MINOR CITY TOPICS.
A local swain puts it thus;
She isn't very wealthy,
Yet wears a golden crown;
She bought it at a dentists
For fourteen dollars down.

U. S. weather bureau forecast for New
Mexico: Fair tonight and Tuesday.
If the Republicans will nominate good
and respectable men for candidates fol
city offices, they will cary their ticket by
a good majority at the coming city cleo
ton.
Z. N. Stone, of Alamosa, was robbed
Saturday evening'of a watch, chain and
$40. Suspicion is attached to an &C.
Quaintance who came in with him on the
same train. The local police have the
matter In hand.
The New MEXICAN has no candidates
for city offices. 1t simply advises the
people and the voters to nominate good
men, taxpayers and property owners
and men who have the welfare of the
city at heart and who will see to it that
the taxpayers money is expended for
the benefit of the city.
Salmon & Abusleman, the San Fran
cisco street general merchants, opened a
branch store in Jemez on Saturday with
a large stock of goods. Mr.. Salmon has
been buying goods for the different
places of business run by his company
for several days, and they will be wcll
supplied with merchandise when the
purchases arrive.
In ward No. 8 the coming school cleo
ton is beginning to attract considerable
attention. In casting about for a suit
able candidate for the board of cduca-
ton, a number of the leading Repub-
leans in the ward are of the opinion
that Robert Bowler, an employee of the
NEW MEXICAN, would make an efficient
and careful member.
Rev. A. Hoffman, the Ration evangel-
list who will assist Rev, Madden in revival
work during the ensuing week, reports
six converts at the services last evening.
Rev. Hoffman is a very Jealous and i'm
pressive worker and his stay in Santa
Fe will result in much good. 1t is re-
ported that he has resigned his Ration
passionate and will take up special a
gelistic and missionary work shortly,
and make Ell Paso his home. He is an
excellent Spanish scholar.
Mr.. Posey, a Los Angeles, Calf, cap
~ltalist, has completed arrangement to Sc
cure possession of the Crown Point mine
at Bland and now proposes to open the
property OF q scale comparing favorably
| with the great producers of the west.
The Crown Point is considered one of
the best properties in the Cochiti dis
trict. Mr.. Posey has made scads OF
money in mining sp%eculations in Colo
RADIO and Idaho and is not afraid to in
vest it. Associated with him in the en-
terprise are Boston capitalists of I'M
doubted wealth and enterprise.
The political pot is beginning to boil.
City politics Is the cause. During the
past few days several meetings Of Re-
publican voters have been held in wards
Nos. l and 4. These were well attended.
There seems to be a good deal of rivalry
between the friends of the present city
clerk, Charles Conklin, who is a candi-
date for denomination, and Marcelino
Ortiz. At two of these meetings some
of the young Republicans made speeches,
among these Manuel Salazar, who rep
resents the fourth ward in the council,
and who talked very eloquently and to
the point. 1t is beginning to look as II
the city campaign would be somewhat
exciting.
The benefit entertainment for Man
agcr Dettlebach, to be given by the Edi-
son Vitascope company tonight, will
doubtless be attended by a goodly num-
Der OF peoplerwho appreciate MIR. bet.
tlebach's efforts to secure first-class en-
t%ertainments for the city. i
