
man, Weltmer, Emmert, Hughes,
Knaebel, Johnson, Dudrow, Rivenberg,
Reaser, Symington, Walker, Schumann,
etc.
This does not include any of those in
official positions who are we'll known as
special friends Of education.

Decoration Day services-Personal Notes
Politics and Candidates.

1t is noteworthy that Decoration Day was
observed in our town with more than the
usual interest and appropriateness. The ser
vices were held in the lecture room of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, the Sabbath
School participating, and marching in body
with the &. A. r. to place floral tributes on
the graves of their sleeping comrades. The
Red Men also turned out, and by their dis
play in the parade and in the public assem-.
bly, contributed largely to the interest of the
occasion. The music in the assembly was
rendered by the choir of the church, under
the leadership of Mr.. Jesse Malehorn, and
was most enjoyable part of the service.
Miss Emma Bush, as usual, presided at the
organ. The Beckleysyille Band gave the
out door music and rendered such good ser
vices as to receive the compliments of all
who heard them. In addition to the ritual
service of the G. A. K. prayer was offered by
Rev. Osborn Belt and appropriate addresses
were made by Revs. Thos. 4. Copes, and j..
b. Hall, our present postmaster. The occa-
sion seemed to be without political signif-
canoe, the best elements OF the town and
country, without regard to parties or sects,
appeared equally interested.
Murray y Kebaugh have lost several very
fine horses from la grippe.
Mrs. John Homme and Lewis Shater are
both confined TO their rooms.
Mr.. Fulton Payne, of near Stewartstown,
Pa, visited friends here last week.
Harvest will be here earlier than usual, and
will be very heavy. Corn is well set, and
grass is very much improved.
A. Z. Wells seems to be doing all the bust
ness in binders this season.
DIR. r. G. Wells was at the Arlington land
sale on Tuesday.
1t looks like politics would get high here
this fall, with plenty of candidates to tell the
people how they will sacrifice their personal
interests to serve their country.

On Thursday morning, at an early hour,
great commotion was heard among the chick
ems in the back yard of the Central Hotel,
which attracted the attention of one of the
servants, who Immediately called Mr.. Marsh,
the proprietor. He came upon the scene of
the oommotion in double quick time, and
caught the culprit .Jia9ranti delieto. Mr..
Marsh did not call an officer, nor wait for the
formality of warrant to take the culprit
before one of our magisteria dignities, but
seized him at once and made him prisoner.
The mscreant turned out to be very small
opossum, which had killed no less than seven
small chickens. This youngster is no doubt
a descendant of the venerable fellow that
dined on chickens and eggs at Mr.. POOLS, just
in the rear Of the Central Hotel, last winter,
and which was finally captured by Mr.. Pool.

Aided by the early and later rains, genial
temperature and refreshing dews, the vege-
table world is now exhibiting its beauty,
richness and grandness. Present appearance
indicates that the wheat crop Of western
Carroll will be very heavy. Grass has greatly
improved since the late rains, and Il good
supply of hay will be secured if favorable
weather is allowed during haying season.
The basement walls or stonework of the
contemplated new German Baptist Church at
Pipe Creek will be completed in few days.
The masons employed are John T.. Stone,
contractor; John W. Stoner, A. j. Stone,
Daniel Hiser, Isaiah Copenhaver and Charles
Stone. The latter, yet youth in his teens,
was awarded the honor of laying the first stone
in the foundation. The building committee
are in attendance nearly every day, and the
work of getting building material together is
well attended to.
Mr.. A. j. Stone recently caught with hook
and line, in Little Pipe Creek, carp which
measured 2S4 inches in length and weighed
7 pounds.
Large streams from little fountains flow,
Big fish in little creeks will sometimes grow.

Rnu.a Meetinr entertainment.

The members OF the Boys Meeting assisted
by some of the female talent of this city, gave
"A very creditable entertainment at Odd Eel
lows Hall on Tuesday night last. The hall
was crowded, and the audience seemed to be
well pleased with the exercises. Promptly
at eight oclock the curtain rose, and after II
song by the boys the Lords Prayer was
repeated. The boys then sang, after which
the opening address was delivered in mas.
terly manner by Emory Buckingham. The
following programme was then rendered /:

For the Democratic Advocate.
Attempt to Use City Office to Pay
q Political Debt.

Westminsters municipal government has
been non-partisan for some years, and should
be kept so. 1t has been the custom to have
the offices divided between the two political
parties, and everything has moved along
serenely, so far as partisan politics are con
eerned But now an effort is being made TO
saddle on the town Republican worker whom
his party failed to place in the postoliice or
to provide for elsewhere. There is not SO
much objection TO the gentleman himself, but
there is serious objection to having u non.
partisan town government used TO reward Re-
publican partisan workers. And If the effort
is further pressed the non partisan character
Of our city affairs will be seriously threatened.
As the office of tax collector has been held
by Republican for number of years. il
would be well to elect some Democrat to the
position, so as to make the distribution of
patronage fair. Noone would have objected
10 the continuance of the former collector.
but he has been placed in more lucrative
place by his party. The colleciorship is the
only city Office that pays anything worth
speaking of, and has been held by a Repub-
llcan for some ten or a dozen years. As a
change has become necessary, in Justice and
fairness some competent Democrat should be
chosen. Least Of all, the office should not be
used to house Republicans that could not be
taken care ofby the Republican administration
at Washington. Ii there are not Offices
enough to go around, let the anxious wait for
another administration, and political leaders
should otinvade our city government to pro-
cure snug places for their lientenants.

childfen's Day at waraeldsburg.

Children's Day was celebrated at Stone
Chapel on Sunday last, and the exercises
were very interesting. 1t was enjoyed by
u large congregation, Notwithstanding the
cloudy weather of the early morning, which
gave every evidence cf rain. When you wish
to hear anything good go to Stone Chapel
rain or shine and You will not be disappointed,
especially on such an occasion as this. So
says your correspondent, who was granted
the privilege of listening to an untiring pro-
gram, under the care and supervision of
wisely appointed committee, namely Mrs.
Laura Sellman, Misses Annie NJ. Barnes,
Addie B. Manahan and Della Bale. The
Misses Manahan and Minnie i. Summers
were organistS, assisted by Louis NJ. Sellman
on the cornet. But as it was Chldren's Day,
of course the children played prominent
parts. REGULATIONS and dialogues, as well as
the singing of several appropriate hymns,
made up the program, and much praise is
due the children for the successful manner in
which it was rendered. The choir, led by
Mr. George Pennington, rendered many beau
tiful selections. AT the close of the exercises
the pastor delivered an address, explaining
the nature and idea of the day in a compre
hensive manner, by illustrating it by charac-
acters. Then followed the collection, which
was good.

Attempted Assassination.

On Monday night last, about II o'clock,
Mr.. G. Patrick Walsh, aged about % years,
son of Mr.. Michael Walsh, residing near
Carrollton Station, was shot at twice. He
was sitting in room OF the house Oh the
adjoining farm, and was about to start for his
father residence. just rs he arose II bullet
passed through the crown of his hat, breaking
the skin of his head and singeing his hair.
As he turned he extiuguished the lamp and
another shot was fired, the bullet lodging in
the wall Mr.. Walsh Immediately procured
his gun, stepped to the door, and, hearing
retreating footsteps, fired in that direction.

are of about 80 calibre, and the first one would
have been fatal if it had been an inch or two
lower.

Monday all the members were present. A
petition from some of the patrons of Miller
