A NEW THEORY ADVANCED.
Falling MeteOrs, 1t is Now Said May
be Responsible For Western
Forest Fires.

Denver, Col, Sept. 15.-The preva.

teors drop in heavy pine forests, ex-
plode and start the fires. Local scien-
lists are making a study of this new

MAYOR AND CARPENTER.5
Facts About Stephen Charters, Chief
Executive of Ansonio. :

Facts About stephen Charters, Chief
Executive of Ansonin.
One of the new mayors who are attract
Ing great deal of attention just now is
the chief executive of Ansonia, Conn,
Stephen Charters. A laboring man him
self, he has in almost every instance APP
pointed to Office laboring men, and he
says he will prove that men in overalls
can take charge of municipality and
govern it just as we'll as ''men who wear
kid Gloves Before his election he was a
carpenter: Today he still follows thas
trade, and he intends to continue to earn
his living as carpenter while mayor.
During the daytime he works with chisel,
plane and hammer on a new building BE-
ing erected in Ansonia and in the evening
transacts his official business.
Mayor Charters was born in Limerick,
Ireland, in 1863, but his earliest memo
ries are of Ansonia, as he has lived there
since his childhood. Hesis a small man,
standing about feet inches in height,
but his shoulders are very broad and his
chest deep. He lives in a modest little
Little Falls herald. [volume] (Little Falls, Morrison County, Minn.) 1889-1950, 1902-01-10

home on hillside remote from the bdl-
ness section Of the city and some distance
from the trolley. It is just such place
as an independent man working for the
carpenters wage of $3.50 a day would
select for home he wished to own. He
has been married eleven years, but has
no children. The new mayor makes no
claim of collegiate ton, but he talks
we'll and measures carefully what he
says.
In outlining his policy Mayor Charters
recently said:>
Il do not intend to have any secret&
from the people. 1 intend to make quar
terly reports which will include every
part Of my administration that I deem
important. Everything will be done open,
ly, and 1 shall tolerate no meetings be-
hind closed doors. We will prove that in
the ranks of labor are men who can man
age the finances of city as well as bank
ers and brokers'"
The day Mayor Charters was inaugu-
rated he left the carpenters bench at II
o'clock, washed up and in his working
clothes started for the city hall. Learn
ing that large crowd was waiting to
see him inaugurated and disliking osten-
tation, he took the oath of Office in a no.
tary pub]ic's place and was back at work
before the impatient crowd was told the
ceremony had been performed.

FRIDAY, JAN. 10.

In 1896 a republican major
ity of the board of county
commissioners redistricted,
the county, confessedly un-
fairly and unjustly. The
town of Swan River ought to
have had a right to vote for
commissioner that year, but
was not allowed to do so.
With the help of a so-called
democrat, the two republican
members of the board have
perpetrated the same indig-
nifty upon the town of Pierz,
which should have voted for
commissioner this year, but
under the new apportionment
cannot do so till 1904. The
lob done in 1896 was not so
successful as those who con-
eocted it expected, as owing
to unforeseen contingencies
democrats instead of repub1i-
cans were elected in the first
district.' Possibly the result
may be the same in the pres
ent case. Regarding the &C
ton Of the man who made it
possible for the republicans
to do what they did,'it is only
fair to say that such action
was not unexpected by dem o.
Gratis who know that when a.
'democrat'' prefers the adj
vice and judgment of republic
cans to that Of mem bers of his
own party, especially in his
own town: that when the as
sociations and preferences of
such man are with republic
cans-that man is liable to go
back any time on the people
who have placed him in office.
When a man places himself in
opposition to the vast major
ity of the party he claims tc
belong to, he ought in com
mon decency join the ranks Of
those he favors.

IN Cold Weather.


When cold wave settles down
On the country and the town,
There's a lot of trouble that is put on tap:
Even cranks who used to yearn
For winter long and stern
Fall in line and growl about the chilly
snap.
Ice is forming here and there,
Often just in places where
Those who gingerly are stepping have no
fear;
Now and then thud is heard
And the atmosphere is stirred
BY remarks of chaps who played some
antics queer. J.
In the country districts pumps
Give the rural joys hard bumps
By their zeal in freezing up in one brief
night;
In the town there's deepest woe
When the water will not flow,
And tits learned that all the pipes are
frozen tight. !,
Those who have to shovel snow +
From the paths DER which they go
Are convinced that they're 4 most unhap-
py lot; y =
Many who must walk around
Where the chilling blasts abound
Are declaring they prefer season hot.
But the plumber broadly grins,
Ger the snow. the sleigher spins, ss@
And the merry skater cuts a lot Of ice,
For instead of growls and filings
At the weather winter brings
They unite in saying it is mighty nice.
So, though many scold- and frown
When cold wave settles down ~
And makes trouble that they're finding
:. hard to bear,
s,~ There are others who agree 81,
That the greatest time for glee
Is just when the ice and snow are every.
where. Fl 5s5 s q ~ :ss III ~ IS. 81
