The Approaching CITY Election-Local
Notes.
SANTA MONICA, March I4.-The ap-
preaching city election has caused the
political pot to boil and the people are
earnestly considering the availability,
ETC., of various names for the offices 20
be filed on April Let, which are two city
trustees, FIVE library trustees, a mar
shal, clerk and treaEarer. OF course the
people consider, and that rightly, that
the selection OF q proper city trustee is
eminently more important to the town 8
welfare than the others and has caused
an unusually large list to be canvsssed.
The nominations will be made by petit
tion under the existing California cleo
tion law and they are flying around fast
and furious.
Those who have declared themselves
up to date for the position Of trustee are
s. Jackson, the popular hotel man who
has lived here for years; Mr.. r. R.
Harris, present incumbent, who has
made an excellent official, and II. @.
Beville, his colleague, whose time ex-
pires and ia deservedly popular.
The people are also considering the
names OF Nat Roth, one OF our most pro-
gressive and hoDored citizens, and NJ.
II. Kimball, a citizen who has been tried
and always found up to the highest
grade of excellence, understand that
a petition ia being circulated with the
name OF Mr.. Robert F. Jones, nephew
of Senator ]. p. Jones, and the popular
president OF our local bank. 1t is with
out the consent of the gentleman, who
has not acceded to the request Of vast
majority OF our people. who feel that ii
they can get him to accept they will
have not only the right man in the right
place, but one Of our most liberal
minded and progressive citizens, whose
pact record will more than bear me out.

"rhis agreement. made on June Il

and one dollar, each 10 the other in hanl
paid, the receipt of which 10 hereby aS
knowledged, the said parties do hereby
agree as follows:
"If no will shall be found and the said
Ella Buckminster shall be entitled to ali
of the estate Of said Margaret J. McKaye,
then she will, when the estate 10 fully
settled, pay over TO the said A. NJ. league
the sum Of $4,000 out of said property and
assets, provided, that the same shall
amount to $4,000 after the payment Of
all debts and expenses.

said Ella Buckminster one.half OF the

According to the allegations Of the
complaint, no will of the deceased was
found. The daughter being the rightful
heir to succeed to the bulk OF the prop
erty, came into possession of an estate
valued at $4,000. She refused to pay
the $4,000 to the sister as agreed upon,
and the suit is now brought to compel

The Tyrant Potato.

"Personally should not care if never saw another Irish potato," said to a friend. And nobody in my family cares particularly for them, yet somehow, like every other housekeeper, l feel obliged to keep them on hand and have them in one shape or another upon the dinner table ev- cry day"
 Your servasl6s probably could not sup port existence without them2"
 ''On the contrary, believe they prefer almost any other vegetable. Gold pota- toes are invariably among the left overs"
 After which colloquy I bought peck and ordered them to be stored in the cellar

for family consumption, writes Marion Harland in Harper's Bazaar.
 Mrs Rorer declares the potato to be neither wholesome nor elegant. l add to these disqual ifcations for the place of uni versal fayorite unpalatableness per SC. When unripc. it is like chewing gum to the teeth and hot lead to the stomach. Medical authorities warn tho public of the middle states against eating new potatoes before the Fourth of July ct the earliest. Until they boil mealily tkey clog and irri- tate digestive canals. Yet at this stage of an arrogant career they are more in de- mand and command higher prices than at any other.
 Bread is the housewife's strong staff, and butter her beautiful rod of sovereignty yet domestic statistics prove that in the great middle class there are not q few households in which the annual supply of potatoes costs as much as tho four or the butter purchased in the samo time.

 A new device is cake beater, for which it is claimed that it will mix any kind of cake from griddle cake to the finest fancy confection in one minute. Besides the say ing of time and labor over the old spoon process it does not leave one with tired back and arm and lot of dishes and spoons to clean. In appearance it is some what like q flour sitter.
