A GOOD NOMINATION.

A GOOD NOMINATION.
The nomination of Calvin G.
Brewster to succeed Grain in the
Eleventh district is one against
which there is nothing to be urged.
Mr.. Brewster commands the con-
fidence of the whole Rio Grande
district in a marked degree, and
will receive the solid support Of
the republicans OF his district, I'M
less in the eastern section in which
the large purchasable vote has
generally been secured by the DEM
ocratic use of money. Mr.. Brew
ster has been before the district on
other occasions and his popularity
is second to no man in that section.
AS a business man, a man of brains
and integrity, a man every
way interested in the advance
ment of the material interests
of his district and unusually
we'll acquainted with its needs, he
is we'll qualified for the position
rendered by his fellow republicans.
He is also man Of fine presence,
genial manners, cordial spirit, cor
rect life and regarded by those who
know him, as a remarkably we'll
poised and level. headed man. 1t
is to be hoped that his business
affairs we'll not prevent his accept
ing the honor so unsought by him,
and 80 unanimously rendered by
the convention. In that event the
duty Of making the race for the re-
publican party falls on the shout
ders OF Major B. l.. Crouch, of Frio
county, Of whom the LIGHT has re-
Gently spoken in connection with
that nomination. In the hands of
either OF these republicans, the
interests of the district would be
safe. The Mexican element of that
district is naturally republican,
and unless corrupt use OF money
by wealthy democrats withdraws
that vote from the republican party,
there is little prospect of the demo-
cratic nominee getting single Rio
Grande county. Heretofore the
large vote of Cameron county has
not come to the front for the re-
publican party as it should, owing
to underhanded work by some Of
the party bosses in that section.
This time the promise is for the
support of all republicans, but such
promises are better judged after
the votes are cast. There is not
much time to lose between now
and the election, which occurs only
two weeks from next Tuesday. A
sharp, short and vigorous cam
paign will follow the nomination
Of Kleberg on Saturday.

ON EASTER SUNDAY
3. P. Sawyer Wilfully Deserts His
Helpless Wife.
SHE AWAITS HIS RETURN
The Heartbroken Woman Says He
Has Deserted her Before. But
Came Back-Her Love for
Him Is True and Deep.

Mrs. E. p. Sawyer is looking anxiously
for the return of her husband. whom she
says went away on Easter Sunday morn
ing and has not been home since. She Is
left penniless and is unable to do work
other than light Homework and is with
out means to pay the rent, which is past
due.
Sawyer is a sign writer by trade, but
has been very careless of late about his
work which is caused, so his wife re-
lates by the bad company into which he
has fallen.
He wanted her to work for a fellow
with whom he picked up an acquaintance
and she refused to do so. They quarreled
and Sawyer went away with the fellow
and she thinks he is persuaded to stay
away by that ill-found friend.
Mrs. Sawyer says her husband is
and she thinks he ought to come home to
her. They were married in Deer Lodge
about two years ago, and came to Ana
conda last August. Her confidence in his
affections is mistaken by his absence.
for she says he went away once before
and was gone for some time, but was
glad to come back to her.
He told me-" said she, before / said
would marry him that IL / did not be-
come his wife he would commit suicide
He is younger than am by 20 years and
1 had a daughter old enough then to be
his wife. but he said he did not want her.
but he wanted me. l don't know where
he has gone, but l wish he would come
back"

What Pou Should Avoid II You Desire to
Pres rye Your sight.
From the Canadian Lancet
AS nature has endowed each one of
us with only one pair of eyes and will
not duplicate them when injured, the
following half score of "dont's" should
not only be indelibly impressed upon
our memories but be religiously re-
membered
DIR. G. Sterling Ryerson, professor of
opthalmology in Trinity Medical COL
lege, Toronto, says:
Myopia being essentially a condition
due TO abuse of the eye, one is con-
stantly obliged to say don't to pa
tents. 1t occurs to me that 1t might be
usetul 10 put these prohibitory rules in
aphoristic form:
"F1rst-Don't read in railway trains
or In vehicles in motion
Second-Don't read lying down or In
constrained position.
Third-Don't read by freight, moon
light or twilight.
Fourth-Don't read by pickering gas
light or candlelight.
Fifth-Dont read books printed nm
thin paper.
Sixth-Don't read books which have
no space between the lines.
Seventh-Don't read for more than so
minutes without stopping, whether the
eyes are tired or not.
Eigghth-Don't hold the reading close
to the eyes.
Ninth-Don't study at night but i'm
the morning. when you airs fresh.
Tenth-Don't select your own glasses
at the outset
1T would almost seem as though
some OF these rules were too obvious
TO require mention. but practical expe-
rlence shows that most people abuse
their eyes just in the way stated.
I'm short, anything which tends TO
increase the quantity of blood in the
organ favors the increase OF the defect.

of the retina and blindness"

Their California Interests.

The party of New York and Boston
mineowners at the Palace hotel will
leave tomorrow for Coulterville, Mari
posa county, to inspect the property
which they hold there under the name
of the MERGED Gold Mining company.
says the San Francisco Chronicle They
have expended about $750,00 on the
proposition thus far in purchase price,
erection of machinery and in develop
ment. Lately however, ii was report
ed that they had discharged most of
the men, and the reason assigned in
some quarters was that an attachment
of 100000 had been placed on their
Butte. Mont, mines.
Speaking of the subject yesterday A.
S. Bigelow and Thomas Nelson of Bos-
ton said that they were copper men and
that gold mining had been foreign to
their operations. They had taken hold
of the Coulterville proposition as an ex-
pertinent. though conducted on thor
ough business lines. They said they
had thoroughly prospected the MERGED
company's mines, which comprise the
Dalia, Venture, Louise, Balance, Mar
guerite and Mary Harrison on the east
vein. and the Malvina Nos. l and 2.
Regina. Dan Cook, Potosi, Douglas and
Mahoney on the west vein, and, having
sufficiently developed them. had dis
charged some miners and started up
the 40-stamp mill at its full capacity,
with a view of thoroughly testing the
ore before proceeding further in work
ing the mines themselves.
When Mr.. Nelson was asked IL the at
tachment on the Butte, Mont. mines
had anything to do with the slowing up
at Coulterville, he said that statement
was not only an invention, but was ri
diculous, as every one of their incorpo-
rations was distinct and the success or
the failure OF one did not affect the
standing of the others In any particu-
lar. He added that he believed he and
his associates had a good investment al
Coulterville. and were on their way TO
inspect IL and decide on their course in
the future.
The party have visited the mines on
Lake Superior and i'm Montana. and af-
ter going TO Coulterville will proceed TO
Arizona. where they also have large
mining interests.
