There are a couple of young gentlemen
in the legal profession In this city who
aspire TO hold an Office one of these
days and are training with the Repub.
lictn party and doing their best to
please with that object in view.
They are at present engaged,
it is said, in Il Q effort to persuade
every taxpayer they can get 20
listen to them that In case the bonds
are voted to put in a city owned water
system the taxpayers are going to be
swamped with taxee, and that the city
will practically have to be put up at
auction and sold to the highest bidder
to pay the interest on the bonds, aud
have been industriously engaged In Sc
curing the names of voters for registra-
tion who they think will vote against
the city owning its own water
system.
These young men do not pay one
cent Of taxes ON any piece of prop
erty in the city ofLas Vegas or I'm
San Miguel county.
This THE OPTIC ascertained from
the county assessment rolls.
The millennium certainly must be at
hand when young men will thus go out
and plead with their neighbors not to
burden themselves with taxes. What
sublime regard for the financial welfare
for their fellow man! What bitter
tears they must shed over the prospect
of their neighbor being buroened with
taxesl What a noble sacrifice of their
time inkthe attempt to save their neigh
Dor a sum of money, that if 1t came to
the worse. would not in the case Of
nine taxpayers out of Ten exceed the
amonnt that the average individual
pays for cigars IN week
Then just think of the sleep that they
must lose and the horrible visions of
overburdened taxpayers they must have,
and how they must worry over the taxes
that others--not themselves have
| to pay. ~
Such love and affection for mankind
has never before been seen in Las We
gas. 1t is truly refreshing.

SIX NEoRoEs KILLED.
White Miners at Carterviile, Ill.
Again RiOting.

Cirterville, Ill, September 18.-Car-
teryille was the scene of bloody riot
between white and negro miners today
Six negroes were killed and one mortal
ly wounded. The killed are: Rev. o.
Il. j. Floyd, Huse, Bradley. John
Black, Henry Bran, two unidentified.
Mortally wounded, Sim Cummings.
Trouble has been brewing ever since
the militia was recalled by Governor
Tanner last Monday, since which time
the white miners refused to allow the
negro miners to come into town. To-
day thirteen negroes marched into town
and opened fire on crowd of whites.
The whites returned the fire promptly
and running fgnt ensued. The ne
groes were closely followed by the
whites and scattered, some running uI
Main street and the remainder starting
down the railroad track. Here the
worst execution was done. After the
fight four dead bodies were picked uI
and another mortally wounded. They
were taken to the city hall where the
wounded man was given medical treat
ment and an inquest was held over the
dead ones. Later, near the Brush
mines in another part of the city, two
other dead bodies were found.

A COUP OF BoERs is FEARED

chases of Horses Figure
In IL.

PRETORIA, Sept. 18.-The reply of
the South African republic to the iateat
dispatch, dated September IL, of the
British secretary of state for the colo
nies, Joseph Chamberlain, after ac-
knowledging the receipt of the British
note, proceeds to state the position of
the Transvaal government. 1t covers
nine pages and is eminently negative
aud inconclusivo" IN character, which
Chamberlain declared would compel the
imperial government to consider the
situation atresh. 1t practically repddi-
ates suZerainty, reverts to the seven
years franchise and declines to give
equality to the Dutch and English Ian
guages in the Volksraad
London, Sept. 18.-The TraAsvaal
situation remains practically I'M
changed. A general apprehension in
regard to the outcome is reflected ~
a decline in consols and stocks on the
stock exchange where, although all
the stocks continued depressed, there
was not the slightest approach to ex-
citement. The text of President Krug-
er's reply was issued by the secretary
of state for the colonies, Mr.. Chamber
lain, this afternoon but adds nothing
of Importance to the previous knowl-
edge of it's contents. The language
in many places is taken to indicate
firm, unyielding position. The re-
ply, however, concludes: "If her ma
jestys government is willing and feels
able to make this decision of a joint
comission as a first proposed by Mr..
Chamberlain it would put an end
to the present state of ten
sion. Race hatred woud decrease and
die out and prosperity and the wei
fare of the South African republic and
the whole of South Africa would be de-
veloped and furthered, and fraterni-
zation between different nationalities
would increase"
A second edition of the Times con-
tains a dispatch from Johannesburg
which says: There is, am informed,
some early coup in contemplation.
Quantities of compressed forage are
being forwarded in the direction of the,l
Natal border and indicate some move
on the part of troops in that quarter.
The government is buying horses
freely today"

Had Heavy Hail.

Harry L. Cutler came in from Gas
con, late yesterday afternoon and re-
ported having had cold, bleak drive.
The hail storm that prevailed in his
vicinity Saturday afternoon covered
the ground with hail stones to the
depth of three inches. At Richard
Dunn's saw mill the hail was SO
deep as to fill up nearby arroyo and
threaten to dam up the flood water so
that it would overflow into the mill
All hands turned to with garden rakes
and implements of various sorts and
raked the hail out of the arroyo, thus
averting possible trouble. When
Mr.. Cutter came along the road yester-
day forenoon he saw hail lying in
drifts in sheltered places.

Mrs. Cordova's and her baby, eight
lives in all.
fOne child. boy of 10 years. who
happened to be in the doorway when
the house fell, escaped and not being
able to rescue any of his relatives.
walked two miles at night for assis-
tance. The little fellow before
leaving tried to release one of his lit
tie sisters who cried to him for aid,
hut his efforts were unavailing and
he started for assistance.
The accident was caused by the re-
cent heavy rains working the dirt
roof of the house loose and the house
being an old structure became thus
weakened and fell in.
! The funeral was held this morning
at Guadalupita. There were four
coffins, two bodies in each coffin.
Cordova was a farmer and also
worked good deal around sawmills

Board OF Public Works of the City of
Las Vegas, New Mexico
The foregoing communication was
addressed to the Aqua Pura company
in order that the opponents of the
bond proposition will not be able to
say that nothing was left undone by
the city to come to an understanding
with the Aqua Pura company. The
communication in no way weakens
the position of the city. In case the
Aqua Pura company is willing to sell,
it would be necessary to issue bonds
for the purchase of the water works
and the bond question must be sub
mitted to the voters, no matter what
the circumstances may be- TheAgua
Pura company is therefore given one
more opportunity to redeem itself.
Will it do it?
