route to New Mexico on business. He
Is stopping over long CROUCH to look
more fu lily into matters concerning the
iLterna tlOp al dam, and is having today
q talk with General Mills D .ivate
secretary, Mr.. Happier, and consulting
Engineer Follett who has returned
from his trip down the river.
Col. Steph ens.in conversation said
that democrats 10 his section of the
country considered that Henry
Georges death was IN aterial help to
Tammany's chances, and that Van
Wyck would now surely be elected.
AS TO the Ell PasO collec.orship, Col
Stephens said that was something the
democratic congressman had Do5hipg
to do with. He with other
democratic congressman from this
state had received letters from
Texas republicans asking for in auence,
! and had been to see cabinet officers in
regard to this. They were informed
that where there was no republican
congressman, recommendations would
be received from the republican ex.
ecutive committees of that district.
thus relieving democratic congressman
of the embarrassment of working for
republican appointees. Col. Stephens
said that this was perfectly satisfac.
/ tory arrangement to both Sides
Texas republicans he said were en-.
gagged in fight just at present tina,
| would end in either Green or Grant
coming out top Of the heap; but until
it was decided which would win, no re-
publican appointments need be looked
for.

ed. The debaters on the affirmative
side were M. Kayser, r. Phiilps and r.

profit give out subjects and select
speakers month ahead, SO that the
boys could thoroughly post themselves
and present their views IN such a way
as would do them the most good. Hav-

commendable idea. Frank NORRIS

tatOrs was attracted to the last meet
ing of the old council, Saturday eve
ming. Many of them were interested

of DR.. M. D. Wood, G. H. Higgs and
Richard Wigley had expired, and that
he would appoint as their successors
DR.. Wood, B. f. Pay and Prof. w. e.

On motion of Aid. Lille, the ap-
pointments were confirmed.
Aid. Peterson moved that the cleo
tion of an assessor be proceeded with.

Cleaning Straw Hats.

More than one way Of renOVating, at
home, the straw hat that has borne the
brunt OF summer sun and wind, and
looks dreadfully "Off color" has been
set forth in various journals. An appli-
cation of lemon juice has been recon-
mended, and when the hat has become
very yellow, the addition Of sulphur
to the lemon for bleaching. Sometimes
this is successful, and other times 1t is
not, which perhaps might be said Of al
most any treatment, If the conditions
are not favorable In first place, the
hat must not be too old or too lifeless,
and the tan and dust too deeply in
grained nothing will restore such one
but--a new hat.
One Of firm grade, however, and hold
ing It's stiffness well, may, after the ordi-
nary wear of the summer, be successfully
freshened by the following method,
which was followed by an enterprising
girl, who did not wish to spend her
money on a new sailor for August The
band was first removed, and the hat
carefully brushed to remove all dust.
Then, dissolVing cents worth Of oXalic
acid in water, with a stiff toothbrush
she rubbed and washed every part Of 1t
in the solution. This was followed by
three or four rinsings in cold water to
remove the acid using the brush to do
1t, and frequently wiping away the extra
water with a clean cloth. When thor
Oughly clean the brim was laid fiat on a
board and a not very heavy flat weight
laid on the crown. Placed in the sun
shine and wind, the hat was soon dried,
and when the band was replaced really
looked las good as new" as it was white
and in good shape. A word Of caution
as to using the Oxalic acid. II too strong,
it will eat into the fiber of the straw,
and the hat will crumble like ashes at
the touch, as one girl found out to her
