Brewery Coal Afire.

A few weeks ago the Lone Star brewery
laid in couple of trainloads of hard and
soft coal mixed, In anticipation of short
age en- account of the great coal and coke
strike and have had the coal stored In
their yards near the brewery.
The natural heat of such large body
of coal caused spontaneous combustion
and the entire mass was yesterday dis
covered to be afire.
The brewery force, assisted by gang
of Mexican labcrers, is now engaged in
shoveing out the coal and spreading it in
order to get at the fire. The damage will
not amount to more than $50, for the

VERNoR's CALL.
A Republican Makes Some Pertinent
Comments on That Document.

81 see," said we'll known Republican
to LIGHT man, that Chairman Vernon,
of the Clarkite Democratic party, has is
sued a call for primaries, and appears to
be very anxious for straight Democratic
ticket, far more so than when he met
Bryan Callsghan and Thad Smith to
make preliminary arrangements. Now,
whether Vernon is chairman of the Coun-
ty Democratic Executive committee is In
deed questionable. His powers are de-
rived from George Clark and his state
committee and, seeing that Clark and his
committee have abandoned opposition
to the Hogg committee and given
it fealty, 1t is difficult to see
how the branches survive when
the trunk is dead, but assuming that Mr..
Vernon has lawful reason for his actions.
political trades and combinations. II
these exist then Democracy has by far the
best and an nnproportionate share OF the
spoils! There are 25 electorive offices in
the Bexar district. OF these the Repub-
licans have only three-cOunty treasurer,
county assessor and one of the county
commissioners, and, of course, Judge
NoOnan, if he is a Republican. AT the
most this is foCr out of twenty-five. The
richest offices and the greatest num-
Der, over six to one, go to the Democratic
party. Does any Democrat believe that
| this is in proportion to the Republican
vote and that more than that number of
| popular Republicans could not be elected
In q party line contest? No, for
the simple reason that in local politics
the citizens refuse TO obey party politics,
and will take what they believe to be the
best man for the position. This is the
rule, and the real reason why Democratic
candidates on straight tickets have
been defeated by outsiders. As | have
shown, don't think that Mr.. Vernon has
| any reason to kick at the share of spoils
| that local Democracy has, but rather that
I we-the Republicans have the right to
kick. If, however, Mr. Vernon desires a
straight ticket contest. think the local
Republicans will accommodate him. Re-
publicaniSm will not lose much, but on
the other hand, will, am satisfied, gain

The Lighthouse Dog.
Lewiston Journal.

Lewiston journal.
A dog owned by Capt. Orcutt,
keeper of the Wood Island light,
has become famous this week. 1t
is customary for passing steamers
to salute the light and the keeper
returns it by ringing the bell. The
other day a tug whistled three
times. The Captain did not hear
it, but the dog did. He ran to the
door and tried to attract the Cap
tain's attention by bowling. Fail
ing to do this he ran away and
then came second time with no
better result. Then he decided to
attend to the matter himself, so
he seized the rope, which hangs
outside, between his teeth and be-
gan to ring the bell.

Re. Knowton and Edward Walker

and the police instructed to look for the
party who BACKED Knowlton's eye.
KnOwltOn said he lived next door to a
saloon on South ConCho street, and was
called in there last night by some friends
TO take a drink. His wife saw him and
came TO the door and pulled him out, and
along came Walker, almost a stranger to
him, and took him by the collar to help
him out. Then, when he objected to such
impertinent interference, and was getting
ready to fight, along came his wife's
brother aud hit him in the eye, knocked
out tooth, and then friend of his, Will
ZONES, took hold of him and choked him
down and he had to give up.
Walker said Mrs. KnOwlton had asked
him to get her husband out Of the saloon
and that is all he was trying to do.

Vernon is chairman and nominal leader
of the Clark democracy and is entitled to
consolation from Col. Wright Quincy.
The Clark democrats are out for straight
democracy. To the victors belong the
spoiIs, and they aim to be the victors.
These Democrats do not propose to di-
vide the spoils with any one. They want
all and more too if they can get it.
Democracy now has 81 out of 25 elective
offices, and the best ones too.
If the Clarkites carried out the flatulent
enunciation of their leaders it may force
straight party contest.
This is nol bad idea for it would give
both parties an accurate idea OF their
relative strength.
To do this satisfactorily, however, there
must be party unity.
