Prompt Action Necessary,

Information comes from Wagon Mound
that there are Is cases of small p0X in
that place. The cases are confined
principally among the native people and
every %precaution will be taken by the
local authorities to prevent the disease
spreading. 1t is also reported that
there are a number of cases at Ocate,
a short distance west of Wagon Mound.
There are no cases in Santa Fc at
present. but the city is in no wise ex-
empt from contagion. The disease is
gaining Roadway in other parts of the
territory, and the mayor and health
authorities of Santa Fe should take
decisive and prompt action to keep the
scourge away from the city.

Woman's Auxiliary
Colonel w. ]. BRYAN

Our esteemed contemporary, the Los An
geles Herald. calls us to task for saying that
In case Mr.. William Jennings Bryan should
enlist as a private soldier he would receive
$13 a month in gold, instead of $3.50 in silver,
the amount he would have received under
his free-coinage theory. The Herald says
that it would not make any difference what
Bryan did. we would surely be dissatisfied
with his course, and 1t intimates that even
IL he tried to raise a regiment like other pa
triots we would find fault with him for that
and ask him why he did not enlist as a
private.
Since the publication of our article-which
was designed merely to illustrate point in
the free coinage theory-Mr. Bryan has
raised a regiment and has rendered his SER
vices to the country as colonel We under
stand also that the war department has ac-
cepted his prefer and will in due time issue
him commission. We desire now to refute
the statement of the Herald, by declaring
that we heartily approve the conduct of the
distinguished Nebraskan. 1t was in
compatible with his dignity to enlist as a
private soldier. not because such position
Is not honorable and worthy any mans am
bition, but because Mr.. Bryan can render
the country more service in higher station.

BOWERS IN LOS ANGELES
Detective Flammer Arrived With Him
From the North

Detective Paul H. Flammer arrived yes
Bowers, the alleged bunco man. who is
thought to have been pal with Campbell
and Spencer, who did young Seagrave out
Of $500 last week. Bowers is quite a smooth
custom e, and it was first thought that he
would give the officer considerable trouble
in the northern courts before he would al
low himself 10 be brought back for trial,
but this did not prove to be the case. Bowers
was landed here without any trouble. He
takes his arrest cooly and refuses to dis
cuss the case or make any kind of a state
ment.
Bowers was going under the name of Leon
Strauss when he was arrested. The officers
were very fortunate in securing trace of
the man. 1t appears that Wells-Fargo
& Coz Express money shipment receipt was
found on Spencer, showing that money had
been sent to man named Leon Strauss in
Sacramento. The officers naturally thought
that the latter might be member Of the To-
cal gang, and notified the northern authori-
ties to arrest Strauss. Some man called at
the northern office and asked for the pack
age from. Los Angeles. but the Sacramento
detectives saw that he did not correspond
with the description of Bowers. Neverthe-
less, they followed him. He went to a
fashionable lodging house, but no trace of
Bowers was seen. and as he then repaired
to a park where picnic was in progress,
the officers still followed. There they To-
Gated Bowers under the alias of Strauss
and placed him under arrest, in utter disre-
gard of the good time he was having.

Just now the men who do politics" for
livelihood in and around the city hall are
puzzled to know where they are at" So
long as the water question was the only
thing that clouded the political horizon
the push and pull were all right If not in
their element. They had their bearings,
and steered accordingly.
But a political typhoon has arisen.
Mixed with the water-question war cloud
is the matter of tunnels through the hills,
and, cutting the clouds in jagged streaks, is
the electric lighting proposition.
Whether to stay out in the rain and take
chances with the lighting or to hide in
the tunnel and have the water and eight
ing probably sweep down and destroy the
whole outfit. is the question just now with
the "buttonhole" politician.
There has been a good deal of unfounded
talk-the wish, perhaps, being father to
the thought-concerning the existence and
opening of certain sacks" There is moth
ing at present that sacks" could do. So
far, Influence" Is at discount and will
continue to be so until the bids are opened
when the birds may begin to sing.
AT the city hall yesterday, outside of cor
ridor talk, which was verlest chaff, there
was nothing new in any of the propositions
now agitating the council. Most of the
lighting companies have sent in requests for
the specifications as outlined by the council
On Monday and these will he furnished

FIRE DEPARTMENT
Civil Service Examination Ordered
A Missing Fireman

A Missing Fireman
Fire Chief Walter Moore yesterday posted
notices on the bulletin board In his office as
follows:
There will be, a civil service examin-
ton held in the hall of engine house No.
on June 9th next, at p. m. for ladder
men, hosemen, calmen and sub-call-
men who have not been examined.
This examination will open up the way
for the successful man to a position of $40
per month, instead of $50 per month, at
which rate the merfto be examined are now
paid.
The second notice reads: RULES 10, 80
and 40 must be strictly observed
Rule 10 requires that every fireman wear
his badge conspicuously displayed when on
duty. Rule 80 requires drivers Of fire APP
paratus to avoid driving over lines of hose
except in cases Of actual necessity and ur-
gency. Rule 40 is generally known as the
"rubber-neck ing" rule. 1t forb!ds flremen
when on duty from doing anything else
than fight fire.
Engine No. is short a man. B. L. Kiser
has left for parts unknown, leaving also
numerous creditors ct al, who are anxious
ly inquring as to his whereabouts. Kiser
had domestic troubles, a divorce, alimony
which he did not pay and contempt of court
proceedings in consequence. These subse-

Care of Electric Light Fittings

In places where the cord containing the
electric wire is exposed and loose care
should be exercised in keeping this free
from dust. 1t collects SCOT, etc, with won
derful rapidly, and needs to be kept clean
with damp cloth run over it's surface,
every day or SO. The electri light globes
also collect dirt very rapidly, when used
in a room where a fire is burnt, and should
be taken off at least once a week, and
washed in warm water, to which some
Scrubs ammonia has been added. They
should then be laid in front of the fire to
dry completely before they are attached
again, and the light turned on. Electric
light should never be used in private
house, unless softened by q thin colored
shade. for it is too bright for the eyes
and too unbecoming with its strong glare,

An Advantage of Red-Haired Persons

1t is a curious fact that red haired peo-
Pile are far less apt to go bald than those
with other colored hair. The average crop
on the head of a red-headed person is
only $4,000 hairs. Ordinary dark hair is
far finer, and over three dark hairs take
up the space of one red one; 100000 is about
the average. But fair-haired people are
still better off; 900 to 10000 is quite a
common number of hairs on the scalp of a
falr-hared man or woman. A curious cal
culation has been made to the effect that
the hairs on the head of a fair-haired
person, if they could be plated together,
would sustain a weight of something like
eighty tons, equaling that of 500 people,

PIONEERS MEET
Memorial to Deceased Members and
Interesting Historical Facts

The regular monthly meeting Of the So
ciety of Pioneers was held last evening in
Californian hall South Spring street In
the absence OF the president Judge Eaton.
H. D. Barrows occupied the chair. A. II
Judson and Henry W. Stowell were elected
to membership. The early part of the even
ing was somewhat in the nature of q me-
mortal to the three members who have died
during the year. Col. J. j. Ayers, Stephen
c. Foster and Horace Hitler.
]. NJ Gum read an appreciative sketch
of the life Of the late Mr.. Hitler and of his
value to and interest IN the society of which
he was one of the founders, written by H.
d. Barrows. Resolutions embodying the
sentiments Of the members on his death
were read and adopted, Mr.. Gillette and
others spoke of the sterling worth of tho
man and his quiet, unobtrusive manner in
building up the society,"
Mr.. Quinn spoke of the sterling integ-
rity of the late Stephen C. Fosters charac-
ter, his remarkable memory of detail con-
corning the pioneer life of California and the
services rendered the city as the first Amer
lean mayor or alcalde. Several speakers
deplored the manner of his death and the
fact that he should have been in want of
food, as was publ.shedI IN onI of the daily
papers. Mr.. Barrows Stated that he knew
from personal knowledge that while Mr.
Foster was in straitened circums tauces
1t was a gross violation of the truth to say
that he starved to death, or that his family
were in any way unknd to him. He re-
manned in the city simply because he pre-
ferred 1t to farm life.

Daniel Sexton, which recently occurred in
