OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES DEsMARAIs.
Hon. M. F. Desmarais, who is the
youngest and one of the ablest members
Of the present council, was born in Las
Vegas in 1865. He was NEST thoroughly
educated, his scholastic and collegiate
training extending through sixteen years
at such institutions as the Lincoln High
school at Topeka, Kas.; Notre Dame Uni
versity IN Indiana and the Washington
University at st. Louis. At the last
named institution DR.. Desmarais received
his diploma as medical student. In
1889 he settled in Las Vegas where he has
practiced medicine ever since. DR.. Des-
marais Is one of the few unmarried menu
bers Of the present legislature. If ru-
mora are true, however, more wonderful
things have happened than that he will
in the near future become Benedict.
DR.. Desmarais' line of ancestry goes
back further into the past Of this section
than that of perhaps any other man in
public life In New Mexico, his mothers
family having lived here since 1854. he
Is thus thoroughly identified with New
Mexico both by lineage and life,
and it's certain that no one is
more admirably equipped than he
for public service from the stand
points of education and natural talents.
DR.. Desmarais has been physician for
San Miguel county and was also for three
years secretary of the New Mexico Medi-
cal society. The councilmanship from his
slowed upon him, and the splendid vote
he received attested q general recognition,
by the people among whom he lives, of
his splendid abilities and character.

lily there during the coming week.
Representative Pine is being warmly
congratulated to-day on the fact that this

the birthday of Gen. Robert E. Lee.
Mr.. Hinkle's accepted time" seems to
have materialized in the house yesterday
when that body passed his school bill by
an overwhelming majority. But how
about its fate in the councils
Mr.. A. Staab was among the visitors on
this floor of the house yesterday afternoon.
No, there was no militia warrants in the
visit; it was, perhaps, simply a social
courtesy to the peoples lawmakers.
Mr.. Carr's motion to adjourn sine die
yesterday was doubtless the first install
ment of his threat to meet the gentle
men of the majority at Philippi."
Hon. Neil B. Field, of Albuquerque, has
been frequent visitor in legislative
halls during the past few days. Mr.. Field
is very strongly opposed to the Hinkle
bill for the distribution of the school
| fund derived from licenses.
Mr.. Leaders, bill prohibiting charge
of m ora than 3 cents per mile on railroads
| for passengers aroused considerable in
terest when it was introduced in the house
Yesterday afternoon. It will meet very
strong opposition.
Certain San Miguelites about legisla-
tive halls are not little elated over the
result Of the recent election for precinct
officers in that county. The Unionists

cincts, making gain of seven precincts

pirate committee. Another meeting will
be held Monday night at the council
chamber.
There were two interesting psrlia-
mentary fights in the house yesterday,

over the adoption Of the schedule of en-
ployes' compensation. In each of these
Mr.. Christy, of Dona Ana, made gallant
but unsuccessful fights in behalf Of the
very small minority opposed to each
/ measure.
The territorial employees of the legisla-
ture are still enduring the heart sickness
that comes from "hope deferred" While
both houses stood up to them yesterday
there can be nothing done toward paying
their salaries until next week, as the
joint resolution passed by the house must
be reported back to the council and the
latter body does not meet until Monday
evening. As the resolution must 60
thence to the governor for approval, il
will be Tuesday or Wednesday, at the
nearest, before the purses of the en-
ployes will become plethorical with terri
torial cash.

you will not have rheumatism. Hoods
Sarsaparilla gives the blood vitality and
