viii fhe Democrats sndosss tho poputist
candidates to'dlghtf
Tostiorrow evenings city f6publlcan
convention will be- a rouser.
The political fight in the city election
seems to be good natured, and this Is as II
should be, but every man should vote and
work for what he thinks 10 for the good Of
the city.
julius Abramowsky is favorably spoken
OF by the democrats as an available candi-
date from the fourth ward for a place on
the board OF education. He no doubt has
the interests of the public schools at heart.
Republicans Of the third ward, you had
best watch your interests, this evening, as
there is an understood intention among
democrats to pack your primary In the In
terest of themselves. "a word to the
wise" etc.
The populist party is exceedingly anx
ious to have the democrats fight under
their banner, this year, that they may
win and have the news telegraphed to all
the leading papers Of the country that Las
Vegas is a populist city!
Why do the populists ignore J.. b. Allen
In making up their slate? He is a man who
talks populism in the day and dreams Of 1t
at night, and he should be recognized on the
ticket. That Is as far as 1t will go, how
ever, as you may stick a pin in the predic-
tion that the republicans will carry every
thing. this year.
Both the republicans and populists have
meetings called at Judge Wooster's Office,
this evening, and, as the. republicans are
only to have a ward meeting and the pop
ulists a mass convention, II has been sug-
gested that the republicans meet first, at
1880 O'Clock, and get through with their
business by the time the populists desire
TO get together.
Stranger things have happened than
that the democrats will not nominate a
candidate for mayor a .their city conven-
ton, this evening. 1t were perhaps as
we'll for them to leave the head of the
ticket blank. DR.. Olney takes more pride
10 being mayor Of the city than would any
other citizen with perhaps one single ex-
ception, and he can never reach the goal of
bis ambition), and the general sentiment
in the community Is to let we'll enough
alone. .-.f

Freezing Air.

Most students of chemistry have seen
water frozen in the average tempera-
ture Of room, but few have ever seen
the air solidifed, so that it could be
handled like ice or any other tangible
article. But this has been done by
Prof. James Dewar OF London. The
operation is carried on through several
stages and with various agents. Gases
are reduced to liquids under great me-
chanical pressure. then suddenly lib
Grated. Certain gasses under pressure
give temperature 145 degrees below
zero. and the evaporation of these is
one part of the process. Pressure of
almost two thousand pounds to the
square inch has been employed for the
gases. The experiments are enormous
ly expensive with present appliances
and are of use only as demonstrations
of possibilities. With further research
may come more simple and less costly
methods and materials. The future of
freezing has great promise and its val
lie cannot be estimated.

Curzon for years has been in that

but his story is substantially as fol-
lows: Several days ago one of the
society ladies of the county was taken
with severe sore throat and her suf
fering was such that her friends be-
came very much alarmed over her con-
dition. She was engaged to a young
man of the place. and he was hurrledly
sent for, and wnen he arrived he kissed
her several times. The disease devel-
oped into diphtheria OF a malignant
type, and since that the young man
has been also attacked by the same
disease. Professor Hurry says this il
the first case on record where diph-
iberia has been communicated by kiss
ing and he points to the fact as a
warning to all ardent lovers to restrain
their tender impulses when either IL
