Association Mote..

The first county teachers meeting OF
this school year was held at the school
building in Lamar last Saturday. Owing
TO the stormy weather some teachers who
had planned to come were unable to at
tend; however there were more than three
times as many in attendance as there
were at our first meeting last year and
the interest was good. An increase in
attendance proportionate with that of
last year would demand larger audi
ence room than is available. Excellent
papers were read and the discussions
brought out many points of interest.
Instead OF meeting irregularly as for
merly, it has been decided to meet month
ly for about five months. BY that time
many schools will be closing and all will
be busy preparing for closing exercises
or eighth grade examinations.
The number of teachers taking up the
reading course together with, others not
actively engaged in teaching in the
county portends interesting meetings.
promises better instruction, and insures
good schools.
The next meeting of the association
will be on Saturday, December 10th, the
progrum of which appears in this issue.

NEIL n. MCLEAN.

The official returns have not yet
been received from Kiowa and Baca
counties, but reliable reports give
Mr.. Traxler 30 majority for repre-
sentative in Kiowa county and Mr..
Mclean Is majority in Baca county.
The official vote of Prowers county
published on another page gives Mr..
Mclean 81 majority. He is there
fore surely elected, although his ma
jority may vary some from As, where
it now stands, when the official figures
are received.

NUMBER 25.

The Ladies' Aid social at Mrs. j.
w. Bent's last Friday evening was a
great success. Mrs. Bent, assisted
by her sister Mrs. McClain, made ev-
eryone welcome, and the ladies per-
sonally saw thai all had good time.
Various games were played and at
the proper time, delicious coffee and
waters were served. These socials
are quite popular ard the pleasures
Of this last one will serve to make
them more SO.
The troupe which appeared at Col
laday's last Friday evening with
Lost in London" made whole lot
of people sorry that they were found
and had not continued lost in Lon
don. With two or three exceptions
the members of the troupe are devoid
of talent and evidently new to the
business. With practice they might
improve sufficient to become fair am
ateurs, and they might be passable
with plays of a lighter nature than
the one they gave. The part of
Teddy was we'll rendered, and the
skirt dance given by the same actress
was excellent. The part of Job was
fair and the novice, who took the
part of Blinker, has possibilities.
The others were very tame.

Mckinley Administration
Strongly Endorsed.
BIG OFF VICTORY
Tho East Is stIlI Strongly RepubIi-
can and the West 10 Coming
Back to the Fold.

Back to the Fold.
The full returns from the election
last week show that the administra-
tion has won the most sweeping VIC
tory ever gained in mid-term cleo
ton since the days of jackson. The
most significant feature was the
crushing overthrow of the free silver
idea in its home-the west.
The race war started in the south
caused Kentucky to go democratic
once more and increased their ma
jorities in several other states. Prob
ably the most unexpected results are
the republican victories in Washing
ton and Nevada A very pleasing
result was the overthrow of Charles
Towne OF Minnesota, whose carpet
bag interference in Colorado politics
caused the murder at the Colorado
Springs
The total result is republican
majority Of Is in the senate and 15
10 the house The different states
voted as follows:
New England states went solidly
republican as usual.
New York elects republican state
ticket and Legislature that will elect
q republican successor to Senator
Murphy, democrat.
Pennsylvania went strongly repub-
lican, giving Senator Quay fatter-
ing endorsement.
New Jersey is solidly republican
retiring Senator Smith, democrat, for
republican.
In the south the democrats were
victorious everywhere except in Del
aware, Maryland and West Virginia.
Those states voted to retire the dem
ocrstic leaders, Senators Gray, Cor
man and Faulkner, for republican
successors.
In the middle west the republicans
made clean sweep, and will be able
to retire the two remaining demo-
cratic senators, Turpie of Indiana
and Mitchell of Wisconsin.
The west, however, furnished the
big surprises. The great republican
gains were as unexpected as they are
welcome.
North Dakota remains republican,
and will retire her democratic sena-
tor, Roach. South Dakota joins her
in the republican column.
Nebraska elects the fusion COVER
nor by about 1000, but the republi-
cans control the legislature and will
retire Senator Allen. populist. Kan
sas shows republican victory and
the final exit of Jerry Simpson.
The republicans make greatest
sweep in history of Wyoming. Same
in Washington. Same in California,
retiring Senator White, democrat.
Nevada elects republican governor
and legislature that will retire Sena-
tor Stewart, any old thing.
The democrats carry Utah, Idaho,
Colorado and Montana, and will elect
democratic successors to Senators
Canon and Mantle, silver republicans.

the stout oak prism was shivered to
splinters. This one fact alone would
be sufficient to give an idea of the
appalling energy of modern projec-
tiles.
One gunner was hit with no fewer
than Is pieces of steel, each about the
size of hazel nut. At the moment
the shell exploded one man was stand
ing right in its path. He was literally
blown to fragments. He was talking
to a comrade, and, strange as it may
seem, the latter, although less than an
arms length away, was unhurt, save
for being knocked down by the shock
of the explosion. Others of the men,
80 feet from the fatal shot, had dozen
pieces of the shell plunged into their
bodies.
"a remarkable feature of the explo-
sion was the smallness of the pieces
into which the shell burst. 1t shiv-
cred into fragments weighing about an
ounce. The only piece of any size
picked up was rather less than half
the base, just enough to enable it to
be ascertained that it had been Cir nch
shell, fired from high-power, breech-
loading gun"

GOVERNMENT BY THE PEOPLE.-We
could cite dozens of instances to re-
member, where outrages have been
committed in the name of this "best
solution" law; but we close by quot
ing from THE YoRKvILLE ENQUIRER
this Wednesday morning the following
additional very recent outrage:
All the people of Tirzah but one asked
for the removal of the Tirzah dispensary,
and the state board Of control ignored
their request. Is this really a govern
ment by the people or government by
dispensary boards?
The question THE ENQUIRER asks
is pertinent one. That this monop-
oily may flourish, such outrages as that
at Tirzah are of frequent occurrence.
Under the hated license system the
voters of Tirzah or any other town
could drive away the sale of liquor
from their municipality. The ballot
box determined the question but not
so in this day of grace and dispensary.
One man petitions for the continuation
of the dispensary and is heard, while
the voice of the many is disregarded.-

PROFANITY ON THE STUMP.-We do
not think it out of place to mention
some of the expressions often heard.
Besides explanatory expressions in
volving profanity, we hear such as
these: "Since God made me-" eli
God lets me live," "On Gods green
earth," "In the name of God," "For
Gods sake" "Thank God" "God
knows" "It's the Gods TRUTH" $50
help me God," and many others equal
ly unnecessary. Then other attributes
of the Deity are often used, as if to

The Damage That Was Wrought by Six
Inch Shell.
The correspondent of the London
Telegraph says of the Spanish she'll
that struck the Texas at Baiquiri:
"Although the shell was only small
one, six inches in diameter, and there
fore, not weighing more than about
70 pounds, it practically wrecked the
big compartment in which it burst,
while the smoke from it forced itself
down the ammunition hoists and into

rope was cut through to the wood and
