Christmas day he brought Mrs.
Stebbins from Jefferson to Austin
and remained there until Decem-
Der 31st, January 18th he took
his wife and children with him to
jefferson. In reply to the ques-
ton "What, if anything, was done
with reference to breaking up
your household in Austin?" he
said: "Nothing whatever. l took
nv wife aud two children in the
light spring wagon and left every
thing in tie house, bed, provisions,
sewing machine and the winters
wood, left everything, took moth
ing except a small trunk, no bed
ding, not a thing in the world ex-
cept a little trunk" His wife re-
turned for a couple of days in the
month of March for the purpose of
using the sewing machine that
they had left behind. The family
finally left Jefferson and went
back to Austin during the latter
part of the month of August. He
testified that he attended a meet
ing of the School Board each
month except the month of Febru-
airy, and that he always intended
to return to Austin.
This testimony was practically
uncontradicted and needs the aid
of no argument to convince us
that relator had not lost his resi-
dence in the town of Austin.
1t is ordered hat a judgment
of custer be entered against re-
spondent with costs.

the authority of that case a judg-

ORIGINAL PROCEEDINGS
QUO WARRANTO
VIM. Woodburn, Attorney Gener-
al,
Torreyson & Summerfield,
For Relator,
A. j. Maestretti,
Trenmor Coffin, For Respondent.
Opinion by Belknap, j.
This is an original proceeding
in the nature of quo warranto to
determine whether relator or re-
spondent is entitled to the office of
school trustee long term of Austin
School District in Lander county.
The District Attorney of the
county who is ex-oficio County
Superintendent Of Schools, and in
whom is vested authority to fill all
vacancies in the office of school
trustee, deeming that a vacancy ex-
listed for the reason that relator
had not taken the oath of office
az required by law, and that he
had ceased to be a resident Of the
town of Austin in which the duties
of his Office were to be exercised,
appointed respondent to the va
oancy.
1t is tacitly conceded that at the
school election in the month of
May, 1900, relator was elected long
term School Trustee and was act
ing as such when he was displaced
by respondent. 1t was shown that
relator was regularly sworn and
took and subscribed to the official
oath introduced in evidence in
this case before a duly appointed
and acting Notary Public, of the
county, but the jurat of the notary
is not authenticated by his official
seal. The seal of the officer would
have been pima facie evidence
that the oath had been taken, but
it was not the only evidence of the
fact. 1t was competent for relator
to have shown, as he did show by
oral evidence that the oath was in
fact taken. In this connection it
is argued that the oath was not
endorsed upon the certificate Of
election. Section 1894, Compiled
Laws, requires that the oath shall
be endorsed upon the certificate of
election and signed by the officer.
The substantial purpose of this re-
quirement is the qualification of
the officer by taking and subscrib-
ing to the oath, and this was ac-
complished. The provision that
the oath shall be endorsed upon
the certificate of election is direct
ory merely and no penalty is i'm
posed for its non-performance.
Upon the question of residence
relator testified that he had been a
registered voter of the town of
Austin ever since the year 1882,
and had resided with his family
for the past sixteen years in a
house owned by Mrs. Stebbins, his
wife's mother; hat he vas by pro-
fession a locomotive engineer and
had been employed as such by the
Nevada Central Railroad Company
upon its line Of railroad between
Battle Mountain and Austin; hat
he became unemployed, and about
October 14th, 1900, went to Jeffer-
son in Nye County to assist his
brother-in-law in caring for a band
of sheep which they jointly owned.
He returned to his home in Austin

The Colonel paused but a second. He
had spoken with the air of one who is
granting a favor rather than delivering
a command.
Capt Blake and Lieut. Summers an
swered with an exultant shout that
echoed from every lip in their COM
pany
A single impulse throbbed in each
heart simultaneously, and the leap OF
one foot was the movement Of all.
Until now the company had stood,
all their arteries conduits Of burning
fame Their faces gave evidence Of the
repressive struggle within them.
They had cast sullen, envious eyes
on other ranks Of men that, loosed
from restraint, were hurrying, like glad
streams, into the sea Of action.
Oh, the sickening agony, the soul
neuralgia OF the brave soldier who is
compelled for a time to become the
passive obiector Of roaring conflict!
The wild shouts Of his brother troop
ers in action ring in his ears, firing his
enthusiasm, but his feet are chained
to the ground.
All around him and through him
runs the thrill Of battle, His nerves
are leaping and vibrating like strings
swept oy heroic melodies, but he is
chained to passivity.
Ever and anon a shot strikes into
the human wall A man detached drops
and lies on the ground. There is re-
proach in the fading eyes, for the man
had been shot as he stood as helpless
as II tied to a tree
But now the Colonel's word had cut
the thongs from Capt. Blake's impa-
tient men. and gave them the liberty
OF action. And each man pressed for
ward as II victory sat on the hill to be
claimed by him alone.
An accommodating wind shouldered
aside the masses Of smoke and exposed
the redoubt.
About the mouths OF the great guns
was blown the foaming clouds Of death.
The redoubt seemed a great monster |
idol, belching fame and destruction to
the feet Of which hundreds Of human
sacrifices we're already being cast.

A novelty in the way Of women's
clubs is the Womans Board Of Trade
at Santa re, n NJ. II was hrst or
ganized IN 1898 for the purposesef en-
ablipg its members to visit the. worlds
fair at Chicago. ut took to itself the
name Board Of Trade to denote its
practical objects. After the exposition
it turned its attention to city improve
plent Santa Fe. like all cities both
IN old and New Mexico. has a plaza
IN the center OF the town. The plaza
at Santa Fe is place Of great hisz
toric interest many Of the salient
eyents Of the history Of the territory
having occurred there. On one side it
rs bounded by the governors palace,
a long abode building which has been.
the seat Of authority ever since New
Mexico was crown colony Of Spain.
With this interesting old building on
one side and the best shops and hotels
Of tie city on the other three, the
plaza should have been an ornament
70 the town. Instead ii was. sunken
and irregular in surface. covered with
rank growth Of alfalfa and sur
rounded by an old wooden fence The
Woman's Board Of Trade took vigor-
ous possession Of the plaza They
transformed the surface intd, fine
level lawn, replaced the old fence
with an elegant stone coping and
erected ashandsome drinking fountain.
This was not only an achievement in
itself but gave an impetus to like
improvements throughout the city.
The. board has also established free
library and reading-room, which now
contains several thousand good vol
umes. II has a visiting and relief
committee. which looks after strang-
ers and giEes them a welcome a boon
in a city to which so many sick and
unfortunate victims Of tuberculosis
bend their steps. 1t also has a com
mfttee on prevention OF cruelty to ami.
mails. The board is recognized by tax
payers and city government as an ac-
tive factor in successful municipal
government Notwithstanding its
splendid achievements 1t has no com
mand Of public funds. but such is its
standing in the community that it has
never had any trouble in raising suf-
hcient money for its work.

Lieut.. Summers is at the side Of his
rival and both tight with that cool
resolution and tremendous execution Of

Suddenly without experiencing any

strength flow from his great arms Out
stretched, their weight overbalanced
him. and he dropped forward. Bells
sang in his ears a moment, but by om-
