A local politician explains the req son that the contest for prison re- moval was made the second time. He says that when Jake Marks and J. l.. Fisher were here pending ac- tiOn on the bill that was first intro duced to remove the prison, that something like the following con- versation took place in the presence of an employee of the Southern Pacific. Said he, "it is we'll known that Fisher is great josher, aud in that vain he (Fisher) remarked in the presence of the Southern Pacific representative that he had brought down from Prescott a $500 sack. Well, fl you have, said the Southern Pacific man, have got a S5,000 sack. In the meantime action was taken on the bill in the council and was there put to sleep. After that the story leaked out that the South ern Pacific had S5,000 sack that had never been touched. This information reached certain mem bsrs of the council, who had voted agaiust removal, held a caucus and immediately agreed to introduce the same bill, slightly modified, which as will be remembered, created quite furor when it was discovered that the bill was likely to pass the council by vote of to 5. You all know the fate of the bill when it came up for final pas sage How Dan Ming voted no in a voice that was hardly audible, and how there was a distinct groan heard as an echo of that vote. How it was given out that Governor Franklin had said that he would veto the bill if passed. In fact Dan Ming told that as q reason why he had changed his vote.

Never dld the colonial facade of the exec utive mansion smile upon fairer guests; never has it's roof sheltered rnore benign hostess
 Reports from Washington may be surprise to those who have heard only of Mrs. Mckinley as an invalid. who have known uf the inspiring aid, as true holpmeet, that she has rendered to her hero through out all the stress of the past year, aud who are only just learning through personal observation of her capacity to shed the pure radiance of a typical American housewife through the glamodr of official so- clety at the national capital. But there need be no sense of astonish- ment that the wife Of William Me kiniey should prove herself equal to any occasion. No physical in frmity could dominate or impair he native strength and the natural charm Of that feminine character which for a quarter ot century have been the cheering focus of the Mckinley home. While Che presi-- dent has dismissed uniformed guards, removed sentry boxes and thrown open the portals oI the Ex- ecutiye Mansion to his best friends. the "common people" of Lincoln, Mrs. Mckinley has received with cordial welcome the wives and daughters of Washington, who Kinley invariably wears a miniature of her husband in a brooch upon her bodIce.

 If "all the world loves a lover," the American people will in their owu homes give their sympathetic approval to this simple and uncon scious evidence that elevation to high public station has not marred the beauty oi that mutual trust and united thought which are the foundation of the Amerlcan home.
