LaWiesS SECRETARY.
The standing committee on reso-
lutions ground out one compliment
ing the people on the management
Of the county finances this year" As
this was being read there was grin
on every face and all eyes turned to-
ward the chairman, but he was too
much engaged with his meditation to
return the glances.
S. j. Higbee was re-nominated for
commissioner. Delegates were elect
cd to Legislative convention held
Thursday, and to the senatorial con-
veniion at Las Animas next Satur-
day. A central committee with j. I.
Lawless as chairman was chosen.

SILVER
QUESTION !.

Go see Frybarger's display of sill
yer ware; the finest ever brought into
the county. Triple plated, with man
ufactures 10 year guarantee. While
the goods were brought here for pre-
MUM purpose, one piece to over $50
worth of general merchandise bought
in my store, will sell any piece or
set of the ware at hard times and 80
cent silver dollar prices aud take pay
in silver money.
Single pieces range in prices from
$3.50 to s5, and consist of cream
and syrup pitchers, spoon holders,
sugar bowls, butter dishes, cheese
dishes, teapots, celery and fruit
dishes, pickle castors cake stands,
fruit and bon-bon baskets and
castors.
One whole tea set, six pieces, for
S15. Buy now, for when Bryan is
elected and congress passes the new
silver law, silver goes into money in
stead of silverware, hence the de-
mand in that direction forces the
prices of silver up and silverware
advances double.

Hit Him with n Brick.

Very late Friday night Justice George
W. Thomas. OF Henrico. was called
from his slumbers to swear out a war
rant against Prosser Jackson, who threw
a brick at Walter Crenshaw, fracturing
his skull 1t seems that Crenshaw lives
lust outside of the corporation limits.
and was called 10 the door by Jackson.
Crenshaw upon making his appearance
was struck with a brick, whereupon
Jackson Immediately fed. Both men are
negroes. All efforts so far TO capture
the culprit have failed. while the in
iured man lies in a precarious condition
az the almshouse Though resting easily,
his condition Is not at all safe.
II was said early this morning that
Jackson had surrendered himself to the
county authorities.

THE REPUBLICAN DIFFERENCES.
Much Interest In the Approaching
Meeting of the City Committee.

a great deal OF interest is being mani
Tested in the meeting TO be held on Mon
day night Of the City Republican Com
mittee. The session will take place at
the old City Hall building, commencing
at 7:3O o'clock. and its object IS to take
UP the controversy between Colonel VIII
liam Lamb. chairman OF the State Repub-
lcas Committee, and Mr. Edgar Allan,
chairman OF the City Republican Com
mlttee.
Just what action will be taken It Is now
impossible to predict. Certain IL is that
Mr. Allan's friends are rallying around
him, and he is sanguine that a majority
OF the members OF his committee are
with him. and will not allow him 10 be
ousted from the Craftsmanship Of the body,
even though this is Colonel Lambs earn
est intention, without raising their pro-
test. The whole AFFAIR may result In the
party having two city chairmen. Should
this be the case there will be little at
tention paid here. on the part Of the
Republican leaders, to the securing Of
votes for their party, as most OF their
time would be devoted TO making war
upon each opposing faction IN their own
ranks.
1t is claimed that the real cause Of the
fight between Colonel Lamb and Mr.
Allan is the difference OF opinion en-
tertained by them as 10 Republican presi-
Dental nominees. Colonel Lamb IS said
70 be for Reed. although he has not ex-
pressed himself. while Mr.. Allan believes
that the body polite OF the Republican
party in Virginia wants Mckinley, and is
supposed 10 favor the nomination Of the
