The Tribune takes no stock in the
street rumors and sensational special
kilograms sent to Fargo and Grand
Forks papers to the effect that there
exists a deep-laid conspiracy and plan
to defeat the holding of a republican
city convention. Those who know
DR.. Bentley, best and judge without
bias believe he would not lend his as
sistance, knowingly, to such a proceed
ing. In conference with republican
leaders o. Saturday at which time it
was thought best to postpone the con-
vention for a few days, DR.. Bentley
was positive in his declaration of re-
greet that the postponement was neces-
sary; he desired to be consistent as
we'll as rational and thought and hoped
the conditions would. be such that
serious objection could not be raised
etc the holding of the proposed conyen-
ton by Wednesday, or Thursday. 1t
is doubtful if there would be as much
danger from contagious disease in a
convention of this MISUNDERSTANDING
in session but a brief period in a large
hall-as there is constantly in the
over-heated and crowded hotel offices,
and other resorts, where hack-drivers,
boys and young men of every class
gather every evening. In the larger
cities public gatherings are seldom re-
strieted. Contagious cases are usu-
ally Guaranteed, or removed to hos
pitfalls and the premises thoroughly
disinfected. Dr.. Bentley believes ex-
treme measures are for the public good
and as the official head of the city
board his Judgment is accepted and
obeyed. Realizing the necessity Of
holding a republican convention some
time during the week, however, he
will, the Tribune feels warranted in
predicting, SC modify the regulations
as to permit its being held.

not the proper criterion to judge of a
members ability and usefulness. Wa
a member active on committees? Was
his advice for and against measures
practical and timely? Some members
failed to eve introduce a single bill
but they may have done their constit-
uents a good turn by heading off some
that were introduced by others. The
five vetoed bills appear in this list to-

OIL looking at some women who have mar
ried fortunately that they are both passe
and exceedingly ugly, but don't make the
mistake Of thinking that they appeared
so for one moment to the men who want
ed them for wives. Now mind you 1
am talking about love matches, which,
according 40 my philosophy of life, are
the only marriages, and I've seen men
desperately in love with very ugly women.
These are rare cases, of course, but they
do exist and invariably the man is color
blind, nor does he love that ugly woman
until he is convinced in his own mind
that she is both fresh and fair,
"'Ware the man 1 say who can look
at his wife with coldly, critical eye that
sees all her wrinkles and grey hair, who
keeps count of her birthdays and realizes
her age and it's infirmities. When he weds
with no delusions as to her appearance
his romantic attachment for her Is as
dead as a door nail. He may go on re-
specting and esteeming and all that. but
he absolutely has no kind of sentimental
emotion about her any longer.

years that follow the honeymoon. chose
her in the first instance because he was
conceitedly convinced that she was the
most beautiful houri of her sex, and to
him she remains just as fresh and just
as fair as the days in which he courted
her. So long as he fondly loves, he can
not see any change In her appearance.

their rites and customs as sacredly as the
Chinese themselves. whom they very
much resemble. They have their own

keep themselves separate from the In

They are nearly all farmers and shep-

wool from which they manufacture wool

those countries where they may find the
best markets, returning laden with such
goods as their own country does not sup

They are famous throughout Guatemala

their backs over the very worst roads,
and covering the longest distances in the

stature, scarcely over five feet in hight,
they are robust, broad-shouldered and

The number of these Indians is esti-

might be easily defeated outside their

dyes, chiefly indigo, carmine and yellow

rugged and immovable as the basalt cliffs
which tower above their mountain homes.
OF the religion of this strange people
little is known outside of their own COM
munity. Though the white priests deny
1t, 1t is claimed by those who pretend to
know, that the Nahuilas still fear the
God of their ancestors and propiuate his
anger at times with the blood of new

huilas. They speak a language of their
own, which none of the surrounding
tribes understands, and they most per-
sistently refuse to learn Spanish, the Ian
guage of the country. On the surface
they appear a morose, sullen people, whose
only desire is to be let alone. Travellers
are discouraged as much as possible, and
the few tourists who make their way
thither are persistently misled by volun-
teer guides, who try to set them off trail
and lose them upon a road leading away
from the country.
The nights about the Nahuila country
are known as Los Altos. and consist of
extensive table lands thickly strewn with
Indian villages and cities. Crossing these
table lands and winding around these
mountain sides is a highway connecting
Guatemala city with Quezaltenango, the
second city of the republic. AT an alti-
tude of 1000 feet is the quaint old town of
Patzun and here the highway sweeps away
to the right. To the left is an Indian
road scarcely fit for mule travel, which
the traveller is invariably cautioned not
to take. If he disregards this advice he
