LAW enforcement is right and
proper, when il does not apply to
particular laws and is no respectel
of persons, but applys to all with
out regard to race, color or prev
ious condition OF scrvitude. Ther,
is probably one section OF the
election law which has been over
looked by great many good citi-
zens, but during the heat of a
political campaign 1t is the object
to be attained and not a strict
compliance with law that is upper
most in the mind OF even the
average good citizen. The section
to which we refer reads as follows:
mo person shall sign more than
one certificate OF nomination for
any Office" and any person who
shall violate or attempt to violate
any of the provisions OF the cleo
ton law shall be deemed guilty OF
felony, and on conviction thereof
shall be punished by imprison-
ment in the penitcntiary not less
than one year nor more than FIVE
years. How does that sound TO
some OF our good citizens who
signed three certificates of nomina-
tions last fall, under the head OF
democrat" "silver republican"
and "Teller silverrepublican" plac-
ing a certain candidate in nomina.
ton for certain Office. All laws
should look alike to the good
citizen, and all violators thereof
should be equally culpable, but
are they9 We don't think.

Question Answered.


Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale OF any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers and
grandmothers never thought OF
using anything else for Indigestion
or biliousness. Doctors were very
scarce and seldom heard OF appen-
dicitis, nervous prostration or heart
failure, etc. They used August
Flower to clean out the system and
stop fermentation of undigested
food, regulate the action OF the
liver, stimulate the nervous and or
ganic action OF the system, and
that is all they took when feeling
dull and bad with headaches and
other aches. You only need fow
doses Of Green's August Flower,
in liquid form, to make you salts
fed there is nothing serious the
matter with you. For sale at
Finney's pharmacy.

CITIZENS. TICKET.

The Citizens Ticket was filed
by petition with City Clerk Thomp-
son Monday, the candidates for
the various Offices being as follows:
Mayor-F. A. Sabin.
City Clerk-G. S. Thompson.
Treasurer. w. Fisher.
City Attorney-T. X. Hoffniire.
Marshal--John Devine.
Street Supervisor-k. n. Kirk
patrick.
City Engineer-F T. Lewis.
Police Magistrate = II. 6.
Bourne.
Alderman, second ward, two
years-Matt Daimler.
Alderman, third ward, two years
j. b. Weiland; one year, V. Al
bera.
The gentlemen named above
will offIciate as our municipal Of
ficers during the ensuing fiscal
year and inaugurate our career as
a city OF the second class. All
have had previous experience in
our municipal affairs and ought to
give us an administration to which
they will be able 10 point with
pride as officials and one which
their supporters can commend at
all times. II law enforcement is
to be the issue the candidates on
the Citizens ticket will be second
to none in carrying out the wishes
OF the people. All good citizens
believe in enforcing the laws, but
whenever the officials OF town
choose to give their entire time
and undivided attention to that
one subject there is an end to ad-
vancement and progress.
There is no more orderly or law
abiding community in the Arkan-
sas Valley than La Junta, but
March winds and April showers
invariably cause some OF our citi-
zens to become afflicted with a
spasm Of virtue OF about one
months duration. The balance OF
the year they are very much like
ordinary people. We have lived
under both administrations in La
Junta during the past three years,
and if there is any difference so far
as moral conditions are concerned
the distinction has not been per-
ceptible to the editorial naked
eve. These annual sqnabbles re-
suit in no good to the town, either
moral or physical, and the sooner
there is an end to them the better
it will be for all concerned.

day morning Dy Crank Challen while
standing behind the bar. is lying in an
extremely dangerous condition at the
Scranton Private hospital. to which in
stitution he was removed yesterday af-
ternoon from the Lackawanna hospital
The bullet has not yet been extracted
and this fact is giving the surgeons
serious concern. 1t has been ascer-
tanned that it passed through the upper
part of the left lung. but it's location is
Il mystery. This piercing of he lung
is the dangerous feature of the injury.
1t was stated at the hospital last night
that Cook has Il fighting chance for
life.
Frank challrn. the man who shot
Cook. was committed to the county Jail
ON Saturday morning without bail to
await the result of his victims in
iuries. He said at til" hearing that he
did not mean to shoot at Cook when
he fired. but that he had shot at an
other man who had struck him. Some
body iostled his arm and his arm was
diverted. he said.
William Brown. who has roomcd with
Challen during the latter's stay in this
city, and who was With him at the
time OF the shooting. says that h" shot
in self-defenSe. Challen, he SAID. had
quarrelled with man on LacNawanna
avenue because he had kicked Il dog
belonging to a. woman whom the man
was accompanying.
This man struck CEallen, Brown

The meeting of street ear strikers adj
rcrtised tn take place last night was
very generally and vnriously miscnn

plainabla to tho strikers. the mnrcs.
sion got abroad that the question of
declaring III" strike off was To be con-
sil"rvd
Tn" original intention. the executive
committee declares. was to simply have
night meeting of the car mems union
to enable such of its members who are
ut work to attend and learn what was
being done towards gaining n victory.
When the time for the meeting arrived
II large number of union men. other
than car men. were present. and it was
decided to make II an open meeting.
As a consequence. nothing was done
further than speechnaking. National
Treasurer Orr. of the street railway
mems union, made the principal adj
dress. He is to remain here to take
charge of the strike, relieving President
MaNon, who Is i'll.
1t Is announced that the Central
Labor union proposes to take active
measures towards securing financial
assistance for the strikers. At the last
meeting Of the central body a commit

means OF raising money. It's report is
