Paris, Dee. 1O.-The joint peace COM
mission met at $3.50 p. m. and at 5:10
took a recess until p. N.
The commissions are awaiting the en-
crossing of the treaty of peace.
The Americans were the first to arrive
at the foreign Office the Spaniards COM
ing half an hour later.
Senior Montero Rios, president of the
Spanish commission, assembled the steps
leaning on a cane and bundled up in a
fur coat.
The Americans shook hands with the
Spaniards when the latter entered the
conference hall. The faces of the repre-
sentativeS of Spain were exceedingly SOL
emn. Apparently they regarded the oc-
casion as funeral one.
The treaty, which was not completed,
was brought in sections from the hands
of the engrossers, while the commission
w sitting.
After being photographed, the commits
siOners listened to the reading of the
treaty until 5:15, at which hour they took
recess until Z o'clock, while awaiting
the arrival of the last sections of the
treaty.
The long session this afternoon and the
fact that each article of the treaty had
been carefully read and compared in
Spanish and English and to the fact that
the engroSSing of the last article in S"an-
ish was incomplete.
1t is expected that the session which
has just reconycned will only last few
minutes.

THREE PRAYERS.

An infant in its cradle slept.
And in its sleep it smiled
And one by one three women knelt
70 kiss the fair-haired child;
And each thought of the days to be
And breathed u prayer half silently.
One poured her love on many lives,
Bur knew loves toll and care:
Its burdens oft had been to her
A heavy weight to bear:
she stopped and murmured lovingly,
Not hardened hands, dear child, TO
thee
one had not known the burdened hands,
But knew the empty heart:
At LIES rich banquet she had sat,
Al united guest apart;
''0h. not she whispered tenderly,
An empty heart, dear child, for thee"
And one was old; she had known care,
She had known loneliness:
She knew God leads US by no path
His presence cannot bless;
She smiled and murmured trustfully,
Cod will, dear child, Gods will TO
thee

TEDDY IS THE WHOLE THING.
Roosevelt will Appoint a Democrat
Because Latter is a Good Man.


Chicago, ILL.,, Dee. 1O-There is a good
deal of anxiety among the Republican
managers in New York because of indica-
tons that Gov. Roosevelt intends to fiji a
vacancy upon the Supreme bench of the
state by the appointment of Judge DAILY,
the Democrat whom Mr.. Croker denied
a denomination i"r city judge at the last
election, says w. e. Curtis, the staff cor
respondent of the Chicago Record Judge
DAILY is an eminent jurist. He has served
for fourteen years upon the bench with
honor to himself and satisfaction to the
public He was almost unanimously in
dOrsed By the Bar association regardless
of politics.; he is president of the Catholic
club and the legal adviser of the arch
bishop. He was turned down by Croker
because be WoaII rot recognize the orders
of Tammany hall in the appointment of
receivers masters, referees and other jl-
dicial officials under the court In other
words, he ignored the organization and
appointed maa for their qualifications and
not for thor politics. The Republicans
placed him upon their ticket, and he drew
a good many Democratic votes, but not
enough to elect Kim, and now Gov. Roose-
welt proposes to elevate him 10 the SUI
preme bench of the state The Republic
an candidate is Judge Cohen. a Jew. a
partner of Edward Lauterbach. who has
been chairman of the Republican county
committee. Judge Cohen is an able man
and has served acceptably upon the bench
for few years. but he does not rank with

Red-Headed Persons Rarely Bald.

Humanitarian: An eminent man Of
science has recently declared that red
haired people are far less apt to get bald
than those with other colored hair. The
average crop on the head of a red-haired
person is only 29,200 hairs Ordinary
dark is far finer, and over three dark
hairs take up the space of one red one:
100000 are about the average. But the
fair-haired people are still better off: no.
900 to 100000 are quite common number
of hairs on the scalp Of a fair-haired man
or woman.

st. Paul, Mimi. Dec. 1O-Nearly 400
600 sheep wintering at the South St.
Paul, New Brighton and other stock
yards in this vicinity are to be sent to
Iowa and Missouri. This strange situa-
ton has been brought about in midwin-
ter by the formation of a trust by the
Minneapolis millers and the sudden rails
ing of the price Of wheat screenings from
80 to $500 ton. The price is practi-
calIy prohbitory, rendering it necessary
for owners to ship their sheep where they
can be fed on cornmeal. 1t is said the
cattlemen are contemplating a similar

A Quaint Swiss Church,

A quaint little church similar to many
others, the only difference being the con-
struction Of the back, which is curiously
wedge-shaped, is situated on the side of
a mountain above the village of Frauen-
kirch, at Davos Dorf, in Switzerland.
Here the avalanches not unfrequently
fall, and the V-shape of the back of the
church breaks their force and sends them
gliding harmlessly off on either side, thus
not only protecting itself, but also the
village below.

BY an error in transcribing the
court docket last week it was made TO
appear that n mortgage had been

action to correct description of his

The last jury case Saturday night
was that of Dan Ball charged with
having conducted Zone of those
things" where water was not admit
ed on pain Of loss of character. The
jury came in with verdict of guilty
on six counts.
Monday the court convened and
spent the first two or three hours in
getting jury to try Dan Fry on the
same charge.
The grand jury also resumed opera
tions THE morning and nobody knows
how long II will continue.
Grand jury visitors are not hailed
with u refrain generally used on
other occasions by joshing friends.
Never yet has man as he entered

Tuesday was record breaker in
the district court so far as the liquor
cases are concerned, two men being
cleared from the charge. Dan Fry,
though his attorneys, Ewing Il Savage
created such a large doubt in the
mind of the jury that they quickly re-
turned IA verdict of not guilty. This
was the second clearance this term.
The next case was that Oft V. Camp
bell, the druggist, of Savonburg, and
the prosecution broke clear down in
this case, its witnesses declaring that
they knew Of no sales, and Mr.. Amos
IN deep disgust asked the court to in
struct the jury to bring in a verdict OF
mot guilty." which was done.
Tuesday the sittings we're resum-
ed by both the district court aud

instead Of keeping the attendance
down, merely served to augment it,
having made out of door work i'm.
possible.

Clarence Carter Dead.

A little after midnight Sunday
Clarence Carter. son OF j. w. Carter,
died after a three years struggle with
consumption and Is now at rest.
Clarence Carter grew up in lola
and attended the public schools here
until about fifteen years Of age when
he learned the printing trade at
which he worked while his health
permitted until the time of his death.
For number of years he set type in
the REGISTER office when 1t was To-
Gated over Evans drug store He
afterwards worked on the city dailies
in Kansas City and Wichita and
joined the union Of printers. Having
acquired considerable experience and
money, he and several other young
men started a daily paper in Wichita,
1t tlourished for a short time and then
failed and soon after Clarence came
home, broken in spirit and health.
1t was three years ago that the
struggle with death began, and
Clarence Carter, hopefully and cheer
fully fought to the last. He suffered
good deal during the last year and
a racking cough shook his emaciated
frame hourly. A trip TO Colorado
failed to benefit him and he kept him
self alive with especially prepared
and prescribed medicines and easily
assimilated foods. A bout six months
ago he gave up work andtook to the
house TO await the end.
Clarence Carter lived clean,
brave, honest, industrious life and his
untimely death is very sad blow to
ms many friends lhere. He leaves IA
father, and sister, Mrs. Smith, to
mourn his loss, and the REGISTER
extends them deep sympathy and
joins in the belief and hope that
another world will make up to the
manly youth infinitely for the suffer
ing which he bore patiently in this
world and the honest and pure fight
he made against Overwh Ginning odds.

SOME FUNDAMENTAL MISTAKES.

We understand that some very
earnest advocates of city ownership
have approached mem mbers of the Gas
Company with this proposition: Let
the price of the plant be fixed at $780,
900, instead of at $4,000, and let the
Gas Company withdraw its opposition
and allow bonds TO be voted in this
amount"
The gentlemen who make this pro-
posal, while doubtless in entire good
faith, forget two very important facts,
namely; The men in the Gas Com
pany who oppose city ownership do
nnwise investment for the city to
make and not because they are not
satisfied with the price offered; and,
second, the opposition to city owner
ship is not limited to members of the
Gas Company.
1t is not likely that honest men
would favor voting $4,000 to buy a
plant which they have declared would
be bad investment for the city at
10000, even though they were them
selves to profit by the added price.
But even if members of the Gas
Company should consent to so stultl-
fy themselves, the fight against
the bonds would be made just the
same. 1t is good politics, of course,
for those favoring City ownership to
try TO make it appear that the Gas
Company is the head and front of the
