Patent Attorneys Oustcd.

Under the caption, "a Patent Attor
ney Firm to be Disbarred,' the Scientific
American of the 2nd inst. contains the
following information in regard to the
disbarment proceedings instituted
against Widderburn e CO., whose ad
vertisement as patent attorneys has ap-
peared in many Western newspapers.
"As the result of his Investigation into
the charges against Wcdderburn & Co,
Of Washington, ID. q, the Commissioner
of patents has recommended that the
firm be disbarred. The case has had a
lengthy hearing before Assistant Com
missioner Greeley who has decided that
Wedderburn Il Co. are guilty of irregu-
lar practices, and recommended them to
disbarment. The decision has been ap-
proved by Commissioner Butterworth
and is now before the secretary of the
Interior, Cornelius N Bliss, for review
and approval. Briefly summarized, the
charges which have brought this firm
under the ban Of the commissioner wero
as follows: Unprofessional conduct in
soliciting business by giving away med
ais for inventions; taking applications
when there was no chance of patent
being granted; and making incomplete
searches for patents

Unquestionably the best and busiest
section of the city OF Pueblo today is
Bessemer. The INDICATOR has always
contended and contends now that with
out this lively suburb the city would be
much flatter than it has been all
through the hard times. Bessemer it is
that has kept the wheels of industry
going and sustained the reputation of
Pueblo as being the liveliest city and
best business center in the state.
The home OF the steel workers, largely
the homo Of the employees OF the smelt-
srs and the railroads, and the home OF
many downtown business men, clerks,
etc, it has always had fair share of the
circulating medium and there has been
less actual want here than in any other
part OF the city. The steel works dis
bursed the neat monthly payroll Of from
$4,000 to $4,000 even while the plant
was regarded as being closed down, and
the payroll Of the smelters and railroads
have been heavy. No other portion of
the city has maintained it's values
through the close times as has Besse-
mer, as the rental OF houses shows very
plainly.
In discussing this matter with
shrewd citizen the other day who has
kept his eye on the trend of events, he
put it in this happy way. Said he:
"Take for instance Union avenue bridge
as the central point Of the city, draw
circle the radius OF a mile and then fol-
low around the circle and see the rela-
tive value OF property. See if it is not a
great deal higher in Bsssemer than any
other part of the city. And we can ap-
ply the same rule to rents that we do to
property values. By doing this anyone
can prove to his own satisfaction what
it means to have property in Bessemer."
That illustrates the point. Go out to-
ward Irving Place, East Pueblo or any
sther suburban part Of the city and you
will find real estate at from 25 to so per

TrE democracy Of Pueblo can't stand
a little political prosperity. Last
spring job lot of them were boosted
into office by republican votes, and they
are too obtuss to sec the point. They
haye swelled up so with their Eoo1 luck
that they are almost unapproachabls
and seem to think that they did it be-
cause of their political foresight and
good generalship. The republicans have
reunited for the present campaign and

ORMAN & CROOK, the noted railroad

Stewart Writes a Letter.

Mr.. a. 7. Stewart, the democratic
statesman of this city, has lengthy let
ter in the Rocky Mountain News of the
4th inst. in which he pitches into John
A. Gordon and declares that he will lend
his influence to the support of Gabbsrt
for supreme judge. Mr.. Stewart is par
ticularly bitter against Gordon because
he stood for Cleveland in the memorable
democratic state convention which met
in Pueblo in the fall of 1892 We have
no desire to criticise the Pueblo states
mans letter, as he has good reason to
get back at Gordon, but we would re-
spsctfully call his attention te the fact
that some democrats who are now mixed
up in politics and who try to make be-
lieve that they are stepped in silver SEN

vention and bolted with him for dear old
Growers sake. They, too, should be-

How Meales Defeated al, Opposition.

Two years ago the democrats and
populists combined on Charles Otero for
county clerk, good man and a popular
citizen, and felt sure that they could de-
feat Harry Meales. In fact the election
of Otero was very small part of their
solicitations. But what of the result?
After polling the full strength of the
combine and influencing few scattered
republicans to support him, and using
every means at their command to secure
his election, knowing the Importance of
getting control of the office OF county
clerk, Otero had 1910 votes while Meales
had 1887 votes, majority OF Az. This
signal victory over such an earnest and
powerful opposition showed Meales'
strength then, and by making model
official he is stronger today than ever,
and will go through the campaign like a
whirlwind.

And now with the vast improvements
